The present invention provides a remote control system capable of controlling a number of devices on a network by one remote controller. A remote controller ( 10 ) requires a controlled device ( 20 ) defined as an object to be controlled to send display information. Thus, the display information stored in a ROM ( 21 ) of the controlled device ( 20 ) in advance is read and transmitted to the remote controller ( 10 ). The display information is described in a language such as HTLM, JAVA or the like. A browser on the remote controller ( 10 ) side displays a screen indicative of functions corresponding to a plurality of function keys ( 11 ) on a liquid crystal display ( 12 ). Thus, the function is selected based on the screen displayed on the liquid crystal display ( 12 ), and the function key ( 11 ) corresponding to the function is depressed, thereby making it possible to control the controlled device ( 20 ).
