Remote-controlled apparatus, a remote control system, and a remote-controlled image-processing apparatus

摘要

A voice-signal/remote-control-pulse converter ( 30 ) receives a voice signal (S) by means of infrared rays (RV) from a remote control transmitter, and then performs voice recognition. An item of control information indicated by a recognized word (W) is converted into a control code (C) in the same format as that of a control code indicated by a remote control signal (RK). The control codes are entered into a remote control pulse selector ( 23 ) as respective remote control pulses P 1 and P 2 in the common format. The remote control pulse selector ( 23 ) enters exclusively one of the remote control pulses P 1 and P 2 into a remote control pulse decoder ( 24 ) in response to a remote-control-pulse switching signal (N).
