USER INTERFACE EQUIPMENT, INFORMATION PROCESSOR AND FUNCTION ALLOCATION METHOD TO USER INTERFACE EQUIPMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allocate functions which a device for operation such as an information processor has to user interface components such as a hard key mounted on user interface equipment. SOLUTION: When specification information regarding the interface components such as a liquid crystal screen and the hard key is transmitted from a UI device 10, a specification information receiving part 32 acquires a function allocation template and creates function allocation information if a model of the UI device 10 is clarified from the specification information and when the model is not clarified, creates the function allocation information by allocating the functions which the target device 30 for operation has to any interface component based on the specification information. An information allocation part 18 uses the UI device 10 as a remote controller of the target device 30 for operation by allocating the functions which the device 30 for operation has to the applicable interface component according to the function allocation information transmitted from the target device 30 for operation.
