摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for controlling multiple types of media devices. SOLUTION: Communication between a computing device 110 and one of a plurality types of media devices 180 is to be facilitated. This system includes a device retrieval module which retrieves information from a device data set group controlled by a media device, and is controlled by the computing device. The device data set includes a device information data set which includes a set of properties unique to the type of the media device. The computing device includes an object retrieval tool with which object information is retrieved from a group of object data sets stored in the media device, and a control command module which controls an object of the media device.
