In a network control system that enables interconnected operation between multiple devices connected to a network, the user selects two devices as desired objects of interconnected operation, among a TV receiver 100 , a projector 200 , and a printer 500 . The user directs and manipulates an infrared remote control 300 toward each of the selected devices to specify the device as an object device of interconnected operation. Each device receives an infrared signal sent from the infrared remote control 300 and executes control to allow for interconnected operation between specified devices. This arrangement of the invention enables the user to intuitively specify desired devices as objects of interconnected operation without using any special operation window.
