The present invention relates to a remote control apparatus which can remotely control multiple devices. A remote control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a key input unit having multiple keys; a reception unit for receiving at least one device identification signal from at least one device or a transmission device corresponding to the device; a processor for detecting an identification signal for a device, which can be remotely controlled, from the at least one received device identification signal, and matching at least one of the multiple keys to a control command for the remote control of the device, on the basis of the detected identification signal; and a transmission unit for transmitting a signal corresponding to the control command when the key matched to the control command is selected. Accordingly, the present invention can remotely control multiple devices.

According to the principles as disclosed herein, a remote control contains a microphone. The microphone inside the remote control picks up the audio content of all surrounding sound in the room in which is it located. Specifically, if a program is being presented for viewing and listening on a particular A/V system, a remote control with a microphone will hear the program which is being presented at the same time that the system is sending the signal to its own speakers. The A/V system then receives a signal from the remote control providing the audio signal that that remote control has received. If the audio signal which the remote control has received matches the audio signal which the A/V system output to its speakers to broadcast into the room, then the A/V system will switch to be able to receive input from that particular remote control.

Disclosed in the present invention are a remote control mobile terminal, a remote control system and a remote control method. A voice recognition module and a remote control module are arranged in the remote control mobile terminal; and the method includes: completing pairing between the remote control module and a remote controlled object; receiving a voice control instruction inputted by a user, obtaining a corresponding remote control instruction according to the voice control instruction and sending the remote control instruction to the remote control module via the voice recognition module; and sending the remote control instruction to the remote controlled object via the remote control module to control the remote controlled object.

A memory (13) stores gesture information corresponding to a gesture (G) of a medical worker that is allocated to a function of a medical device (2). A sensor (11) is configured to detect a gesture (G). A transmitter (12) is configured to wirelessly transmit a control signal (CS) for remotely controlling the function. A processor (14) is configured to cause the transmitter (12) to transmit the control signal (CS) in a case where the gesture (G) corresponding to the gesture information is detected by the sensor (11).

A method for controlling an electronic apparatus which uses voice recognition, and an electronic apparatus applying the same are provided. The method includes, in response to a voice start command being input through a first microphone included in the electronic apparatus, converting a mode of the electronic apparatus to a first voice task mode and displaying a first icon corresponding to the first voice task mode; in response to the voice start command being input through a second microphone included in a remote control device, converting the mode of the electronic apparatus to a second voice task mode and displaying a second icon corresponding to the second voice task mode; displaying voice guide information; and in response to a user voice being input while the voice guide information is displayed, displaying a list including a plurality of items related to the user voice.

An electronic device controlling system that provides an instruction via voice for an operation of a speech recognition-capable electronic device includes a control device and a voice output device capable of communicating with the control device. The control device includes a first input unit that receives, from an operator, a first input to which a first operation instruction for the speech recognition-capable electronic device is assigned; and a transmitter that, when the first input unit receives the first input, transmits, to the voice output device, first information for communication corresponding to the first operation instruction assigned to the first input. The voice output device includes a receiver that receives the first information for communication from the control device; and an output unit that, when the receiver receives the first information for communication, outputs a first voice for the first operation instruction based on the first information for communication.

A method for controlling an operation of a target device using a plurality of input devices is disclosed. The method comprises: receiving from one of the plurality of the input devices a first operation instruction issued to the target device, with a first data format; recognizing the first operation instruction and the first data format; determining that the one of the plurality of the input devices is a first input device corresponding to the first data format; and providing to a user of the target device a recommendation for a second input device, a type of the second input device being different from a type of the first input device, when it is determined that a type of the first operation instruction is identical to a type of a second operation instruction received from the second input device earlier than the reception of the first operation instruction.

A monitoring device that serves as a remote notification system and provides communication between a medical device and a remote computing device. The monitoring device is installed in the medical device and has a microcontroller that is synched with a main board of the medical device, allowing signals and commands to be transmitted between the microcontroller and the main board. A transceiver is electrically connected to the microcontroller and allows for communication between the microcontroller and the remote computing device over a wireless network. The microcontroller monitors the medical device and sends an alert to the remote computing device when an undesirable states is detected. A dashboard application on the remote computing device allows a user to view alerts and initiate a plurality of medical device functions from a remote location.

A control method of an intelligent home terminal and an intelligent home terminal are provided. In the method, voice information input by a user is received; it is judged whether the voice information is a preset voice instruction; when the voice information is judged to be the preset voice instruction, the voice instruction is converted into a control command, and a related operation is executed according to the control command.

A display apparatus and an information alert method are disclosed. The method includes: while a first display is playing, controlling, according to acquired alert information, a second display to display an information alert interface, where the alert information displayed on the information alert interface is configured for indicating a state of at least one terminal device connected with the display apparatus.
