A codeset having function-code combinations is provisioned on a controlling device to control functions of an intended target device. Input is provided to the controlling device which designates a function to be controlled on the intended target device. From a plurality of codes that are each associated with the designated function in a database stored in a memory of the controlling device a first code that is determined to be valid for use in controlling the designated function on the intended target device is selected. When the codeset is then provisioned on the controlling device, the provisioned codeset includes as a function-code combination thereof the designated function and the first code.

According to one embodiment, a reading support system includes a processing device. The processing device includes an extractor and a type determiner. The extractor extracts a plurality of regions from a candidate region. The candidate region is a candidate of a region in which a meter is imaged. The regions respectively include a plurality of characters of the meter. The type determiner determines a type of the meter based on positions of the regions.

Provided are a meter reading device, an attachment member, and a remote meter reading system. The meter reading device includes a recognition unit configured to recognize a measurement value measured by a meter device from an image picked up by a camera and generate numerical data indicating the recognized measurement value, a transmission unit configured to transmit the numerical data generated by the recognition unit to a storage device installed on a network, a mirror arranged so as to be opposed to a display surface at a given angle, and other components. The attachment member enables attachment of the meter reading device to the meter device. The remote meter reading system allows the measurement value displayed on an existing meter device to be checked at a remote location.
