Abstract:
1. A remote control system for remote-controlling at least one electric device, each electric device having device identification data, comprising: a handset comprising a handset wireless transceiver; and a base unit having a telephone function to make a call, the base unit comprising: a base unit transceiver that communicates with the handset wireless transceiver bidirectionally; and a primary remote-controller that communicates with the electric device bidirectionally to control the electric device; the primary remote-controller comprising: a remote-control transmitter that transmits control data to the electric device by using the device identification data, the control data being used for controlling the electric device; a remote-control receiver that receives response data from the electric device in response to the control data; a detecting unit that detects the electric device; a storage that stores the device identification data associated with the electric device; and a display panel, wherein: the handset transmits an instruction for controlling the electric device to the base unit, the base unit transmits the instruction as the control data to the electric device, the base unit receives a reaction of the electric device in response to the control data as the response data, the base unit transmits the response data to the handset, the base unit transmits a beacon signal, the base unit detects an electromagnetic wave signal having a predetermined strength; the base unit determines whether the detected electromagnetic wave signal is a response to the beacon signal; the base unit identifies device identification data from the detected electromagnetic wave signal if the detected electromagnetic wave signal is the response to the beacon signal; the base unit determines whether the identified device identification data is already registered in the base unit; and the base unit registers the identified device identification data in the base unit as the electric device which is controllable by the base unit if the device identification data is not registered.
