Abstract:
1. A remote control system comprising: a mobile device that includes an input unit that accepts user's input operation; an operation signal transmission unit that wirelessly transmits an operation signal corresponding to the input operation while the input operation is being carried out; a frequency switching determination unit that determines whether to switch a transmission frequency band for transmitting the operation signal among a plurality of frequency bands, wherein the frequency switching determination unit determines whether to switch the transmission frequency band from a first frequency band to a second frequency band on the basis of at least any one of a manner of the input operation and a state of wireless communication; and an initial input determination unit that determines an input operation, which is accepted after a predetermined initialization time has elapsed from when the previous input operation is accepted, as an initial input operation, a transmission frequency switching unit that switches the transmission frequency band when the frequency switching determination unit determines to switch the transmission frequency band; and a receiver that is connected to a control target and that includes an operation signal reception unit that receives the operation signal; and a control unit that controls the control target on the basis of the operation signal received by the operation signal reception unit, wherein the frequency switching determination unit, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, determines not to switch the transmission frequency band until the initialization time elapses from when the initial input operation is accepted, and determines to switch the transmission frequency band when the initialization time has elapsed from when the initial input operation is accepted, and the frequency switching determination unit determines not to switch the transmission frequency band even when an input operation is accepted until the time the initialization time elapses from when the initial input operation is accepted.
