A remote control system comprising a broadcast receiver and a remote controller for remote-controlling the broadcast receiver, wherein the remote controller includes: registering means in which at least one broadcast receiver is registered; a data obtaining unit that obtains data, by wireless communications, from an IC card or IC tag provided on an object in a public space; a recording-reservation-data storage unit that stores recording reservation data in a format supported by a broadcast receiver selected from said at least one broadcast receiver registered in the registering means of the remote controller; and a recording-data transmitter that transmits the stored recording reservation data to the selected broadcast receiver, and wherein the broadcast receiver includes: a recording-reservation-data receiver that receives the recording reservation data transmitted from the remote controller; a recording reservation unit that makes a reservation for recording according to the recording reservation data; and a recorder that receives and records broadcast signals according to the reservation for recording, wherein the remote controller includes: a program obtaining unit that obtains an electronic program guide; a recording-reservation data generator that extracts, from the electronic program guide, a program matching a program name or keyword included in the obtained data and that generates recording reservation data needed for reservation of recording of the matching program by said selected broadcast receiver according to a format supported by said broadcast receiver; and a reporting unit configured to report to a user of the remote controller that the recording-reservation-data generator has successfully extracted from the electronic program guide obtained by the program-obtaining unit a broadcast program that matches said program name or keyword included in the data obtained from the separate electronic device by the data-obtaining unit by wireless communication. registering means in which at least one broadcast receiver is registered;
