CONTROLLER, DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

To reduce the possibility that a device is remotely operated from a location where the device cannot be seen.SOLUTION: A controller 1 wirelessly transmits a transmission signal using infrared rays as a medium to a device 2 that executes a specific operation when a specific condition is met. The controller 1 includes an operation portion 3 that accepts operation input from the outside, and a transmission portion 11 that transmits a transmission signal when the operation portion 3 receives one operation input. When the transmission portion 11 receives an operation input multiple times in a row within a certain period of time, the transmission portion 11 transmits a plurality of transmission signals such that a first infrared signal and a second infrared signal are included at least once each as the transmission signal. The specific condition is a condition regarding reception of the plurality of transmission signals in the device 2. The first infrared signal and the second infrared signal include mutually different pieces of data.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】機器を視認できない場所から遠隔操作される可能性を低減すること。【解決手段】コントローラ１は、特定の条件を満たすと特定動作を実行する機器２に、赤外線を媒体とする送信信号を無線で送信する。コントローラ１は、外部から操作入力を受け付ける操作部３と、操作部３にて操作入力を１回受け付けると、送信信号を送信する送信部１１と、を備える。送信部１１は、一定期間内に操作入力を複数回連続で受け付けた場合、送信信号として第１の赤外線信号と第２の赤外線信号とが少なくとも１回ずつ含まれるように、複数回分の送信信号を送信する。特定の条件は、機器２における複数回分の送信信号の受信に関する条件である。第１の赤外線信号と第２の赤外線信号とは、互いに異なるデータを含む。【選択図】図１
