As in the example of FIG. 13, when a time is between 18:00 and 23:00 in a remote controller that receives weather, temperature, peripheral information, time, and brightness information, and the ambient brightness is dark, a light-on command may be proposed. LCD, touch screen or LED, button switch, etc. can be used to display the command proposal according to the environment. The proposed command may be displayed as an icon through an LCD or the like, and may be configured to directly execute the proposed command by clicking the icon through the touch screen.

In another case, when the weather is clear, the temperature is 10 ° C or higher, and there is no fine dust, and the time is 09:00 to 17:00, a command to open a curtain and a command to open a window may be proposed. In addition, if the brightness is dark and the time is 22: 00 ~ 04: 00, and the lighting is off among the peripheral devices, a command to close the curtain can be proposed.

Information on the environment such as weather, temperature, peripheral device information, time, brightness, etc. may be input from other devices, such as a remote controller's own sensor or a smartphone, depending on the system configuration. The IoT remote controller having the above-described characteristics may have a separate physical key to directly execute a function desired by the user in addition to the proposed command.

Referring to FIG. 14, brightness information is input through an illuminance sensor embedded in the system, and current temperature information is input through a temperature sensor embedded in the system. Weather information and time may be input from a smart phone connected through the communication unit 400 of the system. Peripheral device information may be input using information connected to or retrieved from the communication unit 400 of the system. Information about the input brightness, temperature, weather, time, and peripheral devices is transmitted to the usage environment recognition unit 200, and the usage environment recognition unit 200 arithmetics the inputted information and transmits the information to the central control unit 500. . The central control unit 500 may display a function icon and a description on the electronic ink display of the output means 112 when there is a function to be suggested to the user by checking the conditions of the current environment. Subsequently, when a user command is input through the touch screen of the first control means 111 and / or the second control means 123 located on the upper portion of the electronic ink display, the central control unit 500 executes a command according to the icon located on the touch area of the touch screen. ). In the central control unit 500, an appropriate command is transmitted to the communication control unit 300 according to the inputted command, and the communication control unit 300 calculates a protocol and code suitable for the mode and command to the counterpart device controlled through the communication unit 400. To deliver. Through the first control means 111 and / or the second control means 123, in addition to the functions suggested according to the environment, the user may input desired actions at all times.

According to the present invention described above, in response to the perceived surrounding environment information, that is, the device to be controlled is automatically searched for in response to the use environment and the characteristics of the control means are automatically converted according to the discovered device, as well as the surrounding environment where the body is recognized. Based on the information, it can be automatically converted into a preset shape, controlling a terminal (smartphone), PC, TV, and Internet of Things (IOT) devices.
