Abstract:
    A remote control system includes an information processing apparatus and a remote controller. The remote controller includes a start notification transmitter that transmits a notification for causing the information processing apparatus to start recording an inter-device distance. The information processing apparatus includes a conversion table showing an association between amounts of change in the inter-device distance within predetermined time lengths and operations corresponding to the amounts of change; a start notification receiver; a distance measurement unit that periodically measures the inter-device distance; a measured distance storage unit that stores a measured inter-device distance in association with a measurement sequence; a determination unit that determines whether the amount of change in distance and the time length during which the change has occurred match any of the amounts of change in the conversion table; and an operation executor that executes the associated operation when the match is obtained.
