receiving the identification information of the second information apparatus and the plurality of command codes transmitted from the second information apparatus by the first information apparatus, while the second information apparatus is connected with the first information apparatus;
executing a software program associated with the identification information and the plurality of combinations of command codes received, in reference to the command code information associated with the second information apparatus; and
outputting image data produced by the software program executed from the first information apparatus to the second information apparatus so as to display an image corresponding to the image data on the display.
2. The method of claim 1 , comprising detecting a power-on operation by detecting a command flow of the power-on operation in a command flow received from the second information apparatus.
3. The method of claim 1 , comprising receiving an instruction for whether to execute the software program.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the executing determines whether to execute the software program on a basis of the instruction.
5. An information apparatus connectable to a first information apparatus having a display, the first information apparatus capable of reproducing video image based on video information obtained from a remote source independently from the information apparatus, the information apparatus comprising:
a storage storing command code information associated with identification information of the first information apparatus, the command code information including a plurality of combinations of command codes, each of the combinations being associated with each of a plurality of software programs; and
a processor receiving the identification information of the first apparatus and a plurality of command codes transmitted from the first information apparatus while the first information apparatus is connected with the information apparatus, executing a software program associated with identification information and the plurality of combinations of command codes received, in reference to the command code information associated with the first information apparatus and outputting image data produced by the software program executed by the processor to the first information apparatus so as to display an image corresponding to the image data on the display.
6. The information apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the processor detects a power-on operation by detecting a command flow of the power-on operation in a command flow received from the first information apparatus.
7. The information apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the processor receives an instruction for whether to execute the software program.
8. The information apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processor determines whether to execute the software program on a basis of the instruction.
9. A computer-readable recording medium that stores a computer program controlling a first information apparatus connectable to a second information apparatus having a display, the second information apparatus being capable of reproducing video image based on video information obtained from a remote source independently from the first information apparatus, according to a process comprising:
storing command code information associated with identification information of the second information apparatus, the command code information including a plurality of combinations of command codes, each of the combinations being associated with each of a plurality of software programs;
receiving the identification information of the second information apparatus and the plurality of command codes transmitted from the second information apparatus by the first information apparatus while the second information apparatus is connected to the first information apparatus;
executing a software program associated with the identification information and the plurality of the combinations of command codes received, in reference to the command code information associated with the second information apparatus; and
outputting image data produced by the software program executed from the first information apparatus to the second information apparatus so as to display an image corresponding to the image data on the display.
10. The computer-readable recording medium of claim 9 , wherein the process comprises detecting a power-on operation by detecting a command flow of the power-on operation in a command flow received from the second information apparatus.
11. The computer-readable recording medium of claim 9 , wherein the process comprises receiving an instruction for whether to execute the software program.
12. The computer-readable recording medium of claim 11 , wherein the executing determines whether to execute the software program on a basis of the instruction.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the associated identification information of the second information apparatus relates to a type of the second information apparatus.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the executing of the software program changes based on the command code information associated with the second information apparatus.
15. The information apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the associated identification information of the first information apparatus relates to a type of the first information apparatus.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the software program executed changes based on the command code information associated with the first information apparatus.
17. The computer-readable recording medium of claim 9 , wherein the associated identification information of the second information apparatus relates to a type of the second information apparatus.
18. The computer-readable recording medium of claim 9 , wherein the executing of the software program changes based on the command code information associated with the second information apparatus.
