Remote controlling system for electric device

1. A remote controlling system for an electric device, comprising:

one or more electric devices for communicating with a remote controller through a wireless communication network, the one or more electric devices transmitting state information to the remote controller according to a state request command from the remote controller and controlling a predetermined operation according to an operation control command from the remote controller; and

the remote controller, supplied with power by a common power source, for transmitting the state request command to the an electric device selected by a user, receiving state information from the selected electric device, and displaying the state information according to a display priority, the remote controller transmitting the operation control command to the electric device, wherein:

the remote controller receives and preferentially displays operation state information corresponding to another one of the electric devices when the selected electric device has top display priority,

the remote controller receiving the operation state information of the other electric device while the remote controller displays the state information of the electric device selected by the user,

the remote controller displaying the operation state information of the other electric device after receiving the operation state information of the other electric device, the operation state information of the other electric device automatically displayed in place of the state information of the electric device selected by the user, and

after displaying the operation state information of the other electric device, the remote controller automatically re-displays the state information of the electric device selected by the user.

2. The remote controlling system of claim 1 , wherein the electric device comprises

at least a transmitter/receiver for accessing the wireless communication network, and

a controller for performing the function of the electric device, and transmitting the state information to the remote controller through the transmitter/receiver or controlling the operation of the electric device according to the state request command or the operation control command from the transmitter/receiver.

3. The remote controlling system of claim 1 , wherein the remote controller comprises

a power supply unit applied with common power, for supplying power,

a transmitter/receiver for accessing the wireless communication network,

an input for acquiring a user input,

a display for displaying the state info nation, and

a controller for selecting the electric device or generating the state request command or the operation control command for the selected electric device according to the user input, transmitting the state request command or the operation control command to the selected electric device through the transmitter/receiver, receiving the state information, and displaying the state information on the display.

4. A remote controlling method for an electric device in a remote controller communicating with one or more electric devices through a predetermined wireless communication network, the remote controlling method comprising:

receiving state information of one of the electric devices; and

displaying the state information according to display priority, wherein the remote controller receives and preferentially displays operation state information corresponding to another one of the electric devices when the selected electric device has top display priority, the remote controller receiving the operation state information of the other electric device while the remote controller displays the state information of the electric device selected by the user, the remote controller displaying the operation state information of the other electric device after receiving the operation state info nation of the other electric device, the operation state information of the other electric device automatically displayed in place of the state information of the electric device selected by the user, and

after displaying the operation state information of the other electric device, automatically re-displaying the state information of the electric device selected by the user.

5. The remote controlling method of claim 4 , wherein the display priority comprises setting or user's selection for the displayed electric device.

6. The remote controlling method of claim 5 , further comprising:

generating a state request command for the set or selected electric device, and

transmitting the state request command to the set or selected electric device,

wherein the display step performs the display operation according to the state information from the set or selected electric device, or according to reception or non-reception of the state information from the set or selected electric device.

7. The remote controlling method of claim 5 , further comprising:

acquiring an operation control input for the set or selected electric device,

generating an operation control command according to the operation control input, and

transmitting the generated operation control command to the set or selected electric device, wherein the display step displays the state of the electric device corresponding to the operation control command.

8. The remote controlling method of claim 5 , wherein, when the state information is error state information or operation end info nation, displaying the state information includes displaying the error state information or the operation end information corresponding to the set or selected electric device.

9. The remote controlling method of claim 4 , wherein error state information or operation end information has top priority in the display priority.

10. The remote controlling method of claim 8 , wherein displaying the state information includes displaying an operation end state based on the operation end info nation after a predetermined time.

11. The remote controlling method of claim 8 , wherein displaying the state information includes displaying the state of an electric device which does not end an operation, after displaying the operation end state.

12. A remote controller comprising:

at least one receiver to receive state information of a plurality of devices through a wireless communication network,

a processor to receive information selecting one of the devices and to control transmission of a state request command to the selected device, the state information of the selected device received after transmission of the state request command; and

a display to display the state information of the devices, wherein:

the state information of the devices is based on display priority information,

when the state information of the selected device having a first display priority is displayed without display of state information of other ones of the devices, the state information of another device is automatically displayed in place of the state information of the selected device after the state information of the other electric device is received, and

the state information of the selected device is automatically re-displayed after the state information of the other electric device is displayed.

13. The remote controller of claim 12 , wherein the state information of the selected device is automatically re-displayed after the state information of the other electric device is displayed without the state information of the other electric device being simultaneously displayed.

14. The remote controller of claim 12 , wherein the first display priority is a top display priority and wherein the other device has a display priority lower than the top display priority.

15. The remote controller of claim 12 , wherein the devices include at least one appliance.
