Abstract

The invention describes a method for control of a device (D1, D2, D3), which method comprises the process steps of aiming a pointing device (1) comprising a camera (2) at the device (D1, D2, D3) to be controlled, generating an image (3) of a target area (A) aimed at by the pointing device (1), and interpreting the target area image (3) to determine the presence of a unique visual identifier (V1, V2, V3) associated with the device (D1, D2, D3) to be controlled. On the basis of target area image analysis, the device (D1, D2, D3) at which the pointing device (1) is aimed can be identified, and a control signal (17) can be sent to the identified device (D1, D2, D3). The invention further describes a system (5) for controlling a device (D1, D2, D3), and to such a device (D1, D2, D3). Using the invention any device (D1, D2, D3) of a number of controllable devices (D1, D2, D3) is easily identified by means of the visual identifier (V1, V2, V3). In a preferred embodiment the visual identifier (V1, V2, V3) might be triggered by a trigger signal (T1, T2, T).
