There is provided a remote control system which changes the functions corresponding to a specific operation unit provided for a controlling apparatus in accordance with distance, thereby improving the convenience for a user. The remote control system includes a controlled apparatus such as a TV set and a controlling apparatus such as a remote controller which remotely controls the controlled apparatus. A measuring unit measures the distance between the controlled apparatus and the controlling apparatus. A changing unit changes the functions to be executed when a specific one of a plurality of operation units provided for the controlling apparatus is operated, in accordance with the measured distance.

1. A remote control system, including a controlled apparatus and a controlling apparatus, which remotely controls functions of the controlled apparatus, the system comprising: a measuring unit which measures a distance between the controlled apparatus and the controlling apparatus;a changing unit which changes, when a specific one of a plurality of operation units provided for the controlling apparatus is operated, a parameter of the controlled apparatus corresponding to the specific one of the plurality of operation units; andan adjusting unit which adjusts a change amount of the parameter to be changed by the changing unit per one user operation to the specific one of the plurality of operation units when the specific one of the plurality of operation units provided for the controlling apparatus is operated, based on the measured distance,wherein the adjusting unit adjusts the change amount smaller as the measured distance is shorter. 2. The system according to claim 1, further including a determination unit which determines whether the measured distance satisfies any one of not less than three distance conditions,wherein the adjusting unit adjusts the change amount based on a distance condition which is determined by the determination unit that the measured distance. 3. The system according to claim 2, wherein the adjusting unit differentiates the change amount by each of the distance conditions. 4. The system according to claim 1, further including a sound output unit provided for the controlled apparatus which outputs sound, wherein the adjusting unit adjusts the change amount for changing volume of the sound outputted from the sound output unit, the volume of the sound being one of parameters of the controlled apparatus, andthe changing unit changes the volume of the sound based on the change amount adjusted by the adjusting unit. 5. The system according to claim 1, further including a video output unit provided to the controlled apparatus which outputs video, wherein the adjusting unit adjusts the change amount of an enlargement ratio of the video, the enlargement ratio is one of parameters of the controlled apparatus, andthe changing unit changes the enlargement ratio based on the change amount adjusted by the adjusting unit. 6. A controlled apparatus of which functions are remotely controlled by a controlling apparatus, the apparatus comprising: an acquisition unit which acquires information concerning a distance between the controlled apparatus and the controlling apparatus;a changing unit which changes, when a specific one of a plurality of operation units provided for the controlling apparatus is operated, a parameter of the controlled apparatus corresponding to the specific one of the plurality of operation units; andan adjusting unit which adjusts a change amount of the parameter to be changed by the changing unit per one user operation to the specific one of the plurality of operation units when the specific one of the plurality of operation units provided for the controlling apparatus is operated, based on the information concerning the distance,wherein the adjusting unit adjusts the change amount smaller as the measured distance is shorter. 7. The controlled apparatus according to claim 6, further including a determination unit which determines whether the measured distance satisfies any one of not less than three distance conditions, and wherein the adjusting unit adjusts the change amount based on a distance condition which is determined by the determination unit that the measured distance satisfies. 8. The controlled apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the adjusting unit differentiates the change amount by each of the distance conditions. 9. The controlled apparatus according to claim 6, further including a sound output unit provided for the controlled apparatus which outputs sound, wherein the adjusting unit adjusts the change amount for changing volume of the sound outputted from the sound output unit, the volume of the sound being one of parameters of the controlled apparatus, andthe changing unit changes the volume of the sound based on the change amount adjusted by the adjusting unit. 10. The controlled apparatus according to claim 6, further including a video output unit provided to the controlled apparatus which outputs video, wherein the adjusting unit adjusts the change amount of an enlargement ratio of the video, the enlargement ratio is one of parameters of the controlled apparatus, andthe changing unit changes the enlargement ratio based on the change amount adjusted by the adjusting unit. 11. A remote control method which remotely controls functions of a controlled apparatus by using a controlling apparatus, the method comprising: an acquisition step of acquiring information concerning a distance between the controlled apparatus and the controlling apparatus;a changing step of changing, when a specific one of a plurality of operation units provided for the controlling apparatus is operated, a parameter of the controlled apparatus corresponding to the specific one of the plurality of operation units; andan adjusting step of adjusting a change amount of the parameter to be changed by the changing step per one user operation to the specific one of the plurality of operation units when the specific one of the plurality of operation units provided for the controlling apparatus is operated, based on the information concerning the distance,wherein the adjusting step includes adjusting the change amount smaller as the measured distance is shorter. 12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions, the computer-executable instructions causing a computer to execute the method according to claim 11.
