Abstract

Disclosed is a preprogrammed universal remote controller. In order to identify which of the plurality of prestored groups of control codes are to be used for controlling a given appliance, the controller requires one control command to be received from the appliance's dedicated remote controller. The controller recognizes the control code group comprising said control command and subsequently uses the control codes of said group for controlling the appliance.

Description

Remote controller
The present invention relates to a kind of remote controller, it comprises that one has wherein been stored the control routine table of the many groups control routine that is used to control a plurality of target devices and has been used for selecting one group of control routine of above-mentioned control routine group to control the device for selection controlling of a target device.
The remote controller that defines in the top opening paragraph is commonly referred to the pre-programmed remote controller.The prestore control routine of multiple controlled plant of multiple different vendor of this remote controller.Disclosed the example of a this remote controller among the EP-A-0 331 257.In this remote controller, the user must key in a code and use the control routine group which prestores in order to identification.Must in the remote controller user's manual, search the code that to key in.Another example is disclosed in US-A-4, in 703,359.Correctly respond until controlled equipment by the predetermined exploration order of each group of continuous transmission, this remote controller identifies the control routine group of use.When send souning out order, the user must carefully observe controlled plant, and stops immediately sending arouse the response of equipment in the control routine of sending after.
An object of the present invention is further to improve a kind of convenience of general remote controller.
For this reason, remote controller according to the present invention is characterized in that comprising the device that receives at least one control routine from another remote controller, also is to be designed to discern device for selection controlling with the corresponding target device of being received of control routine and to select and the control routine of the target device control corresponding code-group that identifies as the above-mentioned target device of control.
The present invention can make the user replace common dedicated remote control with general remote controller at an easy rate.Therefore, normal remote control and general remote controller are staggered relatively and press any key of normal remote control.General remote controller just can be controlled all functions of this target device subsequently.
By providing above-mentioned feature, this remote controller can substitute multiple common dedicated remote control for plurality of target equipment such as TV, video tape recorder, CD player etc.
What Fig. 1 showed is the block diagram of the remote controller according to the present invention.
Fig. 2 shows be normal remote control and according to the present invention the allocation plan of the remote controller of design.
Fig. 3 shows is the remote controller according to the present invention flow chart of finishing the work.
What Fig. 1 showed is the block diagram of the remote controller according to the present invention.Among Fig. 1, photodiode 11 is optical sensors, is used to receive the infrared remote control code of another remote controller.Preamplifier 12 optionally amplifies a predetermined frequency signal.Demodulation part 13 generates the numerical data that is used for control routine by carrying out demodulation through the preamplifier amplifying signal.Key matrix 14 comprises the operation keys of this remote controller.Generate the key code corresponding by scanning key matrix 14 key encoders 15 with each key.The action of control circuit 16 remote controllers.ROM17 is a control routine table, has wherein stored the control routine that is used for one or more controllable devices.RAM18 is SRAM or quick internal memory, has wherein stored the control routine and the macroprogram that are used for actual controlled equipment.ROM17 and RAM18 can be implemented as the part that an independent equipment also can be implemented as control circuit 16.Display 19 is a LED or LCD display, is used for state and other data of display remote controller.Output buffers 20 affacts infraluminescence equipment 21 with each control routine that will send.
Fig. 2 shows normal remote control 30 and according to the allocation plan of general remote controller 10 of the present invention.Placing remote controller like this makes the photodiode 11 of general remote controller 10 can receive infrared control order from normal remote control 30.
The control program of storing and operate in control circuit 16 is determined the action of general remote controller 10.What Fig. 3 showed is the flow chart of finishing the remote controller action with above-mentioned control program.At step S1, remote controller is arranged to a recognition mode.At step S2, remote controller is waited for the infrared control code that receives from normal remote control 30.Response is by next any key, and normal remote control is sent a control routine.At step S3, receive this control routine.In more detail, photodiode 11 receives this control routine, and after being amplified by preamplifier 12,13 carry out demodulation in the demodulation part, and affact control circuit 16.
At step S4, control circuit 16 check received control routine whether be stored in ROM17 in a control routine corresponding.If find corresponding control routine, if or find in ROM17, to surpass the control routine that a code-group has a correspondence, by a different key, program is returned step S2 at display 19 display requirements.Therefore, suppose that a single control routine can not identify this target device, just discerns based on many control routines.
If identified target device (classification of manufacturer and control routine), control program enters step S5, and wherein control circuit 16 is read the control routine group corresponding with the controlled plant that has identified and existed and is provided with the back use among the RAM18.For example, suppose to identify the control routine that receives control routine, be used for the control model of control routine that prestore of A company video tape recorder as remote controller 10 as the video tape recorder of control A company.Identical process can be used for the controlled plant of other types, as TV, and CD player etc.At last, remote controller enters step S6, enters standby mode.
The present invention discloses a kind of pre-programmed general remote controller.In order to identify to control to have used which group control routine in a plurality of control routine groups that prestore to locking equipment, this remote controller need be accepted a control command from the device-specific remote controller.This remote controller identification comprises the control routine group of above-mentioned control command and uses the control routine in the above-mentioned control routine group to control this equipment later on.

Claims (1)
