Abstract

一种方法、装置和系统，使用户通过显示第一同步可遥控设备如电视中的交互式显示菜单或语音提示，对通用遥控发射器装置编程，由此用户可以容易地对遥控装置编程来控制另外不同设备期望的类型、品牌和样机。

Description

对通用遥控装置编程
发明背景
本发明涉及通用遥控装置和相关可遥控设备领域。
通用遥控装置(URC)被广泛用于从单个元件控制多于一个的可遥控设备，而不是每个设备一个单独的遥控器。设备、装置或器具如电视、录像机或DVD播放器的制造商们经常在设备中包含URC，并提供关于如何对URC编程以控制另外设备的说明书，尤其当另外的设备是不同品牌时。为了对URC编程以控制另外的设备，用户一般必须使用说明书中的纸装查找表，或遵循书面的用法说明，该用法说明有时候指示用户在编程过程中使用URC上的液晶显示器(LCD)或其它显示器。用户常常会丢失说明书，并且在其它时候遵循书面的用法说明时有困难，这往往由于对一些类型设备的许多可能的品牌和样机编程的复杂性而不可避免地变得很复杂。
发明概述
根据本发明，提供了一种方法和装置，允许用户通过遵循由遥控装置显示的菜单或合成的语音对URC编程，比如TV、VCR或其它能产生显示或语音的可遥控设备。这种技术的一些好处在于它使用户从显示器得到视觉反馈或从语音发生器得到声音反馈，从而使URC编程过程更加容易。本发明使得即使在忘记把说明书放在什么地方时编程也很容易，能够节省制造商打印说明书的需求，并且避免在URC上制造LCD显示器的必要性。
附图简述
图1是URC逻辑的方框图。
优选实施例详述
尽管这个实施例将通过带显示器的电视进行说明，显示器上显示菜单，菜单还可以通过声音如合成的语音传送给用户。
参考图1，在可遥控设备的安装菜单中，在此以电视举例说明，例如，提供了菜单项10，显示给用户。按下URC上适当的按钮将出现一个菜单，例如，显示“按下你想控制设备的设备键并保持。”对于只设计有单个转换键或机械开关用来选择设备类型的URC，关于怎样使URC进入一个期望类型设备编程模式的适当指示将显示在TV上，例如，对VCR。当用户选择一个设备之后，URC进入“编程”模式并且也向电视发射一个信号，例如IR码，来关闭循环并激活下一个菜单。电视显示一个确认11表示已经成功进入URC编程例程并且TV进入了其对所选设备的URC例程12，例如，VCR(见例程13)。下一个菜单(例程14)可以通过从头到尾浏览一个可能的VCR品牌列表提示用户选择VCR的品牌。例如，该例程可以包括以下内容：
你的品牌名称以什么字母开始？
1-A-C
2-D-F
3-G-I
4-J-L
5-M-O
6-P-R
7-S-U
8-V-X
9-Y，Z
0-退出
按“清除”重新开始。
除数字或“清除”之外的按键都被TV忽略。如果按下一个数字键，适当的代码被送至电视。如果按下“清除”键，则发送“清除”代码，并且URC返回“正常”模式。每屏都必须有一个超时。
当接收到指示数字的代码时，电视从存储器中召唤14一个以所选字母开始的可用VCR品牌列表，例如“A到C”，并且随后电视屏幕将提示，例如：
选择你的品牌名称；
1-Axxxxx
2-Ayyyyy
3-Azzzzz
4-A......
.
.
9-更多
0-退出
按“清除”重新开始
按“返回”后退一步
这个过程一直持续到选择了一个明确的品牌名称15。
一旦选择了品牌名称，URC发送该代码序列的确认信息返回给接收器，通过一个屏幕显示消息来确认。例如，“你已经选择了Sony品牌的VCR”。
也可能需要选择辅助码类型，因为由于历史和品牌交叉的考虑不同的供应商会使用不同的代码。这可以通过菜单向导的方法进行选择，同上。如果有关于品牌名称的不确定性，确认屏幕将显示，
你已经选择了RCA品牌的VCR
你还需要试试代码的一些格式。17
(或者电视显示器可以检索16所选类型和品牌设备的所有可用格式。)
请按指示的键并检查设备是否有响应(例如用于VCR的“播放”，或用于电缆箱的“打开信道”)。
为了指示正确的代码，按键并保持3秒钟
一旦发现一个明确的代码，URC将向电视发送一个“确认”代码。电视可以提示用户保存所选择的格式20。然后URC可以向电视发送成功的信号，使电视退出编程模式18，这可以由电视来确认，并且这可以使电视退出交互例程19。
显然有必要使URC的编程算法必须与接收器钟的菜单内容“同步”。代码查找表基于“查看”由显示器描述的按键序列。
以下的实例是一个实施例，其中第一设备是VCR，并且URC被编程来控制作为不同设备的TV。一旦进入URC编程模式并且TV被选为进入URC进行编程的设备，菜单或声音可以显示：
“选择要控制的TV品牌：
00  RCA
01 Sony
   ：
   ：     >>所有可以被控制的品牌的输入项。
xx Zenith
按下TV键并保持
输入与所选品牌相应的2数字代码。”
然后URC向VCR发送一个消息前进到下一个屏幕或声音菜单，可以显示
“为了验证URC将操作你的TV，按VOLUME UP或DOWN(对将被编程的所选择品牌最通用的代码)。如果TV有响应，则按URC上的OK。”
响应从URC接收到的信号，VCR将清除屏幕显示(OSD)并显示消息，例如，
“如果TV没有响应，按CH UP前进到下一个代码。”
URC将前进到所选品牌下一个最通用的表并且重复验证过程。
一旦URC已经对所选品牌的所有表从头到尾前进了一遍，可以发送一个代码到VCR显示一个消息表明所选品牌的所有代码都已经试过了。
尽管本发明已经进行了详细的描述并联系实现其的最佳模式举例说明，对本领域的技术人员来说，很显然在不背离本发明主旨和范围的情况下可以有各种其它的实施例、可选方法和改进措施。
