If the user utilizes choice of equipment button 310 selection equipment, for the equipment of above-mentioned selection, according to the classification of each control knob 320, in 334 li display command information of mentioned order information area.Therefore, the user utilizes the explanation of the control knob that mentioned order information area 334 provides, and can grasp each control knob 332 and carry out what kind of control.
For example, when the equipment of selecting as the user is TV, display the play in 334 li classifications of mentioned order information area according to each control knob, information such as static, channel selection, volume adjustment.
Since above-mentioned control knob 332 be positioned at the top of command information zone 334 and below, the user utilizes above-mentioned control knob 332, and the control signal of opertaing device is transmitted to relevant device.
Above-mentioned coupling assembling 340 utilizes serial PORT COM, downloads the device control information of setting in advance according to different device types.
When new purchase of equipment, when controlling object equipment is new equipment, can download the control information of this equipment by coupling assembling according to the universal remote control of said structure formation, when owing to reasons such as device processes, when existing equipment no longer is controlling object, can delete the equipment control information of original setting.
From Fig. 3 b we as can be seen, universal remote control comprises power knob 300, LCD display part 350, coupling assembling 340.
Select the selector button 352 of equipment such as TV, VCR to be positioned at above-mentioned LCD display part 350 1 sides, the control knob 354 of controlling present controlling object equipment is positioned at its other end.Here, LCD display part 350 can either only show the control knob of an equipment, also can show the control knob of a plurality of equipment.
Above-mentioned LCD display part 350 has the effect of touch pads.
Fig. 4 is the process flow diagram of an embodiment of the control method of universal remote control of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 4, the user judges the control information S400 that whether has set particular device in universal remote control.
If the judged result of above-mentioned steps 400 is not set the control information of particular device in universal remote control, above-mentioned universal remote control downloads and stores the control information S402 of particular device from relevant device.That is, the coupling assembling of universal remote control is connected with relevant device, from the control information of relevant device download equipment.
Behind the completing steps 402, above-mentioned universal remote control is judged whether the user has received and is downloaded the above-mentioned control select command S404 with the equipment of the equipment of information and registration in advance.
Received the choice of equipment order if the judged result of step 404 is users, above-mentioned universal remote control shows the control command information S406 of the control of the said equipment with information according to the kind of control knob.
At this moment, if the user utilizes the choice of equipment button to select the equipment of control, provide the title that shows above-mentioned selection equipment on the zone at facility inventory.And, on the command information zone, for the equipment of above-mentioned selection, according to each control knob classification display command information.
The user watches the control command information of above-mentioned demonstration, selects the control knob of wishing.
Then, above-mentioned universal remote control sends S408 with the control signal of above-mentioned user control button selection to relevant device.
The form of the control signal of above-mentioned transmission is with reference to the explanation of Fig. 6.
Fig. 5 is the process flow diagram of another embodiment of the control method of universal remote control of the present invention
As shown in Figure 5, universal remote control has judged whether to set the control information S500 of control particular device.
If the judged result of step 500 is not set the control information of particular device in universal remote control, above-mentioned universal remote control downloads and stores the control information S502 of particular device by coupling assembling.
Completing steps 502 shows the order language S504 of the control of the said equipment with information on the picture of above-mentioned universal remote control.That is, the button of the chart form that above-mentioned universal remote control is relevant with the control information of download shows on picture.Here, finish, on the meaning that can control this equipment,, generate the button and the icon of this particular device in the choice of equipment button area if download.
The user selects by the button that does not have the alternative button area that shows, selects particular device.Then, on the picture of above-mentioned universal remote control, show the control knob that control the said equipment uses.The user selects the control knob of hope from the control knob of above-mentioned demonstration.
Then, universal remote control produces the control signal of the control knob of user's selection, sends S506 to the said equipment.
Fig. 6 is the synoptic diagram of form of the control signal of one embodiment of the invention.
As shown in Figure 6, control signal comprises the company code of demonstration company, the device code of display device, the actual control data that uses, code affirmation.
Above-mentioned control signal is the form of the remote-controller data that shows when pushing a button on telepilot of user.
Because the product code difference of each product, existing universal remote control is owing to stored remote-controller data in advance in telepilot, and telepilot is restricted the control of multiple product.
But, by in telepilot, placing flash ROM, will control with bit string UNICOM news or by personal computer and download use, can overcome telepilot above-mentioned and multiple product be controlled the problem that is restricted.Certainly, in data, place information, on liquid crystal window, show, can construct universal remote control simple, that be convenient to grasp according to the remote controller buttons classification.
By above-mentioned description, the related work personnel can carry out various change and modification fully in the scope that does not depart from this invention technological thought.
Therefore, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the content on the instructions, must determine its technical scope according to interest field.
