Definitions

  • the invention relates to a remote control according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a remote control is from the WO 99/62287 known.
  • the invention relates to an infrared remote control for multimedia devices with two separate keypads, one of which has keypad essentially control buttons for controlling certain functions of a controlled device and the other keypad an alpha keyboard for entering letters or Texts or an alphanumeric keyboard for entering letters, numbers and other characters.
  • the WO 99/62287 A2 shows a remote control with two keyboards, one of which is pivotable relative to the other.
  • the first keyboard is attached to a hinged lid of the second keyboard.
  • a switch detects whether this lid is open or closed and activates one of two transmitting devices, which are arranged on two different side walls of the housing and thus have emission directions which are substantially perpendicular to each other.
  • the hinged lid has no independent keyboard but only holes through which the first keyboard is accessible. Depending on the folding position of the lid different functions are assignable to the keys of this keyboard.
  • a remote control which is a substantially cuboid housing has, on one side of the first keypad and on the opposite side, the second keypad is arranged.
  • the problem with this known remote control is that the user involuntarily also actuates keys on the keyboard located in the current position below when seizing the remote control and thus triggers faulty signals. Also, by placing the remote control on a base, such as a table, a ... unwanted transmission takes place. To solve this problem could provide a position sensor, which determines which of the two keyboards facing up or down with only the upwardly facing keyboard is activated. Further, the arrangement of the two keyboards on opposite sides results in the user having to turn the remote control multiple times while inputting more complex commands until a complete input is done.
  • the upper housing part In mobile phones, it is known to design an upper and a lower housing part displaceable relative to one another, wherein the upper housing part has a display and the lower housing part has a keyboard. At rest, the upper housing part covers the lower housing part completely, so that the keyboard is hidden. When activated, the two parts are shifted against each other so that the keyboard is accessible.
  • the keyboard contains relatively few keys to which numerical values, i. Numerals are assigned, with a shift key, a mode can be selected in which the individual keys alpha characters, i. Letters are assigned. In most cases, a key is assigned a plurality of letters, which can be called up by repeatedly pressing the corresponding key. The input of texts is therefore very tedious and tedious.
  • the object of the invention is to further develop the remote control of the type mentioned in that either one or two keyboards are available to the user, a keyboard has conventional control buttons for the remote control of a multimedia device or a television set and the other keyboard keys for alpha characters or alpha numeric characters.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to arrange in a housing of a remote control a sliding keyboard, which is displaceable between a fully inserted and a fully extended limit position. In the extended limit position, both keyboards are within the user's field of vision. The two keyboards can then lie substantially in one plane or in two planes forming an obtuse angle to each other.
  • the remote control has two transmitting devices, in particular for infrared signals with different emission directions.
  • a sensor is provided, which determines whether the second keyboard is retracted or extended. Depending on the position of the second Keyboard is activated by either transmitter.
  • the two transmitting devices are arranged on two different and approximately at right angles to each other side surfaces of the housing of the remote control.
  • At least some of the function keys of the first keyboard are assigned other functions than when the second keyboard has been retracted. This preferably refers to the functions of so-called cursor keys.
  • the remote control has an elongated, in plan view, approximately rectangular housing when the second keyboard is retracted.
  • the first keyboard with the control buttons then emits the infrared signals over one of the short end faces and is held by the user so that the longitudinal axis of the remote control points to the controlled device.
  • the second keyboard is pushed out transversely to the longitudinal axis of the housing.
  • the user then has to turn the remote control in the plane of the first keyboard about 90 ° to operate the second keyboard.
  • the first transmitter on the front side is deactivated by the said sensor and activates a second transmitter on the second keyboard remote longitudinal side of the remote control and at the same time, at least the cursor keys of the first keyboard are switched with respect to their function.
  • the sensor can be a simple electrical Switch, a magnetic switch or other sensor that generates a signal indicating the position of the second keyboard.
  • Fig. 1 the remote control 1 is shown in a first mode, in which the housing is oriented so that one side 2 forms an upper side having a first keyboard 3 with a plurality of keys, the operation of which triggers predetermined control functions to a controlled device, not shown.
  • cursor keys 4, 5, 6, 7 which in this mode in the order named the functions "up”, “down”, “left” and “right” are assigned.
  • These keys 4 to 7 are distributed on a circular path and in the middle of another key 8 is provided, which serves as a confirmation key.
  • a first infrared transmitting unit 13 On a front side 9 of the housing, which is approximately at right angles to the top 2, a first infrared transmitting unit 13 is arranged.
  • a bidirectional operation may also be a transmitting / receiving unit.
  • the transmitting unit 13 In the in Fig. 1 shown first operating position, the transmitting unit 13 is activated, ie when pressing one of the keys of the first keyboard 3 is emitted by it a coded infrared signal in a first emission direction 19.
  • the housing of the remote control has two side surfaces 10 and 11, which connect to the longitudinal sides of the top 2, wherein one of the side surfaces, here the side surface 11 is extremely narrow, so that the front view of the Fig. 2 or a cross section through the housing has almost the shape of a triangle.
  • the housing has an underside 15 which connects the two side surfaces 10 and 11 with each other and which is inclined to the top 2 at an acute angle, which is for example 25 ° here.
  • an acute angle which is for example 25 ° here.
  • the two side walls 10 and 11 may be the same length with the result that the housing then has a substantially rectangular cross section and the top 2 and the bottom 15 are substantially parallel to each other.
  • a slidable keyboard Disposed on the underside 15 is a slidable keyboard, referred to herein as a second keyboard 16, and as shown in FIG Fig. 4 represented, a so-called alpha keyboard is, which may have differently arranged keys depending on the country, for example in the form of the European QWERTY keyboard or the common in Anglo-Saxon QWERTY keyboard is constructed.
  • the second keyboard 16 is parallel to the bottom 15 between two limit positions displaceable between a first fully retracted position, in which they in the plan view of Fig. 1 is not visible and a second fully extended position, the Fig. 4 is shown and in which the second keyboard is completely visible.
  • a recessed grip 17 is provided on which the second keyboard 16 can be gripped to engage it in the Fig. 3 shown in dashed lines and provided with the reference numeral 16 'position.
  • the keyboard is pushed out on the side wall 11.
  • a second infrared transmitting device 14 is mounted, the infrared-coded signals from the side wall 10 in a second emission direction 20 radiates, which is approximately perpendicular to the first emission direction 16.
  • a sensor 18 is arranged, which detects the state of the second keyboard 16, namely whether it is fully retracted or fully extended.
  • This sensor 18 may be a simple electrical switch that is mechanically actuated by the displacement of the second keyboard 16.
  • switches or sensors may be used, such as magnetically actuated switches or capacitively actuated switches that provide a corresponding electrical signal depending on the retracted or extended position of the second keyboard 16.
  • the user is the remote control in the in Fig. 4 rotated position shown so that the second keyboard 16 points to the user and the side wall 10 with the second infrared transmitter 14 toward the device to be controlled.
  • this is substantially in a plane to the bottom 15 of the housing.
  • the user sets the remote control with the bottom 15 on a table, the second keyboard 16 is oriented horizontally and the first keyboard 3 is inclined at an obtuse angle toward the user.
  • the switch 18 the second IR transmission unit 14 is activated in this position of the second keyboard 16 and the first IR transmission unit 13 is deactivated.
  • the keys are reprogrammed in function, ie other coded infrared signals are assigned to these keys.
  • the key 4, which is in the operating mode of Fig. 1 has the function "up”, receives in the second mode, the in Fig. 4 is shown, now the function "left”.
  • the key 5 is assigned the function "right”
  • the key 6 the function "down”
  • the key 7 the function "up” so that the arrow symbols shown on these keys 4 to 7 correspond to the orientation of the remote control according to FIG Fig. 4 are adjusted.
  • the user wants to switch back to the first operating mode (without second keyboard 16), he pushes the second keyboard 16 in turn completely into the bottom 15 of the housing, which in turn activates the first IR transmitting unit 13, the second IR transmitting unit 14 is deactivated and the function of said keys 4 to 7 is switched back to the first mode.
