Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a duplication method for a remote control operating in radio frequency and to a remote control obtained according to said method.
  • the invention concerns a duplication method for a remote control operating in radio frequency and capable of remotely control an electrical device by pressing at least one control key or button; said remote control including at least one memory, a transceiver and a microprocessor capable to execute a program.
  • a remote control is an electronic device that allows sending signals to another remotely placed device being controllable by means of those signals.
  • the remote control is a portable object having small dimensions, being battery operated and structured in order to being able to be easily kept and activated also with a single hand.
  • the most common remote controls in the domestic field are intended for opening and closing doors and gates or for controlling lighting systems.
  • a remote control is capable to emit electromagnetic signals that are picked up by the remotely controlled device by means of a dedicated receiver.
  • electromagnetic signals For short-range remote controls, infrared signals are used, while for longer distances, the radio waves are used and in that case, they are called radio remote controls.
  • remote controls in the domestic field which are defined as "universal" meaning that they have the peculiarity to be set in order to control a plurality of electrical devices such as a music center, a television and/or other apparatuses being present in the domestic field.
  • frequency counter which allows measuring the working frequency of the original radio remote control, usually being few dozens or hundreds of MHz.
  • the technical problem underlying the present invention is to conceive a method having such functional and structural characteristics as to allow duplicating an original remote control operating in radio frequency without needing to know anything about the receiver of radio frequency signals and even without needing to know the transmission protocols of the original remote control, which could have been manufactured by an unknown company or even being no more active in the sector.
  • the solution idea underlying the present invention is to provide for an apprenticeship step wherein the clone remote control is put listening a remote control to be duplicated; a recognition step of the working frequency and the code being transmitted by the original remote control to be duplicated, also in case of variable code, and a totally automatic storing control step, wherein the clone remote control initiates a recognition and accreditation procedure with the electrical device to be controlled, which, if it is permitted, stores also the new code of the clone remote control emulating the variable code of the original remote control to be duplicated.
  • said predetermined number of times is equal to four.
  • the step of storing in memory the recognized or emulated codes is implemented in three phases:
  • duration measurements are performed of n high-low and low-high transitions of the received radio signal obtaining the minimum and maximum duration values of these transitions. For the maximum duration of the transitions, the corresponding level of the radio signal is also stored.
  • the second stage of processing it is obtained the length of the period of the radio signal corresponding to the duration of the shorter transmission element, as well as the duration and the level of the pause corresponding to the duration and level of the longest transition.
  • the radio signal is sampled at different time instants, starting half a period after a transition and then continuing after each full period until the next transition from which it will be counted again half a period and so on.
  • the recognition procedure provides for the subsequent initiation of a storing step in case the recognized code is a fixed code or an emulation phase of a variable rolling-type code having a serial number different from the recognized code.
  • the storing procedure provides for the initiation of a procedure that automatically forces the storage of the new emulated code on the receiver of the electrical device to be controlled, said procedure generating alternative new and old codes transmitted in a predetermined sequence.
  • the invention refers also a remote control comprising at least one control key or button, a memory, a transceiver and a microprocessor capable to execute a program in order to implement the previously described steps of the method.
  • a remote control is schematically shown as a whole with 1, which will be defined in the following as "clone”, being realized according to the present invention by duplicating an original remote control.
  • the clone remote control 1 includes a casing 2 being essentially parallelepiped-shaped with rounded corners and having a reduced thickness.
  • the casing 2 contains and protects an electronic circuitry 3 including a microprocessor 4, a memory 5, a transceiver 6 and a pair of antennas 7 and 8. More particularly, the memory 5 is integrated in the microprocessor 4.
  • the double antenna has the advantage of increasing the radio frequency range and thus the effective action distance with respect to the controlled device.
  • All the electronic circuitry 3 is supplied by a small direct current battery being inserted in the casing 2, but not represented in the drawings because conventional.
  • buttons On the visible surface 9 of the casing 2 there are arranged few buttons among which: a control key or button 10, in order to control a main electrical device, a second programming key or button 11 and a third and fourth button 12, 13 in order to optionally control further electrical devices.
  • a signaling LED 14, being connected to the operation of the remote control 1 is also provided for.
  • the remote control 1 operates in radio frequency and, for this reason, in the following description it will be referred to using the term radio remote control.
  • the remote control 1 can also be defined as "universal", since it is capable to be used with a plurality of electrical devices to be controlled, particularly for a domotic use. Moreover, the remote control 1 is able to emulate the original remote controls being realized by a plurality of manufacturing companies, independently from their internal structure.
  • the clone remote control is structured in order to automatically force the storing of his codes on the receiver of the main controlled electrical device, but without a direct intervention on that receiver.
  • the emulation of the original remote control occurs after a learning procedure of the code of the original remote control, which in the following will be called copy procedure.
  • the method according to the invention initially provides for a procedure to be executed in order to put the clone remote control in "listening" mode and thus to be able to transmit to the clone remote control the same code and the same working frequency of the original remote control to be duplicated.
  • the replication procedure as a whole is innovative with respect to the similar products currently on the market and is extremely more simple and comfortable for the user.
  • the main advantage of the method of the present invention is given in that it allows working with both free hands.
  • the user can release all the keys without being forced to keep the "destination" key pressed, namely the key of the clone remote control which will duplicate the control function carried out by the original remote control to be duplicated.
  • the preset number of times has been chosen equal to four in order to avoid the accidentally start and enabling of the copy procedure.
  • Other keys combinations are used in order to enable more specific copy procedures, which will be described later.
  • the LED 14 of the remote control 1 starts flashing slowly.
  • the emitting end of an original remote control to be copied and the emitting end of the clone remote control of the present invention must be put near to each other and the desired key of the original remote control which is to be copied must be pressed.
  • the clone remote control searches the frequency of the original remote control for about thirty seconds, while the LED 14 flashes slowly.
  • the code of the original remote control is stored by means of a code writing method being described in the following; at this point, the LED 14 starts flashing quickly in order to show that the code has been learnt.
  • the remote control under consideration needs other information corresponding to a further pressing of the key of the original remote control or any other special key of the original remote control.
  • the LED will flash with a double flashing in order to signal the request for a further pressing.
  • variable code remote controls For few original variable code remote controls, the clone remote control is able to recognize the type of variable code, and for these remote controls, the remote control 1 will generate a similar code to be stored directly or with an automatic procedure in the memory 5 being associated to the receiver 6.
  • the variable codes generation occurs by means of proper algorithms being specific to each type of code. In all the other cases, it will be clone an identical copy of the original code.
  • the mode substantially occurs in three steps.
  • n duration measurements are carried out of the high-low and low-high transitions performed by the received radio signal; in a second step, those measurements are processed and in a third phase a sampling of the code is carried out.
  • duration measurements are performed of n high-low and low-high transitions of the received radio signal; in this way the minimum and maximum duration values of these transitions are obtained. For the maximum duration of the transitions, the corresponding level of the radio signal is also stored.
  • the second stage of processing it is obtained the length of the period of the radio signal corresponding to the duration of the shorter transmission element. Moreover, the duration and the level of the pause corresponding to the duration and level of the longest transition is obtained.
  • the radio signal is sampled at different time instants, starting half a period after a transition and then continuing after each full period until the next transition from which it will be counted again half a period and so on.
  • the remote control 1 is programmed to turn off if the code is of a fixed or variable type that does not allow the automatic storing.
  • the automatic storing procedure takes place if the code is of a variable type that allows the automatic storing.
  • the clone remote control 1 For the original variable code remote controls, the clone remote control 1 generates a code similar to the original, which is stored in the memory 5. This code must be stored also in the memory of the receiver of the controlled electrical device.
  • the storing procedure can automatically force the storing of the new code on the receiver, by generating for that purpose alternating old and new codes being transmitted in a sequence, called storing sequence, which is shown by way of example in the flowchart of figure 5 .
  • the alternating old and new codes allow the receiver to understand that the sequence of received signals does not represent an ordinary activation command, but a sequence for programming and storing the new alternate variable code similar to the cloned code.
  • the storing sequence is activated by keeping the key 10 of the remote control under consideration pressed for eight seconds.
  • the LED starts to flash quickly and the storing sequence is transmitted, after which the remote control turns off.
  • variable code is stored also on the receiver of the controlled device.
  • the new generation remote controls use variable codes and almost all the remote control manufacturers use "Rolling-codes", which instead of replicating the same code each time the control key is pressed, emit a totally different one generated by an algorithm being preset on both the transmitter and the respective receiver.
  • the clone remote control of the present invention includes a series of algorithms reproducing the storing sequences of the cloned variable codes for almost all the remote control manufacturers. Those sequences are automatically timed and executed each time a duplication is carried out of an original remote control using variable codes during transmission.
  • the clone remote control 1 continuously sends information being useful for its identification, and consequent use, based on the storing sequences contained in its memory and corresponding to almost all the remote control manufacturers.
