Abstract

The system has a receiver which is fitted to the TV remote control and which emits an audible bleep when it receives a signal from a transmitter. The transmitter and receiver are fixed by sticky pads to the TV set and to the remote control respectively. The transmitter signal has a range of about 15 meters and is able to penetrate soft furnishings and solid objects. The receiver is powered by two hearing aid type batteries and produces a sound for 5 to 10 seconds.

Description

T.V. REMOTE CONTROL SEEKER a) T.V. Remote Control buzzer/bleeDer fixed to T.V. remote control.
b) To overcome the problem in every household of misplaced T.V. remote control/s.
c) The remote control seeker is made up of 2 components (Figure 1) being the transmitter and (figure 2) being the receiver.
d) The transmitter will be fitted by means of a sticky pad to the T.V. The receiver to be fitted by the same means to the T.V. remote control. When the transmitter is operated the receiver will give off a bleep and thus revealing its' whereabouts.
e) The transmitter will transmit a signal to the receiver which will operate a switch inside the receiver.
f) The receiver will be made up of 2 hearing aid type batteries and remote control switch, speaker and bleeper.
The signal must be able to penetrate soft furnishings and solid objects and will have a range of about 15 metres.
The signal must sound for 5 to 10 seconds to enable the user to locate the remote controls' whereabouts more easily.
