Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the directivity, the operability and the design by providing an operation section, a case cover covering the operation section in an open/ close way to a case accommodating a transmission reception circuit and an antenna to the case cover. CONSTITUTION:A case cover 6 is formed hollow, and an antenna 5 is contained in this cavity. When the controller is not in use and the case cover 6 is closed, the operation section 4 is hidden behind the case cover 6 and the operation is disabled, but when the user opens the case cover in use, the operation section 4 appears and the antenna 5 contained in the inside is arranged to a position apart from the transmission reception circuit 1 and the performance of transmission reception is not lost. Thus, high transmission reception performance is obtained in use and mis-operation is prevented not in use, then the remote controller is realized with safety and excellent designability.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, conventional remote controllers using infrared rays have strong directivity, so when using them, they must be operated by pointing toward the operated device, which is very troublesome. On the other hand, technology using wireless technology does not have these inconveniences, but in order to obtain transmitting and receiving performance, it is necessary to install an antenna, which not only gets in the way during operation, but also has disadvantages during design. As for the parts, if they were exposed like in conventional ones, there were many cases where people accidentally touched them when moving, etc., resulting in erroneous operation of the operated equipment.
