If not, an external display 2.9 is installed. Figure 3 is a circuit diagram showing each switch 1, 2, matrix-shaped keys, liquid crystal display element 20, and control LS 11.
6 and a transmission path 17.

The transmitting circuit 17 consists of a resistor, a capacitor, a crystal total oscillator, a transistor, an AND element 1, and an infrared light emitting diode, and is configured to convert it into a code and transmit it by infrared light. The input operation of the program 5 will be explained based on the display states of the liquid crystal display element 20 shown in FIGS. 11 to 11.

　　　1. .

When the power is turned on, as shown in Fig. 4, "12:OOJ" is displayed on the current time display 21, "1" is displayed on the memory number display 22, and the timer is turned on.
Displays 27, 28, and 29 are lit when the time, channel, and timer OFF time have not all been input.

Next, set the current time, e.g. 09:30J, to the mode switch WRITE side, and turn the timer setting switch 2 to CL.
Flip it to the OCK side and input using the number keys. continue,
When the timer setting switch 2 is turned to the TIMER side, the clock starts counting from 00 seconds of the relevant time, and the timer ON time setting is stored in the memory area of memory No. 1, as shown in Figure 5. If the ON time of the timer is not inputted, the outside display 27 will blink.

Therefore, if the ON time of the timer, for example, "19:OOJ" is inputted using the numeric key, as shown in FIG. If you enter the channel, for example "12", it will be tied as shown in Figure 7 underwater)
When the QP'F time of the timer is not within the limit, the display 29 flashes, and the timer's 0F-F time, e.g. j19
:30J, the ON time of the timer will be displayed blinking as shown in FIG. 8, and the timer will be in a state where it can be changed.

If it is desired to skip the operations in the middle of the above operations, the input can be skipped by pressing the left and right skip keys 4 and 5, respectively. Then, "0" is displayed on the display section where nothing has been input.

Further, when changing the memory number, by pressing the memory number update key, the memory number changes by increasing by 1 each time the key is pressed.

Then, in the state shown in FIG. 8, when the mode switch is turned to the remote control/roll side, the blinking of the display section is stopped and all data in the memory is displayed, as shown in FIG. Here, if you select and press, for example, "Channel No. 7" with the channel key 3 in the remote control mode, the display as shown in FIG. 10 will change for a predetermined period of time, for example, 1 second after the button is pressed and released.

At this time, a predetermined code is output continuously while the key is pressed. However, if the key is kept pressed, the code output will stop after a predetermined period of time, for example, 351 seconds, and if the key is released and the key is pressed again, the code will not be output again.

However, since the information input and stored in the memory is saved as is, the 0N-
The timer operates by pressing the OFF key 15.
The timer is set as shown in Figure 11' □
The display 23 lights up when it is displayed. .

If you input many programs and want to execute them, you can start the timer after inputting them to all memories.

Furthermore, if the current time is not set, the timer starts counting from time r12:OOJ. When the clear key is pressed while inputting a program, the flashing portion of the liquid crystal display element 20 is erased (1), and when the all clear key is pressed, all contents stored in the memory are erased.

Furthermore, when inputting the timer ON' time and 110FF time into the memory, impossible times, such as [67:E!
If you input 9J, all the input data will be invalidated and you will have to input it again. Also, if you input the timer ON time and OFF time as the same time, only the OFF time will be invalidated. It becomes valid and the power does not turn on.

Next, I will explain and explain the operation when the timer is set. 6.- Among the data stored in the memory, any ON setting time matches the current time and the corresponding channel is set. is output, the code to turn on the power (Power:ON) is output, and then the code corresponding to the set channel is output (the first
(See Figure 2). Here, if no channel is set, no code will be output. Also, at this time, if two or more memories have the same ON setting time (or OFF setting time) stored, a code is output based on the data in one of the memories. If the OFF setting time of one memory and the ON setting time of a different memory match the current time, a Power-ON code is output, followed by a channel code. If the OFF setting time of any of the memories matches the current time and does not match the ON setting time of any of the memories, the power is turned off.

(see Figure 13).

After outputting the code, the liquid crystal display element 20 displays the contents of the memory corresponding to the output code. However, Power-OFF
After outputting the code, the liquid crystal display element 20 turns off the display of the setting contents.

Also, when any key on the remote control is pressed, if the timer's ON or OFF setting time matches the current time, the remote control will not immediately output the code stored in the memory. After the control key is released, it outputs the code of the data stored in memory.

The attached table shows specific examples of timer setting times and output codes.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, the remote control device of the present invention has the following effects:
It can be attached to and detached from the main body of the device, and by inputting a program,
It functions as a timer and allows you to set and memorize the time and channel to turn on and off the power, so if you input the program you want to watch in advance, the power will automatically turn off when the time comes. Since the TV is turned on and the channel is selected, there is no need to go to the TV, turn it on, or change channels. play.
