FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a touch panel unit in the remote controller, FIG. 5 is a front view of a touch panel unit showing a direction input mode and a number or symbol input mode. FIG. 5 is a conceptual view illustrating a velocity according to a pressure in a direction input mode.

 1 to 3, the smart remote controller including the pressure sensing touch panel unit according to the present invention includes a housing unit 10 constituting an external appearance of a remote controller, a switch unit 20 disposed on the front surface of the housing unit 10 And a signal transmitting unit 30 installed in the housing unit 10 and transmitting a control signal to the control target device. The touch panel unit 50 is installed in the housing unit 10, The touch panel unit 50 includes a pressure sensor unit 56 for sensing pressure transmitted from a remote control user, a circuit board unit 52 for receiving a signal from the pressure sensor unit 56, A touch contact portion 58 disposed in front of the sensing sensor portion 56 to receive an input of a remote control user and an illumination portion 54 for irradiating light to the touch contact portion 58.

The housing part 10 constitutes an external appearance of the remote controller according to the present invention, and typically includes a battery, a circuit board, and the like, which are formed of a synthetic resin material and are required for operation of the remote controller.

Switches for inputting various control signals to the digital media device to be controlled are disposed on the front surface of the housing part 10. [

For example, the housing unit 10 may be provided with a volume control switch for controlling the volume and a channel control switch for controlling the channel.

A signal transmitting unit 30 for transmitting a control signal to the digital media devices to be controlled is disposed in front of the housing unit 10 so that the switch unit 20 or the touch panel unit 50 ) Of the control signal.

The signal input through the switch unit 20 or the touch panel unit 50 is modulated into an electrical signal and transmitted to the digital media device to be controlled in the form of infrared light or the like through the signal transmission unit 30.

Here, the signal transmitting unit 30 may include an infrared ray emitting LED bulb.

 Meanwhile, the housing unit 10 is provided with a touch panel unit 50 for receiving a touch input from a user.

The touch panel unit 50 is configured to receive a direction and a speed for moving a cursor displayed on a screen of a digital media device such as a smart TV.

The touch panel unit 50 includes a pressure sensor unit 56 for sensing a pressure transmitted from a finger of the user of the remote controller and a pressure sensor unit 56 for receiving an electrical signal from the pressure sensor unit 56, And a circuit board portion 52 for mounting the circuit board.

The pressure sensing sensor unit 56 is constituted by a plate-shaped pressure sensing sensor, and is configured to sense a pressure to be applied when the touching part 58 is pressed by the user's finger.
