1 is a block diagram of a computer system controlled by a wireless remote controller according to the present invention.

As shown in the figure, a computer system controlled by a wireless remote controller according to the present invention includes a computer processing unit 400, a display unit 100 connected to the main body 400 for displaying information, and Vending machine 200 connected to the main body 400 to receive a user's command, a peripheral device 300 connected to the main body 400, a detector for detecting a wireless signal and transmitting an electrical signal to the main body 400 500, a wireless remote controller 600 for generating and transmitting a radio signal to the detector, and a power supply unit (not shown) for supplying power to each element.

Here, the main body 400 may include a central processing unit (CPU) 402 for controlling the entire computer system, and a peripheral device controller 403 for connecting the peripheral device 300 and the CPU 402 to each other. And a signal processor 401 for receiving and processing an electric signal transmitted from the detector 500 and for processing a signal to and from the CPU 402.

The peripheral device 300 includes devices that can be connected to and controlled by the main body, such as a mouse, a speaker, a printer, a modem, a scanner, a PC camera, and the like.

In addition, the wireless remote controller 600, as shown in Figure 2, the signal generator 610 for generating a radio signal, the power button 630 for booting the main body 400, and the display unit A direction control button 620 for adjusting the position of the displayed cursor, a peripheral device activation button 670 for activating the peripheral devices, an active control button 650 for controlling the degree of activation of the activated peripheral device, and the display An on-screen display (OSD) button 640 for adjusting the unit and a confirmation button 660 for executing a command corresponding to the cursor displayed on the display unit.

Here, the signal generator 610 includes a PCB substrate including an infrared light emitting diode capable of generating infrared rays and circuit elements for operating an infrared light emitting diode.

The operating method of the computer system according to the present invention configured as described above, together with the functions of the buttons installed in the wireless remote control device, will be described.

1) When booting or shutting down the computer:

When the power button 630 of the wireless remote control device is pressed, a preset power operation signal is output from the signal generator 610. Then, the detector 500 inputs the power operation signal to activate a computer BIOS program to start booting. The computer operating system, eg, Windows, is then run. Here, when the user's ID window appears to log on before the window is executed, after moving the cursor to the 'OK' control button using the direction control button 620, the confirmation button 660 of the wireless remote controller is When pressed, you are logged on.

On the contrary, when the computer is shut down, when the power button 630 is pressed in the logon state, a window for confirming the shutdown appears, and the direction control button 620 is adjusted to move the cursor to the confirmation control box of the window. Pressing the OK button 660 turns off the computer.

2) When playing media:

When the media active button 670 is pressed in the logged on state, a media program basically operated in Windows is executed to play, for example, media stored in a hard disk or installed in a CD-ROM drive. In addition, when the speaker of the peripheral device is powered on, when the active control button 640 is adjusted, the volume of the sound of the media that is played and output is adjusted.

Conversely, to end the media program, press the media active button 670. Then, a window for confirming termination is displayed, the direction control button 620 is adjusted to move the cursor to the 'confirmation' control box of the window, and the media program is terminated by pressing the confirmation button 660.

3) When adjusting the monitor environment:

When the computer is turned on, pressing the OSD button 640 activates the configuration window for the predetermined OSD on the display. Then press the direction control button 620 to position the setting bar in the corresponding environmental parameters and press the confirmation button 660. The conditions of the selected environmental factor are then adjusted by pressing the active adjustment button 650.

Then, if the OSD button 640 is pressed again, it returns to the previous OSD configuration window from the currently selected environment factor adjustment state, and when the OSD button 640 is pressed again, the OSD configuration window disappears from the display unit.

The infrared signal generated from the wireless remote controller is allocated to the function keys of the wireless remote controller and a head portion and a data portion having a predetermined time and frequency are assigned, and the corresponding keys are output by pressing the corresponding keys.

The detector is implemented by a light emitting diode capable of detecting the infrared light.

On the other hand, the signal generated from the wireless remote controller is transmitted to the signal processing device installed in the main body via the detector. When a signal corresponding to a function key of the wireless remote controller is input, the signal processing device outputs a command signal to a computer BIOS program and a Windows program to perform an operation corresponding to the function.

Therefore, the user can not only control the booting of the computer or playing the media with the wireless remote controller, but also set the environment of the monitor.

Although an embodiment of the present invention uses an infrared signal, a high frequency signal generator capable of generating a high frequency signal and a detector capable of receiving the high frequency signal may be used.

The computer system controlled by the wireless remote controller according to the present invention described above does not restrict the user by controlling the wireless remote controller without controlling the switches and peripheral devices directly connected to the computer.
