KR970032223A - Remote controller with menu screen download - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention relates to a remote controller having a menu screen download function. When the menu key provided on the keypad of the remote controller is increased, the encoder is encoded into an infrared signal corresponding to the corresponding infrared signal through an encoder, and then transmitted through a light emitting unit to be received by the light receiving unit of the device block. The menu screen corresponding to the menu key currently set from the memory in the device block is drawn out, encoded into an infrared signal corresponding thereto, then sent to the remote controller through the light emitting unit, decoded by a decoder in the remote controller and then displayed on the LCD. Then, when the user presses the control key, the function of the device is performed based on the control signal of the microcomputer in the device block, and the level of the menu displayed on the LCD in the remote controller is adjusted. At this time, when a predetermined time elapses while the key signal is not provided from the keypad, the power supplied to the LCD from the battery is cut off based on the switching signal for power off from the timer, so that the menu screen of the device is provided on the remote controller. Since it is displayed on the LCD, it is possible to properly watch the image displayed by the receiver of the device and at the same time facilitate the user's convenience.
