Description

The product relates to consumer and industrial electronics and can be used for remote control of various electronic devices having a screen for displaying information.

A device for remote control of electronic devices is known, comprising a remote control, a repeater of control commands from the control panel to the end user electronic devices, a display for displaying menu items, a means for switching and entering a menu item, a transmitter (US Pat. No. 5,631,652 A, IPC H 04 B 3/00, publ. 1997). The disadvantages of this device are, the device is limited to using a fixed set of mechanical buttons on the body of the remote control.

A device for remote control of the company "Sony" "Remote Master 1000", designed for remote control of household electronic equipment (televisions, VCRs, music centers) of major manufacturing companies (advertising descriptions of "Sony" devices "Remote Master 110" and "Remote Master 1000 "). The device contains buttons located in the housing and a disk manipulator and has a programming function. The disadvantages of this device are the functional limitation of the above set of keys: the use of a fixed set of mechanical buttons on the body of the remote control; the formation of control information only in the form of commands for pressing, holding and pressing keys.

The closest technical solution to the claimed one is a remote control containing a receiver-transmitter, a microprocessor with a data bus, memory and operating system, a graphic display, a button, a key system, and a transmitter-receiver, a graphic display located in the case and connected to a power source , the memory and the button are connected functionally via a data bus with a microprocessor, into which a manipulator connected to a power source is inserted, and is connected to a microprocessor via a data bus. The key system is made in the form of a virtual keyboard, including many key positions with virtual symbols of controlled external devices displayed on the graphic display screen, the active position and position indicator of the virtual keyboard elements controlled by the manipulator, the button is configured to activate the key position marked by the position indicator of the virtual elements keyboards, and the virtual keyboard and active position are logical and positional

interconnected during the operation (patent of the Russian Federation 2127019 (Ryzhov V.A.), 08/01/1997). The technical result of the prototype is the creation of a remote control for household appliances and computer systems, which allows to improve user characteristics and ergonomic indicators, as well as expanding the scope of multifunctional remote control devices using a microprocessor, memory, graphic display built into a portable and stand-alone control panel, for simultaneous control of many units of external devices and work with various types and platforms of computers yuter systems. However, despite the fact that the prototype is universal for controlling various electronic devices, the disadvantage of this device is its functional complexity and cumbersome design.

The technical result of the proposed technical solution is to increase ergonomics by reducing the weight and dimensions of the remote control, increasing reliability, as well as ease of functional use.

The problem is solved due to the fact that in the remote control of electronic devices containing a housing, a power source, a manipulator, a signal transmitter and a microprocessor, a touch panel with integrated touch sensor and a pressure sensor is installed in the case, while the touch panel acts as a manipulator, a sensor touch acts as a position indicator, and the pressure sensor performs the function of activating the position.

Due to the fact that the remote control of electronic devices has a touch panel with built-in touch sensor and a pressure sensor, and the display functions of the control commands on the screen have the menu itself

controlled electronic device, the remote does not need any mechanical or virtual keys, and the remote has a minimum size and weight. The remote control of electronic devices has an ergonomic shape for placement, for example, in the palm of your hand, and control is carried out with one finger of the same hand. Due to the fact that in the remote control of electronic devices instead of mechanical control buttons a touch panel is used, the reliability of the remote control of electronic devices is increased. In addition, all device control modes are visually displayed on the OSD of the managed device, this increases the ease of functional use of the remote control of electronic devices.

The remote control of electronic devices is illustrated by drawings, where in Fig.1 shows a General view, in Fig.2 - the device and the remote control of electronic devices.

The remote control of electronic devices includes a housing 1 (FIG. 1), a power source (not shown in the figure), a touch panel 2, a signal transmitter 3 (FIG. 2), and a microprocessor 4. A touch panel 2 is installed in the housing (FIG. 1) ) with built-in touch sensor 5 and a pressure sensor 6. The signal transmitter 3 (FIG. 2) is capable of emitting a control signal 7, which is received by the receiver 8, located in a controlled electronic device 9, for example, a television having a control menu 10 displayed on its screen . The communication lines in (Figure 2) between the elements of the remote control of electronic devices are shown in the form of lines.

The device operates as follows. When you press the touch panel 2 of the remote control of electronic devices, a control signal is generated, which is processed by the microprocessor 4 and fed to the signal transmitter 3. The latter emits a control signal 7, which receives the receiver 8 of the electronic device 9, and after its conversion on the screen of the controlled electronic device 9 the control menu 10 of the functions of the electronic device 9 appears. The next time the user touches the touch panel 2, the touch sensor 5 is activated, and the position of the finger on the touch panel 2 is reflected in the form of an indicator of the active position of the control menu 10 displayed on the screen of the managed electronic device 9. The active position of the control menu 10 is activated by pressing the touch panel 2, the touch sensor 6 is triggered, and the signal is processed by the microprocessor 4 is transmitted to the signal transmitter 3 of the remote control of electronic devices and the form of the emitted control signal 7 is transmitted to the receiver 8 of the controlled electronic device TWA 9, where it activates the previously selected control menu item 10.
