Description

1335151 IX. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a remote controller, and more particularly to a remote control for a button that has different key values and different key values. [Prior Art] When purchasing home appliances that require remote control functions, a dedicated remote control is generally attached. In fact, the most commonly used button functions and numbers are fixed, and the less used buttons are only available in certain It will be used at a specific time. This also means that as the remote control function of the home appliance increases, the result when all functions are concentrated on one remote controller is: 丨 the size of the button does not change, the volume of the remote controller becomes larger; 2. the volume of the remote controller is not The keys, buttons, and descriptions become smaller, and the result is that the user does not see and find the desired buttons when operating the remote control. Referring to Fig. 1, a conventional remote controller 9 includes a control chip 90, an infrared ray emitting element 91, a frequency generator 92, a button circuit 94, and a plurality of buttons 941. When the user presses one of the buttons 941 provided on the button circuit 94, since the control wafer 90 has built-in different key values corresponding to different (χ, γ) positions, the control chip 90 is based on the button 941 (Χ, The position is decoded to the key value to be transmitted, and the key value is modulated into a wireless carrier signal by the frequency of the frequency generator 92, and then transmitted to the home appliance by the infrared emitting element 91 to execute the home appliance control function corresponding to the button 941. It can be seen from the foregoing that the current remote controller 9 is built into the control chip 9A with a different key value corresponding to different (Χ, γ) positions, and the control crystal 5 1335151 * M 9G can no longer be written. The data, so the remote control 9 can not have new control functions. In order to have a new control function for the remote control, some remote controls are currently used - electronically erasable stylized read-only memory (eepr〇m), which is a method of replacing the electronically-clearable program with a signal from the scanning appliance. ' & read-only memory content, · Another way is to download a new network ^ ^ 胄 people remote control 11 to achieve new features. However, the method of adding new features is still technically 'if there is no operating instructions or the computer and network and the corresponding equipment will be difficult to achieve. However, even if the information of the remote controller can be updated, the position of the # key cannot be easily changed, so there is a remote control using a touch-type LCD screen on the market, or a remote control software using a personal digital assistant (PDA). Stylized button remote control, using this type of remote control, you can set the virtual button through the computer (not a physical button, but draw an area on the touch-screen LCD screen to represent a physical button) to solve the button arrangement • The problem. However, the disadvantage of using a touch-type LCD screen is that it is relatively expensive and easily damaged. In view of the evolution of various functions of home appliances, future home TVs are bound to have more functions. For TV products, it is possible to integrate Media Gateway, Time shifting and video (PVR). , Personal Video Recorder) and other functions. In the past, these functions can only be implemented on a personal computer, but the input interface (keyboard, slip) of the personal computer is different from the input interface (remote control) of the TV, so that when using these new functions, the buttons on the remote control must be Added to respond to these 6 1335151 new features. [Invention] When the traditional remote controller is operated, the key value corresponding to the position of the button can be decoded after the button is pressed, that is, the key value is determined by the position of the button, instead of the button. It is decided by itself. Therefore, the idea of the present invention is that the button itself has a key value, and the remote control module - without decoding, only needs to convert the key value when the button is touched - the wireless transmission g signal is transmitted to the home appliance. . In this way, the buttons on the remote control can be assembled and disassembled in their preferred position according to the user's preference to design a customized remote control, and whenever new functions or functions of other home appliances are integrated On the remote control, you only need to add a new button with the corresponding function key value on the remote control. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a remote control having modularized keys for identifying different key values. • Another object of the present invention is to provide a remote control module that can be modularly assembled with buttons. The remote control module of the button module comprises a circuit board, a remote control module, a plurality of modular buttons and an assembly component; the remote control module is disposed on the circuit board for transmitting a wireless transmission signal. Each of the modular buttons has a package body and an identification unit; the identification unit is disposed in the package body, and is configured to be pressed to the package body and then transmitted to the remote control module corresponding to different key values of the modularized buttons; The assembly member is positioned on the circuit board for each of the modular buttons. 7 When each of the modular buttons is touched, the remote control module obtains its key value from the identification unit of each of the modular buttons and processes it as the wireless transmission signal. Since each modular button of the present invention can obtain different key values for the remote control module, the remote control module is only responsible for processing the key value as a wireless transmission signal, so each modular button can be installed with the user's preference. The different positions on the board do not change the definition of the key value, making it easier for the user to operate the remote control and enjoy the fun of DIY. The above and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the drawings. Before the present invention is described in detail, it is noted that in the following description, similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals. Referring to FIG. 2, in a first preferred embodiment of the remote control module of the present invention, the remote controller 1 includes a circuit board 1 , a remote control module u , and an analog/digital converter 13 'multiple modularization Button 15 and an assembly member 16. The circuit board ίο is provided with a remote control module u, an analog/digital converter, and a plurality of areas planned to have a plurality of modularized keys 15 each having two electrical connections to the analog/digital converter 13 One contact i4i (described later). The remote control module 11 is disposed on the circuit board 10, and includes a component for controlling the infrared ray emitting component of the chip, the frequency generator, and the like, and the description is: ..., the Chinese% paper, the Dan cooperates... the line transmitting component, the frequency production (4) Sending its __ wireless transmission signal, since this is a prior art, the principle will not be described in detail herein. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 'each modularized button 15 has a package i5i and an identification unit 152 mounted in the package 151; in the preferred embodiment, the 'identification unit 152 is a resistor, and each- The resistors of the modular button 15 have different resistance values; each of the bottom φ 15 of the package 豸 151 is formed with two second contacts 153 electrically connected to the identification unit 152, and the second connections A point 153 is disposed at a bottom surface 15 of each of the packages 151 corresponding to a position of the first contact 141. The assembly member 16 includes an upper assembly 161 and a lower assembly 162. The upper assembly 16 and the lower assembly 162 are for positioning the modular buttons 15 on the circuit board 1G, and the upper assembly 161 can frame the package. The lower assembly member 162 is elastic (four), so that each of the modular reduction buttons can be pressed in a first position when the button is not pressed, and in a second position, in the first position, each modular button 15 The second contact 153 is not electrically connected to the first contact 141 of the circuit board 1 , and in the second position, the second contact 153 of each modular button b is connected to the first interface of the circuit board 1 Point 141 is electrically connected. The analog/digital converter 13 has two pins 131 and 132 respectively coupled to the two first contacts 141 ′ of the respective regions and the pin 131 outputs a predetermined voltage and the pin 132 does not output a voltage; The analog button 15 is pressed and the second contact 153 of the modular button 15 is electrically connected to the first contact 141 of the circuit board in the first position - so that the analog/digital converter 13 can be from the first - The contact 141 obtains a voltage signal passing through the identification unit 152 (resistor), that is, 'via a suitable design, different voltage signals are generated by different resistance values'. The analog/digital converter 13 can (4) measure the voltage signals of each region. The method T335151 converts the voltage signal into a key value corresponding to the modular button 15 to the remote control module 11, and then the remote control module 11 is responsible for transmitting. Taking a modular button representing the "power supply" as an example, it is assumed that the representative key value is 0x12345678. Since the resistance values of the different identification units 152 are different, the voltage values are different, and the modularized keys 15 are appropriately configured. The voltage value distribution generated after being touched can cause the analog/digital converter 13 to process and emit the key value of 0χ12345678 after receiving the voltage value generated by the modular button representing the “power source”. The wireless transmission signal 102' receives the key value of 〇χΐ2345678 by the receiving end (such as a television). When the receiving end receives the key value, the action of "pressing the power button" is executed: In the state, it will enter a standby state, and in a standby state, it will enter a power-on state. It should be noted that the octet analog/digital converter 13 can be converted from G~28·1 'to determine a total of 256 key values, so the accuracy of the analog/digital converter 13 (such as sixteen bits) The element can generate 05536 values) and determines the number of key values it can produce.

Similarly, reference may be made to the foregoing description, and no further description is made here. 10 1335151 Referring to FIG. 4 'The preferred embodiment of the preferred embodiment of the present invention is different from the first preferred embodiment of the present invention. The female multiplexer 23' has a plurality of modules on the top surface of the circuit board 2 Each of the areas of the button 25 is arranged with one: a third contact point 243 of the same number of slaves (four in the preferred embodiment), and two non-phased configurations for each of the beta mother areas. The fifth connection of the sexual connection 245 〇 In addition, ^ sound start; 丨, . In the example of the application, the multiplexer 23 can convert 24 kinds of key values, which are coupled to the second guaranty Le-contact 243, between the fifth contact 245 and the remote control module 21.

Wherein the four third contacts 243 of each zone are 231 feet of 231 by the circuit breakers on the circuit board; one of the two fifth contacts 245 of each zone is a circuit board. The conductive path on the 2 连接 is connected to the positive (V+) pin of the multiplexer 23, and the other - the fifth contact (4) is connected to a ground (GND) pin of the multiplexer 23.

Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6(4) to FIG. 6(1), in the preferred embodiment, the identification unit of each modular button 25 is provided on the bottom surface 25 of each modular button 25, and the number and arrangement are different. The contact 254, wherein η is a non-negative integer, the preferred embodiment is η=0~4, and each fourth contact 254 is set corresponding to one of the positions of the third contact 243. 6(a) to 6(i), the bottom surface 250 of each modular button 25 further corresponds to each fifth contact 245 to provide a sixth contact 256 electrically connected to each other, which is also associated with η on the button. The fourth contacts 254 are electrically connected; therefore, each of the modular buttons 25 shares (2+n) contact points (n=〇~4 in this embodiment) corresponding to each area of the circuit board 20. The dotted circle in the figure indicates that the fourth contact 254 is not set at this point, and the solid circle indicates that there is a fourth contact 254 » 11 1335151 See Figure 4' when any of the modular buttons 25 are touched During the pressing, the sixth contact 256 electrically connected to each other through the modularized button 25 is electrically connected to the two fifth contacts 245, so that the multiplexer 23 detects the positive electrode (V+) and Since the ground (GND) is turned on, the decoding operation is started, and the non-conducting/conducting state of the third contacts 243 in the region corresponding to the touch-sensitive modularized button 25 is read, and converted to 〇 (non-conducting) ) or 丨 (conduct), and finally integrate it into a remote control module 21 for a key value. • In the normal state, the multiplexer 23 outputs a current from one of the positive (V+) pins to one of the contacts 245 of each area, and the other contact 245 of each area is connected to the ground (GND) pin. When a button 25 is pressed, the corresponding second contact 243 is electrically connected to the fourth contact 254, and the fifth contact 245 is electrically connected to the sixth contact 256; The current of 245 is electrically connected to the contact 243 on the circuit board 20 via the contact 256 and the contact 254 of the button, thereby forming an electrically conductive loop, so that the multiplexer 23 detects that the contact 243 is turned on.

The position of the point has a contact 254' and no contact is set at the position of the second control point (not shown by a dotted circle in Fig. 4). Therefore, the control point does not form a current when the button 25 is pressed. Turning on, so only the first, third, and fourth control points have conduction' and the signal multi-operation state 23 is determined by binary (〇 is non-conducting, 1 is conducting) is 1011, which is also the decimal 11, in the multiplexer 23 will output the key value corresponding to u 12 (1) 5151 No. 95148477 application replacement page (revision date: September 09) Take Figure 6 (4) as an example, · represents the number of 〇 〇 The button is not provided with any fourth contact 254' at the bottom when the modular button 25 is pressed. 'Because the four third contacts 243 of the circuit board 2G do not touch any of the fourth contacts 254' The carry position is expressed as 〇_, and the homeworker 23 outputs a key value corresponding to 0 to the remote control module 21. Taking FIG. 6(b) to FIG. 6(1) as an example, the arrangement of the fourth contact 254 corresponds to 0001, 〇〇1〇, 001, 〇1〇〇, 〇1〇1, 〇11〇, 〇(1), and

1〇〇〇 and other non-conducting/conducting states respectively represent the binary arrangement of numbers i to 8, so that the 24 combinations can be used to represent the various numbers representing 0~15. The key value corresponding to the button 25, and the pin 231 of the multiplexer 23 is matched with the number of the third contacts 243 in each area (4 in this embodiment) to generate a predetermined number (24 in this embodiment).
