Abstract

The invention relates to a novel method of transferring information to a remote control. The inventive method can be used to divide a remote control transmission signal into three parts, namely the protocol (signal waveform), data relating to keys (information about each key) and the number of the key or function. By dividing a signal into said three parts, the signal can be stored in an external memory unit. Moreover, by means of a momentary or permanent contact between the remote control and the external memory unit, the information necessary to generate a remote control transmission signal can be transferred. According to the invention, a novel and very simple method of updating a remote control is provided thanks to the simplification and speed of the programming.

Description

"Programación de Señales de Transmisión y Nombres de Funciones mediante una Memoria Externa a un Control Remoto""Programming Transmission Signals and Function Names through External Memory to a Remote Control"
ANTECEDENTES Existen actualmente dos tipos de controles remotos, para un solo equipo electrónico y para varios equipos electrónicos, estos últimos pueden programarse mediante códigos desde el teclado o mediante un proceso de lectura de señal para generar un duplicado, existen varios inconvenientes importantes, uno es el número limitado de modelos de controles remotos incluidos en los controles remotos universales y así como también la falta de información sobre la ubicación de las funciones del control remoto a reemplazar dentro de un control remoto universal. Esto genera que un control remoto universal de reemplazo se haga obsoleto cuando se diseñe un nuevo control remoto para equipo electrónico antes de la fecha de fabricación del control remoto universal . Por otra parte, la dificultad para programar un control remoto universal limita su uso, ya que se requiere un tabla de códigos y un procedimiento paso a paso para poder reemplazar a un control remoto.BACKGROUND There are currently two types of remote controls, for a single electronic device and for several electronic devices, the latter can be programmed using codes from the keypad or through a signal reading process to generate a duplicate, there are several important drawbacks, one is the Limited number of remote control models included in the universal remote controls and also the lack of information on the location of the functions of the remote control to be replaced within a universal remote control. This results in a replacement universal remote control becoming obsolete when a new remote control is designed for electronic equipment before the date of manufacture of the universal remote control. On the other hand, the difficulty in programming a universal remote control limits its use, since a code table and a step-by-step procedure are required to replace a remote control.
DESCRIPCIÓNDESCRIPTION
La invención aquí presentada consiste en un proceso de transferencia de información para programar controles remotos mediante una memoria externa. La memoria externa contiene el protocolo de la señal (forma de onda de la señal), los datos de cada tecla y los nombres de cada tecla o función, los cuales se pueden transferir a través de un contacto momentáneo ente el receptáculo de nuevo control remoto y la memoria externa. Este nuevo proceso soluciona dos inconvenientes relevantes, el primero, el número limitado de modelos de controles remotos incluidos en los controles remotos universales existentes y el segundo, la forma de programación. Lo anterior permite tener capacidad de manejar varios equipos electrónicos con nuevo control remoto, colocando los datos de controles remotos de los equipos electrónicos originales en memorias externas. La figura 1, es un diagrama a bloques de sistema y consta de un microcontrolador (b), el cual tiene la posibilidad de leer tanto la memoria interna (c) y externa (f), procesar la información; emitir la señal mediante el diodo emisor de luz infrarroja (a) y desplegar el nombre el desplegador de caracteres (d) de la tecla seleccionada a través del teclado (e). La figura 2, muestra un diagrama a bloques de la estructura de la memoria externa, en esta podemos dividir la información de un control remoto en tres partes, los datos de códigos de transmisión (a), los datos de señal de transmisión (b) y los nombres de las funciones (c). Realizando esta división podemos aislar la información y recuperarla a través de la lectura de una memoria externa. The invention presented here consists of a process of transferring information to program remote controls by means of an external memory. External memory contains the signal protocol (signal waveform), the data of each key and the names of each key or function, which can be transferred through a momentary contact between the new remote control receptacle and external memory. This new process solves two relevant drawbacks, the first, the limited number of remote control models included in the existing universal remote controls and the second, the way of programming. This allows the ability to handle several electronic devices with a new remote control, placing the remote control data of the original electronic devices in external memories. Figure 1 is a block diagram of the system and consists of a microcontroller (b), which has the ability to read both internal (c) and external (f) memory, process the information; emit the signal using the infrared light emitting diode (a) and display the name of the character display (d) of the selected key through the keyboard (e). Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the structure of the external memory, in this we can divide the information of a remote control into three parts, the transmission code data (a), the transmission signal data (b) and the names of the functions (c). Performing this division we can isolate the information and retrieve it through the reading of an external memory.
