Abstract
The "Video and TV Remote Control Locater" works in the way that should an individual Video and TV user miss place their Video or TV Remote Control with in 30 meters Radius or more by simply pressing the button on the Video or TV set which sends signals to the Remote Controls. The Signals can be in the form of Analogue, Digital (as demonstrated in the Drawings) or any other Method. When these signals are received by the Remote/s it will then activate the Buzzer or Beeper releasing a Low to very High Pitch Tone (The Buzzer or Beeper is located with in the Remote Control/s) hence the individual can follow the sound and find the Control/s and problem solved! Note: The Buzzer or Beeper that is located with in the Remote Control/s can also be designed as a Removable/Detachable Small Unit that can be used for other similar Items which can be easily miss placed.
