Definitions

  • Remote controller pre-programmed to operate a number of apparatuses.
  • the present invention refers to the field of the remote controllers for electronic and electromechanical apparatuses, such as television sets, video recorders, satellite receivers and the like, and particularly concerns a remote controller for such apparatuses, which has been pre-programmed at the factory to operate a number of such apparatuses.
  • Remote controllers are known, which are pre ⁇ programmed to act on a number of apparatuses of the described kind: generally, they use an automatic or semi-automatic search device, in order to select the apparatus which to act on.
  • such an automatic or semi ⁇ automatic search device is started by inserting a code by means of keys or a sequence of keys.
  • the search begins after the release of a particular key, it is made to advance among the various kind of available apparatuses, by pressing one or more keys and the storing of the type of apparatus to control is achieved by pressing a particular key or combination of keys, only after the user has verified the correct response to a given control signal or a given number of control signals.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a pre-programmed remote - 2 - controller of simplified use by the user.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a pre-programmed remote controller of simple and cheap construction, suitable for a mass production.
  • a pre ⁇ programmed remote controller in which control codes for a number of apparatuses are memorised and in which a search is carried out among the memorised codes to find out the codes related to a particular model of apparatus on which it is desired to act, is characterised in that it comprises means for the automatic memorisation of the selected model of apparatus, acting before the end of the search cycle.
  • the main advantage which is achieved with the pre-programmed remote controller according to the present invention consists in a notable simplification in the use of the remote controller itself by the user, caused by the fact that the operation of memorisation of the selected apparatus model is carried out in an automatic way, saving the user a further manual operation.
  • Figure 1 is a block diagram and shows the electronic circuit of a remote controller according to the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a flowchart which may be used to explain the operation of the remote controller of figure 1.
  • the electronic circuit of the present remote controller includes a microprocessor 10, which controls a set 12 of light emitting diodes (LED) through an interface device driver 14 for the light emitting diodes.
  • the microprocessor 10 in its operation, communicates with a memory 16, storing instructions and data, and receives commands by the user through- a keypad 18, including the keys for the selection and the setting of the apparatuses which to act on.
  • the LED's have been replaced by a display device incorporating dot matrix liquid crystals or by another similar device.
  • the microprocessor 10 performs a cyclic search among all the memorised apparatus models: for each selected model it sends n times a specific control code, related to the selected model. Then it resets a timer and waits for the duration of the timer that the user releases the search key, having found that the apparatus answers the control code in the desired way.
  • the search key is released, the selected model is memorised and the search ends: by way of this operation of memorisation, when the search is restarted again, it automatically recovers from the model immediately following the selected model, which lies in memory, and not from the first model of the table of the apparatuses, as it happened previously.
  • the search is restarted, increasing the counter that points to the selected model and repeating n times the forwarding of the specific control code related to the selected model.

Abstract

Télécommande préprogrammée dans laquelle les codes de commande pour plusieurs appareils sont mémorisés, et dans laquelle une recherche s'effectue parmi les codes mémorisés en vue de trouver les codes associés à un appareil de type particulier sur lequel on souhaite intervenir. Ladite télécommande préprogrammée est caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte un dispositif de mémorisation automatique du modèle d'appareil choisi, intervenant avant la fin du cycle de recherche.
