  • the invention relates to a method for controlling at least one device and a remote control for this.
  • Such methods and remote controls are used, for example, in the control of TV and HiFi devices as well as light switches, motor-controlled roller shutters, etc.
  • special remote controls are supplied with each remote-controlled device, so that the number of remote controls required increases for one operator. This number is only slightly reduced by combination remote controls, which, for example, can control several devices from one manufacturer like all components of a hi-fi tower.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of creating a method and a remote control for carrying out such a method, which enables simplified and clear control of a plurality of remotely controllable devices.

  • an ID signal of the device or even the data of a user interface required for control is transmitted as information, various suitable methods such as infrared, ultrasound, Bluetooth and the like being suitable as transmission methods.
  • the data required for device control must already be present in the remote control for a corresponding user interface or be loaded into a memory device of the remote control. From this user interface data loaded in a storage device, which can of course also be supplemented externally, for example via an interface to a computer or another corresponding device, with data from other user interfaces, the corresponding user interface can be selected via a corresponding assignment to the received ID signal and on a display device, for example a liquid crystal display (LCD).
