Abstract: In a remote battery operated keyboard entry device coupled to a microcomputer (1) through an infra-red link, the drive transistor (10, 17) for an infra-red LED (5) is coupled to receive serial pulses representing keystrokes through a network including a visible LED (14). The arrangement is such that for each input pulse, the visible LED is turned on to provide a visible transmission indication and also an input reference potential to determine the amplitude of the current drive of the transistor through the infra-red LED to guard against data loss caused by battery droop.

Abstract: A battery powered keyboard entry device (1) includes an infra- red generator for coupling the device to a processor (2) which includes an infrared receiver. Each input binary signal (A) is transmitted as a few (e.g. two or three) short infra-red pulses (D) indicating the leading edge of the binary signal. In the receiver, the receiving groups of pulses, after detection and amplification, are stretched by a single-shot circuit (22) to produce binary signals of substantially the same length as the original binary signals. As each transmission is substantially shorter than each binary signal, power consumption in the keyboard entry device is substantially reduced as compared with a system in which the infra-red pulses for each input signal extend over the input signal length.

Abstract: A battery powered keyboard entry device (1) includes an infra-red generator (14,15) for coupling the device to a processor (2) which includes an infra-red receiver (20). Each input binary signal is transmitted as a few (e.g. two or three) short infra-red pulses indicating the leading edge of the binary signal. In the receiver, the received groups of pulses, after detection and amplification, are stretched by a single-shot circuit (22) to produce binary signals of substantially the same length as the original binary signals.
