Abstract:
The controller has a signal source selection user input (101) to transmit a signal source selection signal for a display. A signal from a mode selection user input (104) generates a control signals to select a multifunction user input operation to control signal mapping. A signal from the multifunction user input (102, 103, 105) is transmitted in dependence on the selected multifunction user input operation. The multifunction user input has external input select button, direction button, cancel button and other buttons. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a video system (b) a method of controlling a universal remote control for remotely controlling an equipment having a display apparatus.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a CEC control apparatus capable of controlling CEC devices to be controlled of any vendor. SOLUTION: A CEC control apparatus includes: a control means 3 provided with a vendor code acquisition instruction means 31 that queries a CEC device for a vendor code when connected to a CEC device MA, and a storage means 32 capable of storing the reference location of CEC control information that has been stored in accordance with the acquired vendor code; a control information storage part 4 which, for each vendor, prestores CEC control information corresponding to a plurality of vendors; and a photoreceptor unit 2 having a received signal demodulation means 22 capable of receiving a signal from a remote control RC and demodulating the signal to acquire a CEC control signal. Based on the acquired vendor information, the control means 3 acquires from the control information storage part 4 control information corresponding to the vendor corresponding to the control signal transmitted from the remote control RC, and outputs the control information to the externally connected CEC device MA.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a programmable controller which is voice programmable and voice-activated, for activating an appliance controlled by an activation signal. SOLUTION: If a user verbally indicates the appliance is activated by a rolling code activation signal, the controller transmits a sequence of different rolling code activation signals until the user verbally indicates a successful rolling code transmission. The controller stores data representing the successful rolling code transmission. If the user verbally indicates the appliance is activated by a fixed code activation signal, the controller uses a fixed code word to transmit each of a sequence of different fixed code activation signals until the user verbally indicates a successful fixed code transmission. The controller then stores data representing the fixed code word and a fixed code scheme used to generate the successful fixed code transmission. In response to the user verbally identifying an activation input part, the controller transmits an activation signal based on stored data. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the control method of a universal remote controller with which the external input of a display device such as a television is selected by using the universal remote controller without changing the equipment mode of the universal remote controller several times. SOLUTION: The control method includes steps of: deciding whether the input button of the universal remote controller associated with the external input selection of the display device is selected in selecting the external input selection button of the universal remote controller; changing the equipment mode of the universal remote controller into a display device mode; and transmitting a key code corresponding to each inputted button.
