Abstract

Abstract a remote controller with learning function having first and second storage circuits, an operating unit with a plurality of operating keys, and input and output circuits, wherein the learnt remote control signals are not stored in correspondence with the operating keys but with signals for reading out the learnt remote control signals in the second storage circuit, the learnt remote control signals can be output by operating the keys capable of specifying any of the signals identical with the signal for reading out or by inputting a signal identical with the signal for reading out from the exterior. Both the remote control signal to learn and the signal for reading out the learnt remote control signal may be external signals fed from the exterior, a number of remote control signals to learn can be increased independent of a number of operating keys, and remote control signals through different transmission media can also be used for learning as well as for signal conversion. The remote control signal to learn and the signal for use in the remote control may be different signals and the signal for reading out the learnt remote control signal may also be a signal fed from the exterior.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4

Claim 1

Independent Claim 161 words

A remote controller with learning function comprising: an operating unit having a plurality of operating keys; first storage means, having storage regions corresponding to respective operating keys of the operating unit, for storing remote control signals in the storage regions in advance; one or a plurality of input means for inputting a signal(s) from the exterior; second storage means for storing the remote control signal read from the first storage means by operating the operating key and the first signal applied from the exterior through the input means, in correspondence with each other; and a plurality of output means for outputting the first signal read from the second storage means in response to the operation of the operating key of the operating unit which corresponds to the remote control signal stored in the second storage means or in response to an input of the same signal to the input means as the remote control signal stored in the second storage means.

Claim 2

Dependent Claim 159 words

A remote controller with learning function comprising: an operating unit having a plurality of operating keys; first storage means, having storage regions corresponding to the operating keys of the operating unit, for storing remote control signals in the storage regions in advance; one or a plurality of input means for inputting a signal(s) from the exterior; second storage means for storing first and second signals applied from the exterior through the input means, in correspondence with each other; and one or a plurality of output means for outputting the second signal read from the second storage means in response to an input of the same signal to the input means as the first signal stored in the second storage means or in response to the operation of the operating key of the operating unit which key corresponds to the storage region of the first storage means storing the same signal as the first signal stored in the second means.

Claim 3

Dependent Claim 181 words

A remote controller with learning function comprising: an operating unit having a plurality of operating keys; first storage means, having storage regions corresponding to the operating keys of the operating unit, for storing remote control signals and signals other than the remote control signals in the storage regions in advance; one or a plurality of input means for inputting a signal(s) from the exterior; second storage means for storing the remote control signals and the signals other than the remote control signals which are read from the first storage means by the operation of the operating keys of the operating unit, in correspondence with each other; and one or a plurality of output means for outputting the signal other than the remote control signals read from the second storage means in response to the operation of the operating key of the operating unit which corresponds to the remote control signal stored in the second storage means or in response to the input of the same signal to the input means as the remote control signal stored in the second storage means.

Claim 4

Dependent Claim 190 words

A remote controller with learning function comprising: an operating unit having a plurality of operating keys; first storage means, having storage regions corresponding to the operating keys of the operating unit, for storing remote control signals and signals other than the remote control signals in the storage regions in advance; one or a plurality of input means for inputting a signal(s) from the exterior; second storage means for storing the first signal applied from the exterior through the input means and the signal other than the remote control signals read from the first storage means by operating the operating key of the operating unit, in correspondence with each other; and one or a plurality of output means for outputting the signal other than the remote control signals read from the second storage means in response to the input of the same signal to the input means as the first signal stored in the second storage means or in response to the operation of the operating key corresponding to the storage region of the first storage means storing the same signal as the first signal stored in the second storage means.
