BRIEF SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to a remote commander or remote control of a remotely-controlled apparatus and particularly to a remote commander of a remotely-controlled apparatus in which data transmitted from other remote commander or remote control is stored in a memory of a remote commander that belongs to a main body and the thus stored transmitted data is transmitted again.
2. Background Art
When in general a so-called AV system is assembled by combining a television receiver made by a company S, a video tape recorder made by another company, for example, company V and audio equipment made by, for example, company M, the respective apparatus are independently operated by remote commanders of the remotely-controlled apparatus that belong to the respective apparatus, which is inconvenient in use. To remove this disadvantage, Japanese laid-open patent gazette No. 60-254878 proposed such a remote commander that can store data transmitted from another remote commander and which can transmit the thus stored transmitted data again. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 designates a previously-proposed remote commander capable of re-transmitting the thus transmitted data and 2 a remote commander of a remotely-controlled apparatus that belongs to the television receiver made by, for example, the company S, a remote commander of a remotely-controlled apparatus that belongs to the video tape recorder made by the company V or a remote commander of a remotely-controlled apparatus that belongs to the audio equipment made by the company M. In this remote commander 2, command operations are determined by a plurality of operation keys 2a, 2b . . . as is well-known. Also, predetermined transmitting data are transmitted by operating the respective operation keys 2a, 2b . . . The remote commander 1 is arranged to switch its memory mode and transmission mode. In the memory mode of this remote commander 1, as shown in FIG. 1, a transmitting section of another remote commander 2 is located in correspondence with a receiving section of this remote commander 1, whereby when the operation key 2a of the operations keys 2a, 2b . . . is corresponded with, for example, the key 1a of the desired keys 1a, 1b . . . and they are operated together, data transmitted by operating, for example, the operation key 2a of other the remote commander 2 is stored in the remote commander 1 at its memory section corresponding, for example, to the operation key 1a. In the transmission mode of this remote commander 1 when the operation keys 1a, 1b . . . are operated, the transmitted data stored in correspondence therewith are transmitted. Accordingly, in such a remote commander 1, when data transmitted in correspondence with the respective operating keys of the remote commander that belongs to the television receiver made by the company S, data transmitted in correspondence with the respective operating keys of the remote commander that belongs to the video tape recorder made by the company V and data transmitted in correspondence with the respective operating keys of the remote commander that belongs to the audio equipment made by the company M are stored in response to the respective operation keys 1a, 1b . . . , the above-mentioned AV system can be operated by the single remote commander 1, which is convenient.
In such a remote commander 1, however, when the operation key corresponding to the memory section in which data transmitted from the other remote commander is not previously stored is operated, the above-mentioned key operation is treated as a transmission error in the remotely-controlled apparatus.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
In view of such an aspect, the present invention is intended to provide the remote commander 1 which can remove the above-mentioned disadvantages and which can be used more conveniently.
The present invention relates to a remote commander or remote control in which data transmitted from another remote commander is stored as user remote control data and the thus stored user remote control data
