ABSTRACT:
A universal remote commander provided as a replacement for an original remote control unit has a specialized shape, which is intended to be easily held and gripped in the hand, employs only a minimum number of controls that are used in conjunction with a function selection switch that selects either television, VCR, or cable, for example. The specialized housing is V-shaped in orthogonal cross sections so that it is wider at the top than at the bottom in the front view, whereas it is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom in the side view so as to achieve a generally cylindrical feel when held in the hand. A rotary knob can be employed at the bottom of the housing to act as the function selector switch or the rotary knob can be spring loaded and to act as a jog switch when controlling a VCR. A keypad can include translucent buttons that can be lit from inside the remote commander for use in dimly lighted rooms.
