ABSTRACT:
The universal remote control comprises: light emitting circuitry; driver circuitry coupled to the light emitting circuitry; a microprocessor including a CPU coupled to the driver circuitry, structure, such as a keyboard, coupled to the CPU for communicating "code signal generation sequences" including a "code generate command" signal followed by a "code setting" signal to the CPU, a memory for storing information therein coupled to the CPU, program instructions stored in the memory, and, signal determining and function code creating program and circuitry associated with the memory and the CPU for determining when a "code signal generation sequence" has been received and for using the "code setting" signal of the sequence received to create a function code, comprising, a specific IR blink code, defined by a series of infra-red "light on-light off" pulses, defining a code signal for causing a controlled apparatus to execute a specific function, e.g., "volume up", and for energizing the driver circuitry to cause the light emitting circuitry to emit the specific series of infra-red "light on-light off" pulses defining the specific code signal to the controlled apparatus.
