Abstract
A television control system for controlling different models of hospital televisions, has an input device for receiving an input from a person, and a controller for interfacing with hospital televisions. The controller generates command signal groups reflective of the input, and the command signal groups include a plurality of sequentially-generated, individual command signals for specific operational function of a plurality of different models of hospital televisions including ON/OFF, CHANNEL UP, CHANNEL DOWN, SELECT/MUSIC, PREVIOUS CHANNEL, MUTE, CLOSED CAPTION, and CHANNEL DIGIT operational functions.

21. A system for controlling a plurality of hospital TV models, including:
-
an input device that generates an input signal when actuated; and
a controller configured to interface with the plurality of hospital TVs and being operable in a plurality of operating modes;
the controller responding to the input signal, when in one operating mode, by generating a command signal group including a plurality of individual command signals, each corresponding to a function of one of the TV models;
the controller responding to the input signal, when in another operating mode, by generating a different command signal corresponding to a function of a TV model that does not respond to the command signal group. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40)
