Programmable remote control and method for programming a programmable remote control, a readable memory and a program
First Claim
1. A remote control device comprising object keys, a selector for linking preset IR or RF code sets to the object keys to thereby enable the user to control functions of a device to be controlled via the remote control, characterized in that the remote control device is arranged for enabling combination of a number of preset IR or RF code sets into a single code set, and comprises:
- a. a selector for the selection of IR or RF preset code set by a user, b. an activator for the activation of one or more links between an element of said preset IR or RF code set and an object key by the user after the selection. c. a selector for the subsequent selection of a further preset code set by the user, and d. repeat means for repeating a and b for the further preset code set until all object keys have been linked or the user terminates the process.

Abstract
A remote control comprises object keys and a selector for linking preset IR or RF code sets to the object keys. The remote control comprises:—a selector for the selection of an IR or RF preset code set by a user,—an activator for the activation of one or more links between an element of said preset IR or RF code set and an object key by the user after the selection,—a selector for the subsequent selection of a further preset code set by the user and—repeat means for repeating the steps a and b for the further preset code set until all object keys have been linked or the user terminates the process. This allows the user to combine more then one preset code set into a single code set.

10. A method for programming a remote control device, characterized in that data of more than one preset IR or RF code set of a remote control are combined into a single IR or RF code set by carrying out the following steps:
-
a. selection of a preset code set is by the user, b. activation of links between an element of said preset IR or RF code set and an object key, after which c. a further preset code set is selected by the user and the steps a and b are repeated for the further preset code set until all object keys have been linked or the user terminates the process. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A programmable remote control device comprising object keys and a memory, said memory comprising means for storing a number of preset IR or RF code sets, and also comprising an executable program or set of programs, said program or set of programs comprising:
-
a. a program code for the selection of a stored preset IR or RF code set by a user, b. the linking of an element of said preset IR or RF code set and an object key upon activation by the user and c. a program code for the subsequent selection of a further preset code set by the user, and d. a program code for repeating the steps a and b for the further preset code set until all object keys have been linked or the user terminates the process. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
