Programmable remote control apparatus and method thereof
First Claim
1. A method of setting remote control content, applied to a remote control apparatus having two display units, and said remote control apparatus installing a plurality of function key modules and two switching key modules, and said each switching key module corresponding to said each display unit and disposed proximate to said each display unit and having a plurality of switching keys, and said each switching key corresponding to said each function key module of a different remote control content, and said method comprising the steps of:
- entering into a setting mode;
providing a content information for setting said each switching key;
displaying a user-defined content information on said each display unit proximate to said each switching key;
recording said user-defined content information and a corresponding switching key code into said remote control apparatus;
providing an operation instruction of said user-defined function key module corresponding to said each switching key; and
defining said function key module corresponding to at least one switching key into said remote control apparatus, after said each operation instruction is defined.

Abstract
A remote control apparatus includes a casing with several function key modules, a setup key, two display units, two switching key modules corresponding to the display units, a function key module for setting remote control contents, and several switching keys. The casing has a circuit board and a control unit on the circuit board for connecting the display units, switching key modules, setup key and function key module. After the setup key is triggered to enter into a setting mode, the control unit displays the content information on the display unit and proximate to the switching key and records the content information and switching key code, and then defines and records the remote control content for each function key module corresponding to at least one switching key. Therefore, users can distinguish the switching keys, corresponding content information, and operation instructions of function key modules corresponding to different switching keys.

8. A remote control apparatus for setting remote control contents, comprising:
- a casing;
a circuit board, installed in said casing; at least one setup key, with an end disposed on said casing and another end disposed in said casing and coupled to said circuit board, such that if said setup key is triggered to issue a setup signal, said remote control apparatus will enter into a setting mode; at least one function key module, including a plurality of function keys, with an end disposed on said casing and another end disposed in said casing and coupled to said circuit board, for issuing different operation instructions respectively when said function keys are triggered; two display units, disposed on said casing and coupled with said circuit board in said casing; two switching key modules, corresponding to different display units, and separately including a plurality of switching keys disposed on said casing at positions corresponding to said display unit, and disposed in said casing and coupled to said circuit board, and said switching keys are triggered to issue a switching key code separately, for switching said function key module of said remote control apparatus corresponding to said switching key; and a control unit, installed on said circuit board and connected to said each display unit, switching key module, setup key module and function key module, such that after said control unit receives a switching key code in said setting mode, said switching key code is received and stored at a position to be displayed on said display unit and proximate to said switching key, and presenting a content information of said switching key, and defining an operation instruction of said each function key module corresponding to at least one switching key, and recording said operation instruction into said remote control apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
