Abstract

A wireless communication device (100) for remotely controlling an electronic device, and for receiving and sending audio signals is disclosed. The wireless communication device includes a microprocessor (10), a touch module (20), a power module (30), an audio module (40) and a wireless transceiver module (50). The touch module includes a touch panel (21) and a touch IC (22) electronically connected to the touch panel. Signals can be entered into the touch IC by touching the touch panel, and be sent to the microprocessor, and then being sent to the electronic device through the wireless transceiver module to remotely control the electronic device. The audio module is configured for inputting an audio signal to the electronic device and outputting an audio signal from the electronic device.
