Abstract

An icon/text interface remote controller and particularly a remote controller incorporating with a display device which displays an icon/text menu interface to allow users to make selection mainly includes a touch panel, a button switch, a power supply, a power control circuit and a wireless emission circuit that incorporate with the display device. Users can see options of the icon/text menu on the display device to do remote control operation in a more user-friendly fashion.

Claims

1. An icon/text interface remote controller comprising mainly a touch panel, a button switch, a power supply, a power control circuit and a wireless emission circuit that incorporate with a display device;

wherein;

the touch panel detects touch and position of user'"'"'s fingers in response to system operation, and is divided through a system into segments corresponding to options on the display device;

the button switch executes depressed input function;

the power supply provides electric power required by the icon/text interface remote controller;

the power control circuit has at least one start unit and one automatic power off unit; and

the wireless emission circuit issues commands related to position coordinates of the fingers on the touch panel and depressing of the button switch.

2. The icon/text interface remote controller of claim 1, wherein the button switch is located beneath the touch panel to be activated when the touch panel is depressed.

3. The icon/text interface remote controller of claim 1, wherein the start unit is activated by depressing the button switch.

4. The icon/text interface remote controller of claim 1, wherein the start unit is activated by depressing the touch panel for a selected duration through the fingers.

5. The icon/text interface remote controller of claim 1, wherein the wireless emission circuit is an infrared emission circuit.

6. The icon/text interface remote controller of claim 1, wherein the wireless emission circuit is a FM emission circuit.

7. The icon/text interface remote controller of claim 1, wherein the wireless emission circuit is an AM emission circuit.

8. The icon/text interface remote controller of claim 1, wherein the wireless emission circuit is a Bluetooth emission circuit.

9. The icon/text interface remote controller of claim 1, wherein the automatic power off unit shuts down the power supply after the remote controller is not being used for a selected time period.

10. The icon/text interface remote controller of claim 1, wherein the power supply has batteries to provide the electric power.
