First Claim
Patent Images
1. A remote control exploiting a multiply tasked touchpad, the remote control comprising:
- a planar transparent substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface in opposed relation;
a transparent organic light emitting diode (TOLED) disposed on the transparent substrate lower surface;
a translucent touchpad overlaying the TOLED affixed to the upper surface; and
a character projecting base-layer situated at the lower surface, such that when activated, the character projecting base projects a character through the transparent light emitting diode onto the translucent touchpad.

Abstract
A remote control exploits a multiply tasked touchpad. The remote control includes a planar transparent substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface in opposed relation. A transparent organic light emitting diode (TOLED) is formed on the transparent substrate lower surface. A translucent touchpad overlays the TOLED affixed to the upper surface. A character projecting base-layer is affixed to the lower surface, such that when activated, the character projecting base projects a character through the transparent light emitting diode onto the translucent touchpad.

9. A method for multiply tasking a touchpad on a remote control, the method comprising:
-
sensing a position of a tasking switch; lighting one of a transparent organic light emitting diode (TOLED) or a light emitting base according to the position, each of the TOLED and the light emitting base configured to project a character through a translucent touchpad; running a position script according to the position; running a position actuation script according to tasking switch in response to a touch sensed on the translucent touchpad at a location; and emitting a controlling signal according to the position actuation script and the location. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
