Abstract

A remote control assembly includes a remote unit that may be carried. The remote unit may be in electrical communication with an extrinsic electronic device. The remote unit may be manipulated thereby facilitating the remote unit to wirelessly control functions of the extrinsic electronic device. A base unit is provided and the base unit may have the remote unit is removably positioned thereon. The base unit charges the remote unit when the remote unit is positioned on the base unit.

2. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein said remote unit comprises a grip having a top end, a bottom end and a peripheral wall extending between said top end and said bottom end, said peripheral wall being curved such that said grip has a substantially cylindrical shape wherein said grip is configured to be gripped in a vertical orientation with respect to a line extending through said top end and said bottom end, said peripheral wall having a front side and a back side.

3. The assembly according to claim 2, wherein said back side curves outwardly adjacent to said top end to form a horn on said grip wherein said horn is configured to enhance a grip of said grip, front side undulating between said bottom end and said top end wherein said front side is configured to enhance a grip of said grip.

4. The assembly according to claim 1, further comprising:

said remote unit including a grip; and

a control circuit being positioned within said grip, said control circuit comprising;

a processor, and

a transmitter being electrically coupled to said processor, said transmitter being configured to be in electrical communication with the extrinsic electronic device.

5. The assembly according to claim 4, further comprising:

said grip having a peripheral wall; and

a pair of first switches, each of said first switches being positioned on said peripheral wall wherein each of said first switches is configured to be manipulated, each of said first switches being electrically coupled to said processor wherein each of said first switches is configured to selectively issue a command with respect to the extrinsic electronic device.

6. The assembly according to claim 4, further comprising:

said grip having a top end; and

a pair of second switches, each of said second switches being positioned on said top end wherein each of said second switches is configured to be manipulated, each of said second switches being electrically coupled to said processor wherein each of said second switches is configured to issued a command with respect to the extrinsic electronic device.

7. The assembly according to claim 6, further comprising a track ball being rotatably coupled to said grip, said track ball being positioned on said top end wherein said track ball is configured to be manipulated, said track ball being electrically coupled to said processor wherein said track ball is configured to issue commands with respect to a cursor on the extrinsic electronic device, said track ball being positioned between each of said second switches.

8. The assembly according to claim 4, further comprising:

said grip having a front side; and

a light emitter being positioned on said front side wherein said light emitter is configured to selectively emit a beam of light from said front side, said light emitter being electrically coupled to said processor.

9. The assembly according to claim 4, further comprising:

said grip having a bottom end; and

a remote power supply being electrically coupled to said processor, said remote power supply comprising at least one battery, said remote power supply including a charge port being coupled to said bottom end, said charge port being electrically coupled to said remote power supply.

10. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein said base unit comprises a housing having a lower side, an upper side and a perimeter side extending between said lower side and said upper side, said lower side being configured to abut a support surface, said upper side having a well extending downwardly therein, said well insertably receiving said charge port such that grip extends upwardly from said housing.

11. The assembly according to claim 10, further comprising a base power supply being positioned within said housing, said base power supply comprising a power cord extending outwardly from said perimeter side, said power cord being electrically coupled to said base power supply, said power cord having a distal end with respect to said perimeter side, said distal end having a plug being electrically coupled thereto, said plug being configured to be electrically coupled to a power source.

12. The assembly according to claim 11, further comprising:

a grip having a charge port and a remote power supply; and

a socket being positioned within said well, said socket being electrically coupled to said base power supply, said socket insertably receiving said charge port when said grip is positioned in said well, said charge port being electrically coupled to said socket such that said charge port charges said remote power supply.

13. The assembly according to claim 11, further comprising a power port being positioned on said upper side wherein said power port is configured to be electrically coupled to a conductor, said power port being electrically coupled being electrically coupled to said base power supply.

14. A remote control assembly comprising:
