Learning remote control device
First Claim
1. A learning control device of the type comprising a receiving means for receiving and demodulating a remote control signal from a remote control device;
- a memory means for storing data obtained by said receiving means through demodulation of the remote control signal;
control keys each corresponding to a prescribed storage region of said memory means;
a transmitting means for reproducing said remote control signal on the basis of said data read from said memory means and for transmitting said reproduced remote control signal;
a first switch means for shifting the operation mode of said learning remote control device between a reception mode and a transmission mode; and
a control means for writing said data from said receiving means into said storage region corresponding to one of said control keys when said operation mode is shifted to said reception mode by said first switch means, and for reading said data from said storage region corresponding to an operated on of said control keys to output the read data to said transmitting means when said operation mode is shifted to said transmission mode by said first switch means;
the improvement comprising;
a sub-mode switch means for switching between a first position for writing data corresponding to a received non-cyclic remote control signal into said memory means and a second position for writing data corresponding to a received cyclic remote control signal into said memory means, said control means operable, when said sub-mode switch means is switched to the first position and said first switch means is shifted to the reception mode, for performing a comparison between data representing a first received non-cyclic remote control signal and data representing a second received non-cyclic remote control signal, the first and second received non-cyclic remote control signals being received by said receiving means after a same key of the remote control device is manipulated first and second times, respectively, said control means operable when said sub-mode switch means is shifted to a second position which is different from the first position and said first switch means is shifted to the reception mode, for not performing any comparison between data representing a first received cyclic remote control signal and data representing a second received cyclic remote control signal, the first and second cyclic remote control signal being received by said receiving means after a same key of the remote control device is manipulated first and second times. respectively.

Abstract
A learning remote control device includes: a receiving section for receiving and demodulating a remote control signal from a remote control device; a memory for storing data obtained by the receiving section through demodulation; control keys each corresponding to a prescribed storage region of the memory; a transmitting section for reproducing the remote control signal on the basis of the data read from the memory and for transmitting the reproduced remote control signal; a switch for shifting the operation mode of the learning remote control device to reception mode or transmission mode; and a control section for writing the data from the receiving section into the storage region corresponding to one of the control keys in case that the operation mode is shifted to the reception mode by the switch, and for reading the data from the storage region corresponding to an operated one of the control keys to send out to the transmitting section in case that the operation mode is shifted to the transmission mode by the switch.
