Multi-remote controller circuit having automatic setting functions
First Claim
1. A multi-remote controller circuit, comprising:
- a key matrix including an automatic setting key;
a unit for outputting data;
a receiving unit for detecting a power-on/off state of an object to be controlled; and
a controller which, in response to activation of said automatic setting key, sequentially applies data of different manufacturers for power-on/off of said object to be controlled to said unit for outputting data, and when said receiving unit detects that the power on/off state of the control object changes, sets multi-remote controller to the manufacturer of said object to be controlled.

Abstract
A multi-remote controller circuit for selecting a manufacturer of an object to be controlled. The multi-remote controller circuit has: a key matrix including an automatic setting key, numeric keys, and various keys for automatic selection of a manufacturer of the control object; a light emitting unit for receiving data corresponding to the selected key of the key matrix and outputting a corresponding pulse wave; a light receiving unit for detecting a power-on/off state of the control object; and a controller for proceeding to a manufacturer selection mode in response to activation of the automatic setting key, sequentially applying data of different manufacturers for power-on/off of the control object to the light emitting unit according to a preset manufacturer selection table, and upon detection of a signal by the light receiving unit of a change in the power on/off state of the control object, setting the manufacturer of the control object.

7. A method for automatically setting a manufacturer of an object to be controlled in a multi-remote controller circuit which has a key matrix including an automatic setting key, a unit for outputting data, and a detecting unit for detecting a power-on/off state of the object to be controlled, the method comprising the steps of:
-
proceeding to a manufacturer selection mode in response to activation of said automatic setting key; sequentially applying data of different manufacturers for power-on/off of said object to be controlled to said unit for outputting data; and upon detection of a change in the power on/off state of said object to be controlled by the detecting unit, setting the multi-remote controller to the manufacturer of said object to be controlled. - View Dependent Claims (8)
