Remote-controlled monitor/PC control circuit and control method thereof
First Claim
1. A remote controlled computer system comprising:
- a computer for performing data processing operations;
a monitor for displaying data output from said computer as a result of said data processing operations, said monitor comprising a remote control signal reception unit therein; and
a remote controller for providing a remote control signal to said remote control signal reception unit in said monitor for selectively controlling either one of said computer and said monitor via said remote control signal reception unit in said monitor, said remote control signal reception unit comprising;
a light receiving unit for receiving said remote control signal as a light signal and converting said light signal to a current signal;
an extension hub for receiving an output signal from a computer peripheral device, said computer peripheral device being either one of a keyboard and a mouse, and outputting a hub signal;
a signal analyzer for analyzing the current signal and the hub signal and generating either one of a computer control signal and a monitor control signal for selectively controlling either one of said computer and said monitor, wherein said signal analyzer also outputs said hub signal;
a microprocessor for receiving and said computer control signal, said monitor control signal and said hub signal output from said signal analyzer, said microprocessor having a monitor communication port for receiving said monitor control signal generated by said signal analyzer; and
said computer control signal generated by said signal analyzer and said hub signal output from said signal analyzer being supplied to a computer communication port of said computer.
