Remote controller, electronic product system, and related method with memory capability
First Claim
1. A remote controller with memory capability for controlling electronic products, comprising:
- a status button;
a memory for storing a status information of a first electronic product;
a processing unit for generating a control signal and determining whether the status information exists in the memory when the status button is pressed; and
a transceiver device for transmitting and receiving;
wherein when the status button is pressed and the processing unit determines that the status information does not exist in the memory, the transceiver device outputs the control signal to and receives the status information from the first electronic product, and the memory stores the status information;
wherein when the status button is pressed and the processing unit determines that the status information exists in the memory, the transceiver device outputs the control signal and the status information stored in the memory to a second electronic product.

Abstract
A remote controller with memory capability includes a status button, a memory, a processing unit, and a transceiver device. The memory is utilized for storing a status information of an electronic product. When the status button is pressed, the processing unit generates a control signal and determines whether the status information exists in the memory. When the status button is pressed and the status information does not exist in the memory, the transceiver device outputs the control signal and receives the status information and the memory stores the status information. When the status button is pressed and the status information exists in the memory, the transceiver device outputs the control signal and the status information stored in the memory.

6. An electronic product system capable of controlling memory capability with a remote controller comprising:
-
a first electronic product having a first transceiver device and status information; a second electronic product having a second transceiver device; and a remote controller, the remote controller comprising; a status button; a memory for storing the status information; a processing unit for generating a control signal and determining whether the status information exists in the memory when the status button is pressed; and a third transceiver device for transmitting the control signal and the status information, and exchanging data with the first transceiver device and the second transceiver device; wherein when the status button is first pressed, the third transceiver device transmits the control signal to the first transceiver device, receives the status information as a response from the first electronic product, and stores the status information in the memory; wherein when the status button is pressed again, the third transceiver device transmits the control signal and the status information to the second transceiver device for controlling the second electronic product. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. A method for utilizing a remote controller to operate electronic products, comprising:
-
determining whether status information of a first electronic product exists in a memory of a remote controller when a status button of the remote controller is pressed; the remote controller transmitting a control signal to the first electronic product if the status information does not exist in the memory of the remote controller; determining whether the first electronic product is on; the first electronic product transmitting the status information to the remote controller if the first electronic product is on and the status information does not exist in the memory of the remote controller; storing the status information in the memory of the remote controller; turning off the first electronic product; the remote controller transmitting a control signal to a second electronic product if the status information exists in the memory of the remote controller; determining whether the second electronic product is on; and setting a status of the second electronic product according to the status information stored in the memory of the remote controller if the second electronic product is on and the status information exists in the memory of the remote controller. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
