Abstract

A system and method for updating IR signal information remotely for control devices are disclosed.

Claims

1. A system for updating control code information comprising:

at least one signal modulating device for converting encoded information to a sound wave signal, wherein the encoded information is for use by a control device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one signal modulating device performs magnitude modulation and frequency modulation.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising at least one decoder for performing signal demodulation of the sound wave signal.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the at least one decoder calculates a mean value of a sine wave associated with the sound wave signal for each period calculation of the sound wave signal.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the at least one decoder adjusts limits on each demodulation of the sound wave signal.

6. The system of claim 3, wherein the at least one decoder calculates a period of the sound wave signal.

7. The system of claim 3, further comprises a microphone with that has a sensitivity of about 2 inches.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one signal modulating device performs modulation on the sound wave signal in a manner that is independent of signal timing during demodulation.

9. The system of claim 3, wherein an output of the signal demodulation is filtered and converted into a binary stream.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the encoded information is infra-red information.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the encoded information is radio-frequency information.

12. A system for updating control code information comprising:

at least one signal demodulating device for demodulating a sound wave signal, wherein the sound wave signal is associated with encoded information.

13. The system of claim 12 wherein the at least one signal demodulating device calculates a mean value of a sine wave associated with the sound wave signal.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the at least one signal demodulating device adjusts limits on each demodulation.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein the at least one signal demodulating device calculates a period of the sound wave signal.

16. The system of claim 12, further comprises a microphone with that has a sensitivity of about 2 inches.

17. The system of claim 12, wherein the at least one signal demodulating device has a signal timing that is independent of a corresponding modulation signal timing

18. The system of claim 12, wherein an output of the signal demodulation is filtered and converted into a binary stream.

19. The system of claim 12, wherein the encoded information is infra-red information.

20. The system of claim 12, wherein the encoded information is radio-frequency information.
