An ID code is wirelessly sent to a device, such as a keyless-entry system or a keyless-starter system mounted on an automobile, from a portable transmitter. Electronic components including an electronic circuit board, a transponder and a battery are all contained in a resin case. A mechanical key that is to be used to open the door when the battery voltage is too low to operate the system is also contained in the case. The battery contained in the case is covered with the battery cover which is fixed to the case with screws. The battery cover is further covered with a sliding cover that slides in the same direction in which the mechanical key is taken out. The sliding cover and the mechanical key is locked in their respective positions by hooks which are released with a common lever.
摘要:
A universal remote control unit for remotely controlling a plurality of devices each belonging to a respective device category, which includes a plurality of lights corresponding to each device category and a processor having a programming mode for programming the processor to control a particular device. The lights are caused to sequentially turn on, as by actuating one or more buttons of the remote, or by causing selective actuation of directional buttons of the remote control. When the light associated with the device category of the particular device it is desired to program is lit, the processor is the placed in the programming mode. Then, the processor is programmed to operate the particular device.

A remote control device is which key use is monitored. A command key, representative of an appliance function, may be correlated to a target appliance that is determined, as a function of the monitored key use, to be the most likely intended recipient of a command to perform that appliance function. An activity key may also be programmed so as to perform a series of actions that are representative of a sequence of monitored key uses.
摘要:
A remote control is equipped with a pushbutton unit including a plurality of transverse linking sections linking pushbuttons in a transverse direction and a bridge section connecting the transverse linking sections at one side. This pushbutton unit is provided by integrally forming a first button group and a second button group respectively including a plurality of pushbuttons in a specified arrangement as a unit on a sheet-form elastic member in such a manner that pushbuttons of one button group are located between pushbuttons of the other button group and by cutting, along a specified cut line, this unit into two pushbutton units including transverse linking sections with pushbuttons linked in the transverse direction and a bridge section that connects the transverse linking sections at one side. Since the portion where any pushbutton of one pushbutton unit is not arranged can be used as the portion where a pushbutton of the other pushbutton unit is arranged in such a configuration, the wasteful use of material can be reduced. In addition, since two pushbutton units can be formed by one molding process, the forming man-hour per pushbutton unit can be reduced.

A macrocell MC1 including a physical-layer circuit in accordance with USB 2.0 or the like is placed at a corner of an integrated circuit device ICD. Data terminals DP and DM are placed in an I/O region IOR1 along a side SD1; and power terminals PVDD, PVSS, XVDD, and XVSS and clock terminals XI and XO of a clock generation circuit and a sampling clock circuit are placed in an I/O region IOR2 along a side SD2. An interface region and a macrocell MC2 including user-specified logic are provided along a side SD3. A reception circuit is placed on a DR1 side of IOR1, a clock generation circuit is placed on a DR2 side of IOR2, and a sampling clock generation circuit is placed on the DR1 side of the reception circuit and also the DR2 side of the clock generation circuit. A transmission circuit is placed on the DR2 side of the reception circuit and on the DR1 side of the data terminals DP and DM.
摘要:
A remote controller is capable of transmitting different control signals for controlling an anti-theft device on an automobile, and includes a controller circuit disposed in a casing, and a function key set and a function display unit mounted on the casing and connected electrically to the controller circuit. The controller circuit includes a processor unit and a transmitter circuit connected electrically to and controlled by the processor unit so as to transmit the control signals wirelessly. The function key set includes a function select key operable so as to control selection of the control signals by the processor unit. The function display unit is controlled by the processor unit to provide a visual indication corresponding to a currently selected one of the control signals.
