A recording and/or reproducing apparatus (1) adapted to receive a record carrier (4) advantageously includes a transponder communication device (35) having a planiform station transmission coil (37) for the contactless communication with a record record-carrier transmission coil (50) combined with the record carrier (4), and includes holding means (51) for holding the station transmission coil (37) which extend away from the station transmission coil (37) into the space which is remote from the record-carrier transmission coil (50).
摘要:
A system which can be configured to communicate command codes to one or more home appliances which includes a keypad and a relay unit. At least one key on the keypad is associated with at least one command code from a plurality of command codes stored in a memory. The system determines if the at least one key on the keypad has been activated or if a command signal transmission that identifies the at least one key on the keypad has been received from the relay unit. When it is determined that either the at least one key has been activated or the command signal transmission that identifies the at least one key has been received, the system communicates to the one or more of home appliances the one or more command codes that have been associated to the at least one key on the keypad.

A fixed position remote control unit 20 as used with a movable barrier operator 11 has an externally accessible plug-in module interface 25. This interface 25 operably couples to the link 23 and 24 between the remote control unit 20 and the operator 11. So configured, a plug-in module 40 that docks and couples with this plug-in module interface 25 can receive operating (or charging) power from the movable barrier operator 11, exchange signaling with the movable barrier operator 11, or both. The ability to readily exchange signaling without invasive wiring permits a wide variety of plug-in modules 40 to be utilized.

The present invention is a remote control service processing device which controls various devices of home network environment through the use of graphic user interface (GUI). The remote control service processing device collects remote control service list information from the respective devices of the home network, stores the collected information in a storage unit, and provides a remote control service to a certain device of the connected devices to enable the certain device to remote control the other devices through the GUI. When a remote control request is received from the certain device through remote control service, the remote control service processing device transmits a remote control command to the requesting device based on the remote control service list information.

A wireless AV station is furnished with an Internet browsing function, a TV viewing function, a TV recording and playback function and a message board function, and these multiple functions are activated by a command from a plurality of personal computers each operating as remote controllers, and/or a dedicated remote controller. A control portion executes exclusive control among multiple functions based on exclusive control data, so that concurrently available functions may be used independently by a plurality of remote controllers.

A network, sensor and method are provided that utilize the capabilities of impulse radio technology to help monitor and/or control the environment within a building. In particular, the network includes a sensor attached to a first impulse radio unit that is capable of transmitting an impulse radio signal containing sensor related information to a second impulse radio unit. The second impulse radio unit is attached to a control station that uses the sensor related information (e.g., environmental related information, safety related information or surveillance related information) to monitor and/or control the environment within a building. In one aspect of the present invention, the control system can better control and monitor the environment within the building because the sensor may be moved around within the building and reference impulse radio units may interact with the first impulse radio unit to enable the determination of the current position of the sensor.

A remote controller capable of transmitting different control signals for controlling an anti-theft device on an automobile includes a casing, a controller circuit, a function key set, and a function display unit. The controller circuit is disposed in the casing and includes a transmitter circuit connected electrically to a processor unit. The function key set is mounted on the casing, is connected electrically to the processor unit, and includes a user-programmable command transmit key operable so as to enable the processor unit to control the transmitter circuit to transmit an assigned control signal. The function display unit is mounted on the casing, and is connected electrically to and controlled by the processor unit to provide a visual indication corresponding to a currently selected one of the control signals.

A method for transferring information to a remote control includes storing information in a transfer medium, inserting the transfer medium into a remote control that may or may not have already been programmed with information of the same type as that in the transfer medium, inputting the information from the transfer medium, and storing the information from the transfer medium in memory. Another embodiment of the method transfers information between remote controls. A remote control includes a processor, memory, and a transfer medium port. The processor is responsive to a data signal and the port is adapted to receive a transfer medium with information to be transferred to the remote control. The processor stores the information in memory. The remote control may also download information, which is to be transferred to other remote controls, into the transfer medium and the transfer medium may be reused to program additional remote controls.
摘要:
A controller is provided with a joy stick for designating a direction for a traveling body to run in, and transmits a radio signal such as an infrared ray in a target direction (null), in which the joy stick is brought down. The traveling body receives the radio signal to acquire the target direction (null) and to detect the direction for the radio signal to come in, and determines a relative direction (null) of the traveling body with reference to the coming direction of the radio signal. Direction changing means is driven to align the directions (null and null) with each other so that the traveling body may travel automatically in the target direction. As the player merely brings down the joy stick in the direction for the traveling body to run, therefore, the traveling body runs in the direction so that the control is drastically simplified.
