Abstract:
A remote control, comprising:two transmitters including a first transmitter outputting an optical signal and a second transmitter outputting a radio signal, said two transmitters each having an input; two actuation elements including a first actuation element and a second actuation element, said first actuation element activating said first transmitter, said second actuation element activating said second transmitter; two clock transmitters, including a first clock transmitter and a second clock transmitter, outputting the optical signal and the radio in pulsed fashion at particular intervals of time for saving energy, said first transmitter connected to said first clock transmitter and said second transmitter connected to said second clock transmitter, the optical signal and the radio signal being output at different intervals of time, a first interval of time between successive optical signals being longer than a second interval of time between successive radio signals, said two clock transmitters further coupled to said two actuation elements; and an OR gate connected to said two actuation elements and to said second transmitter for activating said second transmitter when at least one of said two actuation elements is actuated.
