Abstract:
1. A method of operating an infrared remote control, the method comprising: receiving infrared light having a first wavelength at the infrared remote control; detecting infrared noise in the infrared light having the first wavelength received at the infrared remote control; sensing a position of the infrared remote control; correlating the detected infrared noise with the sensed position of the infrared remote control; and if the infrared noise detected when the infrared remote control is located in the sensed position exceeds a threshold, then adapting a subsequent transmission of an infrared command signal transmitted by the infrared remote control when the infrared remote control is again located in the same sensed position, wherein the adapting comprises changing the subsequent transmission so that the infrared noise detected in the infrared light having the first wavelength no longer interferes with the subsequent transmission of the infrared command signal transmitted by the infrared remote control.
