Remote control devices have been in use for years. Remote control devices are utilized to operate various external electronic devices including but not limited to televisions, stereos, receivers, VCRso, DVD players, CD players, amplifiers, equalizers, tape players, cable units, lighting, window shades and other electronic devices. A conventional remote control is typically comprised of a housing structure, a keypad within the housing structure for entering commands by the user, electronic circuitry within the housing structure connected to the keypad, and a transmitter electrically connected to the electronic circuitry for transmitting a control signal to an electronic device to be operated.
Because of the multiple electronic devices currently available within many homes and businesses today, a relatively new type of remote control is utilized to allow for the control of a plurality of electronic devices commonly referred to as a “universal remote control.” Most universal remote controls have “selector buttons” that are associated with the specific electronic device to be controlled by the remote control (i.e., television, VCR, DVD player, etc.).
Example: A few universal remote controls allow for “macros” to be programmed into the remote control so that when a preprogrammed button is depressed a string of commands is executed as programmed. For example, if the user desires to operate their television along with the stereo receiving input from the television, the user would program a macro for turning on the television, turning on the stereo and then switching the input to the stereo for receiving audio input from the television. The main problem with conventional universal remote controls is that they are unable to detect or monitor the state of a particular electronic device. Another problem with conventional universal remote controls is that when a preprogrammed macro is executed, an undesirable effect can occur wherein electronic devices that are desired to be turned on are actually turned off. For example, if the television is already on but the stereo is tuned to a .local radio station and the user selects the above macro the power to the television would actually be turned off instead of maintained on.
The main problem with conventional remote control devices is that they are typically unable to know the particular “state” of an electronic device they are to control, particularly universal remote controls. A further problem with conventional remote controls that do allow for advanced configuration thereof to compensate for the various states of the electronic device is that they are often times difficult for the average consumer to utilize. Another problem with conventional remote control devices is that they force consumers to heir electronic devices “individually” (i.e., turn television on, turn stereo on, switch audio input on stereo to television) rather than in broad “tasks” (e.g., watch television).
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises a housing, a keypad in communication with an electronic system contained within the housing, and a communication device in communication with the electronic system for communicating with external electronic devices. The electronic system constantly monitors the buttons selected by a user to determine the state of all external electronic devices that are to be controlled. When the user selects a task (e.g., watch television), the electronic system automatically determines the actions required to achieve the desired task based upon the current state of the external electronic devices. After the task has been fulfilled, the electronic system updates the data to reflect the modified state of the external electronic devices.
An additional object is to provide a state-based remote control system that allows for the simple operation of a plurality of electronic devices based upon an 25 overall “task” instead of specific controls for specific electronic devices.
FIGS. 11 a-11 b is a flowchart providing an example task for watching television being executed
FIG. 12 is a simplified schematic of a remote control system according to one embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 13 is a simplified schematic of a remote control system according to another embodiment of the present invention.
Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which similar reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views, FIGS. 1 through 11 illustrate a state-based remote control system 10, which comprises a housing 20, a keypad 114 in communication with an electronic system 100 contained within the housing 20, and a communication device 108 in communication with the electronic system 100 for communicating with external electronic devices 12. The electronic system 100 constantly monitors the buttons of the keypad 114 and other switches selected by a user to determine the state of all external electronic devices 12 that are to be controlled. When the user selects a task (e.g., watch television), the electronic system 100 automatically determines the actions required to achieve the desired task based upon the current state of the external electronic devices 12. After the task has been fulfilled, the electronic system 100 updates the data to reflect the modified state of the external electronic devices 12.
The communications device 108 may be comprised of any well-known communication system that allows communications with external electronic devices. The communications device 108 may provide for various types of communication such as but not limited to via infrared (IR), wireless (e.g., BLUETOOTH), unidirectional, bidirectional, radio frequency (RF), visible light, ultrasonic and various other means for communicating with external electronic devices.
Input into the electronic system is accomplished mainly through the usage of the keypad 114. The keypad 114 includes a plurality of buttons that allow the user to execute one or more commands. The keypad 114 allows for the control of basic functions such as volume, channel manipulation, mute, and last channel. However, the keypad 114 may also include several buttons that represent a specific task such as watch television, listen to radio and various other tasks. Various other input devices may be utilized to input data into the electronic system such as a jog switch 22 (i.e., dial), motion and orientation detectors, touch sensitive screens and voice recognition. The display 104 provides information to the user such as possible tasks to complete or the current state of the external electronic devices.
Prior to utilizing the present invention, the user must program the electronic system 100 to not only recognize all of the external electronic devices 12 to be controlled but also as to each external electronic device 12 respective current “states” (i.e., on, off, current input, current output, etc.) as is shown in FIG. 7 of the drawings.
“Current State Data” is data information relating to the current state of each of the external electronic devices 12 stored within the electronic system 100. The “state” of an external electronic device 12 is comprised of various variables such as but not limited to power on, power off, volume level, mute on, mute off, audio input, audio output, video input, video output, lights on, lights off, shades open, shades closed, and various other states common to external electronic devices 12. The Current State Data is updated as actions and/or tasks are performed to provide an accurate reflection of the actual current state of the external electronic devices 12. The Current State Data is utilized by the electronic. system 100 to determine what external electronic devices 12 require modification when a “task” is selected by the user to prevent undesirable events from occurring.
Another function of the present invention is to allow for the electronic system 100 to determine what menu options (i.e., “tasks”) that are available upon the display 104 based upon the current state of the external electronic devices 12. For example, if the television is currently on, the menu within the display may display the “Turn Television Off” task instead of the “Turn Television On” task which is not required.
External Device Initial State Prior to Execution Task
1. Room Lighting Lights turned on and shades open during
After selecting the desired WATCH TELEVISION task, the electronic system 100 immediately reads the Current State Data and compares the same to the “Desired State Data.” Below is -a listing of the Desired State Data for the WATCH TELEVISION task.
After comparing the Current State Data to the Desired State Data, the electronic system 100 determines that the room lighting needs to be reduced by turning off lights 15 and closing shades along with switching the audio input to the television. The electronic system 100 further determines that the television needs to be turned on and the CD player turned off. Below is a listing of the individual actions that the electronic system 100 takes to perform the WATCH TELEVISION task.
1. Room Lighting Turn lighting off and close shades.
The user wishes to configure the remote control to operate the user's home entertainment system. Based on the devices previously identified by the user, the Programming System provides a default configuration for the remote control that will allow the user to operate all components of the home entertainment system. Because the home entertainment system includes a television, the Programming System prompts the user to select which cable provider is being used. Because the home entertainment system includes a CD jukebox, then user is asked if he wishes to enter CD title information. With each CD selected by the user, the Programming System uses the Internet to connect to a CD database server and obtain artist, title, and track information. The Programming System then provides the user with a list of common macros which the user may be interested in adding to his configuration. The Programming System then uses the Internet to connect to TVGuide.com and download the current television schedule. The Programming System then transfers all necessary code and data to the remote control. Finally, the Programming System asks the user if he wishes to print out a booklet that describes the operation of the configured remote control.
Example: The user wishes to add the television channel “Global” to his list of preferred content. The user uses the Programming System to add the channel, and then the Programming System transfers the changed configuration to the remote control. Now, when the user browses available television channels on the remote control, the television channel “Global” is at the top of the list.
Example: The user wishes to customize the operation of the remote control. The user uses the Programming System to change the default television show reminder to be ‘Sound an alarm 1 minute before the show starts’, and changes the navigation up key to select the function ‘View cable television channel 50’.
It is noted that the Programming System may store the configuration information to allow the user to incrementally modify the configuration. For example, the user may add a new CD title to the CD jukebox. It is noted that the Programming System may be used to modify any aspect of the configuration (data and/or code) of the remote control. For example, this can even include complete functionality changes where one user develops software designed to control a home automation system, and then allows other users to use the Programming System to configure their remote control s with the new software and associated data.
It is noted that the Programming System may use any available information to assist the user in customizing the operation of the remote control, including but not limited to:
Sample configurations provided by other users.
It is noted that the Programming System is designed to make the remote control simple to configure for a novice user. For example, if the user has specified to the Programmer 10 (see FIGS. 12 and 13) that they wish to control a television and videocassette recorder, then the Programmer 10 may allow the user to select from common operations that are performed with systems containing a television and videocassette recorder. Examples of such operations include ‘Play a videotape’ and ‘Record a television show’. If the user chooses to accept such an operation, then the Programming System configures the remote control in such a manner as to ensure that when the user selects the operation ‘Play a videotape’ then the remote control sends control signals as required to direct the Device Network to perform the desired operation (if possible).
It is noted that the remote control may be purchased pre-configured to the user's preferences, in which case configuration via the Programming System is optional.
It is noted that the remote control may be configured using the user input module 5, user output module 6 and device communication module 3, in which case the remote control is the sole component of the Programming System, and the connection to the Interface System 10 is optional. For example, the remote control can be instructed to ‘learn’ a remote control code from an infrared remote control, as is well known in the art.
It is noted that the remote control may be configured using just the Interface System 10, in which case the Interface System 10 is sole component of the Programming System.
It is noted that the Programming System may display arbitrary information to the user. For example, while the remote control is communicating with the Programming System the user may be shown advertising based on the types of television shows that the user enjoys watching.
It is noted that the user may use the remote control to alter any aspect of the configuration of the remote control. For example, the user may instruct the remote control to remember a sequence of commands and assign them to a new menu option.
It is noted that the user may interact with the Programming System when the remote control is not connected to the Programming System, in which case any changes will be transferred to the remote control at a later date.
