Patent ID: 8358194

Claim:
A remote control system for regulating and controlling a mechanical drive, wherein the remote control system comprises at least one transmitting remote control and at least one receiver which cooperates with the mechanical drive, the transmitting remote control containing at least one inclination sensor; wherein the transmitting remote control comprises: a) means for manually entering data by an operator, for manually entering commands by an operator or for manually entering both data and commands by an operator; b) processing means, where the at least one inclination sensor is adapted to send to the processing means information related to a position in space of the transmitting remote control; and c) transmitting means of at least one command, control and regulation signal to the receiver; wherein the means for manually entering data by an operation, for manually entering commands by an operator or for manually entering both data and commands by an operator comprise at least one keyboard; wherein the processing means comprises at least one microcontroller; wherein a piece of information about a pushbutton pressed on the keyboard is sent to the microcontroller that starts processing a piece of information about an inclination detected by the inclination sensor, where the piece of information about the pressed pushbutton together with a measure of the inclination of the transmitting remote control measured by the inclination sensor being transmitted to the receiver through the transmitting means; wherein the remote control system has an operating mode of an ON/OFF type in which a corresponding linear movement of the mechanical drive is associated with pressure from a pushbutton of the remote control and with a rotary movement of the remote control, with an inclination movement of the remote control, or with both a rotary movement of the remote control and an inclination movement of the remote control; and wherein the remote control system has an operating mode of a proportional type in which a corresponding movement of the mechanical drive proportional to the intensity or the speed is associated with pressure from a pushbutton of the remote control and with an intensity or a speed of a rotary movement of the remote control, with an inclination movement of the remote control, or with both a rotary movement of the remote control and an inclination movement of the remote control.
