Patent ID: 8159325

Claim:
A wireless remote control signal transfer method comprising: a reception step of receiving a wireless remote control signal repetitively transmitted by a wireless remote control transmitter with a first cyclic period while one given operation is being continuously performed on the wireless remote control transmitter; a step of analyzing the wireless remote control signal, received by said reception step, to provide code analysis data of the wireless remote control signal and repetitively transmitting the code analysis data of the wireless remote control signal to a wired transmission path with a second cyclic period, longer than said first cyclic period, as long as reception of the wireless remote control signal lasts with said first cyclic period; a re-transmission step of receiving the code analysis data from the wired transmission path and repetitively re-transmitting a wireless remote control signal, corresponding to the received code analysis data and also representing the wireless remote control signal transmitted by the wireless remote control transmitter, with said first cyclic period as long as reception of the code analysis data lasts with said second cyclic period; and a step of causing the wireless remote control signal, re-transmitted by said re-transmission step, to be received by operated equipment remote-controlled by the wireless remote control signal transmitter.
