Method for using union remote controller information providing system

Abstract

A method of a union remote controller and a union remote controller information providing system and a method for operating the same is disclosed, in which various electronic apparatuses are controlled just by downloading simple remote controller information regardless of whether an electronic apparatus is on the market, kinds, manufacture companies, and model names. The union remote controller includes a data base for storing remote controller information correspondingly to manufacture companies and models; and a server for operating an Internet site which obtains remote controller information provided from manufacture companies of each electronic apparatus, stores them in a data base, and provides remote controller information according to a user's request. Since it is possible to control multiple electronic apparatuses with one remote controller, and it is also possible to control products which will be on the market later by simply downloading data, there is no temporal and economical inconvenience for a user to maintain a number of remote controllers.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of the Korean Application No. P2000-79647 filed on Dec. 21, 2000, which is hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a union remote controller, and more particularly, to a union remote controller and a union remote controller information providing system and a method for using the same.[0004]2. Discussion of the Related Art[0005]Generally, a remote controller is an apparatus which converts an operator's commands into an infrared ray signal of a predetermined code form and transmits the signal, so that an infrared ray receiving terminal of a corresponding electronic apparatus receives and controls the infrared ray signal. At this time, electronic apparatuses have different code systems according to manufacture companies and product models, etc. Also, the electronic apparatuses have different codes according to their function even in case of the same produc...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

To use multiple remote controllers correspondingly to products troubles a user, and it is also difficult to maintain the multiple remote controllers.

Recently, even though union remote controllers for controlling some electronic products by unifying them are on the market, the union remote controllers have limited controlling scopes, thereby causing a problem in that they do not actively cope with codes which will be changed later.
