Clone Remote Control Single-Button Duplication Method
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current remote control duplication methods are complex and require multiple button presses, making them difficult for non-specialized operators to perform and increasing manufacturing costs and time, while also lacking independent verification of copy correctness.
Innovation Solution
A method that allows remote control duplication by pressing a single button on the clone remote control, using a processor and memory-equipped central unit with a transceiver and signalling device to simplify the process and enable independent verification of copy correctness, with four procedures (ordinary, identical, fixed code, and copy on all buttons) that can be initiated based on button press sequences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple button presses are required for duplication, then the duplication process becomes more reliable, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The clone remote control performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting and storing the original remote's codes without requiring multiple manual button presses. The system pre-configures itself to receive and memorize the signal sequence, transforming a complex multi-step manual process into a single-button automatic operation.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple button presses are required for duplication, then the duplication accuracy improves, but the time required for duplication increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical button-pressing system with an electronic signal detection and processing system. The clone remote control uses its transceiver to automatically capture and analyze the original remote's radio frequency signals, substituting manual mechanical operations with automated electronic processes that are both faster and equally accurate.
3Measurement precision
If external analyzing devices are used for verification, then the measurement precision of copy correctness improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The clone remote control performs self-verification by independently comparing the copied codes against the original remote's signal characteristics. The system uses its own transceiver and processor to validate the duplication accuracy without requiring external analyzing devices, making the verification process as simple as pressing a single button on each remote.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for duplicating a remote control and to a remote control obtained with this method; according to the method, a clone remote control (1) provided with a first series of buttons (10, 11, 12, 13) and at least one signalling device (14) is configured so as to memorize in the first series of buttons (10, 11, 12, 13) a number of signals to be emitted corresponding to the signals emitted by an original remote control (2) by means of a second series of buttons (20, 21, 22, 23); the method is characterized in that the clone remote control (1) is provided with a resident program capable of memorizing the signals on the buttons based on instructions received by pressing a single button (10) of the first series of buttons (10, 11, 12, 13).
