Display Device Automatic Remote Control Code Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when setting control codes for integrated remote controllers, as existing methods require manual input or waveform capture, making it difficult to control multiple external devices with a single remote controller.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a storage unit, communication unit, and processor that automatically detects and transmits control code sets to an integrated remote controller based on received remote control signals, allowing for automatic setting and providing feedback to enhance user convenience.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual input or waveform capture method is used to set control code set, then the integrated remote controller can be set up, but the setting process becomes complex and inconvenient for users
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic detection and setting of control code sets without requiring user intervention. The display device automatically detects the external device type and transmits the appropriate control code set to the integrated remote controller, eliminating the need for users to manually input manufacturer/model information or capture waveforms.
Solution Approach 2:
The control code sets for multiple external devices are pre-stored in the display device's memory. When an external device is connected, the system automatically retrieves and transmits the corresponding pre-prepared control code set to the integrated remote controller, avoiding the need for users to perform setting operations at the time of connection.
2Extent of automation
If automatic detection and transmission of control code set is implemented, then user convenience is enhanced, but the display device and integrated remote controller require more complex functionality
Solution Approach 1:
The display device serves multiple functions: it acts as the primary display device, stores control code sets for multiple external devices, detects external device types, and transmits control code sets to the integrated remote controller. This multi-functionality is achieved by integrating these capabilities into a single system rather than requiring separate dedicated devices for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The display device acts as an intermediary between the external devices and the integrated remote controller. It receives remote control signals from the integrated remote controller, detects the intended external device, retrieves the appropriate control code set, and transmits it back to the integrated remote controller, thereby mediating the control process.

AI summary
Disclosed is a display device. The display device comprises: a storage unit for storing control code sets corresponding to each of a plurality of remote controllers; a communication unit for receiving a first remote controller signal from a remote controller capable of controlling an external device; and a processor implementing controlling for automatically detecting a control code set corresponding to the remote controller from among the stored control code sets, on the basis of the received first remote controller signal, and transmitting the detected control code set to an integrated remote controller.
