The invention relates to the field of electronics, namely to the means of remote control of industrial and consumer electronic devices, and is aimed at ensuring the convenience of using the remote.

Besides the invention relates to devices and ways of functioning of TV receivers.

The idea remote control arose in the 19th century, when the Serbian scientist Nikola Tesla developed principles of remote control and patented the first such system (patent №613809). In 1882 in his speech before scientists of the Royal Academy, he demonstrated the possibility of remote switching on and off electrical appliances. For this scientist used radio signals.

Widely known way to control television receivers with the help of remote control that contains a set of buttons. The disadvantage of these devices is the growth of the inconvenience of use, while the number buttons on the remote control.

Known patent RF №2127019 where the remote control contains a receiver-transmitter, a microprocessor data bus, memory, and operating system, a graphical display, button, keyboard system and manipulator.

Integration of TV and computer with broadband Internet access, is the modern trend in the market of TV sets. Modern TV-Internet-capable launched a new television aimed at maximum ease of use and satisfaction of all desires of the consumer. The most important thing for any service that adds to the TV, the Internet, there are applications. Mandatory set: web browsing, social networking, online service for doing microblogging, video hosting, with the ability to add, view and comment on those or other videos, weather, news feeds, and so on. TV finally ceases to be simply a device that shows the images supplied from different sources, becoming a home entertainment centre ["From the PC to home networks and mobile devices" Magazine "Computer-Press, http://www.compress.ru-/article.aspx?id=9622&iid=40].

Application management in these TVs perform using a cursor that is displayed on the screen.

Modern remote control TV sets with support of the Internet is rapidly improving. If until 2010 cockpits contained a large number of buttons and even the display, the modern consoles have a minimum number of buttons and a variety of tools cursor control.

For example, Google offers to use as a remote control touchscreen smartphone based on Android OS. The obvious disadvantages of these remotes are high cost, complexity in the development and further use ["How to control the TV from a smartphone", Internet-magazine "HDTV.ru" http://www.hdtv.ru/-articles/10957-iphone android.html].

Lebedev Studio in Russian Federation has developed a keyboard "Mini-six." This remote control is equipped with three pairs of buttons size 15 x 15 mm colour LCD screens that can display different images in accordance with the appointed driver commands. Power and connectivity to a PC via the USB port. ["Lebedev Studio prepares keyboard "Mini-six"a", Internet-magazine "3D-News" http://www.3dnews.ru/tags-/%D0%BF%D1%83%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%82]

Lack of control is the lack of a manipulator that allows to control the cursor.

Another example of simplification and miniaturization can serve as the remote control of a media player, Apple TV second generation, released in 2010. The player supports streaming Internet TV content. It connects to an external any TV. To it are transferred HD-videos, pictures, and movies from the online iTunes store, services, YouTube and Flickr etc. Remote ring contains the sensor with the Central button in the center that functions on a single-button Apple mouse and allowing somehow control the cursor using the ring sensor, and two buttons - menu (on the left) and start-stop right ["Television Apple TV MC572 (2010" http://cplaza.ru/catalog/apple-tv/16144.html].

The disadvantage of this solution is the lack of capability to change channels, quick disconnect and regulation of the sound when watching regular TV mode TV sets. These functions must be performed with the proper remote control TV, which is not always convenient.

In 2011, the company LG Electronics has demonstrated TV family with SMART remote control Magic Motion. On the remote control contains three buttons (on/off the TV, "menu", mute "MUTE"two dip switch for audio controls (left) and change channels (right)and ring switch with the button in the center for configuration and management menu. This combined remote television mouse and simplified remote control, which operate continuously and simultaneously. Principles cursor similar computer manipulators of the " mouse " type. To set the cursor on the screen TV in the desired location, just put down the remote control, and to make a choice - just press one button. In the remote control integrated motion sensor that transmits signals via infrared channel to the receiver. The screen displays a large cursor - leading hand, we manage them, like a mouse. In fact, the process does not differ from the control using the same wireless mouse, only instead of a mouse - a kind of "laser pointer" ["Review LG Smart TV: the future of television in Russia" http://hi-tech.mail.ru/review/misc/lg smart tv-rev.html].

The disadvantage of this solution is the scale factor. To manage such a control TV from a distance uncomfortable, especially in the prone position. Inconvenience grow with increasing distance, and with the reduction of size of the display.

In the result of the integration of the computer to the TV reception, management and access to numerous functions became expedient to be carried out through the interface of the computer by using a remote control with the device cursor control on the TV screen (the joystick) and several control buttons and keys.

Our research has shown that the most convenient remote management tool, the Internet-TV receivers, and computers are control panels with microjustice.

Prototypes are the solutions outlined in the following patents

Prototype 1.

Known U.S. patent US7170420 "Ergonomic remote control TV" to send control signals to your TV, VCR or DVD. On the panel (the patent of the control knob) there are many switches for control TV with one hand, enable you to control the sound volume of the TV on / off, mute, channels switching (up and down). Control knob can be programmed by the user. Microprocessor saves user-selected programs and TV channels, and allows you to enable their index finger.

The disadvantage of the prototype is the lack of means of direct cursor type, track stick, which complicates the management of computer Internet TV and navigation network.

Prototype 2.

Known US patent US 7379052 "Wrist control devices of the computer on which the device is attached to the arm strap or by other means, and control devices can be trackball, joystick, touch pad, or other device that can be operated by the thumb of the user and, in combination with one or more switches press a finger tips that provides functional equivalence standard computer mouse or trackball.

The disadvantage of this device is the absence of a direct means of control TV's mode of viewing of telecasts, for example, direct sound management and switching channels, which makes it inconvenient for the management of Internet TV in playback mode normal channels.

The technical result of the invention is to create a convenient way remote control electronic devices, combining both the computer and the other known device, such as a TV with Internet access, or other complex control system, for example, smart home.

A method is proposed for the management of electronic devices and remote control for its implementation.

There are ways to control electronic devices lies in the fact that the management of electronic appliances such as computers, television receivers and/or other devices that are carried out by clicking on buttons or the track stick placed on the remote control (RC).

The inventive method of controlling electronic devices is quite different from the known solutions, which are as follows:

1. The difference according to claim 1 1 formula

The management of electronic devices using the remote control can operate at least two different modes, including:

- in the mode of the computer mouse (RCM);

- and/or in the mode of remote control TV receiver (CDU);

- and/or control another device, such as a smart house.

At the same time, each individually control method is implemented in the prototype 1 and 2, but the idea quickly switch console from one convenient and usual mode (traditional RCU) in another convenient and usual mode (traditional computer mouse) is novel and patentable difference, not in the known solutions.

2. The difference according to claim 1 2 formula

Switching the remote control from one mode to the other and back is carried out by:

- or by activating the switch modes;

- or by activating the track stick.

While the activation of switching buttons and the track stick carried out in various ways, for example, how long press or by way of double-clicking, or otherwise. (Under long press means pressing lasting more than 0.4 C. under long press the track stick it means a long-term retention in the most rejected position).

The difference according to claim 1 2 formula, together with honors 1 item 1 of the formula gives a new effect quickly and conveniently switch the mode of management of traditional TV in the control mode of the computer, and back, which is not in the known solutions.

3. The difference of 3 according to claim 1 formula

The functions of the other buttons (except switching buttons and the track stick defined mode of the console.

The ability to switch a switch from one mode to another with the help of special buttons, of course, is present in normal consoles, where in normal mode, you control TV and sound, and in configuration mode to configure other settings of the TV, and switching from mode to mode is carried out, usually by pressing the button "menu". However, it uses different controls. For example, moving a point by point "menu" is carried out, usually by means of ring 4-position switch with the select button in the center, i.e. additional elements, not participating in the process of operation in the previous mode. The difference of 3 according to claim 1 of the formula when the instrument control in all modes use the same elements - two buttons and the track stick, in principle, is not new. It is present, for example, in a normal computer or in the mouse, where the buttons have different functions when running different programs, however, with regard to this method, and together with other differences in the method according to claim 1 it is new, because on the remote control was not previously used.

4. The difference in paragraph 2 formula

In the mode of a computer mouse to move the cursor on the screen of a television set or computer in the right direction is carried out by clicking on the track stick in the same direction.

5. The difference according to the item 3 of the formula

In the mode of the computer mouse when activated (single-click, double click, or hold down) buttons corresponding to the left and right buttons of a computer mouse, run the standard left and right buttons on a standard two-button mouse.

Differences according to claim 2, 3 formulas are new only for the present method according to claim 1, as described actions are known and used in computer mice or joysticks. However, in the way in using two - or three-mode control boards were not used and therefore in this area are new.

6. The difference according to claim 4 formula

In the mode of the computer mouse press and hold the buttons for the left and right buttons of a computer mouse, for example, lasting more than 0.5 C, pressed the button switches to the state constantly pressing keys on a standard mouse, then any click switched them in the state released the keys on a standard mouse.

When the cursor control joystick with a thumb and there is need to allocate a piece of the screen issue occurs simultaneously holding pressed the left or right button of the remote control. To solve the problem, the proposed action by clause 4 of the formula.

This difference allows to imitate the movement of the cursor while holding down the button of the "mouse" when using remotes with joysticks.

Differences according to claim 4 formula is new, as neither in computer mice, nor in any other known methods of management with the use of dual-mode control panels these actions has not previously been used.

7. The difference in paragraph 5 of the formula

In the mode of remote control TV receiver:

- adjusts the intensity of sound is done by clicking on the track stick in the direction of one (first) axis (for example, left or right;

- change the number of the channel viewed by clicking on the track stick in the direction of another (second) axis (for example, up, or down);

- enable sound if it was disabled, or off sound, if it was enabled, by clicking on one, for example, the left, the remote button, and the inclusion of a television set (or computer), if it was disabled, or off if it has been enabled by pressing and holding (for example, lasting more than 1 s) on another button, for example, right.

This difference in paragraph 5 of the formula is new only for the present method according to claim 1, as they are known and used in the prototype 2 to manage the computer. However, in the way in electronic devices and, in particular, TVs using two - or three-mode control panels these actions were not used and therefore in this area are new.

8. The difference 6 formulas

In the mode of remote control television with processor calculates the direction pressed (PRESS) on the corner you track stick (CPM) by the following formulas:

- If the angle pressing falls within the range from 316 to 45 degrees, that's a mouse is by pressing the up (UP)

If CPM>316<45, then PRESS = UP;

- If the angle pressing falls within the range from 46 to 135 degrees, this keystroke is considered by pressing the right (RIGHT)

If CPM>46<135, then PRESS = RIGHT;

- If the angle pressing falls within the range from 136 to 225 degrees, that's a mouse is pressed down (DOWN)

If CPM>136<225, then PRESS = DOWN;

- If the angle pressing falls within the range from 225 to 315 degrees, this keystroke is considered by pressing the left (LEFT)

If CPM>226<315, then PRESS = LEFT.

When getting the value of the angle pressing in intermediate values, the processor rounds the value to the nearest larger (or smaller as option values.

The difference in the paragraph 6 of the formula gives a new positive effect convenient and accurate sound control and TV in the mode of remote control television receiver using the track stick.

These differences in the known solutions and therefore they are new.

9. The difference in paragraph 7 of the formula

In the mode of remote control TV activation and calling on the setup menu screen television receiver carried out using the method of activation of the button switch modes, different from the activation method according to claim 1, and closing the settings menu is done by re-enable the button of switching of modes in any way activation, for example, a simple single, long, or double click.

10. The difference in item 8 of the formula

In the mode of remote control from the television and activated the settings menu television receiver navigation menu settings perform by clicking on the track stick in the desired direction, and activate the menu item is produced by pressing one of the buttons, except the button of switching of modes.

Differences in paragraph 7 and 8 of the formula is unknown in the prototypes and therefore in the use of dual-mode control panels electronic appliances are new.

Remote control for realization of the offered method of control electronic devices contain at least the chassis, placed inside the card from the microprocessor and the system of data transmission in controlled electronic unit and a set of buttons and the track stick connected to the microprocessor buses data exchange.

The main differences of the remote control from a well-known are the following.

11. The difference of 1 to item 9 of the formula

The console contains two track stick button of switching of operation modes remote and two buttons, functions of which are determined by the mode of the console.

The combination of controls in the form of a set that contains: two-track stick button of switching of operation modes remote and two buttons, functions of which are determined by the mode of the console is minimal, but sufficient set that allows convenient management of electronic devices, as in the mode of the computer mouse, and in the mode of remote control from the television, and provide a rapid transition from one mode to another. This combination of control elements not found in the known technical decisions and therefore is a new hallmark.

12. The difference of 2 to item 9 of the formula

The microprocessor contains part of the control program, which ensure the work of the panel at least two different modes, including:

- in the mode of the computer mouse,

- in the mode of remote control television,

- in the mode of a device.

Part of the control program, which ensure the work of the panel at least two different modes associated software and circuit by means of button switch modes and/or track stick and turn enabled or disabled in their activation.

This difference when the microprocessor contains part of the control program, which ensure the work of the panel at least two different modes, in principle, is not new. It is present, for example, in a normal computer or in the mouse, where parts of different programs on different encode button actions. However, remote controls, such a decision has not previously been used, and therefore can be considered new.

13. The difference in paragraph 10 of the formula

Buttons, functions of which are determined by the mode of the console, located below the track stick to the left and to the right of it, and the mode button is located between them.

14. The difference in paragraph 11 of the formula

Buttons, functions of which are determined by the mode of the console, located above the track stick to the left and to the right of it, and the mode button is located between them.

15. The difference para.12 formula

Buttons, functions of which are determined by the mode of the console, located below the track stick to the left and to the right of it, and the mode button is located above the track stick.

Differences 14-16 characterize different variants of placement of buttons and a joystick on the body surface are new and only set of features that distinguish the claimed remote control.

17. The difference in 14 of the formula

The buttons and the track stick equipped with auxiliary lighting in the form of photodiodes or pictograms, including the display mode of the console and function control items in different operating modes of the control panel.

18. The difference indicated in paragraph 15 of the formula

As data transmission systems in controlled electronic device uses a radio channel.

Differences between 17 and 18 in principle known, but in the framework of the claimed device console are new.

Thus, there is a sufficient number of significant differences, allowing to characterize the proposed solution as a new invention.

Description of the invention is illustrated by the figures 1-5.

In figures 1-3 shows a device remote control for realization of the described way to control electronic devices.

In figures 1-3 shows used to manage controlled electronic unit 1, remote control (RC) 2. Managed by an electronic device can be, for example, a computer attached to a network or modern TV receiver with the possibility of connecting to the Internet.

The remote control includes a housing with 3 top cover 4, placed inside 3 cost of 5, which is hosting the microprocessor 6 7 memory and data transmission system in a controlled electronic unit 8, and United with the microprocessor 6 tyres exchange data 9 10 track stick button mode switch 11, the left button 12 and the right button 13.

The buttons on 12 and 13 are defined mode of the console.

In memory 7 microprocessor 6 are part of the control program, which provides remote is not less than in two different modes, including in the mode of the computer mouse, remote control television tuner or other device.

This part of the program related software and circuit by means of button switch modes and/or track stick and turn on or off when activating the mode button or track stick.

In this mode, the joystick is 10 adjusting the sound intensity and changing rooms viewed channel, which is marked with pictograms.

Button 11 controls the sound and button 13 on/off TV or computer by pressing and holding.

Button 11 as well as in the previous mode by changing modes of operation and enter the menus.

Describes how to control electronic devices and remote control for its implementation will be made jointly.

Remote control for realization of works in the following way.

The microprocessor 6 use of tyres communicate 9 is connected with the 10 and track stick buttons 11, 12 and 13. Thus, with the help of tyres exchange data 9 microprocessor 6 constantly polls the status of the track stick and buttons. Any changes of their status are analyzed by the microprocessor 6 and processed with the help of the software available in its memory 7.

The inclusion controlled electronic unit 1, if it was disabled, or disable it if it was included, is performed by pressing and holding (for example, lasting more than 1 s), for example, the right button 13 console 2.

Because the microprocessor 6 analyzes the state of the buttons 11, 12 and 13, and measures the time is pressing, we find that time the button is pressed 13 exceed 0.5-1.0 second, it interprets this event as an event on/off controlled electronic unit 1.

While the microprocessor 6 generates code for enabling/disabling controlled electronic unit 1 and sends it to the system of data transmission in controlled electronic unit 8. At the same time the remote control is included in a mode in which it was turned off previously, for example, in a computer mouse.

Switching of operation modes remote control 1 conducted, for example, by activating the button mode switch 11.

While the activation of the button 11 on tires communicate 9 enters the microprocessor 6, which reads the information from memory 7 and activates the part of the control program, which provides processing of the console in a new mode. It modifies the functions of the buttons on 12 and 13 and work mode the track stick. For example, if the remote control 2 was in the mode of the computer mouse, after the activation of the button switch modes 11 he passes in a mode of remote control from the television.

These same steps can be done by activating the track stick 10, for example, by way of a long or a double-clicking or otherwise. Return to the previous mode by re-running the activation button mode switch 11 or track stick 10 of the above ways.

In the mode of a computer mouse to move the cursor on the screen of a television set or computer in the right direction is carried out by clicking on the track stick in the same direction.

At that, the track stick 10 generates control signals, which on tires 9 enter the microprocessor 7, processed and transmitted in controlled electronic unit 1 on the data transmission system 8.

In the mode of the computer mouse when activated (single-click, double-click or hold pressed down) buttons corresponding to the left and right buttons of a computer mouse, run the standard left and right buttons on a standard two-button mouse.

This remote works as follows.

When activated (single-click, double-click or hold pressed down) buttons corresponding to the left 11 and 12 right buttons of a computer mouse, signals from buttons 11, or 12 on tires communicate 9 enter the microprocessor 6, which reads the information from memory 7 and activates the part of the management programs that implement the standard left and right buttons on a standard two-button mouse. Calculated team microprocessor 7 passes in controlled electronic unit 1 on the data transmission system 8.

In the mode of the computer mouse press and hold the buttons for the left and right buttons of a computer mouse, for example, with a duration of more than 0.5 C., pressed the button switches to the state constantly pressing keys on a standard mouse, then any click switched them in the state released the keys on a standard mouse.

This remote works as follows.

The microprocessor 6 analyzes the tapping 11 and 12, and a long press on the key corresponding to the left 11 and 12 right buttons of a computer mouse, for example, lasting more than 0.5 C. generates code corresponding to the condition of constantly pressing keys on a standard mouse and sends this code using the data transmission system 8 in controlled electronic unit 1, after which continues to analyze the state of the buttons. At repeated any buttons are pressed 12 and 13 microprocessor 6 generates code corresponding to the state of export (not down) keys on a standard mouse and sends this code using the data transmission system 8 in controlled electronic unit 1.

In the mode of remote control from the television microprocessor 6 use of tyres communicate 9 constantly polls the status and buttons 11, 12 and 13 and 10 track stick and calculates the angle of his pressing CPM. In calculating the angle pressing CPM, the microprocessor calculates the direction pressed (PRESS) by the following formulas:

- If the angle pressing falls within the range from 316 to 45 degrees, that's a mouse is by pressing the up (UP)

If CPM>316<45, then PRESS = UP;

- If the angle pressing falls within the range from 46 to 135 degrees, this keystroke is considered by pressing the right (RIGHT)

If CPM>46<135, then PRESS = RIGHT;

- If the angle pressing falls within the range from 136 to 225 degrees, that's a mouse is pressed down (DOWN)

If CPM>136<225, then PRESS = DOWN;

If the angle pressing falls within the range from 225 to 315 degrees, this keystroke is considered by pressing the left (LEFT)

If CPM>226<315, then PRESS = LEFT.

When getting the value of the angle pressing in intermediate values, the processor rounds the value to the nearest larger (or smaller as option values.

In the mode of remote control TV receiver adjusts the intensity of sound is done by clicking on the track stick in the direction of one (first) axis (e.g., left, or right).

This remote works as follows.

If the direction of pressing PRESS line PRESS the left = LEFT or right PRESS = RIGHT, adjusts the intensity of the sound, with the microprocessor 6 measures the time you track stick and every 0.1-0.5 seconds generates code change the volume for data transmission system 8 in controlled electronic unit 1, the corresponding change the sound volume on one gradation. However, changing the volume is carried out proportionally to the time pressure. Moreover, if, for example, pressing the left implemented, the code change the volume corresponds to the volume down button on the unit, and if the press is right, the volume per unit of gradation.

In the mode of remote control from the television to change the number of the channel viewed by clicking on the track stick in the direction of another (second) axis (for example, up, or down).

This remote works as follows.

If the direction of pressing PRESS line PRESS up = UP or down PRESS = DOWN, you change the values of the connected channel. While the microprocessor 6 measures the time you track stick and every 0.1-0.5 seconds generates code changes rooms active channel for data transmission system 8 in controlled electronic unit 1, the corresponding change the channel number by one.

When clicking on a track stick up in generated code corresponding to decrease the channel number by one, and when you press the track stick down is generated code corresponding to increase the channel number by one.

In the mode of remote control TV receiver enable sound if it was disabled, or off sound, if it was enabled, by clicking on one, for example, the left, the remote button, and the inclusion of a television set (or computer), if it was disabled, or off if it has been enabled by pressing and holding (for example, lasting more than 1 s), the other button, for example, right.

The work of the panel in this mode was previously described.

From a programming point of view it is a set of standard operations, similar to the previous act, the meaning of which consists in generating and sending code associated event in response to itself the events, described in advance in the programme. The events program is strictly correspond to the actions proposed method of controlling electronic devices carried out using the proposed remote to implement the process. The answers to these events correspond to those actions that you would like to make managed by an electronic device.

With the use of this standard technique the implementation console works in the mode of remote control from the television when the activation and calling on the setup menu screen television receiver carried out using the method of activation of the button switch modes, different from the activation method according to claim 1, and closing the settings menu is done by re-enable the button of switching of modes in any way activation, for example, a simple single, long, or double click.

Similarly implemented the work of the console when activated the settings menu, a television set when your navigation menu settings perform by clicking on the track stick in the desired direction, and activate the menu item is produced by pressing one of the buttons, except the button of switching of modes.

To reduce the description of these modes are not described in detail, as their implementation with the help of the proposed console differs little from the realization of the modes described above.

With ergonomic design remote control 2 may vary with the difference that the buttons functions which are determined by the mode of the console, located below the track stick to the left and to the right of it, and the mode button is located between them, or are located above the track stick to the left and to the right of it, and the mode button is located between them, or are located above the track stick to the left and to the right of it, and the mode button is located below the track stick, or are located below the track stick to the left and to the right of it, and the mode button is located above the track stick.

For convenience of remote control buttons and the track stick equipped with auxiliary lighting in the form of photodiodes or pictograms, including the display mode of the console and function control items in different operating modes of the control panel.

For ease of use by the console as the system of data transmission in controlled electronic device uses a radio channel.

This saves users from having to point the remote at the TV or computer. The use of the radio channel allows you to control electronic devices from any position, including from another room or from under the blanket, which is often very convenient.

Thus, the present invention provides a positive effect consisting in the convenience of management of complex electronic devices, such as computers and television sets with Internet access.

As can be seen from the description of the method and the circuit is very simple and technologically multifunctional that will provide them with the low price and high competitive advantages.

Possessing a unique combination of simplicity, low cost, reliability and versatility, the proposed method of management and control for its realization will find the widest application in our household.
