APPARATUS FOR DAISY CHAIN CONNECTION, TV SYSTEM USING THE SAME AND CONTROL METHOD USING DAISY CHAIN CONNECTION

摘要

A Daisy chain connection device, a TV system capable of connecting the Daisy chain, and a control method using the same are provided to realize effective and convenient control by controlling the TV system as the only one existing remote controller if the target device is the TV system. A user interface unit(31) enables a user to set self-identification information and target device identification information, and to input various control signals. An input terminal and an output terminal(32,33) connect other devices as the Daisy chain. In the master mode, a master control unit(34) outputs inputted control signals as self-control signals according to the target device identification information, or outputs the inputted control signal together with the target device identification information through the output terminal. In the slave mode, a slave control unit(35) outputs the target control signals as the self-control signals according to the target identification information which is included in the received signals from the input terminal, or outputs the receive signals to the output terminal.
