REMOTE CONTROLLER COMPRISING A HIGHLIGHTER FUNCTION, ESPECIALLY WITH REGARDS TO DISTINGUISHING A PREDETERMINED INPUT KEY FROM OTHER INPUT KEYS

摘要

PURPOSE: A remote controller comprising a highlighter function is provided to add a highlight function to a frequently used input key, so that a user can easily search for the predetermined input key among plural input keys. CONSTITUTION: An input time detector(101) detects a length of a time when an operated input key is pressed. Plural luminous units(103) are arrayed on a lower end of plural input keys, respectively, and distinguish the input key which is pressed at more than a predetermined time from other input keys by lighting the input key. If the detected time is longer than a set time, a controller(107) lights up the luminous units(103).
