APPARATUS FOR SETTING UP CONTROL CODE OF UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL BY USING REACTION SIGNAL OF DEVICE TO BE CONTROLLED, AND METHOD THEREOF, CONCERNED WITH AUTOMATICALLY SETTING UP CONTROL CODE FOR DEVICE TO BE CONTROLLED THROUGH DETECTION OF REACTION SIGNAL EMITTED FROM THE DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus for setting up a control code of a universal remote control by using a reaction signal of a device to be controlled, and a method thereof are provided to easily and conveniently set up a control code for a random device to be controlled. CONSTITUTION: If key input is detected in an initialization standby mode of a universal remote control, it is judged whether the key input is a key signal for selecting entrance into a control code setup mode(S301-S304). If not, a control code corresponding to the key signal is transmitted. If so, the universal remote control enters the control code setup mode, and key input is scanned to judge whether input of the set function key is detected(S305-S306). If so, a memory accesses the control code for the corresponding key for continuously transmitting the control code, and it is judged whether a reaction signal of a device to be controlled is detected(S307-S309). If so, the current control code is automatically set up as a control code of the device to be controlled, and a display lamp is flickered at certain frequency(S312-S313). It is judged whether new function key is inputted(S310). It is judged whether certain time expires(S311). If so, the control code setup mode is terminated.
