Infrared remote control system having repeater type illumination unit

摘要

In an infrared remote control system including an infrared remote-controlled illumination unit having an illumination, at least one infrared remote-controlled electrical unit, a first infrared remote control transmitter for the illuminator and at least one second infrared remote control transmitter for the infrared remote-controlled electrical unit, the infrared remote-controlled illumination unit is constructed by a receiving unit for receiving an infrared control signal from one of the first and second infrared remote control transmitters, a driver for driving the illuminator; a retransmitting unit for retransmitting the infrared control signal to the infrared remote-controlled electrical unit, and a control unit for determining whether the infrared control signal received by the receiving unit is generated from the first infrared remote control transmitter or from the second infrared remote control transmitter, so that the control unit operates the driver to turn ON or OFF the illuminator when the infrared control signal is generated from the first infrared remote control transmitter, and the control unit operates the retransmitting unit to retransmit the infrared control signal to the second infrared-controlled electrical unit when the infrared control signal is generated from the second infrared remote control transmitter.
