| A remote controller for controlling the operation of a electronic appliance has a function or appearance which is changed by adding auxiliary modules to a base unit, allowing a user to adapt the remote controller to his specific needs. Once the module is coupled to the base unit an additional electronic appliance may be controlled. The auxiliary modules may be functional, including interface circuitry and adding more capability to the remote controller or non-functional, having no electrical circuitry. The functional modules may include but are not limited to display screens, speakers, keyboards, etc. The non-functional modules are added for the purpose of changing the appearance of the remote and/or for ease of handling or for attaching other accessories. | ||||||

The electroluminescent lamp assembly includes a substrate having a relatively large lamp receiving surface and relatively smaller lamps. At least one of these smaller lamps is a multi-layer sheet-form electroluminescent lamp having a sheet-form layer containing electroluminescent particles, the layer disposed between a pair of sheet-form conductive layers, one of which is transparent for transmitting light emitted from the particles. The electroluminescent lamps each have conductors exposed for engagement and connection with conductive traces on the lamp receiving surface of the substrate in a surface mounted face-to-face arrangement and are distributed in spaced-apart relationship according to a preselected illumination pattern and connected to the conductive traces. | ||||||

| A user configurable control device is particularly suitable for household devices such as remote control transmitters. A variety of function control elements in the form of keys are provided to the consumer who selects a desired set of the control elements. Each of the control elements has a unique pattern of projections molded into the bottom surface. These projections are in operative alignment with an array of membrane switches disposed on a switching substrate within the control device. The control device includes a front panel that is perforated with a pattern of slots. Each of the control elements has a pair of projecting tabs that look the element onto the control panel so that it is securely retained thereon, but may be released if desired. The projections on the bottom of the element extend through the slots in the front panel to the switching substrate below. The particular pattern of projections is unique to each control element and the corresponding pattern of switch contacts closed upon actuation of the control element determines the function that is performed. | ||||||

| 209 | Television remote control adaptor | US3514 | 1993-01-12 | US5408044A | 1995-04-18 | Alan M. Spiegel |
| A television remote control adaptor includes a protective housing for receiving the remote control unit and oversized pushbuttons for manipulating the remote control unit from outside of the adaptor. The television remote control is held in precise orientation of the adaptor by a spring retainer clip. An aperture at one end of the housing permits the infrared transmitters of the remote control unit to activate a television set. An open mesh is attached across the closed face of the housing adjacent to the remote control pushbuttons. Four or five adaptor buttons are attached to the outside of the mesh and held in place by a pair of leg protrusions that engage the mesh. A longer, thinner protrusion, also attached to the adaptor button, passes through the mesh and contacts the underlying remote control pushbuttons when the adaptor button is depressed by the user. The housing not only protects the remote control unit but it also makes it possible for the pushbuttons to be manipulated by individuals having limited visual acuity or manual dexterity. | ||||||

| 212 | Remote control unit with hierarchical selection | US47890 | 1987-05-08 | US4843386A | 1989-06-27 | Johann Wolf |
| In a remote control unit for modifying the operating states of physically spaced operating units such as the volume control of a stereo system, the color control of a television set and the brightness control of a lighting fixture, a first key is actuated to call up in a predetermined sequence the different floors of a building in which the operating devices are disposed. The floors are identified on a display as they are called up. Upon, actuation of a second key, further actuation of the first key calls up the different rooms on the last-displayed floor of the building, the rooms being identified on the display. Upon another actuation of the second key, yet further actuation of the first key calls up the operating devices or units disposed within the last room called up by actuating the first key. A reset key is provided for returning to the first member of the uppermost hierarchical grouping (i.e., the first-displayed floor). Other keys are provided on the remote control unit for modifying the operating state of a device selected by actuation of the first two keys. | ||||||

| 214 | Resilient housing for remote controllers | US122386 | 1987-11-19 | US4762227A | 1988-08-09 | Robert C. Patterson |
| A resilient enclosure for receiving a remote signaling, hand-held assembly includes a layered resilient foam pad comprising a rectangular base onto which a segmented layer is adhered. One or more parts of the layer are then removed to define an opening in which the hand-held assembly is received. A two-ply transparent cover may then be positioned over the pad having segments of the interior ply thereof, removed in correspondence with the remaining segments of the pad. The interply adhesive thus exposed is then useful to secure the cover to the pad. | ||||||
