  • Patent number: 5874789
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a circuit for integrating a local switch and a remote-control switch, primarily comprising a remote-control circuit, a first trigger circuit, a second trigger circuit, an integrating unit and a power circuit, in which the integrating unit further comprises two timer circuits, a local switch detecting circuit, a switching circuit and a power supplement circuit. When the circuit described above is in an initial state, in the event of the local switch does not operate within a certain time period, the control priority belongs to the remote-control circuit. When a user controls a load by remote control, the remote-control circuit will send a signal to reset the local switch detecting circuit and to make the output signal of the remote-control circuit be the control source of the switching circuit directly.
