  • Publication number: 20070155356
    Abstract: A control system having a compound function is disclosed. The control system is used for switching on an electronic apparatus and simultaneously makes the electronic apparatus implement an action required from an instruction signal. The control system uses a transmission body to transmit a compound signal to a receiving unit. The receiving unit transmits a switching signal and the instruction signal to a power control unit and a storage unit respectively after the receiving unit receives the compound signal. The electronic apparatus can be switched by the power control unit. The instruction signal which is temporarily stored in the stored unit is then transmitted to the electronic apparatus that makes the electronic apparatus to implement an action required from the instruction signal.
