  • Patent number: 8525803
    Abstract: A controller (101) and method for generating a key code enable key code generation by a single instance of manipulation of the controller (101) by a user, obviating repetitive keypad manipulation and thereby facilitating controller operation. A plurality of direction keys for determining a shifting direction of an object within an OSD image are provided beneath a surface of a touch pad (110) and are arranged to perform corresponding functions of the touch pad (110).
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080282288
    Abstract: Provided is a remote control unit for remotely controlling an external device. The remote control unit includes a key input part having a plurality of keys, a wireless communication module, a memory device, a display part, and a controller. The wireless communication module transmits/receives data to/from the external device. The memory device stores key codes controlling operations of the external device, and electronic program guide information transmitted from the external device. The display part displays the electronic program guide information. The controller allows the electronic program guide information stored in the memory device to be output through the display part when a predetermined key of the key input part is input, and allows program information selected by manipulation of the key input part to be transmitted to the external device through the wireless communication module.
