Abstract
A remote control device configured to control an electronic device including: a plurality of input keys; a signal transmitter; and a processor configured to: identify a time interval between a first radio signal and a second radio signal based on a length of the first radio signal, and based on one of the plurality of input keys being consecutively selected, control the signal transmitter to repeatedly output the second radio signal corresponding to the selected input key according to the identified time interval, where the first radio signal is configured to control an external electronic device communicating with the electronic device based on the second radio signal received from the remote control device.
Claims20
A remote control device configured to control an electronic device comprising:
- a plurality of input keys;
- a signal transmitter;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- identify a time interval between a first radio signal and a second radio signal based on a length of the first radio signal, and
- based on one of the plurality of input keys being consecutively selected, control the signal transmitter to repeatedly output the second radio signal corresponding to the selected input key according to the identified time interval,
- wherein the first radio signal is configured to control an external electronic device communicating with the electronic device based on the second radio signal received from the remote control device.
A control method of a remote control device controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
- identifying a time interval between a first radio signal and a second radio signal based on a length of the first radio signal;
- and
- based on one of a plurality of input keys of the remote control device being consecutively selected, repeatedly outputting the second radio signal corresponding to the selected input key according to the identified time interval,
- wherein the first radio signal is configured to control an external electronic device based on the second radio signal received from the remote control device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store computer instructions for a remote control device controlling an electronic device to perform an operation when executed by a processor of the remote control device, the operation comprising:
- identifying a time interval between a first radio signal and a second radio signal based on a length of the first radio signal;
- and
- based on one of a plurality of input keys of the remote control device being consecutively selected, repeatedly outputting the second radio signal corresponding to the selected input key according to the identified time interval,
- wherein the first radio signal is configured to control an external electronic device based on the second radio signal received from the remote control device.
