Abstract
A codeset is described in a Public Codeset Communication Format (PCCF) as a format block including a plurality of fields having readily decipherable values, such as ASCII character values. One field is a mark/space information field that includes a sequence of mark time indicators and space time indicators for an operational signal of the codeset. A second field is a signal characteristic information field for the operational signal. Signal characteristic information may include carrier on/off information, repeat frame information, toggle control information, and last frame information. The PCCF is a codeset interchange format of general applicability.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- describing a codeset in a public codeset communication format (PCCF) as a format block comprising a plurality fields having human decipherable values wherein one of the fields is a mark/space information field for an operational signal and another of the fields is a signal characteristic information field for the operational signal, wherein the signal characteristic information field includes information taken from the group consisting of:
- carrier information, information on how to repeat the operational signal, toggle control information, last frame information;
- and
- providing the PCCF format block to a controlling device adapted to use the PCCF format block to generate the operational signal.
A controling device having programming for generating an operational signal using a codeset defined in a public codeset communication format (PCCF) as a format block comprising a plurality fields having human decipherable values wherein one of the fields is a mark/space information field for an operational signal and another of the fields is a signal characteristic information field for the operational signal, wherein the signal characteristic information field includes information taken from the group consisting of:
- carrier information, information on how to repeat the operational signal, toggle control information, last frame information.
