Remote control with temperature sensor for air conditioner

A remote control system comprising:

• a wireless handheld RC (1) comprising a first processor (10), a keypad (12), a temperature sensor (13), and an RF unit (15);
• and
• a receiver (3) mounted on an air conditioner and comprising an RF unit (32), a second processor (30), and a master processing unit (33),
• wherein the first processor (10) is adapted to compare temperature measured by the temperature sensor (13) with a set temperature of the air conditioner, the first processor (10) is adapted to send a temperature value to the RF unit (15) or a temperature adjustment instruction to the RF unit (15) if the measured temperature is not within a predetermined range of the set temperature, the RF unit (15) is adapted to transmit the temperature value or the temperature adjustment instruction to the RF unit (32) via RF signals, the second processor (30) is adapted to receive the RF signals from the RF unit (32), and the second processor (30) is adapted to either (i) convert the RF signals into IR signals with RF data being converted into corresponding IR data such that the master processing unit (33) is adapted to receive the IR signals from the second processor (30) and perform a temperature adjustment of the air conditioner if there is a sending of the temperature adjustment instruction to the RF unit (15) or (ii) send the RF signals to the master processing unit (33).

A wireless handheld remote control comprising:

• a processor (10);
• a radio frequency (RF) unit (11);
• a keypad (12);
• and
• a temperature sensor (13);
• wherein the processor (10) is adapted to compare temperature measured by the temperature sensor (13) with a set temperature of an air conditioner, the processor (10) is adapted to send a temperature value to the RF unit (11) or a temperature adjustment instruction to the RF unit (11) if the measured temperature is not within a predetermined range of the set temperature, and the RF unit (11) is adapted to transmit the temperature value or the temperature adjustment instruction to a receiver of the air conditioner via RF signals.
