Claims14
A foldable remote controller having an outer surface and an inner surface, remotely controlling a multimedia network device, transmitting signals to the multimedia network device, and transmitting and receiving audio signals between the foldable remote controller and the multimedia network device, so as to communicate on internet, the foldable remote controller at least comprising:
- a microprocessor control unit provided to process data and control the data transmission among elements in the foldable remote controller;
- a wireless module coupled to the microprocessor control unit and used to convert wireless signals to data and the data to the wireless signals;
- an signal emitter coupled to the wireless module and receiving or transmitting the wireless signals;
- an audio codec coupled to the wireless module and used for analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversions;
- a microphone coupled to the audio codec and converting voice into audio signals;
- a speaker coupled to the audio codec and converting the audio signals into a voice;
- a keyboard module coupled to the microprocessor control unit and provided for users to input character data into the multimedia network device;
- a function key module coupled to the microprocessor control unit and provided for users to input a controlling signal into the multimedia network device, wherein the microprocessor control unit stops the keyboard function provided by the keyboard module and starts the remote control function provided by the function key module when the foldable remote controller is closed;
- and
- a open-close detector coupled to the microprocessor control unit and detecting if the foldable remote controller is open or closed.
