REMOTE CONTROLLER HAVING DUAL TOUCH PADS AND METHOD OF CONTROL USING THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed is a remote controller having a dual touch pad and a method of control using the same, the remote controller including a communication unit, a first touch pad, a second touch pad, an elastic layer, a position sensing unit, and a control unit. The first and second touch pads are installed adjacent to each other, and each have the elastic layer formed thereon, to output first and second selection signals, respectively, to control the control target device. The position sensing unit senses whether the first touch pad and the second touch pad are positioned in a longitudinal direction or in a traverse direction and outputs a third selection signal. The control unit receives at least one of the first to third selection signals from the first touch pad, the second touch pad, or the position sensing unit, and transmits a control signal to the control target device.

主权项

1. A remote controller having a dual touch pad, comprising:
a communication unit configured to perform a communication with a control target device; a first touch pad configured to output a first selection signal to control the control target device; a second touch pad installed adjacent to the first touch pad and configured to output a second selection signal to control the control target device; an elastic layer formed on each of upper surfaces of the first touch pad and the second touch pad to provide a touch sensibility when the first touch pad and the second touch pad are pressed; a position sensing unit configured to sense whether the first touch pad and the second touch pad are positioned in a longitudinal direction or in a traverse direction and output a third selection signal; and a control unit configured to receive at least one of the first to third selection signals from the first touch pad, the second touch pad or the position sensing unit, and transmit a control signal to the control target device.
