Method, computer program product, and system for preventing inadvertent configuration of electronic devices provided with infrared data association interfaces

摘要

The present invention relates to a method, computer program product, and system for preventing an inadvertent configuration of an electrical device provided with an infrared interface (30). The method, computer program product, and system include activation of one or more infrared buttons (31, 32, 33, or 34) provided on the infrared interface (30) in order to configure the electrical device. The method, computer program product, and system include a display (40) that indicates an infrared button sequence), wherein said button sequence is entered before the configuration occurs and includes activation of at least a first infrared button (31, 32, 33, or 34) and at least a second infrared button (31, 32, 33, or 34).

主权项

1. A method for preventing an inadvertent configuration of an electrical device provided with an infrared interface (30), comprising the steps of:
activation of one or more infrared buttons (31, 32, 33, or 34) provided on the infrared interface (30) in order to configure the electrical device, wherein at least one of the one or more infrared buttons (31, 32, 33, or 34) is activated by detecting infrared radiation emitted by an infrared radiation emitter (36) and received by a radiation detector (37), the infrared radiation passing through a lens (35) a first time, reflecting back towards the lens (35), and passing through the lens (35) a second time; indicating an infrared button sequence on a display (40), wherein said button sequence includes activation of at least a first infrared button (31, 32, 33, or 34) and at least a second infrared button (31, 32, 33, or 34) of the one or more infrared buttons (31, 32, 33, or 34) used to configure the electrical device; and entering the infrared button sequence to activate the one or more infrared buttons before the configuration occurs.
