| 摘要 |
A remote control device (1) for remotely controlling an appliance (A) is provided. The remote control device (1) comprises a contact sensing facility (10), a control mode selection facility (20), an input facility (30), a processor facility (40) and a transmission facility (50). The contact sensing facility (10) determines a degree of physical contact between the remote control device and a user (U) and generates a mode control signal (Smc) indicative for this degree. The control mode selection facility (20) selects one of a plurality of selectable operational modes (M1, M2, M3) of the remote control device dependent on the degree indicated by the mode control signal. The selectable operational modes enable respective subsets of user control modes from a plurality of user control modes. The input facility (30) is arranged to receive user input and generating a user input signal (Sinp) indicative for the user input. The processor facility (40) derives appliance control information (Saci) for the appliance from the user input signal according to a function enabled by the selected operational mode and the transmission facility (50) transmits the appliance control information to the appliance. |
