RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROLLER DEVICE, INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND METHOD FOR SELECTING AT LEAST ONE DEVICE TO BE CONTROLLED

摘要

A radio frequency (RF) remote controller device (160) comprises radio frequency (RF) circuitry (220) operably coupled to an antenna arrangement (210) and arranged to transmit and receive RF signals to and from controllable devices (110, 120, 130, 140, 150). The RF remote controller device (160) further comprises signal process logic (230) operably coupled to the RF circuitry (220) and to a user interface (250). The antenna arrangement (210) is arranged to comprise a directivity characteristic. The signal processing logic (230) upon receipt of a command input from the user interface (250), is arranged to: determine at least one link quality value that is at least partly dependent upon the directivity characteristic for the at least one controllable device (110, 120, 130, 140, 150); and select the controllable device (110, 120, 130, 140, 150) for remote controlling based on the determined at least one link quality value.
