HOME ENTERTAINMENT DEVICE REMOTE CONTROL

摘要

A remote control (30) for controlling a home entertainment device having a display screen (16) provided with a movable object (18) includes a touch pad (12 or 32). The display screen is mapped to the touch pad area. The touch pad generates a signal in response to an operator touching the touch pad and a controller (14) receives the signal. The controller moves the movable object on the display svreen to the location on the display screen corresponding to the location of the touch on the touch pad. The touch pad also generates a gesture signal in response to a gesture (22 or 24) performed on the touch pad. Each gesture corresponds to a control function (25) which controls the home entertainment device.
