Research and Design of Touch-Screen Domestic Universal Remote Controller with Self-Learning Function

This paper discusses a universal remote controller of household electrical appliances using the touch screen. All the household electrical appliances, such as televisions, air conditionings, drinking fountains, fans and lamps, use only one remote controller. It is convenient for the disabled people to use the household electrical appliances. The remote controller is based on the computer controlling technology and infrared communication technology. The touch screen, microcontroller, infrared emitter and receiver compose the remote controller. The controller could control all the household electrical appliances with self-learning function. Household electrical appliances without remote control could also be controlled remotely by installing the receiving circuit. The remote controller has human friendly interface through the interaction between the hardware and software of the touch screen. The result shows that our remote controller has clarified its effectiveness.
