최근 가정에서 사용되고 기기 중 원격제어기(Remote controller)로 제어가 가능한 기기가 늘어나고 있다. 이에 따라 여러 기기들이 있는 경우 사용자는 기기들을 동시 제어하려 할 때 제어하고자 하는 제어대상에 맞는 원격제어기를 찾기 위해 많은 시간을 소비하는 경우가 일반적이다. 이러한 불편함이 증가함에 따라 통합원격제어기(Universal remote controller)의 보급이 증가하고 있으나, 여전히 여러 기기를 동시제어하고자 할 경우 제어코드의 입력 등 복잡한 절차를 걸쳐 사용할 수 밖에 없으며, 이러한 점은 결국 통합원격제어기의 사용성을 현저히 약화시킨다. 본 고에서는 인간이 제어대상기기를 제어하고자 하는 의도를 원격제어기에 전달하는 여러 방법 중 인간이 물체를 인식하는 것과 동일한 메타포인 직관적인 '지시(Pointing)'법을 사용하여 실시간으로 다중기기를 통합 제어하는 방법, 즉 지시통합제어방법(Point and Control)에 대한 센서 및 하드웨어구조를 설명하고, 구동방식을 제안한다.

Most of existing integrated remote controllers can control only a group of home appliances made by the same manufacturer. And they cannot monitor the status of home appliances since they are based on analog RF(Radio Frequency) signal and operate in a uni-directional manner In this paper, we propose a software framework for a hi-directional universal remote controller(URC) which monitors the status of home appliances in Wireless Personal Area Network(WPAN). The URC can handle the control and status messages which consist of a command with related arguments. When a user wants to control any home appliance, the URC can be dynamically configured to its dedicated remote controller by generating a GUI according to its profile. Any other devices which have a capacity for understanding the profile from the controlled devices can play the same role of the URC.

A hand controller in teleoperation is a man-machine interface device that provides real-time interaction between a human operator at control site and a slave manipulator at remote site. In this paper, we examine the design issure related to various types of hand controllers in use. Emphasis is placed on bilateral hand controllers and their design parameters. We describe the design of a new 6 degree-of-freedom universal force-reflecting hand controller to control a remote Schilling Titan manipulator. This hand controller allows the operstor to maintain spatial corresponence in remote manipulative operation and fell a sense of contact with the environment. Finally, we demonstrate the graphic simulation of the hand controller to verify its design characteristics.

This study investigated perceived discomfort and reasons related to use three information technology products (personal computer, mobile phone and digital television remote controller), and extracted the universal design factors. 240 people (30 females and 30 males for four age groups) participated in the one-to-one interview type of questionnaire, and replied to degree of discomfort at level of items and the reasons of discomfort at level of detailed elements for each product. As a result, almost all age groups answered that using input buttons of mobile phone and remote controller and watching display of mobile phone caused discomfort. Binary logistic regression of the detailed elements showed that response rate of discomfort mostly increased with age, except for specific elements such as shape of mouse and remote controller, and location of function button of mobile phone. Some of the detailed elements had high response rate of discomfort from all age groups. The age groups also showed similar tendency for the elements to select one alternative for the reason of discomfort, but not for sound volume and size of mobile phone and button sensitivity of remote controller. Finally, the universal design factors were extracted for each product based on the results, and divided into common factors and factors classified by the age group. Through this study, we identified using practices of various age groups and their demands for the products. It is expected that extracted detailed elements can be considered as important design factors to design the products universally.

RC(Remote Control) is a technology that can efficiently control and transfer a variety of user commands to CEs. However, the existing RCs have been required various additional features such as communication between CEs, extension of communication range, low power-consumption and bi-directional communication according to the advent of new types of CE devices and its enhanced performance. Even though RC controller has many customers' requests, it is not a simple solution because most legacies work on IR-based RC. In this paper, we propose RF4CE-based Universal Remote Control Framework using Smartphone in order to solve the many constraints of IR legacies. The proposed R-URC system is designed by RF4CE platform which is a kind of de-facto standard for CE remote control communication. From the verification scenarios using various CEs and smart phone, we can see that the proposed R-URC shows the good practical usage in terms of contents sharing and smart CE control.

In this paper, universal wireless remote controllers are proposed. It can be used for general welding power sources. Sometimes, wireless remote controllers for welders are needed because welding torches are far away from welding sources in the case of big ship-building or big tank constructions. In order to use the wireless remote controllers, digital cpu-based welding systems are essential for digital interfaces. But, in this paper, using digital resistors makes wireless remote controllers be easily applied to digital or analog welders. To demonstrate the practical significance of our results, some experimental results are presented.

Recently, remote controls for home appliances have been produced as many as the number of home appliances per household, and new home appliances are being released, but the number of new remote controls is continuously increasing due to their separate functions. Therefore, it is not inconvenient for first time users to use many remote controls because it is difficult and bulky. In recent years, the practical use of a universal remote control, such as large companies such as SAMSUNG and LG are producing a variety of forms. In this paper, we explain how to transmit and receive data format and infrared remote control through custom code identification method used in IR remote control for each company, and to see the size, characteristics and difference with ordinary remote control through ATmega128 remote control experiment. The ATmega128 can be used to control various home appliances displayed on the LCD. As a result, it can be seen that the number of remote controllers having only each function is reduced, and the integrated remote controller using ATmega128 Can handle household appliances.

Since the area of smart home has been attracting attention, researches have been conducted to control syntagmatically various electronic products with a single remote controller. Previous researches have developed a dedicated controller or an application that acts as a remote controller and controls electronic products by configuring control screen for each product. However, these approaches are not suitable for controlling various electronic products that should be controlled by configuring separate control screens for each product. In this paper, we propose a web-based remote control platform. We define universal user interfaces applicable to various devices by categorizing user interactions of electronic goods and implement them as APIs. By applying the APIs to IPTV and car navigation devices we show that it is possible to control them through only a web browser. We also propose a method to group multiple control requests in order to efficiently handle consecutive control requests and show the improved response time and data usage.
