Remote Control

The data generator 103 creates trigger data that indicates the function you have selected and transmits it through an electronic transmitter 104. The transmitter 104 modifies infrared light based on the trigger data and sends it to the remote control interface 109.

A receiver 110 in the remote control interface 109 takes the modulated infrared beam and demodulates it to recover the control code within the carrier wave. The remote control interface transmits the control codes to the electronic device, which activates the desired functions according to the code.
