A remote control system enables simplified programming of new remote control transmission data of an electronic apparatus which a user wants to remotely control. A plurality of electronic apparatuses are remote controlled by using a single common use remote control transmitter and by converting an infrared signal from an exclusive use remote control transmitter belonging to an electronic apparatus into another remote control transmitter data at a remote control signal analysis/output unit. The data is output as a magnetic signal, the magnetic signal is received, the signal is converted into new remote control transmitter data and the converted data is stored in a nonvolatile memory device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention eliminates such problems of the prior art and aims to offer an inexpensive remote control system which can easily program remote control transmission data for an electronic apparatus of a different manufacturer or for a different kind of electronic apparatus in a designated remote control transmitter, and can remote control a plurality of electronic apparatuses in addition to the electronic apparatuses which the user has so far.
To eliminate the above problems, the present invention offers a remote control system providing a remote control signal analysis/output unit having a first electromagnetic induction means for receiving, at a light receiving part, an infrared signal from an exclusive use type remote control transmitter belonging to an electronic apparatus which the user wants to remote control by a new remote control system at a light receiving part, processing the signal at an analysis circuit, converting into data for remote control transmission and outputting it into a magnetic signal; and a common use type remote control transmitter having a second electromagnetic induction means for converting the magnetic signal output from the first electromagnetic induction means into an electric signal and a nonvolatile memory device converting the electric signal into a remote control transmission signal, storing and processing.
Thus, an inexpensive remote control system is obtained remote control transmission data for an electronic apparatus of a different manufacturer or a different kind can be easily programmed in a designated remote control transmitter and a plurality of electronic apparatuses can be remotely controlled.
