LEFT/RIGHT MOUSE key Operation  1. When the <Left> key is pressed, its corresponding pointing device left key status (Bit 3) in the Device Address / Status Byte will be set. This bit will be set as long as the <Left> key is held down, and it will be reset (or cleared) when the <Left> key is released.   1.1. While  the  <Left> key is held down:  a)  If the Pointing Device is not active, the transmitted data packet will have Left key status bit in the Device Address / Status Byte set and the X-Coordinate Byte and Y-Coordinate / Scan Code Byte contained all zeros. b)  If the Pointing Device is active, the transmitted data packet will have Left key status bit in the Device Address / Status Byte set and the X-Coordinate Byte and Y-Coordinate / Scan Code Byte contained the X and Y positional values of the Pointer movement.  1.2. While  the  <Left> key is pressed and held down, if another key (other than <Right> key) is now pressed, the pointing device Left key status bit in the Device Address / Status Byte will be reset.  a)  If the Pointing Device is not active, no data packet will be transmitted. Both keys must be released for the remote to return to its normal operation b)  If the Pointing Device is active  prior to the key presses as described in 1.2 above, the transmitted data packet will have Left key status bit in the Device Address / Status Byte reset and the X-Coordinate Byte and Y-Coordinate / Scan Code Byte contained the X and Y positional values of the Pointer movement.  2. When the <Right> key is pressed, its corresponding pointing device right key status (Bit 4) in the Device Address / Status Byte will be set. This bit will be set as long as the <Right> key is held down, and it will be reset (or cleared) when the <Right> key is released.  2.1. While  the  <Right> key is held down:  a)  If the Pointing Device is not active, the transmitted data packet will have Right key status bit in the Device Address / Status Byte set and the X-Coordinate Byte and Y-Coordinate / Scan Code Byte contained all zeros. b)  If the Pointing Device is active, the transmitted data packet will have Right key status bit in the Device Address / Status Byte set and the X-Coordinate Byte and Y-Coordinate / Scan Code Byte contained the X and Y positional values of the Pointer movement.  2.2. While  the  <Right> key is pressed and held down, if another key (other than <Left> key) is now pressed, the pointing device Right key status bit in the Device Address / Status Byte will be reset.
Viewsonic Tweety RF Remote  Rev 2.9A  November 05, 2001 Universal Electronics Inc. Confidential    Page 18 of 63 a)  If the Pointing Device is not active, no data packet will be transmitted. Both keys must be released for the remote to return to its normal operation b)  If the Pointing Device is active  prior to the key presses as described in 2.2 above, the transmitted data packet will have Right key status bit in the Device Address / Status Byte reset and the X-Coordinate Byte and Y-Coordinate / Scan Code Byte contained the X and Y positional values of the Pointer movement.  3. When <Left> and <Right>) keys are both being held down (with one key is pressed before the other), the corresponding pointing device left key status (Bit 3) and right key status (Bit 4) in the Device Address / Status Byte will both be set. These bits will be set as long as the <Left> and <Right> keys are held down. If any one of these two keys is released first, its corresponding status bit will be reset while the corresponding status bit of remaining key remains set. Both bits will be reset (or cleared) when both keys are released. During this time, if the Pointing Device is not active, the X-Coordinate Byte and Y-Coordinate / Scan Code Byte will be all zeros in the transmitted data packet.  Note: It is up to the Host application software to make use of the case where both left and right key status bits in the Device Address / Status Byte are set. This condition would indicate that both <Left> and <Right> keys are currently being pressed and held down.  4. When the Pointing Device is active and one (or both) of <Left> (or <Right>) key is pressed, the X-Coordinate Byte and Y-Coordinate / Scan Code Byte will be updated with the X and Y value of their corresponding positional movements. The transmitted data packet will have the corresponding Left (or Right) key status bit in the Device Address / Status Byte set or reset accordingly.  Note:  If both keys <Left> and <Right> are pressed at the same time, this would be considered as invalid (simultaneously key press). There will be no data packet sent out in this case.

When a key or button is pressed, the remote will transmit the data packet as shown in the protocol on previous pages.  For reliable data transmission, keystroke and control push buttons data packets are transmitted twice wirelessly from the Remote Control RF Transmitter. The transmission is one time for Keep-Alive code and a minimum of 10 times for Re-Sync code.   MAKE  10ms  MAKE   BREAK  10ms  BREAK   Followings are some scenarios of key press:  Case of a normal Key pressed/released:  Key Pressed    Make Code sent. Key Released    Break Code sent, RF Transmitter turned OFF. If no key press is detected after 5 seconds, RF Transmitter is turned ON and Sleep Code is sent. After that the RF Transmitter is again turned OFF and the unit goes to SLEEP mode. If a key press is detected within 5 seconds, that key data transmission will be serviced as described above. If a key pressed then stuck for a long time, then Make Code of the same depressed key will be sent for every 70 ms time interval within 1 minute from the time the original Make code sent. When 1 minute duration is expired, a Stuck code will be sent, followed by Sleep code and the RF Transmitter is then turned OFF. Note that the software would only be able to go to STOP (or SLEEP) mode when a stuck key is released.  Case of Make code kept resend (use <K1> and <K2> as an example):  <K1> pressed    Make Code of K1 sent. <K2> is then pressed while <K1> is still down and both keys are now down within 1 minute. The Make code of K1 will be sent for every 70 ms time interval as described above, until one of the following conditions occurs: <K1> is released first while <K2> is still held down. Break code of K1 will be sent and Make code of K2 will be sent after 70 ms. <K2> is released first while <K1> is still held down. Nothing changes except the same Make code of K1 will be sent for every 70 ms time interval. Until <K1> is released and its Break code is sent.

If the User DN# has not been setup, the OSD will prompt the user to program a device number setup.  To program, press <Re-Sync> key first then press <CH+> key, hold down both keys for about 3 seconds, then released:  <<Re-Sync> + <CH+>>  1.  The software is now expecting the user to enter two digit numbers representing the device number by press/release <Digit> <Digit> keys. (In the software test module, this process completes with 2 LED blinks indication). 2. If <AnyKey> key, other than <Digit> keys, is pressed after the above sequence, the software will abort the Device Number Setup mode. (In the software test module, this error condition will be indicated by a long LED blink). 3.  Within 10 seconds (timeout value) after the above sequence entry, if NO key is pressed (or the timeout expired between <Digit> key press), the software will exit the Device Number Setup mode and the remote will retain the current settings. The software will then return to its normal operation without having the device number updated. During this 10 seconds time, if the Pointer device is activated, the software will exit the Device Number Setup mode and will service the pointer movement of the remote.  Each Remote has a Device ID and a Device Number (00-99). The Device ID shows the category of the Remote. The Host will validate the received data packet from the Remote, by checking the Device Number, to see if it has been registered for that Device ID or not.  After the channel synchronization, the Device ID and Device Number of each Remote will be registered in the Host.  Note: For both Keyboard and Remote Control, the Keypad and Pointing Device have the same Device Number. During synchronization, only Device ID of the Keypad and the Device Number of the Pointing Device will be sent. The Host should also register the Device Number for the Pointing Device of the corresponding device.

After it receives a data packet of 5 bytes, as described above, through the RS-232 communication protocol, it will display the output on the computer screen monitor. The display output information will depend on the data input information received from the RS-232 inputs.  The display output will be designed as such:  •  All 34 keys (Table2, columns 1 & 2) are to be programmed to be graphically displayed as key buttons (with proper key label if possible). A color-coded scheme are to be designed to visually represent the key status condition depending on (b2b1b0=010 in the Device Address / Status byte).  Color-coded Key press status  Gray Indicates a key that had never been pressed and/or released, or the key is malfunctioned that the remote could not detect when pressed.  Red  Indicates when the key is pressed and the software receives its Make Code corresponding to that key.  Green  Indicates when the key is released and the software receives its Break Code corresponding to that key.  •  Two allocated display locations on the screen monitor are to be programmed to show the value of X-coordinate and Y-coordinate of the Pointing Device. These values are data received in Byte2 and Byte1 when the pointing device on the remote control is activated (b2b1b0=100 in the Device Address / Status byte).  •  An allocated display location on the screen monitor is to be programmed to show the status of the battery level condition. This status is to be decoded from bit b7 of Byte 3 (Device Address / Status byte) in the received data packet.  •  An allocated display location on the screen monitor is to be programmed to show the Device Number. This value is to be extracted from Byte4 in the received data packet.
