Using a universal remote control is now
as easy as it should be for all users. Designed to address the
needs of the elderly, people with impaired vision, and TV
viewers with physical disabilities or dexterity
issues, the new ACCENDA™ Remote Control from Innotech Systems
Inc. is also exceptionally user-friendly for the average couch
potato.
Consumers can use the ACCENDA remote control's voice
recognition technology for completely hands-free operation, or
use the ergonomic sculpted and back lit buttons for
comfortable, reliable hand-held operation.
The keys are clustered according to function and each group of
keys has a different shape, making it exceptionally easy to
find the right key just by feel. The volume up/down and
channel up/down buttons are on the side, permitting easy
operation with just the thumb when Accenda is
hand held. Identical sets of buttons are located on both sides
of Accenda to allow left or right-hand operation.
The ACCENDA Remote Control even offers a unique voice-feedback
system that tells users what button they have pushed,
eliminating guesswork and minimizing the usual difficulty
associated with learning to operate a new remote control.
The ACCENDA design leaves nothing to chance. A convenient
flip-down keypad hides rarely-used keys, reducing the
possibility of pressing setup keys by accident. Making the
remote control virtually error-proof for visually impaired and
elderly users, ACCENDA also includes Menu Key Lockout,
preventing operation of menu and setup keys which require
users to see the TV screen. This eliminates the possibility of
users accidentally putting their TV, VCR, cable or satellite
box into a mode which requires the intervention of another
person to correct.
Another innovation, eliminates the usual need to push the TV,
VCR, Cable/Satellite, etc. button every time users want to
change what they are doing. Users simply decide which
entertainment device they wish for common functions, and never
need to fumble for the TV, Cable, VCR, etc. buttons again!
Virtually eliminating the need for a setup guide, friendly
“Voice Prompts” talk the user through setup and command
training. Hands-Free Channel Scan and Favorite Channels make
selecting stations ultra-convenient. Consumers can even simply
say, “Play tape,” or “HBO” etc., instead
of having to press multiple buttons or memorize channel
numbers.
A built-in Memo Recorder enables viewers to note down 800
numbers and web site addresses from commercials — without
fumbling for pen and paper. Other convenience features include
back lit keys and internal sleep timer. The remote control’s
non-volatile memory retains user set
up and favorite channel information even with the batteries
removed.
