Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8503159A1] A control apparatus for controlling an electrical appliance (37) connected thereto in response to a series of coded input signals and particularly to the rings of a telephone (15). The apparatus includes an input stage which has an input signal pickup (11) and a pulse generator (40) for conditioning the input signals into an appropriate form. A counter (16) counts the conditioned input signals and outputs a count signal at the count outputs (25) indicative of the number counted. A timer (18) is reset by the input signals and produces various time signals at timing outputs (20) which correspond to different times from the last received input signal. A logic circuit decodes the coded input signals in response to count signals and time signals input thereto. An output circuit generates an output control signal and conveys the control signal to an applliance controller (29) which controls the appliance (37). Specific forms of pulse generator (40), logic circuit, and output circuit are defined herein.
