Abstract (en)
A remote control device (200) for transmitting control commands (120) to an external device (131) comprises a plurality of sockets (250) and a controller (210). Each socket (250) is constructed and arranged to receive a button (230) having an electrical resistance. The controller (210) is configured to detect, when a button (230) is inserted into one of the sockets (250), the electrical resistance of the inserted button (230) and determine, from the detected electrical resistance, a control command associated with the inserted button (230). The controller (210) then assigns the determined control command to the socket (250) into which the inserted button (230) was inserted such that the determined control command is transmitted to the external device (131) in response to the inserted button (230) being pressed.
