As to the third step, Young receives the information
signal at a receiving station. The receiving station includes
everything in Figure 3. As to the fourth step, Young applies
the received information signal to a receiving device at the
receiving station shown in Figure 3. The “receiving device”
is satisfied by the TV/VCR combination 126/150 and may further
include programmable TV tuner 132 and video switcher 140.
As to the fifth step, Young receives the control signal
at an intermediate station 110. As to the sixth step, Young
senses an operational condition (whether TV is on or off) of
the receiving device.
As to the seventh step, Young formats the received
control signal according to the sensed operational condition
to form control codes suitable for reception by an input of
the receiving device. For example, if the sensed condition is
that the television is off, Young may form the control code
for causing the VCR to record. Column 8, lines 62-66. As to
the eighth step, Young uses a third transmitter 1010 to
modulate a carrier on the basis of said control codes. Column
9, lines 7-15; Figure 4b.
