Abstract
A remote control apparatus includes a wireless module, a microprocessing module, an infrared module, a power supply module, and a housing. The wireless module, the microprocessing module, and the infrared module are electrically connected to each other in series. The power supply module is electrically connected to and supplies electricity to the wireless module, the microprocessing module, and the infrared module. The housing is located in a position outside of an electric appliance and corresponding to an infrared reception end of the electric appliance. The wireless module is connected to a handheld device for receiving a wireless control signal from the handheld device. The microprocessing module unit converts the remote control signal from the wireless module into an enabling signal. The infrared module transmits an infrared control signal to the infrared reception end of the electric appliance upon reception of the enabling signal from the microprocessing module.
