A remote controller that has preset therein control signals of various formats/code systems in correspondence with different kinds of electronic equipment and of different manufacturers detects the control signal from another remote controller typically used with the electronic equipment, compares it with the preset data, selects a predetermined signal from the preset data and stores it in a memory for use in controlling the electronic equipment. Identifier codes may also be stored in the memory to save memory capacity. With only one input operation, all control signals in the same category, such as channel codes for a television, may be learned and stored in the memory in correspondence with the respective keys. Provision is made to determine whether the input control signal is in the form of a toggle code, thereby executing the learn function for control signals that include the toggle code.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A remote controller having a plurality of operating buttons for causing predetermined control signals to be transmitted to electronic equipment in response to operation of said operating button to execute respective operations of said electronic equipment, comprising:input means for receiving a control signal output from another remote controller;decoder means for decoding the control signal received by said input means;first storage means for storing as preset data control signals of a plurality of signal structures associated with different units of the electronic equipment;second storage means for storing one of the predetermined control signals and identifier codes representative of the control signals associated with each of the plurality of operating buttons;analyzer means for analyzing the received control signal from said input means and for determining whether a signal structure and a control content of the control signal are in the form of a toggle code; andcontrol means responsive to said analyzer means determining the control signal to be a toggle code having a portion thereof alternately changed in value in response to successive operations of said operating button and storing the control signal in said second storage means in correspondence with a predetermined one of said operating buttons, wherein if one of the operating buttons corresponding to the control signal stored in said second storage means is operated in an operational mode, the control signal is outputted and transmitted, while the portion of the control signal is changed in response to the number of operational times.
