Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a remote controller, and more particularly to an electronic paper remote controller using an electronic paper touch display. [Prior Art] With the advancement of technology, whether it is a home electronic device, such as: TV, Lu air, audio, multimedia player, projector, etc., or the automatic control system of the factory electronic device, The remote remote control function allows the user to operate the electronic device through wireless transmission methods such as infrared (IR), radio frequency (RF) or Bluetooth using the handheld remote control. Generally, a button corresponding to different functions can be set in advance on the remote controller. When the button is pressed, a specific signal corresponding to the key is transmitted to the electronic device, and the electronic device can perform a predefined operation according to the specific signal. control. In the early days, the electronic device would be equipped with a remote control. Therefore, a Lu family had to use a remote control for the number of shirts. It was a lot of troubles to store and find various remote controls. In response to this problem, many operators have integrated the remote controllers of various household electronic devices into a universal remote controller. However, the traditional universal remote control must be provided with a plurality of physical buttons corresponding to the functions of different electronic devices on the control panel. It is difficult for the user to recognize the buttons to be pressed and the corresponding functions, which causes inconvenience in use. In addition, it is limited to the size of the remote control. The buttons that can be set on the remote control are limited, so that the operation control that can be performed is also limited. Therefore, the conventional universal remote control can only integrate the control buttons of two or three home electronic devices. The 201128448 keys, for example, mostly only remotely control TVs, multimedia players, and air conditioners, and cannot integrate all of the home electronics. Therefore, how to invent a general-purpose remote controller so that the user can be widely used in various electronic devices, and it is possible to control various electronic devices with only a single remote controller, which is to be actively disclosed by the present invention. At the office. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a general-purpose remote controller which can be widely used in various electronic devices, and thus can control various electronic devices with only a single remote controller. Another object of the present invention is to provide a general-purpose remote control that can be controlled by the remote controller of the present invention without adding any additional components to the original electronic device. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a remote control device that consumes less power. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a remote controller that can expand the type of electronic device. For the above purpose and other purposes, the remote controller of the present invention is an electronic paper remote controller comprising: a storage module for storing program data for controlling at least one electronic device; and a signal transmission module for Transmitting an infrared control signal; a touch-type electronic paper display for the user to select an electronic device to be controlled, and displaying a corresponding graphical user interface (GUI) for the user to control the electronic device; The microprocessor is electrically connected to the storage module, the signal transmitting module and the touch-sensitive electronic paper display, and is configured to convert the program information of the selected electronic device 201128448 to be displayed in response to the user's selection. The graphical user interface (GUI) on the touch-sensitive electronic paper display is converted to control the electronic device-a signal, and the user is controlled as the infrared control signal under the specification of the band signal. In the embodiment, the electronic paper remote controller further includes a receiving module, which is electrically connected to the microprocessor, and is configured to receive the infrared return (4) of the electronic device and the electronic device. Controlled on the device = less one: the status information of the sub-device, ~: air-conditioner: The TV channel number of the watch to the temperature or the watch. In the embodiment, the electronic paper remote controller further comprises a module, which is selected from the group consisting of: communication suspension, wireless high-fax communication, and group bee communication module (Zigbee), and The electric microprocessor, and the at least the electronic device performs data transmission. " For the above purposes and other purposes, the apparatus of the present invention comprises: - a storage module for storing at least one electrical lean; a signal transmitting module, _ ^ ^ B 糸 for &; shoot a radio frequency control signal; - touch-type electronic paper display ' is for (4) select the electronic device to be controlled, and read the red-coffee interface (gu accepts the user to control the electronic device; and - micro processing And electrically connected to the storage module, the signal emission and the electronic device 4, for responding to the user's selection, converting the program data of the device (10) to the touch electronic device The graphical user interface ((10)) on the paper display, and the band signal of the electronic device converted to the silk (4), and the user's control action is converted into the RF control letter 201128448 by recording the signal of the band In an embodiment, the electronic paper remote controller further includes an RF signal receiving module electrically connected to the microprocessor for receiving a radio frequency return signal of the at least one electronic device. , the electronic paper of the invention The storage module of the controller includes a transmission interface for expanding the stored program data for the user to expand the type and/or quantity of the electronic device controllable by the electronic paper remote controller. The paper remote control allows the user to easily control various electronic devices with a graphical user interface, and expands and updates the functions of various electronic devices through a wireless communication module (such as Bluetooth, Wifi or Zigbee) or a transmission interface. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In order to fully understand the objects, features and effects of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail by the following specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. After: The electronic paper (e-paper) display, also known as Electro-Phoretic Display (EPD), is named according to its application, and the latter is based on its display technology principle. Name: Because electronic paper does not need backlight, and has the advantages of low power consumption, light weight, etc. Two reasons for reducing power loss of electronic paper display, one It is completely reflective and does not require a backlight. Secondly, it has an inherent image memory effect. When an image is written to electronic paper, it is no longer necessary to input additional 201128448 power supply. 'This image will be (4)' only outside the image (4) Power supply, therefore, can save power. ^ Input amount The present invention uses a touch-sensitive electronic paper display, which is easy to manufacture. The user selects (10) the corresponding graphical user interface of the device, and the electronic user loses Person (4) money. Correction (4) way to make Figure 1 is one of the preferred electronic paper remote controls of the present invention
