4. The method of claim 1, wherein a first user interface, which is either a most frequently used user interface or a user interface designated by a user in advance, is displayed first in the sequentially displaying of each of the plurality of user interfaces on the touch screen.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the input detected by the touch screen is generated by touching the touch screen.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the input detected by the touch screen is generated by sliding while maintaining touch from a first location to a second location across the touch screen.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein a task user interface which controls a function relevant to a task currently performed by the electronic device is further displayed on the touch screen when the plurality of user interfaces are sequentially displayed.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein, when the task is completed, the task user interface is no longer displayed on the touch screen.
9. A remote control device for controlling an electronic device, the remote control device comprising:
a touch screen which detects an input for selecting one of a plurality of functions supported by the electronic device and sequentially displays each of a plurality of user interfaces for controlling the selected function; and
a control unit which controls the electronic device through use of one of the plurality of user interfaces that are sequentially displayed.
10. The remote control device of claim 9, wherein the selected function is a function of switching channels.
11. The remote control device of claim 9, wherein the plurality of user interfaces includes at least two selected from a group comprising a user interface for switching channels up and down, a user interface for inputting channel numbers, and a user interface for displaying a list of channels.
12. The remote control device of claim 9, wherein the touch screen displays a first user interface, which is either a most frequently used user interface or a user interface designated by a user in advance, first from among the plurality of user interfaces.
13. The remote control device of claim 9, wherein the input detected by the touch screen is generated by touching the touch screen.
14. The remote control device of claim 9, wherein the input detected by the touch screen is generated by sliding while maintaining touch from a first location to a second location across the touch screen.
15. The remote control device of claim 9, wherein the touch screen further displays a task user interface which controls a function relevant to a task currently performed by the electronic device when the plurality of user interfaces are sequentially displayed.
16. The remote control device of claim 9, wherein, when the task is completed, the touch screen no longer displays the task user interface.
17. A computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing a method of controlling an electronic device by using a remote control device comprising a touch screen, the method comprising:
selecting one of a plurality of functions supported by the electronic device via the touch screen;
sequentially displaying each of a plurality of user interfaces on the touch screen, the plurality of user interfaces being usable for controlling the selected function with an input detected by the touch screen; and
controlling the electronic device by using one of the plurality of user interfaces that are sequentially displayed.
18. The method of claim 1, wherein a current one of the plurality of user interfaces being displayed on the touch screen is changed by generating a switch command detected by the touch screen, the switch command indicating a request for the touch screen to display another one of the plurality of user interfaces.
19. The method of claim 18, wherein the switch command is generated by touching the touch screen.
20. The remote control device of claim 9, wherein a current one of the plurality of user interfaces being displayed on the touch screen is changed by generating a switch command detected by the touch screen, the switch command indicating a request for the touch screen to display another one of the plurality of user interfaces.
21. The remote control device of claim 20, wherein the switch command is generated by touching the touch screen.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A heat sink with fins comprising:
a base plate made of a heat conductive material;
a plurality of heat dissipating fins which are positioned in heat-dissipating-fin mounting portions formed on one surface of said base plate and are jointed to said base plate by mechanical crimping; and
at least one heat pipe which is positioned in a heat-pipe mounting portion formed on the surface of said base plate to which said heat dissipating fine are jointed, portions in the vicinity of said heat pipe being crimped to joint said heat pipe to said base plate.
2. The heat sink with fins as claimed in claim 1, wherein said heat-pipe mounting portion comprises a heat pipe receiving portion for receiving said heat pipe and a slit portion for connecting said heat pipe receiving portion and the surface of said base plate.
3. The heat sink with fins as claimed in claim 2, wherein said heat-dissipating-fin mounting portions and said slit portion are crossed, and said heat dissipating fins, which are positioned in said heat-dissipating-fin mounting portions to be jointed to said base plate by mechanical crimping, press a part of said heat pipe.
4. The heat sink with fins as claimed in claim 1, wherein a longitudinal direction of said heat pipe is positioned crossed with a longitudinal direction of said heat dissipating fins.
5. The heat sink with fins as claimed in claim 1, wherein said heat dissipating fins are cut off at portions corresponding to said heat pipe which is inserted into said heat-pipe mounting portion and jutting from the surface to which said heat dissipating fins are jointed.
6. The heat sink with fins as claimed in claim 4, wherein crimping of said heat pipe is performed by point crimping along the longitudinal direction of said heat pipe.
7. The heat sink with fins as claimed in claim 4, wherein crimping of said heat pipe is performed by slit crimping with slits which are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of said heat pipe.
