Decode all the characters on the Sony remote. Find a unique character that's
not on the remote. Transmit the unique character from your IR LED (used to
detect objects)with some time between the character being sent and when
receiving and decoding characters use that character as an object detected
condition. You will still need to deal with receiving the remote and
detecting the object at the same time but this will allow the receiver to
identify the signal being detected as an object or a command.



Hope this helps,
