Description

L'invention concerne un procédé de fonctionnement d'un émetteur d'ordres destiné à la commande à distance d'équipements électriques assurant le confort et/ou la sécurité dans un bâtiment, l'émetteur d'ordres comprenant une interface de commande, une interface d'information, des moyens d'émission de signaux, des moyens de réception de signaux et un moyen de verrouillage de l'interface de commande. Il concerne de plus, un émetteur d'ordres fonctionnant selon un tel procédé.The invention relates to a method of operating a transmitter orders for the remote control of electrical equipment providing comfort and / or security in a building, the order issuer comprising a control interface, an information interface, means for transmitting signals, means for receiving signals and locking means of the control interface. It concerns plus, a command transmitter operating according to such a method.

Traditionnellement, les émetteurs d'ordres comportent des touches de commande. Un appui sur une de ces touches se traduit par l'émission d'un ordre de commande associé à la touche vers un récepteur d'ordres appairé et commandant un équipement électrique.Traditionally, the issuers of orders have keys of command. Pressing one of these keys results in the broadcast a command order associated with the key to a command receiver paired and commanding electrical equipment.

Les émetteurs d'ordres à distance de type nomade sont souvent portés dans des poches ou des sacs, ou sont manipulés avec peu de précautions. Des déclenchements intempestifs de commande peuvent alors survenir.Nomadic distance order issuers are often worn in pockets or bags, or are handled with little precautions. Inopportune control trips can then occur.

Ce problème est généralement résolu par un dispositif mécanique de verrouillage tel qu'un capot de protection, une dureté d'appui des touches ou une forme des touches en creux ou par un dispositif électronique. Par exemple, le brevet US 4,670,747 décrit un dispositif muni d'un clavier numérique qui peut être verrouillé par un appui sur une touche de verrouillage.This problem is usually solved by a mechanical device of lock such as a protective cover, hardness of the keys or a shape of the recessed keys or by an electronic device. Through for example, US Pat. No. 4,670,747 describes a device equipped with a keyboard digital that can be locked by pressing a touch of locking.

Par ailleurs, les dispositifs de commande à distance actuels sont souvent munis de moyens d'affichage de l'état ou du statut du dispositif de commande. On connaít par exemple un tel dispositif de la demande EP 1 172 937. Elle décrit un émetteur d'ordres comprenant des moyens d'affichage, qui peuvent permettre à l'utilisateur de visualiser des informations relatives à l'état opérationnel de l'émetteur d'ordres et un clavier. Le clavier peut être utilisé pour entrer un mot de passe pour l'activation de l'émetteur d'ordres. Une touche particulière du clavier de commande active la fonction d'interrogation d'état.Moreover, the current remote control devices are often equipped with means for displaying the status or status of the device of command. We know, for example, such a device of the request EP 1 172 937. It describes an order transmitter comprising means display, which may allow the user to view information relating to the operational status of the issuer of orders and a keyboard. The keyboard can be used to enter a password for the activation of the issuer of orders. A special touch of the keyboard command activates the status polling function.

De même, la demande de brevet EP 1 014 326 décrit un dispositif de commande à distance, de type clé électronique pour véhicule comprenant un émetteur-récepteur et un affichage (acoustique ou visuel) du retour d'information sur l'état de l'objet commandé.Similarly, the patent application EP 1 014 326 describes a device for remote control, electronic key type for vehicle comprising a transceiver and a display (acoustic or visual) feedback on the state of the ordered object.

La figure 1 représente schématiquement les actions et réactions d'un émetteur d'ordres à distance connu de l'art antérieur. Cet émetteur d'ordres commande un équipement électrique.FIG. 1 schematically represents the actions and reactions of a remote command transmitter known from the prior art. This transmitter orders order electrical equipment.

De manière conventionnelle, lorsqu'un utilisateur effectue une action représentée par la flèche 40 sur l'émetteur d'ordres tel qu'un appui sur une ou plusieurs touches particulières du clavier, l'émetteur d'ordres prépare un ordre de commande au bloc 41 et l'envoie à l'équipement par le biais d'une communication représentée par la flèche 42. L'équipement reçoit alors cette commande et l'exécute au bloc 43.Conventionally, when a user performs an action represented by the arrow 40 on the issuer of orders such as a press on one or more particular keys of the keyboard, the issuer of orders prepares a command order at block 41 and sends it to the equipment by through a communication represented by the arrow 42. The equipment then receives this command and executes it at block 43.

Des émetteurs d'ordres nomades peuvent également être munis de fonctions d'interrogation d'état. Il s'agit d'une interrogation concernant l'état de l'équipement associé, dans le cadre d'une communication bidirectionnelle. Les émetteurs d'ordres et les équipements ont alors des fonctions d'émission et de réception de signaux.Transmitters of nomadic orders may also be provided with state polling functions. This is a question about the condition of the associated equipment, as part of a communication bidirectional. The issuers of orders and the equipment then have signal transmission and reception functions.

Cette fonction est mise en oeuvre généralement par une ergonomie particulière, du type double appui sur une touche ou combinaison d'appuis, ou par un appui sur un bouton séparé. Cette action représentée par la flèche 44 entraíne la préparation d'un message d'interrogation au bloc 45 et l'envoi de ce message représenté par la flèche 46. Une réponse à ce message est émise par l'équipement et représentée par la flèche 47. L'état de l'équipement est alors exposé au bloc 48.This function is generally implemented by ergonomics particular, of the type double pressing on a key or combination of support, or by pressing a separate button. This action represented by the arrow 44 causes the preparation of an interrogation message to the block 45 and sending this message represented by the arrow 46. A response to this message is issued by the equipment and represented by the arrow 47. The state of the equipment is then exposed in block 48.

La demande de brevet EP 0 320 439 décrit un dispositif de commande à distance d'un équipement d'un véhicule. Il comprend des moyens d'émission et de réception de signaux dans une télécommande et des moyens d'émission et de réception de signaux dans un véhicule. Pour permettre l'envoi d'un ordre de la télécommande au véhicule, il faut entrer un code de sécurité qui est reconnu ou non par le véhicule. La télécommande comprend également des moyens d'information de l'utilisateur comme des diodes et un haut-parleur. A chaque touche de la télécommande est associée une fonction : un appui sur une touche de la télécommande entraíne l'émission d'un signal vers le véhicule. Ce signal peut être un signal de commande pour une fonction donnée, une demande d'information sur l'état des équipements du véhicule ou une activation d'alarme. Ces signaux ne sont interprétés que si un code de sécurité à été émis dans une fenêtre temporelle précédent ou suivant ces signaux. De fait, le retour d'information n'est lui-même obtenu par la télécommande que si le code de sécurité a bien été reçu par le véhicule.The patent application EP 0 320 439 describes a control device to distance from a vehicle equipment. It includes means transmission and reception of signals in a remote control and means for transmitting and receiving signals in a vehicle. For allow sending an order from the remote control to the vehicle, it is necessary to Enter a security code that is recognized or not by the vehicle. The remote control also includes information means of the user like diodes and a speaker. At each touch of the remote control is associated with a function: a key press on the remote control causes the transmission of a signal to the vehicle. This signal can be a control signal for a given function, a request for information on the condition of the equipment of the vehicle or a alarm activation. These signals are only interpreted if a code of security has been issued within a previous or subsequent time window signals. In fact, the feedback is not itself obtained by the remote control only if the security code has been received by the vehicle.

Le but de l'invention est de fournir un procédé permettant de remédier au problème précité et d'améliorer les procédés connus de l'art antérieur. En particulier, l'invention propose un procédé permettant d'éviter les déclenchements intempestifs de commande, dans le cas d'émetteurs d'ordres à distance comprenant des moyens d'interrogation de l'état de l'équipement commandé et/ou de l'émetteur d'ordres lui-même.The object of the invention is to provide a method for remedying the aforementioned problem and to improve the methods known from the prior art. In In particular, the invention proposes a method making it possible to avoid nuisance tripping, in the case of transmitters remote commands comprising means for interrogating the state of the ordered equipment and / or the order transmitter itself.

Le procédé de fonctionnement selon l'invention est caractérisé par la partie caractérisante de la revendication 1. The operating method according to the invention is characterized by the characterizing part of claim 1.

Différents modes d'exécution du procédé sont définis par les revendications dépendantes 2 à 8.Different modes of execution of the process are defined by the dependent claims 2 to 8.

    • L'émetteur d'ordres 1 représenté à la figure 2 consiste en un boítier 2 comprenant un clavier 3 muni de touches 4a à 4f et un dispositif d'affichage 5 d'informations. L'émetteur d'ordres comprend en outre une unité de traitement 6, une mémoire 7, des moyens d'émission de signaux 8, des moyens de réception de signaux 9 et un moyen de verrouillage du clavier. L'émetteur d'ordres 1 est destiné à commander un ou plusieurs équipements électriques 12 munis chacun d'un récepteur d'ordres 13 et équipant un bâtiment. Ces équipements peuvent par exemple consister en une porte de garage, en un portail, en des volets roulants ou en des luminaires. Les moyens d'émission et de réception de signaux permettent à l'émetteur d'ordres de communiquer de manière bidirectionnelle avec le récepteur d'ordres lié à chaque équipement. Ainsi, un accusé de réception peut être émis suite à chaque émission d'ordre. Le contenu de cet accusé de réception peut être signifié à l'utilisateur grâce à l'écran d'affichage.The transmitter of orders 1 represented in FIG. 2 consists of a housing 2 comprising a keyboard 3 provided with keys 4a to 4f and a device display 5 information. The issuer of orders also includes a processing unit 6, a memory 7, means for transmitting signals 8, signal receiving means 9 and a locking means of the keyboard. The command transmitter 1 is intended to control one or more electrical equipment 12 each equipped with a command receiver 13 and equipping a building. This equipment may for example consist of in a garage door, in a portal, in shutters or in shutters fixtures. The means for transmitting and receiving signals allow the issuer of orders to communicate bidirectionally with the order receiver linked to each equipment. Thus, an accused of reception can be issued following each order issue. The content of this acknowledgment can be served to the user through the screen display.

    Cet accusé de réception, ou confirmation, permet à l'utilisateur de savoir si la commande a bien été reçue par le récepteur d'ordres et/ou si la commande a bien été exécutée.This acknowledgment, or confirmation, allows the user to know if the order has been received by the order receiver and / or if the command has been successfully executed.

    Le dispositif d'affichage 5 comprend par exemple des diodes électroluminescentes. Un code basé sur les couleurs des diodes, leur fréquence de clignotement ou leur nombre de clignotement permet de coder l'information. Il peut également s'agir d'un écran de type à cristaux liquides.The display device 5 comprises, for example, diodes emitting. A code based on the colors of the diodes, their the flashing frequency or the number of flashes code the information. It can also be a crystal type screen liquids.

    Les touches 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d et 4e sont des touches de commande. Chaque touche de commande peut servir à l'émission d'un ordre unique, de montée ou de descente d'un équipement motorisé par exemple, ou correspondre à un équipement particulier à commander. Dans ce dernier cas, les touches fonctionnent de manière séquentielle, c'est à dire que des appuis successifs permettent l'émission de séquences d'ordres de type montée, stop, descente, stop...The keys 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d and 4e are control keys. Each control key can be used to issue a single command, climbing or lowering of motorized equipment for example, or correspond to a particular equipment to order. In this last In this case, the keys work sequentially, ie successive supports allow the emission of sequences of orders of climb, stop, descent, stop ...

    Dans un premier mode de fonctionnement de l'émetteur, dit « déverrouillé », lorsqu'on appuie sur l'une des touches de commande de l'interface de commande, l'émetteur d'ordres émet un ordre en direction de l'équipement concerné.In a first mode of operation of the transmitter, said "Unlocked" when you press one of the the command interface, the command transmitter issues an order in the direction the equipment concerned.

    D'autres touches peuvent se trouver sur l'interface de commande. Il s'agit par exemple d'une touche 4f d'information. Quel que soit le mode de fonctionnement de l'émetteur d'ordres, lorsqu'on actionne cette touche 4f, l'émetteur d'ordres affiche sur l'écran 5 l'état du ou des équipements commandés. Other keys may be on the command interface. It's about for example a key 4f information. Whatever the mode of operation of the command transmitter, when pressing this key 4f, the issuer of orders displays on the screen 5 the state of the equipment orders.

    La figure 3 représente un ordinogramme illustrant le fonctionnement de l'émetteur d'ordres selon l'invention.FIG. 3 represents a flowchart illustrating the operation of the command transmitter according to the invention.

    Une action représentée par la flèche 20, par exemple une ergonomie particulière sur les touches du clavier, de type séquence d'appuis, appuis successifs ou prolongés, l'actionnement d'un bouton séparé, ou la fin d'une temporisation, permet de faire basculer l'émetteur d'ordres du mode « déverrouillé » dans un mode opérationnel d'interrogation d'état, dit mode « verrouillé » et représenté par le bloc 21. Dans ce mode, certaines touches de commande 4a à 4d ne permettent plus d'envoyer les commandes vers les équipements. Un appui sur ces touches, représenté par la flèche 22, est interprété au bloc 23 par l'émetteur d'ordres comme une demande d'information sur l'état du ou des équipements, par exemple la porte de garage. L'émetteur d'ordres émet alors un message d'interrogation, représenté par la flèche 24, vers la porte de garage. La porte de garage envoie en retour une réponse sur son état (ouvert, fermé, présence d'obstacle, etc.), représentée par la flèche 25. L'émetteur d'ordres affiche ensuite cet état au bloc 26.An action represented by the arrow 20, for example an ergonomics particular on the keys of the keyboard, of type sequence of supports, supports successive or extended, the actuation of a separate button, or the end of a delay, allows to switch the transmitter of orders of the "unlocked" mode in an operational state interrogation mode, said "locked" mode and represented by block 21. In this mode, some control keys 4a to 4d no longer allow sending orders to the equipment. Press these keys, represented by the arrow 22, is interpreted in block 23 by the transmitter orders as a request for information on the status of the equipment, for example the garage door. The issuer of orders issues then an interrogation message, represented by the arrow 24, towards the garage door. The garage door sends back a response on its state (open, closed, presence of obstacles, etc.), represented by arrow 25. The issuer of orders then displays this state in block 26.

    Ainsi, des appuis intempestifs sur ces touches de commande du clavier, dans un sac par exemple ou lors d'une manipulation sans précaution, n'occasionnent pas de commande indésirable, mais seulement une interrogation d'état. Cette configuration permet également de limiter le nombre de touches et la mise en oeuvre de fonctionnalités, ce qui permet de diminuer les coûts de fabrication.Thus, inadvertent support on these keyboard control keys, in a bag for example or during a manipulation without precaution, do not cause unwanted control, but only one status query. This configuration also limits the number of keys and the implementation of features, which allows to reduce manufacturing costs.

    Le verrouillage des fonctions de commande se fait ainsi par commutation sur un mode fonctionnel différent, en particulier un mode d'interrogation d'état. Ce verrouillage consiste à inactiver les émissions d'ordres de certaines commandes, sans toutefois bloquer le clavier qui sert alors à l'interrogation d'état. Dans ce mode, même un appui involontaire sur le clavier n'aura pas d'effet sur l'équipement. Par contre, au moins certaines commandes intempestives sont exclues. Le déverrouillage rend le clavier entièrement actif pour effectuer une commande.Locking of the control functions is thus done by switching in a different functional mode, in particular a query mode state. This lockout consists of inactivating certain commands, without however blocking the keyboard which is then used to state interrogation. In this mode, even an involuntary support on the keyboard will have no effect on the equipment. On the other hand, at least some Inadvertent controls are excluded. Unlocking makes the keyboard fully active to place an order.

    Dans le mode dit « verrouillé », certaines touches de commande peuvent rester actives. C'est par exemple le cas de la touche de commande 4e qui permet pour répondre à des mesures de sécurité d'émettre des ordres d'arrêt des équipements même lorsque l'émetteur est dans le mode « verrouillé ».In the so-called "locked" mode, some control buttons may stay active This is for example the case of the 4th order key which allows to respond to security measures to issue equipment stop orders even when the transmitter is in the "locked" mode.

    Suite à une action représentée par la flèche 27, par exemple une ergonomie particulière, de type séquence d'appuis, appuis successifs ou prolongés, sur les touches du clavier ou l'actionnement d'un bouton séparé, l'émetteur d'ordres bascule du mode opérationnel d'interrogation d'état dit « verrouillé » au mode de commande dit « déverrouillé » et représenté par le bloc 28. Dans ce mode, un appui sur l'une des touches de commande entraíne la préparation d'un ordre de commande représenté par le bloc 30 et l'émission de cet ordre de commande représenté par la flèche 31. Une fois reçue par le récepteur lié à l'équipement la commande est exécutée au bloc 32.Following an action represented by the arrow 27, for example a particular ergonomics, of sequence type of supports, successive supports or prolonged, on the keys of the keyboard or the actuation of a button separate, the command transmitter switches from the operational mode of interrogation state says "locked" to the command mode says "unlocked" and represented in block 28. In this mode, pressing one of the keys command leads to the preparation of a command order represented by block 30 and the issuance of this command order represented by the arrow 31. Once received by the receiver linked to the equipment the command is executed at block 32.
