  Reference numeral 10 denotes a remote controller (remote controller). Reference numeral 20 denotes a video output device (broadcast receiving device). Here, the remote controller (remote control) 10 and the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20 are configured separately, and are configured to perform communication using an infrared remote control transmitter and an infrared remote control receiver described later.

  First, the remote controller (remote controller) 10 will be described.

  Reference numeral 101 denotes a remote control microcomputer, reference numeral 102 denotes a storage means (EEPROM), reference numeral 103 denotes a device switching SW, reference numeral 104 denotes a key detection circuit, reference numeral 105 denotes an infrared remote control transmitter, and reference numeral 106 denotes an infrared remote control receiver.

  The remote controller (remote controller) 10 is provided with operation buttons (operation keys: keys) as shown in FIG. This operation button (operation key) is operated by the user. When an operation button (operation key) is operated (pressed) by the user, the remote controller (remote controller) 10 detects a signal (key signal) corresponding to the operated operation key by the key detection circuit 104. The key signal detected by the key detection circuit 104 is transmitted to the remote control microcomputer 101.

  The remote control microcomputer 101 receives the key signal transmitted from the key detection circuit 104 and outputs a signal corresponding to each key signal to the infrared remote control transmitter 105.

  The infrared remote control transmitter 105 receives a signal corresponding to each key signal output from the remote control microcomputer 101, converts it into an infrared signal, and outputs it to the outside of the remote controller (remote controller) 10.

  Further, as will be described later, the infrared signal (remote control signal) received by the infrared remote control receiver 106 is decoded by the remote control microcomputer 101 by switching the switch by the device switching SW 103, and the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20. The remote control code of each external device 131 (to be described later) connected to is stored in the storage means (EEPROM 102).

  Next, the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20 will be described. Here, the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20 includes broadcast receiving means for receiving a broadcast.

  Reference numeral 110 is a television microcomputer, reference numeral 111 is an antenna, reference numeral 112 is a receiving circuit, reference numeral 113 is an on-screen display generation circuit, reference numeral 114 is an IEEE 1394 control microcomputer, reference numeral 115 is a video / audio switching control circuit, and reference numeral 116 is a video / audio output. Processing circuit, reference numeral 117 is a display unit (CRT), reference numeral 118 is a speaker, reference numeral 119 is an infrared remote control transmitter, reference numeral 120 is an infrared remote control receiver, reference numeral 130 is an I-LINK (R) compatible digital device, and reference numeral 131 is an external device It is a connected device.

  The receiving antenna 111 receives a broadcast signal transmitted from a broadcast station (not shown). The broadcast signal received by the receiving antenna 111 is output toward the receiving circuit 112. The receiving circuit 112 receives a broadcast signal output from the receiving antenna 111 and is controlled by the television microcomputer 110 to select a broadcast, that is, select a channel based on, for example, a frequency. Broadcasting constitutes a video signal and / or an audio signal.

  The video signal and / or audio signal selected by the receiving circuit 112 are output to the video / audio switching control circuit 115.

The video / audio switching control circuit 115 receives the video signal and / or audio signal output from the receiving circuit 112. In addition, a signal (video signal and / or audio signal) output from an external device 131 such as a VTR or a DVD is received.

  Here, the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20 is connected to an i-LINK (R) compatible digital device 130.

  A signal (video signal and / or audio signal) output from the i-LINK (R) compatible digital device 130 is output to the IEEE1394 control microcomputer 114. The IEEE1394 control microcomputer 114 receives a signal (video signal and / or audio signal) output from the i-LINK (R) compatible digital device 130 and outputs it to the video / audio switching control circuit 115. The video / audio switching control circuit 115 receives a signal (video signal and / or audio signal) output from the IEEE1394 control microcomputer 114.

  The video / audio switching control circuit 115 is controlled by the television microcomputer 110. That is, a signal (video signal and / or audio signal) output from the external device 131, a signal (video signal and / or audio signal) output from the receiving circuit 112, and a signal output from the IEEE1394 control microcomputer 114 The (video signal and / or audio signal) is input to the video / audio switching control circuit 115, controlled by the television microcomputer 110, and output to the video / audio output processing circuit 116.

  A remote controller (remote controller) 10 is operated by a user to perform channel selection and input switching. At this time, the remote controller signal output from the remote controller (remote controller) 10 is received by the infrared remote controller receiver 120.

  The remote control signal received by the infrared remote control receiver 120 is transmitted to the television microcomputer 110 and subjected to decoding processing. The television microcomputer 110 controls the video / audio switching control circuit 115 based on the signal subjected to the decoding process.

  Further, the television microcomputer 110 controls the on-screen display generation circuit 113. The on-screen display generation circuit 113 outputs an on-screen display (OSD) signal. An on-screen display (OSD) signal output from the on-screen display generation circuit 113 is input to the video / audio output processing circuit 116 under the control of the television microcomputer 110.

  The video / audio output processing circuit 116 superimposes the on-screen display (OSD) signal output from the on-screen display generation circuit 113 on the video signal and displays it on the CRT (display unit) 117. Further, according to the remote control signal received by the infrared remote control receiver 120, for example, an external device connected to the video input can be set by on-screen display by the on-screen display generation circuit 113.

  Further, the television microcomputer 110 can send a remote control signal from the infrared remote control transmitter 119 to the infrared remote control receiver 106 of the remote controller (remote controller) 10 as necessary. For example, when the input of the video / audio switching control circuit 115 is switched, a remote control signal for notifying an external device corresponding to the switched input is transmitted.

  FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the present invention, and is a diagram showing an outline of a remote controller 10 that controls a video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20.

  Reference numeral 103a denotes a mode changeover SW (mode changeover switch), and reference numeral 103b denotes an external device changeover SW (external device changeover switch). Here, the mode switching SW 103a and the external device switching SW 103b are collectively referred to as a device switching SW 103. The mode switching SW 103a and the external device switching SW 103b are operated by the user. FIG. 2 shows the positions of the mode switching SW 103a and the external device switching SW 103b when a remote control code to be described next is already set.

  First, the operation of storing the remote control code of each external device 131 connected to the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20 in the remote controller (remote controller) 10 will be described.

  Here, the mode switching SW 103a is set to the storage mode (the normal mode in FIG. 2). In addition, a switch is set to an external device (corresponding external device) for which a remote control code is to be stored (AUTO in FIG. 2).

  At this time, the remote control signal output from the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20 and received by the infrared remote control receiver 106 of the remote controller (remote control) 10 is transmitted to the remote control microcomputer 101 and decoded. The decoded remote control code is stored in the EEPROM 102 in association with the external device (corresponding external device) set to be switched.

  Next, an operation after the remote control code of each external device 131 is stored in the remote controller (remote controller) 10 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the mode switch SW 103 of the remote controller (remote controller) 10 is set to the normal mode by the user. Also, when a compatible external device (here, VTR, DVD, TUNER, i-LINK (R)) is selected and set, the remote control code of each external device stored in advance is read from the EEPROM 102 to display the video. It transmits toward the output device (broadcast receiving device) 20.

  Here, the external device switching SW 103b further includes an AUTO mode. When the external device switching SW 103 b is set to the AUTO mode, a remote control signal sent from the infrared remote control transmitter 119 of the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20 is sent to the infrared remote control receiver 106 of the remote controller (remote control) 10. Are received and decoded by the remote control microcomputer 101. The remote control microcomputer 101 discriminates the device ID of the external device 103 set to be connected to the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20 to be described later from the result of decoding the remote control signal sent from the infrared remote control transmitter 119. The external device 103 is specified.

  FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the present invention and is a diagram showing a setting screen for setting an externally connected device 131 connected to the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20. This setting is performed by the user. The setting result is stored in the television microcomputer 110, for example.

  This setting screen is displayed on a display means such as CRT 117, for example. While viewing the setting screen, the user operates the operation buttons shown in FIG. Here, as an example of the external connection device 131, a VTR, a DVD recorder, a game, a CS digital, and a VTR are displayed. These are set by operations such as “select with cursor keys and press enter key”, “completion of settings with end key”, and the like.

  Further, the setting of the externally connected device 131 may be set, for example, by automatic determination when the externally connected device 131 is connected to the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20.

  FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the present invention and is a flowchart for explaining the event flow of the remote controller 10 and the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20.

  Steps denoted by reference numerals 210, 212, and 214 are steps mainly related to the remote controller (remote control body) 10. Steps denoted by reference numerals 211 and 213 are mainly steps related to the video output device (TV main body) 10.

  Step 210 is a step of storing the remote control code of each external device 131 in the remote controller (remote controller) 10 and setting the operation device switching SW (external device switching SW 103b) to AUTO.

  First, as shown in FIG. 2, in the remote controller 10, the user switches the mode switching SW 103b to the storage mode. For example, when the VTR is connected to the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20, the external device switching SW 103b is set to the VTR. Remote control codes such as switching and playback / stop of the VTR remote control attached to the VTR are stored in the remote controller 10 of this system. When a DVD or TUNER is connected to the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20, the remote controller code is stored in the remote controller 10 by the same operation. When this operation is completed, the mode switch SW is switched to the normal mode and the external device switch SW is switched to AUTO. Then, it progresses to step 211.

  Step 211 is a step of setting an external connection device connected to each input in the video input display setting of the TV (video output device (TV main body)) 10.

  In the video output device (TV main body) 10, as shown in FIG. 3, an external input of the TV (video output device (TV main body)) 10 is automatically performed by a user using a screen display or according to an externally connected device. The connected external device is set. Then, it progresses to step 212.

  In step 212, as described above, the input switching key set in the remote controller (remote controller) 10 is converted into a remote control signal and transmitted (output) to the video output device (TV body) 10. Here, the settings of the remote controller (remote controller) 10 and the video output device (TV main body) 10 are completed. When the user operates the input switching key of the remote controller (remote controller) 10, the video output device (TV main body) 10 executes input switching processing. For example, the VTR is switched to the video 1 set as the connected device. At this time, the television microcomputer 110 of the video output device (TV main body) 10 executes processing of a flowchart shown in FIG. Then, it progresses to step 213.

  Step 213 receives the input switching key (infrared remote control signal) transmitted from the remote controller (remote controller) 10 in the video output device (TV main body) 10, and sets the device ID set for the input switched as described above. It is a step to transmit. Then, it progresses to step 214.

  Step 214 is a step in which the remote controller (remote control) 10 decodes the remote control code (infrared remote control signal) transmitted from the video output device (TV main body) 10 to determine the device ID.

  FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the present invention, and is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20.

  When the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20 receives the remote control code (infrared remote control signal) transmitted from the remote controller (remote control) 10 and a so-called remote control interruption occurs, this is a start (START) step. Subsequently, the process proceeds to a step denoted by reference numeral 310.

  Step 310 is a step of decoding the received remote control code (infrared remote control signal) transmitted from the remote controller (remote controller) 10. Then, it progresses to the step which attached | subjected the code | symbol 311.

  Step 311 is a step of determining whether or not the decoded remote control code (infrared remote control signal) is a valid remote control code. If it is determined that the decoded remote control code (infrared remote control signal) is valid, the process proceeds to the step marked 312 (YES). If it is determined that the decoded remote control code (infrared remote control signal) is not valid, the process proceeds to the end step labeled END (No).

  Step 312 is a step in which the television microcomputer 110 performs processing based on the received key data. Subsequently, the process proceeds to a step denoted by reference numeral 313.

  In step 313, a change in the input source (external connection device 113) is monitored, and it is determined whether there is a change in the input source (external connection device 113). If it is determined that there is a change in the input source (external connection device 113), the process proceeds to the step denoted by reference numeral 314 (YES). If it is determined that there is no change in the input source (external connection device 113), the process proceeds to the end step displaying END (No).

  Step 314 is a step of searching for a connected external device from the video input display setting.

  At this time, since it is determined that there is a change in the input source as described above, the connected external device is searched from the video input display setting set in the screen display shown in FIG. Subsequently, the process proceeds to a step denoted by reference numeral 315.

  Step 315 is a step of sending a remote control code having an ID corresponding to the external device. For example, 0x00 is transmitted if the external device is a VTR, 0x01 if the device is a DVD, and 0x02 if the device is connected by i-LINK (R). Subsequently, the process proceeds to an end step labeled END.

  The end step is the end of the processing here.

  FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the present invention and is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the remote controller (remote controller) 10.

  The remote controller (remote control) 10 receives a remote control code (infrared remote control signal) transmitted from the video output device (broadcast receiving device) 20, and when a so-called remote control interruption occurs, this is a start (START) step. Subsequently, the process proceeds to a step denoted by reference numeral 401.

  Step 401 is a step of decoding the received remote control code (infrared remote control signal) transmitted from the remote controller (remote controller) 10. Subsequently, the process proceeds to a step denoted by reference numeral 402.

  Step 402 is a step of determining whether or not the decoded remote control code (infrared remote control signal) is a valid remote control code. If it is determined that the decoded remote control code (infrared remote control signal) is valid, the process proceeds to the step marked 403 (YES). If it is determined that the decoded remote control code (infrared remote control signal) is not valid, the process proceeds to the end step labeled END (No).

  Step 403 is a step in which the remote control microcomputer 101 receives a process based on the received key data and an externally connected device ID. Subsequently, the process proceeds to a step denoted by reference numeral 404.

  Step 404 is a step of monitoring the received change in the external device ID and determining whether or not there is a change in the external device ID. When it is determined that there is a change in the external device ID, the process proceeds to the step denoted by reference numeral 405 (YES). When it is determined that there is no change in the external device ID, the process proceeds to an end step that displays END (No).

  Step 405 is a step of determining whether or not the external device switching SW 103b is set to AUTO. When it is determined that the external device switching SW 103b is set to AUTO, the process proceeds to the step denoted by reference numeral 406 (YES). If it is determined that the external device switching SW 103b is not set to AUTO, the process proceeds to an end step displaying END (No).

  Step 406 is a step for setting the remote control code of the external device operation unit to the designated external device. Subsequently, the process proceeds to an end step labeled END.

  The end step is the end of the processing here.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, if the external device ID is recognized in step 403, the external device ID is changed in step 404, and the external device switching SW is set to AUTO in step 405, the external device operation is performed. The remote control code such as playback / stop of the unit is set as the remote control code of the corresponding device.
