  FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing an example of the internal configuration of the televisions 20A, 20a. Since the televisions 20A, 20a,... Have almost the same configuration, the television 20A will be described below as a representative.

  As shown in the figure, the television 20A includes an antenna 21, a tuner 22, a signal processing circuit 23, a display unit 24, a signal receiving unit 25, a control unit 26, a data memory 27, a switch 28, and a connector 29. In the figure, reference numeral 21a indicates a clock signal line, and reference numeral 21b in the figure indicates a data signal line. Moreover, although the case where the antenna 21 is connected to the tuner 22 is shown in the figure, a configuration in which the tuner 22 is connected to a cable system instead of the antenna 21 may be used.

  The antenna 21 receives broadcast radio waves. The tuner 22 tunes in response to a channel selection instruction from a television remote control device (not shown). The signal processing circuit 23 processes the video signal from the tuner 22 and displays it on the display unit 24. The display unit 24 is configured by a thin panel such as a liquid crystal display panel, for example, and displays an image. The signal receiver 25 receives an infrared signal from the signal transmitter 12 of the data copy remote control device 10.

  When the control unit 26 as the first control means (or the second control means on the television 20a side) receives a program number that is a channel selection instruction from a TV-dedicated remote control device or the like (not shown), for example, data corresponding to the program number The channel number is read from the memory 27 and the tuning by the tuner 22 is controlled. When the control unit 26 detects that the other end of the cable (not shown) connected between the connector 29 and the connector 11 of the data copy remote controller 10 is attached to the connector 29, the control unit 26 controls the switch 28 with the clock signal line 21a and the data signal. The line 21 b is switched so as to be connected to the connector 29.

  When the control unit 26 receives the transfer request command requesting the change data from the change data request unit 15 a of the data copy remote controller 10, the control unit 26 sends the change data only for the change such as the image quality and the sound quality from the data memory 27. Read and transmit to the data copy remote control device 10 side.

  Further, when the control unit 26 receives the change data only for the change of the image quality, the sound quality and the like from the signal transmission unit 12 of the data copy remote control device 10 via the signal reception unit 25, the control unit 26 performs data memory according to the change data. The data of the corresponding set value in 27 is rewritten.

  In the data memory 27, initial setting values such as image quality and sound quality as shown in FIG. 8 to be described later, setting values that can be changed such as image quality and sound quality as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. Data such as a program number is stored.

  The switch 28 intermittently connects the clock signal line 21 a and the data signal line 21 b to the connector 29 under the control of the control unit 26. The other end of a cable (not shown) connected between the connector 29 of the data copy remote controller 10 is attached to the connector 29.

  Next, a setting data changing method will be described. First, when the data copy remote control device 10 receives change data only for the change in image quality, sound quality, etc. set in the master television 20A, as described above, the connector 11 of the data copy remote control device 10 and the television 20A. A cable (not shown) is attached between the connector 29 and the data copy remote controller 10 and the television 20A.

  At this time, on the TV 20A side, it is detected by the control unit 26 that the other end of the cable (not shown) connected between the connector 29 and the connector 11 of the data copy remote controller 10 is attached, and the switch 28 is clocked. Switching is performed so that the signal line 21 a and the data signal line 21 b are connected to the connector 29.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 6, when the LEARN button 10e of the data copy remote control device 10 is operated (step S1), for example, the above-described transfer request command is output from the changed data request unit 15a to the television 20A via a cable (not shown). Is done.

  At this time, when the above-mentioned transfer request command for requesting the change data from the change data request unit 15a of the data copy remote control device 10 is received by the control unit 26 on the television 20A side, only the change in image quality, sound quality, etc. is received. The changed data is read from the data memory 27 and transferred to the data copy remote control device 10 side (step S2).

  Here, on the TV 20A side, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that setting values such as image quality and sound quality and initial setting values are managed by ID, and the setting values are compared with the initial setting values to change them. Only the changed data of ID1, ID2,... Are transmitted to the data copy remote control device 10, and the data whose set values are not changed are not transmitted. In comparison between the set value and the initial set value, for example, a high-speed comparison is performed by setting a change bit to the changed set value.

  That is, the change data only for the change in image quality, sound quality, etc. is the change from the initial set value set in advance at the time of factory shipment. Initial setting values at the time of factory shipment include those shown in FIGS. 8A to 8G.

  Here, for convenience of explanation, the initial setting value at the time of setting the normal mode will be described. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the initial setting value is as shown in (a) in AV-MODE, and the initial value is set in Picture. The setting value is as shown in (b), the initial setting value is as shown in (c) in Audio, the initial setting value is as shown in (d) in Power Control, Setup The initial setting value is as shown in (e), the initial setting value is as shown in (f) in Option, and the initial setting value is as shown in (g) in Digital Setup. ing.

  On the other hand, as a setting value that can be changed, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the setting value is as shown in (b) -1 in the picture, and as shown in (c) -1 in the audio. In Power Control, it is as shown in (d) -1.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 10, the setup is as shown in (e) -1, the option is as shown in (f) -1, and the digital setup is as shown in (g) -1. It is supposed to be.

  FIGS. 9 and 10 show a case where, for example, a hierarchical structure from the first layer to the fourth layer is used so that various settings can be easily performed. By menu selection displayed on the TV screen, FIG. The setting value is changed.

  Therefore, in response to a request from the change data requesting unit 15a on the data copy remote control device 10 side from the television 20A side, set values that can be changed for those whose initial setting values are shown in (b) to (g). Are changed data as shown in (b) -1 to (g) -1 and only the changed data is output to the data copy remote control device 10 side. Note that STADARD whose initial setting value is indicated by (a) is fixed and is not handled as change data.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6, when the data copy remote control device 10 side receives change data only for the change in image quality, sound quality, etc. from the television 20A side, the change data is stored in any memory in the memory bank 15c, for example. It is stored in the area (step S3). In this case, any one of the memory areas 1 to 3 to be saved may be selected by operating the MEMORY / SELECT button 10j.

  Next, when transmitting the change data only received from the TV 20A side to the other TV 20a, all of the setting values on the TV 20a to be copied (a) to (g) or no change data exist Return to the default setting for.

  In this state, the MEMORY / SELECT button 10j is operated to select one of memory areas 1 to 3 received and stored from the TV 20A side, and the signal transmission unit 12 of the data copy remote control device 10 is set to the TV 20a side. When the TEACH button 10f is operated (step S4), the change data transmission control unit 15b transmits the change data only for the change to the television 20a side (step S5). When the change data is transmitted, a rewrite request command indicating a rewrite request is also transmitted as described above.

  Thus, on the side of the television 20a that has received the change data only for the change, the control unit 26 described above stores the data in the data memory 27 based on the rewrite request command so as to be the same as the content set on the television 20A side. The set value is changed according to the change data for only the change (step S6).

  In this way, the setting values of the other televisions 20a are sequentially returned to the initial setting values for the above-described initial setting values (a) to (g) or those for which no change data exists, and changed from the data copy remote control device 10. By transmitting change data for only minutes, it is possible to change the setting values of all the televisions 20a to be the same as the contents set on the television 20A side.

  As described above, in this embodiment, only the change with respect to the initial setting value of the television 20A is performed by the change data request unit 15a in response to an operation for requesting transfer of the setting data related to the setting of the television 20A as a master by the LEARN button 10e. The change data transferred from the control unit 26, which is the first control means of the television 20A in response to the request, is stored in the memory bank 15c, and the change data by the TEACH button 10f is transferred to another television. The change data stored in response to the operation to be transmitted to 20a is transmitted to the other television 20a by the change data transmission control unit 15b, and the setting of the television 20a is set to the setting of the television 20A by the control unit 26 as the second control means. I was able to match.

  Thereby, the amount of data to be transmitted in order to match the setting of the television 20a with the setting of the television 20A can be reduced, and the time required for data transmission can be greatly shortened.

  The present invention can be applied not only to a television but also to settings in a recording / reproducing apparatus such as an HDD player.
