Hereinafter, the configuration of the transmission device 3 will be described in detail.

  The storage unit 31 is configured by a memory such as a RAM or a ROM, and this memory stores room ID information. This room ID information is read by the control unit 34. The room ID information may be rewritten by the control unit 34. This rewriting is performed, for example, in response to an operation of an operation button, an operation panel or the like (not shown) provided on the transmission device 3 or an external device (not shown) such as a personal computer connected to the transmission device 3. .

  The transmission unit 32 is configured by a wireless communication circuit that enables wireless communication using infrared rays or radio waves with the remote controller 2. The transmission unit 32 transmits room ID information to the remote controller 2 based on a signal from the control unit 34. The human detection unit 33 includes a human sensor such as a heat ray sensor or an ultrasonic sensor. This human sensor sends a detection signal to the control unit 34 when detecting the user U who has entered the room.

  The electric device 10 that has received the control signal from the remote controller 2 operates in accordance with the control signal. In this way, the remote controller 2 selects the control content according to the combination of the user ID information and the room ID information with the reception of the room ID information from the transmission device 3 as a trigger, and controls the electric device 10 to be controlled. Since the control signal is transmitted, the electric apparatus 10 is automatically remotely controlled. Accordingly, since the user U only needs to carry the remote controller 2, it is possible to reduce the trouble of operating the remote controller 2 when the electric device 10 is remotely controlled. Further, since the number of electric devices 10 to be remotely controlled by the remote controller 2 and the number of operation contents thereof can be increased or decreased simply by rewriting the control contents in the control table T, the number of objects to be controlled and the operation contents have increased. Even in this case, it is not necessary to add an operation button or the like for remotely controlling the control target. For this reason, the size of the remote controller 2 can be kept constant. Therefore, the remote controller 2 can be prevented from becoming large.

  Next, a modified example of the remote control system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 shows the configuration of the remote controller 2 according to this modification, and FIG. 5 shows an example of the control table T according to this modification. The remote control system 1 is different from the configuration of the first embodiment in that the time zone is further combined with the combination of the user ID information and the room ID information, and the control content is selected according to these combinations. is there. In order to enable such selection, the remote controller 2 further includes a time measuring unit 26 that measures time as compared with the configuration of the first embodiment. Further, in the control table T, the time zone is further included in the parameters for determining the control content, as compared with the content of the first embodiment. For example, the combination of the user ID information “A”, the room ID information indicating “living room”, and the time zone “6: 00-8: 00” includes “(power) ON”, “ “(Power) ON” of “air conditioner” 10b and “(Power) ON” of “lighting (appliance)” 10c are associated with each other.

  The control unit 24 recognizes the time when the receiving unit 23 receives the room ID information based on a signal from the time measuring unit 26. Further, the control unit 24 refers to the control table T stored in the storage unit 22 with the reception of the room ID information as a trigger, and uses the user ID information generated by the information generation unit 21 and the use in the control table T. The person ID information is collated. Further, if they match, the control unit 24 responds to the combination of the matching user ID information, the room ID information received by the receiving unit 23, and the time zone including the time indicated by the time measuring unit 26. To select the control content. Note that the clock unit 26 may indicate not only the time but also the day of the week and date, and the control table T may include the day of the week and date in the parameters for determining the control content, and the control content may be selected according to the day of the week and date. Absent. In the present modification, the effects of the first embodiment can be obtained, and the electric device 10 to be automatically controlled and the operation content thereof can be set according to the time zone, so that the convenience can be further improved. .

  Next, a remote control system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 shows the configuration of the remote controller 2 according to this embodiment, and FIG. 7 shows an example of the control table T according to this embodiment. 6 and 7, the same members as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals (hereinafter the same). The remote control system 1 of the present embodiment differs from the configuration of the first embodiment in that the remote control 2 further includes a switch unit 27 (operation unit) for selecting control contents. Further, in the control table T, The difference is that the control content is further preset for each combination of user ID information and room ID information and for each operation content of the switch unit 27.

  The switch unit 27 includes, for example, three switches SW27a, 27b, and 27c. The number of switches SW is not limited to three and may be any number. The switch unit 27 is pressed down by the user U to select control contents, and sends an operation signal to the control unit 24 in response to the pressing operation of the switches SW27a, 27b, and 27c.

  In the control table T, the control content is set for each operation content of the switch unit 27. Specifically, the control contents are set corresponding to the respective pressing operations of the switches SW27a, 27b, and 27c. This control content is set for each combination of user ID information and room ID information, and is automatically selected by the control unit 24 when room ID information is received as shown in the first embodiment. It is set separately from the contents. For example, in the combination of the room ID information indicating the user ID information “A” and “living room”, the “illumination (appliance)” 10c “forward (for dimming control)” corresponding to the switch SW27a, the switch SW27b "(Power) ON / OFF" of "TV" 10a is associated with "," and "(Power) ON / OFF" of "Air conditioner" 10b is associated with switch SW27c. Further, the above control content is read by the control unit 24 and can be rewritten. This rewriting is performed, for example, in response to an operation of an operation button or the like (not shown) provided on the remote controller 2 or an external device (not shown) such as a personal computer connected to the remote controller 2.

  The control unit 24 uses the user U to press down the switches SW27a, 27b, and 27c, that is, the operation signal sent from the switch unit 27 as a trigger, and the user ID information and control table generated by the information generation unit 21. The user ID information in T is collated. Furthermore, when these match as a result of the collation, the control unit 24, according to the combination of the matched user ID information, the room ID information received by the receiving unit 23, and the operation content of the switch unit 27, The control content is selected from the control content set in the control table T. Such a selection is performed in addition to the automatic selection of control contents shown in the first embodiment, that is, the selection of control contents triggered by reception of room ID information.

  In the present embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, it is possible to reduce the trouble of operating the remote controller 2 during the remote control of the electric device 10 by the automatic control of the electric device 10. In addition, when the user U operates the switch unit 27 of the remote controller 2 in accordance with his / her desire, the electric device 10 and its operation different from the automatically controlled electric device 10 and its operation can be further remotely controlled. For this reason, the convenience can be improved. Further, by increasing the number of electric devices 10 and their operation contents registered as control targets in automatic control in the control table T, and reducing the number of switches of the switch unit 27 while improving the convenience described above. The size of the remote controller 2 can be reduced.

  Next, a remote control system according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 shows a control table T according to the present embodiment. Compared with the configuration of the second embodiment, the remote control system 1 of the present embodiment has a storage table 22 that controls the operation frequency for each operation content of the switch unit 27 for each combination of user ID information and room ID information. It differs in that it is further stored in T.

  The storage unit 22 stores the past operation history of the switch unit 27, that is, the past operation frequency of the switches SW27a, 27b, and 27c in the control table T for each combination of user ID information and room ID information. For example, in the combination of the room ID information indicating the user ID information “C” and “study room”, the storage unit 22 operates the frequency of the operation of the switch SW 27a, that is, “(dimming control) of the“ lighting (appliance) ”10c. It is stored in the control table T that the frequency of “sequential feed” (for) is executed twice.

  The control unit 24 records the operation frequency of the switches SW27a, 27b, and 27c in the control table T. Furthermore, after a predetermined period of time has passed, the control unit 24 changes the control content having a high execution frequency based on the operation of the switch unit 27 into the room ID information for each combination of the user ID information and the room ID information in the control table T. Set the control content to be automatically selected when receiving. In this way, the control content executed when the room ID information is received is updated as needed. Therefore, when the reception unit 23 receives the room ID information, the control unit 24 controls the control content of the control table T using the reception as a trigger according to the combination of the user ID information, the room ID information, and the high execution frequency. It is selected from the control contents set in. At the time of the above update, the content set for automatic selection may be set as the control content selected based on the operation of the switch unit 27. Further, this history may be initialized by deleting the operation history.

  Here, the operation of the control unit 24 will be described with an example. For example, in the control table T, as the control content executed based on the operation of the switches SW27a, 27b, and 27c, the combination of the room ID information indicating the user ID information “C” and “study room” is “lighting (appliance ) ”10c“ Progress (for dimming control) ”,“ TV ”10a“ (Power) ON / OFF ”and“ Audio ”(not shown)“ (Power) ON / play ” Suppose that In addition, it is assumed that these execution frequencies are 2, 8, and 4, respectively. In this case, since the execution frequency of “(power) ON / OFF” (indicated by a broken line frame) of the “TV” 10a is the highest, the control unit 24 automatically selects this control content when receiving room ID information. Set to content (indicated by dashed arrows). In addition, the control unit 24 replaces “(power) ON / OFF” of the “television” 10a with “(power) ON” of the “stand” (not shown) that has been automatically selected until now. / OFF "(indicated by a broken line frame) is set to the control content selected based on the operation of the switch SW27b.

  Also in this embodiment, the effect by 1st and 2nd embodiment can be acquired. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the remote controller 2 executes the control content set corresponding to the operation content with a high operation frequency, triggered by reception of the room ID information from the transmission device 3, so that the user U The electric device 10 that the user desires to operate and its operation are automatically controlled. For this reason, according to the fluctuation | variation of the life pattern of the user U, the remote control system 1 can be improved automatically so that the user U can use it easily. Moreover, the trouble of remote control 2 operation at the time of remote control of the electric equipment 10 can be reduced.

  Next, a remote control system according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 show the configuration of the remote control system 1 according to the present embodiment. The remote control system 1 is different from the configuration of the third embodiment in that communication between the remote controls 2 is possible. Here, the remote controller 2 carried by the user U1 is referred to as a remote controller 2A, and the remote controller 2 carried by the user U2 is referred to as a remote controller 2B.

  The receiver 23 of the remote controller 2B receives the control signal when the transmitter 25 of the remote controller 2A transmits a control signal to, for example, the television 10a, the air conditioner 10b, and the lighting fixture 10c. Based on this control signal, the control unit 24 of the remote control 2B recognizes the control content selected by operating the switch unit 27 in the remote control 2A. In addition, the control unit 24 of the remote controller 2B increments and records the execution frequency of the control content that is the same as the control content and is set for each operation content of the switch unit 27 of itself. This recording is executed for each combination of user ID information and room ID information. In order to notify the remote controller 2B of the user ID information of the user U of the remote controller 2A and the room ID information of the room where the remote controller 2A is located, the remote controller 2A superimposes such information on the control signal, for example.

  Also in this embodiment, the effect by 1st and 2nd embodiment and the effect which can reduce the effort of operation of the remote control 2 which 3rd Embodiment show | plays can be acquired. Further, in the present embodiment, compared to the third embodiment, the remote controller 2B stores the operation history of the other remote controller 2A by another user U1 when used by the user U2, and therefore other users U1. More operation history can be used when using the Therefore, since the remote controller 2 executes the control content set corresponding to the operation content having a high operation frequency, the remote control system can be used more easily by the user U according to the variation of the life pattern of the user U. 1 can be improved.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the structure of the said 1st thru | or 4th embodiment, A various deformation | transformation is possible according to the intended purpose. For example, the remote control system 1 is not limited to a residence, but can be applied to other types of buildings such as office buildings.
