Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Industrial application field" The present invention relates to a remote control device for operating a video or audio device such as a video tape recorder from a remote position.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a plurality of video or audio devices are remotely controlled by a single handheld device (remote controller), the functions of the operation keys are switched according to the device to be operated. There was a technology to prevent an increase in the size of the hand controller due to the increase.

"Problems to be Solved by the Invention" In the prior art, the operation key arrangement and the number of keys for each device are limited to the original operation key arrangement and the number of keys of the hand-held operating device, so that there is no mistake in key pressing. In addition, it is difficult to set an appropriate key arrangement, and the number of keys that can be used is limited due to insufficient number of keys. Also, since only one operation key (function) is provided on the operation surface, for example, two functions can be remotely controlled simultaneously. In such a case, there is a problem that it takes time and effort.

However, the present invention is a remote control device for controlling a plurality of video or audio devices by remote control. A display unit that does not hide the display unit even when the lid is closed,
In addition, the remote control keys are provided separately for the hand-held operation device and the lid.

[Operation] Therefore, according to the present invention, in addition to the original remote control keys, remote control keys for other devices can be provided on the same hand-operated device without increasing the size thereof. The remote control key layout and the number of keys for other devices can be freely set without limiting the key layout and the number of keys, eliminating the cause of key press mistakes and the versatility of the hand-held operation device due to the shortage of keys. The operation surface has at least two remote control keys (functions) and a display that displays the operation details, improving operability when remotely controlling multiple devices simultaneously. It can be done.

Further, the remote operation key group provided on the lid can learn the operation function of another hand-operated operation device and emit the stored remote operation code signal, so that the above operation can be further promoted and obtained. The remote control keys (functions) for the devices can be unitized and configured, the combination of the devices to be operated can be freely determined, and the display unit can be provided on the hand-operated device side. The structure can be made simpler, and the manual operation device can be easily assembled.

"Example" Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are explanatory plan views. A flat box-shaped hand-operated device (1) is provided with a lid (2) for learning operation on the upper half thereof so as to be freely opened and closed. Attach.

As shown in FIG. 2, a dedicated remote control unit (3) for a video tape recorder is disposed on the upper surface of the hand-operated device (1) adjacent to the mounting position of the cover (2). ), A video reservation input unit (4) also serving as fixed keys (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0) on the upper surface, and a video tape A reservation operation unit (5) for transferring a reservation input to the recorder; a liquid crystal display unit (6) for displaying time and operation contents; a setting unit (7) for classifying a video or audio device to be learned; ) Mode switches (8) and (9) for switching between a function and a learning (memory) function.

As shown in FIG. 3, a transparent window (10) for viewing the display unit (6) is provided on the lid (2), and a power supply operation unit (11) for selecting a video or audio device; Alternatively, a learning operation unit (12) for remotely controlling an audio device is provided on the lid (2). As shown in FIG. 1, a hand operation device (13) of another device is connected to the hand operation device. Close to (1),
The system is configured so that a remote operation code input from the outside is learned and stored, and the stored remote operation code is output from the local operation device (1) to remotely control a plurality of video or audio devices.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the liquid crystal display section (6) is connected to a control circuit (16) having a ram (RAM) (14) and a ROM (ROM) (15), and a key switch input circuit ( 17) and the gate circuit (18) with the control circuit (1
6), and a photodiode (19) for inputting a remote control signal from the outside is connected to a gate circuit (18) via an amplifier (20), while an infrared light emitting device (21) for emitting a remote control signal is connected. ) Is connected to a gate circuit (18) via a driver (22). A timer reservation is displayed on the liquid crystal display (6), and the contents displayed on the display (6) are displayed on a video tape recorder or the like. A hand-held reservation function for batch transfer, a clock function for clock display and clock data transfer, a fixed key operation function for controlling a specific video tape recorder by transmitting a specific key code, and another television or video tape recorder or video disk It is configured to perform a storage function of learning and storing a remote operation key code of a player or the like.

This embodiment is constructed as described above, and as shown in FIG. 1, another hand operation device (13) is arranged facing the hand operation device (1), and is shown in the flowchart of FIG. After confirming that the cover (2) has been opened, the mode switch (9) is set to the storage side, and "start" is displayed on the display (6).
Is displayed blinking, and while learning preparation is performed by a learning key operation of the setting unit (7), when a remote operation code is externally input by a key operation to be remembered by the hand operation device (13), a learning memory operation is performed. The remote control code input from the outside is stored, and "END" is displayed on the display unit (6).
Then, after a certain period of time, "start" is again displayed on the display unit (6).
Is flashed, and the operation of storing the externally input remote control code is repeatedly performed. On the other hand, by setting the mode switch (8) to the remote control side, the remote control code signal stored by learning is transmitted to the learning operation unit (12). It is fired from the hand-operated device (1) toward a video or audio device by an operation. The remote-control code of another device is stored by the learning function of the hand-operated device (1), and the hand-operated device (1) is operated. It can also be used for remote control of multiple devices.

"Effects of the Invention" As is clear from the above embodiments, the present invention is a remote control device for controlling a plurality of video or audio devices by remote control, and includes a hand-operated device (1) and an openable / closable lid (2). )When,
A display unit (6) for displaying operation contents;
The display unit (6) is not concealed even when is closed, and the remote control key group is composed of the hand-operated device (1) and the lid (2).
And remote control keys for other devices in addition to the original remote control keys can be provided on the same hand-held operation device (1) without increasing the size thereof.
Therefore, the remote operation key arrangement and the number of keys for other devices can be set freely without limiting the original operation key arrangement and the number of keys of the hand-operated device (1). The limitation of the versatility of the hand-held operation device (1) due to the shortage can be solved, and the operation surface has at least two remote operation keys (functions) and a display section (6) for displaying the operation contents. This has a practical effect of improving operability when remotely controlling a plurality of devices at the same time.

In addition, the remote control key group provided on the lid (2) can further obtain the above-described operation by learning the operation function of another hand-operated device and emitting the stored remote control code signal. The remote control keys (functions) for other devices can be configured as a unit, and the combination of the devices to be operated can be freely determined. ) Side, the structure of the lid (2) situation can be made simpler, and there is a practical effect that the hand controller (1) can be easily assembled.
