[0015]

In the secret electric lock operating device according to the present invention as set forth in claim 1, the code for the secret code (numbers, characters, symbols, etc.) is displayed on the display by rotating the trackball. Can be sequentially switched and displayed. Then, when the input confirmation switch is operated with the desired code displayed, the data of the code can be confirmed and input as the code for the secret code, and the data of this code is operated from the signal transmission means to the electric lock. It will be sent to the unit. Therefore, it is not necessary to repeatedly operate the operation keys many times when the code is switched and displayed when the personal identification code is input, and the operation can be easily and quickly performed by rotating the trackball. In addition, according to the switching display of the codes by operating the trackball, there is no possibility that the personal identification code is decoded by an outsider by the trackball. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to provide a large number of keys for inputting the personal identification code, the overall size can be reduced.

In the secret electric lock operating device according to the second aspect of the present invention, the trackball may be pressed when the data of the code displayed on the display unit is confirmed and input. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide an operation key for an input confirmation switch separately from the trackball, and the secret electric lock operation device can be further downsized.

In the secret electric lock operating device according to the third aspect of the present invention, the mode can be changed to the function mode for controlling the device by executing a predetermined operation with the trackball. Then, after that, by operating the trackball according to a certain procedure, the desired contents of the function function setting (for example, ON / OFF of the lighting device at the entrance) are selected, and a control signal for instructing execution of the function function is selected. The signal can be transmitted from the signal transmission means to the operation unit side of the electric lock. Therefore, not only the unlocking operation of the electric lock but also the execution of other function functions can be easily performed by operating the trackball.

In the secret electric lock operating device according to the present invention as defined in claim 4, it is possible to input a desired code for the personal identification code by touching the touch panel, and the personal identification code entered and confirmed on the touch panel. The data of the code for use can be transmitted to the operation unit side of the electric lock. Therefore, a large number of operation keys are not required for inputting the personal identification code, and it is not necessary to perform complicated operation of the operation keys. Since the code input by touching the touch panel is displayed on the display unit arranged on the back side of the transparent touch panel, the operator can appropriately confirm the content of the code to be input while inputting the personal identification code. You can do it. Further, since the touch panel and the display means are provided in an overlapping state, they do not occupy a large area when they are attached to the secret electric lock operation device, and the secret electric lock operation device can be downsized. It will be possible.

In the secret electric lock operating device according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, when the touch panel is touch-operated, the light-emitting portion at a position corresponding to the touch-operation position emits light. By touching the touch panel as described above, a desired code can be displayed in 7 segments. Then, the code data displayed in the seven segments can be confirmed and input as the code data for the secret code.

In the secret electric lock operating device according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, when the touch panel is touched,
Of the 7-segment light emitting unit that emits light in a constant state in advance, the portion corresponding to the touch operation position of the touch panel switches to a light emitting state different from that of the other light emitting units.
Therefore, it goes without saying that the contents of the inputted code can be properly confirmed, and since the 7 segments have been emitted in advance when the code is inputted, the code input operation can be properly performed even at night, for example. .

In the secret electric lock operating device according to the present invention as set forth in claim 7, by operating the light emitting buttons arranged in the 7-segment shape, the desired code can be displayed by the light emitting buttons of the 7-segment shape. By doing so, the input operation of the data of this code can be performed, and this can be transmitted to the operation unit of the electric lock. Therefore, when inputting the personal identification code, the troublesome operation of repeatedly operating a predetermined operation switch a number of times is unnecessary. Further, if the light emitting buttons are arranged in a 7-segment shape, one light emitting button is also used for data input of a plurality of types of codes, so there is no fear that the personal identification code will be deciphered due to dirt on the light emitting button. .
Furthermore, since the light emitting button itself also serves as the display portion, the mounting area does not become large unlike the case where the operation button and the display portion are provided separately.

In the secret electric lock operating device according to the present invention as defined in claim 8, when the light emitting button is operated, the code of the personal identification code is determined in accordance with a predetermined rule of the operation pattern of the light emitting button. The data of the code is transmitted to the electric lock operation unit. Therefore, even if a specific light-emitting button is dirty, the code cannot be discriminated by itself, and even if you know the code, you must unlock the electric lock unless you know the rules for the operation pattern of the light-emitting button. It will be impossible to do. As a rule of the operation pattern of the light emitting button, the same light emitting button can be used in common even when inputting different codes, so that it is possible to use many kinds of codes without increasing the number of light emitting buttons so much. The input operation can be performed.

In the secret electric lock operating device according to the present invention as defined in claim 9, since the plurality of light emitting buttons of the operating portion are arranged in the same state as the arrangement of the eyes of the dice, the operator operates the light emitting button. The pattern rules are easy to remember, and the operation of inputting the personal identification code becomes easy.
