Embodiment
Below, an embodiment of the invention are described.
<embodiment 〉
Having the note amplifier 1 of the related regulating device of embodiments of the present invention as shown in Figure 1, is the amplifier that is used for Caraok device etc. with 4 knob 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D.Knob 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D are respectively the level of sound volume of controlling microphone (MIC), the grade of echo (ECHO), the level of sound volume of accompaniment (MUSIC), the knob of interval change (KEY CONTROL).Below, describe as an example of each structure related with knob 10C (being designated hereinafter simply as knob 10) example.
Knob 10 has as shown in Figure 2: rotary manipulation spare 101; And illuminating part 200, its be configured in rotary manipulation spare 101 around.Illuminating part 200 makes luminance change with the rotation of rotary manipulation spare 101 accordingly.In this example, the dial that has light transmission in the numerical portion from " 0 " to " 10 " and scale part, be disposed at light emission direction the place ahead of illuminating part 200, the user is by observing by from the transmitted light of dial and luminous numeral can be identified the indicated value of being set by knob-operated.
Use Fig. 3 to describe the structure of knob 10 in detail.Fig. 3 means the key diagram of the surface structure of knob 10.Rotary manipulation spare 101 has turning axle 1010, can be rotated operation centered by this turning axle 1010.The rotary manipulation spare that this rotary manipulation spare 101 and common rotary encoder use in the same manner can (clockwise direction counterclockwise) unrestrictedly be rotated operation, and rotation amount is unrestricted to any sense of rotation.
Illuminating part 200 have a plurality of light-emitting component 201-0, the 201-1 such as LED ... 201-10 (below, in the situation that do not carry out distinguishing separately, be called light-emitting component 201).Each light-emitting component 201 be positioned at rotary manipulation spare 101 around, the angle of launching centered by the turning axle 1010 of this rotary manipulation spare 101 in starting point scope to terminal, be configured along the interval of the circumference centered by this turning axle 1010 with equalization.For example, each light-emitting component 201 is configured on the circumference of the predetermined radius larger than the radius of rotation operating parts 101 centered by turning axle 1010.
In addition, illuminating part 200 utilizes a plurality of light-emitting components 201 of configuration in the manner described above, controls by regulation described later, carries out luminous in the angular extensions alpha of the regulation at least centered by turning axle 1010.Here, the angular extensions alpha of regulation be from 1st angle corresponding with the starting point of angle extremely with the scope of the 2nd angle corresponding to terminal point, in this example, the direction of supposing to stipulate (for example, the vertical below) be benchmark angle increase along clockwise direction, the 1st angle is 40 °, and the 2nd angle is 320 °, and angular extensions alpha is 280 °.Each light-emitting component 201 of configuration has the position relationship corresponding with each numeral of above-mentioned dial in the manner described above.For example, light-emitting component 201-0 is configured on the position corresponding with the digital " 0 " of dial, and light-emitting component 201-1 is configured on the position corresponding with the numeral " 1 " of dial.Therefore, utilize the luminous of light-emitting component 201 and the demonstration numeral, for example, if light-emitting component 201-1 is luminous, show " 1 ".In addition, also can not use dial, and form the shape of numeral by the shape that makes light-emitting component 201 self, show thus numeral.
Below, use Fig. 4 that the structure of note amplifier 1 is described.Fig. 4 means the block diagram of the structure of note amplifier 1.Rotary encoder 100 has above-mentioned rotary manipulation spare 101 and signal efferent 102.The signal efferent 102 output signals corresponding with the rotation of rotary manipulation spare 101.
If make rotary manipulation spare 101 to clockwise direction (the 1st direction) rotation, signal efferent 102 is exported the signal that progressively increases, if to counterclockwise (the 2nd direction) rotation, signal efferent 102 is exported the signal that successively decreases.In this example, the signal that progressively increases is made of pulse signal A, B combination, forms the phase place of pulse signal B than the relation of leading 90 ° of pulse signal A.In addition, every rotation predetermined angular just produces pulse.Be set as in this example, if with about 6.5 ° of rotary manipulation spare 101 rotation, produce 1 pulse, if rotate 280 °, produce 43 pulses.In addition, for the signal that successively decreases, except the relation of phase place than 90 ° of pulse signal A hysteresis with pulse signal B, identical with the signal that progressively increases.
110 calculating of indicated value efferent are also exported with the indicated value of the operational correspondence of rotary manipulation spare 101.110 pairs of pulses from progressively increase signal and the signal that successively decreases of signal efferent 102 outputs of rotary encoder 100 of indicated value efferent detect, if the pulse of the signal that progressively increases detected, make indicated value increase the processing of progressively increasing of " 1 ", if the pulse of the signal that successively decreases detected, make indicated value reduce the processing of successively decreasing of " 1 ", and export the indicated value that calculates thus at any time.Therefore, the indicated value that calculates is directly proportional to the rotation amount of rotary manipulation spare 101.This output can be carried out when each indicated value changes, and also can export at certain intervals.
In addition, preset lower limit and the higher limit of indicated value in indicated value efferent 110, in this example, the lower limit of indicated value is set as " 0 ", and higher limit is set as " 43 ".In addition, indicated value efferent 110 is processed progressively increasing to process and successively decrease, so that the mode that indicated value is not less than lower limit and is not more than higher limit is calculated indicated value.Therefore, be that higher limit is namely when " 43 " in indicated value, even the pulse of the signal that progressively increases detected, the processing of also not progressively increasing, and indicated value is remained " 43 ", be that lower limit is namely when " 0 ", even the pulse of the signal that successively decreases detected in indicated value, the processing of also not successively decreasing, and indicated value is remained " 0 ".
This lower limit and higher limit are set as following relation, namely, when the indicated value of output is lower limit, in the situation that make rotary manipulation spare 101 be equivalent to from the 1st angle to the 2 angles rotation amount, be that the rotation amount of the luminous related angular extensions alpha of illuminating part 200 is rotated, the indicated value of exporting is changed to higher limit.Thus, be lower limit namely when " 0 " in the indicated value of output, if the user with rotary manipulation spare 101 to the clockwise direction rotation, rotation amount reaches 280 °, 110 pairs of indicated values of indicated value efferent are calculated, with the indicated value of exporting progressively increase to higher limit be " 43 ".
And rotation amount rotary manipulation spare 101 as noted above due to indicated value proportionally changes, so the indicated value that calculates like this can be scaled from the angle between the 1st angle to the 2 angles.For example, it is corresponding with the 1st angle when indicated value is " 0 ", when the indicated value " 21 " that becomes when being rotated in a clockwise direction roughly 140 °, corresponding with the angle of vertical roughly top, in addition, becoming when continuing to be rotated in a clockwise direction 140 ° and indicated value " 43 " when adding up to 280 ° of rotations, corresponding with the 2nd angle.Therefore, the variable quantity of the angle that is caused by the rotation of rotary manipulation spare 101 is identical with the variable quantity of the angle that can converse according to the indicated value that changes by rotation.
Light emitting control section 111 makes from the indicated value input of indicated value efferent 110 outputs, carries out accordingly the light emitting control of each light-emitting component 201 with this indicated value, thereby the luminance of illuminating part 200 is controlled.Preset the light emitting control table in light emitting control section 111, make the indicated value of input and should be associated by luminous light-emitting component 201 in this light emitting control table.
In this example, the light emitting control table means the table of corresponding relation as shown in Figure 5, as indicated value " 0 "~" 3 " are related with light-emitting component 201-0, indicated value " 4 "~" 7 " are related like this with light-emitting component 201-1, make every 4 indicated values be associated with 1 light-emitting component 201, the light-emitting component 201 that the part on the corresponding circumference of angle that Xiang Yuke converses according to indicated value approaches carries out association.In other words, with cutting apart of the light-emitting component 201 that had with illuminating part 200 between the lower limit of indicated value and higher limit equal in numberly, and be associated with each light-emitting component 201, so that if indicated value increases by 4 grades, with corresponding to the next digital light-emitting component 201 in dial be associated.
Light emitting control section 111 determines the light-emitting component 201 corresponding with the indicated value of input by the light emitting control table, and all light-emitting components 201 of controlling till making from light-emitting component 201-0 to the light-emitting component 201 of determining are lit a lamp.For example, light emitting control section 111 determines light-emitting component 201-3 in the situation that the indicated value of input is " 13 ", makes from light-emitting component 201-0 luminous to light-emitting component 201-0,201-1,201-2,201-3 between light-emitting component 201-3.At this moment, other light-emitting components 201-4,201-5 ... 201-10 is not luminous.As noted above, light emitting control section 111 carries out following control: make the light-emitting component 201 that is configured in the scope till the position corresponding with indicated value as the 1st angle of starting point luminous.
In addition, being controlled by light emitting control section 111 and carry out luminous light-emitting component 201, can be only also corresponding with the indicated value of input and light-emitting component 201 that determine.In addition, also can make the luminous light-emitting component 201 in above-mentioned luminous form opposite with the relation between non-luminous light-emitting component 201, also can be so that the luminous form of light-emitting component 201 flickers of determining be carried out light emitting control.That is as long as luminous with each light-emitting component 201 of luminous form control of the position that can identify the light-emitting component corresponding with the indicated value of inputting 201 of light emitting control section 111, can be, light emitting control arbitrarily.
Control signal efferent 113 makes from the indicated value input of indicated value efferent 110 outputs, uses the map table that is stored in storage part 112, and the indicated value of inputting is scaled controlling value, the control signal of this controlling value of output expression.In this example, control signal is be used to making volume control section described later 114 control the signal of the magnification of enlarging section 115, and the controlling value shown in control signal is magnification., being stored in the map table in storage part 112 here, is the table for the conversion use that indicated value is scaled magnification, and it is large that indicated value more becomes, and it is large that magnification just more proportionally becomes.In addition, in storage part 112, as long as indicated value can be scaled controlling value (magnification), also can store conversion formula, and be not map table.
114 pairs of magnifications of setting in enlarging section 115 of volume control section are controlled, so that it becomes from the magnification shown in the control signal of control signal efferent 113 outputs.Amplify the sound signal Sin of input enlarging section 115 according to the magnification of being controlled by volume control section 114, export as sound signal Sout.
It is the explanation of the structure relevant to the knob 10C of the level of sound volume of controlling accompaniment due to the explanation of this structure, so this sound signal Sin means the sound signal of accompaniment etc. of the Karaoke of the outputs such as illustrated sound source never, but for example in the situation that use this structure, the sound signal of sound signal Sin for exporting by the pickup of not shown microphone in the knob 10A of the level of sound volume of control microphone.As noted above, for note amplifier 1 integral body, have and the corresponding structure shown in Figure 4 of the quantity of knob 10.In addition, the represented controlling value of control signal from 113 outputs of control signal efferent becomes the controlling value corresponding with function separately.Like this, the regulating device in the note amplifier 1 of present embodiment constitute have rotary encoder 100, indicated value efferent 110, light emitting control section 111, storage part 112, control signal efferent 113, illuminating part 200.It is more than the explanation about the structure of note amplifier 1.
Below, in the action when using the knob 10 of Fig. 6 explanation in operating audio amplifier 1, and action that luminance illuminating part 200 change corresponding with the rotary manipulation of rotary manipulation spare 101.
At first, suppose at current time, the indicated value of indicated value efferent 110 last outputs is " 5 ", as shown in Fig. 6 (a), forms light-emitting component 201-0,201-1 luminous, other light-emitting components 201-2,201-3 ..., the non-luminous state of 201-10.
The user operates rotary manipulation spare 101, is rotated in a clockwise direction angle beta (being roughly 90 ° here).Thus, export from signal efferent 102 signal that progressively increases, making from the indicated value of indicated value efferent 110 outputs increases.Then, if the indicated value of output reaches " 8 ", light-emitting component 201-2 is luminous, and then, if indicated value reaches " 12 ", light-emitting component 201-3 is luminous.In addition, if rotate roughly 90 °, indicated value is increased to " 19 ", as shown in Fig. 6 (b), becomes from light-emitting component 201-0 to the luminous state of light-emitting component 201-4.
As noted above, for the note amplifier 1 with the related regulating device of embodiments of the present invention, if the user is rotated operation to the rotary manipulation spare 101 of rotary encoder 100, can be by carrying out accordingly the light emitting control of each light-emitting component 201 with rotation amount, and the luminance of illuminating part 200 is changed.At this moment, because if be rotated with the rotation amount corresponding with angle beta, further make the light-emitting component 201 of the angular range corresponding with angle beta luminous, so the rotation of rotary manipulation spare 101 is corresponding with the luminance of illuminating part 200, even the knob of digital form, also can operate with the operation sense of analog form, the user can easily identify the variation with the indicated value of operational correspondence.
Above, be illustrated for embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention can implement with various forms as shown below.
<variation 1 〉
Also can on the basis of above-mentioned embodiment, telepilot 300 be set as shown in Figure 4, it carries out operated from a distance by radio communication, sends the indication that makes from the indicated value increase and decrease of indicated value efferent output.In the case, telepilot 300 has the operating parts that the indicated value of making increases progressively, successively decreases, and with the operational correspondence ground of operating parts, the output expression makes the indicator signal of the indication of indicated value increasing or decreasing.In addition, as long as indicated value efferent 110 carries out following processing, namely, if get from the indicator signal of telepilot 300 outputs, indicate or the indication of successively decreasing according to progressively increasing of the indicator signal that gets, to indicated value progressively increase processing, the processing of successively decreasing, make from the indicated value increase and decrease of indicated value efferent 110 outputs.Like this, operate by telepilot, even rotary manipulation spare 101 is not rotated, also can change indicated value.
<variation 2 〉
In the above-described embodiment, the rotary manipulation of the luminance of illuminating part 200 and rotary manipulation spare 101 changes accordingly, but also can take the control different from it, such as device informations such as deriving means temperature, according to this information, the luminance of illuminating part 200 be changed.In the case, have as light-emitting mode: normal mode, it changes the luminance of illuminating part 200 and the rotary manipulation of rotary manipulation spare 101 as the enforcement mode accordingly, that is, change accordingly with the control of level of sound volume; And the information output pattern, it changes the luminance of illuminating part 200 and device information accordingly, in addition, makes above-mentioned pattern or specifically operate to switch by the indication of not shown operating unit and gets final product.In addition, as long as the structure of note amplifier 1 adopts the structure that is provided with device information acquisition unit 120 and light-emitting mode switching part 121 to get final product as shown in Figure 7.
Device information acquisition unit 120 is as device information and the unit temp of the established part in deriving means, and the temperature information of the unit temp that expression is got is exported.In addition, be not limited to unit temp as device information, can be also CPU version, program version, verification and etc., so long as get final product in the inner information of using of device, can be any information.
Light-emitting mode switching part 121 is in the situation that light-emitting mode is normal mode, will be from the indicated value of indicated value efferent 110 outputs directly to 111 outputs of light emitting control section.On the other hand, in the situation that light-emitting mode is the information output pattern, obtain from the temperature information of device information acquisition unit 120 output, calculates the indicated value corresponding with temperature information, the indicated value that calculates is exported to light emitting control section 111.
The indicated value of calculating corresponding to temperature information is as long as can change according to the setting of the luminance of illuminating part 200.For example, make light-emitting component 201-0 luminous as unit temp less than 10 ℃, unit temp makes light-emitting component 201-1 so luminous more than or equal to 10 ℃ less than 20 ℃, carry out in luminous situation take 10 ℃ as unit, as long as calculate and export indicated value so that illuminating part 200 becomes the mode of the luminance shown in above-mentioned.For example, if because unit temp is 35 ℃, as long as make light-emitting component 201-3 luminous, so as long as indicated value is made as any in " 12 " to " 15 ".
In addition, in the situation that there are a plurality of knobs 10 as note amplifier 1, also can use illuminating part 200 display device information separately.For example can constitute the light-emitting component 201 that makes each knob 10 luminous, respectively by hundred of the illuminating part 200 display device temperature of knob 10C, by ten of the illuminating part 200 display device temperature of knob 10B, by a position of the illuminating part 200 display device temperature of knob 10A.In the case, as long as the light-emitting mode switching part 121 corresponding with each knob 10, indicated value that respectively will be corresponding with light-emitting component 201 that should be luminous is exported to light emitting control section 111 and is got final product.As noted above, by adopting the structure as shown in this variation, not only can improve the operation sense of rotary manipulation spare 101, can also utilize be used to illuminating part 200 display device information that operation sense is improved.
<variation 3 〉
In the above-described embodiment, be scaled the controlling value of control signal efferent 113 from the indicated value of indicated value efferent 110 output, use but also can be used as the input value of inputting for the various set informations such as the map table in change device.In the case, have as control model: normal mode, it is exported the control signal of the expression controlling value corresponding with the rotary manipulation of rotary manipulation spare 101 as the enforcement mode, and level of sound volume etc. is controlled; And the input information pattern, the operational correspondence of itself and rotary manipulation spare 101 and change various set informations in addition, makes above-mentioned pattern or specifically operate to switch by the indication of not shown operating unit and gets final product.
In addition, as long as the structure of note amplifier 1 forms the structure that is provided with definite switch 130, operator scheme switching part 131 and changing unit 132 and gets final product as shown in Figure 8.Here, storage part 112 a plurality of map tables that the variation when indicated value is transformed to controlling value (for example volume curve) is different (are for example numbered with table, 0,1,2 ..., 10) store explicitly, set a map table that should be used by control signal efferent 113 from above-mentioned map table.
Operator scheme switching part 131 will directly be exported to control signal efferent 113 from the indicated value of indicated value efferent 110 outputs in the situation that control model is normal mode.On the other hand, in the situation that control model is the input information pattern, when having operated definite switch 130, numerical value that will be corresponding with the indicated value of exporting from indicated value efferent 110 is exported to changing unit 132 as input value.Conversion from indicated value to input value is to carry out with reference to the light emitting control table that uses light emitting control section 111, and numeral that will be corresponding with the light-emitting component 201 of determining according to indicated value is as the numerical value of input value.
Determine that switch 130 is operating parts of input being determined by operation.It can be the operating parts that is independent of rotary manipulation spare 101, also can form the structure that works as switch by pressing rotary manipulation spare 101, to the operation of its operational correspondence of pressing in definite switch 130.
Changing unit 132 changes to the map table of setting in storage part 112 and numbers corresponding map table from the table of the represented numerical value of the input value of operator scheme switching part 131 outputs, re-starts setting.As noted above, by adopting the structure as shown in this variation, can be under the state of the operation sense that improves rotary manipulation spare 101, the various set informations in change device.
In addition, for various set informations, can be not only the setting of the map table that should use shown in above-mentioned, can be also the setting etc. of restriction max volume, so long as predefined set information gets final product in device.And, be not limited to set information, also can be by using as the index dial of safety cabinet, and the Password Input when being used for to the conversions such as setting change pattern that can carry out various settings changes uses.
In addition, not only can select the map table that should use as this variation, can also be based on the content of input value correction map table.In addition, also can use a plurality of knobs 10, the indicated value that will obtain by the operation of each rotary manipulation spare 101 makes up, and is transformed to input value, carries out the correction of more complicated set information.If with this input that is used for password, can set complicated password.
variation 4 〉
Also can be on the basis of above-mentioned embodiment, in indicated value efferent 110 outside predefined higher limit, set modifiable higher limit (below, be called the change higher limit).In addition, in the situation that set the change higher limit, the calculating of the indicated value in indicated value efferent 110 is carried out in the mode between the change higher limit that drops on predefined lower limit and set.That is, in the situation that the change higher limit be " 30 ", when the indicated value that calculates at indicated value efferent 110 was " 30 ", even the pulse of the signal that progressively increases detected, indicated value did not increase yet.
If said structure is applied to for example to control in the knob 10C of level of sound volume of accompaniment, can be used as the limiter of determining max volume and use.Here, when using as limiter, only make until luminous with the light-emitting component till the corresponding light-emitting component 201 of indicated value that changes higher limit.For example, if the change higher limit is " 30 ", only make until the light-emitting component till light-emitting component 201-7 is luminous, even rotary manipulation spare 101 is continued to be rotated along clockwise direction operation, light-emitting component 201-8,201-9,201-10 are not luminous yet.On the other hand, for light-emitting component 201-0,201-1,201-2 ..., 201-7 light emitting control, no matter whether be set with limiter, be identical control.
like this, due to when not using limiter, the variation of the luminance of the illuminating part 200 that the control with level of sound volume when namely not setting the change higher limit is corresponding, the variation of the luminance of the illuminating part 200 that the control with level of sound volume when having set the change higher limit is corresponding, identical from lower limit to changing between higher limit in indicated value, so no matter have or not limiter, the user all can operate rotary manipulation spare 101 with identical operation sense, in addition, by confirming the luminance of illuminating part 200, whether can identify by limiter limits max volume.
In addition, the setting of output higher limit for example also can be undertaken by the method for recording and narrating in variation 3, also can be undertaken by the operation of not shown operating unit.In addition, in this variation, be illustrated for the change higher limit, but the change lower limit corresponding with lower limit also can be set, thus, for example can limit minimum volume.
<variation 5 〉
In the above-described embodiment, illuminating part 200 has a plurality of light-emitting components 201 that light sources such as using LED consists of, by the light emitting control to each light-emitting component 201, luminance is changed, but as shown in Figure 9, illuminating part 200 also can use OLED (Organic lightemitting diode) etc., form can be counted as area source, have a structure of the very little a large amount of light-emitting components of size.
If employing aforesaid way, luminance is changed more continuously, the resolution of the progression from lower limit to higher limit that can be worth as indicated and changing, and be not that a plurality of light-emitting components 201 are carried out light emitting control and change the luminance of illuminating part 200.In addition, if the anglec of rotation refinement of each pulse of will progressively increase signal and the signal that successively decreases, and, increase the quantity of light-emitting component to improve precision, can the luminance of illuminating part 200 be changed smoothly.
For example, in the situation that as shown in the enforcement mode, because this progression is 44, so can with from MIN (starting point) until be divided into 44 grades till MAX (terminal point), the luminance of illuminating part 200 be changed.In addition, light emitting control section 111 is as long as determine the light-emitting zone 210 corresponding with indicated value and make it luminous.For example, light emitting control section 111 carries out following control, that is, if be " 23 " from the indicated value of indicated value efferent 110 outputs, as shown in Figure 9, make from the position of MIN until slightly to surpass the interior light-emitting zone 210 of the scope of 1/2nd position luminous.
In addition, in the situation that the input information pattern that the illuminating part 200 that above-mentioned resolution is high is used for as shown in variation 3, as long as will be for the light emitting control table of determining above-mentioned light-emitting zone 210, switch to the light emitting control table that input information uses and process and get final product.Here, the light emitting control table that input information is used, in the mode that decrease resolution to the whole light-emitting zone with the luminance of illuminating part 200 is divided into 10 parts of left and right, the scope of indicated value to be set, thus, in the situation that the numerical value of wanting to input is 1, operation that can be by rotary manipulation spare 101 easily selects to want the numerical value of inputting.
<variation 6 〉
In the above-described embodiment, a plurality of light-emitting components 201 are configured with the interval of equalization, but the interval also can be unequal.For example, also can make configuration space different, adopt make light-emitting component 201-0,201-1 ..., 201-5 configuration space than light-emitting component 201-6,201-7 ..., 201-10 the narrow such configuration of configuration space.If adopt above-mentioned configuration, in the angular extensions alpha of configuration light-emitting component 201, can improve the resolution of the luminance of a part of angular range.
In the situation that adopt above-mentioned configuration, for the luminance of the rotation amount that makes rotary manipulation spare 101 and illuminating part 200 corresponding, as long as make the light emitting control table of setting in light emitting control section 111 corresponding with the configuration of light-emitting component 201.Thus, if rotary manipulation spare 101 is rotated with the rotation amount corresponding with angle beta, can keep the light-emitting component 201 that further makes the angular range corresponding with angle beta and carry out luminous state, can make the luminance of illuminating part 200 and the rotation amount correspondence of rotary manipulation spare 101.
Here, specifically, for the light emitting control table, to change corresponding light-emitting component 201 every 4 grades of indicated values in embodiment, but in the situation that the configuration space that makes as noted above changes, as long as in advance with the configuration space of light-emitting component 201 accordingly, change gets final product the progression of the indicated value that light-emitting component 201 changes.For example, for light-emitting component 201-0,201-1 ..., 201-5, indicated value as corresponding in light-emitting component 201-0 is that " 0 " arrives " 2 ", the corresponding indicated value of light-emitting component 201-1 is that " 3 " arrive " 5 " like this, carries out correspondence every 3 grades of indicated values.In addition, for light-emitting component 201-6,201-7 ..., 201-10, carry out correspondence every general 5 grades of indicated values, make each self-corresponding indicated value be respectively " 18 " arrive " 22 ", " 23 " arrive " 27 " ..., " 38 " arrive " 43 " and get final product.
If employing aforesaid way, in the control of level of sound volume etc., in the situation of the scope that existence is easy to control by meticulous resolution, narrow down by the configuration space that makes the light-emitting component 201 in this scope, thereby the user can be on one side in the scope that need to control with meticulous resolution, luminance to the illuminating part 200 under high-resolution state confirms, on one side rotary manipulation spare 101 is operated.At this moment, even for the different light-emitting component 201 of configuration space, also can be as noted above, by setting accordingly the light emitting control table with configuration space in advance, make the luminous situation correspondence of rotation amount and the illuminating part 200 of rotary manipulation spare 101.
