The micro processor (6) contains several minor cells (10) for insertable programs, serving a remote control for several, different electronic appts. (1-4). The programs are controlled by a clock, incorporate in the sample control generator (5). Pref. the programs carry out switching fuctions for the remote controlled electronic appts by preset addressing. The remote control may be used for a preprogrammed switching of the individual electronic appts. as well as for preprogrammable adjustment of the electronic appts. service functions. The remote control generator may be fitted with an indicator (9) for individual keyed addresses and control functions of the appts. USE/ADVANTAGE - Video and audio appts. with unlimited time and appts. selection.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fernbedienung mit einem uP.The invention relates to a remote control with a uP.

Es sind z.B. Videogeräte und Audiogeräte bekannt, die mit Hilfe einer Ultraschall- oder IR-Fernbedienung bedienbar sind. Dane­ ben gibt es Videorecorder mit einer eingebauten Uhr, welche derart vorprogrammiert werden können, daß sie zu gewünschten Zeiten bestimmte Sendungen aufnehmen. Die gleiche Uhr schaltet nach der voreingestellten Zeit die Aufnahme wieder aus. Diese fernbedienbare Programmierung des Videorecorders erfordert jedoch einen besonderen in diesem angeordneten Speicher zur Aufnahme der Programmschritte für die automatischen Schaltvor­ gänge. Andere Geräte ohne derartigen Speicher können auf diese Weise ohne größeren Aufwand nicht bedient werden. For example Video equipment and audio equipment known with the help an ultrasonic or IR remote control can be operated. Dane There are video recorders with a built-in clock, which can be preprogrammed to the desired ones Times to record certain programs. The same clock switches after the preset time, the recording is canceled. These remote-controlled programming of the video recorder required however, a special memory arranged in this Recording of the program steps for the automatic switching pre gears. Other devices without such memory can access this Way are not operated without much effort.  

Es gibt jedoch verschiedene Audio-Komponenten wie z.B. Tuner, Verstärker und Cassettenrecorder, welche ebenfalls fernsteuer­ bar aber in Bezug auf Ein- und Ausschalten nicht vorprogrammier­ bar sind. Man könnte das automatische Ein- und Ausschalten derartiger Geräte dadurch bewirken, daß man in die Netzzuleitun­ gen Zeitschaltuhren einbaut. Außer dem großen Aufwand besitzt diese Maßnahme aber noch den Nachteil, daß andere Programm­ schritte zur Einstellung der einzelnen Geräte nicht durchführ­ bar sind.However, there are various audio components such as Tuner, Amplifiers and cassette recorders, which also remote control bar but not preprogrammed with regard to switching on and off are cash. You could turn it on and off automatically of such devices by causing in the mains supply built in timers. Besides owning the big effort However, this measure has the disadvantage that other programs Do not take steps to set the individual devices are cash.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, mit nur einem Fernbe­ dienungsgeber mehrere elektronische Geräte bedienen und program­ mieren zu können. Die Erfindung besitzt den Vorteil, daß belie­ bige Geräte zu beliebigen Zeitpunkten ein- und ausschaltbar sind, wobei auch noch die einzelnen Einstellwerte der beliebi­ gen Geräte vorprogrammierbar sind.The invention has for its object with only one Fernbe service providers operate multiple electronic devices and program to be able to lubricate. The invention has the advantage that belie other devices can be switched on and off at any time are, whereby also the individual setting values of the arbitrary devices are preprogrammable.

Nachstehend wird die Erfindung mit Hilfe der Zeichnung näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail below with the aid of the drawing explained.

Es ist ein Aufbau gezeigt, der aus mehreren einzelnen Audio-Kom­ ponenten zusammengesetzt ist. Es handelt sich z.B. um einen Tuner 1, einen CD-Spieler 2, einen Tape-Recorder 3 und einen Audio-Verstärker 4, die über codierte Infrarotsignale empfangen­ de Stufen 1a, 2a, 3a und 4a fernsteuerbar sind. Diese Infrarot­ signale werden von einem IR-Sender 5 ausgestrahlt, der seine Fernsteuerinformation aus dem Mikroprozessor 6 empfängt.A structure is shown that is composed of several individual audio components. It is, for example, a tuner 1 , a CD player 2 , a tape recorder 3 and an audio amplifier 4 which can be remote-controlled via stages 1 a, 2 a, 3 a and 4 a via coded infrared signals. These infrared signals are emitted by an IR transmitter 5 , which receives its remote control information from the microprocessor 6 .

An den Mikroprozessor 6 als zentrale Steuereinheit ist ein Dreh-Encoder 7 zur Eingabe von Funktionen zur Steuerung der Geräte angeschlossen. Mit einer mit der Steuereinheit verbunde­ nen Tastatur 8 können Werte der voreingestellten Funktion verändert werden, die in einem flüchtigen Speicher 10 ablegbar sind. Die eingegebenen Daten sind über eine Anzeige 9 anzeig­ bar. In einem nichtflüchtigen Speicher 11 befindet sich die Software der Steuereinheit. A rotary encoder 7 for inputting functions for controlling the devices is connected to the microprocessor 6 as the central control unit. With a keyboard 8 connected to the control unit, values of the preset function can be changed, which can be stored in a volatile memory 10 . The data entered can be displayed via a display 9 . The software of the control unit is located in a non-volatile memory 11 .

In dem flüchtigen Speicher 10 können nun vorprogrammierte Daten wie Uhrzeiten als Ein- und Ausschaltzeiten für die elektroni­ schen Geräte 1-4 abgelegt werden. Außerdem sind in dem Spei­ cher 10 z.B. einzelne Werte für die Empfangsfrequenz des Tu­ ners, zur Einstellung der Lautstärke, Höhen und Tiefen und der Balance des Verstärkers, Stückwahl für den CD-Spieler oder auch für den Tape-Recorder ablegbar.In the volatile memory 10 , pre-programmed data such as times can be stored as on and off times for the electronic devices 1-4 . Also, in the mo ry 10, for example, are individual values for the reception frequency of the Tu listeners, to adjust the volume, bass and treble and balance the amplifier, tune selection for the CD player or the tape recorder can be stored.

Auf diese Weise können zu den gewünschten Zeitpunkten unter­ schiedliche Sendungen empfangen oder aufgenommen oder wiederge­ geben werden. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Fernbedienung ist man unabhängig von individuellen, jedem elektronischen Gerät zuge­ ordneten Fernsteuergebern zur Zeitprogrammierung, weil sämtli­ che Geräte von der gleichen Einheit aus fernbedient werden kön­ nen.This way you can at the desired times under received or recorded different programs or reproduced will give. One is by the remote control according to the invention regardless of individual, each electronic device assigned remote control transmitters for time programming, because all devices can be operated remotely from the same unit nen.

Eine praktische Anwendung der angemeldeten Fernbedienung kann man sich z.B. in der Weise vorstellen, indem diese so program­ miert ist, daß sie von 17.00 Uhr bis 18.00 Uhr den Tuner und den Tape-Recorder einschaltet zur Aufzeichnung einer Reportage eines Rundfunksenders A und daß von 19.15 Uhr bis 20.15 Uhr der Tuner auf einen Rundfunksender B zur Wiedergabe eines Konzertes eingestellt wird. Ebenso kann der CD-Spieler durch die Fernbe­ dienung automatisch von 6.00 Uhr bis 6.15 Uhr zum Wecken des Benutzers eingeschaltet werden. Die Fernbedienung muß dabei derart positioniert sein, daß sie die entsprechenden Geräte mit ihren Fernsteuersignalen erreichen kann.A practical application of the registered remote control can e.g. in such a way that this program is that they tuned the tuner and from 5 pm to 6 pm turns on the tape recorder to record a report of a radio station A and that from 7.15pm to 8.15pm the Tuner on a radio station B to play a concert is set. Likewise, the CD player through the Fernbe service automatically from 6:00 a.m. to 6:15 a.m. to wake the User. The remote control must be positioned so that they have the appropriate equipment can reach their remote control signals.
