BESCHREIBUNG DER AUSFüHRUNGSBEISPIELEDESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

Bei dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind schematisch drei Antriebseinheiten 10 - 12 für Gurte 13 von im übrigen nicht dargestellten Rolladenantrieben dargestellt. Hierbei kann es sich beispielsweise um Antriebseinheiten handeln, die anstelle von manuell bedienbaren Aufwickelrollen in die entsprechenden Wandausnehmungen einsetzbar sind. Derartige Antriebseinheiten sind beispielsweise in der DE 32 14 235 C3 oder in der DE 42 01 971 Al beschrieben. Es kann sich jedoch auch um Antriebseinheiten gemäß dem eingangs angegebenen Stand der Technik oder um Antriebseinheiten für andere Verdunkelungsvorrichtungen handeln, wie Rollos, Markisen, Klappläden od.dgl. Die Antriebseinheiten 10 - 12 enthalten dabei jeweils einen nicht dargestellten Antriebsmotor zum Auf- und Abwickeln der Gurte 13.In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 are schematically three drive units 10 - 12 for belts 13 Shutter drives not shown otherwise. This can be drive units, for example act that instead of manually operated Winding rolls in the corresponding wall recesses can be used. Such drive units are, for example in DE 32 14 235 C3 or in DE 42 01 971 Al. However, it can also be Drive units according to the state of the Technology or around drive units for other blackout devices act like roller blinds, awnings, folding shutters or the like. The drive units 10-12 include each have a drive motor, not shown Winding and unwinding the straps 13.

Zur Fernsteuerung der Antriebseinheiten 10 - 12 dient ein als Steuerzentrale ausgebildetes Fernsteuergerät 14. Die übertragung der erforderlichen Steuerbefehle kann über verschiedene übertragungsmechanismen erfolgen. Hierzu weist das Fernsteuergerät 14 drei verschiedene Sendemodule 15 - 17 auf, die mit entsprechenden Empfangsmodulen 18 - 20 in den einzelnen Antriebseinheiten 10 - 12 kommunizieren. Beispielsweise sind das Sendemodul 15 und das Empfangsmodul 18 als Leitungs-Module ausgebildet, zur Übertragung der erforderlichen Steuersignale über ein Zweidraht-System, das selbstverständlich auch eine größere Anzahl von Adern aufweisen kann. Das Sendemodul 16 und das Empfangsmodul 19 sind als Infrarot-Module ausgebildet, während das Sendemodul 17 und das Empfangsmodul 20 als Funk-Module ausgebildet sind. Der Einsatz der verschiedenen übertragungsmechanismen hängt von den örtlichen Gegebenheiten ab. Wo eine Leitungsverlegung leicht möglich ist oder bereits verlegte Leitungen vorhanden sind, können kostengünstige Leitungs-Module eingesetzt werden. Befinden sich Antriebseinheiten und das Fernsteuergerät 14 im gleichen Raum, so eignen sich Infrarot-Module, wenn auf eine Leitungslegung verzichtet werden soll. Befinden sich dagegen Antriebseinheiten in einem anderen Raum, so eignen sich zur übertragung Funk-Module, wiederum sofern auf eine Leitungsverlegung verzichtet werden soll. Weitere, nicht dargestellte Möglichkeiten eröffnen Lichtnetz- oder Lichtleiter-Module. Im ersten Falle erfolgt die übertragung der Steuersignale über das Lichtnetz, während bei Lichtleiter-Modulen die übertragung als optische Signale über Lichtleiter erfolgt. Selbstverständlich kann auch nur eine einzige oder zwei übertragungsarten für alle Antriebseinheiten 10-12 vorgesehen sein.A is used for remote control of the drive units 10-12 remote control device 14 designed as a control center Transmission of the necessary control commands can be done via different transmission mechanisms take place. For this the remote control device 14 has three different transmitter modules 15 - 17, which with corresponding reception modules 18 - 20 communicate in the individual drive units 10-12. For example, the transmitter module 15 and that Receiving module 18 designed as line modules for Transmission of the required control signals via Two-wire system, which of course is also a larger one Can have number of wires. The transmitter module 16 and that Receiver module 19 are designed as infrared modules, while the transmitter module 17 and the receiver module 20 as Radio modules are designed. The use of the Different transmission mechanisms depend on the local conditions. Where to lay a line is easily possible or already installed lines Inexpensive line modules are available be used. Are drive units and that Remote control device 14 in the same room, so are suitable Infrared modules if there is no wiring shall be. In contrast, there are drive units in another room, radio modules are suitable for transmission, again provided that the cables are laid should be dispensed with. Further, not shown Light net or fiber optic modules open up possibilities. In the first case, the control signals are transmitted via the light network, while in the case of light guide modules Transmission as optical signals via optical fibers. Of course, only one or two can be used Transmission types for all drive units 10-12 be provided.

Auf Grund der unterschiedlichsten Leistungsmerkmale der verschiedenen übertragungsmodule bzw. Medienträger läuft die übertragung medienspezifisch ab, das heißt, Protokoll (Sprache) und Übertragungsrate (Geschwindigkeit) werden mit Hilfe eines "Schlüssels" automatisch dem Medienträger angepaßt. Die Telegrammlänge ist typisch kleiner als 100 ms, so daß eine Befehlsaufforderung vom Fernsteuergerät 14 zu einer oder mehreren der Antriebseinheiten 10-12 in ca. 1/10 Sekunde übermittel wird.Due to the different performance characteristics of the various transmission modules or media carriers runs the transmission depends on the media, that is, the protocol (Speech) and transmission rate (speed) to the media carrier automatically with the help of a "key" customized. The telegram length is typically less than 100 ms, so that a command request from the remote control device 14 to one or more of the drive units 10-12 is transmitted in about 1/10 second.

Die Sendemodule 15 - 17 und Empfangsmodule 18 - 20 sind austauschbar, das heißt, es ist möglich, ein Infrarot-Übertragungssystem relativ schnell durch Austausch von zwei Modulen in ein Funkübertragungssystem oder ein Lichtnetz-Übertragungssystem umzuwandeln.The transmitter modules 15-17 and receiver modules 18-20 are interchangeable, that is, it is possible to use an infrared transmission system relatively quickly by exchanging two modules in a radio transmission system or a light network transmission system convert.

Die Bedienung und gegebenenfalls Programmierung des Fernsteuergeräts 14 erfolgt über ein mit Bedienungselementen versehenes Bedienungsmodul 21. Die Antriebseinheiten 10-12 besitzen entsprechende Bedienungsmodule 21, so daß eine individuelle Bedienung und Programmierung, wie auch eine zentral gesteuerte Bedienung und Programmierung möglich sind. Bedienbefehle sind gemäß dem angegebenen Stand der Technik beispielsweise Befehle für die Aufwärts- und Abwärtsbewegung sowie den Stopp des Rolladens. Programmiert werden können die oberen und unteren Endpositionen des Rolladens, eventuelle Zeitsteuerfunktionen und/oder Funktionen in Abhängigkeit anderer Parameter, z. B. in Abhängigkeit der Außenhelligkeit, der Windgeschwindigkeit, des Außenlärms, des Regens od.dgl.The operation and, if necessary, programming of the remote control device 14 is done using a with controls provided operating module 21. The drive units 10-12 have corresponding control modules 21, so that a individual operation and programming, as well as one centrally controlled operation and programming possible are.

Ein entsprechendes Empfangsmodul 20 ist dann am Fernsteuergerät 14 vorgesehen. Die zentrale Helligkeitssteuerung der einzelnen Antriebseinheiten 10 - 12 erfolgt dann über das Fernsteuergerät 14. Dabei wird beispielsweise bei Absinken unter einen vorgebbaren Helligkeitswert der Rolladen geschlossen und bei überschreiten eines vorgebbaren Helligkeitswerts geöffnet (Morgen-/Abendsteuerung). Alternativ oder zusätzlich können noch weitere derartige Sensoren vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise ein Wind-, Regen-, Geräusch-, Glasbruch- und/oder Schadstoffsensor zur Detektion der entsprechenden Parameter und zur Steuerung der Antriebseinheiten in Abhängigkeit dieser Parameter. Auch hier kann die übertragung der Sensorsignale wieder wahlweise über die verschiedenen übertragungsmedien erfolgen.To transmit sensor signals, the sensors, in illustrated embodiment, a brightness sensor 22, are provided with transmitter modules in the illustrated Embodiment with a transmitter module 17 for a Radio transmission. A corresponding receiving module 20 is then provided on the remote control device 14. The central brightness control of the individual drive units 10-12 is then carried out via the remote control device 14 for example if the brightness drops below a predefinable value the roller shutters closed and when exceeding of a predefined brightness value opened (morning / evening control). Alternatively or additionally, you can further sensors of this type can be provided, for example a wind, rain, noise, broken glass and / or pollutant sensor for the detection of the corresponding parameters and to control the drive units depending on this Parameter. The transmission of the sensor signals can also be carried out here again optionally via the different transmission media respectively.

Es ist auch möglich, die Sendemodule 15-17 zusätzlich zum Empfang von Sensorsignalen auszubilden. In diesem Falle kann ein separates Empfangsmodul 20 u. U. auch entfallen.It is also possible to add the transmitter modules 15-17 in addition to Train reception of sensor signals. In this case can a separate receiving module 20 u. U. also omitted.

Es ist selbstverständlich auch möglich, die Sensorsignale direkt den einzelnen Antriebseinheiten 10 - 12 zuzuführen. In diesem Falle müssen dieselben mit entsprechenden Empfangsmodulen versehen sein.It is of course also possible to use the sensor signals feed directly to the individual drive units 10 - 12. In this case, the same must be used with appropriate Be receiving modules provided.

Sind keine sensorgesteuerten Funktionen vorgesehen, so entfallen selbstverständlich die Sensoren und das Empfangsmodul 20 am Fernsteuergerät 14. If no sensor-controlled functions are provided, then of course the sensors and that are eliminated Receive module 20 on remote control device 14.

Am Fernsteuergerät 14 ist weiterhin ein Spracherkennungs-Modul 23 vorgesehen, das im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 3 noch näher erläutert wird.A speech recognition module is also on the remote control device 14 23 provided that in connection with Fig. 3 still is explained in more detail.

In Fig. 2 ist ein als Handsender 24 ausgebildetes Fernsteuergerät schematisch dargestellt. Dieser Handsender 24 enthält ein als Infrarot-, Ultraschall-oder Funk-Modul ausgebildetes Sendemodul sowie Bedienungselemente 25, die im wesentlichen zur Eingabe von Funktionen entsprechend einem Bedienungsmodul 21 dienen. Der Handsender 24 kann zusätzlich zu dem Fernsteuergerät 14 vorgesehen sein. Die Bedienungsfunktionen können denen des Fernsteuergeräts 14 entsprechen oder aber reduziert sein, z. B. keine Programmierfunktionen aufweisen. Mit diesem Handsender 24 können simultan alle Antriebseinheiten 10-12 gesteuert werden, oder aber bestimmte Tastenfunktionen der Bedienungselemente 25 ordnen die Befehle einer bestimmten Antriebseinheit zu, um auch individuell die Antriebseinheiten 10-12 ansteuern zu können. Tastenfunktionen zur individuellen Steuerung der Antriebseinheiten 10-12 können im übrigen auch am Fernsteuergerät 14 vorgesehen sein.In Fig. 2 is a remote control device designed as a handheld transmitter 24 shown schematically. This remote control 24 contains an infrared, ultrasound or radio module trained transmitter module and controls 25, the essentially corresponding to entering functions serve an operating module 21. The hand transmitter 24 can in addition to Remote control device 14 be provided. The operating functions can those of the Remote control device 14 correspond or be reduced, e.g. B. have no programming functions. With this Handheld transmitters 24 can simultaneously control all drive units 10-12 can be controlled, or certain key functions of the Controls 25 assign the commands to a specific one Drive unit too in order to individually customize the drive units 10-12 to be able to control. Key functions for individual control of the drive units 10-12 can otherwise also be provided on the remote control device 14.

Das Bedienfeld des in Fig. 1 dargestellten Spracherkennungs-Moduls 23 ist in Fig. 3 vergrößert dargestellt. Dieses Spracherkennungs-Modul 23 ist an eine Kommunikationsschnittstelle des Fernsteuergeräts 14 angeschlossen und dient dazu, Steuerbefehle für die Antriebseinheiten 10-12 in Form von Sprachbefehlen zu erteilen, ohne daß eine Betätigung von Bedienungselementen des Bedienungsmoduls 21 erforderlich wäre. Ein solches Spracherkennungs-Modul kann auch ein fester Bestandteil des Fernsteuergeräts 14 sein, so daß der Anschluß über eine Kommunikationsschnittstelle entfallen kann. Spracherkennungs-Module sind als solche bekannt und werden heute schon auch als lernende Systeme eingesetzt. Das Spracherkennungs-Modul 23 lernt typische Befehle, indem diese über ein Mikrofon 26 eingegeben werden. Das Mikrofon kann selbstverständlich auch als separates Mikrofon ausgebildet sein. Nach dem Lernvorgang können nun gesprochene Befehle aufgenommen, ausgewertet und entsprechend den Befehlen des Bedienungsmoduls 21 ausgeführt werden, indem über die Kommunikationsschnittstelle und über entsprechende Sendemodule 15-17 die Befehle den Antriebseinheiten 10-12 zugeleitet werden. In der Regel kann die Sprache von bis zu vier Personen ausgewertet werden, wobei hier prinzipiell keine Grenzen gesetzt sind.The control panel of the speech recognition module shown in Fig. 1 23 is shown enlarged in FIG. 3. This speech recognition module 23 is on a communication interface of the remote control device 14 connected and is used to control commands for the drive units 10-12 in the form of voice commands without an actuation of controls of the control module 21 would be required. Such a speech recognition module can also be an integral part of the remote control unit 14, so that the connection via a communication interface can be omitted. Speech recognition modules are known as such and are already used today as learners Systems used. The speech recognition module 23 learns typical commands by entering them via a microphone 26 become. The microphone can of course also be designed as a separate microphone. After the learning process spoken commands can now be recorded and evaluated and according to the commands of the control module 21 can be performed by using the communication interface and via corresponding transmitter modules 15-17 the commands are passed to the drive units 10-12 become. Usually the language can be up to four People are evaluated, but in principle none There are limits.

Der Lernvorgang wird nun im folgenden beschrieben. Nach dem Installieren des Spracherkennungs-Moduls 23 oder beispielsweise auch durch einmalige oder mehrmalige Betätigung einer Taste 27 wird in den Lernmodus umgeschaltet, und die "Aufnahme"-Leuchte 28 wird eingeschaltet. Gleichzeitig leuchtet eine "Gruppenname"-Leuchte 29 auf. Nun wird die Taste 27 betätigt und während der Betätigung beispielsweise das Wort "Rolläden" gesprochen. Danach wird die Taste 27 losgelassen. Danach erlischt die "Gruppenname"-Leuchte 29, und eine "Einzelname"-Leuchte 30 wird eingeschaltet. Nun wird wiederum die Taste 27 betätigt und beispielsweise das Wort "Küche" gesprochen. Nach dem Loslassen der Taste 27 leuchtet die "Einzelname"-Leuchte 30 nach einem kurzen Erlöschen erneut auf oder bleibt leuchtend, wobei ein zweiter Ort einer Antriebseinheit eingegeben werden kann. So werden nacheinander verschiedene Einzel namen eingegeben, bis beispielsweise durch eine Doppelbetätigung der Taste 27 die Eingabe der einzelnen Namen abgeschlossen wird. Danach werden entsprechend die Befehle für die Aufwärtsbewegung ("Auf"), Abwärtsbewegung ("Ab") und Stoppen des Rolladens ("Stop") eingegeben, wobei nacheinander entsprechend Leuchten 31 - 33 aufleuchten und erlöschen. Nachdem alle Befehle eingegeben worden sind, erlischt die "Aufnahme"-Leuchte 28, und eine "Bereit"-Leuchte 34 wird eingeschaltet. Nun können durch die gesprochenen Worte die entsprechenden Befehle ausgelöst werden. Wenn beispielsweise das Wort "Rolladen" gesprochen wird, so leuchtet die "Gruppenname"-Leuchte auf, und alle folgenden Befehle beziehen sich auf alle Antriebseinheiten 10-12. Wird dagegen das Wort "Küche" gesprochen, so leuchet die "Einzelname"-Leuchte 30 auf, und nur die sich in der Küche befindende Antriebseinheit nimmt die nachfolgenden Befehle entgegen. Bei jedem Befehl leuchtet somit die zugeordnete Leuchte 29 - 33 auf, wodurch das Erkennen des Befehls verdeutlicht wird.The learning process will now be described below. After installing the speech recognition module 23 or for example also by single or repeated actuation a button 27 is switched to the learning mode, and the "recording" lamp 28 is turned on. At the same time a "group name" lamp 29 lights up. Now the key 27 is pressed and during the operation for example the word "shutters" spoken. After that button 27 released. Then the "group name" lamp goes out 29, and a "single name" lamp 30 becomes switched on. Now button 27 is pressed again for example the word "kitchen" spoken. After letting go the key 27 lights the "single name" light 30 after a brief extinction or stays on, where a second location of a drive unit is entered can be. So one after the other becomes different Enter individual names until, for example, a Double actuation of key 27 to enter the individual Name is completed. After that, the Commands for upward movement ("up"), downward movement ("Down") and stop the roller shutter ("Stop") entered, lights 31 - 33 light up in succession and go out. After all commands are entered the "recording" lamp 28 goes out, and one "Ready" lamp 34 is switched on. Now you can go through the spoken words triggered the appropriate commands become. For example, when the word "roller shutter" is spoken the "group name" lamp lights up, and all of the following commands apply to all drive units 10-12. However, if the word "kitchen" is spoken, the "single name" lamp 30 lights up, and only the drive unit located in the kitchen takes counter the following commands. With every command the associated light 29 - 33 thus lights up, causing the recognition of the command is made clear.

Alternativ zum dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel kann anstelle der beispielsweise als Leuchtdioden ausgebildeten Leuchten ein LCD-Bildschirm treten, auf dem die entsprechenden Rubriken bzw. Einzelbefehle als Schrift auftauchen. Hierdurch kann eine größere Zahl von Befehlen (Steuerbefehle und/oder Programmierbefehle) eingegeben und benutzt werden.As an alternative to the exemplary embodiment shown instead of, for example, designed as light-emitting diodes Illuminate an LCD screen on which the appropriate Rubrics or individual commands appear as font. This allows a larger number of commands (Control commands and / or programming commands) entered and to be used.

Derartige Spracherkennungs-Module 23 können auch an den einzelnen Antriebseinheiten 10-12 vorgesehen sein, um diese direkt über Sprachbefehle steuern zu können.Such speech recognition modules 23 can also be sent to the individual drive units 10-12 may be provided to to be able to control them directly via voice commands.
