Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of domestic electrical equipment, including unidirectional remote control devices for actuating means of these domestic electrical equipment, and relates to a method of configuring such control devices.
  • the invention also relates to a device for implementing this method.
  • control devices in the form of control devices and actuators, which, after being configured, make it possible to fulfill several functions, such as, for example, a lighting control or heating or raising and lowering shutters.
  • control devices The configuration of the control devices is generally carried out via an external configuration device which transmits to said sensors their mode of operation.
  • Such control devices are bidirectional control devices.
  • control devices are unidirectional and transmit only information without receiving it.
  • the control devices are generic, i.e. they are not configured by default to transmit a particular type of order and the receivers may be of different types. It is therefore necessary to be able to configure the transmitters to transmit the appropriate orders.
  • a configuration interface is always used which is connected to the receiver and the transmitter. If the different elements are all bidirectional, the problems of information exchange and downloading do not arise. On the other hand, for unidirectional universal remotes, it is necessary to unroll all the codes until a reaction is obtained on a television set, the user himself providing the bi-directionality function.
  • US-A-6,163,275 describes a principle of infra-red pulse interpretation by a receiver.
  • the corresponding method does not make it possible to configure the nature of the transmitted commands.
  • the problem with the present invention is in the configuration of a unidirectional control device, so that the latter can communicate with a receiver.
  • a configuration mode setting device of the push button type, is generally hidden.
  • Such an arrangement is not applicable when the control devices are inaccessible for reasons of standard or aesthetics. Indeed, in electrical installations it is forbidden to disassemble an actuator if it is energized.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a method and a device for configuring unidirectional control devices remotely from means for actuating domestic electrical equipment enabling such a unidirectional control device to be set in configuration. to select an order type.
  • the method for configuring unidirectional remote control devices for means for actuating domestic electrical equipment is characterized in that it consists in selecting, by simultaneous or almost simultaneous actuation of a selection means of a control channel and a function associated with this channel and an external device, a unidirectional control device, to place said control device, from of a normal operating mode, in a configuration mode by taking into account a presence of single near modulated energy emanating from the external device 6, to select a control channel of this device via the associated means 3 to said control device 1, to then select, with the associated means, a function associated with this channel and to record the function selected, then to return the device in the normal operating mode with said associated means.
  • the invention also relates to a one-way remote control device for actuating means of domestic electrical equipment for the implementation of this method, comprising essentially a means of choice between a normal operating mode and a configuration mode, means for selecting a control channel and a function associated with this channel and means for recording the operated selection, which is characterized in that it is provided with an integrated means for detecting and taking into account a presence of modulated energy that can be controlled remotely via an external device.
  • the figure 1 appended drawings shows a device 1 for unidirectional remote control means for actuating domestic electrical equipment, intended to alternately allow remote control of different electrical equipment from the same device.
  • this device 1 implements a method which essentially consists of selecting a unidirectional control device 1, to place said control device 1, from a normal operating mode, in a configuration mode by taking into account a single near-modulated energy presence emanating from an external device, selecting a control channel of this device 1 via means 3 associated with said control device 1, then selecting a function associated with this channel and to record the selected function, then to put the device back into the normal operating mode.
  • the device 1 unidirectional remote control means for actuating domestic electrical equipment which is essentially constituted by a means 2 of choice between a normal operating mode and a configuration mode, by a control channel selection means 3 and a function associated with this channel and by a means 4 of recording of the selection made is provided with an integrated means 5 for detecting and taking into account a presence of modulated radio energy, which can be remotely controlled via an external device 6 and co-operating respectively with the means 2 of choice between a normal operating mode and a configuration mode and with the means 4 for recording the operated selection.
  • the means 2 of choice between a normal operating mode and a configuration mode essentially consists, as shown in FIG. figure 3 of the accompanying drawings, in a software task performed in a central data management unit connected, on the one hand, by means 3 of selection of a control channel and a function associated with this channel and, on the other hand, on the integrated means 5 for detecting and taking into account a presence of modulated radio energy, this central unit being furthermore connected to a transmitter 7 for transmitting data to the external device 6 via an antenna 8.
  • the means 3 for selecting a control channel and a function associated with this channel is in the form of a microswitch or the like, equipping the control device 1.
  • the microswitch 3 can advantageously constitute simultaneously the organ control device 1 and be in the form of a control switch of the ignition of a lamp or other control means, for example.
  • the means 4 for recording the operated selection is advantageously also in the form of a software task for managing information and control commands for the actuator (s) dedicated to the control device 1 and cooperates with the software task forming the means 2. choice between a normal operating mode and a configuration mode.
  • the external device 6 may advantageously be of the type with a graphic display of the functions provided with at least one button 6 'for controlling the transmission of radio energy to the integrated means 5 for detecting and taking into account an presence modulated radio energy ( figure 1 ).
  • the device 1 which is to be configured, is selected by pressing a microswitch or the like, forming the means 3 for selecting a control channel and a function associated with this channel. Simultaneous pressing of the button 6 'of the external device 6 in the form of a remote control 6 with a graphic display of the functions then makes it possible to transmit radio energy to the integrated means 5 for detecting and taking into account a presence of modulated radio energy of the device 1.
  • a normal operating mode and a configuration mode can also be carried out by delivery by means of choice 2, depending on the detection of a presence, or not, of a modulated radio energy or a signal respectively. switching from the normal operating mode to the configuration mode or a holding signal of the device 1 in normal operating mode, by command via a button 6 'of the external device 6.
  • This choice is made after processing the signals in the central data management unit by the software tasks forming the means 2 of choice between a normal operating mode and a configuration mode and will have the effect of causing the switchover of the operating mode. normal to setup mode or to keep device 1 in normal operating mode. The parameterization of the device can then be performed.
  • the device In the case where no presence of energy is observed, the device remains in normal mode and continues to emit a normal frame.
  • the central data management unit in which the software task forming the means 2 of choice between a normal operating mode and a configuration mode is executed, controls the high frequency part of the transmitter 7 after having detected an action on its inputs 2 'connected to the micro switches 3 or the like of the control devices 1.
  • the central unit authorizes a switch in configuration mode and allows the recording, by the software task 4, of the selection made.
  • the integrated means 5 for detecting and taking into account a presence of modulated radio energy may advantageously be a radio frequency envelope detector or an infrared detector.
  • This detector will preferably be of the radio frequency type, the electronic module of the control device not being necessarily accessible by the user or the installer. Indeed, in the case of electronic modules arranged behind a push button or a switch, the solution to remember is the radio solution.
  • the controller 1 In normal operating mode, the controller 1 is waiting for an event ( figure 2 ). If an action on an input 2 'connected to a microswitch 3 of a control device 1 is detected, the integrated means 5 for detecting and taking into account a presence of modulated radio energy satisfies such a presence. Generally, no modulated energy is detected and the means 5 transmits a negative signal to the recording means 4 of the operated selection, the device then continuing to transmit a normal frame and transmitting a command such as, for example, a command lighting a lamp ( figure 2 ).
  • a command such as, for example, a command lighting a lamp ( figure 2 ).
  • the setting mode of the device 1 is performed by a simultaneous or almost simultaneous operation of the microswitch 3 forming the means 3 for selecting a control channel and a function associated with this channel and the button 6 'of the device external 6 as a remote control with graphic display of functions ( figure 4 a) .
  • the device 1 can be controlled via the microswitch 3 and the selected function appears on the external device 6 ( figure 4 b) .
  • the choice of another function is achieved by an additional short press on the microswitch 3, this choice being displayed on the external device 6 ( figure 4 c) .
  • the function selected is confirmed by making a long press on the microswitch 3.
  • the central unit implementing the software task 2 connected to the microswitch 3 by its input 2 ', receives the corresponding signal and, after processing, delivers a recording signal to the software task forming the means 4 for recording the operated selection ( figure 4 d) .
  • the software task which forms the means 4 for recording the operated selection and which manages the information and the command commands of the actuator (s) dedicated to the control device 1, can integrate, in in addition, a delay that automatically switches from the configuration mode to the normal operating mode.
  • the control device 1 returns to normal default mode, in the absence of a corresponding command via the micro switch 3.
  • the device automatically becomes effective again to transmit signals of command to one or more actuators dedicated to it.
  • this device allows the display of the various functions and thus facilitated selection through the external device 6.
  • the device is protected against the risk of accidental passage in configuration mode by a well-established sequence of events.
