Description

L'invention concerne un procédé de fonctionnement d'un émetteur d'ordres destiné à la commande à distance d'équipements électriques assurant le confort et/ou la sécurité dans un bâtiment, l'émetteur d'ordres comprenant une interface de commande, une interface d'information, des moyens d'émission de signaux, des moyens de réception de signaux et un moyen de verrouillage de l'interface de commande. Il concerne de plus, un émetteur d'ordres fonctionnant selon un tel procédé.The invention relates to a method of operating a command transmitter for the remote control of electrical equipment ensuring comfort and / or safety in a building, the command transmitter comprising a control interface, a information interface, signal transmission means, signal receiving means and control interface locking means. It also concerns a command transmitter operating according to such a method.

Traditionnellement, les émetteurs d'ordres comportent des touches de commande. Un appui sur une de ces touches se traduit par l'émission d'un ordre de commande associé à la touche vers un récepteurd'ordres appairé et commandant un équipement électrique.Traditionally, the issuers of orders include control keys. Pressing one of these keys results in the transmission of a command command associated with the key to a paired order receiver controlling an electrical equipment.

Les émetteurs d'ordres à distance de type nomade sont souvent portés dans des poches ou des sacs, ou sont manipulés avec peu de précautions. Des déclenchements intempestifs de commande peuvent alors survenir.Nomadic remote order issuers are often carried in pockets or bags, or are handled with little care. Inadmissible tripping of control can then occur.

Ce problème est généralement résolu par un dispositif mécanique de verrouillage tel qu'un capot de protection, une dureté d'appui des touches ou une forme des touches en creux ou par un dispositif électronique. Par exemple, le brevet US 4,670,747 décrit un dispositif muni d'un clavier numérique qui peut être verrouillé par un appui sur une touche de verrouillage.This problem is generally solved by a mechanical locking device such as a protective cover, a hardness of pressing the keys or a shape of the recessed keys or by an electronic device. For example, the patent US 4,670,747 describes a device with a keypad that can be locked by pressing a lock button.

Par ailleurs, les dispositifs de commande à distance actuels sont souvent munis de moyens d'affichage de l'état ou du statut du dispositif de commande. On connaît par exemple un tel dispositif de la demande EP 1 172 937 . Elle décrit un émetteur d'ordres comprenant des moyens d'affichage, qui peuvent permettre à l'utilisateur de visualiser des informations relatives à l'état opérationnel de l'émetteur d'ordres et un clavier. Le clavier peut être utilisé pour entrer un mot de passe pour l'activation de l'émetteur d'ordres. Une touche particulière du clavier de commande active la fonction d'interrogation d'état.Moreover, the current remote control devices are often provided with means for displaying the status or status of the control device. For example, such a device of the application is known. EP 1 172 937 . It describes a command transmitter comprising display means, which may allow the user to view information relating to the operational state of the command transmitter and a keyboard. The keypad can be used to enter a password for the activation of the issuer of orders. A special key on the control keyboard activates the status polling function.

De même, la demande de brevet EP 1 014 326 décrit un dispositif de commande à distance, de type clé électronique pour véhicule comprenant un émetteur-récepteur et un affichage (acoustique ou visuel) du retour d'information sur l'état de l'objet commandé.Similarly, the patent application EP 1 014 326 discloses a remote control device of the electronic vehicle key type comprising a transceiver and a display (acoustic or visual) of feedback on the state of the controlled object.

La figure 1 représente schématiquement les actions et réactions d'un émetteur d'ordres à distance connu de l'art antérieur. Cet émetteur d'ordres commande un équipement électrique.The figure 1 schematically represents the actions and reactions of a remote command transmitter known from the prior art. This transmitter orders an electrical equipment.

De manière conventionnelle, lorsqu'un utilisateur effectue une action représentée par la flèche 40 sur l'émetteur d'ordres tel qu'un appui sur une ou plusieurs touches particulières du clavier, l'émetteur d'ordres prépare un ordre de commande au bloc 41 et l'envoie à l'équipement par le biais d'une communication représentée par la flèche 42. L'équipement reçoit alors cette commande et l'exécute au bloc 43.In a conventional manner, when a user performs an action represented by the arrow 40 on the command transmitter such as pressing on one or more particular keys of the keyboard, the issuer prepares a command order in the block 41 and sends it to the equipment through a communication represented by the arrow 42. The equipment then receives this command and executes it at block 43.

Des émetteurs d'ordres nomades peuvent également être munis de fonctions d'interrogation d'état. Il s'agit d'une interrogation concernant l'état de l'équipement associé, dans le cadre d'une communication bidirectionnelle. Les émetteurs d'ordres et les équipements ont alors des fonctions d'émission et de réception de signaux.Transmitters of nomadic orders may also be equipped with state interrogation functions. This is a query about the status of the associated equipment, as part of a bidirectional communication. The command transmitters and the equipment then have functions of transmitting and receiving signals.

Cette fonction est mise en oeuvre généralement par une ergonomie particulière, du type double appui sur une touche ou combinaison d'appuis, ou par un appui sur un bouton séparé. Cette action représentée par la flèche 44 entraîne la préparation d'un message d'interrogation au bloc 45 et l'envoi de ce message représenté par la flèche 46. Une réponse à ce message est émise par l'équipement et représentée par la flèche 47. L'état de l'équipement est alors exposé au bloc 48.This function is generally implemented by a particular ergonomics, the type of double pressing on a key or combination of supports, or by pressing a separate button. This action represented by the arrow 44 causes the preparation of an interrogation message at block 45 and the sending of this message represented by the arrow 46. A response to this message is issued by the equipment and represented by the arrow 47 The state of the equipment is then exposed in block 48.

La demande de brevet EP 0 320 439 décrit un dispositif de commande à distance d'un équipement d'un véhicule. Il comprend des moyens d'émission et de réception de signaux dans une télécommande et des moyens d'émission et de réception de signaux dans un véhiculé. Pourpermettre l'envoi d'un ordre de la télécommande au véhicule, il faut entrer un code de sécurité qui est reconnu ou non par le véhicule. La télécommande comprend également des moyens d'information de l'utilisateur comme des diodes et un haut-parleur. A chaque touche de la télécommande est associée une fonction : un appui sur une touche de la télécommande entraîne l'émission d'un signal vers le véhicule. Ce signal peut être un signal de commande pour une fonction donnée, une demande d'information sur l'état des équipements du véhicule ou une activation d'alarme. Ces signaux ne sont interprétés que si un code de sécurité à été émis dans une fenêtre temporelle précédent ou suivant ces signaux. De fait, le retour d'information n'est lui-même obtenu par la télécommande que si le code de sécurité a bien été reçu par le véhicule.The patent application EP 0 320 439 describes a remote control device of a vehicle equipment. It comprises means for transmitting and receiving signals in a remote control and means for transmitting and receiving signals in a vehicle. To send a command from the remote control to the vehicle, you must enter a security code that is recognized or not by the vehicle. The remote control also includes user information means such as diodes and a speaker. Each key on the remote control has a function associated with it: pressing a key on the remote control sends a signal to the vehicle. This signal can be a control signal for a given function, a request for information on the state of the equipment of the vehicle or an alarm activation. These signals are only interpreted if a security code has been issued in a previous time window or following these signals. In fact, the feedback is itself obtained by the remote control if the security code has been received by the vehicle.

Le but de l'invention est de fournir un procédé permettant de remédier au problème précité et d'améliorer les procédés connus de l'art antérieur. En particulier, l'invention propose un procédé permettant d'éviter les déclenchements intempestifs de commande, dans le cas d'émetteurs d'ordres à distance comprenant des moyens d'interrogation de l'état de l'équipement commandé et/ou de l'émetteur d'ordres lui-même.The object of the invention is to provide a method for overcoming the aforementioned problem and to improve the methods known from the prior art. In particular, the invention proposes a method for avoiding inadvertent control tripping, in the case of remote command transmitters comprising means for interrogating the state of the controlled equipment and / or the the issuer of orders itself.

Le procédé de fonctionnement selon l'invention est caractérisé par la partie caractérisante de la revendication 1.The operating method according to the invention is characterized by the characterizing part of claim 1.

Différents modes d'exécution du procédé sont définis par les revendications dépendantes 2 à 8.Different embodiments of the method are defined by the dependent claims 2 to 8.

L'émetteur d'ordres selon l'invention est défini par la revendication 9 et une variante de cet émetteur est défini par la revendication 10.The command transmitter according to the invention is defined by claim 9 and a variant of this transmitter is defined by claim 10.

Le dessin annexé représente, àtitre d'exemple, un mode d'exécution du procédé selon l'invention.

  • La figure 2 est un schéma d'un émetteur d'ordres selon l'invention.
  • La figure 3 est un ordinogramme d'un procédé de fonctionnement d'un émetteur d'ordres.
The attached drawing shows, by way of example, an embodiment of the method according to the invention.
  • The figure 1 is a flowchart of a method of operation of an order transmitter known to the prior art.
  • The figure 2 is a diagram of a command transmitter according to the invention.
  • The figure 3 is a flow chart of a method of operation of a command transmitter.

L'émetteur d'ordres 1 représenté à la figure 2 consiste en un boîtier 2 comprenant un clavier 3 muni de touches 4a à 4f et un dispositif d'affichage 5 d'informations. L'émetteur d'ordres comprend en outre une unité de traitement 6, une mémoire 7, des moyens d'émission de signaux 8, des moyens de réception de signaux 9 et un moyen de verrouillage du clavier. L'émetteur d'ordres 1 est destiné à commander un ou plusieurs équipements électriques 12 munis chacun d'un récepteur d'ordres 13 et équipant un bâtiment. Ces équipements peuvent par exemple consister en une porte de garage, en un portail, en des volets roulants ou en des luminaires. Les moyens d'émission et de réception de signaux permettent à l'émetteur d'ordres de communiquer de manière bidirectionnelle avec le récepteur d'ordres lié à chaque équipement. Ainsi, un accusé de réception peut être émis suite à chaque émission d'ordre. Le contenu de cet accusé de réception peut être signifié à l'utilisateur grâce à l'écran d'affichage.The issuer of orders 1 represented at figure 2 consists of a housing 2 comprising a keyboard 3 provided with keys 4a to 4f and an information display device 5. The command transmitter further comprises a processing unit 6, a memory 7, signal transmission means 8, signal receiving means 9 and a keyboard locking means. The command transmitter 1 is intended to control one or more electrical equipment 12 each equipped with a command receiver 13 and equipping a building. This equipment may for example consist of a garage door, a gate, shutters or fixtures. The signal transmission and reception means allow the command transmitter to communicate bidirectionally with the command receiver linked to each piece of equipment. Thus, an acknowledgment of receipt can be issued following each order issue. The contents of this acknowledgment can be served to the user through the display screen.

Cet accusé de réception, ou confirmation, permet à l'utilisateur de savoir si la commande a bien été reçue par le récepteur d'ordres et/ou si la commande a bien été exécutée.This acknowledgment, or confirmation, allows the user to know if the order has been received by the order receiver and / or if the command has been executed.

Le dispositif d'affichage 5 comprend par exemple des diodes électroluminescentes. Un code basé sur les couleurs des diodes, leur fréquence de clignotement ou leur nombre de clignotement permet de coder l'information. Il peut également s'agir d'un écran de type à cristaux liquides.The display device 5 comprises, for example, light-emitting diodes. A code based on the colors of the diodes, their flashing frequency or their number of flashes makes it possible to code the information. It can also be a LCD type screen.

Les touches 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d et 4e sont des touches de commande. Chaque touche de commande peut servir à l'émission d'un ordre unique, de montée ou de descente d'un équipement motorisé par exemple, ou correspondre à un équipement particulier à commander. Dans ce dernier cas, les touches fonctionnent de manière séquentielle, c'est à dire que des appuis successifs permettent l'émission de séquences d'ordres de type montée, stop, descente, stop...The keys 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d and 4e are control keys. Each control key can be used for issuing a single command, for example, for raising or lowering a motorized equipment, or for corresponding particular equipment to be controlled. In the latter case, the keys operate in a sequential manner, that is to say that successive presses allow the transmission of sequences of orders type climb, stop, descent, stop ...

Dans un premier mode de fonctionnement de l'émetteur, dit « déverrouillé », lorsqu'on appuie sur l'une des touches de commande de l'interface de commande, l'émetteur d'ordres émet un ordre en direction de l'équipement concerné.In a first mode of operation of the transmitter, said "unlocked", when pressing one of the command keys of the command interface, the command transmitter issues an order towards the equipment concerned.

D'autres touches peuvent se trouver sur l'interface de commande. Il s'agit par exemple d'une touche 4f d'information. Quel que soit le mode de fonctionnement de l'émetteur d'ordres, lorsqu'on actionne cette touche 4f, l'émetteur d'ordres affiche sur l'écran 5 l'état du ou des équipements commandés.Other keys may be on the command interface. This is for example a key 4f information. Regardless of the operating mode of the command transmitter, when this key 4f is pressed, the command transmitter displays on the screen 5 the state of the equipment or devices ordered.

La figure 3 représente un ordinogramme illustrant le fonctionnement de l'émetteur d'ordres selon l'invention.The figure 3 represents a flowchart illustrating the operation of the command transmitter according to the invention.

Une action représentée par la flèche 20, par exemple une ergonomie particulière sur les touches du clavier, de type séquence d'appuis, appuis successifs ou prolongés, l'actionnement d'un bouton séparé, ou la fin d'une temporisation, permet de faire basculer l'émetteur d'ordres du mode « déverrouillé » dans un mode opérationnel d'interrogation d'état, dit mode « verrouillé » et représenté par le bloc 21. Dans ce mode, certaines touches de commande 4a à4d ne permettent plus d'envoyer les commandes vers les équipements. Un appui sur ces touches, représenté par la flèche 22, est interprété au bloc 23 par l'émetteur d'ordres comme une demande d'information sur l'état du ou des équipements, par exemple la porte de garage. L'émetteur d'ordres émet alors un message d'interrogation, représenté par la flèche 24, vers la porte de garage. La porte de garage envoie en retour une réponse sur son état (ouvert, fermé, présence d'obstacle, etc.), représentée par la flèche 25. L'émetteur d'ordres affiche ensuite cet état au bloc 26.An action represented by the arrow 20, for example a particular ergonomics on the keys of the keyboard, of the type of sequence of supports, successive or prolonged presses, the actuation of a separate button, or the end of a delay, makes it possible to to switch the command transmitter from "unlocked" mode into a state interrogation operational mode, said "locked" mode and represented by block 21. In this mode, some control keys 4a to 4d no longer allow send orders to the equipment. A pressing on these keys, represented by the arrow 22, is interpreted in block 23 by the issuer of orders as a request for information on the state of the equipment or equipment, for example the garage door. The command transmitter then transmits an interrogation message, represented by the arrow 24, to the garage door. The garage door sends back a response on its state (open, closed, presence of obstacles, etc.), represented by the arrow 25. The issuer of orders then displays this state in block 26.

Ainsi, des appuis intempestifs sur ces touches de commande du clavier, dans un sac par exemple ou lors d'une manipulation sans précaution, n'occasionnent pas de commande indésirable, mais seulement une interrogation d'état. Cette configuration permet également de limiter le nombre de touches et la mise en oeuvre de fonctionnalités, ce qui permet de diminuer les coûts de fabrication.Thus, inadvertent presses on these keypad control keys, in a bag for example or during improper handling, do not cause unwanted control, but only a status query. This configuration also limits the number of keys and the implementation of features, which reduces manufacturing costs.

Le verrouillage des fonctions de commande se fait ainsi par commutation sur un mode fonctionnel différent, en particulier un mode d'interrogation d'état. Ce verrouillage consiste à inactiver les émissions d'ordres de certaines commandes, sans toutefois bloquer le clavier qui sert alors à l'interrogation d'état. Dans ce mode, même un appui involontaire sur le clavier n'aura pas d'effet sur l'équipement. Par contre, au moins certaines commandes intempestives sont exclues. Le déverrouillage rend le clavier entièrement actif pour effectuer une commande.The locking of the control functions is thus done by switching to a different functional mode, in particular a state interrogation mode. This lock consists of inactivating the order transmissions of certain commands, without however blocking the keyboard which is then used for the interrogation of state. In this mode, even unintentional keyboard support will have no effect on the equipment. On the other hand, at least some untimely commands are excluded. Unlocking makes the keyboard fully active to make a command.

Dans le mode dit « verrouillé », certaines touches de commande peuvent rester actives. C'est par exemple le cas de la touche de commande 4e qui permet pour répondre à des mesures de sécurité d'émettre des ordres d'arrêt des équipements même lorsque l'émetteur est dans le mode « verrouillé ».In the so-called "locked" mode, some control keys may remain active. This is for example the case of the 4th control key which allows to respond to security measures to issue equipment stop orders even when the transmitter is in the "locked" mode.

Suite à une action représentée par la flèche 27, par exemple une ergonomie particulière, de type séquence d'appuis, appuis successifs ou prolongés, sur les touches du clavier ou l'actionnement d'un bouton séparé, l'émetteur d'ordres bascule du mode opérationnel d'interrogation d'état dit « verrouillé » au mode de commande dit « déverrouillé » et représenté par le bloc 28. Dans ce mode, un appui sur l'une des touches de commande entraîne la préparation d'un ordre de commande représenté par le bloc 30 et l'émission de cet ordre de commande représenté par la flèche 31. Une fois reçue par le récepteur lié à l'équipement la commande est exécutée au bloc 32.Following an action represented by the arrow 27, for example a particular ergonomics, of sequence type of support, successive or prolonged presses, on the keys of the keyboard or the actuation of a separate button, the transmitter orders toggle from the operational state interrogation mode said "locked" to the control mode said "unlocked" and represented by the block 28. In this mode, pressing one of the control keys causes the preparation of a command order. control represented by the block 30 and the transmission of this control command represented by the arrow 31. Once received by the receiver linked to the equipment the command is executed at block 32.

L'émetteur d'ordres passe de nouveau dans le mode « verrouillé » lors de l'échéance d'une temporisation ou lors d'une action spécifique représentée par la flèche 33, équivalente à l'action représentée par la flèche 20.The issuer of orders re-enters the "locked" mode when the expiry of a time delay or during a specific action represented by the arrow 33, equivalent to the action represented by the arrow 20.
