Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of inhibiting the keys of the keyboard of an order transmitter for controlling a device.
  • the invention also relates to a command transmitter comprising a microcontroller connected to keys and command transmission means and for implementing such a method.
  • Such a method is particularly applicable to the remote control, for example by radio frequencies, maneuvering or locking doors, such as garage doors or door entries homes.
  • the invention can be applied to the fields of access security and / or protection by alarm.
  • the issuer of orders is of nomadic type and, in particular, when it is transported in the pocket or in the bag of a user, there is a risk of accidental support on the control keys of the transmitter.
  • Patents are known US 3,906,814 and US5,290,979 , control devices having members for mechanically locking certain keys to prohibit their use.
  • Patent is known US 4,820,887 , a membrane keyboard having more or less rigid covers covering critical keys of the keyboard and making it impossible or more difficult action on them.
  • Patent is still known US5,385,417 , a rigid cover for covering a key and having a hole so that this key can be operated by a pointed object such as a pen tip.
  • Patent is also known US 4,544,924 , a remote control device, for example for TV or VCR, whose power supply is activated by pressing any key on the keyboard and automatically deactivated after issuing the command associated with the key to save energy.
  • Requirement EP 0 930 409 describes a remote control system of functions in fun vehicle.
  • the application distinguishes between central locking functions and comfort functions.
  • Some functions must be enabled as long as a receiver receives fun order from a transmitter. To avoid the interruption of these functions by a transmission problem following a slight movement of the transmitter when it is in limited range, the sensitivity threshold of the receiver is lowered for a certain time from the beginning of the issue of the order.
  • Patent is also known US 6,111,518 a method of operation of a television remote control such that it is possible to block or unlock keys by pressing buttons on the remote control, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method of inhibition improving the solutions of the prior art and overcoming the problem mentioned above.
  • the invention proposes to provide a method for inhibiting the keys of the keyboard of an order transmitter when it slides in a pocket or in a bag and to realize a transmitter of orders allowing the implementation of such a method.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized by the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the command transmitter according to the invention is defined by claim 8.
  • the dependent claim 9 defines an alternative embodiment of the command transmitter.
  • the figure 1 schematically represents a transmitter of orders 10 allowing the execution of the method according to the invention.
  • This command transmitter 10 comprises a microcontroller 13 connected to a multi-keyed keyboard 14, 15, 16 and to a radiofrequency transmitter 12, itself connected to an antenna 11.
  • This command transmitter is powered by a battery 17.
  • this command transmitter can control the opening and closing of a garage door and the activation and deactivation of an alarm.
  • the key 14 controls both the opening of the door and the deactivation of the alarm.
  • the key 16 controls both the closing of the door and the activation of the alarm and the key 15 is a button for stopping the operation of the door.
  • This command transmitter communicates with one or more unrepresented command receivers and driving the garage door and the alarm.
  • An arrow A1 represents a voluntary or involuntary action of the user on one or more keys of the keyboard.
  • This support causes the activation of a test program 120 for determining whether the key or one of the keys actuated is a specific key, that is to say if one of the keys is not inhibited. If all the actuated keys are inhibited, then there is a loop back on the program 100. If, on the contrary, one of the actuated keys is a specific key, then a test program 140 is activated. This test makes it possible to determine whether the pressing of the key or of the keys corresponds to a specific sequence of supports such as a determined series of supports but which can also be summarized as a long press.
  • a program 160 is activated. This causes the issuer to issue the command corresponding to the specific key pressed.
  • the command transmitter can present for only specific key, the stop key 15. For security reasons, even brief support on this key commands the stop of the operation of the door.
  • a program 200 is activated. This causes the suppression of the inhibition, that is to say that all the keys of the keyboard become active.
  • Arrow A2 represents a new action on a key on the keyboard. This action causes the activation of a program 220 which then allows the transmission of the order corresponding to the actuated key.
  • a program 240 is activated. This program causes the keyboard keys to be inhibited except for the specific keys. This program is executed, either just after the sending of the order, or after a delay which possibly allows the sending of other commands to the order receiver. In the latter case, any new action on one of the keys of the keyboard extends all the time window during which the keys remain active.
  • the two variants can be combined, in the case where no key is mechanically protected: firstly, the specific stop key remains uninhibited and, secondly, a prolonged support or a particular sequence other keys makes the keys active. A program replacing the programs 120 and 140 then tests whether the stop key is pressed or if it is a particular support sequence. In the first case, there is sending of the command corresponding to the actuated key, in the second case, there is temporary suppression of the inhibition. If, the support does not correspond to any of the two previous cases, there is then looping on the program 100.
  • the action A1 can be applied only on certain keys or it will be ignored by the microcontroller.
  • the test program 120 becomes unnecessary and the test program 140 directs to the simple execution of the order if it is the stop key or to the temporary suppression of the inhibition if a particular sequence of support is recognized.
  • the program 100 then consists in causing the transition to sleep mode or the partial disconnection of the power supply.
  • the command transmitter may optionally have a grip sensor 18.
  • the suppression of the inhibition of the keys can in this case be caused by a signal from the grip sensor 18.
  • This sensor may be of the thermal, galvanic or capacitive type, or may still consist of a pressure sensor.
  • Patents are known US 6,330,457 and US6,246,862 , sensors used for a use strictly opposite to that which interests the invention since it is to invalidate the use of the keys of a phone when it goes into operational mode.
  • the sensor issues a signal that the command transmitter is held in the hand and not tossed in a pocket or bag, then this signal can be used to control the suppression of the key inhibit. Similarly, the disappearance of the signal can be used to cause the inhibition of the keys.
