Description

L'invention décrite dans le présent brevet présente un nouveau produit portatif, destiné à communiquer avec l'ensemble des appareils ménagers existants, tels que téléviseur, chaîne hi-fi, magnétoscope, lecteur de disque laser etc..., grâce à l'évolutivité de l'invention décrite ci-après.The invention described in this patent presents a new portable product, intended to communicate with all existing household appliances, such as television set, hi-fi system, video recorder, laser disc player etc ..., thanks to the scalability of the invention described below.

L'objet décrit dans ce brevet a la capacité de communiquer avec tout appareil à venir, avec une grande simplicité et une parfaite ergonomie.The object described in this patent has the ability to communicate with any device to come, with great simplicity and perfect ergonomics.

On a vu se développer ces dernières années, des systèmes de télécommandes de plus en plus sophistiqués, par exemple, le boîtier développé par une firme Danoise
Prestigieuse, qui est une télécommande dont une partie du clavier est un écran tactile, configurable en fonction de l'appareil avec lequel il communique. Ce produit qui a l'avantage de se substituer à plusieurs télécommandes, est conçu pour un nombre fini d'appareils, et figé dans la limite d'une seule firme.
We have seen the development in recent years of more and more sophisticated remote control systems, for example, the housing developed by a Danish firm
Prestigious, which is a remote control, part of the keyboard is a touch screen, configurable according to the device with which it communicates. This product which has the advantage of replacing several remote controls, is designed for a finite number of devices, and frozen within the limit of a single company.

On a vu néanmoins apparaître des boîtiers programmables, conçus pour enregistrer les fonctionnalités d'autres télécommandes. Ce type de boîtier, par sa vocation universelle, présente un nombre de touches impressionnant, et, de ce fait, son ergonomie laisse à désirer. En outre la mise en oeuvre de la programmation du boîtier est ardue pour un profane. De surcroît, quelque soit la complexité des claviers de ces boîtiers, ils ne sont pas évolutifs, et par conséquent, ne pourront pas s'adapter à des applications futures.However, we have seen programmable boxes appear, designed to record the functionality of other remote controls. This type of case, by its universal vocation, presents an impressive number of keys, and, therefore, its ergonomics leaves something to be desired. In addition, the implementation of the programming of the box is difficult for a layman. In addition, whatever the complexity of the keyboards of these boxes, they are not scalable, and therefore, will not be able to adapt to future applications.

Pour palier à tous ces inconvénients, l'invention présentée dans le présent brevet, décrit un nouveau concept de boîtier, pouvant entre autre faire office de télécommande, à la fois souple et évolutif, et dont l'ergonomie est parfaitement adaptée et modulable.To overcome all these drawbacks, the invention presented in this patent describes a new concept of housing, which can among other things act as a remote control, both flexible and scalable, and whose ergonomics are perfectly adapted and modular.

L'objet présenté dans le présent brevet est un appareil communicant universel, se présentant comme un boîtier portatif ne comportant pas de touches, ledit boîtier est constitué d'un écran tactile (13) réalisé selon les technologies connues, constitué d'une grille tactile (2), disposée sur un écran à cristaux ; d'un lecteur de cartes à mémoire, et des moyens de communication avec ltextérieur. The object presented in this patent is a universal communicating device, presenting itself as a portable box not comprising keys, said box consists of a touch screen (13) produced according to known technologies, consisting of a touch screen (2), arranged on a crystal screen; a memory card reader, and means of communication with the interior.

Lesdits moyens de communication sont bi-directionnels et s'effectuent selon tous les supports connus (17), tels que: infrarouge, ultrason, radiofréquence, hyperfréquence. Said means of communication are bi-directional and take place according to all known supports (17), such as: infrared, ultrasound, radiofrequency, microwave.

L'invention est caractérisée en ce que, le boîtier portatif n'est dédié au départ à aucune application particulière, c'est une carte à mémoire, une fois introduite dans le lecteur prévu à cet effet, qui va déterminer la fonctionnalité du boîtier. Ladite carte à mémoire dispose d'un microcircuit, qui mémorise l'ensemble des paramètres et données, capable de définir l'application et de configurer l'écran tactile (13) en conséquence. En effet, pour chaque application déterminée par la carte à mémoire, le clavier sensitif (13) va présenter un affichage adapté à l'usage défini, grâce à l'ensemble des paramètres mémorisés dans la carte à mémoire. La mémoire de ladite carte (4) est un microcircuit (5), réalisé en logique câblée, architecturé ou non, autour d'un microprocesseur, en fonction des besoins. Ce microcircuit comprend, une mémoire de type "EPROM" et/ou EEPROM, selon la nécessité.The invention is characterized in that, the portable box is not initially dedicated to any particular application, it is a memory card, once inserted into the reader provided for this purpose, which will determine the functionality of the box. Said memory card has a microcircuit, which stores all of the parameters and data, capable of defining the application and of configuring the touch screen (13) accordingly. Indeed, for each application determined by the memory card, the sensitive keyboard (13) will present a display adapted to the defined use, thanks to all the parameters stored in the memory card. The memory of said card (4) is a microcircuit (5), produced in wired logic, architectured or not, around a microprocessor, according to the needs. This microcircuit comprises, an “EPROM” and / or EEPROM type memory, as required.

Le boîtier (1) va se configurer à la lecture des paramètres mémorisés dans le carte à mémoire (4), lesdits paramètres vont définir la nature des signaux, analogiques et/ou numériques capables de donner. et de recevoir les instructions ad-hoc, via le support de transmission choisi, tel que l'infrarouge à l'instar de la plupart des télécommandes diffusées ce jour, ou selon tout autre support de communication connu.The box (1) will be configured on reading the parameters stored in the memory card (4), said parameters will define the nature of the signals, analog and / or digital capable of giving. and receive the ad-hoc instructions, via the chosen transmission medium, such as infrared like most remote controls broadcast today, or according to any other known communication medium.

L'intérêt d'une configuration par carte à mémoire est évidente, et ce, sur au moins deux aspects : en premier lieu elle permet au boîtier unique de se substituer à une multitude de boîtiers, et, en second lieu, ce boîtier unique peut s'adapter à toute autre application à venir, telle que télécommande de climatiseur, de stores électriques, d'ouverture de portail etc... Pour l'application climatiseur, le boîtier est prévu pour être équipé de capteurs à usage de thermomètre, et/ou d'hydromètre, et/ou de baromètre etc... tous ces capteurs affichent leurs mesures sur l'écran à cristaux. La liste des applications est ainsi quasi infinie, du fait que le clavier va se renouveler à chaque application, et l'ensemble des instructions capables d'être émises par le boîtier est chaque fois reprogrammé, en fonction de l'application désirée.The advantage of a memory card configuration is obvious, and this, in at least two aspects: firstly, it allows the single box to replace a multitude of boxes, and, secondly, this single box can adapt to any other future application, such as remote control for air conditioners, electric blinds, gate openers, etc. For the air conditioner application, the box is designed to be fitted with sensors for use as a thermometer, and / or hydrometer, and / or barometer etc ... all these sensors display their measurements on the crystal screen. The list of applications is thus almost endless, due to the fact that the keyboard will renew itself with each application, and the set of instructions capable of being issued by the box is each time reprogrammed, according to the desired application.

Afin qu'il ne soit pas nécessaire d'avoir à introduire chaque fois la carte à mémoire (4), pour passer d'une application à une autre, le boîtier (1) est pourvu d'une mémoire capable de mémoriser plusieurs applications, et pour chacune d'entre elle, l'écran tactile (13) va afficher un icône (6) représentant ladite application, chaque icône étant mémorisé dans la carte à mémoire ; par exemple, si on introduit dans le boîtier une carte à mémoire destinée à configurer le boîtier portatif en une télécommande de magnétoscope, l'écran tactile (13) va aussitôt afficher l'ensemble des touches de la télécommande du magnétoscope, et le boîtier va réagir, comme une télécommande classique, à la pression de l'écran tactile.So that it is not necessary to have to insert the memory card (4) each time, to switch from one application to another, the box (1) is provided with a memory capable of memorizing several applications, and for each of them, the touch screen (13) will display an icon (6) representing said application, each icon being stored in the memory card; for example, if a memory card intended to configure the portable box into a remote control for a video recorder is introduced into the box, the touch screen (13) will immediately display all the keys of the remote control of the video recorder, and the box will react, like a conventional remote control, to the pressure of the touch screen.

Par ailleurs, à chaque introduction d'une nouvelle carte, le clavier va afficher de façon permanente un icône (6) représentatif de la nouvelle fonctionnalité, qui vient d'être mémorisée, et pour passer d'une application à une autre, il n'est pas utile d'insérer une nouvelle carte à mémoire, mais seulement de presser sur la grille (2) de l'écran tactile (13), l'icône correspondant à la fonctionnalité recherchée.Furthermore, each time a new card is inserted, the keyboard will permanently display an icon (6) representative of the new functionality, which has just been memorized, and to switch from one application to another, there is no It is not useful to insert a new memory card, but only to press on the grid (2) of the touch screen (13), the icon corresponding to the functionality sought.

Si le boîtier est amené à mémoriser plusieurs télécommandes d'appareils d'un même type, par exemple trois téléviseurs, l'écran tactile (13) du boîtier, affichera alors trois icônes de téléviseur, accompagnés pour chacun du chiffre 1, 2 et 3.If the box is required to memorize several remote controls for devices of the same type, for example three televisions, the touch screen (13) of the box will then display three TV icons, each accompanied by the number 1, 2 and 3 .

Une fois que le boîtier a lu les cartes à mémoires, définissant les applications et configurant l'écran tactile, l'utilisateur aura à appuyer sur l'icône ad-hoc, pour permettre au boîtier de se configurer pour l'application choisie.Once the box has read the memory cards, defining the applications and configuring the touch screen, the user will have to press the ad-hoc icon, to allow the box to configure itself for the chosen application.

Par défaut de choix d'icône, le boîtier va se programmer sur la dernière configuration programmée.By default of choice of icon, the box will be programmed on the last programmed configuration.

La programmation de l'affichage, permet en outre de disposer d'un clavier à affichage variable.The programming of the display also makes it possible to have a keyboard with variable display.

Chacun sait, que dans l'ensemble des touches d'une télécommande, seules quelques unes sont utilisées fréquemment, la grande majorité d'entre elles est exceptionnellement activée, aussi l'écran tactile (13) du boîtier, va à loisir, soit afficher le clavier complet, soit n'afficher que les touches utiles, tels que: marche, arrêt, volume, changement de chaîne ou de canal etc..., et laisse apparaître en grande dimension quelques touches et symboles (7) indispensables, permettant ainsi une ergonomie adaptée et confortable, par exemple, pour les malvoyants. Everyone knows that in all the buttons on a remote control, only a few are used frequently, the vast majority of them are exceptionally activated, so the touch screen (13) of the box, goes at leisure, either display the full keyboard, or display only the useful keys, such as: on, off, volume, change of chain or channel etc ..., and lets appear in large size some keys and symbols (7) essential, thus allowing adapted and comfortable ergonomics, for example, for the visually impaired.

L'écran tactile (13) a aussi la faculté de se configurer en clavier alphanumérique, permettant ainsi une gamme d'utilisation étendue, par exemple, dans les utilisations de télévision interactive, jeux. Le boîtier (1) peut également être utilisé pour le passage d'examen notamment dans une configuration graphique. L'étudiant recevant selon tout support (17) les éléments des questions sur son écran tactile, aura à rentrer les réponses sur le même écran tactile, les données sont alors acheminées vers une borne prévue à cet effet.The touch screen (13) also has the option of being configured as an alphanumeric keyboard, thus allowing a wide range of use, for example, in the uses of interactive television, games. The box (1) can also be used for passing the examination, in particular in a graphic configuration. The student receiving in any medium (17) the elements of the questions on his touch screen, will have to enter the answers on the same touch screen, the data is then routed to a terminal provided for this purpose.

Il serait possible d'énumérer une foule d'applications sans sortir du thème de l'invention, néanmoins l'application la plus immédiate de l'invention, consiste à remplacer l'ensemble des boîtiers communicants qui envahissent notre existence, par un boîtier unique configurable à volonté.It would be possible to list a host of applications without departing from the subject of the invention, however the most immediate application of the invention consists in replacing all of the communicating boxes which invade our existence, with a single box. configurable at will.

Le boîtier (1) peut également être pourvu d'un circuit basse fréquence adapté, associé à un microphone et un haut-parleur judicieusement positionné, le rendant capable de se substituer à un téléphone d'appartement sans fil, grâce aux moyens intégrés de communication bidirectionnelle (17) avec l'extérieur, l'écran tactile (13) va alors, se configurer en clavier téléphonique.The box (1) can also be provided with a suitable low-frequency circuit, associated with a microphone and a speaker judiciously positioned, making it capable of replacing a cordless apartment telephone, thanks to the integrated means of communication. bidirectional (17) with the outside, the touch screen (13) will then be configured as a telephone keyboard.

L'invention décrite ci-dessus, aussi séduisante soitelle, présente de réelles difficultés de mise en oeuvre.The invention described above, as attractive as it is, presents real difficulties of implementation.

En effet, comment convaincre l'ensemble des fabricants de téléviseurs, de magnétoscopes, de chaînes hautes fidélités à adhérer à un concept, certes séduisant et fédérateur, mais non issu de leur bureau d'étude et nécessitant de nouveaux développements non planifiés ?
En fait, l'invention présentée dans ce document a des chances d'aboutissement dans un délai raisonnable, grâce aux éléments de mise en oeuvre, qui vont être décrits plus loin. Plutôt que de solliciter chaque fabricant d'appareils potentiellement télécommandables, il est infiniment plus aisé de recenser l'ensemble des télécommandes du marché, d'en analyser les fonctionnalités, d'en extraire les paramètres déterminants, et ainsi de définir les couples caractéristiques signaux/fonctions, et à chacun de ces couples, d'attribuer une représentation graphique convenable par symbole (7). I1 est à noter que l'ensemble des constructeurs ont adopté de façon très large, un langage commun de symboles représentant les fonctions.
Indeed, how to convince all the manufacturers of televisions, video recorders, high fidelity chains to adhere to a concept, certainly attractive and unifying, but not resulting from their design office and requiring new unplanned developments?
In fact, the invention presented in this document is likely to be completed within a reasonable time, thanks to the elements of implementation, which will be described later. Rather than asking each manufacturer of potentially remote-controlled devices, it is infinitely easier to identify all of the remote controls on the market, to analyze their functionalities, to extract the determining parameters, and thus to define the characteristic signal pairs. / functions, and to each of these pairs, to assign a suitable graphic representation by symbol (7). It should be noted that all of the manufacturers have adopted, in a very broad way, a common language of symbols representing the functions.

Comme il a été dit plus haut, au lieu de demander à l'ensemble des fabricants d'adhérer au concept, objet du présent brevet, en proposant à chaque acquéreur d'un appareil télécommandable, une carte à mémoire (4) intégrant l'ensemble des paramètres, signaux et symboles attachés à sa télécommande. I1 est plus simple, et surtout plus immédiat, de mémoriser l'ensemble des données, intégrant tous les paramètres de toutes les télécommandes du marché dans une unité de disque dur d'un ordinateur (18), et ainsi de proposer à tout acquéreur d'un boîtier de communication, objet du présent brevet, une ou plusieurs cartes à mémoires (4) réalisées dans une technologie EEPROM, programmées instantanément à la demande de l'utilisateur. Pour être capable de configurer le boîtier de communication (1) et le transformer en télécommande unique, capable de se substituer à toutes les télécommandes qui étaient jusqu'alors nécessaires, le vendeur du boîtier (1), ou tout organisme accrédité, dispose d'un ordinateur (18), Figure 3 planche 2, dont le disque dur a mémorisé l'ensemble des données intégrant tous les paramètres de toutes les télécommandes du marché, lequel ordinateur est pourvu d'un dispositif (19), capable d'enregistrer les données de tel, ou tel type de télécommande sur le microcircuit (5) d'une carte à mémoire (4).As was said above, instead of asking all the manufacturers to adhere to the concept which is the subject of this patent, by offering each purchaser of a remotely controllable device a memory card (4) integrating the set of parameters, signals and symbols attached to its remote control. It is simpler, and above all more immediate, to memorize all the data, integrating all the parameters of all the remote controls on the market in a hard drive of a computer (18), and thus to offer to any purchaser of 'a communication unit, object of this patent, one or more memory cards (4) made in EEPROM technology, programmed instantly at the request of the user.
