DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a widespread use of portable telephones, satellite telephones, and telephone handsets which are widely used. In addition, operate switches, buttons or levers of home appliances and other remote control devices designed and manufactured on the premise of direct operation by healthy people on behalf of persons with physical disabilities. This makes it easier to use home appliances. A device (FIG. 1) for directly pressing a dial button of a mobile phone, a satellite phone, and a telephone handset, and a method (FIG. 3) (FIG. 4) and a combination thereof for operating switches, buttons or levers of other devices.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when using a mobile phone, a satellite phone, and a telephone handset, a person directly presses a dial button. Further, conventional notification systems and devices are mainly connected to a wired line, and cannot respond quickly to movement or relocation of system components. There is also a wireless system, but the installation, maintenance and operation have taken too much expense. In particular, in information communication including automatic communication of conventional security devices and remote control of mechanical devices, a specific device is connected to a public wired line such as NTT and various sensors are installed in a building, or a special wired type is used. They had to install dedicated lines or wireless equipment.

[0003] Therefore, the system configuration is not easy in a place without a wired line. For example, in the case of measurement at a place where a house is not nearby, or in the case of remote control of equipment, a wireless device must be installed or a wire must be laid to that point, which is time and costly. In addition, the transmitting side and the receiving side have a fixed geographical positional relationship from each other in terms of the required size of equipment and characteristics of components.

[0004] Further, even when a wired line is already present, a program for performing processing in accordance with a tone signal or a pulse signal such as DTMF to receive and analyze transmitted information, and finally a target device or the like. ON / OFF switch
It was necessary to design and manufacture an electric circuit and a device corresponding to each time. This was not something that ordinary people could easily achieve, but required specialized knowledge, advanced equipment and special tools.

[0005] For this reason, general-purpose remote control including the remote control of the electric appliance which has been used for a long time cannot be performed, which is inconvenient.

Further, in the case of a security system, a sensor cannot be installed indoors or at an arbitrary place in a site. Sensors were installed semi-permanently on many windows and doors, which was wasteful and expensive. This is the same when other sensors are used.

Further, the safety confirmation of elderly people living alone is based on the premise that there is a public wired line in advance. Otherwise, a patrol light or the like is installed outside the house, and the person operates the switch in an emergency. There are many forms.

[0008] As a case that is frequently used at present, there is a notification of the replenishment timing of propane gas. When a special dedicated device is connected to a public wired line, and this is connected to a weighing device, etc., and the weight loss reaches a certain level, the information is automatically transmitted to the control center, and the individual delivery company or contact point is contacted again. It is an expensive system that is large and requires a lot of work.

At present, monkeys, deer, and wild boars are the most serious of the crop damage, and are threatened and shot by hunting guns in high-infested areas, or nets and fences are stretched, and sometimes high-voltage wires are installed. We are trying to prevent this, but the effect is small.

[0010] For the purpose of nature conservation, academic research and animal research, there are devices for sensing and photographing infrared rays.
However, you can finally get the film, print it out after collecting it, and know what the film is.
However, there are also special radio and video equipments that allow you to observe from a distance. Television broadcasting is one of them.

There are cages and traps that detect and capture infrared rays for the purpose of nature conservation, academic research and animal research. However, there are many kinds of animals that emit infrared light, and it is necessary to use an expensive and special device to operate the switch of the capture device by observing the voice of the target animal or the sound of eating food from a remote place.

Analysis of the functions of the special devices on the transmitting side and the receiving side, which have been described so far, shows that a tone signal or a pulse signal such as a DTMF signal is transmitted by a special electronic circuit, and is mainly transmitted by wire or wirelessly. Transmit to the receiving side. Therefore, a tone signal such as a DTMF signal or a pulse signal on the receiving side is displayed on a display device or recorded on a recording device by an electronic circuit for decoding the tone signal or the pulse signal.

Even if a wired telephone or a portable telephone has a function of transmitting a tone signal or a pulse signal, it cannot transmit a tone signal or a pulse signal unless a person directly operates a dial button.

It is to be noted that an apparatus which processes signals from various sensors to control data by two-way communication with a wired or wireless telephone, a portable telephone, a satellite telephone, or a telephone handset has been put to practical use. This is a simple combination of electrical signals,
In addition, a special device designed from the beginning is used by limiting the individual operations or applications of the transmitting and receiving sides, and the idea is different from the present invention.

[0015]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to home electric appliances designed or manufactured on the premise of pressing a dial button of a widely used portable telephone or satellite telephone or directly operating by a human hand. Flexible and reliable information that can be configured in a compact and inexpensive manner by combining a device (FIG. 3) (FIG. 4) that presses a switch, a button, a lever, or the like of a device to be controlled and its remote control device with an electronic circuit such as a microcomputer. The present invention also relates to an apparatus, a system, and a method of using a remote control system that can be owned by an individual.

[0016]

According to the present invention, an electric magnet controlled by a microcomputer is used as an electrically operated device. (FIG. 1-1) A piezoelectric element can also be used. An iron core (Fig. 1-3) that can move inside the coil of the electromagnet and a push rod (Figs. 1-4, 5) connected to the iron core are shaken over each of the dial buttons of a mobile phone or a satellite phone. Install in a dimensional relationship to provide a gap to prevent malfunction. By controlling the energization of the coil of the electric magnet by the microcomputer, the mobile phone or the satellite phone is turned on and off and transmitted. The same applies to the case of using a piezoelectric element.

A microphone (FIG. 5-19) for receiving a tone signal is provided near a receiving speaker of a portable telephone or a satellite telephone, connected to a tone analyzing circuit, and placed on a shutter button of a device, for example, a camera to be operated. Although it has the same structure as that installed on the dial button of a telephone or satellite phone, the installation of a push rod using an electromagnet that produces a relatively strong force (Fig. 4) provides the function of automatically reporting and following remote instructions. It was realized. At this time, for example, if multiple push rods similar to those placed on the shutter button of the camera are used, not only under the control of this system without remodeling many appliances in a wide range of fields including home appliances,
It can be separated from the system immediately when needed and used for conventional purposes. (FIG. 3) (FIG. 4)

The iron core movable in the coil was returned by a spring (FIG. 1-2). The tip of the push rod was coated with a resin (FIG. 1-7) for the purpose of reducing impact. Also, an exposed portion is provided so that operation can be directly confirmed with a finger so that operation can be easily confirmed (FIGS. 1-4 and 5).
In order to make it easy for the stroke of the push rod to be adapted to the mobile phone or the satellite phone to be used, the structure is vertically adjusted and a fixing screw is provided. (FIG. 1-6) However, these portions may not be operated from the outside, or may be an integrated iron core suitable for a mobile phone or a satellite phone used without adjustment.

In some cases, a single push rod or a plurality of push rods connected to an iron core operated by an electric magnet may be provided. However, it has been found that it is sufficient to press the three dial buttons for power supply, transmission, and redial. I have.

It has been found that the push rod works well simply by making a hole in the integral ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (FIG. 1-11) and sliding through it. It is also known that a plurality of destinations can be handled with a small number of push rods by using the shortening function of the mobile phone.

The battery was used in the present system while being charged (FIG. 2) while standing on an attached charging stand (FIG. 2-9) using a commercial power supply or a storage battery. At this time, the mobile phone was usually used as a mobile phone, and was automatically set to be sent to the home or abbreviated number registration destination when the sensors responded to the conditions set and set at the work or work site when returning home. (Fig. 5)

It has been found that it is easier to use a button with a margin time and a button for canceling and setting. Furthermore, the antenna of the mobile phone may be attached, and a better communication state was obtained when the antenna was installed on the upper part of the system device.

In some cases, the contents of recording and the reproduction timing can be set remotely by a combination with an electronic circuit such as a digital recording device (FIG. 3-15). In this method, a speaker (Fig. 5-20) and a microphone (Fig. 5-19) that can transmit and receive tone signals and pulse signals such as DTMF signals are provided near the receiver and the transmitter, and the decoder circuit and the generator circuit are connected respectively. And the microcomputer (FIG. 5-23). In addition, when a combination with various input sensors (FIG. 5-21) for sensing light and dark or infrared light is used, a message suitable for daytime or nighttime may be changed every time. The voice is sent by controlling the record button (FIG. 3-12) and the play button (FIG. 3-13).

In this case, when the present system is installed outdoors or indoors in various places, it is easy to carry out product advertisement, news report and publicity advertisement through a loudspeaker (FIG. 5-18).

It has been found that a message length of about 20 seconds is appropriate for digitizing voice and storing it in an IC memory and reproducing it by voice synthesis. In other words, it has been found that a sufficient amount of information such as the sender's name or the content of the desired response such as the identification of the place or the occurrence content can be obtained. The short playback time is insufficient for information, and at the same time, it is too monotonous and intimidating to broadcast warning content, and the long playback time is too redundant to pick up the receiver on the receiving side and understand the information clearly depending on the timing of receiving. is there. Moreover, after the reproduction, it is necessary to monitor the sound around the transmitting system transmitted from the mobile phone or the satellite phone. If this time is not appropriate, the situation cannot be fully grasped.

Since the power consumption of this system is very small, the system can be operated for a long time even with dry batteries. However, considering the self-discharge of the built-in battery of the mobile phone or the satellite phone, the battery of the mobile phone or the satellite phone is always in a sufficient state. Preferably, a small battery (FIGS. 5-24) is used as a built-in power supply for the system. In addition, a combination of solar cells can be used for a long time even in a place where there is no commercial power supply. The size of this system is 17cm in width, 24cm in width and 18cm in depth, weighs less than 3kg, and the battery uses about 1kg of this weight. In addition, a mobile phone or a satellite phone is inserted and mounted, and a device with a built-in sensor and speaker is used. Therefore, the mobile installation was very easy.
