以上のように構成されたテレビジョン受信機について、以下その動作について説明する。   The operation of the television receiver configured as described above will be described below.

図2のリモコン送信機103において、キー入力部201は使用者のリモコンによるキー入力ACを受け、体温検出部105は使用者の体表温度を検出し、キー入力判断部202は使用者がどのリモコンキーを押したかを判断し、空温検出部104は空温を検出し、演算部203は体温検出部105と空温検出部104の差を検出し、リモコン信号送信部204は検出されたキーのリモコンコードを発生させる。テレビジョン受信機本体101において、リモコン信号受信部206はリモコン信号BCを受信しリモコンコードを解読し、チューナ制御部207はリモコン信号受信部203によって判別されたキーに従いチューナの制御を行い、マイコン205はリモコン信号受信部206とチューナ制御部207を兼ね備え、チューナ1208はチューナ制御部からの命令を受け選局動作を行い、チューナ2209はチューナ制御部からの命令を受け選局動作を行い、チューナ切り替え部210はチューナ制御部207からの命令を受け、チューナ1208とチューナ2209のどちらを使うかのスイッチを切り替え、映像出力部211でチューナ切り替え部210で切り替えたチューナの映像を出力する。   In the remote control transmitter 103 of FIG. 2, the key input unit 201 receives key input AC from the user's remote control, the body temperature detection unit 105 detects the body surface temperature of the user, and the key input determination unit 202 determines which user It is determined whether the remote control key is pressed, the air temperature detection unit 104 detects the air temperature, the calculation unit 203 detects the difference between the body temperature detection unit 105 and the air temperature detection unit 104, and the remote control signal transmission unit 204 is detected. Generate key remote control code. In the television receiver body 101, the remote control signal receiving unit 206 receives the remote control signal BC and decodes the remote control code, and the tuner control unit 207 controls the tuner according to the key determined by the remote control signal receiving unit 203, and the microcomputer 205 Has a remote control signal receiving unit 206 and a tuner control unit 207, a tuner 1208 performs a channel selection operation in response to a command from the tuner control unit, and a tuner 2209 performs a channel selection operation in response to a command from the tuner control unit. The unit 210 receives a command from the tuner control unit 207, switches a switch as to which of the tuner 1208 and the tuner 2209 is used, and outputs a video of the tuner switched by the tuner switching unit 210 in the video output unit 211.

さて、従来の技術では、リモコンを用いて番組を選局する際、切り替えに時間がかかる場合があったため、使用者に不快感を与えることがあった。   In the conventional technique, when a program is selected using a remote controller, it may take time to switch, which may cause discomfort to the user.

前記の問題点を回避するためには、番組の切り替え時間の短縮化を行えばよい。次にその一例を示す。   In order to avoid the above problems, the program switching time may be shortened. An example is shown below.

使用者がテレビで2チャンネルを視聴中に、リモコン送信機103を用いて4チャンネルに変えようとしたとする。   It is assumed that the user tries to change to 4 channels using the remote control transmitter 103 while viewing 2 channels on the television.

そこで使用者はリモコンの上部に付属のチャンネルキーを押そうとする。視聴者がキーに触れた際、キー入力部201では、体温検出部105により使用者の体温が検出され、また、キー入力判断部202ではどのキーが押されたのかを判断する。体温が36度、キー入力は4チャンネルとする。さらに、空温検出部104で現在の気温が検出され、26度だったとする。次に、演算部203によって、空温検出部104と体温検出部105で検出した値の差が計算される。空温26度、体温36度としているので、差は10度となる。差があるということは、キーが押されようとしているということがわかる。そこで、リモコン信号送信部204からキーが押されようとしている4チャンネルという情報BCをテレビジョン受信機本体101のマイコン205に送り、リモコン信号受信部206が4チャンネルという情報を受け取り、チューナ制御部207へ4チャンネルという情報を送る。現在第1のチューナ208を用いて2チャンネルを視聴しているとすると、チューナ制御部207では、使用してない第2のチューナ209へ4チャンネルを選局するよう命令を送る。これで、副チューナで前もって4チャンネルを選局することになる。   The user then tries to press the channel key attached to the top of the remote control. When the viewer touches the key, the key input unit 201 detects the body temperature of the user by the body temperature detection unit 105, and the key input determination unit 202 determines which key is pressed. Body temperature is 36 degrees and key input is 4 channels. Furthermore, it is assumed that the current temperature is detected by the air temperature detection unit 104 and is 26 degrees. Next, the calculation unit 203 calculates a difference between values detected by the air temperature detection unit 104 and the body temperature detection unit 105. Since the air temperature is 26 degrees and the body temperature is 36 degrees, the difference is 10 degrees. A difference indicates that the key is about to be pressed. Therefore, the remote controller signal transmitter 204 sends information BC of the four channels that the key is about to be pressed to the microcomputer 205 of the television receiver body 101, and the remote controller signal receiver 206 receives the information of the four channels, and the tuner controller 207. Send information about 4 channels. Assuming that the first tuner 208 is currently being used to watch two channels, the tuner control unit 207 sends a command to the second tuner 209 that is not used to select four channels. This will select 4 channels in advance at the secondary tuner.

次に、使用者が4チャンネルのキーを触れている状態から押下したとすると、リモコン送信部103のキー入力判断部202で4チャンネルが押されたということを確定し、その情報を演算部203とリモコン信号送信部204、リモコン信号受信部206を介し、チューナ制御部207に4チャンネルが押下されたとい情報を送る。チューナ制御部207では、「現在第1のチューナ208を使用し、2チャンネルを視聴している」、「体温検出によって第2のチューナ209で前もって4チャンネルを選局している」という2つの情報をもとに、使用者は次に4チャンネルを視聴したいと確定できたため、第1のチューナ208から第2のチューナ209へ切り替える処理を行う。チューナ切り替え部210のスイッチを第2のチューナ209の方へ倒し、映像出力部211で第1のチューナ208を使用して2チャンネルが表示されていたのを、瞬時に第2のチューナ209に切り替えることで、あらかじめ選局していた4チャンネルへ切り替える。   Next, when the user presses the key of the 4 channel from the touched state, the key input determination unit 202 of the remote control transmission unit 103 determines that the 4 channel is pressed, and the information is calculated by the calculation unit 203. The remote control signal transmission unit 204 and the remote control signal reception unit 206 transmit information to the tuner control unit 207 when the fourth channel is pressed. The tuner control unit 207 has two pieces of information, “currently using the first tuner 208 and watching 2 channels” and “selecting 4 channels in advance by the second tuner 209 by detecting body temperature”. Based on the above, since the user has determined that he / she wants to view the next four channels, a process of switching from the first tuner 208 to the second tuner 209 is performed. The switch of the tuner switching unit 210 is tilted toward the second tuner 209, and the video output unit 211 uses the first tuner 208 to display the two channels, and instantly switches to the second tuner 209. By doing so, the channel is switched to the previously selected 4 channel.

使用者が次に視聴しようとする番組の4チャンネルを前もって第2のチューナ209で選局していたため、第1のチューナ208から第2のチューナ209へ切り替えることで選局動作を行い、従来の動作よりも早いく選局を行うことができるのである。   Since the second tuner 209 previously selected the four channels of the program that the user intends to view next, the channel selection operation is performed by switching from the first tuner 208 to the second tuner 209. Channel selection can be performed earlier than the operation.

以上のような構成をとっているので、使用者には選局が遅いと言う不快感を覚えさせずに選局を行うことを可能としている。   Since the above configuration is adopted, it is possible to perform channel selection without causing the user to feel uncomfortable that the channel selection is slow.

本実施例において、空温検出部104をリモコン送信機103内に設けたが、それに限定されるものではなく、テレビジョン受信機本体101の方に設けてもよい。そして、前記空温検出部104と体温検出部105として熱電対を用いる例について説明したが、その他のセンサを用いてもよい。   In the present embodiment, the air temperature detection unit 104 is provided in the remote control transmitter 103, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be provided in the television receiver main body 101. And although the example which uses a thermocouple as the said air temperature detection part 104 and the body temperature detection part 105 was demonstrated, you may use another sensor.

また、一例としてチャンネルを選局する操作を説明したが、他のキーについても同様の動作を可能とする。   Moreover, although the operation for selecting a channel has been described as an example, the same operation is possible for other keys.

本発明にかかるテレビジョン受信機は、使用者の選局動作が遅いという不快感を軽減させるものであり、リモートコントロールを具備し、番組の選局を行うテレビジョン受信機等において有用である。   The television receiver according to the present invention reduces an unpleasant feeling that a user's channel selection operation is slow, and is useful in a television receiver or the like that includes a remote control and selects a program.
