Description

本発明は、浴室に設置するテレビ等に関するもので、特に、アナログ放送が廃止された場合の選局手段に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a television set installed in a bathroom, and more particularly to a channel selection means when analog broadcasting is abolished.

従来、この種の浴室に設置するテレビには、アナログ放送（ＶＨＦ／ＵＨＦ）を受信することを目的とした比較的小型のものが使用されている。   Conventionally, televisions installed in this type of bathroom have been relatively small for the purpose of receiving analog broadcasting (VHF / UHF).

図３は、従来の浴室用テレビの構成を示すもので、アンテナで受信した信号をアンテナ線を介してアンテナ接続用端子２からアナログ放送用チューナー３へ伝え、チャンネルスイッチ等の選局切換手段４からの選局指示に基づいてアナログ放送用チューナー３で選択された信号を画像および音声に復調してテレビ本体１の画面（液晶パネルやＣＲＴ）およびスピーカーへ出力するものである。   FIG. 3 shows a configuration of a conventional bathroom television. A signal received by an antenna is transmitted from an antenna connection terminal 2 to an analog broadcast tuner 3 via an antenna line, and a channel selection switch 4 such as a channel switch. The signal selected by the analog broadcast tuner 3 based on the channel selection instruction is demodulated into an image and sound and output to the screen (liquid crystal panel or CRT) and the speaker of the television main body 1.

一般のテレビにおいては、種々の規格の映像信号を入力する端子（Ｄ端子、Ｓ端子、ビデオ端子等）が設けられたものがあるが、浴室用テレビでは、防滴性が要求され、かつ、比較的小型のテレビが使用されるので、アンテナ接続用端子のみの構成がとられている。   In general televisions, there are terminals (D terminal, S terminal, video terminal, etc.) for inputting video signals of various standards, but bathroom televisions are required to be drip-proof, and Since a relatively small television is used, only the antenna connection terminal is used.

浴室用テレビに画像や音声の信号を伝える方式としては、微弱電波の送受信機を用いたもの（例えば、特許文献１参照）や給湯機のリモコン配線を用いたもの（例えば、特許文献２参照）が提案されているが、価格的な課題もあって実用には至っていない。   As a method of transmitting an image or sound signal to a bathroom television, a method using a weak radio wave transmitter / receiver (for example, see Patent Document 1) or a method using remote control wiring of a water heater (for example, Patent Document 2) Has been proposed, but due to price issues, it has not been put into practical use.

一方、アナログ放送は、現在、デジタル放送への置き換えが進められており、２０１１年には、アナログ放送が廃止されようとしている。   On the other hand, analog broadcasting is currently being replaced by digital broadcasting. In 2011, analog broadcasting is about to be abolished.

浴室用テレビについては、浴室に組み込まれて設置される場合が多く、今後、デジタル放送用チューナーを搭載した浴室用テレビが市販されても、交換するには工事が必要で手間がかかる。   In many cases, bathroom televisions are installed in the bathroom. Even if bathroom televisions equipped with digital broadcast tuners are marketed in the future, replacement requires work and labor.

そこで、アナログ放送用の浴室テレビをそのまま利用して、デジタル放送を受信できるようにした構成を図４に示す。アンテナで受信した信号をデジタル放送用チューナーに伝え、デジタル放送用チューナーからの出力（ビデオ信号）をＲＦコンバータを介して、浴室用テレビのアンテナ接続用端子２に接続している。この構成によれば、浴室用テレビをそのまま利用してデジタル放送を見ることができる。
特開２００１−２３０７１６号公報 特開平１１−１５９８６１号公報 Accordingly, FIG. 4 shows a configuration in which digital broadcasting can be received by using a bathroom television for analog broadcasting as it is. The signal received by the antenna is transmitted to the digital broadcast tuner, and the output (video signal) from the digital broadcast tuner is connected to the antenna connection terminal 2 of the bathroom television via the RF converter. According to this configuration, digital broadcasting can be viewed using the bathroom television as it is.

しかしながら、前記従来の構成では、デジタル放送用チューナーで選局するので、浴室用テレビのチャンネルスイッチ等の選局切換手段４を操作しても選局を切換えることができないという課題を有していた。   However, in the conventional configuration, since the channel selection is performed by the tuner for digital broadcasting, there is a problem that the channel selection cannot be switched even if the channel selection switching means 4 such as a channel switch of a bathroom television is operated. .

本発明は、前記従来の課題を解決するもので、操作性を損なうことなくデジタル放送用チューナーを接続でき、将来、アナログ放送が廃止された際にも、使い勝手のよい浴室用テレビを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and can provide a digital television tuner that can be connected without impairing operability, and is easy to use even when analog broadcasting is abolished in the future. With the goal.

前記従来の課題を解決するために、本発明の浴室用テレビ等の制御装置は、選局切換手段４によって指示されている選局状態を浴室用テレビ外部へ伝える選局指示信号送出手段７を備えている。   In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, a control device for a bathroom television or the like according to the present invention includes a channel selection instruction signal sending means 7 for transmitting a channel selection state instructed by the channel selection switching means 4 to the outside of the bathroom television. I have.

これによって、浴室用テレビの外部にデジタル放送用チューナーを接続する場合に選局切換手段４によって指示されている選局状態をデジタル放送用チューナーに伝えることができ、浴室用テレビのチャンネルスイッチ等の選局切換手段４を操作することでデジタル放送の選局が可能になる。   As a result, when a digital broadcast tuner is connected to the outside of the bathroom television, the channel selection state instructed by the channel selection switching means 4 can be transmitted to the digital broadcast tuner, such as a bathroom television channel switch. By operating the channel selection switching means 4, it is possible to select a digital broadcast.

本発明の浴室用テレビ等の制御装置は、アナログ放送からデジタル放送への切換えの際に、操作性を損なうことなく、かつ容易にデジタル放送用チューナーを接続することができる。   The control device such as a bathroom television of the present invention can easily connect a digital broadcasting tuner without degrading operability when switching from analog broadcasting to digital broadcasting.

第１の発明は、浴室に設置するテレビまたはテレビを内蔵した給湯機用浴室リモコンにおいて、アンテナ線を接続するＶＨＦ／ＵＨＦ接続用端子２とアナログ放送用チューナー３とチャンネルスイッチ等の選局切換手段４とを備え、前記選局切換手段４によって指示されている選局状態を浴室用テレビ外部へ伝える選局指示信号送出手段７を備えていることにより、浴室用テレビの外部にデジタル放送用チューナーを接続する場合に選局切換手段４によって指示されている選局状態をデジタル放送用チューナーに伝えることができ、浴室用テレビのチャンネルスイッチ等の選局切換手段４を操作することでデジタル放送の選局をすることができる。   The first invention is a television set installed in a bathroom or a bathroom remote controller for a water heater with a built-in television, and a channel selection switch means such as a VHF / UHF connection terminal 2 for connecting an antenna line, an analog broadcast tuner 3 and a channel switch. 4 and a channel selection instruction signal sending means 7 for transmitting the channel selection state instructed by the channel selection switching means 4 to the outside of the bathroom television, thereby providing a digital broadcast tuner outside the bathroom television. Can be transmitted to the tuner for digital broadcasting by operating the channel selection switching means 4 such as a channel switch of a bathroom television. You can tune in.

第２の発明は、特に、第１の発明の選局指示信号送出手段７に切換機能を持たせ、選局切換手段４によってなされた選局指示をアナログ放送用チューナー３へそのまま伝える場合と、アナログ放送用チューナー３へは固定の選局指示を伝え、選局切換手段４によってなされた選局指示をテレビ外部へ送出する場合とを切換えられるようにしたもので、アナログ放送を受信している間は、前記選局切換手段４によってなされた選局指示をアナログ放送用チューナー３へそのまま伝え、アナログ放送が廃止された際に、デジタル放送用チューナーを外部接続したときにはアナログ放送用チューナー３へは固定の選局指示を伝え、選局切換手段４によってなされた選局指示を選局指示信号送出手段７を介してデジタル放送用チューナーへ伝える構成が容易に実現できる。   In the second invention, in particular, the channel selection instruction signal transmission means 7 of the first invention has a switching function, and the channel selection instruction made by the channel selection switching means 4 is transmitted to the analog broadcast tuner 3 as it is. The analog broadcast tuner 3 is informed of a fixed channel selection instruction, and can switch between the case where the channel selection instruction made by the channel selection switching means 4 is transmitted to the outside of the television, and receives the analog broadcast. In the meantime, the channel selection instruction made by the channel selection switching means 4 is transmitted to the analog broadcast tuner 3 as it is, and when the analog broadcast is abolished and the digital broadcast tuner is externally connected, the analog broadcast tuner 3 is not connected. Configuration for transmitting a fixed channel selection instruction and transmitting the channel selection instruction made by the channel selection switching means 4 to the tuner for digital broadcasting via the channel selection instruction signal sending means 7 It can be easily realized.

第３の発明は、特に、第１または第２の発明の選局指示信号送出手段７より送出される信号を赤外線発光方式のＰＰＭ変調した光信号に変換するようにしたことにより、市販のデジタル放送用チューナーに、通常装備されている赤外線リモコンの受光部を利用して、浴室用テレビの選局切換手段４によってなされた選局指示をデジタル放送用チューナーに容易に伝えることができる。   In the third invention, in particular, the signal sent from the channel selection instruction signal sending means 7 of the first or second invention is converted into an infrared light emission type PPM-modulated optical signal. By using the light receiving unit of the infrared remote controller that is normally installed in the broadcast tuner, the channel selection instruction made by the channel selection switching means 4 of the bathroom television can be easily transmitted to the digital broadcast tuner.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。なお、この実施の形態によって本発明が限定されるものではない。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

（実施の形態１）
図１は、本発明の第１の実施の形態における浴室用テレビ等の制御装置のブロック図を示すものである。 (Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a control device such as a bathroom television in the first embodiment of the present invention.

図１において、浴室テレビ本体１の内部にアンテナ線を接続するＶＨＦ／ＵＨＦ接続用端子２とアナログ放送用チューナー３とチャンネルスイッチ等の選局切換手段４とを備え更に、選局切換手段４によって指示されている選局状態を浴室用テレビ外部へ伝える選局指示信号送出手段７を設けている。また、各構成ブロック間の信号の流れを矢印にて表している。ＶＨＦ／ＵＨＦ接続用端子２は、端子と記しているが、コネクタであっても、ケーブル線で引き出したものでもよい。   In FIG. 1, a VHF / UHF connection terminal 2 for connecting an antenna line to the interior of a bathroom TV main body 1, an analog broadcast tuner 3, and a channel selection switch 4 such as a channel switch are provided. There is provided a channel selection instruction signal transmission means 7 for transmitting the selected channel selection state to the outside of the bathroom television. The flow of signals between the constituent blocks is indicated by arrows. The VHF / UHF connection terminal 2 is described as a terminal, but it may be a connector or a cable wire.

以上のように構成された浴室用テレビ等の制御装置について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。   The operation and action of the control device such as a bathroom television configured as described above will be described below.

まず、ＶＨＦ／ＵＨＦ接続用端子２に入力する信号は、アナログ放送受信時にはアンテナで受信した信号であり、デジタル放送受信時には図１に示したようにデジタル放送用チューナー５の出力をＲＦコンバータ６で変換した信号になる。ＶＨＦ／ＵＨＦ接続用端子２に入力された信号はアナログ放送用チューナー３へ伝えられる。チャンネルスイッチ等の選局切換手段４からの選局指示は、選局指示信号送出手段７に伝えられ、選局状態が浴室用テレビから外部へ伝達される。選局指示信号送出手段７は、選局状態を浴室用テレビ外部へ伝達すると伴にアナログ放送用チューナー３へも選局指示を伝える。この選局指示に基づいてアナログ放送用チューナー３で選択された信号を画像および音声に復調してテレビ本体１の画面（液晶パネルやＣＲＴ）およびスピーカーへ出力する。   First, a signal input to the VHF / UHF connection terminal 2 is a signal received by an antenna when receiving an analog broadcast, and when receiving a digital broadcast, the output of the digital broadcast tuner 5 is output by an RF converter 6 as shown in FIG. It becomes the converted signal. The signal input to the VHF / UHF connection terminal 2 is transmitted to the analog broadcast tuner 3. A channel selection instruction from channel selection switching means 4 such as a channel switch is transmitted to channel selection instruction signal sending means 7, and the channel selection state is transmitted from the bathroom television to the outside. The channel selection instruction signal transmission means 7 transmits the channel selection state to the outside of the bathroom television and also transmits the channel selection instruction to the analog broadcast tuner 3. Based on this channel selection instruction, the signal selected by the analog broadcast tuner 3 is demodulated into an image and sound and output to the screen (liquid crystal panel or CRT) and the speaker of the television body 1.

アナログ放送受信時には、選局切換手段４からの選局指示が選局指示信号送出手段７を介してそのままアナログ放送用チューナー３へ伝えられる。   When receiving the analog broadcast, the channel selection instruction from the channel selection switching means 4 is transmitted as it is to the analog broadcast tuner 3 via the channel selection instruction signal sending means 7.

デジタル放送受信時には、選局切換手段４からの選局指示が選局指示信号送出手段７を介して浴室テレビの外部に設置したデジタル放送用チューナー５に伝えられる。この選局指示に基づいてデジタル放送用チューナー５は選局、復調処理を行い、映像と音声の信号を出力する。デジタル放送用チューナー５の出力はＲＦコンバータ６を介してＶＨＦ／ＵＨＦ接続用端子２に入力され、アナログ放送用チューナー３へ伝えられる。このＲＦコンバータ６からの信号は特定の局の周波数になるので、選局指示信号送出手段７はこの特定の局の選局指示をアナログ放送用チューナー３へ伝える。   When receiving the digital broadcast, the channel selection instruction from the channel selection switching means 4 is transmitted to the digital broadcast tuner 5 installed outside the bathroom television via the channel selection instruction signal sending means 7. Based on this channel selection instruction, the digital broadcast tuner 5 performs channel selection and demodulation processing, and outputs video and audio signals. The output of the digital broadcast tuner 5 is input to the VHF / UHF connection terminal 2 via the RF converter 6 and transmitted to the analog broadcast tuner 3. Since the signal from the RF converter 6 has a frequency of a specific station, the channel selection instruction signal transmitting means 7 transmits the channel selection instruction of the specific station to the analog broadcast tuner 3.

以上のように、本実施の形態においては、選局切換手段４によって指示されている選局状態を浴室用テレビ外部へ伝える選局指示信号送出手段７を備えているので、アナログ放送が廃止されデジタル放送へ切換わった場合にも、浴室用テレビの選局切換手段４によって選局することができ、操作性を損なうことがない。   As described above, in the present embodiment, since the channel selection instruction signal sending unit 7 for transmitting the channel selection state instructed by the channel selection switching unit 4 to the outside of the bathroom television is provided, analog broadcasting is abolished. Even when switching to digital broadcasting, the channel selection switching means 4 of the bathroom television can select a channel, and the operability is not impaired.

また、本実施の形態では、選局指示信号送出手段７において、アナログ放送受信時とデジタル放送受信時とでアナログ放送用チューナー３へ伝える選局指示を切換えるようにしているので、デジタル放送へ切換わった場合にも、浴室用テレビ自体はそのまま使用することができる。   Further, in this embodiment, the channel selection instruction signal sending means 7 switches the channel selection instruction transmitted to the analog broadcast tuner 3 when analog broadcast is received and when digital broadcast is received. Even in the case of a change, the bathroom television itself can be used as it is.

（実施の形態２）
図２は、本発明の第２の実施の形態の浴室用テレビ等の制御装置のブロック図を示すものである。 (Embodiment 2)
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a control device such as a bathroom television according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

図２において、浴室テレビ本体１の内部にアンテナ線を接続するＶＨＦ／ＵＨＦ接続用端子２とアナログ放送用チューナー３とチャンネルスイッチ等の選局切換手段４とを備え更に、選局切換手段４によって指示されている選局状態を浴室用テレビ外部へ伝える選局指示信号送出手段７を設けている。また、前記選局指示信号送出手段７から伝えられた選局状態を赤外線発光方式のＰＰＭ変調した光信号に変換するＰＰＭ変調赤外線発光手段８を設けている。各構成ブロック間の信号の流れは、矢印にて表している。   In FIG. 2, a VHF / UHF connection terminal 2 for connecting an antenna line to the interior of the bathroom TV body 1, an analog broadcast tuner 3, and channel selection switching means 4 such as a channel switch are provided. There is provided a channel selection instruction signal transmission means 7 for transmitting the selected channel selection state to the outside of the bathroom television. Further, there is provided PPM modulated infrared light emitting means 8 for converting the channel selection state transmitted from the channel selection instruction signal transmitting means 7 into an infrared light emission type PPM modulated optical signal. The flow of signals between the constituent blocks is indicated by arrows.

以上のように構成された浴室用テレビ等の制御装置について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。   The operation and action of the control device such as a bathroom television configured as described above will be described below.

まず、ＶＨＦ／ＵＨＦ接続用端子２に入力する信号は、アナログ放送受信時にはアンテナで受信した信号であり、デジタル放送受信時には図２に示したようにデジタル放送用チューナー５の出力をＲＦコンバータ６で変換した信号になる。ＶＨＦ／ＵＨＦ接続用端子２に入力された信号はアナログ放送用チューナー３へ伝えられる。   First, a signal input to the VHF / UHF connection terminal 2 is a signal received by an antenna when receiving an analog broadcast, and when receiving a digital broadcast, the output of the digital broadcast tuner 5 is output by an RF converter 6 as shown in FIG. It becomes the converted signal. The signal input to the VHF / UHF connection terminal 2 is transmitted to the analog broadcast tuner 3.

チャンネルスイッチ等の選局切換手段４からの選局指示は、選局指示信号送出手段７に伝えられ、選局状態が浴室用テレビから外部へ伝達される。選局指示信号送出手段７は、選局状態を浴室用テレビ外部へ伝達すると伴にアナログ放送用チューナー３へも選局指示を伝える。この選局指示に基づいてアナログ放送用チューナー３で選択された信号を画像および音声に復調してテレビ本体１の画面（液晶パネルやＣＲＴ）およびスピーカーへ出力する。   A channel selection instruction from channel selection switching means 4 such as a channel switch is transmitted to channel selection instruction signal sending means 7, and the channel selection state is transmitted from the bathroom television to the outside. The channel selection instruction signal transmission means 7 transmits the channel selection state to the outside of the bathroom television and also transmits the channel selection instruction to the analog broadcast tuner 3. Based on this channel selection instruction, the signal selected by the analog broadcast tuner 3 is demodulated into an image and sound and output to the screen (liquid crystal panel or CRT) and the speaker of the television body 1.

アナログ放送受信時には、選局切換手段４からの選局指示が選局指示信号送出手段７を介してそのままアナログ放送用チューナー３へ伝えられる。   When receiving the analog broadcast, the channel selection instruction from the channel selection switching means 4 is transmitted as it is to the analog broadcast tuner 3 via the channel selection instruction signal sending means 7.

デジタル放送受信時には、選局切換手段４からの選局指示が選局指示信号送出手段７およびＰＰＭ変調赤外線発光手段８を介して浴室テレビの外部に設置したデジタル放送用チューナー５に伝えられる。この選局指示に基づいてデジタル放送用チューナー５は選局、復調処理を行い、映像と音声の信号を出力する。デジタル放送用チューナー５の出力はＲＦコンバータ６を介してＶＨＦ／ＵＨＦ接続用端子２に入力され、アナログ放送用チューナー３へ伝えられる。このＲＦコンバータ６からの信号は特定の局の周波数になるので、選局指示信号送出手段７はこの特定の局の選局指示をアナログ放送用チューナー３へ伝える。   At the time of digital broadcast reception, a channel selection instruction from the channel selection switching means 4 is transmitted to the digital broadcast tuner 5 installed outside the bathroom television via the channel selection instruction signal sending means 7 and the PPM modulated infrared light emitting means 8. Based on this channel selection instruction, the digital broadcast tuner 5 performs channel selection and demodulation processing, and outputs video and audio signals. The output of the digital broadcast tuner 5 is input to the VHF / UHF connection terminal 2 via the RF converter 6 and transmitted to the analog broadcast tuner 3. Since the signal from the RF converter 6 has a frequency of a specific station, the channel selection instruction signal transmitting means 7 transmits the channel selection instruction of the specific station to the analog broadcast tuner 3.

以上のように、本実施の形態においては、選局切換手段４からの選局指示が選局指示信号送出手段７およびＰＰＭ変調赤外線発光手段８を介して浴室テレビの外部に設置したデジタル放送用チューナー５に伝えられるようにしている。市販のデジタル放送用チューナーには、通常、赤外線リモコンの受光部が装備されてので、容易に選局切換手段４からの選局指示をデジタル放送用チューナー５へ伝えることができる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the channel selection instruction from the channel selection switching means 4 is for digital broadcasting installed outside the bathroom television via the channel selection instruction signal sending means 7 and the PPM modulated infrared light emitting means 8. It is communicated to the tuner 5. Since a commercially available digital broadcast tuner is usually equipped with a light receiving portion of an infrared remote controller, a channel selection instruction from the channel selection switching means 4 can be easily transmitted to the digital broadcast tuner 5.

浴室テレビの選局指示信号送出手段７からの選局指示を受信する回路を備えた専用のデジタル放送用チューナーを必要とせず、市販のデジタル放送用チューナーを利用できる。   A dedicated digital broadcast tuner having a circuit for receiving a channel selection instruction from the channel selection instruction signal transmission means 7 of the bathroom television is not required, and a commercially available digital broadcast tuner can be used.

赤外線リモコンのチャンネル切換えのコードは、家製協フォーマットに従って各メーカーが決めているので、浴室テレビの選局指示信号送出手段７からの選局指示を赤外線リモコンのチャンネル切換えのコードに合った光信号に変換するのは容易である。   The channel switching code of the infrared remote control is determined by each manufacturer in accordance with the home-made cooperative format. Therefore, the channel selection instruction from the bathroom TV channel selection instruction signal sending means 7 is an optical signal that matches the channel switching code of the infrared remote control. It is easy to convert to

また、本実施の形態では、ＰＰＭ変調赤外線発光手段８を浴室用テレビの外部に取付けた形態にしているが、ＰＰＭ変調赤外線発光手段８を浴室用テレビの内部に取付けて、ＰＰＭ変調赤外線発光手段８からの光信号を光ファイバー等でデジタル放送用チューナーの赤外線リモコン受光部まで導く形態も実施可能である。   In this embodiment, the PPM modulated infrared light emitting means 8 is attached to the outside of the bathroom television. However, the PPM modulated infrared light emitting means 8 is attached to the inside of the bathroom television, and the PPM modulated infrared light emitting means is attached. It is also possible to implement a mode in which the optical signal from 8 is guided to the infrared remote control light receiving unit of the digital broadcasting tuner by an optical fiber or the like.

以上のように、本発明にかかる浴室テレビ等の制御装置は、アナログ放送からデジタル放送への切換えの際に、操作性を損なうことなく、かつ容易にデジタル放送用チューナーを接続することができるので、テレビを内蔵した給湯機用リモコン等の用途にも適用できる。   As described above, a control device such as a bathroom television according to the present invention can easily connect a digital broadcasting tuner without losing operability when switching from analog broadcasting to digital broadcasting. It can also be applied to applications such as a remote controller for a water heater with a built-in television.
