Description

  The present invention relates to a remote control transmitter mainly used for remote control of various electronic devices.

  In recent years, as various electronic devices such as video and audio devices have become more sophisticated, remote control transmitters that remotely operate these devices are required to be capable of various operations.

  Such a conventional remote control transmitter will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a conventional remote control transmitter. In FIG. 3, 1 is a substantially box-shaped case made of an insulating resin, and a plurality of operation keys 2A, 2B, etc. are provided in an opening hole on the upper surface of the case 1. The operation means 2 is formed by arranging them so as to protrude vertically.

  A wiring board (not shown) having a plurality of wiring patterns formed on the upper and lower surfaces is accommodated in the case 1 and a plurality of operation keys 2A and 2B are provided on the upper surface of the wiring board below the operating means 2. A plurality of switch contacts 3 that are electrically connected and separated by vertical movement are formed.

  The wiring board is formed with a transmission means 4 by a light emitting diode or the like and a control means 5 by a microcomputer or the like, and the switch contact 3 or the transmission means 4 is connected to the control means 5 through a wiring pattern. A remote control transmitter is configured.

  In the above configuration, when the operation key 2A for fast-forwarding, for example, is pressed toward a device that operates the remote control transmitter, for example, a video, the lower switch contact 3 is electrically connected / disconnected. In response to the release, the control means 5 transmits an infrared fast-forwarding remote control signal from the transmission means 4 to the video, and for example, fast-forwarding of a disk or tape is performed.

  If fast-forwarding is continued and the finger is released from the operation key 2A at a position where playback is desired, transmission of the remote-control signal for fast-forwarding stops. Next, when the playback operation key 2B is pressed, the lower switch contact 3 The control means 5 detects the electrical contact / separation of the above, and a remote control signal for reproduction is transmitted from the transmission means 4 to reproduce a video disk or tape.

  In other words, the control means 5 detects the electrical contact / separation of the switch contact 3 due to the pressing operation of the plurality of operation keys 2A and 2B, and transmits a remote control signal corresponding thereto from the transmission means 4, thereby fast-forwarding the disk or tape. It was configured to be able to remotely control devices such as playback and playback from a remote location.

As prior art document information related to the invention of this application, for example, Patent Document 1 is known.

  However, in the above-mentioned conventional remote control transmitter, when fast-forwarding or rewinding a disk or tape, it is difficult to stop the operation by releasing your finger from the operation key at the desired location. Since it is necessary to repeat rewinding and fast-forwarding operations again after stopping the operation, there is a problem that the operation is complicated and troublesome.

  The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a remote control transmitter that can easily perform various operations with simple operations.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a remote control signal corresponding to an adjacent operation key when a control means operates a predetermined operation key continuously and an adjacent operation key is operated. The remote control traffic light is configured to transmit, for example, when the operation key for fast-forwarding is continuously operated and another operation key adjacent thereto is operated, for example, frame advance corresponding to this Remote control signal for the remote control makes it easy to stop and play at the desired location when fast-forwarding or rewinding a disc or tape, so it is easy to operate and can be used in a variety of ways The transmitter can be obtained.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain an advantageous effect that a remote control transmitter that can easily perform various operations can be realized with a simple operation.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

  In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part of the structure same as the structure demonstrated in the term of background art, and detailed description is simplified.

(Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a block circuit diagram of a remote control transmitter according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof, and in FIG. 1, 1 is a substantially box-shaped case made of an insulating resin such as polystyrene or ABS, A plurality of operation keys 2A and 2B such as insulating resin and rubber are arranged in the opening hole on the upper surface of the case 1, and the operation means 2 is formed by protruding these so as to be movable up and down.

  In the vicinity of the operation key 2B for reproduction on the upper surface of the case 1 and the operation key 2C for recording, functions different from the original operation functions of the operation keys 2B and 2C, such as “frame advance” and “four times”, etc. Is displayed.

  A wiring board (not shown) having a plurality of wiring patterns formed on the upper and lower surfaces thereof by copper foil or the like is accommodated in the case 1, and a plurality of operation keys are provided on the upper surface of the wiring board below the operating means 2. A plurality of switch contacts 3 that are electrically connected and separated by the vertical movement of 2A and 2B are formed.

  Further, the wiring board is formed with a transmission means 4 by a light emitting diode or the like, and a control means 15 by a microcomputer or the like, and the switch contact 3 or the transmission means 4 is connected to the control means 15 via a wiring pattern. A remote control transmitter is configured.

  In the above configuration, when the operation key 2A for fast-forwarding, for example, is pressed toward a device that operates the remote control transmitter, for example, a video, the lower switch contact 3 is electrically connected / disconnected. In response to the release, the control means 15 sends a remote control signal for fast-forwarding infrared rays from the transmission means 4 to the video, for example, fast-forwarding of a disk or tape.

  Then, the operation key 2A is continuously pressed and fast-forwarded by continuous operation. When a position to be reproduced or stopped approaches, when an operation key adjacent to the operation key 2A, for example, the operation key 2B is pressed, the switch contact below this 3 is detected by the control means 15 and a remote control signal for frame advance is transmitted from the transmission means 4 instead of a remote control signal for fast forward while the operation key 2B is pressed.

  Therefore, during this time, the disk or tape is not fast-forwarded but slowly frame-by-frame, so confirm the image to the desired location you want to play or stop while viewing the image on the display screen of the device, such as a liquid crystal display element. However, the feeding operation can be performed gently.

  In other words, for example, when the operation key 2A adjacent to the operation key 2B is pressed while the operation key 2A for fast-forwarding is continuously operated, the control means 15 detects the electrical contact / separation of these switch contacts 3. Thus, instead of the fast-forwarding remote control signal for the operation key 2A, a frame-feeding remote control signal for the operation key 2B is transmitted from the transmission means 4.

  When the finger is released from the operation keys 2A and 2B at a desired position to be reproduced or stopped, transmission of the remote control signal for frame advancement is stopped, and when the operation key 2B for reproduction is pressed next, the switch below this The control means 15 detects the electrical contact / separation of the contact 3, and a remote control signal for reproduction is transmitted from the transmission means 4, and a video disk or tape is reproduced from a desired location.

  That is, unlike the case where the operation keys 2A and 2B are pressed at the same time as described above, when only the operation key 2B is pressed, the control means 15 starts from the electrical contact / separation of the switch contact 3. This is detected and a remote control signal for reproduction, which is the original operation function of the operation key 2B, is transmitted.

  In the state where the operation key 2B is continuously operated and the operation key 2B is pressed and frame-advanced while the operation key 2A is continuously operated as described above, if the desired portion to be reproduced or stopped is still ahead, the operation key 2B When the finger is released, the control means 15 detects this and transmits a remote control signal for fast-forwarding of the operation key 2A that is continuously operated instead of the remote control signal for frame advance.

  That is, when the operation key 2B adjacent to the operation key 2B is pressed while the fast-forward operation key 2A is continuously operated, a remote control signal for frame advance of the operation key 2B is transmitted. When the operation of the key 2B is interrupted, the control means 15 detects this and transmits a remote control signal corresponding to the continuously operated operation key 2A, that is, a fast-forwarding remote control signal. Yes.

  Further, when the operation key 2A is continuously operated as described above and the disk or tape is fast-forwarded and the desired part is still far ahead, another operation key adjacent to the operation key 2A, For example, when the operation key 2C is pressed, the control means 15 detects the electrical contact / separation of the switch contact 3, and while the operation key 2C is being pressed, the speed of the operation key 2A is higher, for example, the operation key When 2A is at double speed, fast-forwarding is performed at quadruple speed of the operation key 2C.

  Therefore, while the operation keys 2A and 2C are pressed simultaneously, the disk or tape is fast-forwarded at a higher speed, and a desired portion to be reproduced or stopped can be selected in a shorter time. Yes.

  That is, when the operation key 2A is operated continuously and the operation key 2B or 2C adjacent to the operation key 2A is operated, the control means 15 causes the remote control signal corresponding to the adjacent operation key to be used for slow frame advancement. Remote control signals and remote control signals for fast-forwarding at a quadruple speed of a higher speed can be used to perform various operations such as frame advance and fast-forward with simple operations, It is configured so that reproduction can be easily performed in a short time.

  In addition, the operation key for performing such an operation is not a distant place, but is performed by a combination of adjacent operation keys such as the operation key 2B or 2C adjacent to the operation key 2A. The operation can be performed more easily without any erroneous operation.

  In the above description, the configuration is described in which the operation key 2B or 2C adjacent to the operation key 2B or 2C adjacent to the operation key 2A for fast-forwarding is continuously operated to perform frame-feeding or fast-forwarding. In addition, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a predetermined operation key is continuously operated to rewind the disk or tape, and an operation key adjacent thereto is operated to perform frame advance or faster rewind.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the control means 15 continuously operates a predetermined operation key and an adjacent operation key is operated, a remote control signal corresponding to the adjacent operation key is used. When, for example, the operation key 2A for fast-forwarding is continuously operated and another operation key 2B adjacent to the operation key 2A is operated, a remote control signal for frame advance, for example, is transmitted accordingly. As a result, when performing fast forward or rewind operation of a disk or tape, it becomes easy to stop and play at a desired location, so that a remote control transmitter capable of various operations can be obtained easily and easily. It is something that can be done.

  In the above description, the remote operation of video discs and tapes has been mainly described as an example. However, a remote control transmitter that remotely operates various electronic devices such as other video and audio devices such as CD players and music tapes. The present invention can also be implemented.

  The remote control transmitter according to the present invention is capable of various operations with simple operations, and is useful mainly for the operation of various electronic devices.
