Description

本発明は、リモコンにより運転状態を遠隔操作され、リモコンと双方向通信する機器（例えば空気調和機）に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a device (for example, an air conditioner) that is remotely operated by a remote controller and performs bidirectional communication with the remote controller.

リモコンにより運転状態を遠隔操作される機器のひとつとして、空気調和機がある。一般的に、空気調和機がリモコンから送信される運転状態変更信号などの信号を受信した際には、ブザーによる音（以下受信音とする）を鳴らして受信したことを報知する。また、この受信音が煩いと思うユーザーのために、受信音を鳴らさない設定にできるものがある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   One of the devices whose operation state is remotely controlled by a remote controller is an air conditioner. In general, when an air conditioner receives a signal such as an operation state change signal transmitted from a remote controller, a sound by a buzzer (hereinafter referred to as a received sound) is sounded to notify the reception. In addition, for users who feel that the received sound is troublesome, there is one that can be set not to sound the received sound (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

図３は空気調和機がリモコンから送信された信号を受信したことを音で報知する処理を示すフローチャートである。図３に示すように、空気調和機がリモコンからの送信信号を受信したかどうか判断（Ｓ１１）し、受信音を鳴らす設定であれば、受信音を鳴らし（Ｓ１３）リモコンからの送信信号を受信したことを報知するが、受信音を鳴らさない設定であれば、受信音を鳴らさない。   FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a process for notifying the sound that the air conditioner has received the signal transmitted from the remote controller. As shown in FIG. 3, it is determined whether or not the air conditioner has received a transmission signal from the remote control (S11), and if it is set to sound the reception sound, the reception sound is sounded (S13) and the transmission signal from the remote control is received. However, if the setting is made so that the reception sound does not sound, the reception sound is not sounded.

しかしながら、上記従来の技術では受信音が煩いと思うユーザーのニーズは満足することはできるが、受信音が小さくて聞こないので空気調和機がリモコンからの信号を受信したかどうかわからないというユーザーの不満を解消することはできない。また、受信音量の大小を調整可能にする手段をとれば、受信音を鳴らすブザーの性能に関わるためコストアップとなる。   However, although the above-mentioned conventional technology can satisfy the user's needs that the received sound is troublesome, the user's complaint that the air conditioner has not received the signal from the remote control because the received sound is low and cannot be heard. Cannot be resolved. Further, if a means for adjusting the volume of the received sound volume is taken, the cost increases because it relates to the performance of the buzzer that sounds the received sound.

本発明は上記課題を解決するもので、機器本体がリモコンからの送信信号を受信した時、ユーザーに信号を受信したことを、受信音を鳴らすことなく安価、確実に報知することを目的とする   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-described problem, and aims to inform a user that a signal has been received at a low cost and without sounding a reception sound when the device body receives a transmission signal from a remote controller.

前記従来の課題を解決するために本発明は、機器本体がリモコンからの送信信号を受信した時、リモコンへ受信完了信号を送信し、機器本体からの受信完了信号を受信したリモコンは受信完了表示を行う。これにより機器本体がリモコンからの信号を受信したかどうかは手元のリモコン表示を見ることにより確認可能となる。   In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, the present invention is directed to a remote control that transmits a reception completion signal to a remote control when the device main body receives a transmission signal from the remote control, and the remote control that has received the reception completion signal from the device main body displays a reception completion display. I do. This makes it possible to confirm whether or not the device body has received a signal from the remote control by looking at the remote control display at hand.

本発明によれば、機器本体がリモコンからの送信信号を受信した時は、リモコンへ受信完了信号を送信し、機器本体からの受信完了信号を受信したリモコンは受信完了表示を行うので、機器本体がリモコンからの送信信号を受信したかどうか手元のリモコン表示を見ることにより確認可能となる。これにより、機器本体がリモコンからの送信信号を受信したかどうかを判断するための受信音が小さくて聞こえず受信したかどうかわからないというユーザーの不満を解消することができる。 According to the present invention, when the device main body receives a transmission signal from the remote controller, the remote controller transmits a reception completion signal to the remote controller, and the remote controller that has received the reception completion signal from the device main body displays a reception completion signal. It can be confirmed by seeing the remote control display at hand whether the transmission signal from the remote control has been received. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the user's dissatisfaction that the received sound for determining whether or not the device main body has received the transmission signal from the remote controller is too low to hear or to receive.
