It is configured so that it can be detected on the ground and the opening / closing device, which is the device to be operated, can be remotely controlled via the Internet.
However, when the opening / closing device is stopped in the half-open state or the half-closed state, it is necessary to wirelessly execute the same operation for the plurality of opening / closing devices, and the operation signals are sequentially sent to the plurality of opening / closing devices. It is output and operated. It takes about 3 seconds for transmission and reception per switch device. There is no problem only by transmitting an open signal or a close signal for the operation signal to be fully opened or fully closed, but in order to stop the operation signal in the middle, a stop signal is transmitted after a predetermined time has passed after the open signal is transmitted to the half-open state or. It is stopped halfway in a half-closed state. In this case, if the number of opening / closing devices that are operated all at once is large, it is necessary to transmit a stop signal to the opening / closing device that is operated first while issuing an open signal to each opening / closing device. Therefore, the control becomes very complicated, and there is a possibility that the processing may be hindered.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and is an opening / closing control system and an opening / closing control system capable of easily performing a halfway stop operation when a plurality of opening / closing body devices are centrally controlled by using a centralized communication device.

In 001 and the remote control operation switch 42, IDs and DIP switch status signals are stored in association with each other, such as id42⇔id43 and id42⇔010.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of a process of setting a remote controller ID in the transmission / reception master unit in the open / close control system of FIG. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of the process of FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, when the remote control ID setting process for the remote control operation switches 12, 22, 32, 42 and the transmitter / receiver handsets 13, 23, 33, 43 is completed, each remote control operation is performed as shown in FIG. The remote control IDs of the switches 12, 22, 32, and 42 are set in the transmission / reception master unit 50.

In step S61, each remote control operation switch 12, 22, 32, 42 has its own ID (id12, id22, id32, id42) via the communication lines 12a, 22a, 32a, 42a, and the corresponding transmitter / receiver 13 , 23, 33, 43 IDs (id13, id23, id33, id43) and DIP switch status signals (000,001,010,011) are transmitted to the transmission / reception master unit 50.

In step S62, the transmission / reception master unit 50 receives IDs (id12, id22, id32, id42) of the remote control operation switches 12, 22, 32, 42 received via the communication lines 12b, 22b, 32b, 42b, and the transmission / reception slave unit. The IDs (id13, id23, id33, id43) of 13, 23, 33, 43 and the DIP switch status signal (000,001,010,011) are registered.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the same ID group and DIP switch status signal registered in each remote control operation switch 12, 22, 32, 42 are registered in the transmission / reception master unit 50.

In step S63, the transmission / reception master unit 50 uses the IDs (id12, id22, id32, id42) of the remote control operation switches 12, 22, 32, 42 and the transmission / reception slave unit 13 via the communication lines 13b, 23b, 33b, 43b. , 23, 33, 43 IDs (id13, id23, id33, id43) at least one of the IDs is transmitted.
As a result, in steps S64 and S65, between the transmission / reception slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 corresponding to the reception ID and the transmission ID in the transmission / reception slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 and the transmission / reception master unit 50. A bidirectional communication state is established via any one of the communication lines 13c, 23c, 33c, and 43c.

In the above-described embodiment, the remote control operation switches 12, 22, 32, 42 are the IDs (id13, id23, id33, id43) of the transmitter / receiver units 13, 23, 33, 43 and the DIP switch status signals (000,001). , 010, 011) has been described, but if the remote control operation switches 12, 22, 32, 42 do not have the function to register these IDs, etc., the remote control operation switches 12, 22, 32, This can be achieved by using the 42 IDs (id12, id22, id32, id42) as the key of the system for establishing the bidirectional communication state.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of a mobile communication terminal. In FIG. 8, the mobile communication terminal 701 is an example of a screen showing an initial state in which the application of the remote controller for opening / closing control is activated. On the initial state screen of the mobile communication terminal 701, selection buttons such as "individual shutter", "all shutters", "shutter in a building", and "garage shutter" are displayed. The "individual shutter" selection button is selected when the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4 shown in FIG. 1 are individually controlled. The "all shutter" selection button is selected when the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4 shown in FIG. 1 are controlled at the same time. The "in-building shutter" selection button is selected when simultaneously controlling the window shutter devices 2 to 4 installed in the building among those shown in FIG. The "garage shutter" selection button is selected when controlling only the garage shutter device 1 shown in FIG.

In FIG. 8, the mobile communication terminal 702 shows an example of a screen when the selection button of the “individual shutter” of the mobile communication terminal 701 on which the initial state screen is displayed is operated. For the mobile communication terminal 702, "garage shutter", "first-floor window shutter", "second-floor window shutter A", "second-floor window shutter B" and the like are selected as the device names that can be opened and closed as shown in FIG. A button is displayed. The "garage shutter" selection button corresponds to the garage shutter device 1 shown in FIG. The selection button of the "first floor window shutter" corresponds to the window shutter device 2 shown in FIG. The selection button of the "second floor window shutter A" corresponds to the window shutter device 3 shown in FIG. The selection button of the "second floor window shutter B" corresponds to the window shutter device 4 shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, these correspondences can be set in the transmission / reception master unit 50 when bidirectional communication between the transmission / reception slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 and the transmission / reception master unit 50 is established. The system is configured so that the set contents are displayed on the mobile communication terminal 70. Therefore, in the case of "second floor window shutter A" and "second floor window shutter B", either of the second floor window shutter devices 3 and 4 may not be clear, so at the stage of setting to the transmission / reception master unit 50, The names may be assigned in an easy-to-understand manner, such as "2nd floor XX room window shutter" and "2nd floor △△ room window shutter". Since the name assigned to the transmission / reception master unit 50 is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 70 via the access point 60 in this way, it is not necessary to separately register the mobile communication terminal 70 in the transmission / reception master unit 50, and the access point By simply connecting the mobile communication terminal 70 to the 60, the mobile communication terminal 70 can be used to appropriately control the opening / closing / stopping or intermediate stop operations of the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2-4.

In FIG. 8, the mobile communication terminal 703 shows an example of a screen when the selection button of the “garage shutter” of the device name that can be opened / closed and opened / closed displayed on the mobile communication terminal 702 is operated. The device name "garage shutter", which is currently controlled, is displayed at the upper part of the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 703, and each operation button for opening / closing is displayed below the device name "garage shutter". In FIG. 8, the mobile communication terminal 704 shows an example of a screen when the selection button of the device name “second floor window shutter A” displayed on the mobile communication terminal 702 and whose opening / closing control is controllable is operated. At the top of the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 704, the device name "2nd floor window shutter A" currently being controlled is displayed, and below that, each operation button for opening / closing and a half-opening or half-closing half-stop button are displayed. , And an operation button for ventilation and lighting for adjusting the ventilation or lighting volume is displayed.

As described above, this ventilation lighting operation button is a slit type in which the DIP switch status signal indicating the shutter type of the second floor window shutter A is "001", so it is displayed to adjust the lighting amount correspondingly. It is a slit type shutter-specific operation button. Similarly, in the case of the blind type in which the DIP switch status signal indicating the type of the shutter is "010", the operation button of "ventilation lighting" for adjusting the ventilation volume is displayed like the mobile communication terminal 704. Will be. Therefore, when the DIP switch status signal indicating the type of shutter is the standard type of "000", the operation button of this "ventilation lighting" is not displayed, and the opening / closing stop or the stop in the middle like the mobile communication terminal 703. Only each operation button of will be displayed. Even in the case of the standard type, the operation button of "ventilation lighting" may be displayed.

As described above, selection of the device name "garage shutter", "first floor window shutter", "second floor window shutter A", or "second floor window shutter B" displayed on the mobile communication terminal 702 can be opened and closed. When the button is operated, the name of each device is displayed at the upper part of the display screen as shown in the mobile communication terminals 703 and 704, and the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter are displayed using the display screen of the mobile communication terminals 703 and 704. It becomes possible to control each operation of opening / closing, halfway stop, ventilation volume or light collection amount of any of the devices 2 to 4. In FIG. 8, in the garage shutter device 1, the operation button for stopping halfway and the operation button for ventilation and lighting are hidden, but they may be displayed.

When the "all shutters" selection button is operated on the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 701, the characters "all shutters" are displayed at the upper part of the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 703, and all are displayed using the mobile communication terminal 703. It will be possible to control the opening and closing of the shutters all at once (simultaneously). In the case of all shutters, only the open operation and the close operation are performed, and the stop operation button cannot be operated. This is because the time required for the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing device is different, and it is difficult for the operator to determine at what stage the stop operation is performed when the stop operation is performed. Therefore, in this embodiment, all shutters are used. It is not possible to operate the stop operation. Of course, it goes without saying that all shutters or some shutters may be configured to be able to stop. It should be noted that it may be possible to set the open state or the closed state by half or about one-third of the fully open or fully closed state.

When the "shutter in the building" selection button is operated on the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 701, the "first floor window shutter" and "second floor window" in the building are named as the device names that can be opened and closed as shown in FIG. The display screen of the mobile communication terminal 703 or 704 capable of operating "shutter A" and "second floor window shutter B" is displayed, and each operation of opening / closing or halfway stop of each window shutter or ventilation volume or light collection amount is controlled. You will be able to. Note that, in FIG. 1, the remote control operation switches 32 and 42 show a wireless operator dedicated to the shutter device having only the open / close stop button, but the open / close stop as in the mobile communication terminal 704 of FIG. In addition to the operation buttons, an operation button capable of controlling each operation of stop and / or ventilation volume or daylight volume may be provided.

When the selection button for the garage shutter is operated on the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 701, the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 703 is displayed. Therefore, the mobile communication terminal 703 is used as it is to open / close the garage shutter device 1. You will be able to control each operation of.

In the open / close control system shown in FIG. 1, each of the open / close stops of the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4 is performed by using the mobile communication terminal 70 other than the remote control operation switches 12, 22, 32, 42 dedicated to the open / close device. The operation can be controlled as appropriate. Further, since the transmission / reception master unit 50 and the mobile communication terminal 70 are connected via the access point 60, only the mobile communication terminal 70 certified by WEP (WPA, WPA2 may be used) becomes the transmission / reception master unit 50. Since it is connected, high security can be built.

In FIGS. 9 and 10, the communication lines 3a and 3b indicate transmission from the transmission / reception slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 to the transmission / reception master unit 50, and the communication lines 5b and 5c are transmission / reception from the transmission / reception master unit 50, respectively. The transmission to the slave units 13, 23, 33, and 43 is shown. In FIGS. 10 and 11, the communication lines 5a and 5d indicate transmission from the transmission / reception master unit 50 to the mobile communication terminal 70, and the communication lines 7a and 7b indicate transmission from the mobile communication terminal 70 to the transmission / reception master unit 50. ..

In FIG. 9, the remote control operation switches 12, 22, 32, 42 are switched to open / close or “ventilation lighting” at the transmitter / receiver units 13, 23, 33, 43 via the corresponding communication lines 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, respectively. The operation signal corresponding to the operation button of is transmitted. The transmitter / receiver 13, 23, 33, 43 that received the operation signal via the communication lines 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a confirm the IDs (id12, id22, id32, id42) included in the received operation signal. If they match, the process corresponding to the operation signal is executed.

Next, the transmission / reception processing executed by the transmission / reception slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 based on the operation signals from the transmission / reception master unit 50 and the remote control operation switches 12, 22, 32, 42 will be described.
In step S91, when the transmission / reception slave units 13, 23, 33, and 43 change the state of the open / close body (open / close stop or halfway stop and ventilation lighting amount), which is the control target, the communication line 3a uses that state as a state signal. Is transmitted to the transmission / reception master unit 50 via.
In step S92, it is determined whether or not the IDs included in the operation signals match, and if they match (yes), the process proceeds to step S93, and if they do not match (no), the process returns. The operation signal in step S92 is the operation signal from the remote control operation switches 12, 22, 32, 42 received by the transmission / reception slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 via the communication lines 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, and transmission / reception. The slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 include both the operation signal from the transmission / reception master unit 50 received via the communication lines 5b, 5c.

In step S93, the open / close control circuits 11,21,31,41 having the same ID included in the received operation signal execute each operation of open / close stop, halfway stop, or ventilation lighting corresponding to the operation signal. This ID includes an individual ID and a common ID, and the individual ID is assigned to each of the opening / closing bodies to be controlled, and the common ID is included in the operation signal from the transmission / reception master unit 50. It is assigned to all shutters in common. Therefore, when the transmission / reception slave units 13, 23, 33, and 43 receive the operation signal including the common ID, all the open / close control circuits 11,21,31,41 process the open / close operation corresponding to the operation signal. To execute. When all the shutters are operated all at once (simultaneously) without providing a common ID, operation signals including each individual ID may be transmitted from the transmitter / receiver for the number of shutters.

In step S94, it is determined whether or not the processing of each operation of opening / closing stop, halfway stop, or ventilation lighting is completed. If the process is completed (yes), the process proceeds to step S95, and if not (no), the step It returns to S93 and continues the processing corresponding to the operation signal.
In step S95, it is determined whether or not the received operation signal is from the remote control operation switches 12, 22, 32, 42 via the communication lines 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, and the remote control operation switches 12, 22, In the case of the operation signal (yes) from 32 and 42, the process returns immediately, and in the case of the operation signal (no) from the transmission / reception master unit 50, the process proceeds to step S96.
In step S96, each open / close control circuit 11, 21, 31, 41 sends an operation end signal indicating that the processing corresponding to the operation signal is completed via the transmission / reception slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 and the communication line 3b. Transmission to the transmission / reception master unit 50.

In FIG. 10, the transmission / reception master unit 50 receives a status signal transmitted from the transmission / reception slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 via the communication line 3a and an operation end signal via the communication line 3b, respectively. Further, the transmission / reception master unit 50 receives the access signal transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 70 via the communication line 7a, and the operation instruction signal regarding all / individual shutters via the communication line 7b.
In step S101, the states of the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4 are recorded based on the state signals received from the transmitter / receiver units 13, 23, 33, and 43 via the communication line 3a.
In step S102, the state of all shutters such as the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4 recorded in the process of step S101 is related to the access signal received from the mobile communication terminal 70 via the communication line 7a. The status signal is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 70 via the communication line 5a.

In step S103, whether or not the operation instruction signal is received from the mobile communication terminal 70 via the communication line 7b, if not received (no), returns immediately, and if received (yes), the received operation. It is determined whether the instruction signal is related to all shutters or individual shutters, and if it is related to individual shutters, the process proceeds to step S104, and if it is related to all shutters, the process proceeds to step S105.

In step S104, operation signals relating to individual shutters are transmitted to the transmitter / receiver handsets 13, 23, 33, 43 via the communication line 5b. Since the operation signal related to the individual shutter transmitted via the communication line 5b includes the above-mentioned individual ID, the transmitter / receiver handsets 13, 23, 33, 43 (garage shutter device 1 and window shutter) corresponding to this individual ID are included. The devices 2 to 4) execute the process corresponding to the operation signal in step S93.

In step S105, operation signals related to all shutters are transmitted to the transmission / reception slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 via the communication line 5c. If the operation signals related to all shutters transmitted via the communication line 5c are configured to include the above-mentioned common ID, all the transmitter / receiver handsets 13, 23, 33, 43 that have received the common IDs. (Garage shutter device 1 and window shutter devices 2 to 4) execute the process corresponding to the operation signal in step S93.

In step S106, it is determined whether or not the operation end signal has been received from the transmission / reception slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 via the communication line 3b, and if it has been received (yes), the process proceeds to step S107 and the signal has not been received. In the case of (no), this determination process is repeated until the operation end signal is received.
In step S107, the transmission / reception master unit 50 transmits an operation end signal indicating that the processing corresponding to the operation signal has been completed to the mobile communication terminal 70 via the communication line 5d.

In FIG. 11, the mobile communication terminal 70 receives the status signal transmitted from the transmission / reception master unit 50 via the communication line 5a and the operation end signal via the communication line 5d. Further, the mobile communication terminal 70 transmits an access signal to the transmission / reception master unit 50 via the communication line 7a in response to the activation of the application software that functions as the remote control operation switch for the opening / closing body.
In step S111, the states of opening / closing, halfway stop, and ventilation lighting of the controllable garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4 based on the state signal received from the transmission / reception master unit 50 via the communication line 5a. Is displayed on the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 70.
In step S112, operation instruction signals for all shutters such as the garage shutter device 1 and window shutter devices 2 to 4 or operation instruction signals for individual shutters are transmitted to the transmission / reception master unit 50 via the communication line 7b.
In step S113, it is determined whether or not the operation end signal has been received from the transmission / reception master unit 50 via the communication line 5d. If it has been received (yes), the process proceeds to step S114, and if it has not been received (no), the operation is performed. This determination process is repeated until the end signal is received.
In step S114, each state of opening / closing / stopping, halfway stopping, and ventilation lighting of the shutter instructed to operate is displayed on the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 70 and returned.

Conventionally, when the window shutter device is stopped (half-opened or half-closed) in the middle, it is necessary to wirelessly execute the same operation for a plurality of window shutter devices, and the operation signals are sequentially sent to the plurality of window shutter devices. It is output and operated. It takes about 3 seconds for transmission and reception per window shutter device. There is no problem if the operation signal is an open signal or a closed signal for fully opening or fully closing, but in the case of a halfway stop control signal for halfway stop operation, a stop signal is transmitted when a predetermined time elapses after the open or close signal is transmitted. By doing so, it is stopped at the halfway stop (half open or half closed) position. In this case, if the number of window shutter devices operated all at once is large, it is necessary to transmit a stop signal to the window shutter device operated first while the open signal is being output to each window shutter device. Therefore, the control becomes very complicated and the processing is hindered. Therefore, in this embodiment, the time to start the stop operation from the transmission / reception master unit 50 to the transmission / reception slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 (garage shutter device 1 and window shutter devices 2 to 4) together with an open signal or a close signal. The signal indicating the above is transmitted. That is, an intermediate stop operation signal for causing a stop (half-open or half-closed) operation after a predetermined time has elapsed after starting the open operation or the closing operation is transmitted. As a result, the system for stopping the window shutter device or the like in the middle can be simplified, and the control program can also be simplified.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of operation signal correspondence processing corresponding to each operation of opening / closing stop, halfway stop, and ventilation lighting in step S93 of FIG. That is, FIG. 12 describes the operation signal correspondence process executed by the transmission / reception handset 13, 23, 33, 43 that has received the operation signal corresponding to each operation of opening / closing stop or halfway stop.
In step S121, it is determined whether or not the stop signal is received, and if the stop signal is received (yes), the process proceeds to the next step S122, and if it is other than the stop signal (no), the process proceeds to step S124.
In step S122, it is determined whether the current shutter curtain operation is opening / closing operation or not (stopping). If the shutter curtain operation is opening / closing (yes), the process proceeds to the next step S123, and if the shutter curtain is stopped (no). Returns to step S121.

Further, when the closing signal is received after the shutter curtain is fully opened, the closing operation may be started immediately, or the closing signal may be received until a predetermined time (optionally set) after the shutter curtain is fully opened. You may ignore it. Further, the fact that the closing signal has been received may be stored so that the reception of the closing signal is reflected after a predetermined time has elapsed after the completion of full opening. Further, when such an operation signal is generated by the dedicated remote control operation switch 12, the instruction by the operation signal may be executed as it is. This is because when a signal is received from the dedicated remote control operation switch 12, the operator is resident on the spot, and it is often appropriate to prioritize the operation of the operator.

When a closing signal is received during the above-mentioned opening operation, the reception of the closing signal is ignored and the opening operation is prioritized, that is, the movement during the opening operation of the shutter curtain is regarded as a forward movement, and the closing operation is performed. The case where the movement in the inside is the reverse movement has been described, but the opposite case is also possible. That is, the movement of the shutter curtain during the closing operation is defined as the forward movement, the movement during the opening operation is defined as the reverse movement, and when the opening signal is received during the closing operation, the reception of the opening signal is ignored. The closing operation may be prioritized.
It may be decided in advance whether to execute the control that gives priority to the open operation by ignoring the reception of the closed signal, or to execute the reverse control, or which control is executed by other means. For example, a switch for switching priority control may be provided in the DIP switch setting unit 81 of the transmitter / receiver units 13, 23, 33, and 43 so that the designation can be changed as appropriate.
