Description

The present invention relates to a door device provided on a structure or a moving body.

Buildings such as buildings and dwellings, and vehicles such as railroads are provided with a large number of doors, and these doors are opened and closed manually or automatically. Since manual opening and closing is complicated for the user, automatic door devices that open and close automatically are often used. However, in automatic door devices, the presence of a person is detected by a sensor to open and close the door. Therefore, there is a problem that the door opens and closes regardless of the user's intention. Even if the user stands in front of the door, he may not want to open or close it. Therefore, it is necessary to open and close based on the user's intention. From the viewpoint of convenience, it can be said that a door that can be easily opened and closed by natural operation is desirable.

Also, for example, in the case of a conference room door, an important conference may be held on the other side of the door, so the door should be opened and closed in consideration of the presence of another user in the room. Is desirable. Furthermore, since the situation inside the room cannot be recognized from the outside, it is preferable to be able to convey appropriate information to the visitors.

As a technique for notifying the usage status of a room to the outside, a means for detecting the action of a person who tries to enter the room, a means for detecting the entry status of a previous occupant in the room, and a means for detecting the occupancy status of the previous occupant in the room are in use. A usage state communication device including a means for notifying the fact is known (see Patent Document 1). For example, this is to detect the act of knocking or turning the doorknob by a person trying to enter the room and the locked state of the door by the person entering the room, and notify the outside of the room entry state by voice or a message displayed on the display. According to this, it is possible to easily inform the outside of the usage status of the room.
However, for example, if a display such as a liquid crystal display is provided on the door, the device becomes large-scale, and there is a problem that visual noise occurs when the device is not used.
Further, in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that only a default message is displayed on the display, and appropriate information is not always transmitted to a person who visits in front of the door.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1-134594

In view of such a situation, the present invention can perform operations such as opening and closing by a natural operation, communication can be achieved between users inside and outside the door, and operations such as opening and closing can be performed in consideration of the user inside the door. It is an object of the present invention to provide a door device and a system that do not cause visual noise when not in use.

In order to solve the above problems, the operation display panel built-in door device of the present invention covers the entire front surface of the display panel and the display panel with a touch sensor built into the outer peripheral surface of the door body, and is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the door body. An input means for inputting an operation on the thin layer on the front surface of the display panel by a touch sensor, and a control signal for processing the input touch sensor signal and driving the door body in response to the signal is output. Provided with an output means.
As the display panel with a touch sensor, a touch panel such as a capacitance type, an electromagnetic induction type, or a resistive film type can be used. The input in the input means may be performed by touching or bringing a part of the body such as a fingertip into contact with or close to each other, or an input device such as a digital pen may be used. When the fingertips and the like are brought close to each other, it is preferable to bring them close to the surface of the touch panel within about 5 cm.

The thin layer is a thin layer consisting of naturally derived wood, natural fiber, natural leather or natural stone, or resin, synthetic fiber, synthetic leather or artificial stone, which is a material produced by imitating the appearance and texture of nature. It is preferable to have. A natural feel can be realized by using a naturally derived material or a material generated by imitating the appearance and feel of nature on the outer peripheral surface of the door body. In particular, when wood is used as a naturally derived material, it can be made to have a comfortable feel and a warm appearance, and when not in use, it can be made into a device with high design without being conscious of its existence. it can. When wood is used as a naturally derived material, sycamore wood having high light transmittance and good appearance is preferably used, but other woods may also be used.

In addition, although the thin layer is configured to cover the entire front surface of the panel, it is not necessary to cover the entire outer peripheral surface of the door body. And a metal panel can be incorporated.
The size of the display panel with a touch sensor built into the outer peripheral surface of the door body is not particularly limited as long as it is within the size range of the door body, and various sizes can be applied according to the application and cost. The structure of the door body includes not only sliding doors and hinged doors but also folding doors and rotating doors.

In the operation display panel built-in door device of the present invention, the output means uses the touch sensor signal as an operation signal for signal processing by any of contact at a predetermined place with the thin layer surface on the front surface of the display panel, predetermined drawing, and predetermined operation. It is preferable to do so.
Here, the predetermined drawing includes not only the drawing contents such as characters, symbols, and figures, but also the drawing trajectory, which enables more detailed operation settings. Further, examples of the predetermined operation include performing a slide input operation in a state of being in contact with a predetermined place, a specific action, a gesture, and the like. As a result, it is possible to perform operations such as opening and closing the door by a natural operation using a fingertip or the like. The slide input operation includes not only up / down and left / right but also diagonal directions.

In the operation display panel built-in door device of the present invention, the signal processing preferably processes the signal of the touch sensor as an operation signal of at least one of opening / closing, locking, and unlocking the door body.

In the operation display panel built-in door device of the present invention, when a predetermined operation slides in either the left or right direction on the thin layer surface on the front surface of the display panel, the door is moved from the starting point of the operation after the operation. It is also possible to output a control signal for making the state fully open or fully closed toward the end point. As a result, it is possible to easily open and close the door by a natural operation using a fingertip or the like, which is a slide input operation in the left-right direction.

In the operation display panel built-in door device of the present invention, it is preferable that the output means is provided with a speed detecting means for detecting the operating speed of a predetermined operation and outputs a control signal of the door opening / closing speed according to the operating speed. ..
By providing the speed detecting means, for example, when the slide input operation is a slide input operation at a speed exceeding a predetermined speed in either the left or right direction, the door is moved from the start point to the end point of the operation after the operation. It is arranged so as to be in contact with the front surface of the display panel with a touch sensor when the slide input operation is performed at a speed within a predetermined range in either the left or right direction when the slide input operation is fully opened or fully closed in the direction. The door body can be opened and closed following the movement of a part of the body or the input portion of the input device in contact with or close to the thin layer.

In this way, by changing the operation content depending on the speed at which the slide input operation is performed, it is possible to easily perform the operation according to the user's intention. For example, in the case of a sliding door that opens from left to right, by touching the surface of the door body with your fingertip and quickly sliding it from left to right, it automatically opens at a constant speed like a known automatic door device. It can be operated as follows. Also, by placing your fingertip on the surface of the door body and slowly sliding it from left to right, you can slowly open the door as if you were holding the door handle and opening it.
Following the movement of a part of the body or the input part of the input device means that the movement of the fingertip or the like is detected in real time by the input means so that the position where the fingertip or the like touches the surface of the door body does not change. It means that the movement of the door by the control means is controlled by the control means. When detecting the movement of the fingertip or the like in the input means, the tracking may be started after waiting for the completion of the detection of the position or the moving speed of the fingertip or the like.

Also, when opening a large door, it is necessary to slide the width beyond the stroke of the arm, and in order to open and close more easily, the ratio of the movement amount of the door to the movement amount of the fingertip, The configuration may be such that the threshold value for acceleration can be set.

In the operation display panel built-in door device of the present invention, the output means is a control signal for locking or unlocking the door when a predetermined operation slides on a thin layer surface on the front surface of the display panel in a predetermined linear direction. May be output. For example, the user can intuitively operate the slide input operation by setting such as unlocking the slide input operation from the bottom to the top and locking the slide input operation from the top to the bottom.

In the operation display panel built-in door device of the present invention, the input means is the contact pressure, contact area, contact time, or non-contact with respect to the thin layer surface on the front surface of the display panel, and is close to the detected object within a predetermined distance from the thin layer surface. Further, a detection means for detecting at least one of the presence or absence may be provided. As the detection means, a known pressure sensor, a piezo microphone, or the like can be used.

In the operation display panel built-in door device of the present invention, the output means determines a knock operation based on at least one of a predetermined number of times or a predetermined rhythm on the thin layer surface on the front surface of the display panel, and determines a door drive signal or display. The display signal of the panel may be output.
In general, a visitor often knocks on the door as a signal to someone in the room. Therefore, by enabling operations such as opening and closing by knocking, it is possible to perform operations such as opening and closing by a natural operation. By telling the visitor in front of the door the number of knocks in advance, the visitor can unlock the door himself. The predetermined number of times may be different depending on the operation content, or may be set differently for each user in combination with the authentication means described later.
Further, since a naturally derived material or a material generated by imitating the appearance and texture of nature can be used for the outer peripheral surface of the door body, for example, when wood is used as the naturally derived material. When knocking, the sound of actually hitting the wood is generated, and the user can hear a more natural knocking sound.

In the operation display panel built-in door device of the present invention, the output means is further provided with means for recognizing the input character shape as character information, and a predetermined drawing on the thin layer surface on the front surface of the display panel is a character or a figure. In this case, the operation content may be determined based on at least one of the input character or figure shape and the locus.
By providing a means for recognizing the character shape as character information, it becomes easy to determine the operation content. In addition, it becomes easier to see as characters when displayed, and the amount of data to be stored can be reduced. This improves convenience when displaying the input contents again on the operation display panel, saving in the database of the management server, and sending a message or the like to a terminal such as a smartphone or a PC.

In the operation display panel built-in door device of the present invention, the output means may be further provided with an authentication means for performing user authentication based on the input character shape or graphic shape. The input character shape or graphic shape used for user authentication is a handwriting or its trajectory in a handwriting input operation, and by providing an authentication means, a device with higher security can be obtained. Here, the number of knock operations and the rhythm may be further used for user authentication.

In the operation display panel built-in door device of the present invention, the output means may be able to display a message from a user other than the user who made the input on the panel according to the input content in the input means. For example, if a user tries to open the door from the outside during an important meeting, a message indicating that the meeting is currently in progress is displayed on the panel to open the door. It is possible to inform the user of the situation in the room.
In addition, by not displaying a message while the door is not opened or closed, visual noise does not occur in normal times, and the inside situation is transmitted to the user outside the door as necessary. be able to. The message may be set by selecting one intended for a specific user and one intended for an unspecified number of users. It should be noted that the configuration may be such that the default message can be selected and displayed on condition that the door is locked.

The operation display panel built-in door device of the present invention preferably further includes means for communicating with an external device. As the communication means, for example, near field communication (NFC) or Bluetooth (registered trademark) can be used. Further, it may be provided with an external interface for wired communication.

FIG. 2 shows an external view of the operation display panel built-in door device of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the operation display panel built-in door device 10 is a sliding door composed of a door body 2 and a frame portion 3, and is attached to a wall portion 8 having a hole portion. Further, the door body 2 is provided with an operation display panel unit 1, and operations such as opening and closing can be performed by touching the touch panel 11. The operation display panel unit 1 is provided at a position slightly above the middle stage of the door body 2, but is not limited to such a position and can be designed according to a target user who uses the door. For example, when it is installed in an elementary school or a long-term care facility, it is more suitable than the case of the operation display panel built-in door device 10 of the first embodiment according to the height of the child and the position of the arm of the care recipient who uses a wheelchair. The operation display panel unit 1 may be arranged at a low position.
The door body 2 has a structure in which the door body 2 slides left and right to open and close as shown by the arrow 9a within the range where the frame portion 3 is provided. In the state shown in FIG. 2, the door main body 2 is in the closed state, and the door main body 2 is moved to the right to be in the open state.

Here, the structure of the operation display panel unit 1 will be described. FIG. 13 shows a configuration image diagram of the operation display panel unit. As shown in FIG. 13, the operation display panel unit 1 is composed of a veneer 12, a transparent base material 13, a touch panel sheet 14 as a transparent conductive sheet, a light guide 15, and an LED array 16 as a light emitting element array, respectively, in order from the top. It is laminated. The veneer 12 is located on the outer surface of the operation display panel unit 1, and the LED array 16 is configured to be located inside the unit. The veneer 12 is made of sycamore material, which has high light transmittance and good appearance.
A large number of LED light sources 17 are arranged two-dimensionally in the LED array 16. The light guide 15 guides the light emission direction of each LED light source 17 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate of the LED array 16, and is provided with the same number of guide holes 15a as the number of LED light sources 17.

In FIG. 10, for convenience of explanation, not all LED light sources are shown, but for example, the LED array 16 is composed of a total of 6400 LED light sources, 32 in the vertical direction and 200 in the horizontal direction. One LED light source is composed of a plane mount type LED. A point light source can be realized by the light of one LED light source, and this can be regarded as one dot, and one character or pattern can be expressed by 8 × 8 dots or 16 × 16 dots. The number of dots expressing one character or symbol is not particularly limited, and one character or symbol may be expressed by 10 × 10 dots or 32 × 32 dots. For example, in the case of the LED array 6 having 6400 LED light sources, it is possible to express a sentence of 22 characters × 3 lines. Here, as the LED light source, for example, an LED light source having a size of 2 mm × 2 mm and 700 to 1000 mcd (millicandela) is used. Note that, unlike the above configuration, for example, a configuration that covers the entire door surface may be used.
The light guide 15 plays a role of clearly visualizing characters and patterns composed of light emitted from the LED light source 17 through the veneer 12. That is, a large number of guide holes 15a are arranged according to the arrangement of the LED light sources 17 so that the guide holes 15a are arranged directly above each LED light source 17 when the light guides 15 are laminated on the LED array 16. It is provided.

Next, the structure of the operation display panel unit 1 after assembly will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the operation display panel unit. As shown in FIG. 14, in the operation display panel unit 1, the veneer 12, the transparent base material 13, the touch panel sheet 14, the light guide 15, and the LED array 16 are adhered to each other by the housing 18 in a state of being laminated in order from the top. ing. Of the light emitted from the LED light source 17 provided on the LED array 16, the obliquely emitted light (19b, 19c) is blocked by the light guide 15, and is a veneer as straight light like the light 19a. It will reach 12. The housing 18 is mainly made of ABS resin.
The veneer 12 and the transparent base material 13 or the transparent base material 13 and the touch panel sheet 14 are bonded together without providing a gap. In contrast, between the touch panel sheet 14 and the light guide 15, the gap G ₁ is provided. This is because the light guide 15 is provided with a guide hole 15a, and when the touch panel sheet 14 and the light guide 15 are adhered to each other, the stress varies when the touch panel is operated, which causes a malfunction. is there.

Further, even while the light guide 15 and the LED light source 17, the gap _{G 2} is provided. Since the number of the LED light source 17 provided in the LED array 16 and the guide holes 15a provided in the light guide 15 reaches several thousand, there is an arrangement error when the light guide 15 and the LED array 16 are laminated. It can occur. If the light guide 15 and the LED array 16 are adhered to each other in a state where an error occurs, the light emitted from the LED light source 17 does not pass through the guide hole 15a, and accurate display cannot be performed. Therefore by providing the gap G _2, it is possible to prevent deterioration in display quality due to the error in arrangement of the LED light source 17 and the guide hole 15a. Further, since the display quality is maintained even if there is some error, the manufacturing becomes easy.

FIG. 3 shows an opening / closing flow diagram of the operation display panel built-in door device of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, when opening and closing the door body 2 in the operation display panel built-in door device 10, first, an input operation is performed by sliding on the touch panel 11 with a fingertip or the like (step S01). When the slide input is started, the speed detecting means 46 provided in the input means 41 detects the speed of the fingertip or the like sliding on the touch panel 11 (step S01).
Here, when the slide input speed exceeds a predetermined speed (step S03), when the slide input operation is an opening operation of the door body 2, the door body 2 is fully opened and stopped. (Step S07). In such a case, after the stop, the fully closed state may be automatically performed after a lapse of a certain period of time, or the open state may be continued until the closing operation is performed again. On the other hand, when the slide input operation is a closing operation of the door main body 2, the door main body 2 is fully closed and stopped (step S07). In such a case, after the stop, the closed state will continue until the opening operation is performed again.

If the speed of the slide input does not exceed the predetermined speed (step S03), the door body 2 will move following the movement of the fingertip or the like (step S04). This point will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 4 shows an input explanatory view of the operation display panel built-in door device of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, here, the fingertip of the user 4 is brought into contact with the touch panel 11, and the door body 2 is slowly slid in the order of _{positions P 1} , P ₂ , and P _{3, which mean a spatial position.} The case of opening the door will be described as an example. When the fingertip of the user 4 comes into contact with the position _{on the touch panel 11 corresponding to the spatial position P 1} and the slide input is started toward the right, the speed detecting means 46 provided in the input means 41 touches the touch panel. The speed of the fingertips that slide on is detected.

As a result of speed detection by the speed detecting means 46, when it is determined that the speed of the sliding fingertip or the like does not exceed a predetermined speed, tracking of the movement of the fingertip or the like is started. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the speed detection is complete at the position P _2, following the fingertip sliding door body 2 also moves toward the position P ₃ from the position P _2. In practice, since the detection of the speed, which is performed in a very short time, the distance of position P ₁ and the position P ₂ is small, for the user 4, a door from the beginning that started the slide to the movement of such finger body 2 You can get the feeling that the door follows and moves.
In position _{P 3,} stop moving the user 4 slides (step S05), the door body 2 is also stopped to follow (step S06). It is possible for the user 4 not only to stop the movement of the hand but also to stop the movement of the door body 2 by moving the fingertip or the like away from the touch panel 11 (step S05) (step S06).
