Description

家電製品(機器)の遠隔操作に関して特に多種多様な機器に対応できるリモコン装置に関する。  The present invention relates to a remote control device that can deal with a wide variety of devices, particularly regarding remote control of home appliances (devices).

最近は多くの機器がリモコン化されておりテレビ、AV機器、照明、空調機器等ごとにまたメーカーごとに用意されているのでの多数のリモコン装置を保有する必要があり煩雑であるが1個のリモコン装置により多種多様の機器が制御出来れば煩雑さは解消出来る。  Recently, many devices have been made into remote controllers, and each television, AV device, lighting, air conditioner, etc. is prepared for each manufacturer, and it is necessary to have a large number of remote control devices. If various devices can be controlled by the remote control device, the complexity can be eliminated.

従来、汎用リモコン装置に関しては被制御機器から赤外線双方向通信により操作方法の情報を得て被制御機器をリモコン制御する方式が公開されているが被制御機器がこの方式に対応していることが前提となっており普及には困難が伴うと思われる(特許文献1)。  Conventionally, with regard to a general-purpose remote control device, a method for obtaining control method information from a controlled device by infrared two-way communication and controlling the controlled device by remote control has been disclosed. However, the controlled device is compatible with this method. It is assumed that it will be difficult to disseminate (Patent Document 1).

特許公開平10−271577Patent Publication 10-271577

ノートパソコンに赤外線送信器を外付けしてリモコン機能を持たせることで汎用性を持たせる事が考えられているが形状が大きく、操作にパソコン用キーボードを使うなど利便性に欠ける。  It is considered to have versatility by attaching an infrared transmitter to a laptop computer and having a remote control function, but it is large in shape and lacks convenience such as using a PC keyboard for operation.

同様にスマートホンやタブレット端末においても赤外線送信器を外付けしてリモコン機能を持たせることも考えられるが本来モバイル機能(持ち運び)を使用上の特徴としており機器の制御が必要な家庭内に常にあるとは考えられないし、その操作が不得手である人も少なくない。  Similarly, it is conceivable to attach an infrared transmitter externally to a smart phone or tablet terminal to provide a remote control function, but the mobile function (carrying) is inherently a feature of use, and it is always used in homes that require device control. There are not many people who are not good at the operation.

従来のリモコン装置は操作面に配置された操作ボタン(キー)を操作(押下)することによりその情報を制御部で処理して赤外線送信部を駆動してあらかじめ定めた信号を該当の機器に送信して制御すものである、そのためキーの設置数、表示、配置、大きさ、色等のキーデザインの変更等が困難でたとえばテレビとエアコンのように機能が違う機器の制御を1個のリモコン装置で併用するのは極めて難しい。  The conventional remote control device operates (presses) an operation button (key) arranged on the operation surface to process the information by the control unit, and drives the infrared transmission unit to transmit a predetermined signal to the corresponding device. Therefore, it is difficult to change the key design such as the number of keys installed, display, arrangement, size, color, etc., for example, control of equipment with different functions such as TV and air conditioner with one remote control It is extremely difficult to use with the device.

本考案は1個のリモコン装置を使って多種多様の機器を比較的簡単に制御することを可能にする物である。  The present invention makes it possible to control various devices relatively easily using a single remote control device.

本考案では表示および操作はタッチパネルで行い、パソコンと情報を送受するインターフェイスを追加することにより課題を解決するものである。  In the present invention, display and operation are performed on a touch panel, and the problem is solved by adding an interface for transmitting and receiving information to and from a personal computer.

本考案ではタッチパネルを有してソフトウェアキー(タッチパネルに表示してタッチすることによりキーの役割をさせるアプリケーション)による機器の選択画面を表示しタッチ操作により被制御機器の選択を行ってその機器に対応したリモコン用のキーデザインをタッチパネルに表示して画面タッチ等によりリモコン操作をすることで多数の機器に対応できるリモコン装置が可能となる、また同じ機器でもよく使う機能をまとめた簡易なキーデザインと複雑な操作を含むキーデザインのように複数のキーデザインに対応できる。  The present invention has a touch panel and displays a device selection screen using software keys (applications that display and touch the touch panel to play the role of keys), and selects the controlled device by touch operation to support that device. By displaying the key design for the remote control on the touch panel and operating the remote control by touching the screen, etc., a remote control device that can handle many devices is possible, and a simple key design that summarizes frequently used functions on the same device It can support multiple key designs like a key design involving complex operations.

インターネットに接続したパソコンをインターフェイスに接続して追加したい機器のリモコン制御情報を取得して新たな機器のリモコン操作を可能としたり、制御情報やリモコン装置自体の機能の更新やバグの修正が可能となり柔軟性、発展性が期待できる。  It is possible to connect a PC connected to the Internet to the interface to acquire remote control information of the device you want to add and enable remote control of new devices, update control information and functions of the remote control device itself, and fix bugs. Flexibility and expandability can be expected.

家電メーカーにとっては、1個のリモコン装置で多種多様な機器が制御できるのでユーザーが同じメーカーの機器を購入する契機とすることや家電製品を専業としないメーカーでも多くの家電メーカーに対応したリモコン装置としての製造、販売が期待できる。  For home appliance manufacturers, a single remote control device can control a wide variety of devices, so users can purchase equipment from the same manufacturer, and remote control devices compatible with many home appliance manufacturers even if they do not specialize in home appliances Production and sales can be expected.

構成要素であるタッチパネル、インターフェイス(事例としてUSBコネクター)は充分普及しており制御・記憶をつかさどるマイクロプロセッサー、メモリー等IC部品についてもリモコン用途としてはスマートホン、タブレット端末ほどの高機能、高速、高精細のものを必要としない、またソフトウェアキーを実現するプログラミング技術も広く普及しており容易にリモコン装置用としてリメイクできるのでユーザーが納得できる価格での製造が可能である。  Components such as touch panels and interfaces (USB connectors as examples) are sufficiently widespread, and microprocessors that control and store memory, IC components such as memory, etc. are highly functional, high-speed, and high as smart phones and tablet terminals for remote control applications. Programming techniques that do not require fine details and that realize software keys are widespread and can be easily remade for remote control devices, so that they can be manufactured at a price that the user can convince.

本考案の実施例の構成を示すブロック図である。It is a block diagram which shows the structure of the Example of this invention.

本考案の実施例の構成を示すブロック図に基づき説明する、なお電源(電池)は省略してある。  The power source (battery) is omitted based on the block diagram showing the configuration of the embodiment of the present invention.

図1は実施例の構成要素をブロックで示すブロック図であり、各要素間の制御・情報信号は5の相互接続部を経由して伝達される。  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing constituent elements of the embodiment in blocks, and control / information signals between the elements are transmitted via 5 interconnections.

1のタッチパネル上にソフトウェアキーとして表示された機器から狙いの被制御機器を選択してその情報を3の記憶・制御部が受信し処理して事前に記憶していた該当の被制御機器の操作に対応するキーデザインを1のタッチパネル上にソフトウェアキーとして表示する、そのソフトウェアキーの操作の情報を再度3の記憶・制御部が受信、処理して4の赤外線送信部を駆動して被制御機器を制御できる。The target controlled device is selected from the devices displayed as software keys on the touch panel 1 and the information is received by the storage / control unit 3 and processed in advance. The key design corresponding to is displayed as a software key on the touch panel of 1. The operation / operation of the software key is received and processed by the storage / control unit 3 again, and the infrared transmission unit 4 is driven to control the controlled device. Can be controlled.

3の記憶・制御部はインターフェイスである2のUSBコネクターにパソコンへ接続するUSBコードを接続することによりインターネット経由で新たな機器のリモコン用キーデザインや制御情報を入手、記憶することが出来るので対象とする被制御機器を増やすことが出来る。ソフトウェアのバージョンアップやバグ対応も可能である。  The memory / control unit 3 can be used to obtain and store key design and control information for remote control of new devices via the Internet by connecting the USB cord that connects to the personal computer to the USB connector 2 of the interface. The number of controlled devices can be increased. Software upgrades and bug fixes are also possible.
