Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic sewing machine, and in particular, a plurality of different types of functions of different types of sewing machines are provided in common, and the functions can be selected for each model. And a function switching device for the electronic sewing machine. 2. Description of the Related Art The functions of a sewing machine are different for each model such as a general-purpose machine or a special-purpose machine, and the execution contents of the same function are different for each model. For this reason, the conventional electronic sewing machine is provided with different functions and execution contents depending on the use for each model. For this reason, the conventional sewing machine has a disadvantage that the function and execution contents of the sewing machine cannot be selected and used according to the model. [0003] The present invention is to improve this point, and provides a function switching device of an electronic sewing machine that can select its own function and execution content according to the model even when the model is different. The purpose is to do. According to the present invention, a plurality of functions executable by each sewing machine, storage means for storing the execution contents of each function corresponding to each sewing machine, Means for instructing a desired function among a plurality of functions executable by each sewing machine and whether or not the function designated by the instructing means can be selected by a predetermined sewing machine are stored in the storage means. Means for determining based on the content, and when it is determined that the specified function is selectable in the predetermined sewing machine, the function specified by the specifying means and the type of the predetermined sewing machine Means for reading the execution contents of the function from the storage means in response thereto, and means for performing the execution contents of the predetermined sewing machine read by the reading means;
It is characterized by having. [0005] Therefore, just by instructing the function to be used by the operator, the appropriate function execution content according to the model of the sewing machine can be automatically selected. An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main part of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 indicates a shared portion, 2 indicates a sewn portion, and these are manufactured integrally. Shared part 1 is FPD
A drive (floppy drive) 5, a display unit 6, operation keys 7, a nonvolatile memory 8, a program memory 9, and a control unit 10 are provided. The sewing part 2 is well known and is not shown in detail.
It is constituted by a known sewing mechanism 11 such as a needle portion. FIG.
Reference numeral 12 indicates a bus, and 13, 14, and 15 indicate I / O ports. FIG. 2 shows a functional block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of one embodiment of the present invention. The characteristic operation of one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 20 denotes a conceptual diagram of a database previously stored in a storage device of the control unit 10. That is, according to the sewing functions of the sewing machine, for example, the stitch length changing function A, the double sewing function B,..., The offset function E, and the machine models (1) to (N) of the functions A to E. execution content A 1 ~A n, B 1 ~B n, ···, E 1 ~E n are stored. This database 20 is one of the features of the present invention. Reference numeral 21 denotes function selection data stored on the manufacturer side in advance, that is, data indicating functions executable according to the sewing mechanism 11, for example, functions A, B,. This is one of the features of the present invention. When the present invention is operated, step 30 is executed, and the function selection possibility table rewriting means 22 stored in the program memory 9 stores the function selection possibility table 27 in the memory 8 in accordance with the function selection data 21. Rewrite. Next, a model determination step 31 is executed. In this step 31, the output of the model identification means 29 representing the model of the sewing machine constituted by a known head identification means or a dip switch provided on the sewing machine main body is determined by the model identification means 23 stored in the program memory 9. Then, it is executed by writing the model information in the model information section 28 on the memory 8. The function display / selection means 24 stored in the program memory 9 displays the type of the function on the display unit 6, and the operator of the sewing machine designates a function to be used, for example, a function A, using the operation keys 7 (step 32). ). The function execution determination means 25 stored in the program memory 9 determines whether the designated function A is a selectable function based on the contents of the function selection availability table 27 (step 3).
3). If it can be selected, the function type determination means 26 stored in the program memory 9 reads the execution content A1 of the function A corresponding to the model of the sewing machine, for example, the model (1) from the database 20 based on the contents of the model information section 28. Reading (step 34), the sewing mechanism 11 is driven with the execution content A1 (step 35). When the function cannot be selected and after the execution of the selected function is completed, the process returns to step 32 to repeat the above steps. In this embodiment, the case where the execution contents of the function are different for each model has been described. For example, if the execution contents of the function A are the same for a plurality of models, for example, the models (1) to (3), , execution contents of the function a is the model (1) to (3) the same execution contents a 1 in is written to the database, function (1) to the same content a 1 is in the (3) is performed. As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of functions executable by each sewing machine and the execution means of each function are stored in correspondence with each sewing machine. Means for instructing a desired function among the plurality of functions, means for selecting execution contents of the function according to the function instructed by the instructing means and the type of the sewing machine, and means for selecting by the selecting means. And means for performing the execution. Therefore, as compared with the conventional apparatus, an excellent effect of automatically selecting the appropriate function execution content according to the model of the sewing machine can be exhibited only by instructing the function to be used by the operator.
