Next, each part of the mobile phone of the present invention will be specifically described.
The basic mobile phone module 6 controls a call that is an original function of a general mobile phone and additional functions such as phone book registration.
However, in this case, when the mode is switched to the remote control mode that functions as a remote control by the operation of the key, the control is transferred to the LSI 3 described later, and the LSI 3, the key 7, the display 4, and the memory 5 are connected. Data exchange is performed via the basic mobile phone module 6.
[0010]
The phototransistor 9 receives, for example, a pattern signal emitted from a remote control owned by a user such as a television or an air conditioner, performs photoelectric conversion to amplify by converting to a photocurrent proportional to the light intensity, and performs analog conversion. An electrical signal is output.
The waveform shaping unit 8 receives an analog electrical signal from the phototransistor 9, performs analog / digital (A / D) conversion, and outputs the analog signal to the LSI 3 as pattern signal data.
[0011]
The driver 2 receives pattern signal data output from the LSI 3, performs digital / analog (D / A) conversion, and outputs an analog electric signal to the light emitting diode 1.
The light emitting diode 1 emits a signal similar to the pattern signal of the remote controller by converting the electrical signal into light in accordance with the electrical signal output from the driver 2.
[0012]
The display 4 displays general information in a normal mobile phone. In particular, in this case, the display 4 displays the type of the input remote control pattern signal and the type of the stored pattern signal. ing.
[0013]
Key7 corresponds to the input unit in the claims and is used to input information necessary for a normal mobile phone. In this case, in particular, when registering the pattern signal of the remote controller, the type of pattern signal is input. Also, when used as a remote controller, the remote controller is operated.
Here, the operation for the remote control means, for example, that the mobile phone is set in the remote control mode with the key for switching the mode, the type of the pattern signal stored in the memory 5 is scrolled with the arrow keys or the like and displayed on the display 4, and is specified. When a key for emitting light (light emission key) is pressed while the type of pattern signal is displayed, a signal similar to the pattern signal of the remote controller is emitted.
[0014]
The memory 5 corresponds to the storage unit in the claims, and stores information necessary for a normal mobile phone. In particular, in this case, the memory 5 stores a remote control table that associates the input pattern signal data of the remote control with its type. It is something to remember.
A specific example of the remote control table in the memory 5 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the remote control table in the memory 5 of the present invention.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 2, the remote control table of the memory 5 is composed of pattern signal types and pattern signal data. The pattern signal types include the types of pattern signals input from the Key 7 by user operation. In the pattern signal data, pattern signal data obtained by A / D converting the pattern signal of the remote controller received by the phototransistor 9 is stored corresponding to the type of pattern signal.
For example, the types of pattern signals are “TV Dengen”, “Air Conditioner Dengen”, etc., and in the example of FIG. 2, the user can freely set 10 types.
[0016]
The LSI 3 corresponds to a control unit in claims and controls the remote control function. The LSI 3 performs processing by operating a control program on the LSI 3 when the mode is switched to the remote control mode in the basic mobile phone module 6.
As specific processing contents, registration processing for inputting and registering a pattern signal of a remote controller and light emission processing for emitting a registered pattern signal are performed.
[0017]
Here, the registration process corresponds to the input of the pattern signal type from the Key 7 by the user's operation, the pattern signal data from the waveform shaping unit 8, and the correspondence between the pattern signal type and the pattern signal data in the memory 5. It is a process of adding and storing.
[0018]
In the light emission process, first, the pattern signal type is read from the memory 5 and output and displayed on the display 4, and the pattern signal type to be displayed is scrolled and displayed in accordance with, for example, a scroll key input from the key 7.
When a light emission key is input from the Key 7 by a user's operation in a state where any pattern signal type is displayed, the pattern signal data corresponding to the displayed pattern signal type is read from the memory 5. This is a process of outputting to the driver 2.
[0019]
Next, the operation of the mobile phone of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. As an example, a specific example will be described in which a pattern signal of a power button of a television remote controller is registered to emit light.
[0020]
When the mode is switched to the remote control mode by the operation of the Key 7 under the control of the basic mobile phone module 6, the mobile phone of the present invention shifts to the LSI 3, and the LSI 3 displays a screen for selecting registration processing or light emission processing. It is displayed on the display 4 and a selection input from the Key 7 is awaited.
[0021]
When the registration process is selected from the Key 7 by the user's operation, the pattern signal type is input from the Key 7 and displayed on the display 4 at the same time as the registration process operation of the LSI 3. For example, in the case of registering a power button of a television, “TV Dengen” and Key 7 are input.
[0022]
Then, when the user holds the original remote control, for example, the remote control of the TV, toward the mobile phone of the present invention, the power button of the TV is pressed, and the pattern signal is emitted from the remote control, the mobile phone of the present invention The pattern signal of the remote control is received by the phototransistor 9 and photoelectrically converted, A / D converted by the waveform shaping unit 8 and output to the LSI 3 as pattern signal data, and the LSI 3 corresponds to the type of pattern signal previously input. In addition, the pattern signal data is stored in the memory 5.
[0023]
When the light emission process is selected from the Key 7 by the user's operation, the pattern signal type is read from the memory 5 and displayed on the display 4 as the operation of the light emission process of the LSI 3.
When an input for instructing scrolling is made from the key 7, the type of the pattern signal is read from the memory 5 and displayed on the display 4 accordingly.
[0024]
For example, when an input for instructing light emission using the light emission key is made from the Key 7 in a state where “TV Dengen” is displayed on the display 4, the type of pattern signal displayed on the display 4 from the memory 5 by the LSI 3. Pattern signal data corresponding to (“TV Dengen”) is read out, D / A converted by the driver 2, and a signal similar to the pattern signal of the remote controller is emitted from the light emitting diode 1.
[0025]
