Description

  The present invention relates to a remote operation system including an electric device and a remote operation device for operating the electric device by transmitting an operation signal from a position away from the electric device.

  In recent years, with the widespread use of electrical devices that can be operated by remote control devices, there are increasing opportunities for the same type of electrical devices that can be operated remotely (for example, air conditioners) to be installed in the same room. When the same identification code (so-called custom code) is assigned to the same model of electrical equipment, when the user operates one remote control device, operation signals are received by multiple electrical equipment of the same model. Even the electric equipment that the user does not intend to operate reacts.

  Therefore, in Patent Document 1, for example, prior to remote operation, an identification code unique to the electrical device intended for operation is set for the remote operation device (remote control unit), and the identification code is set as the electrical code to be operated. The data is transmitted to a device so that the electric device is set. This facilitates the setting of the identification code unique to the electric device, and the user can operate the intended electric device while switching the identification code of the electric device with the same remote control device.

  In Patent Document 2, identification information for identifying individual electric devices is defined, and the identification information input to the remote control device is transmitted to the electric device to be operated and stored in the electric device. Thereafter, the electric device accepts an operation based on the operation signal only when the stored identification information matches the identification information of the received operation signal among the operation signals received from the remote operation device. Yes. As a result, it is possible to operate only the electrical device intended by the user without changing the identification code of the electrical device.

  On the other hand, even when each electric device is operated by a dedicated remote control device, for example, when one remote control device fails, the other remote control device is used to replace the faulty remote control device. There are times when it is desired.

On the other hand, in Patent Document 3, a system-specific code signal is transmitted from a remote operation device (controller) to an electric device to be operated, and the electric device receives a received code signal and a stored code signal. In remote operation system (remote control system) that accepts all operations only when they match, remote operation with different code signals for starting / stopping, which is the basic operation of electrical equipment, and for raising / lowering the set temperature The operation by the apparatus is also accepted.

  However, in the technologies disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, when operating a specific electrical device among a plurality of electrical devices of the same model with one remote control device, the identification code of the electrical device to be operated or The identification information must be set each time and transmitted to the electrical device, which makes the operation complicated.

  Further, according to the remote operation system disclosed in Patent Document 3, basic operations such as start / stop of operation are always performed regardless of whether the remote operation device is dedicated to the electric device to be operated. Although it can be accepted by the device, all operations can be accepted only when the remote control device and the electrical device have the same code signal.For example, a faulty remote control device can be completely replaced by another remote control device. It cannot be substituted.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a plurality of electrical devices that are individually identified without changing the identification information of the electrical devices set in the remote control device. It is an object of the present invention to provide a remote operation system that can be collectively operated with a common remote operation device regardless of the operation content.

The remote operation system according to the present invention receives one or a plurality of electric devices, and an operation signal including information for operating the electric devices, information for distinguishing and operating the electric devices, and information indicating operation contents. In the remote control system including the remote control device for operating the electrical device, the remote control device accepts the storage unit for storing presence / absence of the electrical device and the operation for distinguishing the electrical device. A means for reversing the stored contents of the storage means each time the receiving means accepts an operation, and a determining means for determining whether the storage contents of the storage means are distinguished or not , When the determination means determines that there is a distinction, an operation signal including information for distinguishing and operating the electrical equipment and information indicating the operation content is transmitted, and the determination means distinguishes If it is determined that the teeth, Yes and configured to transmit an operation signal including information indicating the information Ho及 beauty operation content for operating collectively a plurality of electric devices, wherein the receiving unit receives an operation When the stored contents are inverted, the determination means determines that there is no distinction, and when the means measures the first time, the storage contents of the storage means are updated with distinction when the means measures the first time. Means for receiving the operation signal when receiving an operation signal including information for operating the electric device in a lump .

In the present invention, the remote control device includes means for accepting an operation related to the distinction between the electric devices, and when the operation is accepted, when the operation for the electric device is accepted thereafter, the electric devices are collectively operated. And an operation signal including information indicating operation details . In addition, when the electric device receives the operation signal, the information held for identification of the electric device and the information for identification included in the operation signal may or may not match. An operation based on the operation signal is received. As a result, a plurality of electrical devices having different identification information accepts an operation by a common remote control device. Therefore, when an operation related to the distinction between the electric devices is accepted, it is possible to collectively operate electric devices of the same model using a common remote operation device.

  According to such a configuration, the remote control device includes means for storing the presence / absence of the distinction between the electric devices, and the stored contents (the presence / absence of the distinction between the electric devices) each time an operation related to the distinction between the electric devices is received. Is reversed. In addition, when the remote operation device accepts an operation on an electric device, if the stored content is distinguished, an operation signal for distinguishing and operating the electric device is transmitted, and the stored content is distinguished. When there is nothing, an operation signal for operating a plurality of electric devices at once is transmitted. Thereby, whenever it receives the operation which concerns on the distinction of an electric equipment, the structure of whether to operate an electric equipment collectively is switched.

  According to such a configuration, the remote control device accepts an operation related to the distinction of the electric device, and starts timing when the distinction of the electric device is reversed and no distinction is made. Thereafter, when the first time is measured, the distinction of the electric device is updated to “present”. As a result, when the first time has elapsed since the operation related to the distinction between the electric devices has been received, the configuration is returned to the configuration in which the electric devices are distinguished and operated.

  The remote operation system according to the present invention comprises means for counting the time that the operation continues when the remote operation device accepts an operation on an electrical device when the determination unit determines that there is no distinction, When the means measures the second time, it is configured to transmit an operation signal for collectively operating a plurality of electric devices based on the operation regardless of the result of the determination means. Is preferred.

  According to such a configuration, the remote operation device measures the time during which the operation on the electric device continues when the electric device is not distinguished. Thereafter, when the second time is measured, when the operation is received, an operation signal for operating a plurality of electric devices collectively is transmitted based on the operation. As a result, regardless of whether or not the stored electrical devices are distinguished, a plurality of electrical devices having different identification information accept operations designated by the common remote control device.

  According to the present invention, a plurality of individually identified electrical devices can be collectively operated with a common remote operation device without changing the identification information of the electrical devices set in the remote operation device each time. Is possible.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings illustrating embodiments thereof.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a configuration of an operation signal transmitted from the remote operation device 10 to the air conditioner 20. The operation signal is configured in accordance with the recommended format of the Home Appliances Association. The signals P1, D0, D10 and the signal P2 are each 4 bits, and the signals C0, C1 and the signals D1 to D9 are each 8 bits. The operation signal is composed of a total of 104 bits.

  The signals C0 and C1 are custom codes for identifying the manufacturer and model of the electric device. Identification information for identifying individual air conditioners 20 is assigned to the lower 4 bits of the signal D3. Signals P1 and P2 are the parity of signals C0 and C1 and signals D0 to D10, respectively. In the present embodiment, a common signal to be described later is assigned to the least significant bit of the signal D10, and when the least significant bit of the signal D10 is “1”, it indicates that the common signal is significant. Note that the bit position of the common signal is not limited to the lowest position of the signal D10.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure in which the control unit 11 performs processing related to the common signal button 19 when each operation button in the operation unit 15 of the remote operation device 10 is pressed. The control unit 11 performs the process of FIG. 5 prior to the process related to each operation button. The remote operation device will be described on the assumption that information for identifying the air conditioner (in this embodiment, identification information) is already set in the RAM 13.
The common signal flag is used to store the presence / absence of setting to include the common signal in the operation signal, and is stored in the RAM 13. The common signal flag is cleared at the time of initialization by the control unit 11. The control unit 11 first determines whether or not the common signal button 19 has been pressed (step S21).

  When it is determined that the common signal button 19 has been pressed (step S21: YES), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the common signal flag is set (step S22). When it determines with the common signal flag being set (step S22: YES), the control part 11 clears (inverts) a common signal flag (step S23), and complete | finishes a process.

  If it is determined that the common signal flag is not set (step S22: NO), the control unit 11 sets (inverts) the common signal flag (step S24), and further sets the timer 14 for a predetermined time (first time). In this embodiment, 10 seconds) is set and time counting is started (step S25). Thereafter, the control unit 11 ends the process.

  When it is determined that the common signal button 19 is not pressed (step S21: NO), that is, when an operation button other than the common signal button 19 is pressed, the control unit 11 sets the common signal flag and performs step It is determined whether or not a predetermined time (first time) has elapsed since the start of time counting in S25 (step S26). When it is determined that the common signal flag is set and the predetermined time (first time) has elapsed (step S26: YES), the control unit 11 performs the process to step S23 in order to invert the common signal flag. return.

  When it is determined that the common signal flag is not set or the predetermined time (first time) has not elapsed (step S26: NO), the control unit 11 performs the process without inverting the common signal flag. finish.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure in which the control unit 11 performs processing related to operation buttons other than the common signal button 19 when each operation button in the operation unit 15 of the remote operation device 10 is pressed. The individual signal flag is for storing, for each operation button, the presence / absence of a setting for including a common signal in the operation signal. The individual signal flag is stored in the RAM 13 and cleared at the time of initialization by the control unit 11.
The control unit 11 first determines whether or not an operation button other than the common signal button 19 has been pressed (step S30). When it is determined that the common signal button 19 has been pressed (step S30: NO), the control unit 11 ends the process as it is.

  When it is determined that an operation button other than the common signal button 19 is pressed (step S30: YES), the control unit 11 stores the pressed operation button in the RAM 13 (step S31), and then stores the pressed operation button in the pressed operation button. It is determined whether or not the corresponding individual signal flag is set (step S32). If it is determined that the individual signal flag is set (step S32: YES), the control unit 11 calls and executes an operation signal transmission processing subroutine (step S33). After the process of step S33 is completed, the control unit 11 ends the process.

  When it is determined that the individual signal flag corresponding to the pressed operation button is not set (step S32: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether the common signal flag is set (step S34). When it is determined that the common signal flag is not set (step S34: NO), the control unit 11 returns the process to step S33 to call the operation signal transmission process.

  When it is determined that the common signal flag is set (step S34: YES), the control unit 11 sets a predetermined time (second time; 5 seconds in the present embodiment) to the timer 14 and starts measuring time. (Step S35). Then, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the operation button stored in the RAM 13 is continuously pressed (step S36). When it determines with pressing of the operation button not continuing (step S36: NO), the control part 11 returns a process to step S33, in order to call an operation signal transmission process.

  When it is determined that the pressing of the operation button is continued (step S36: YES), the control unit 11 determines whether or not a predetermined time (second time) has elapsed since the start of time measurement in step S35 (step S36). S37). When it is determined that the predetermined time (second time) has not elapsed since the start of timing (step S37: NO), the control unit 11 returns the process to step S36.

  When it is determined that the predetermined time (second time) has elapsed from the start of time measurement (step S37: YES), the control unit 11 determines again whether or not the common signal flag is set (step S38). When it determines with the common signal flag not being set (step S38: NO), the control part 11 returns a process to step S33, in order to call an operation signal transmission process.

When it is determined that the common signal flag is set (step S38: YES), the control unit 11 sets an individual signal flag corresponding to the pressed operation button (step S39), and further performs an operation signal transmission process. In order to call it, the process returns to step S33.
Note that the determination in step S38 may be omitted, and if the predetermined time (second time) has elapsed in step S37, the process may be shifted to step S39 regardless of the common signal flag.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of a subroutine related to the operation signal transmission processing. The control unit 11 assembles the operation signal of FIG. 4 corresponding to the operation button stored in step S31 on the buffer of the RAM 13 (step S41). In this case, the common signal is not written (that is, the least significant bit of the signal D10 remains “0”). Next, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the common signal flag is set (step S42). When it is determined that the common signal flag is set (step S42: YES), the control unit 11 writes the common signal to the operation signal on the buffer (that is, sets the least significant bit of the signal D10 to “1”) ( Next, a process of transmitting the operation signal in the buffer is performed (step S44), and the process returns to the called routine.

  When it is determined that the common signal flag is not set (step S42: NO), the control unit 11 sets the individual signal flag stored in step S39 corresponding to the operation button stored in step S31 of FIG. It is determined whether or not (step S45). If it is determined that the individual signal flag is set (step S45: YES), the control unit 11 returns the process to step S43 to write the common signal in the buffer.

  When it is determined that the individual signal flag is not set (step S45: NO), the control unit 11 does not write the common signal in the buffer (that is, the least significant bit of the signal D10 remains “0”). Then, the process returns to step S44 for transmitting the operation signal. In this way, when the individual signal flag or the common signal flag corresponding to the pressed operation button is set, the control unit 11 includes the common signal in the operation signal and transmits it to the air conditioner 20.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the main control unit 21 related to reception when the air conditioner 20 receives an operation signal. A description will be given assuming that the match between the custom code stored in the RAM 23 and the custom code included in the received operation signal has already been confirmed by the main control unit 21.
The main control unit 21 determines whether or not the identification information read from the received operation signal matches the identification information set in the RAM 23 (step S51). When it is determined that the identification information matches (step S51: YES), the main control unit 21 performs an operation reception process corresponding to the received operation signal (step S52), and updates the settings related to the operation of the air conditioner 20. To do. Thereafter, the main control unit 21 ends the process.

  When it is determined that the identification information read from the received operation signal does not match the identification information set in the RAM 23 (step S51: NO), the main control unit 21 determines whether the common signal of the received operation signal is significant. It is determined whether or not (step S53). When it is determined that the common signal is significant (step S53: YES), the main control unit 21 returns the process to step S52 in order to perform an operation reception process corresponding to the received operation signal. When it is determined that the common signal is not significant (step S53: NO), the main control unit 21 ends the process without accepting the process corresponding to the received operation signal.

As described above, in the remote operation system according to the present embodiment, when the remote operation device accepts an operation of the common signal button, the common signal for causing the air conditioner to accept the operation is used as the operation signal. When the air conditioner receives the operation signal including the common signal, all of the air conditioner regardless of the coincidence / mismatch of the identification information held and the identification information included in the received operation signal The operation of is accepted. Therefore, by pressing the common signal button, a plurality of air conditioners having different identification information can be collectively operated with a common remote control device.
In other words, when the remote operation device accepts an operation related to the distinction between the electrical devices, the remote operation device transmits an operation signal for collectively operating the electrical devices when an operation on the electrical device is subsequently accepted. In addition, the electric device accepts an operation based on the operation signal regardless of whether the information to be identified matches or does not match. As a result, a plurality of electric devices having different identification information accepts an operation by a common remote operation device regardless of the operation content. Therefore, when a predetermined simple operation is performed on the remote operation device, a plurality of individually identified electric devices can be collectively operated with a common remote operation device without setting identification information each time. Is possible.
For example, if a remote control device with individual identification information set fails or becomes temporarily unavailable, the remote control device with other identification information set can be used for failure or use without changing the identification information. It becomes possible to replace the remote control device that has become impossible.

Further, the remote control device reverses the setting / clearing of the common signal flag every time the operation of the common signal button is accepted. Thereby, every time the operation is accepted, the configuration of whether or not to transmit the common signal included in the operation signal is switched. Therefore, it is possible to easily switch the configuration of whether or not a plurality of air conditioners having different identification information are collectively operated with a common remote control device.
For example, it is possible to operate a plurality of air conditioners on / off in a batch with a common remote control device, and then operate individual air conditioner settings with the individual remote control devices.

  In other words, the purpose of providing a remote operation system capable of easily switching the configuration of whether or not to collectively operate a plurality of electrical devices having different identification information with a common remote operation device is achieved. it can.

  Furthermore, the remote control device accepts the operation of the common signal button, inverts the setting / clearing of the common signal flag, and when the flag is set, the common signal flag is set when the first time is counted thereafter. clear. As a result, once the first time has elapsed with the configuration in which the common signal is once included in the operation signal, the configuration is returned to the configuration in which the common signal is not included in the operation signal. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a user from forgetting to return to a configuration in which a plurality of air conditioners having different identification information can be collectively operated by a common remote control device and operated by distinguishing the air conditioners. Become.

  That is, it is possible to prevent a user from forgetting to return to a configuration in which a plurality of electric devices having different identification information can be collectively operated by a common remote control device and operated by distinguishing the air conditioner. The objective of providing a remote control system can also be achieved.

Furthermore, when the common signal flag is set, the remote control device measures the time during which the operation on the air conditioner continues. Thereafter, when the second time is measured, when the operation is accepted, the common signal is included in the operation signal and transmitted. Thereby, irrespective of the setting / clearing of the common signal flag, a plurality of air conditioners having different identification information accepts a specified operation by the common remote control device. Therefore, regardless of setting / clearing of the common signal flag, a plurality of air conditioners having different identification information can be collectively operated with a common remote operation device with respect to the designated operation.
Specifically, buttons that are operated in common for a plurality of air conditioners can be selected. For example, the set temperatures of the plurality of air conditioners can be changed simultaneously.

  In other words, regardless of whether or not the stored electrical devices are distinguished, a remote operation that allows a plurality of electrical devices with different identification information to be collectively operated with a common remote operation device for specified operations The purpose of providing a system can also be achieved.

  In the present embodiment, the individual signal flag set in step S39 is held until the next initialization of the control unit 11, but the individual signal flag set once corresponds to the corresponding operation button. May be cleared by continuing to press for a predetermined time (for example, the second time or a third time different from the second time).

  In addition, an operation button corresponding to the set individual signal flag may be displayed on the display unit 16. The display unit 16 may display whether or not the common signal flag is set, that is, whether or not the same type of air conditioner can be collectively operated.

Furthermore, it is configured to notify by sound that the transmission unit 17 of the remote operation device 10 has transmitted an operation signal and / or that the main control unit 21 of the air conditioner 20 has received the operation signal. In this case, the sound may be different depending on whether or not the common signal is included in the operation signal.
In the present embodiment, the first time is set to 10 seconds and the second time is set to 5 seconds. However, the first time and the second time are the same (for example, 10 seconds). It is good. In this case, as described above, the determination in step S38 is omitted, and when the predetermined time (second time) has elapsed in step S37, the process proceeds to step S39 regardless of the common signal flag. Is preferred. Thus, even when the common signal flag is cleared when the second time is counted (that is, when the second time is counted), the control unit 11 can move the process to step S39.
