Description

  The present invention relates to a device operation system, and more particularly, to a method for setting a reception sensitivity of the switch operation in an electric device having an operation unit with a capacitance type switch.

  Recently, a bathroom television system has been proposed that allows viewers to watch television broadcasts while bathing. This type of bathroom television system has a thin monitor device that is waterproof and installed on the wall surface of the bathroom so that a television broadcast can be viewed through the monitor device. An operation unit (main body operation unit) of the bathroom television system is provided, and is configured to be able to turn on / off the power, select a channel, adjust the volume, and the like by operating the main body operation unit. In addition, this kind of bathroom television system is provided with a wireless remote controller in addition to the operation unit of the monitor device, and various operations such as turning on / off the power can also be performed by this wireless remote controller.

  On the other hand, many recent electrical devices have been proposed that employ a capacitive switch (capacitance detection proximity switch) as an operation unit (see, for example, Patent Document 1). As is well known, since the surface of the operation unit can be made flat by using a capacitance type switch for the operation unit, it is easy to mold the operation unit and provide an electric device with excellent design. can do. Therefore, it is desirable to employ a capacitance type switch for the operation unit in the monitor device of the bathroom television system described above.

  However, in order to adopt a capacitance type switch as an operation part of a bathroom television system, there are the following problems, and improvement thereof is necessary.

  That is, the operation unit of the bathroom TV system is arranged on the front surface of the monitor device installed on the wall surface of the bathroom as described above, so that water and soap (body soap, shampoo, etc.) It is in a situation where foreign substances such as are easily scattered and adhered. For this reason, if the sensitivity of the capacitive switch is set high, there is a risk of misjudgment and malfunction that the switch has been operated due to the attachment of such a foreign object, while the sensitivity is set low, There is a problem that even if the operation is performed, the operation cannot be accepted (acceptance failure).

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a system with few misjudgment of an operation unit and poor reception in an apparatus operation system such as a bathroom television system. There is.

In order to achieve the above object, an apparatus operating system according to claim 1 of the present invention is an apparatus operating system in which an electric apparatus can be operated from both a main body operation unit provided in the main body of the electric apparatus and a wireless remote controller. The control unit of the device is configured to be able to set two types of high and low settings of normal sensitivity and sensitivity lower than the normal sensitivity as operation reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit, and when the operation by the main body operation unit is received, characterized in that the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit is set to the normal sensitivity, accepts an operation by the wireless remote control the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit having a control circuit which sets a lower sensitivity than the normal sensitivity And

That is, in the device operation system according to claim 1, the control unit of the electric device is configured to be able to set two kinds of settings , the normal sensitivity and the sensitivity lower than the normal sensitivity, as the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit. The When the control unit accepts an operation by the main body operation unit of the electric device, the control unit sets the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit to a normal sensitivity, and makes it easier to accept subsequent operations on the main body operation unit. When the operation from the wireless remote control is accepted, the reception sensitivity of the main unit operation unit is set to a lower sensitivity than the normal sensitivity , and the subsequent operation on the main unit operation unit is made difficult to receive .

In other words, in an electric device configured to be operable by both the main body operation unit and the wireless remote controller, when the user performs an operation using the main body operation unit without using the wireless remote control, the operation is performed subsequently. Since the operation tends to be performed on the main unit operation unit, in this case, the acceptance sensitivity of the main unit operation unit is set to the normal sensitivity and the operation from the main unit operation unit is easy to accept. On the other hand, if operation is performed using the wireless remote controller without using the main unit operation unit, subsequent operations tend to be performed with the wireless remote control unit. The acceptance sensitivity is set to a sensitivity lower than the normal sensitivity so that erroneous determination and malfunction due to adhesion of foreign matter to the main body operation unit are prevented.

It should be noted that here, the specific sensitivity of the two types of high and low reception sensitivities that can be set in the control unit depends on the mode of the main unit operation unit (the mode of the switch used in the main unit operation unit and its arrangement). It is set as appropriate according to the surrounding environment (such as the degree of possibility of foreign matter adhering to the operation section of the main body and the ambient temperature and humidity).

  The device control system according to claim 2 of the present invention is the device operation system according to claim 1, wherein the control unit receives the operation from the main body operation unit or the wireless remote controller each time the main body operation is performed. The reception sensitivity of each part is set.

  That is, in applying the invention according to claim 1, for example, the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit is set according to whether the first operation by the user is performed by the main body operation unit or the wireless remote controller. However, according to the second aspect of the present invention, every time an operation is performed with the main body operation unit or the wireless remote controller, the control unit determines whether the operation is performed with the main body operation unit or the wireless remote control, and the main body. Since it is configured to set the acceptance sensitivity of the operation unit, for example, the user can operate with the wireless remote control after performing an operation with the main unit operation unit, or can be operated with the main unit operation unit after performing the operation with the wireless remote control. If the previous operation and the subsequent operation are performed at different parts (main unit operation unit or wireless remote control), as in Reception sensitivity of the manipulation section is set based on the Broken last operation (operation after the above). Therefore, in the device operation system according to the second aspect, even when the user changes the operation part, it is possible to prevent poor reception of the main body operation unit and erroneous determination / malfunction in response to the change of the operation part. it can.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the device operating system according to the first or second aspect, wherein the control unit is either the normal sensitivity or a sensitivity lower than the normal sensitivity. Is used as the initial setting value of the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit.

That is, in the device operation system according to the claim 3, using either one of the high and low two kinds of reception sensitivity is possible to switch the setting in the control unit as an initial setting value of the reception sensitivity of the manipulation section Therefore, for example, if normal sensitivity on the high sensitivity side is used as the initial setting value, it is possible to suppress poor reception of the main body operation unit at the beginning of use of the electric device. On the other hand, if the sensitivity is set to be lower than the normal sensitivity on the low sensitivity side , erroneous determination of the main body operation unit can be prevented when the electric device is not used. It should be noted that which of the high sensitivity side and the low sensitivity side is used as the initial setting value may be appropriately set according to the type of electrical equipment, the installation location, and the like.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device operation system according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the main body operation unit is constituted by a capacitive switch. To do. That is, in the device operating system according to the fourth aspect, since the capacitance type switch is used as the main body operating portion, the surface of the main body operating portion can be made flat, easy to mold and designed. It is possible to provide an excellent electrical device.

  According to claim 5 of the present invention, in the device operation system according to any one of claims 1 to 4, the wireless remote controller is an infrared remote controller. That is, according to the device operation system of the fifth aspect, the present invention can be applied to an electric device including an infrared remote controller as a wireless remote controller.

  A device operation system according to claim 6 is the device operation system according to any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein the electrical device is a monitor device installed in a bathroom. That is, according to the appliance operation system according to the sixth aspect, the present invention can be applied to a monitor device used in a bathroom television system. Therefore, it is possible to provide a monitor device with excellent designability, in which there are few reception failures, erroneous determinations and malfunctions of the main body operation unit in a monitor device of a bathroom television system in an environment where foreign matters such as water and shampoo are likely to adhere. it can.

According to the present invention, when the control unit of the electric device accepts an operation by the main body operation unit of the electric device, the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit is set to a normal sensitivity , and when the operation by the wireless remote controller is accepted, the reception of the main body operation unit is accepted. Since it has a control configuration that sets the sensitivity to a lower sensitivity than the normal sensitivity , when operation is performed on the main unit operation unit, it becomes easy to accept subsequent operations on the main unit operation unit. Occurrence of poor reception of operation of the part is suppressed. On the other hand, when the operation is performed with the wireless remote controller, it becomes difficult to accept the operation of the main body operation unit thereafter, and the occurrence of erroneous determination / malfunction due to adhesion of foreign matter to the main body operation unit is suppressed.

  Further, the present invention is configured such that when the control unit of the electric device receives an operation with the main body operation unit or the wireless remote controller, the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit is set each time, for example, Even if the previous operation and the subsequent operation are performed at different parts, such as when the user operates with the wireless remote control after the user operates with the main unit operation unit, the main unit operation unit Therefore, the operability of the main body operation unit can be ensured, and poor reception of the main body operation unit and erroneous determination / malfunction can be prevented.

In addition, by using a monitor device installed in the bathroom as the electrical device, in the monitor device of the bathroom TV system in an environment where foreign matter such as water or shampoo is likely to adhere, the reception operation of the main body operation unit is not accepted or erroneous determination / malfunction Can be reduced.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
Embodiment 1
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of a bathroom television system to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an external configuration of a monitor device of the bathroom television system.

  The bathroom television system shown in FIG. 1 is a bathroom television system configured to be remotely operable by a wireless remote controller, and includes a tuner device 1 for receiving a television broadcast, and the television broadcast received by the tuner device 1. The main part is a monitor device 2 for displaying and the like, and a wireless remote controller 3 for remotely controlling them.

  Here, the bathroom television system having such a configuration is already known and will not be described in detail. However, in the bathroom television system shown in FIG. 1, the tuner device 1 and the monitor device 2 are configured separately. The case is shown. When the tuner device 1 and the monitor device 2 are configured separately as described above, only the monitor device 2 is installed in a bathroom (specifically, a bathroom wall surface), and the tuner device 1 is a bathroom such as a ceiling. Installed outside. Then, remote operation of the tuner device 1 (for example, turning on / off the power, selecting a channel, and when the tuner device 1 has an external input function capable of connecting a video device such as a DVD player) Various operations such as input switching) are performed from the monitor device 2 side via the cable 4.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the monitor device 2 includes a monitor unit 5, a main body operation unit 6, a control unit 7, and an infrared light receiving unit 8 as main parts. As shown in FIG. 2, the monitor unit 5 includes a display device 11 such as a liquid crystal display panel and an audio output device 12 such as an amplifier / speaker, and the video signal and audio signal supplied from the tuner device 1 are the same. It is configured so as to be displayed via the monitor unit 5.

  The main body operation unit 6 includes various switches 13 to 16 provided on the front surface of the monitor device 2 as main parts. In the illustrated example, the main body operation unit 6 includes a power switch 13, an input changeover switch 14, a volume adjustment switch 15, and a channel selection switch 16. In the present embodiment, capacitance switches are used for the various switches 13 to 16, respectively, and the user can perform a desired operation simply by lightly touching the various switches 13 to 16. Yes.

  In addition, by adopting the capacitive switch for the main body operation unit 6 in this way, the surface (front surface) of the main body operation unit 6 can be made flat, and the monitor device 2 that is excellent in design is provided. can do. Further, also in terms of manufacturing, the structure of the casing portion constituting the main body operation unit 6 can be simplified, and the molding can be facilitated, so that the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

  Here, as is well known, a capacitance type switch is a switch that operates by detecting a change in capacitance of an electrode when an object approaches the detection electrode. In this embodiment, the capacitance type switch The voltage pulses (specifically, the number of pulses per unit time) output from the detection circuit (not shown) according to the change are counted, and this count value exceeds a predetermined reference value (switch determination reference value) The controller 7 is configured to determine that there is a switch operation when the state is maintained for a predetermined time.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the determination in the control unit 7. As shown in the figure, the control unit 7 monitors the count value output from the detection circuit at a constant sampling period. When a state where the count value exceeds the switch determination reference value is maintained for a predetermined time (specifically, for a predetermined number of times of sampling), it is determined that there is a switch operation (switch ON). That is, the acceptance sensitivity of the switch operation in the main body operation unit 6 is set by the switch determination reference value and the number of times of sampling exceeding the switch determination reference value (the predetermined sampling number).

  Therefore, if the switch determination reference value is set high in the control unit 7, the switch operation acceptance sensitivity is lowered accordingly (only responds to a large capacitance). On the other hand, if the switch determination reference value is set low, the switch operation acceptance sensitivity is increased accordingly (reacts with a small capacitance). Further, if the predetermined number of samplings is increased, the switch will not be determined to be operated unless the switch is pressed for a long time, so that the sensitivity is lowered accordingly. In both cases, it is determined that there is an operation, and the sensitivity is increased. As described above, the reception sensitivity of the operation switches 13 to 16 in the main body operation unit 6 can be set in the control unit 7.

  On the other hand, the control unit 7 is a control device for performing control of each part of the monitor device 2 and remote control of the tuner device 1 based on the operation of the main body operation unit 6 and an operation signal given from an infrared light receiving unit 8 described later. The monitor device 2 and the tuner device 1 are controlled by the microcomputer program. In particular, the present embodiment is configured such that setting / changing of the sensitivity for accepting a switch operation in the main body operation unit 6 which will be described later is performed by setting the program.

  The infrared light receiving unit 8 is a light receiving unit for receiving an infrared signal (remote operation signal) transmitted from the wireless remote controller 3, and the remote operation signal received by the light receiving unit 8 is converted into an electrical signal. Input to the control unit 7. Thereby, an operation signal corresponding to an operation performed by the wireless remote controller 3 is input to the control unit 7, and the control unit 7 is configured to control the monitor device 2 and the tuner device 1 according to the operation signal. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 17 denotes a window for receiving infrared rays.

  The wireless remote controller 3 is a remote controller including a plurality of operation switches 20 as its operation unit, and is configured by an infrared remote controller that outputs an operation signal generated according to an operation of the operation switch 20 as an infrared signal. Here, since the configuration of the infrared remote control itself is well known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. However, unlike the main body operation unit 6 described above, a pressure-sensitive mechanical switch is employed as the operation switch 20 of the wireless remote control 3. Has been.

  Thus, in the bathroom television system configured as described above, in the present embodiment, when the capacitance type switch is adopted for the main body operation unit 6 (various operation switches 13 to 16) of the monitor device 2, the remote control with respect to the bathroom television system is performed. Depending on whether the operation is performed on the main body operation unit 6 (various operation switches 13 to 16) of the monitor device 2 or on the operation unit (operation switch 20) of the wireless remote controller 3, the control unit 7 operates the main body. The reception sensitivity setting of the operation switches 13 to 16 of the unit 6 is changed.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a procedure for setting the acceptance sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6 in the control unit 7.

  In the control illustrated in FIG. 4, the control unit 7 is configured to set two types of sensitivity, high and low, as reception sensitivity of the various operation switches 13 to 16 constituting the main body operation unit 6. Specifically, the control unit 7 is configured to be able to set a normal sensitivity (a state in which switch operation is easily accepted) and a sensitivity lower than the normal sensitivity (a state in which switch operation is difficult to accept). The normal sensitivity is set as the initial setting value of the control unit 7. That is, when the bathroom television system is turned off, the normal sensitivity is set as the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6.

  In this state, when a switch operation (for example, a power-on operation) is performed in the wireless remote controller 3 and the operation signal is received by the control unit 7 (Yes in step S1 in FIG. 4), the control unit 7 performs the main body operation unit 6. Is set to a sensitivity (low sensitivity) lower than the normal sensitivity (see step S2 in FIG. 4).

  Here, when the operation of the wireless remote controller 3 is performed, the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6 is lowered when the user operates the bathroom television system using the wireless remote controller 3 (for example, the subsequent operation (for example, Channel selection operation and volume adjustment operation) are also likely to be performed by the wireless remote control 3 (that is, the possibility that the main body operation unit 6 is operated is low), while the wireless remote control 3 is operated by the user. This means that you are near the monitor device 2 (in the bathroom), and there is a high possibility that foreign matter such as water or shampoo will adhere to the main unit operation unit 6 due to washing your hair. This is to prevent erroneous determination that there is an operation.

  For example, when the operation of the main body operation unit 6 is performed after the operation of the wireless remote controller 3 (for example, when a channel selection operation or a volume adjustment operation is performed), the control unit 7 receives the operation ( In step S3 in FIG. 4, the control unit 7 returns the acceptance sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6 to normal sensitivity (high sensitivity) (see step S4 in FIG. 4).

  That is, when the main body operation unit 6 is used, the subsequent operation is likely to be performed on the main body operation unit 6 side, so that the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6 is increased so that the operation can be easily received. Change the setting. As a result, the user can comfortably operate the main body operation unit 6 without poor reception even if the user presses the operation switch more strongly than necessary in the subsequent operation of the main body operation unit 6 or does not hold it down for a long time.

  If the user again performs an operation with the wireless remote controller 3, the determination in step S1 in FIG. 4 becomes affirmative, and the control unit 7 sets the reception sensitivity of the main body control unit 6 to a low sensitivity again (see FIG. 4). (See 4 step S2). The same applies to the case where the main body operation unit 6 is operated (see steps S3 and S4 in FIG. 4). Thus, in this embodiment, since the control part 7 is comprised so that the reception sensitivity of the main body operation part 6 may be set whenever it receives operation with the main body operation part 6 or the wireless remote control 3, Even when the user performs an operation at a part different from the previous operation, it is possible to prevent poor reception and erroneous determination of the main body operation unit 6 in response to the change of the operation part.

  When the user performs an operation for turning off the power of the bathroom television system (power-off operation) using the wireless remote controller 3 or the main body operation unit 6, the control unit 7 that has received the operation receives the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6. Is returned to normal sensitivity (high sensitivity) to enter a standby state.

  Thus, in the bathroom television system shown in the present embodiment, when the control unit 7 of the monitor device 2 receives an operation by the main body operation unit 6, the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6 is set to a predetermined high sensitivity, and the wireless remote controller is set. When the operation according to 3 is accepted, the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6 is set to a predetermined low sensitivity, so that a bathroom television system with less misjudgment due to foreign matter adhering to the main body operation unit 6 and poor reception is provided. be able to.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the normal sensitivity (high sensitivity) is used as the initial setting value of the control unit 7 is shown. However, the sensitivity (low sensitivity) lower than the normal sensitivity is used as the initial setting value. It is also possible to set so as to change to high sensitivity when an operation on the main body operation unit 6 is accepted.

  That is, in this case, since the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6 when the bathroom TV system is in a power-off state is set to low sensitivity, for example, the main body operation unit 6 is lightly touched when cleaning the bathroom. By the extent, the control unit 7 can be prevented from accepting the operation, and the malfunction of the bathroom television system can be prevented.

Embodiment 2
Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the second embodiment, a sensitivity (low sensitivity) lower than normal is set as an initial setting value of the control unit 7, and when the operation of the main body operation unit 6 is accepted by the control unit 7 in this state, the control unit 7 Sets the acceptance sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6 to normal sensitivity (high sensitivity). When a predetermined time elapses after the operation of the main body operation unit 6 is accepted (that is, after the reception sensitivity is set to high sensitivity) or the operation with the wireless remote controller 3 is performed within the predetermined time, The sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6 is configured to return to a low sensitivity which is an initial setting value.

  That is, in this embodiment, in addition to the operation of the main body operation unit 6 or the wireless remote controller 3 described in the first embodiment, the elapsed time from the sensitivity change is a condition as a condition for switching the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit. The

  Here, as the predetermined time, a relatively short time (for example, about several tens of seconds to several minutes) in which the switch operation is likely to be continuously performed can be used, and for example, watching TV while taking a bath A relatively long time (for example, about several tens of minutes to about 1 to 2 hours) can be set so as to cover the entire time.

  As in the case of the first embodiment, the present embodiment also reverses the initial setting value of the control unit 7 and sets, for example, normal sensitivity (high sensitivity) as the initial setting value of the control unit 7. In this state, when the operation of the wireless remote controller 3 is accepted by the control unit 7, the control unit 7 sets the acceptance sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6 to a sensitivity (low sensitivity) lower than normal. When a predetermined time elapses after the operation of the wireless remote controller 3 is accepted (that is, after the reception sensitivity is set to a low sensitivity), or the operation of the main body operation unit 6 is performed within the predetermined time, It is also possible to configure so that the sensitivity of the operation unit 6 is restored to the high sensitivity that is the initial setting value.

  Note that the above-described embodiments merely show preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these, and various design changes can be made within the scope thereof.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the sensitivity of the various operation switches 13 to 16 constituting the main body operation unit 6 is uniformly changed for the setting of the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6 has been described. It is also possible to change the reception sensitivity setting.

  That is, since the determination of whether or not the switch is operated in the control unit 7 is performed for each operation switch, for example, when the volume up switch 15a of the main body operation unit 6 is operated, the volume up switch 15a is continuously operated. Since there is a high possibility of being operated, the reception sensitivity is set to high sensitivity only for the volume up switch 15a, or only the volume up switch 15a and the volume down switch 15b for volume adjustment are set to high sensitivity. A switch can be set in advance, and only the switch can be set to high sensitivity, and the other operation switches can be set to low sensitivity.

  The acceptance sensitivity setting in the control unit 7 is performed by changing both the above-described switch determination reference value and the number of times of sampling exceeding the switch determination reference value (the predetermined number of sampling times). 6 may be configured to change the reception sensitivity, but it is also possible to change the reception sensitivity by changing only one of them.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where two types of sensitivity are set as the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6 has been described. However, the reception sensitivity is not limited to two levels, and can be set to three or more levels. For example, when the standard sensitivity is set as the initial setting value of the reception sensitivity, and the wireless remote controller 3 is operated, the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6 is a low sensitivity that is lower than the standard sensitivity (that is, it is difficult to accept switch operation). When the main body operation unit 6 is operated, the reception sensitivity of the main body operation unit 6 can be set to a higher sensitivity than the standard sensitivity (that is, switch operation can be easily received). 2 is the lowest sensitivity (the state in which the switch operation is most difficult to be accepted), and when the power switch 13 is in the on state, either the main body operation unit 6 or the wireless remote controller 3 is used. Depending on how, the high sensitivity and the low sensitivity set higher than the above minimum sensitivity can be switched.

  In the above-described embodiment, an infrared remote controller is used as the wireless remote controller 3, but a radio remote controller may be used as long as it is a wireless remote controller. In the above-described embodiment, the case where a capacitance type switch is used as the main body operation unit 6 is shown. However, as the switch of the main body operation unit 6, any other operation switch can be used as long as the reception sensitivity can be set. A switch of the embodiment can also be used. Furthermore, although the monitor apparatus 2 of the bathroom television system is used as the electric apparatus to which the present invention is applied in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and can of course be applied to other electric apparatuses.

It is explanatory drawing which shows schematic structure of the bathroom television system to which this invention is applied. It is explanatory drawing which shows the external appearance structure of the monitor apparatus of the bathroom television system.
