As a result, communication lines 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b, 13b, 23b Two-way communication is established via either one of 33b, 43b. When a two-way communication state is established between the transmission/reception slave units 13, 33 and the transmission/reception master unit 50, detection information of the human sensors 14, 34 is transmitted to the transmission/reception master unit 50 as a state signal in real time. become. As a result, the master transceiver 50 can recognize the presence of a person in the garage and the veranda 35 based on the detection information from the human sensors 14 and 34 .

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the mobile communication terminal. In FIG. 4, the mobile communication terminal 701 is an example of a screen showing an initial state in which the opening/closing body control remote controller application is activated. On the initial state screen of the mobile communication terminal 701, selection buttons such as "individual shutter", "all shutters in building", "shutter in building", and "garage shutter" are displayed.

The "individual shutter" selection button is selected to individually control the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4 shown in FIG. The "all shutters in building" selection button is selected when simultaneously controlling the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4 shown in FIG. The selection button of "inside building shutter" is selected when simultaneously controlling the window shutter devices 2 to 4 installed in the building among those shown in FIG. The "garage shutter" selection button is selected when controlling only the garage shutter device 1 shown in FIG.

A person mark indicating that a person exists in the garage is displayed on the "garage shutter" selection button. By visually recognizing this person mark, it is possible to recognize (visually recognize) the presence of a person in the garage. A selection button with a person mark may be displayed with shading or the like to indicate that it is not operable, and may be displayed so as to be distinguishable from other operable buttons. Further, a GPS mark indicating that the garage shutter device 1 is in the GPS-linked mode in which the opening/closing operation is performed in conjunction with the GPS of the mobile communication terminal 70 is displayed on the "garage shutter" selection button.

In FIG. 4, the mobile communication terminal 702 shows an example of a screen when the "individual shutter" selection button of the mobile communication terminal 701 displaying the initial state screen is operated. In the mobile communication terminal 702, as the names of devices capable of opening and closing control shown in FIG. ” is displayed.

The "garage shutter" selection button corresponds to the garage shutter device 1 shown in FIG. The selection button of "1st floor tall window shutter ST" corresponds to the standard type of the tall window shutter device shown in FIG. The selection button of the "2nd floor sweep window shutter ST" corresponds to the standard type of the sweep window shutter device 3 shown in FIG. The selection button of the "2nd floor tall window shutter SL" corresponds to the slit type of the tall window shutter device shown in FIG.

The "garage shutter" selection button displays a person mark indicating that there is a person in the garage in the same manner as on the screen of the mobile communication terminal 701, and is shaded to indicate that the operation is disabled. . In addition, a GPS mark indicating that the GPS interlocking mode is present is displayed on the selection button of "garage shutter". On the other hand, the person mark is not displayed on the selection button of "2nd floor sweep window shutter ST". This means that people are present in the garage, but no people are present on the veranda 35 .

As shown in FIG. 3, these correspondence relationships can be set in the master transmitter/receiver unit 50 when two-way communication between the slave units 13, 23, 33, and 43 and the master transmitter/receiver unit 50 is established. , and the set contents are displayed on the mobile communication terminal 70 . Therefore, instead of ``2nd floor sweep window shutter ST'' and ``2nd floor tall window shutter SL'', the names are easily understood, such as ``2nd floor ○○ room window shutter'' and ``2nd floor △△ room window shutter''. You may assign it so that it may be easy. In this way, the name assigned to the master transceiver 50 is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 70 via the access point 60, so there is no need to separately register the mobile communication terminal 70 in the master transceiver 50. By simply connecting the mobile communication terminal 70 to the 60, the mobile communication terminal 70 can be used to appropriately control each operation of opening, closing, or stopping the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2-4.

In FIG. 4, the mobile communication terminal 703 shows an example of a screen when the selection button of the device name "garage shutter" displayed on the mobile communication terminal 702 that can be controlled to open and close is operated. At the top of the display screen of mobile communication terminal 703, the name of the device that is currently being controlled is displayed, ``garage shutter''. , an operation button corresponding to each operation button for opening and closing is displayed. It should be noted that the screen of the portable communication terminal 703 does not display the person mark, indicating that no person is present in the garage.

In FIG. 4, mobile communication terminal 704 shows an example of a screen when the selection button of the device name "second floor sweep window shutter ST" displayed on mobile communication terminal 702 that can be controlled to open and close is operated. At the top of the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 704, the name of the device currently being controlled, "second floor sweep window shutter ST", is displayed. Buttons and operation buttons for ventilation and lighting for adjusting the amount of ventilation or the amount of lighting are displayed.

As described above, the operation button for ventilation lighting is a slit type with a DIP switch status signal "011" indicating the type of shutter of the tall window shutter device, so it is displayed to adjust the amount of lighting corresponding to this. It is an operation button specific to the slit-type shutter. Similarly, in the case of a blind type in which the DIP switch state signal indicating the shutter type is "101", the "ventilation lighting" operation button for adjusting the ventilation rate is displayed like the mobile communication terminal 704. will be Therefore, when the DIP switch state signal indicating the type of shutter is the standard type of "000" and "001", the "ventilation lighting" operation button is not displayed, and the opening and closing operation is performed like the portable communication terminal 703. Only each operation button for stop or halfway stop is displayed. In addition, even in the case of the standard type, the operation button of "ventilation lighting" may be displayed.

As described above, the name of the device that can be controlled to open and close displayed on the mobile communication terminal 702 is "garage shutter", "1st floor high window shutter ST", "2nd floor sweep window shutter ST", or "2nd floor high window shutter". SL" selection button is operated, the respective device names are displayed on the upper part of the display screen as shown on the mobile communication terminals 703 and 704, and the display screens of the mobile communication terminals 703 and 704 are used to operate the garage shutter device. 1 and any one of the window shutter devices 2 to 4 can be controlled to open/close, stop halfway, or control the amount of ventilation or the amount of daylight. In FIG. 4, the halfway stop operation button and the ventilation/lighting operation button of the garage shutter device 1 are not displayed, but they may be displayed.

When the selection button for "all shutters in building" is operated on the display screen of mobile communication terminal 701, the characters "all shutters in building" are displayed at the top of the display screen of mobile communication terminal 703. can be used to simultaneously (simultaneously) control the opening and closing of all the shutters. In addition, in the case of all the shutters in the building, only the opening and closing operations are performed, and the stop operation button cannot be operated. This is because the time required for the opening/closing operation of the opening/closing device differs between the tall window shutter and the sweeping window shutter, so that it is difficult for the operator to determine at what stage the operation will be stopped when the operation stops. In this embodiment, all the shutters in the building cannot be stopped. Of course, it goes without saying that all the shutters in the building or part of the shutters may be configured to be capable of being stopped. It should be noted that it may be possible to set such that only half or about one-third of the fully opened or fully closed state is in the open state or in the closed state.

When the selection button for "shutter inside the building" is operated on the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 701, "1st floor high window shutter ST", "2 A display screen of a mobile communication terminal 703 or 704 capable of operating "floor sweep window shutter ST" and "second floor high window shutter SL" is displayed. Each action can be controlled. In FIG. 1, the remote control switches 32 and 42 are wireless operating elements dedicated to the shutter device having only open/close buttons. In addition to the operation button, an operation button may be provided that can control each operation such as a midway stop and/or the amount of ventilation or the amount of lighting.

When the selection button for the garage shutter is operated on the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 701, the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 703 is displayed. You will be able to control each operation of

In the opening/closing control system shown in FIG. 1, a mobile communication terminal 70 other than the remote control switches 12, 22, 32, and 42 dedicated to the opening/closing body device is used to open/close the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4. Operation can be controlled accordingly. Further, since the master transceiver 50 and the mobile communication terminal 70 are connected via the access point 60 , only the mobile communication terminal 70 authenticated by WEP (WPA or WPA2 may be used) can connect to the master transceiver 50 . Since they are connected, high security can be constructed.

FIG. 5 shows remote control processing executed by the remote control switches 12, 22, 32, and 42 in the opening/closing control system of FIG. , 32 and 42. FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of transmission/reception processing performed by the master transceiver 50 with the slave transceivers 13, 23, 33, 43 and the mobile communication terminal 70 in the opening/closing control system of FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of transmission/reception processing executed between the mobile communication terminal 70 and the master transmission/reception device 50 in the opening/closing control system of FIG.

In FIG. 5, communication lines 1a, 2a, 3a, and 4a indicate transmission from remote control switches 12, 22, 32, and 42 to corresponding transceivers 13, 23, 33, and 43, respectively. In FIGS. 5 and 6, communication lines 3a and 3b indicate transmission from transmission/reception child devices 13, 23, 33, and 43 to transmission/reception master device 50, and communication lines 5b and 5c indicate transmission/reception from transmission/reception master device 50, respectively. Transmission to child devices 13, 23, 33 and 43 is shown. 6 and 7, communication lines 5a and 5d indicate transmission from the master transceiver 50 to the mobile communication terminal 70, and communication lines 7a and 7b indicate transmission from the mobile communication terminal 70 to the master transceiver 50. .

In FIG. 5, remote control switches 12, 22, 32, and 42 are connected to transmitter/receiver slave units 13, 23, 33, and 43 via corresponding communication lines 1a, 2a, 3a, and 4a. Sends an operation signal corresponding to the operation button of . Transmitting/receiving slave units 13, 23, 33, and 43 that have received operation signals via communication lines 1a, 2a, 3a, and 4a confirm IDs (id12, id22, id32, id42) included in the received operation signals. If they match, the process corresponding to the operation signal is executed.

Next, transmission/reception processing executed by the transmission/reception slave units 13, 23, 33, and 43 based on operation signals from the human sensors 14, 34, the transmission/reception master unit 50, and the remote control operation switches 12, 22, 32, and 42 will be described. .
In step S51, the transmitter/receiver slave units 13, 23, 33, and 43 detect the motion sensors 14 and 24 when there is a change in the state of the opening/closing body (opening/closing stop or halfway stop and ventilation lighting amount) that is the object of control. When the state changes, a state signal corresponding to each state is transmitted to the master transceiver 50 via the communication line 3a. In the case of the human sensors 14 and 24, when they are in a state of detecting a person, they transmit a signal indicating the detection state.

In step S52, it is determined whether or not the IDs included in the operation signals match. If they match (yes), the process proceeds to step S53, and if they do not match (no), the process returns. The operation signals in this step S52 are the operation signals from the remote control switches 12, 22, 32, 42 received by the transmission/reception slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 via the communication lines 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, and the operation signals transmitted and received. It includes both operation signals from the transmission/reception base unit 50 received by the subunits 13, 23, 33, and 43 via the communication lines 5b and 5c.

In step S53, the opening/closing control circuits 11, 21, 31, and 41 having the matching ID included in the received operation signal execute processing of opening/closing stop, halfway stop, or ventilation/lighting operation corresponding to the operation signal. The ID includes an individual ID and a common ID. The individual ID is assigned to each opening and closing member to be controlled, and the common ID is included in the operation signal from the master transceiver 50. It is assigned in common to all shutters in the building. Therefore, when the transmitter/receiver slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 receive an operation signal containing the common ID, all the switching control circuits 11, 21, 31, 41 process each opening/closing operation corresponding to the operation signal. to run. When all the shutters are operated at once (simultaneously) without providing a common ID, operation signals including respective individual IDs may be transmitted from the transmitter/receiver for the number of shutters.

In step S54, it is determined whether or not each operation of opening/closing stop, halfway stop, or ventilation lighting has been completed. If completed (yes), proceed to step S55; The process returns to S53 to continue the processing corresponding to the operation signal.
In step S55, it is determined whether or not the received operation signal is from the remote control switches 12, 22, 32, 42 via the communication lines 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a. If the operation signal from 42 is (yes), the process returns immediately, and if the operation signal is from the transmission/reception base unit 50 (no), the process proceeds to step S56.
In step S56, each switching control circuit 11, 21, 31, 41 sends an operation end signal indicating that the processing corresponding to the operation signal is completed via the transmitter/receiver slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 and the communication line 3b. It is transmitted to the transmission/reception base unit 50 .

In FIG. 6, the master transmitter/receiver 50 receives status signals and operation end signals via the communication line 3a and 3b, which are transmitted from the slave transmitter/receivers 13, 23, 33, and 43, respectively. Further, the master transceiver 50 receives an access signal transmitted from the portable communication terminal 70 via the communication line 7a and an operation instruction signal regarding all/individual shutters via the communication line 7b.
In step S61, the states of the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4 and the motion sensors 14 and 24 are detected based on the state signals received from the transceivers 13, 23, 33, and 43 via the communication line 3a. Record the detection status.
In step S62, in accordance with the access signal received from the mobile communication terminal 70 via the communication line 7a, the state of all the shutters such as the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4 recorded in step S61 is displayed. The state signal and the detection state of the human sensors 14 and 24 are transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 70 via the communication line 5a.

In step S63, it is determined whether or not an operation instruction signal has been received from the mobile communication terminal 70 via the communication line 7b. If not received (no), the process returns immediately. It is determined whether the instruction signal relates to all shutters or individual shutters. If it relates to an individual shutter, the process proceeds to step S64, and if it relates to all shutters, the process proceeds to step S65.

In step S64, operation signals relating to the individual shutters are transmitted to the transceiver units 13, 23, 33 and 43 via the communication line 5b. Since the operation signal related to the individual shutters transmitted via the communication line 5b includes the aforementioned individual ID, the transmitter/receiver slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 (garage shutter device 1 and window shutter) corresponding to this individual ID Devices 2 to 4) execute processing corresponding to the operation signal in step S53.

In step S65, operation signals regarding all the shutters are transmitted to the transceiver units 13, 23, 33, and 43 via the communication line 5c. If the above-described common ID is included in the operation signal related to all the shutters transmitted via the communication line 5c, all the transmitter/receiver slave units 13, 23, 33, and 43 that have received the common ID (Garage shutter device 1 and window shutter devices 2 to 4) execute processing corresponding to the operation signal in step S53.

In step S66, it is determined whether or not an operation end signal has been received from the transceivers 13, 23, 33, 43 via the communication line 3b. If (no), this determination process is repeated until an operation end signal is received.
In step S67, the transmission/reception base unit 50 transmits an operation end signal indicating that the process corresponding to the operation signal has ended to the mobile communication terminal 70 via the communication line 5d.

In FIG. 7, the mobile communication terminal 70 receives the status signal and the operation end signal via the communication line 5a and the communication line 5d, which are transmitted from the master transceiver 50, respectively. In addition, the mobile communication terminal 70 transmits an access signal to the master transceiver 50 via the communication line 7a in response to activation of application software that functions as a remote control switch for the opening/closing body.
In step S71, the controllable garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4 are open/stopped, stopped midway, and ventilated/lighted based on the state signal received from the master transceiver 50 via the communication line 5a. Also, the detection states of the human sensors 14 and 24 are displayed on the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 70 .

In step S72, an operation instruction signal for all the shutters such as the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4 or an operation instruction signal for individual shutters is transmitted to the master transceiver 50 via the communication line 7b. When the mobile communication terminal 70 is in the GPS-linked mode, the process corresponding to this GPS-linked mode is executed. Processing in this GPS-linked mode will be described later.
In step S73, it is determined whether or not an operation end signal has been received from the master transceiver 50 via the communication line 5d. This determination process is repeated until the end signal is received.
In step S74, the operation-instructed shutter open/close/stop, halfway stop, and ventilation/lighting states and the detection states of the motion sensors 14 and 24 are displayed on the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 70, and the process returns.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where individual shutters are grouped, such as all shutters and shutters inside a building, is explained as an example. One or more of the possible individual shutters can be arbitrarily grouped and controlled.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a connection relationship between a mobile communication terminal and a vehicle. As described above, by selecting and operating the "GPS" operation button of the mobile communication terminal 703 in FIG. 4, the GPS function of the mobile communication terminal is used to shift to the GPS interlocking mode in which the opening/closing operation of the garage shutter device 1 is executed. .

A vehicle 90 is equipped with an in-vehicle automatic opening/closing remote controller 91 inserted into a USB or power socket. The in-vehicle automatic open/close remote controller 91 is a portable remote controller that can operate the shutter of the garage shutter device even from inside the vehicle, and has the same function as the remote control switch 12 . This in-vehicle automatic opening/closing remote controller 91 has a function of connecting with a short-range wireless communication function installed in the portable communication terminal 70 . Specifically, the in-vehicle automatic opening/closing remote controller 91 is equipped with Bluetooth (registered trademark). The portable communication terminal 70 is authenticated by the in-vehicle automatic opening/closing remote controller 91 . When the vehicle 90 itself is equipped with Bluetooth (registered trademark), the mobile communication terminal 70 is authenticated by the vehicle 90 by connecting the Bluetooth (registered trademark) installed in the vehicle with the mobile communication terminal 70. It will be. Here, the fact that the mobile communication terminal 70 is connected to the vehicle or the like by Bluetooth (registered trademark), which is a short-range wireless communication function, means that the mobile communication terminal 70 is brought into the vehicle 90 . Since the mobile communication terminal 70 is brought into the vehicle 90, the mobile communication terminal 70 moves together with the movement of the vehicle 90. - 特許庁

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of processing in the GPS-linked mode of the mobile communication terminal. When an operator carrying the mobile communication terminal 70 gets into the vehicle 90 equipped with the in-vehicle automatic opening/closing remote control 91, the mobile communication terminal 70 executes the following linked mode processing.
In step S91, the vehicle 90 based on the GPS of the mobile communication terminal 70 locates an address registered in advance in the mobile communication terminal 70, that is, a predetermined radius (for example, 500 [m]) centered on the installation position of the garage shutter device 1. It is determined whether or not it has passed, and if it has passed the predetermined radial position (yes), the process proceeds to the next step, and if it has not passed, the process returns. This predetermined radial position can be appropriately set within a range of 100 meters to several kilometers. Since there is a difference in the time it takes to reach the garage after passing through a given radial position between urban and suburban areas, it can be set in units of several hundred meters for urban roads and several kilometers for suburban roads. It is preferable to enable setting in units.

In step S92, since the in-vehicle automatic opening/closing remote controller 91 serves as the authentication device, an application is made to the in-vehicle automatic opening/closing remote controller 91 for permission. That is, the mobile communication terminal 70 connects to the in-vehicle automatic opening/closing remote controller 91 .
In step S93, it is determined whether or not the in-vehicle automatic opening/closing remote controller 91 has been authenticated. If authenticated (yes), the process proceeds to the next step S94, and if not authenticated (no), the process proceeds to step S95. That is, it is determined whether or not the portable communication terminal 70 is connected to the in-vehicle automatic opening/closing remote controller 91 .

In step S94, the GPS interlocking function is activated and the garage shutter device 1 is instructed to open and close. As shown in FIG. 1, when the master transceiver 50 and the mobile communication terminal 70 are connected via the access point 60, the mobile communication terminal 70 is used to control each operation of opening and closing the garage shutter device 1. can do. However, when the distance between the mobile communication terminal 70 and the access point 60 is long and Wi-Fi communication cannot be performed, the mobile communication terminal 70 connects to the access point 60 via mobile communication and the Internet. Therefore, the garage shutter device 1 can be controlled by remote control. When the vehicle 90 comes home from outside and enters the garage, the portable communication terminal 70 transmits an open signal to the garage shutter device 1 when the vehicle 90 enters within a predetermined radius, and the vehicle 90 is moved out. In the case of leaving the garage at , a closing signal is transmitted to the garage shutter device 1 when the vehicle 90 reaches outside the predetermined radius. When the vehicle 90 leaves the garage, the closing signal may be transmitted to the garage shutter device 1 when the connection between the transmitter/receiver slave unit 13 and the in-vehicle automatic opening/closing remote controller 91 is interrupted.

Note that the predetermined radius when the vehicle 90 returns home from outside and enters the garage and the predetermined radius when the vehicle 90 leaves the garage to go out may be the same or different values. good too. For example, the predetermined radius for entering may be about 500 to 1000 [m], and the predetermined radius for leaving may be about 100 to 200 [m]. In the case of leaving the garage, the opening/closing body may be closed when the vehicle 90 has passed the garage shutter device 1 .

In step S95, it is determined whether or not the authentication confirmation in step S92 has been performed X times (for example, 3 to 5 times). The process of step S93 is repeated.
In the garage shutter device 1, when the operator carrying the portable communication terminal 70 gets into the vehicle 90 and starts the engine, the shutter may be automatically opened immediately. In this case, there is no need to operate the mobile communication terminal 70 or the remote control, and the standby time for opening the shutter can be greatly shortened. As described above, in the present invention, the "manipulator operation" is not limited to the operation such as pressing the operation button of the remote control switch 12, which is the manipulator means, but also the operation such as starting the engine of the vehicle 90. This includes not only indirect operation, that is, active operation of a device such as a remote control, but also a case in which a control signal is output in response to an indirect operation or the like. In addition, in this embodiment, the case of authentication using the in-vehicle automatic opening/closing remote controller 91 has been described. Processing may be continued assuming that the device is authenticated at the time of connection with these Bluetooth (registered trademark) functions.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the passage of the vehicle 90 is determined based on the address registered in advance in the mobile communication terminal 70, that is, the predetermined radial position centered on the installation position of the garage shutter device 1 has been described. , the address position of the building, the installation position of the master transceiver 50 or the opening/closing control circuit 11 may be specified as a center.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case of determining whether or not the vehicle 90 has passed a predetermined radial position has been described, but a predetermined point (such as an intersection or the position of a building) is set on the road. , it may be determined whether or not the vehicle 90 has passed through this point.
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the operation of the garage shutter device 1 is controlled when the vehicle passes through the predetermined position has been described. Based on the measured time, the operation of the garage shutter device 1 is controlled after a predetermined time (for example, 20 to 30 seconds) after the vehicle 90 passes a predetermined position. good too. For example, when the vehicle enters the garage about one minute after passing the predetermined position, the garage shutter device 1 is controlled to perform the opening operation about 30 seconds after passing the predetermined position. As a result, the garage shutter device 1 is fully opened at the time of warehousing, enabling smooth warehousing.

In the case where safety is given priority as in the garage shutter device 1, when a close signal is received during the opening operation of the shutter curtain, the operation instruction due to the reception of the close signal is ignored, the opening operation is continued, and the shutter is opened. The closing operation may be started only when the close button is operated while the curtain is stopped. Furthermore, when a close signal is received after the shutter curtain is fully open, the closing operation may be started immediately, or the close signal is not received until a predetermined time (arbitrarily settable) has elapsed after the shutter curtain is fully open. You can ignore it. Further, it is also possible to store the fact that the closing signal has been received, and reflect the reception of the closing signal after a predetermined time has elapsed after the completion of the full opening. Further, when such an operation signal is generated by the dedicated remote control operation switch 12, the instruction by the operation signal may be executed as it is. This is because when a signal is received from the dedicated remote control operation switch 12, it is often appropriate to give priority to the operation of the operator because the operator is always there.
