Abstract

PURPOSE:To control an equipment by an optical pulse code from a monitor controller by sending the corresponding optical pulse code when a specific pushbutton tone signal is received from a cordless subordinate telephone set. CONSTITUTION:A cordless subordinate telephone set 1 is operated so that the subordinate telephone set 1 can connect with a telephone line 3. When a connected state is obtained, a pushbutton is pressed, and a registered pushbutton code is sent. Since a receiving part 12 is made into a receiving state at such a time, the part 12 demodulates a pushbutton signal. The pushbutton tone signal composed of the combination of plural frequencies is decided by a PB signal deciding part 14 and transmitted to a signal processing part 16. In the processing part 16, when the specific pushbutton code is received, a corresponding optical pulse signal is outputted, and the optical pulse code is sent from a light emitting part 19. An equipment 5 is operated by this signal.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1st
The figure shows an overall configuration diagram, and includes a cordless telephone main unit 2 connected to a telephone line 3, a cordless telephone hanger 1 that can communicate wirelessly with the cordless telephone main unit 2, and a cordless telephone hanger 1. The monitor controller 4 is configured to receive radio waves. Further, the optical pulse signal from this monitor controller 4 is used to control equipment 5 such as an air conditioner and a VTR. The optical remote controller 6 for the device is attached to the device 5, and is used to control the device 5 wirelessly.

Radio waves emitted from the cordless telephone receiver 1 are received by the cordless telephone accessory 2 as well as by the monitor controller 4. FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the monitor controller 4. A receiver 12 receives radio waves from the cordless telephone receiver 1 via an antenna 11 and demodulates them. By the way, there are examples in which the frequency and modulation method of radio waves emitted from cordless telephones are determined by regulations.

For example, Japan's low-power cordless telephones, the US's FCC
That is the standard. Therefore, the receiving frequency and modulation method (FM) of these cordless telephones are known. However, in reality, there are multiple transmission frequencies and a multi-channel system is adopted, so in order to capture the radio waves actually used among the known frequencies, the reception frequency control section 1
3 is used. This reception frequency control unit 13 constantly sweeps and monitors the frequency at which the cordless telephone unit 1 can transmit, and when the cordless telephone unit 1 transmits, it stops at that transmission frequency and brings the receiving unit 12 into the receiving state. It is something to do. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the frequencies that can be transmitted by the cordless telephone receiver 1 are sequentially monitored (a) in the figure, and when a transmitted wave is received, the sweep is stopped at that frequency to enter the receiving state.

The PB double signal determination 14 inputs the demodulated signal from the receiving section 12 and determines the push-button tone signal from the cordless telephone receiver 1. In the case of a push-button tone signal, the signal is sent to the signal processing section 16. send. Light receiving section 15
receives the optical pulse signal from the optical remote controller 6, and further sends the output of the light receiving section 15 to the signal processing section 16.
The optical pulse signal of the optical remote controller 6 and the push button tone signal of the cordless telephone receiver 1 are arranged to correspond to each other. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, a light pulse train generated when a certain button 6a of the optical remote controller 6 is pressed is received by the light receiving section 15, and sampled and stored by the signal processing section 16. At this time, a specific push button code is stored so as to correspond to a specific button on the optical remote controller 6.

This memory is stored in the memory 17 by pressing the storage button 20. In addition, information is entered from the operation unit 18 so that a specific push button code corresponds to it. Here, the push button code is set as an area number that is not normally connected even if a call is made, that is, it is an unused area number. . Figure 5 shows an example of settings;
) shows the case of the A button, and (b) of the same figure shows the case of the B button.

Next, the entire control device will be explained. First, the cordless telephone receiver 1 is operated so that the cordless telephone receiver 1 is connected to the telephone line 3. Once connected, press the pushbutton and send out the registered pushbutton code. At this time, the receiving section 12 is in the receiving state by the operation shown in FIG. 3, so it demodulates the push button tone signal. The goose button tone signal, which is composed of a combination of a plurality of frequencies, is determined by a PB double signal determination 14 and is transmitted to a signal processing section 16. Signal processing section 1
6, when a specific push button code is received, the corresponding optical pulse signal described above is outputted, and the light pulse code is sent out from the light emitting section 19. The device 5 operates based on this signal.

As described above, with this device, it is possible to easily control the device 5 using the button on the cordless telephone receiver 1.

Next, another embodiment of the reception frequency control section 13 will be described. The modulation method of the cordless telephone is the FM method, but the transmission frequency is not known other than those specified by regulations.Therefore, in this embodiment, the frequency of the cordless telephone to be used is searched and registered. The operation is performed by the reception frequency control section 13, and from then on, reception is performed at this frequency. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, registration is performed when the cordless telephone remote control 1 is transmitting waves, and the monitor controller 4 sweeps the receiving frequency over a wide range and searches for the frequency where the transmitting waves are present. and register. Here, the number of frequencies that the cordless telephone receiver 1 transmits is one, and that frequency is f.

Register. Note that the upper and lower limits of the sweep may be settable from the operation unit 18 if necessary. Further, since the overall operation is the same as above, the explanation will be omitted.
