Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operation function by transmitting each function with a three-dimensional motion detected by a gyro incorporated in a remote controller main body, a signal obtained from a switch which detects the grip of the main body, and a select switch input. CONSTITUTION:The remote controller main body is provided with a gyro 1, a grip switch 3, and an item selecting switch 4. The gyro 1 outputs x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis acceleration components to a microcomputer 2, and the microcomputer 2 outputs information of acceleration components from the remote controller when the grip switch 3 of the remote controller main body is turned on (firmly gripped). Consequently, movement of the remote controller main body is interlocked with movement of a selected part of the screen of a television or the like; and when an objective position is selected, the final selection is performed by depressing the select switch 4, continuously depressing it, or depressing and moving it. Thus, an operator can operate the remote controller switching seeing the remote controller main body while seeing the screen.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a remote control system, and particularly to operating functions.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in remote control systems, when the number of functions increases, the number of remote control keys also increases, or if it is not possible to increase the number of remote control keys, multiple functions are added to any key and the contents of the key functions are listed. was displayed.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional remote control described above has an increased number of keys and multiple functions are added to any key, so it requires complex key manual operations to select the desired operation manually. When executing the system, it is difficult to know where the desired key is, or even if the key is found, it is difficult to know how to operate it. In addition, there are also drawbacks such as the need for a remote control for each device because of different jobs, and the increase in functionality that makes the old remote control unusable and the need for a new remote control.

[Means to solve the problem]

The remote control system of the present invention includes a gyro that detects movement of the remote control body, a switch that detects the grip condition of the remote control body, and a selection switch that makes the final selection of an item.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present invention has a gyro 1 in a remote control body, a grip switch 3 on the remote control body, and a switch for selecting an item.
The acceleration components of the y and z axes are output to the microcomputer 2. When the grip switch 3 on the remote controller body is turned on (if it is strongly gripped), the microcomputer 2 outputs information on the acceleration component from the remote controller. Thereby, the movement of the remote control body is linked to the movement of the selected location on the screen of the television or the like. When the target location is selected, the final selection is made by pressing the selection switch 4, continuing to press it, or moving while pressing it.

FIG. 2 is an example of an application using an embodiment of the present invention. The screen 7 is each screen that appears on a TV or the like, and when you move the remote control main body 6 in the y-axis, the screen 7 changes, and when the desired screen is reached, an X is displayed.

Any item on the screen can be selected on the z-axis.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, the content of the work and how to proceed with the operation can be displayed on the screen by moving the remote control body, gripping condition, and operating a single button. Therefore, operations can be performed while looking at the screen without looking at the remote control body. It ends up. When increasing the number of functions, it is only necessary to increase the display contents of function 1 on the receiving side, and there is no need to increase the number of keys on the remote control body or to increase the explanation content on the remote control body as in the past. This has the effect of eliminating the problem of increasing the size of the remote control body due to an increase in the number of keys and explanatory texts.
