[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention is applicable to on/off control of electric locks on windows and entrances of homes;
Relates to equipment that performs on/off control of electric lights, on/off control of air conditioners, etc.'}{E device.

(Prior Art) The above-mentioned HE device includes a base unit that outputs signals to turn on and off devices such as electric locks and air conditioners individually, and receives a detection signal for each device to turn on and off, and the base unit. It is composed of a display section that captures and displays the on/off detection signal of the device output from the controller, and a controller that has an operation section that commands the on/off of the device.
The controller is installed in the living room or bedroom, and it is now possible to centrally check and control the on/off status of electric locks, air conditioners, and other devices from those locations.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, as mentioned above, this HE device is operated from a fixed location such as the living room or bedroom, and not only can it not be controlled from anywhere else, but even in the living room or bedroom, it cannot be controlled from any surface such as the wall on which it is installed. I couldn't operate it unless I got close to it.

The purpose of the present invention is to control keys, electric lights, etc. at any location.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a HE device capable of i'* authentication.

[Means to solve the problem]

To this end, the present invention provides a base unit that outputs signals to turn on/off devices such as electric locks and air conditioners separately, and also captures the on/off detection signals of each of the devices, and a base unit that outputs the above signals from the base unit. In an HE device comprising a controller having a display section that takes in and displays a detection signal for turning on/off the device, and an operation section for instructing the device to turn on/off, the display section of the controller is monitored by an LCD, and the A device in which the installation floor plan of the device and an on/off mark for the device are displayed on the display, the operation portion is configured as a touch panel on the display, and the base unit and the controller are connected by weak radio waves. It is.

〔Example〕

Examples of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a controller A in the form of a liquid crystal TV device according to one embodiment, FIG. 2 is an internal block diagram thereof, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a base unit B.

First, the controller A of this embodiment includes an LED (liquid crystal display panel) 1, a transparent touch panel 2 that tightly covers the top surface of the LCD 1, a TV key 301, and a HE key 30.
2. Channel increase/decrease key 303, volume increase/decrease key 304,
and an operation section 3 on which a power key 305 and the like are arranged. 4 is an antenna.

Inside, there is a TV receiving circuit 5 that takes in TV broadcast waves received by the antenna 4 and performs channel selection, video playback, audio playback volume settings, etc., a speaker 6 that plays audio, and an H
HE that takes in the E signal from antenna 4 and detects and demodulates it.
A receiving circuit 7, an HE transmitting circuit 8 that modulates an HE signal for controlling the equipment and sends it to the antenna 4, a control section 9 consisting of a microcomputer that controls the whole, and an LCD 1.
It has a pattern generator 10 that generates a pattern for display on the TV, and a switch that switches between the video signal from the TV receiving circuit 5 and the video signal from the control section 9.

The main unit B inputs detection signals from each sensor that detects the on/off state of each device such as an electric lock, and also has a main unit main body 12 that outputs a control signal to control the on/off of each device, The HE transmitting circuit 13 transmits the on/off signal detected by the sensor to the controller A using weak radio waves, and the HE transmitting circuit 13 receives the equipment control signal arriving from the controller A using weak radio waves, detects and demodulates it, and sends it to the main unit l2. H to import
It has an E receiving circuit 14 and an antenna l5.

Now, in the operation section 3 of the controller A, press the power key 30.
4 to turn on the power, and then operate the TV key 301, the contents of those operations are taken into the control section 9 and processed, so that the entire device functions as a television receiver.

At this time, the switch 11 is switched to the TV receiving circuit 5 side by the control unit 9, and the control unit
performs channel selection and volume setting of the TV receiver ε circuit 5. Therefore,
TV received by antenna 4 and tuned by TV reception circuit 5
Broadcast images are displayed on the LCD 1, and audio is played back on the speaker 6.

Next, if you operate the HE key 302 on the operation unit 3,
The operation details are taken into the control unit 9 and processed, and the HE
At the same time as receiving the }iE signal from the receiving circuit 7, the switch 11 is switched to the control section 9 side. Then, the control unit 9 takes in the pattern data from the pattern generator 10 and causes it to be displayed on the LCD 1.

At this time, the menu screen shown in FIG. 4 is first displayed. Then, by touching with a finger, one of the four menus is selected. Here, for example, "annex"
Touch.

As a result, the touch is detected by the touch panel 2 and input to the control unit 9. Based on this, the floor plan of the "separate building" as shown in FIG. An O mark 25 is displayed. and,
In the display of these devices, if the device is turned on, the ○ mark will be displayed in red (on mark), and if it is off, it will be displayed in blue (off mark).

The ◯ marks indicating the above-mentioned floor plans and equipment are registered in advance in the pattern generator 10 and displayed. Also, ○
The distinction between red and blue in the marked part is made by receiving the on/off information of each device transmitted from base unit B shown in FIG. indicate.

Therefore, the color of the circle displayed on the LCD 1 indicates the current on/off state of the device such as the electric lock.

As described above, it is possible to determine whether the equipment in the "separate building" is on or off, so if you then touch the O-marked area shown in FIG. 5, it will be detected by the touch panel 2. This detection signal is then taken into the control unit 9,
Furthermore, it is output to the HE transmitting circuit 8. This HE transmitting circuit 8
transmits the weak radio waves carrying the touch information mentioned above to the antenna 4.
Send from. Therefore, the above-mentioned base unit B takes in this touch information via the HE receiving circuit 14, and turns off the touched device marked with O if it is currently on, or turns it on if it is currently off.

As a result, the switching of the on/off state is detected by the sensor and captured in the base unit main body 12, so the switching information is transmitted from the base unit B by weak radio waves, and the HE
The receiving circuit 7 receives this and causes it to be taken into the control section 9, and based on this, the color of the part marked with a circle in FIG. 5 changes.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, since the controller is connected to the base unit by weak radio waves, the controller can be operated at any location within the range of the radio waves.

In addition, during this operation, the floor plan, equipment location, etc. can be displayed on the LCD.
Since the information is displayed on the top of the screen, the status of the device can be clearly understood and can be controlled as desired.
