Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an identification code registration device for registering an identification code in a communication device which determines the sender and the receiver by using the identification code.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a communication device, a transmitting side is considered as a radio wave remote controller (hereinafter referred to as a remote controller), and a receiving side is considered as a television remotely operated by the remote controller. Unlike optical systems such as infrared, the remote control of the radio system can be operated through the wall even from the next room as long as the radio wave can reach. However, since the same type of remote control transmits the same signal format, if there are multiple TVs of the same model within the reach of radio waves, the remote control will simultaneously operate all of those televisions.

Therefore, each remote controller is provided with a different identification code, and this identification code is attached to a radio signal and transmitted. On the other hand, the identification code of the remote control of the other party is registered in the television in advance, and when the radio signal from the remote control is received, the identification signal attached to the remote control matches the identification code of the remote control of the other party. After confirming that, perform the processing. In this way, interference is prevented by using the identification code to confirm one's own communication partner. However,
For that purpose, it is premised that the identification code of the remote controller is registered in the television in advance. Conventionally, the identification code is generally registered at the time of manufacturing. Further, when the identification code is registered or changed under the user's side, the registration is performed individually by switch setting or the like on the transmitting side and the receiving side of the communication device. Although the wireless communication is taken as an example here, the point that the communication partner must be registered is the same in the wired communication in which a plurality of devices use the same line in the same signal format.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, it is difficult and troublesome to replace or add one of the communication devices already used by the user. In the method of registering the identification code at the time of manufacturing, the equipment having the fixed communication device cannot be brought back to the factory and cannot be re-registered. In addition, in the method of individually registering by setting switches on the transmitting side and the receiving side of the communication device, if there are a plurality of receiving sides in the communication device, it is necessary to re-register individually, which is very troublesome. Registration work is also easy to make mistakes.

Once the wrong identification code is registered, the original communication partner cannot communicate. If there is no intention to register and the registration work is mistakenly performed and an incorrect identification code is registered, the previously registered identification code will be overwritten. Therefore, it is necessary to register the identification code accurately, and also to prevent accidental registration work even if there is no intention to register.

The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and accurately registers the identification code of the communication partner without moving or making contact with the receiving side of the communication device, and the registration operator confirms it. This is the purpose.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the identification code registration device of the present invention includes a signal transmission section for transmitting a registration signal composed of a transmission side code and a reception side code to a receiver.
A response signal receiving unit that receives a response signal from the receiver is compared with the transmission side code and the transmission side identification code in this response signal, and the reception side identification code is compared with the reception side code in this response signal. And a transmitter equipped with a transmitter comparison unit that outputs a registration completion signal when they both match, a receiver code registration unit that stores the receiver code of the receiver, and a signal that receives a registration signal from the transmitter. A receiving unit, a receiving side comparing unit that outputs the transmitting side code when the receiving side code and the receiving side code in this signal are matched, and a transmitting side code registration unit that registers this transmitting side code; The receiver is provided with a response signal transmitting unit that creates a response signal and transmits the response signal to the transmitter.

The transmitter is provided with an input unit for inputting a transmission side code and storing it in the transmission side code registration unit.

[0009]

According to the present invention, according to the above configuration, in the transmitter, the signal transmitting unit registers the identification code of the transmission side of the communication device to be newly registered as the transmission side code and the identification code of the other party to be registered as the reception side code. Create and send a signal. The receiver that received this registration signal compares the reception side code in the registration signal with the reception side code of the receiver by the reception side comparison unit, and when they match, transmits the transmission side code in the registration signal. Register in the side code registration unit. As described above, the transmission side code can be registered without moving or contacting the reception side of the communication device.

Further, the receiver transmits to the transmitter a response signal composed of a transmitter code and a receiver code. In the transmitter that receives this response signal, the communication side comparison unit determines whether the transmission side code and the reception side code in the response signal match the previously transmitted transmission side code and reception side code, respectively, and they both match. When this is done, a registration completion signal is output. In this way, the transmitter confirms that the registration is normally performed.

Further, since the transmitter inputs the transmitter code from the transmitter code input section, the transmitter code to be registered in the receiver can be freely set.

The present invention is a transmitter 1 for transmitting a registration signal including a transmission side code to be newly registered and a reception side code for designating a receiving party to register this transmission side code and receiving a response signal.
And a receiver 2 that receives a registration signal from the transmitter 1, registers the transmission side code therein, and transmits a response signal. A receiver 2 is provided on the receiving side of the communication device, and registration is performed from the transmitter 1 through the receiver 2.

The transmitter 1 includes a transmission side code registration section 3a, a reception side code registration section 4a, an input section 5, a signal transmission section 6 as a transmission system, a response signal reception section 7 and a transmission side comparison section 8 as a reception system.
And a display unit 9a. Transmission side code registration unit 3
a stores the transmitter code. The reception side code registration unit 4a stores the reception side code input from the input unit 5. The signal transmission unit 6 creates and transmits a registration signal from the transmission side code and the reception side code. The response signal receiving unit 7 receives the response signal from the receiver 2 and extracts the reception side code and the transmission side code. The transmitting side comparing unit 8 stores the received transmitting side code in the transmitting side code storage unit 3
The received code on the receiving side is compared with the code on the transmitting side of a, and the received code on the receiving side is compared with the code on the receiving side of the receiving code storage unit 4a. The display unit 9a receives this signal and displays that the registration is completed.

The receiver 2 includes a transmission side code registration section 3b, a reception side code registration section 4b, a signal reception section 10 and a reception side comparison section 11 as a reception system, and a response signal transmission section 12 as a transmission system.
And a display unit 9b. Receiving side code registration unit 4b
Stores in advance the identification code of the receiver 2 itself. The signal receiving unit 10 receives the registration signal and extracts the transmission side code and the reception side code. The receiving side comparing section 11 compares the received receiving side code with the receiving side code of the receiving side code storage section 4b and outputs the transmitting side code when they match. The transmission side code registration unit 3b receives and registers this transmission side code, and outputs a registration completion signal when the storage is completed. The display unit 9b receives and displays this signal. The response signal transmission unit 12 creates and transmits a response signal from the transmission side code and the reception side code. The identification code registered in the transmission side code registration unit 3b is output to the reception side of the communication device as the identification code of the communication partner.

The operation of the identification code registration device having the above structure will be described. In the transmitter 1, the signal transmission unit 6 uses the identification code of the transmission side of the communication device to be newly registered as the transmission side code and the identification code of the other party to be registered as the reception side code.
Creates and sends a registration signal. The receiver 2 which has received this registration signal determines whether the reception side code in the registration signal matches the reception side code of the reception side code storage unit 4b.
Are compared, and when they match, the transmission side code in the registration signal is registered in the transmission side code registration unit 3b. As described above, the transmission side code can be registered as a communication partner without moving or contacting the reception side of the communication device.

Further, the receiver 2 transmits a response signal composed of a transmission side code and a reception side code to the transmitter. In the transmitter 1 that has received this response signal, the transmission side comparison unit 8 determines whether the transmission side code and the reception side code in the response signal match the previously transmitted transmission side code and reception side code, respectively. When both match, a registration completion signal is output. In this way, it is possible to confirm at the transmitter that the registration has been performed normally.

In this embodiment, a transmitter and a receiver, which are identification code registration devices, are provided on the transmission side and the reception side of the communication device, respectively. By including the function of the device, for example, in the remote controller of the television, the signal transmitter may be shared with the transmitter of the remote controller (communication device).

Further, in the above embodiment, the transmitter code registered in the receiver 2 is only the code stored in the transmitter code registration section 3a of the transmitter 1, but this can be freely set. May be The transmitter 1 receives a transmission side code from the outside through the input unit, stores it in the transmission side code registration unit 3a, and outputs it from the signal transmission unit 6. The transmitter 1 sets the transmission side code and the reception side code of the communication device at will to set the reception side 2
It is an identification code registration device that can be registered in. It is dangerous to permanently install the identification code registration device in the communication device. This is because, if the user mistakenly performs the registration work and has registered an incorrect identification code even though there is no intention to register, the previously registered identification code will be overwritten.
Therefore, if only an expert possesses an identification code registration device capable of registering any identification code, and a registration operation is performed using this, erroneous registration can be reduced.

At this time, the input section of the transmitter 1 is a code reader such as a bar code reader. By inputting the identification code as a bar code, the identification code can be input very accurately, quickly and easily, and an input error of the identification code can be prevented. Moreover, since there is no identification code displayed in a special form such as a bar code, the identification code cannot be entered. It is possible to prevent rewriting of the transmission side code registered in the reception side. If the serial numbers of the communication devices are used as the identification code, the same identification code does not exist, and the identification code of the other party to be registered is easily known, which is convenient. If the upper digits of the identification code are common to the type of communication device, the manufacturer, etc. and the lower digits are used to distinguish from others, the upper digits are stored in the storage unit. A method of inputting only a few digits from the outside may be used.

As described above, the present invention may be used for wireless communication or wired communication, and is effective for communication partner registration of a communication device in which a plurality of devices use the same line in the same signal format.
