Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily set an arbitrary state corresponding to the passage of time and to transmit the set state at every unit time to the main body of an equipment by providing a means to set the arbitrary state corresponding to the passage of time continuously at every arbitrary unit time, display means and means to output data corresponding to the setting of states as transmitting signals. CONSTITUTION:This device is equipped with the display part and key parts, and the display part displays a horizontal axis 301 to show the passage of time and a vertical axis 302 to show the set states. By operating the key parts, a turn-on position is selected at every unit time at an intersectional part shown by the horizontal axis 301 and the vertical axis 302. Namely, the arbitrary state is set continuously corresponding to the passage of time at every arbitrary unit time, and data and set contents at intersections 303-309 shown by the horigontal axis 301 and the vertical axis 302 are outputted as the transmitting signals constituted as data corresponding to the passage of time at every unit time. Thus, the equipment such as an air conditionner, for example, can be arbitrarily controlled corresponding to the arbitrarily selected passage of time and the continuous changes of set states.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a remote controller and, more particularly, to the passage of time, the status setting at that time, and the output of the status setting contents to a transmission signal.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the prior art, the functions related to time built into a remote controller are setting of recording reservation start time and recording end time in the field of video tape recorders, and in the field of air conditioners. The air conditioning start time and the air conditioning end time were all set.

[0003]

In the field of air-conditioning equipment, for example, the conventional remote controller uses a liquid crystal display device or the like, displays the air-conditioning operation start time as an on-timer 101 as shown in FIG. The end time is displayed as the off timer 102, and the timer time is set by displaying 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 by the display method of 88:88. .. This Figure 1
Then, the time of the incoming timer 101 is 8:25, and the time of the off timer 102 is 21:30.

That is, regarding the movement of the air conditioning equipment main body, by receiving signals of the on timer time and the off timer time from the remote controller, the air conditioning equipment main body processes the received data to start / start the operation of the air conditioning equipment main body. The operation is ending.

Therefore, the maximum number of times that the timer can be set is one on-time timer and one off-time timer per day (24 hours).

That is, when considering a timer for one day (24 hours), there is a problem that only one set of combinations can be set.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to provide the progress of time, the status setting at that time, and the output of the status setting contents to a transmission signal.

[0008]

A remote controller according to the present invention comprises means for setting an arbitrary state with respect to a continuous time elapse of an arbitrary unit time, display means for the state setting, and the state setting. Is provided with a means for outputting continuous data corresponding to the above as a transmission signal.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As an example, the present invention relates to the field of air conditioning equipment.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the present invention. Display unit 20
1, there is a key portion 202, and this display portion 201 has a display of a horizontal axis 203 showing the passage of time and a vertical axis 204 showing the setting state. Further, by operating the key portion 202 at the intersection portion indicated by the horizontal axis 203 and the vertical axis 204, the lighting position of the mark 205 is selected for each unit time. It is possible to arbitrarily control the operating state of the air-conditioning equipment by the passage of time of the mark 205 indicating that it has been arbitrarily selected and the continuous change of the setting state content.

FIG. 3 shows details of the display contents of FIG. When the horizontal axis 301 indicates the passage of time and the vertical axis 302 indicates the state content, the horizontal axis 301 is a system showing the passage of time in units of one hour.

The vertical axis 302 is the operation stop, the set temperature is −2 ° C.,
Set temperature -1 ° C, set temperature, set temperature + 1 ° C, set temperature + 2 ° C. For example, when the key input is performed as shown in FIG. 3, the mark 303 indicates that the operation stop is selected from 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock before, and similarly, the mark 304 indicates from 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock before the set temperature -2 ° C. Choose to drive and mark 305 is 9
From the hour to 10 o'clock, it is selected to operate at the set temperature -1 ° C, mark 306 is selected to operate from 10 o'clock at the set temperature ± 0 ° C, and mark 307 is set temperature from 19:00 to before 20:00. The mark 308 indicates that the operation is performed at + 2 ° C., the mark 308 indicates that the set temperature is increased by 1 ° C. from 20:00 to 21:00, and the mark 309 indicates that the operation is stopped from 21:00.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a transmission signal format for outputting FIG. 3 as a transmission signal.

Reference numeral 401 is a start signal indicating the start of data, and 402 is composed of data indicating the operating state selected from 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock, and similarly 403 is 8
It is composed of data indicating the driving state selected from the hour to 9 o'clock, 404 is composed of data indicating the driving state selected from 9 o'clock to 10 o'clock, and 405 is the operating state selected from 10 o'clock to 11 o'clock. , 406
Is composed of data indicating the selected driving state from 19:00 to 20:00, 407 is composed of data indicating the selected driving state from 20:00 to 21:00, and 408 is selected from 21:00 to 22:00. 409 is an end signal that indicates the end of the data.
