Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent transmitted signals from being superscribed by fetching no signal concerning the switch operation when the signals are received from a main body equipment. CONSTITUTION:The data are stored in a remote control means 5 in response to the switch operation and based on the operating contents of an operating means 4. Then a mask processing means 7 does not fetch the signals designated by the data stored in a data storage means 6 and fetches only the undesignated signals when a receiver means 3 receives the signals from a main body equipment.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a remote control device for remotely controlling a gas water heater or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when remotely controlling a water heater main body with a plurality of remote controllers, a signal is transmitted from the main body to the remote controller by another remote controller operation until a signal is transmitted to the water heater main body after a switch operation by the remote controller. Was sent, all the signals were properly captured, and the remote control overwrote the switch operation signal that it was trying to send, so the switch operation signal was not sent, and the operation was invalid.

[0003]

However, such a remote control device has a problem that a signal may not be sent to the main unit even if a switch is operated. It was bad.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, so that a signal corresponding to a switch operation by another remote controller is not captured, a signal to be transmitted is not overwritten, and the operation content is accurately transmitted. The purpose is to

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a remote control device of the present invention has an operating means for operating and inputting a driving instruction signal to the main body equipment, a transmitting means for transmitting the operation instruction signal, and an equipment signal from the main body equipment. Receiving means for receiving the driving instruction signal, control means for generating a transmission signal upon receiving the operation instruction signal, and when the receiving means receives the equipment signal before the control means transmits the transmission signal to the transmission means, Rewriting of a transmission signal A mask for inputting, on a transmission signal stored in a control means, only data other than the specified content of a device signal according to data stored in a data storage means according to the transmission signal and data stored in the data storage means It is provided with a processing means.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the data corresponding to the driving instruction signal to be transmitted to the main equipment by the switch operation of the operating means is stored by the control means, and the operation instruction signal is transmitted after the switch operation. When a signal is received from the main body device, a signal stored and designated by the data storage means is not fetched, and only undesignated data is fetched. Since the designated signal is not overwritten by the reception, the signal intended to be transmitted can be transmitted by the switch operation.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a remote control device according to the present invention. The remote control device 1 is a transmission means 2 for wirelessly transmitting a signal to the water heater main body.
A receiving means 3 for wirelessly receiving a signal from the water heater main body, an operating means 4 for operating and inputting a driving instruction signal to the water heater main body by means of a switch, and data corresponding to the operation instruction signal input by operation. A remote controller controlling means 5 for transmitting to the transmitting means 2, and a data storing means 6 for storing the contents of the remote controller controlling means 5 for prohibiting the rewriting of the data of the remote controller controlling means 5 by a signal received from the receiving means 3 in advance. The mask processing means 7 for taking only unspecified data in the received signal in light of the data stored in the data storage means 6.
Consists of. The display unit 8 displays the content of the signal exchange with the main body of the water heater.

As shown in (Table 1) (a), the data corresponding to the driving instruction signal in the data storage means 6 is assigned a bit corresponding to the switch operation of each switch (not shown). If the operation switch of is operated, the data storage means 6 (Table 1) (b)
The driving bit is set as shown in. The packet signal between the main body of the water heater and the remote controller has the structure shown in (Table 2) (a).

[0010]

[Table 1]

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a water heater system using a remote controller. The A remote controller 10 and the B remote controller are remote controllers equipped with the means of the present invention. The main body device is the water heater main body 12, which is provided with the main body transmitting / receiving means 13 and exchanges signals with the remote controller. In the above configuration, when an automatic switch or the like is operated in the A remote controller 10, the remote controller control means 5 (Table 2).
The packet signal shown in (b) is obtained, and the bits of the mask area for automatic hot water filling are set in the data storage means 6 as shown in (Table 1) (c). When the packet signal shown in (Table 2) (C) is received from the water heater main body before the packet signal shown in (Table 2) (B) is transmitted, the mask area bit is set by the mask processing means 7. The data corresponding to is not imported and only the unspecified data is imported. The captured packet is (Table 2)
As shown in (d).

[0012]

[Table 2]

Since the packet signal is transmitted to the main body of the water heater by the transmitting means 2, the packet signal reflecting the operation of the automatic switch or the like is transmitted.

Therefore, according to the above-mentioned configuration, even if the signal which is to be transmitted to the main body device by the switch operation of the remote controller is received, the signal reflecting the contents of the switch operation is transmitted. To be done.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, the contents of the switch operation in which the rewriting by the received signal is desired to be stopped even when the signal is received from the main device before the operation device is operated by the switch and the transmission device transmits the signal. Can be transmitted.
