Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a remote control system such as an air conditioner.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 2, a remote control system for an air conditioner has a remote control device A'comprising a command input device 1 ', a judgment device 2'and a transmission device 3', and a receiving device 4 ', The air conditioner B'comprises a memory device, a judgment device 5 ', and a drive device 6', and when the user inputs a desired state to the remote control device A'by means of the command input device 1 '. The judging device 2'transmits the state by the transmitting device 3 ', and the air conditioner B'received by the receiving device 4'is operated by the driving device 6'according to the contents received by the judging device 5'. It was a system to do.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the command to operate the air conditioner B ′ is
It is necessary to set various values such as temperature and air volume that are considered to be comfortable, and the feeling of comfort will vary depending on the size of the room, age of the user, sex, individual differences, outside air conditions, etc. This is a very complicated operation because each person needs to make various settings.

It is an object of the present invention to enable anyone to easily operate the operability of such an air conditioner, which has complicated operation due to different operating conditions due to individual differences.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air conditioner equipped with a storage device that stores optimum operating states in several types according to the age and environment of the user. , A tag displaying a number and its existence, a device for holding the tag, and a remote control device equipped with a device for detecting the number of the tag and its existence.

Operation With this configuration, the user selects his / her favorite tag and installs it in the remote control device to transmit the existence and number of the tag to the air conditioner, and perform the operation according to each.

Embodiment An embodiment of a remote control system for an air conditioner according to the present invention is shown in FIG.

That is, there are seven card-shaped tags 1a to 1g expressing the name of the room and the age group of the user, for example, "living room", "bedroom", "child's room", etc. It is displayed. The display method is based on the principle that white paint 2 is painted in a square shape on a black background, and it is detected as 1 for white and 0 for black due to the difference in reflectance. According to the decimal system, 000 has no bill, then 0
01 is number 1 and 010 is number 2, and 111 to number 7 can be detected.

Next, A is a remote control device, which comprises a holding device 3 for the cards 1a to 1g, a device 4 for detecting the number of the cards, a command input device 5, a judging device 6, and a transmitting device 7 for holding the card 1a. Three
When the card is inserted into the card and inserted,
It is read as 0, that is, number. The judgment device 6 which is a microprocessor or the like receives the value from the detection device 4 and drives the transmission device 7. This transmitter 7 modulates infrared light by a light beam system and transmits it. If the tag 1a is attached to the holding device 3 and set on the remote control device A, the command input device 5 is hidden and invisible by the tag 1a, and the user does not operate the switch of the command input device 5. I understand that it is good.

Reference numeral B denotes an air conditioner, which comprises a receiving device 8, a storage device 9, a judging device 10, and a driving device 11. The receiving device 8 is an infrared ray sensitive type and receives a signal sent from the transmitting device 7, and receives it from a microprocessor or the like. It is decoded by the judging device 10. For example, if a signal of a bill number is sent, the determination device 10 goes to read the operation mode stored in the storage device 9, drives the drive device 11 according to the operation mode, sets the temperature setting, the air volume, etc. It is something that you drive.

If the tags 1a to 1g are not inserted in the remote control device, 000 is detected and it is transmitted that there is no tag. In this case, the air conditioner B is operated according to the instruction such as the temperature setting and the air volume setting input by the command input device 5.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As is apparent from the above description, the remote control device for an air conditioner according to the present invention has a plurality of tags having identification means such as numbers and displaying operation mode names, and a holding device for the tags, An identification means detection device for detecting the content of the identification means of the bill, a tag holding detection device for detecting that the bill is held in the holding device, a transmission device for transmitting a signal in accordance with a signal from the identification means detection device, And a remote operation device having a command input device that is composed of a plurality of operation units for instructing operation contents and has at least a part covered by the card in a state where the card is held by the holding device, and the remote operation device. A receiving device that receives a signal from a transmitting device, a storage unit that stores a plurality of operation contents, and which operation content of the storage unit is selected based on the signal received by the receiving device By providing a determination device for determining whether to perform the operation and a drive device driven by the operation content selected by the determination device, the environment such as the size of the installation place of the air conditioner, and the age and activity of the user By simply selecting the tag according to the condition, etc., it is extremely easy to obtain the air conditioning suitable for the environment of the installation site and the user.

Further, since the bill is provided with the identification means and only the operation mode name is shown and the control contents are not stored, even if there are a plurality of bills, they can be stored in a small space. It does not become expensive, and does not impose a heavy burden on the user even if it is lost or damaged.

Moreover, since the command input device that does not need to be operated by mounting the tag can be covered up, erroneous operation and hesitation at the time of operation can be suppressed as much as possible, leading to improvement in operability.

In addition, since the operation mode name is displayed on the tag held by the remote control device at the user's hand, it is easy to check the operation mode and prevent the air conditioner from operating in the wrong operation mode. Is what you can do.
