Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] It is possible to set ID codes for a large number of remote control devices [Configuration] The ID code setting device in this remote control device includes a power supply 16, a plurality of keys 10, and a microcomputer 11 including a memory 11A. And a signal obtained by simultaneously operating two elements including at least one key is stored in the memory as an ID code.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an ID code setting device in a remote control device.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, when a game device uses a plurality of remote control devices, in the controlled device, a Dip switch or a slide switch is provided in a microcomputer incorporated in the remote control device to identify which remote control device the received signal is from. I used to set the ID code in hardware. 2 and 3 show the configuration of a typical conventional remote control device. FIG. 2 shows a type of remote control using ultrasonic waves or radio waves, and FIG. 3 shows a case of remote control using light such as infrared rays.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the above-mentioned conventional remote control device, when the number of remote control devices used at the same time increases, the ID code for identifying the remote control device to be set in accordance with the number must also increase. There is a limit to the provision of. Also, as the number of switches increases, the number of switches must also increase, which limits the cost.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve such a problem, a signal obtained by simultaneously operating two elements including a power supply, a plurality of keys, and a microcomputer with a built-in memory, and including at least one key There is provided an ID code setting device in a remote control device, characterized in that is stored in the memory as an ID code.

[0005]

[Action]

 By doing so, an arbitrary number of ID codes can be set without increasing the number of switches.

[0006]

【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an ID code setting device in a remote control device according to the present invention, which is applied to a device for remote control using light. In the figure, 10 is a key having a plurality of key buttons 10a to 10n, 11 is a microcomputer that has a built-in memory 11A and creates a control code based on the key operation, and 12 receives the output of the microcomputer 12. The transmitting unit 13 is a light emitting unit that receives the output of the transmitting unit 12 and sends light to the controlled unit. Further, 15 is a power switch, and 16 is a power source such as a battery, and the remote control device can be put into an operating state by turning on the power switch 15.

In such a configuration, when setting the ID code, the key buttons 10a and 10d of the key 10 are simultaneously pressed. The ID code signal generated by the combination of the two keyboard buttons thus created is stored in the memory 11A of the microcomputer 11. The key button used to generate such an ID code signal may be, for example, a combination of a specific key button and a reset key button, a combination of a specific key button and a power switch, or the like. A normal control signal is generated by pressing one of the fixed key buttons as in the conventional case.

Therefore, in the case of a 12-key input remote controller, a combination of 2 to the 12th power is possible, and a large number of ID codes can be set at a lower cost than the conventional hardware-based ID code setting. Become.

Although the above-described embodiment has shown an example of simultaneously pressing two keys as a feature of the present invention, a combination of operations for installing a battery while pressing one key (in this case, installing a battery I think that the signal issued at that time is equivalent to pressing the key button). At this time, the power switch of FIG. 1 may be omitted. Therefore, an essential requirement of the present invention is that two elements including at least one keyboard button can be operated simultaneously. In this case, the remote control device can be applied not only to games but also to various systems, and can adopt a wireless type or a cordless propagation type to other known controlled devices.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the ID code setting device in the remote control device of the present invention, it is possible to set a large number of ID codes inexpensively and easily as compared with the conventional case of setting the ID code by hardware.
