Description

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

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a remote control system for an air conditioner has a command input device 1 ', a judgment device 2', and a transmission device 3 ', as shown in FIG.
And an air conditioner B'comprising a receiving device 4 ', a storage device, a judging device 5', and a driving device 6 '. When the command input device 1'inputs to the remote control device A ', the judging device 2'transmits the state by the transmitting device 3', and the air conditioner B'received by the receiving device 4'is judged by the judging device 51. According to the contents received, the drive device 6'operates the system.

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 plurality of tags having identification means and displaying operation mode names on the front and back sides,
The remote control device comprises a device number for holding a card and a device for detecting the existence of the device.

Operation With this configuration, the user selects his / her favorite tag and incorporates it into the remote control device to transmit the operation mode and identification content of the air conditioner tag, and perform operation according to each. .

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

That is, the name of the room and the age group of the user, such as "living room", "bedroom", "child's room", etc. There are three bills 1a to 1c, and the numbers 1 to 6 corresponding to the identification means are displayed on the front surface and the back surface in order, respectively. 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 base system, 000 is no bill, then 001 is number 1, 010 is number 2, and 110 to number 6 can be detected.

Next, A is a remote control device, which comprises a holding device 3 for the cards 1a to 1c, 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. When the card is placed on the card 3 and inserted, the tag number 001, that is, 1 is read by the detection device 4. 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. Also, attach the tag 1a to the holding device 3,
If it is set on the remote control device A, the command input device 5 is hidden and invisible by the tag 1a, and the user can
It can be understood that the switch of does not have to be operated.

B is an air conditioner, which includes a receiving device 8, a storage device 9, and a determination device.
The receiving device 8 receives the signal sent from the transmitting device 7 in an infrared ray sensitive manner and is decoded by the judging device 10 including a microprocessor or the like. For example, if a signal of tag number 1 is sent, the determination device 10 reads the operation mode 1 stored in the storage device 9, drives the drive device 11 according to the operation mode, and sets the temperature setting, the air volume, and the like. It is set and driven.

If tags 1a-1c 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, a remote control device such as an air conditioner according to the present invention has a plurality of tags having identification means such as numbers and displaying operation mode names on the front and back surfaces, and the tags. A holding device, an identifying means detecting device for detecting the content of the identifying means of the bill, a tag holding detecting device for detecting that the holding device holds the bill, and a signal according to a signal from the identifying means detecting device. Sending 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 the transmitting device, a storage unit that stores a plurality of operation contents, a determination device that determines which operation content of the storage unit is selected based on the signal received by the receiving device,
And a driving device driven by the operation content selected by the determination device, so that the bill can be selected according to the environment such as the size of the installation place of the air conditioner, the age of the user, the activity state, etc. The air conditioning that suits the environment of the installation site and the user can be obtained very easily.

Further, since the identification means is provided on the tag and only the operation mode name is shown and the control content is not stored, even a plurality of tags can be stored in a space-saving manner. It will not be expensive and will not burden the user much in case of loss or damage.

In addition, since the command input device that does not need to be operated by mounting the tag can be covered, the hesitation at the time of the operation and the operation can be suppressed as much as possible, and the operability is improved.

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. can do.

Also, by displaying the identification means and the operation mode name on the front and back sides of the bill, the number of bills can be halved compared to the case where it is displayed on only one side, and the entire remote control device that holds multiple bills can be used. It can be made as thin as possible. In addition, the small number of bills reduces the risk of loss.
