Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an operation procedure automatic storage control device for a device with a built-in timepiece.

2. Description of the Related Art With the development of digital technology in recent years, digital watches have become widespread, and various devices have built-in digital watches. When the clock is built in this way, a function of controlling the device at a certain time and performing a desired operation (hereinafter abbreviated as a program function) is required. Conventionally, in response to this request, the day of the week, the time (for example, PM 08:30), the operation (for example, recording and channel), and the operation time (for example, 2)
Items such as time) or end time (for example, 10:30) are operated by the user and stored in the device to realize the program function. (For example, Sharp Color Television 19C-S10 Operation Manual) The conventional program function as described above will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a conventional program control circuit. In FIG. 3, 1 is a clock that serves as a reference for the time of the device, 2 is a program operating section for operating program functions, and 3 is a storage device for storing program data (time, operation, etc.) output from the program operating section 2. Reference numeral 4 denotes a comparison match detection circuit that compares the operation time data stored in the storage device 3 with the time output from the clock 1 and outputs a signal for operating the device. Reference numeral 5 denotes the output of the comparison match detection circuit 4 and the storage device. A control circuit that reads out the operation stored in 3 and generates a control signal, 6 is an operation unit that controls the device by manual operation, and 7 is a controlled circuit that is controlled by the output of the control circuit 5 or the output of the operation unit 6. .

Regarding the program control circuit configured as described above,
The operation will be described below.

First, the program operation unit 2 is used to set (a) the start time of the program "hour", "10 minutes", "minute", (b) the operation of the device (for example, "ON", "channel"), etc. It is stored in the storage device 3. Next, the clock 1 advances and the storage device 3
The comparison and coincidence detection circuit 4 detects that the time stored in step 4 is reached, and sends the control circuit 5 a timing for controlling. Then, the control circuit 5 reads the operation data of the device from the storage circuit 3 and controls the controlled circuit 7.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the above-described configuration has a problem that the operation by the program operation unit 2 is complicated.

The present invention is to solve the above problems,
It is intended to provide an operating procedure automatic storage device capable of operating a program function without performing a setting operation by a program operating unit.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an operating procedure automatic storage device of the present invention includes an operation unit for controlling a controlled circuit, a storage device for storing the operation content and control time, and a clock. From the function, the comparison coincidence detection circuit that compares the clock time with the time stored in the storage device, and the control circuit that reads the operation content from the storage device and controls the controlled circuit when the time to control is reached It is configured.

With this configuration, by simultaneously operating the operation unit and storing the content of the operation and the time at that time in the storage device, a complicated operation procedure of manually writing the program data in the storage device becomes unnecessary. .

Embodiment One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an operation procedure automatic storage control device in an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 8 is a clock that serves as a reference for the time of the device, 9 is an operation unit for controlling the device by manual operation, and 10 is a time when the operation unit 9 is operated.
A storage device that stores the contents of the operation and the time at that time, 11
Is a comparison match detection circuit for comparing the time stored in the storage device 10 with the time of the clock 8 to detect whether or not the time to control has come, and 12 is an output of the comparison match detection circuit 11 for indicating the operation content from the storage device 10. It is a control circuit for reading and controlling the controlled circuit 13.

The operation of the operation procedure automatic storage control device configured as described above will be described below.

First, when a certain operation (for example, channel selection operation: 8 channels) is performed by the operation unit 9, at the same time, the time (for example, “Wednesday 7:58 pm”) at that time is read from the clock 8 and stored in the storage device 10. (Channel 8 and “Wednesday 7:58 pm
Minutes ").

Next, when the time advances and the next Wednesday comes at 7:58 pm, the comparison / correspondence detection circuit 11 notifies the control circuit 12 that the time of the clock 8 and the stored contents of the storage device 10 coincide.

Then, the control circuit 12 reads out the operation content (8-channel tuning) from the storage device 10 and controls the controlled circuit 13.

It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the same day of the next week is detected for comparison match detection.
Although it was detected at the time of day, the day of the week may be ignored and set to the next day depending on the application. Similarly, the next time (eg 7:32 pm →
(8:32 pm) or by storing new day and month data, processing such as next month or next year is also possible.

Further, in the present embodiment, the same time (7:58
However, it is also possible to detect in advance that one minute ago (7:57) and output in advance that the channel will change after one minute (7:58) to give a notice.

Further, the configuration and capacity of the storage device 10 of the present embodiment is as shown in FIG. 2, and if a storage device capable of storing n sets of time and operation content is used, n operations can be performed within one week. It becomes possible to automatically memorize. Further, although it is possible to store many operations by increasing the storage capacity n, used storage contents (for example, executed once a week later) or similar storage contents (for example, one storage device) can be stored according to the application. In the case of “8 channels at 7:58” and “8 channels at 7:57”, the memory capacity of “8 channels at 7:58” will be erased and reused. For example, in the case of a television receiver, it becomes practical with n = 256).

As described above, according to the present invention, by operating the operation unit and simultaneously storing the operation content and the time at that time in the storage device, a complicated program operation can be performed manually by using the program operation unit. It is possible to automatically perform the same operation at the same time of the next week or the next day without doing so. For example, it becomes possible to easily book a series drama or a weekly program on a television receiver. There is a great effect.

Further, since the program operation unit which has been necessary in the past becomes unnecessary, the mechanical parts thereof become unnecessary, and the economic effect is great.
