Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a remote controller which outputs a voice guide that instructs an operation from a remote controller and makes the voice guide to be heard again. SOLUTION: First, voice guide data 1X to an operation that is performed by a user is sent from a host system 1 to a receiving part 2 of a remote controller 2, and the data 1X that is received from the system 1 is temporarily stored in a storing means 22 of the controller 2. After that, a controlling means 24 controls the data 1X and sends it to a speaker 23 based on a selection switch 25, and sends a recognition signal 2Y from a sending part 26 to the system 1 when the data 1X is outputted. When you miss listening to the data 1X or when you want to listen to it once more, the switch 25 is pressed again and the data 1X is outputted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a remote control device, and more particularly, to a remote control device that receives voice guide data from a host system and sends out voice guides.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional remote control device has a means for outputting sound from a television or the like, but no means for outputting a voice guide for teaching operation. A guide display is performed on the system side. Switch information pressed by the remote controller is transmitted to the host system, and is displayed on the display unit of the host system. As shown in FIG. 3, reception of guide data 101X is received. Part 21 and guide data 1
The guide data 101X transmitted from the host system 1 is composed of a remote controller 102 having a display unit 27 for displaying 01X.
Of the guide data 10
1X was displayed.

[0003]

However, in the conventional remote control device, when a guide display is provided to a user who is not accustomed to the operation on the host system side, the character of the guide display is small in an operation from a remote place. There is a problem that it is easy to overlook, and it is difficult to see in a dark room if a guide is displayed on the display unit on the remote controller.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a remote control device capable of outputting a voice guide for teaching operation from a remote controller and listening to the voice guide again.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a remote control device according to the present invention comprises a receiving section for receiving voice guide data transmitted from a host system, and a voice receiving section for receiving voice guide data. Storage means for storing the guide data, a speaker for outputting the voice guide data stored in the storage means, a selection switch for selecting to output the voice guide data to the speaker, and the voice guide data being selected by the selection switch A transmitting unit for transmitting a recognition signal for recognizing that the voice guide data has been transmitted to the host system; controlling the voice guide data to be transmitted to the speaker based on the selection switch; and transmitting the recognition signal to the host system. And a control means for controlling the transmission unit.

Further, the remote control device according to the present invention is characterized in that the guide data stored in the storage means is output to the speaker again by selecting again with the selection switch.

[0007]

Next, a remote control device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a remote control device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the remote control device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

A remote control device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG.
Receiving section 21 for receiving voice guide data 1X transmitted from the storage section, storage means 22 for storing voice guide data 1X received by this receiving section 21, and outputting voice guide data 1X stored in storage means 22 Speaker 23
And a selection switch 25 for selecting to output the audio guide data 1X to the speaker 23, and a transmission unit for transmitting to the host system 1 a recognition signal 2Y for recognizing that the audio guide data 1X has been selected by the selection switch 25. The transmitting unit 2 controls the voice guide data 1X to be transmitted to the speaker 23 and transmits the recognition signal 2Y to the host system 1 based on the selection switch 25 and the selection switch 25.
And control means 24 for controlling the control unit 6.

Further, the remote control device according to one embodiment of the present invention can re-output the voice guide data 1X stored in the storage means 22 to the speaker 23 by selecting again with the selection switch 25.

Next, the operation of the remote control device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the remote control device according to one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the voice guide data 1X is transmitted from the host system 1 to the receiving section 21 of the remote controller 2 (Step S1). The control means 24 temporarily stores the voice guide data 1X in the storage means 22 (step S2), and controls the selection switch 25 (steps S3 and S4) to transmit the voice guide data 1X to the speaker 23 (step S5). ),
When the voice guidance data 1X is output by the selection switch 25 (step S6), the transmission unit 26 transmits the recognition signal 2Y to the host system 1.

If the user misses the voice guide 1X or wants to hear it again, he or she presses the selection switch 25 again, and the voice guide data 1X is returned in the same manner as described above.
Is output from the speaker 23.

[0015]

As described above, according to the remote control device of the present invention, the voice guide is output from the speaker of the remote controller closest to the user, so that the remote control device can be operated remotely from the host system. Since teaching is easy and the voice guide can be heard again, there is an effect of giving the user a re-recognition of the operation.
