Effect that the remote controller is set is displayed by a prescribed graphical user interface on a display screen.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a remote control device for remotely controlling the operation of an electronic device (referred to as "remote control device"), and more particularly to a remote control device for controlling a computer device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional remote control device of this type, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 60-206299 discloses a remote control signal generated by a computer such as a microcomputer and transmitted at an arbitrary time by transmitting the remote control signal. A device that can automatically control any device has been proposed, but it is necessary to input all days, times, and operation procedures in advance, even if you use it daily or weekly. It is said.

[0003]

As described above, in the above-described conventional method, only the processing functions relating to the date, time, and operation set in advance are provided. Also, the operation of the electronic device has a problem that it is necessary to input all days, times, and operations in advance.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to memorize habits of a remote control operator, notify the operator, and operate on behalf of the operator. It is to provide a device which was made.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention analyzes an operator's habit of remote control operation, and automatically receives one or more remote control devices based on the analysis result of the habit. The present invention provides a remote control control method characterized by transmitting an operation to another device.

The present invention is characterized in that, based on the analysis result of the habit, when the time of remote control operation setting for one or more devices is reached, the operator is notified via a display screen or a speaker. And

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the remote control signal receiving device (11 in FIG. 1) stores the remote control operation of the remote control operator, and analyzes the habit by habit analysis software (15 in FIG. 1). At the time of performing an appropriate operation, the operator is notified by a display device (13 in FIG. 1) or a speaker (16 in FIG. 1),
The device is remotely controlled by a remote control signal transmission device (12 in FIG. 1).

According to the present invention, the habitual operation by the remote control operation is notified at the time, and the remote control operation is automatically executed on behalf of the operator. There is no need to make settings in advance.

[0009]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of one embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, one embodiment of the present invention is:
Remote control signal receiving device 11 for receiving a remote control signal (infrared signal) emitted by a remote control operation by an operator
A remote control signal transmitting device 12 for remotely transmitting an operation to a device as an infrared signal, a display device 13 for notifying the operator of a time at which a customary operation is performed, a remote control operation of the operator, customs, etc. A storage device 14 for storing
It is provided with a habit analyzing means (software) 15 for analyzing the habit of the remote control operation of the operator, and a speaker 16 for notifying the operator of the time of performing the habitual operation.

When an operator performs a remote control operation, a remote control signal receiving device 11 receives a remote control signal, and the reception result is stored and stored in a storage device 14, and the habit analyzing means 15 outputs a date (or day of the week). The correspondence between time and operation is analyzed. Based on this analysis result, a clock or the like (not shown) provided in the computer system 10
At a predetermined point in time before the time determined to be a habit, when the computer system 10 determines that the operation habit (a habit of performing a predetermined remote control operation at the same time on the same day of the week) is displayed on the display screen. A message indicating that a remote control is to be set is displayed on a predetermined GUI (graphical user interface).

Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The remote controller operation of the operator is input (step 21), and the habit of the operator is analyzed (step 22). Then, when it is time for the operator to perform a habitual operation using the remote controller (step 23), the operator is notified (step 2).
4) If a customary operation is performed (step 25), the device is automatically operated by the remote control signal transmission device.

For example, an information processing apparatus provided with a remote control device can be used by an operator to perform a remote control setting operation (ie, date and time and remote control Signal data) and a schedule is created by storing information data indicating the correspondence between the date and time and the remote control operation. For example, at a certain date (or day of the week), at the time when the operator sets the remote control, Information on remote control setting operation (type of electrical product,
Operation details), and when confirmation is received from the operator,
Send the remote control operation to the electrical device.

In the above embodiment, the case where the operation of the device is automatically set via the remote control signal transmission device based on the correspondence between the date and time obtained as a result of analyzing the habit and the operation has been described. It is a matter of course that the schedule and the operation stored and stored in the storage device may be modified by a predetermined editing function such that the operator modifies the schedule and the operation through a predetermined GUI (graphical user interface). As a result, the remote control operation schedule information stored and stored in the storage unit can be made more accurate, and the remote control operation settings for various electric devices can be centrally managed on the computer system.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Equipment can be automatically operated according to the habits of the operator,
This has the effect. This eliminates the need for the operator to set his or her remote control operation habits.

The reason is that the computer automatically analyzes the habits of the operator and automatically operates the equipment according to the habits.
