Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a setting mistake of operation mode immediately detectable by notifying user of various operation modes of various devices by recorded voice if a signal to the effect that the set content of an operation mode is desired to be confirmed at the point of time when the various devices are turned on is inputted to the various devices. SOLUTION: A controlling part 6 operates a notifying part 3 and notifys user of various operation modes by recorded voice when a signal input to the effect that the set content of an operation mode is desired to be confirmed is performed from a confirmation button at a point of time T1 when a housing information panel 10A is turned on. Also, unless the signal input to the effect that the set content of the operation mode is desired to be confirmed is performed from the confirmation button at the time T1 when various devices are turned on, the various operation modes are not signaled. Thus, a dip switch for function setting is not only visually confirmed at the time of confirming the set contents of the various operation modes but also the operation mode set contents are confirmed even by sound such as voice and even if a set mistake exists, such a set mistake is easy to notice immediately.

The control unit 6 includes a power on / off operation input unit 5a.
There when being externally turned on out the power supply from the power input unit 5 detects whether confirmation button 2a is turned on (time T _1). At time T _1, if confirmation button 2a is turned on, i.e., if the signal input to the effect that you want to check the settings of the operation mode is made to the operation input unit, the control unit 6, a dip for function setting the operation mode configured for various the switch 10A _2, to inform the surroundings operates the notification unit 3. Notification unit 3 blinks controls the light emitting elements of the display portion 3a, in accordance with the specified various operation modes from the control unit 6 selects the audio data in the notification sound storage section 3b _1, sounding the speaker 3b ₂ . In this way, the notification unit 3 notifies the surroundings of the house information panel 10A by a notification such as a blinking display or an audio notification (setting content confirmation mode).

The control unit 6, when the audio data selected by the notification sound storage section 3b ₁ is all voice broadcasted from the speaker 3b _2, off controls the light emission element of the display portion 3a, the use of conventional and similar to normal The operation in the mode is started (time T ₂ ).

[0024] The control unit 6, at time T _1, unless confirmation button 2a is turned on, i.e., if the signal input to the effect that you want to check the settings of the operation mode is not made on the operation input unit , similarly to the time T ₂ later, starts the operation of the conventional example similar to normal use mode.

The method of confirming the setting contents on the housing information panel 10A is described in the following.
Not limited only to visually check the A _2, if necessary,
This is performed by voice notification by keeping the confirmation button 2a pressed when the power is turned on.

I want to change the settings of the operation mode
In the case, the changeover switch 10A _{twenty one}, 10A_{twenty two}, 10
A_{twenty three}, ... 10A₂₈After changing the setting of
Press the reset button and turn on the power again
(Power-on reset).

[0027] Thus, the function setting DIP switch 10A ₂ for setting various modes of operation, the confirmation button 2a
Comprises, an operation input unit 2 for performing an operation input, a notification unit 3 having the function of notifying the surroundings by a flashing display and recording audio, function setting DIP switches 10A ₂ and the operation input unit 2 and the notification unit 3 connect to preparative, and a control unit 6 for executing various operation modes to be set in the function setting dIP switches 10A _2, the housing information panel 10A which operates in accordance with the set various operation modes, the control unit 6
Is, at time T ₁ the power of the housing information panel 10A is turned on, the confirmation signal input to the effect that you want to check the settings of the operating mode button 2
a, the notification unit 3 is operated to notify the various operation modes, and at the time T ₁ when the power of the various devices is turned on,
Unless a signal input to confirm the setting contents of the operation mode is made from the confirmation button 2a, various operation modes are not notified. Therefore, when confirming the setting contents of various operation modes, a function setting Dip switch 10A
_{In addition} to visually confirming ₂ , you can confirm the operation mode setting contents by sound such as voice, and even if there is a setting mistake that is likely to occur only due to visual confirmation, it is easy to notice such a setting mistake quickly, Therefore, the possibility that the trouble caused during operation of the house information panel 10A is reduced.

In the above embodiment, the signal input to confirm the setting contents of the operation mode is input by the confirmation button 2
Although the example of performing using a is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and a signal indicating that the user wants to confirm the setting content of the operation mode may be a conventionally known alarm stop button (a button for stopping an alarm sound. (Which is a part of the operation input unit). By doing so, it is not necessary to provide a confirmation button, and the number of components can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, the time T
_{In FIG. 2} , an example in which the light emitting element of the display unit 3a is controlled to be turned off is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this. if that continues turn the light emitting element needs to lighting control, depending on the use of the device object, at time T _2, it may be performed lighting control on or off control of the display unit.

Further, in the foregoing embodiment, various operation modes to be set in the function setting DIP switch 10A ₂ is illustrated a notification sound storage section 3b _1, those performed by voice notification by the speaker 3b ₂ However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an easy-to-read liquid crystal display may be added to the display unit, and various operation modes set by the function setting DIP switches may be displayed on the liquid crystal display. In this case, the time displayed on the liquid crystal display is limited to a range that does not hinder the operation in the normal use mode, and does not have to be substantially the same as the time of the voice notification.

Further, in the above embodiment, function setting unit 1 has been illustrated in a functional setting DIP switches 10A _2, the present invention is not limited to this, without a dip switch, sets various operation modes Any setting means may be used if possible.
