Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the method to use by changing the displaying of a display lamp simultaneously when an operating switch is pushed. CONSTITUTION:When an operating switch 4 is pushed while a condition displaying lamp 5 lights out, an on control command is inputted, during the transmission, a display lamp 6 lights up and the command is displayed. When an on monitoring response is received from a load 2, the condition displaying lamp 5 displays the on monitoring operation, the condition displaying lamp 5 lights up already, and therefore, the lamp will not apparently change. When the off monitoring response is received from the load 2 or the response is not executed, the condition displaying lamp 5 displays the abnormality such as flickering. In any case of the three, the display lamp 6 during the transmission lights out simultaneously at such a time.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] This invention relates to a monitor display for a home control device.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional display method for this type of home control device will be explained based on FIG. In FIG. 1, 1 is a home control device, 2 is a load controlled by the home control device l, 3 is an information transmission path connecting the home control device 1 and the load 2, and 4 is an on/off operation of the home control device 1. An operation switch 5 controls the load 2 from the control switch 4.5 is a status display knob. Each status indicator lamp 5 corresponds to 111111 and the load 2.11161, and the system shown in the figure has eight sets of these. 6 is a transmitting indicator lamp, and 7 is an all-off switch.

Next, the operation will be explained. The explanation will be based on FIG. 4, which shows the communication procedure of a conventional home control system. When the operation switch 4 is pressed while the status indicator lamp 5 is off, the On 1tilJ command is input, and the transmitting indicator lamp 6 lights up.

After the load 2 is controlled to be on, the load 2 receives the on monitor response, the transmitting indicator lamp 6 goes out, and the status indicator lamp 5 lights up to provide a monitor display.

Furthermore, if the all-off switch 7 is pressed while all eight status display lamps 5 are lit, the transmitting display lamp 6 lights up and the loads 2 are controlled to be turned off one by one. Each time a monitor response is received, the corresponding status display lamps 5 are turned off one by one, and after all the status display lamps 5 are turned off, the transmitting display lamp 6 is turned off.

In Fig. 2, 8 is the time from when the operation switch 4 is pressed until the status display lamp 5 blinks, and 9 is the time from when the operating switch 4 is pressed until the status display lamp 5 blinks.
After pressing ff switch 7, all status display lamps 5
represents the time until the light goes out.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventional home control device display systems are configured as described above, so if it takes time to send load control, the time from when the switch is pressed until the display lamp blinks changes, making it difficult for the user to control the operation switch. There was a problem in that the switch may have to be pressed again, causing anxiety such as whether the switch has malfunctioned or whether the input was not entered correctly.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides an easy-to-use home control device display method by changing the display of the display lamp at the same time as pressing the operation switch.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, the home control device display method according to the invention is such that when the home control device outputs a control command to the load, the contents of the command are displayed on the monitor, and when the load outputs a response to the control command, the contents of the control command are displayed. The present invention is characterized in that the content of the monitor display is changed by determining whether or not the content of the response matches the content of the response.

[Effect]

This home control device outputs control commands to the load and at the same time displays the commanded contents on the monitor.
When a response to the control command is output from the load, it is determined whether the content of the control command and the content of the response match, and the content of the monitor display is changed.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of this invention will be described below.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the flow of the operation procedure of the display method of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the flow of communication procedures from the home control device to the load.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, when the operating switch 4 is pressed while the status indicator lamp 5 is off, an on control command is input, and the transmitting indicator lamp 5 lights up to display the command. After load 2 is controlled to 011, on from load 2
When the monitor response is received, the status display lamp 5 displays an on monitor display, but since the status display lamp 5 is already lit at this time, there is no change in appearance. Here, from load 2 of
When an f-monitor response is received, or when there is no response, the status display lamp 5 displays an abnormality such as blinking.

In all three cases, the transmitting indicator lamp 5 goes out at the same time.

Furthermore, if the all-off switch 7 is pressed while all eight status display lamps 5 are lit, the transmitting display lamp 6 lights up and at the same time all the status display lamps 5 are turned off all at once to display a command. .

Load 2 control off one by one';:5 and o
Each time an ff monitor response is received, the corresponding status display lamps 5 display the OFF monitor display one by one, or the status display lamps 5 are already turned off at this time, so there is no change in appearance. Here, if an off monitor response is received from the load 2, or if there is no response, the status display lamp 5 displays an abnormality such as blinking. After receiving monitor responses from all loads 2, the transmitting indicator lamp 6 turns off.

In FIG. 3, 10 is the time from when the operation switch 4 is pressed until the status display lamps 5 start blinking, and 9 is the time from when the all-off switch 7 is pressed until all the status display lamps 5 turn off. .

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention outputs a control command to a load, simultaneously displays the contents of the command on a monitor, and when a response to the control command is output from the load.
Since the configuration is configured to change the contents of the monitor display by determining whether the contents of the command and the contents of the response match, immediately after pressing the switch, the manually input command can be changed by changing the monitor display. This has the effect of providing a control device display method that is easy to confirm and easy to use.
