Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an erronous input by displaying data stored in a memory area, and inputting and operating data while data written at the time of input data is confirmed. CONSTITUTION:When an operator designates the memory area in which he wants to confirm the data stored through an input means 10, an input control means 13 judges the operational contents, and transmits them to a memory control means 12. According to said contents, the means 12 reads the data stored in the memory area of the designated storage means 9, and transmits said data to a display control means 14. It controls a display means 11 so that it can display the data, and the means 11 displays the data. When said operations are repeated, the data stored in some or all the memory areas can be confirmed. Thus the erronous input can be prevented.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention 3. Detailed Description of the Invention Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a display device for displaying data stored in a storage means.

Conventional Technology Figure 3 shows an example of the configuration of a home automation system that uses electric light lines as a communication medium and employs an index number system. Third
In the figure, 1 is a commercial 1 o used as a communication medium.
ov is the power line, 21°22,...2n is the load connected to the power line and used 0 31, 32, -3n
4 is an adapter for monitoring and controlling the loads 21, 22° . . . 2n, and 4 is an adapter 31, 32 . . . 3n is a controller that monitors and controls the loads 21, 22, . . . 2n. The adapters 31, 32...3n and the controller 4 each have an index number to distinguish them, and by using this index number, the controller 4
can monitor and control a plurality of loads 21, 22...2n via a plurality of adapters 31, 32...3n.

Therefore, the controller 4 is equipped with storage means capable of storing a plurality of index numbers.

Next, an example of the configuration of a portion of the controller 4 related to storing index numbers is shown in FIG. Storage means 8 having multiple storage areas
On the other hand, when the user specifies an index number to be input and a storage area in which the index number is to be written via the input means 6, the input control means 6 reads the operation contents and transmits the operation contents to the storage control means 7. The storage control means 7 specifies the storage area in which the input index number is to be stored in the storage means 8 according to the operation contents. The storage means 8 stores the input index number in a designated storage area. By repeating similar operations, part or all of the stored index numbers are written or rewritten.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional method, there is no means to check the index numbers stored in each storage area, and incorrect input of index numbers into the devices making up the home automation system has occurred. Ta. Furthermore, the system uses various data in addition to the index numbers mentioned above, but these data are also prone to erroneous inputs, just like the index numbers.
Due to these incorrect inputs, the system was not working properly.

In addition, in order to normalize the system, the only way to do so is to redo the input operation for each storage area, which requires an excessive amount of effort.

In order to solve the problem described in item 2, the present invention aims to make it possible to check stored data such as index numbers for each storage area.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a storage means having a plurality of storage areas, an input means for specifying an arbitrary storage area, and a storage area specified by the input means. It is comprised of a display means for displaying stored data, a storage control means and an input control means 9 display control means for controlling the storage means and input means 1 display means, respectively.

Operation With the above configuration, when an arbitrary storage area is designated via the input means, the display means displays the data stored in the designated storage area, and the presence or absence of erroneous input can be confirmed.

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a display device of the present invention. Reference numeral 9 is a storage means having a plurality of storage areas, 1° is an input means for specifying an arbitrary storage area, and 11 is a display for displaying data stored in the storage area specified by the input means 1o. It is a means. 12°13.14 is the storage means 9. storage control means for controlling the input means 109 and the display means 11, respectively;
Input control means 9 is display control means.

When a storage area in which the stored data is to be checked is designated via the input means 10, the input control means 13 reads the operation contents and transmits the operation contents to the storage control means 12. The storage control means 12 reads data stored in the designated storage area of the storage means 9 according to the operation details and transmits this data to the display control means 14. Display control means 14
controls the display means 11 to display this data, and the display means 11 displays this data. By repeating the above operations, it is possible to check the data stored in some or all of the storage areas.

Moreover, the input means 10 described here. The input control means 13 and the storage control means 12 include the input means 6 shown in FIG. Input control means 6. By adding the function of the storage control means 7, the input means for writing data and the input means for confirming data can be shared. In FIG. 2, which shows the specific input means and display means of the embodiment equipped with the device, a changeover switch 16 as an input means is used to change the state of the controller, and is called "setting".
When you select , the controller is in a state where data such as index numbers can be input, and operation key 1 is used as an input means.
61°162...168 are used for writing data.

When "normal" is selected with the changeover switch 16, the controller is in a state where it can monitor and control the load. At this time, the operation keys 161, 182...168 become control switches for controlling the load, and the LEDs serve as display means.
171, 172, . . . 178 indicate the load status. When "confirm" is selected with the changeover switch 15, the controller enters a state in which data stored in each storage area can be confirmed. At this time, the operation keys 161, 162...168 become selection switches for specifying the storage area, and the LED1
71, 172...178 display data stored in the designated storage area. The controller of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 has eight storage areas and operation keys 161,
162...168 each have a one-to-one correspondence with a storage area. An 8-bit binary number is used as the 1 data, and LEDs 171, 172, 178 are 2 degrees, 21, and so on.
・It is designed to represent the number 27. For example, operation key 1
As data in the storage area corresponding to 63, (10010
When o1(1)2 is stored, operation key 163
When you press , LEDs 171, 174, and 177 light up and the other LEDs go out, expressing the data (1001oo1(1)2).

By repeating the above operations, the data stored in some or all of the storage areas can be confirmed, and erroneous input of data can be prevented.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, since the data stored in each storage area can be displayed, when inputting data, it is possible to perform the input operation while checking the written data. In addition, when the home automation system does not operate properly due to incorrect input, the data can be memorized without having to redo the input operation for each storage area as in the past. By checking the existing data, data can be re-entered only in the storage areas that need to be rewritten, normalizing the system and reducing unnecessary labor. As described above, the display device of the present invention has great practical effects.
