Description of the invention [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a remote control device attached to various electronic control devices, and in particular, an infrared remote control signal is emitted from an infrared light emitting portion having directivity. Remote control. [Prior art] The remote control device of a television or air conditioner is in the shape of a slender rod, and an infrared light emitting portion whose directivity is aligned with the front direction of its long side is provided on the front end. An infrared remote control signal that is modulated in response to data from its input. As most people know from experience, this slender remote control device has the front end facing the remote control light receiving part of the host (such as a TV or air conditioner), and can be used naturally without discomfort. . Also, a remote control system that generates a beeping sound in response to an operation of pressing a button is also popular. In this type of machine, the device that receives the remote control signal is used for sound output, so the user can actually feel the transmission of the remote control signal. Problems to be Solved by the Invention The inventors and others have developed a remote control device for a multifunctional record player using a palmtop computer. In terms of its basic composition, it has: a music index database management means, which can manage the music index database corresponding to the soundtrack music database in the record player device; and a user interface, which can be displayed on the LCD touch panel- 5- (2) (2) 200304627 displays text or images to remind the user of various information, and at the same time can identify selection information entered by the user in a touch-sensitive manner related to the mention of non-corruption; and database retrieval means, which The processing that enables the user to search according to the music index database is performed through the medium of the user interface; and the remote control signal transmission means that enables the remote control of the specific music that is reserved to be played on the record player using the database search method The signal is transmitted. The appearance of the remote control device is approximately a horizontally long rectangular and flat palm type. It is often used with two hands supporting the two sides. The infrared light emitting part is arranged on the upper part of the shell overlapped with the liquid crystal touch panel. It is speculated that one of the reasons for the formation of this form is that if the infrared light emitting part is not sufficiently realized, the directivity of the infrared light emitting part and the If the remote control light receiving part of the main unit (in this case, the record player) is aligned and used, the remote control signal is transmitted when the direction is off, it is easy to cause the host to be unreliable. This is a significantly different usability from a remote control for a slim television. In the case of a multi-function soundtrack remote control device, a specific song selected from the music selection list is reserved for performance on the soundtrack by a remote control signal. The remote control signal is sequentially adjusted by using a data column containing a selection number. By. The record player selection number is usually 6 digits. When the light-emitting time of this remote control signal is compared with the type in which a remote control signal is transmitted each time a number is operated by a button, a one-time transmission instruction must take 6 times to 10 times. In the meantime, it is necessary to keep the directivity of the remote control device toward the record player device, so the transmission time is long, and errors are easy to occur in use.
I -6- (3) (3)200304627 因爲伴唱機用之遙控是視每個伴唱機製造商而採用不 同的遙控信號格式，所以發射1曲份之預約信號完成所須 時間也不同。對已習慣使用某個製造商之伴唱機遙控裝置 的人，往往會感覺別的製造商之伴唱機遙控裝置使用方便 性不佳。雖然在前述之多功能伴唱機遙控裝置上可以裝設 成切換設定方式而分別使用，這方面若不保持方向性之時 也容易造成使用上的失誤。 本發明乃鑑於上述問題點而開發成功者’其目的在提 供一種遙控裝置，其係爲了可確保現有遙控信號發射中之 方向性，而提醒使用者注意之一種遙控裝置。 【發明內容】 解決課題之手段 本發明之遙控裝置，基本上是具有.紅外線遙控信號 在發射時到發射完成爲止可朝向使用者發出告知聲音之構 成。具體的實施形態方面，該遙控裝置係具備有具有指 向性的紅外線發光部；及使用者所操作的輸入部；及數據 產生手段，其係因應來自輸入部之信號而動作，因而產生 發信數據列；及驅動部，其係因應來自輸入部之信號而動 作，因而驅動紅外線發光部而按照該發光數據列依序地使 調變後之紅外線遙控信號被發射；及發音部，其可在驅動 部發射動作之時朝向使用者發出告知聲音之遙控裝置。在 此，該發音部是採用以該發信數據列而依次序進行調變後 的告知聲音被發音而輸出之構成。並且，該遙控裝置亦可 (4) (4)200304627 實施爲：由大致爲長方形且扁平之掌上型電腦所形成’並 做成以使用者之兩手握住兩個側邊之形態，以配設在其正 面部份的液晶做爲該輸入部，該紅外線發光部則配設在上 邊部份之遙控裝置形態。 【實施方式】 本發明之一個實施例相關之多功能伴唱機遙控裝置的 外觀顯示於第1圖中，電氣方面之功能方塊構成則顯示在 第2圖。此多功能伴唱機遙控裝置爲大致形成爲B5規格 尺寸而具有厚度之盤狀無鍵盤電腦（即所謂之掌上型電腦） ，外觀上，其裝置之大部份由液晶顯示板1 a上重疊有透 明觸控感測器lb所形成的液晶觸控板1所佔據，內部上 則裝設有：含有 CPU· RAM· ROM之中央處理器 2 ;及顯 示驅動液晶顯示板1 a用之顯示驅動器3 ;及輸入檢出電 路4，其可檢出對透明觸控感測器1 b之輸入座標；以及 爲大容量之外部記憶的快閃記憶體5 ;及紅外線發光二極 體（LED)6以及發光二極體驅動器7，其可朝向伴唱機裝置 發射遙控信號；與充電站結合而進行充電的電源電池（圖 示省略）；以及相當於該發音部之電子蜂鳴器9 ;以及通信 控制部8，其可經由附屬於充電站之數據通信裝置而與伴 唱機裝置進行數據通信。 紅外線發光二極體6配置在遙控裝置之上邊中央部， 其在液晶觸控板1之上方被佈置成朝向該指向性之方向。 中央處理器2將樂曲索引資料庫收容在快閃記憶體5 -8- (5) (5)200304627 中進行管理。樂曲索引資料庫爲記載有供應伴唱機演奏的 多數支樂曲有關之屬性資訊的資料庫，例如含有樂曲號 碼、曲名、作曲者、唱出部份之歌詞、流行時期、音樂種 類區分、使用此樂曲之電影或電視劇之劇名、使用的電視 廣告、各種音樂比賽之受獎經歷、是否爲二重唱、各式各 樣的屬性資訊。多功能伴唱機遙控裝置與連接到伴唱機裝 置的充電站結合之狀態中，中央處理器2係爲介由通信 控制部8而與伴唱機裝置進行數據通信而更新樂曲索引資 料庫之內容之系統構成。 中央處理器2可使利用者所希望之樂曲根據樂曲索引 資料庫進行檢索之處理，以使用該利用者介面之媒介下進 行。在此資料庫檢索處理之初期狀態中，檢索目錄畫面在 液晶觸控板1上被顯示出來。此檢索目錄畫面之歌手名檢 索按鈕被觸擊輸入時，可在50音之假名文字顯示畫面上 進行顯示切換，在該晝面上觸擊假名文字，而從歌手名之 第一個文字依序地輸入（到中途爲止亦可），進行檢索按鈕 被觸擊輸入時，可從樂曲索引資料庫中抽出吻合的樂曲群 而列表顯示。其中有所要之樂曲的話，在其曲名上觸擊輸 入之後，再觸擊輸入決定按鈕之時，則可顯示該樂曲之詳 細晝面。在此畫面上觸擊轉送按鈕之時，可使含有該樂曲 之辨識資訊之演奏頊約遙控信號朝向伴唱機裝置發射。 演奏預約遙控信號係爲，使數字、字母、記號等以一 個字元經2進位碼處理成5〜8個位元之數據列依序進行調 變的信號。2進位碼是以ASCII碼原樣地使用情況居多。 (6) (6)200304627 數字之「〇」在ASCII中爲30H，此爲變換到眾所周知的 串行數據通信格式（serial data communication format)者。 前頭上亦有附加製造商身份辨識ID者，亦有使字碼之正 理論信號之後附加負理論信號而使可靠度提高之方式。亦 即，1個字元是相當於2〜4位元所構成。1個字元相當之 時間幅度方面，變成1 2 8微秒之程度。字元間的空白時間 亦有各式各樣的議定。這些在最早之前，亦有使回應於一 個接一個地連續按下遙控按鈕而產生之遙控信號被發射的 方式爲前提而議定，其規定在數分之一秒的大小之下， 使超過此大小而具有充分余裕之間隔被空出來。這些詳細 的規格均爲每個製造商所獨自決定。 與上述之規格吻合之後，會產生選曲號碼之6位數字 列，在以這些數字列而依序進行調變後之信號驅動紅外線 發光二極體6之時，可發射規定格式之紅外線遙控信號。 在此同時，以紅外線發光二極體6同樣的驅動信號或同樣 的定時信號來驅動電子蜂鳴器9，並且將遙控信號正發射 中與該遙控信號形成同步的告知聲音輸出，因此可提醒使 用者注意。第3(A) (B)圖中顯示有遙控信號與告知聲音之 關係。第3(A)圖是顯示使發射數據列之字元單位被同步化 ，而使每次輸出同樣聲音之方式。第3(B)圖中顯示一個字 元中之位元單位的調變信號被同步化，而輸出每個字元具 有微些差異的聲音之方式。 發明之效果 -10- (7) (7)200304627 以觸控面板方式進行方便地操作之多功能遙控裝置中 ，最後一件事是很容易忘記有遙控器。其結果往往會忘記 ，在紅外線遙控信號被發射之時必須確實地朝主機之遙控 受信部的方向發射。此尤其在伴唱機選曲號碼之6位數字 之長資料列進行調變之長時間遙控信號被發射的情況中問 題更大。本發明之遙控裝置中，可提醒使用者注意保持其 遙控信號發射時之方向性，因此在防止未對準受信器之效 果非常卓越。 ® 【圖式簡單說明】 第1圖爲本發明所適用的多功能伴唱機遙控裝置之外 觀圖； 第2圖爲同上遙控裝置之功能方塊圖； 第3圖是顯示同上遙控裝置之中的遙控信號發射動作 與告知聲音輸出動作的關係槪念圖； 元件對照表 1 ·液晶觸控板 1 a ·液晶顯不板 lb 透明觸控感測器 2 中央處理器 3 顯示驅動器 4.輸入檢出電路 5 快閃記憶體 -11 - 200304627 (8) 6:紅外線發光二極體 7.發光二極體驅動器 8 ·通信控制部 9:電子蜂鳴器I -6- (3) (3) 200304627 Because the remote control for the record player uses a different remote control signal format depending on the manufacturer of the record player, the time required to complete the reservation signal for one song is different. Those who are already accustomed to using a phono remote control of a certain manufacturer often feel that the remote control of a phono remote control of another manufacturer is not easy to use. Although the above-mentioned remote control device of the multi-functional record player can be installed to switch the setting mode and used separately, if the directionality is not maintained, it is easy to cause errors in use. The present invention was developed in view of the above problems, and its object is to provide a remote control device, which is a remote control device that reminds the user to ensure the directivity in the transmission of existing remote control signals. [Summary of the Invention] Means for Solving the Problems The remote control device of the present invention basically has an infrared remote control signal that can emit a notification sound to the user from the time of transmission to the completion of the transmission. In a specific embodiment, the remote control device is provided with a directional infrared light emitting unit; an input unit operated by a user; and a data generating means that operates in response to a signal from the input unit, thereby generating transmission data And the driving unit, which operates in response to a signal from the input unit, and therefore drives the infrared light emitting unit to sequentially transmit the modulated infrared remote control signal in accordance with the light emitting data sequence; and the sounding unit, which can A remote control device that emits a notification sound to the user when the part is transmitting. Here, the sound generation unit is configured to output the notification sound after the modulation is sequentially performed on the transmission data sequence. In addition, the remote control device (4) (4) 200304627 can also be implemented as: formed by a generally rectangular and flat palm-type computer, and formed into a form of holding two sides by the user's two hands to configure The liquid crystal on the front part is used as the input part, and the infrared light emitting part is arranged in the form of a remote control device on the upper part. [Embodiment] The appearance of a remote control device for a multifunctional record player according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1, and the functional block structure of the electrical aspect is shown in FIG. 2. This multifunctional record player remote control device is a disc-shaped keyboardless computer (known as a palmtop computer) with a thickness of approximately B5 size. In appearance, most of its devices are superimposed on the liquid crystal display panel 1a. The liquid crystal touch panel 1 formed by the transparent touch sensor lb is occupied, and the inside is equipped with: a central processing unit 2 containing a CPU · RAM · ROM; and a display driver 3 for a display driving liquid crystal display panel 1a. And an input detection circuit 4, which can detect the input coordinates to the transparent touch sensor 1b; and a flash memory 5 which is a large-capacity external memory; and an infrared light emitting diode (LED) 6 and Light-emitting diode driver 7, which can transmit a remote control signal toward the record player device; a power source battery (not shown) for charging in conjunction with a charging station; and an electronic buzzer 9 equivalent to the sounding section; and a communication control section 8. It can perform data communication with the record player device via a data communication device attached to the charging station. The infrared light emitting diode 6 is disposed at the center of the upper side of the remote control device, and is arranged above the liquid crystal touch panel 1 so as to face the directivity. The central processing unit 2 stores the music index database in the flash memory 5-8- (5) (5) 200304627 for management. The song index database is a database that records the attribute information about most of the songs that are provided for the player. For example, it contains the song number, song title, composer, lyrics of the sung part, popular period, type of music, use of this song. The title of the movie or TV series, the TV commercial used, the award-winning experience of various music competitions, whether it is a duet, and a variety of attribute information. In the state where the multi-function turntable remote control device is combined with the charging station connected to the turntable device, the central processing unit 2 is a system for updating the contents of the music index database for data communication with the turntable device via the communication control section 8 Make up. The central processing unit 2 enables the user's desired music to be searched and processed based on the music index database to perform the process using the user interface. In the initial state of this database search process, the search list screen is displayed on the liquid crystal touch panel 1. When the singer name search button on this search directory screen is tapped and entered, the display can be switched on the 50-character kana text display screen, and the kana text is touched on the day, and the first text of the singer name is sequentially Local input (it is possible until midway). When the search button is touched and input, the matching song group can be extracted from the song index database and displayed in a list. If there is a desired piece of music, after touching the input on the title of the song, and then touching the input decision button, the detailed day and time of the song can be displayed. When the transfer button is touched on this screen, the performance remote control signal containing the identification information of the song can be transmitted toward the record player device. The performance reservation remote control signal is a signal in which numbers, letters, symbols, etc. are processed by one character by a binary code into a sequence of 5 to 8 bits. Binary codes are mostly used as ASCII codes. (6) (6) 200304627 The number "0" is 30H in ASCII. This is a conversion to the well-known serial data communication format. There are also those who add the manufacturer's identification ID on the front, and there is a way to increase the reliability by adding a negative theoretical signal after the positive theoretical signal of the word code. That is, one character is composed of 2 to 4 bits. One character is equivalent to 1 2 8 microseconds in time width. There are also various agreements on the blank time between characters. Prior to the earliest, there was also a premise that the remote control signals generated in response to successively pressing the remote control buttons one after the other were to be transmitted, which were stipulated to be under a fraction of a second, so that the size exceeded The interval with sufficient margin is vacated. These detailed specifications are individually determined by each manufacturer. After conforming to the above specifications, a 6-digit string of song selection numbers will be generated. When the modulated signals are sequentially modulated by these numeric columns to drive the infrared light-emitting diode 6, an infrared remote control signal of a prescribed format can be emitted. At the same time, the electronic buzzer 9 is driven with the same driving signal or the same timing signal as the infrared light emitting diode 6, and the notification sound output in synchronization with the remote control signal is being transmitted during the remote control signal transmission, so it can be reminded to use Attention. Figure 3 (A) (B) shows the relationship between the remote control signal and the notification sound. Fig. 3 (A) shows a method of synchronizing the character units of the transmission data row so that the same sound is output every time. Figure 3 (B) shows the way in which the modulation signal of a bit unit in a character is synchronized and a slightly different sound is output for each character. Effects of the Invention -10- (7) (7) 200304627 The last thing in a multi-function remote control device that can be easily operated with a touch panel is that it is easy to forget to have a remote control. As a result, it is often forgotten that when the infrared remote control signal is transmitted, it must be surely transmitted in the direction of the remote control receiving part of the host. This is particularly problematic in the case of long-term remote control signals that are modulated when a long 6-digit data column of the record player selection number is modulated. In the remote control device of the present invention, the user can be reminded to keep the directionality of the remote control signal transmitted, so the effect of preventing misalignment of the receiver is excellent. ® [Brief Description of the Drawings] Figure 1 is the external view of the remote control device of the multifunctional record player applicable to the present invention; Figure 2 is a functional block diagram of the remote control device as above; Figure 3 is a remote control device showing the same remote control device Diagram of the relationship between the signal emission action and the notification sound output action; Component comparison table 1 · LCD touch panel 1 a · LCD display panel lb Transparent touch sensor 2 CPU 3 display driver 4.
