That is, as shown in FIG. 7, in the present embodiment, the wireless television 110A, the wireless external device 120A, and the wireless external device 120B are configured as a first function unit 116, a second function unit 126, and a second function unit 126A. The case of having the same function and the same operation information will be described. Note that since the wireless external device 120A and the wireless external device 120B all have the same functions, the detailed internal configuration of the wireless external device 120B is omitted in FIG. 7 except for the second function unit 126A. did. As described above, the number of wireless external devices is not limited to one, and may be plural. The wireless external device 120A and the wireless external device 120B may have different functions except for the second function unit 126 and the second function unit 126A.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram of the wireless remote control system according to the third embodiment. 7, blocks equivalent to those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. Further, the description of the same part as the pairing process described in the first and second embodiments is omitted. Note that the wireless television 110A includes a display unit 112 for displaying images. The display unit 112 displays a plurality of functions of the wireless

external devices

120A and 120B and the wireless television 110, and displays a pull-down menu for the user to select one function from the plurality of functions. In order for the display unit 112 to display a plurality of functions of the wireless external devices 120 A and 120 B, the wireless television 110 A may obtain information on the above-described plurality of functions through the wired communication unit 115.

Hereinafter, the operation of the wireless remote control system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to a specific example. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, as an example, the first function unit 116 and the

second function units

126 and 126A are both amplifiers to which speakers are connected. As another example, both the first function unit 116 and the second function unit 126 are HDDs (hard disk drives) that can store or read AV data.

The first function unit 116 and the second function unit 126 are connected to the

control units

114 and 124, respectively. Based on the control of the

control units

114 and 124, the first function unit 116 and the second function unit 126 operate. The second functional unit 126A is controlled and operated by a control unit (not shown) in the same manner as the second functional unit 126.

First, the operation of an example of an amplifier in which the first function unit 116, the second function unit 126, and the second function unit 126A are connected to speakers will be described. FIG. 8A is a diagram showing an example of device types and possessed functions of the wireless remote control system according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8A, the wireless television 110A, the wireless external device 120A, and the other wireless external device 120B indicate that the amplifiers to which the speakers are connected are incorporated as the possessed functions.

FIG. 8B is a diagram showing an example of a pull-down menu 119 on the display screen 118 of the display unit 112 of the wireless television 110A according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8B, a state in which a pull-down menu 119 is displayed on the display screen 118 of the display unit 112 of the wireless television 110A by a user operation is shown. The pull-down menu 119 displays the name or model name of the wireless remote controller 100, the wireless external device 120A, and the other wireless external device 120B, the product part number, the manufacturer name, etc. Also good.

Based on the above-described display, the user selects which device's speaker is connected to output sound by operating the wireless remote controller 100 or the like. At that time, for example, the user can use the “UP” or “DOWN” key of the wireless remote controller 100. That is, based on the operation of the “UP” or “DOWN” key by the user, a device is appropriately set from the pull-down menu 119 on the display screen 118, and the key corresponding to the “OK” key is pressed. Then, it is desirable to clearly indicate a portion showing the equivalent function of the selected device by changing the hue as shown in FIG. 8B, for example. This allows the user to easily confirm the equivalent function that has been set.

In addition, although only one function of these devices is displayed, when a plurality of devices each have a plurality of equivalent functions, the plurality of equivalent functions are displayed simultaneously as shown in FIG. 8C. May be. FIG. 8C is a diagram showing another example of the pull-down menu 119A on the display screen 118A of the display unit 112 of the wireless television 110A according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8C, when a plurality of devices have a plurality of equivalent functions at the same time, a predetermined plurality of the same functions are selected from at least one device other than the wireless remote controller 100. Settings may be determined. In this case, as in the case of FIG. 8B, one of the same functions is selected from the menu. Then, by changing the color tone of the portion indicating the display of the selected same function on the menu, the user can easily confirm the equivalent function set. Note that it is not always essential that the plurality of identical functions to be selected are included in the same device as shown in FIG. 8C, for example. Rather, the performance of the entire system may be improved by distributing the same function to multiple devices. In addition, even if the functions are the same, it is desirable to set the same functions of devices with better performance. From this point of view, the user can select the same function of the optimum device according to his / her purpose.

In this way, the display unit 112 of the wireless television 110A displays a menu for performing predetermined settings. Then, the user performs a predetermined setting and selects any one of a plurality of the same functions. In order to display an equivalent function in the pull-down menu 119, the wired communication unit 115 of the wireless television 110A collects function information of the wireless external device 120 and the other wireless external device 120B using a wired network. That's fine.

The result selected by the user is stored as a predetermined setting in the storage unit 111 of the wireless television 110A under the control of the control unit 114. The result selected by the user may be stored as a predetermined setting in the storage unit 121 of the wireless external device 120A and the storage unit of the other wireless external device 120B via the wired communication unit 115. As described above, the number of wireless external devices connected to the wireless television 110 via the wired communication unit 115 is not limited to one, and may be plural. Hereinafter, in order to simplify the description, the case where one wireless external device 120A is connected will be described.

9A, 9B, and 9C are flowcharts illustrating an example of the pairing process of the wireless external device 120A according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Here, it is assumed that a predetermined setting is stored in the storage unit 111 of the wireless television 110 A based on the result selected by the user as described above. In the following, for simplicity of explanation, only the wireless external device 120A exists, and the description of the wireless external device 120B is omitted. Then, it is assumed that the wireless remote controller 100 is set to output sound using an amplifier to which a speaker of the wireless external device 120A is connected according to a user's predetermined setting.

As shown in FIG. 9A, when the user operates the wireless remote controller 100, the control unit 114 of the wireless television 110A confirms whether the audio output of the wireless television 110A has changed (step S801). Here, regardless of whether the wireless remote controller 100 is paired with the wireless television 110A or the wireless external device 120A, the control based on the operation of the wireless remote controller 100 by the wired

communication units

115 and 125 is performed wirelessly with the wireless television 110A. It is transmitted to the external device 120A. Therefore, at that time, the sound is output using the amplifier to which the speaker of the device selected by the user is connected as described above.

When the audio output of the wireless television 110A changes (“Yes” in step S801), the control unit 114 notifies the wireless remote controller 100 via the wireless communication unit 113 that “the audio output has become the speaker of the wireless television 110A”. (Step S802). Then, the process proceeds to step S804.

On the other hand, if the audio output of the wireless television 110A has not changed (“No” in step S801), the control unit 114 sends the “audio output to the speaker of the wireless external device 120A” to the wireless remote controller 100 via the wireless communication unit 113. Is notified "(step S803). Then, the process proceeds to step S804.

Next, the control unit 104 confirms whether or not “audio output has become a speaker of the wireless television 110A” sent from the wireless television 110A via the wireless communication unit 103 has been received (step S804). If received (“Yes” in step S804), the process proceeds to step S805. Then, the control unit 104 updates the sound switching state to “speaker of the wireless television 110A” and sends it to the storage unit 101 (step S805). Next, the process proceeds to step S806.

On the other hand, also when not receiving ("No" of step S804), it progresses to step S806. In step S806, the control unit 104 checks whether or not “audio output has become a speaker of the wireless external device 120A” sent from the wireless television 110A via the wireless communication unit 103 is confirmed. If received (“Yes” in step S806), the process proceeds to step S807. Then, the control unit 104 updates the audio switching state to “speaker of the wireless external device 120A” and sends it to the storage unit 101 (step S807). Next, the process proceeds to step S808.

On the other hand, also when not receiving ("No" of step S806), it progresses to step S808. In step S808, the control unit 104 confirms whether the press of the volume increase key, the volume decrease key, or the mute key is detected. If not detected (“No” in step S808), the series of processing ends. If it is detected (“Yes” in step S808), the process proceeds to step S809.

In step S809, the control unit 104 reads the voice switching state as a predetermined setting from the storage unit 101. Then, the control unit 104 confirms whether the audio switching state is the wireless television 110A (step S810). When the audio switching state is the wireless television 110A (“Yes” in step S810), the process proceeds to step S811. Then, the control unit 104 transmits control data to the wireless television 110A via the wireless communication unit 103 (step S811). Then, a series of processing ends.

On the other hand, if the audio switching state is not the wireless television 110A (“No” in step S810), the process proceeds to step S822. Then, the control unit 104 transmits control data to the wireless external device 120A via the wireless communication unit 103 (step S822). Then, a series of processing ends.

As described above, the wireless remote control system according to the present embodiment includes the wireless external device 120A and the wireless television 110A each having the same function and the same operation information as the first function unit 116 and the second function unit 126. Even in such a case, the wireless remote controller 100 can perform the pairing process based on the user's predetermined setting. Then, the wireless remote controller 100 can transmit appropriate control data to any appropriate device of the paired wireless external device 120A and the wireless television 110A. That is, in the wireless remote control system according to the present embodiment, when first function unit 116 and second function unit 126 have equivalent functions, first function unit 116 selected based on a predetermined setting is used. 1 and the second functional unit 126 operate. In this example, since the first function unit 116 is selected with a predetermined setting, sound is output from a speaker included in the wireless television 110A. As a result, since the device set to operate by the user operates in accordance with the operation of the wireless remote controller, convenience for the user is ensured.

When the wireless remote control system includes the second function unit equivalent to the wireless external device 120A and further includes the wireless external device 120B, the first function unit 116 selected by a predetermined setting and a plurality of second functions Any one of the

units

126 and 126A may be operated. That is, the number of external wireless devices is not limited to one, and the present invention can be applied even if there are two or more external wireless devices.

In the above description, the result selected by the user is stored in the storage unit 111 of the wireless television 110 A under the control of the control unit 114. In addition, the result selected by the user is stored in the storage unit 121 of the wireless external device 120A and the storage unit of the other wireless external device 120B via the wired communication unit 115. However, the result selected by the user may be stored in the storage unit 121 of the wireless external device 120A and the storage unit of another wireless external device 120B via the

wireless communication units

113, 103, and 123.

Next, the operation of the first function unit 116 and the second function unit 126 will be described for an example of the HDD. 10A, 10B, and 10C are flowcharts showing another example of the pairing process of wireless

external devices

120A and 120B according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In this example, it is assumed that the wireless television 110A and the wireless external device 120A each have a built-in HDD. Then, how the wireless remote controller 100 controls each of the built-in HDDs included in the wireless external device 120A and the wireless television 110A will be described. In the following, it is assumed that the predetermined setting is stored in the storage unit 111 of the wireless television 110A based on the result of the user's selection as described above. That is, it is assumed that the wireless remote controller 100 is set to perform operations such as recording / playback on the HDD of the wireless television 110A according to a predetermined setting of the user.

As shown in FIG. 10A, when the user operates the wireless remote controller 100 to record, first, the control unit 114 of the wireless television 110A confirms whether the wireless television 110A has a remaining capacity of the built-in HDD (step S901). ). Here, the wireless remote controller 100 is paired with either the wireless television 110A or the wireless external device 120A. Therefore, control based on the operation of the wireless remote controller 100 is transmitted to the wireless television 110A and the wireless external device 120A by the wired

communication units

115 and 125. At that time, as described above, control such as recording and reproduction can be performed on the internal HDD of the device selected by the user.

When the wireless TV 110A has a remaining capacity of the built-in HDD (“Yes” in step S901), the control unit 114 notifies the wireless remote controller 100 via the wireless communication unit 113 that “the wireless TV 110A has a remaining capacity of the built-in HDD”. Notification is made (step S902). Then, the process proceeds to step S904.

On the other hand, when the wireless TV 110A has no remaining capacity of the built-in HDD (“No” in step S901), the control unit 114 notifies the wireless remote controller 100 via the wireless communication unit 113 that “the wireless TV 110A has no remaining capacity of the built-in HDD. "(Step S903). Then, the process proceeds to step S904.

Next, the control unit 104 confirms whether or not the “wireless television 110A has a remaining capacity of the built-in HDD” sent from the wireless television 110A via the wireless communication unit 103 is confirmed (step S904). If received (“Yes” in step S904), the process proceeds to step S905. Then, the control unit 104 updates the state of the built-in HDD to “remaining” and sends it to the storage unit 101 (step S905). Next, the process proceeds to step S906.

On the other hand, also when not receiving ("No" of step S904), it progresses to step S906. In step S 906, the control unit 104 confirms whether or not the “wireless television 110 A has no remaining internal HDD capacity” sent from the wireless television 110 A via the wireless communication unit 103. If received (“Yes” in step S906), the process proceeds to step S907. Then, the control unit 104 updates the state of the built-in HDD to “no remaining amount” and sends it to the storage unit 101 (step S907). Next, the process proceeds to step S908.

On the other hand, also when not receiving ("No" of step S906), it progresses to step S908. In step S908, the control unit 104 confirms whether or not the recording key has been pressed. If not detected (“No” in step S908), the series of processing ends. If it is detected (“Yes” in step S908), the process proceeds to step S909.

In step S909, the control unit 104 reads the state of the built-in HDD from the storage unit 101. Then, the control unit 104 confirms whether the wireless television 110A has a remaining capacity of the built-in HDD (step S910). If the wireless TV 110A has a remaining capacity of the built-in HDD (“Yes” in step S910), the process proceeds to step S911. Then, the control unit 104 transmits control data to the wireless television 110A via the wireless communication unit 103 (step S911). Then, a series of processing ends.

On the other hand, if the wireless TV 110A has no remaining remaining HDD (“No” in step S910), the process proceeds to step S922. Then, the control unit 104 transmits control data to the wireless external device 120A via the wireless communication unit 103 (step S922). Then, a series of processing ends.

As described above, the wireless remote control system according to the present embodiment includes the wireless external device 120A and the wireless television 110A having the same function and the same operation information as the first function unit 116 and the second function unit 126, respectively. Even if the wireless remote controller 100 includes the wireless remote controller 100, the wireless remote controller 100 can perform the pairing process based on the user's predetermined setting and is suitable for any appropriate device such as the paired wireless external device 120A and the wireless television 110A. Control data can be transmitted. As a result, since the device set to operate by the user operates in accordance with the operation of the wireless remote controller, convenience for the user is ensured.

In the above description, it is assumed that the wireless remote controller 100 is set to perform operations such as recording / playback on the HDD of the wireless television 110A according to a predetermined setting by the user. However, even if the wireless remote controller 100 is set to perform operations such as recording / playback on the HDD of the wireless external device 120A according to a predetermined setting by the user, the “wireless television 110A” and “wireless external If the device 120A "is replaced, the present invention can be similarly applied.

113, 103, and 123.

Next, FIG. 11 shows an example of the appearance of the wireless remote controller 100 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, the wireless remote controller 100 includes a “numeric key”, “UP”, “DOWN” key for setting a channel, a “power” key for muting sound and turning on / off the power, and recording / playback. Various keys are provided. It is also possible to make settings so as to have functions other than the functions displayed in the figure by successively pressing two keys. In this manner, a key for displaying the display screen of the wireless television 110A shown in FIG. 8A can also be defined. In addition, using these keys, a pull-down menu can be displayed and a menu can be set.

So far, the operation and method for completing pairing between the wireless remote controller, the wireless television, and the wireless external device according to the wireless remote control system according to the present embodiment have been described. Hereinafter, description will be given of automatically canceling the pairing when the user disconnects the connection between the wired communication units.

FIG. 12A is a flowchart illustrating an example of the pairing cancellation processing of the wireless external device 120A according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 12A, first, it is confirmed whether or not the wireless television 110A has detected the disconnection of the wired communication with the wireless external device 120A (step S951). If disconnection of the wired communication is not detected (“No” in step S951), the process ends.

On the other hand, when the wireless television 110A detects the disconnection of the wired communication (“Yes” in step S951), the process proceeds to step S952. Then, the control unit 114 of the wireless television 110A cancels the pairing between the wireless remote controller 100 and the wireless external device 120A. Specifically, the pairing information related to the wireless external device 120A stored in the storage unit 101 of the wireless remote controller 100 may be discarded. Alternatively, information for invalidating the pairing between the wireless remote controller 100 and the wireless external device 120A may be added to the storage unit 101 and stored.

The pairing between the wireless remote controller 100 and the wireless external device 120B can be canceled in the same manner.

As described above, in the wireless remote control system according to the present embodiment, when wireless television 110A detects that wired communication between wireless television 110A and wireless external device 120A or wireless external device 120B has been disconnected, wireless remote control 100 Is paired with the wireless external device 120A or the wireless external device 120B. Therefore, when the user disconnects the connection between the wired communication units, the wireless remote control system can automatically cancel the pairing.

Further, as described above, when the wireless remote control system automatically cancels the pairing, the wireless TV 110A displays a wireless screen such as the device type of the wireless external device that has canceled the pairing and the device address. Information that can easily identify the external device may be displayed. Further, information that can easily identify the device currently paired with the wireless remote controller 100 may be displayed.

FIG. 12B is a flowchart illustrating another example of the pairing cancellation processing of the wireless external device 120A according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 12B, first, it is confirmed whether or not the wireless external device 120A detects the disconnection of the wired communication with the wireless television 110A (step S961). If disconnection of wired communication is not detected (“No” in step S961), the process ends.

On the other hand, when the wireless external device 120A detects disconnection of the wired communication (“Yes” in step S961), the process proceeds to step S962. Then, the control unit 124 of the wireless external device 120A cancels the pairing between the wireless remote controller 100 and the wireless external device 120A. Specifically, the pairing information related to the wireless external device 120A stored in the storage unit 101 of the wireless remote controller 100 may be discarded. Alternatively, information for invalidating the pairing between the wireless remote controller 100 and the wireless external device 120A may be added to the storage unit 101 and stored.

As described above, in the wireless remote control system according to the present embodiment, the fact that the wired communication between the wireless television 110A and the wireless external device 120A or the wireless external device 120B has been disconnected is determined by either the wireless external device 120A or the wireless external device 120B. If one of them is detected, the pairing between the wireless external device 120A or the wireless external device 120B in which the wired communication is disconnected and the wireless remote controller 100 is canceled. Therefore, when the user disconnects the connection between the wired communication units, the wireless remote control system can automatically cancel the pairing.

In addition, when pairing is automatically canceled as described above, the wireless external device such as the device type and device address of the wireless external device for which pairing has been canceled is easily displayed on the display screen 118 of the wireless television 110A. Information that can be specified may be displayed. Further, information that can easily identify the device currently paired with the wireless remote controller 100 may be displayed.

Thus, the wireless remote control system according to the present embodiment can automatically cancel the pairing when the user disconnects the connection between the wired communication units. Therefore, it is possible to improve the operability in performing the user pairing.

As described above, according to the wireless remote control system of the present invention, when the pairing between the wireless remote control and the wireless television is completed, the pairing between the wireless external device connected to the wireless television and the wireless remote control is automatically performed. Is called. In addition, since the pairing is automatically canceled when the connection between the wired communication units is disconnected, the operability is improved for the user, which is useful for pairing the wireless remote controller with all wireless external devices. .
