The operation panel pattern 501 in FIG. 3A is an example when the peripheral device is a recorder, and the operation panel pattern 502 in FIG. 3B is when the peripheral device is an HDD and a built-in BD (Blu-rayＢDisk). It is an example. Further, the operation panel pattern 503 in FIG. 3C is an example in the case where the peripheral device uses a player or network distribution such as VOD (Video On Demand) / DLNA (Digital Living Living Network Alliance). ) Operation panel pattern 504 is an example when the peripheral device is a mobile phone. For example, pattern identification information A to D is assigned to these four operation panel patterns 501 to 504 and stored in the mobile terminal 50 or the server device 60 in advance.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an operation example by the device operation system of the present invention. The TV 20 of this example is a liquid crystal TV with a built-in BD, and includes five external input terminals (inputs 1 to 5).

Inputs

1, 3 and 4 are HDMI inputs, input 2 is a USB input, input 5 is a LAN (network) input, input 1 is a recorder 10a, input 2 is a USB-HDD 10b, input 3 is a player 10c, input The mobile phone 10d is connected to 4 and the VOD / DLNA (external server) 10e is connected to the input 5.

The portable terminal 50 is connected to the TV 20 via a wireless LAN (IP control) so as to be capable of two-way communication, and an operation panel pattern 505 of the TV 20 is displayed on the screen of the portable terminal 50. When the user presses a desired channel number of the operation panel pattern 505, channel selection is executed by the TV 20, and the program content of digital terrestrial broadcasting can be viewed. Note that “E” is assigned to the operation panel pattern 505 of the TV 20 as pattern identification information.

In the above, when the user operates a peripheral device connected to the TV 20, first, the input switching tab 500a of the portable terminal 50 is pressed (S1). In response to this, the TV 20 transmits input switching screen information including the device names of peripheral devices connected to the input terminals of the TV 20 to the portable terminal 50, and the portable terminal 50 receives the input switching screen information received from the TV 20. Is displayed (S2). Here, when a peripheral device is connected to the input terminal of the TV 20, the TV 20 acquires device information of the peripheral device, and registers the acquired device information and the input terminal in association with each other. This device information includes the device name of the peripheral device. In this example, since the

inputs

1, 3, and 4 are HDMI connections, device information can be acquired by using a CEC message. Also, in the case of the input 2 USB connection and the input 5 network connection, the device information can be acquired by a known method.

The TV 20 generates the above input switching screen information by associating the device names of the peripheral devices thus obtained with the input terminals (in this example, inputs 1 to 5). In the example of FIG. 4, the device name of the recorder 10a is “aaa”, the device name of the USB-HDD 10b is “bbbb”, the device name of the player 10c is “cccc”, the device name of the mobile phone 10d is “dddd”, and VOD / The device name of the DLNA 10e is indicated by “eeee” and corresponds to the

inputs

1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Note that the television and the built-in BD (device name “xxxx”) are not external inputs, but the television and the built-in BD are also included in the input switching screen information, and can be set as input switching targets (that is, operation targets). .

Next, the user moves the cursor on the input switching screen of the portable terminal 50 and selects an input to which a desired device is connected. Note that when the input switching screen information received from the TV 20 is displayed, the portable terminal 50 grays out an input to which no peripheral device is connected so that it cannot be selected. In the case of this example, the input 1 to which the recorder 10 a is connected is selected, and the selection signal of the input 1 is transmitted to the TV 20. The TV 20 transmits a display command including device type information or pattern identification information corresponding to the selection signal to the portable terminal 50. Then, the portable terminal 50 acquires the operation panel pattern 501 of the recorder 10a from the memory 53 or the server device 60 based on the device type information or pattern identification information included in the display command, and displays the acquired operation panel pattern 501 on the display unit. 54 is displayed (S3). At this time, the portable terminal 50 automatically switches from the input switching tab 500a to the link operation tab 500b to change the screen of the display unit 54.

Note that the input switching operation on the TV 20 may be performed from the portable terminal 50 as described above, or may be performed using the remote controller R. Even when the input switching operation is performed from the remote controller R, the display command is transmitted from the TV 20 to the portable terminal 50 in the same manner as described above, and the portable terminal 50 records the recorder based on the device type information or the pattern identification information included in the display command. The operation panel pattern 501 of 10a is displayed on the display unit 54.

Then, when any operation button of the operation panel pattern 501 of the recorder 10a displayed on the display unit 54 is pressed, the portable terminal 50 transmits an operation command corresponding to the operation button to the TV 20. The TV 20 converts the operation command received from the portable terminal 50 into a device control command (for example, a CEC message) for controlling the operation of the recorder 10a, and transmits the converted device control command to the recorder 10a. In this way, the recorder 10a can be operated from the portable terminal 50. The same procedure can be used when operating peripheral devices other than the TV 20, the built-in BD, and the recorder 10a.

A panel pattern is acquired from the memory 53. In this example, “recorder” is notified as the device type information, and therefore “A” is specified as the pattern identification information from the device type / operation panel pattern correspondence table 53a of FIG. Accordingly, the operation panel pattern acquisition unit 52 a acquires the operation panel pattern 501 to which the pattern identification information “A” is assigned from the memory 53, and displays the operation panel pattern 501 on the display unit 54.

In the above, the device type information and the pattern identification information may be the same. In this case, the device type / operation panel pattern correspondence table 53a can be made unnecessary. That is, since device type information (recorder, player, etc.) is assigned to the operation panel patterns 501 to 505, when “recorder” is notified as the device type information from the TV 20, for example, the operation panel pattern acquisition unit 52a The operation panel pattern 501 to which the device type information “recorder” is assigned is acquired from the memory 53, and this operation panel pattern 501 is displayed on the display unit 54.

(Second Embodiment)
In the present embodiment, a case where the pattern identification information of the operation target device is notified from the TV 20 to the portable terminal 50 will be described. FIG. 7 is a block diagram functionally showing a configuration example of a main part of the TV 20 and the mobile terminal 50. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data table stored in the TV 20.

7, the TV 20 includes a main microcomputer 21, a communication I / F 25, and a storage unit 29, and the main microcomputer 21 functions as the notification unit 21a of the present invention. The storage unit 29 stores a device type / operation panel pattern correspondence table 29b shown in FIG. The device type / operation panel pattern correspondence table 29b associates device type information and pattern identification information of a plurality of operation target devices. That is, when a peripheral device is connected to the input terminal of the TV 20, device type information indicating the type of the peripheral device is acquired, and the device type information, input terminals (inputs 1 to 5), and pattern identification information are associated with each other. Registered.

The notification means 21a refers to the device type / operation panel pattern correspondence table 29b of FIG. 8 based on the input selected at the time of the input switching operation of the portable terminal 50, and sends a display command including the corresponding pattern identification information to the communication I / It transmits to the portable terminal 50 via F25. For example, when input 1 is selected, the corresponding device type information is “recorder”, and the pattern identification information corresponding to this “recorder” is “A”, and therefore includes this pattern identification information “A”. A display command is sent.

The portable terminal 50 displays the operation panel pattern 501 of the recorder 10a according to the display command from the TV 20. This process will be specifically described. In FIG. 7, the portable terminal 50 includes a control unit 52, a memory 53, and a display unit 54. The control unit 52 functions as the operation panel pattern acquisition unit 52a of the present invention. The memory 53 stores an operation panel pattern 53b. The operation panel patterns 53b are operation panel patterns 501 to 505 to which pattern identification information A to E is assigned as shown in FIGS.

The operation panel pattern acquisition unit 52 a acquires an operation panel pattern corresponding to the pattern identification information of the operation target device notified from the TV 20 from the memory 53. In this example, since “A” is notified as the pattern identification information, the operation panel pattern acquisition unit 52 a acquires the operation panel pattern 501 to which the pattern identification information “A” is assigned from the memory 53. An operation panel pattern 501 is displayed on the display unit 54.

In the first embodiment described above, the data table is also provided on the portable terminal 50 side. However, in the present embodiment, it is not necessary to provide the data table on the portable terminal 50 side. That is, since the pattern identification information assigned to the operation panel pattern is notified from the TV 20, the portable terminal 50 only needs to display the operation panel pattern corresponding to the pattern identification information notified from the TV 20. In addition, when acquiring this operation panel pattern 53b from the server apparatus 60, the operation panel pattern 53b does not need to be memorize | stored in the portable terminal 50 similarly to 1st Embodiment.

Here, a method for acquiring the operation panel pattern via the network will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a configuration example when an operation panel pattern is stored in the server device in the device operation system according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 9, if the operation panel pattern 53 b is held in the server device 60 on the network 70, an operation panel pattern that is not stored in the memory of the portable terminal 50 that is the operation device is acquired from the server device 60. be able to. In other words, the mobile terminal 50 has an operation panel pattern corresponding to the pattern identification information based on the pattern identification information specified based on the device type information notified from the TV 20 or based on the pattern identification information notified from the TV. If it exists in the memory of the portable terminal, the operation panel pattern is used, and if it does not exist, it can be downloaded from the server device 60.

Further, by using the server device 60, it is possible to easily customize and update the operation panel pattern. For example, when the manufacturer of the operation target device such as the recorder 10a, the USB-HDD 10b, the player 10c, the mobile phone 10d, or the service provider side via the network such as the VOD / DLNA 10e wants to provide the unique operation panel pattern 505, The operation panel pattern data is uploaded to the dedicated server device 60 in association with the unique identification information (ID), and the unique pattern identification information (ID) for specifying this data is notified to the TV 20 together with the unique device type information. . In this case, the recorder 10a, the USB-HDD 10b, the player 10c, the mobile phone 10d, and the like need to have unique pattern identification information and unique device type information in advance before notifying the TV 20 of them.

As the notification means, in the case of a recorder, player, mobile phone, etc., it can be transmitted to the TV 20 as HDMI CEC information, and in the case of VOD, DLNA, etc., as packet data when these services are connected. When the TV 20 acquires the pattern identification information (ID) and the unique device type information, the TV 20 adds the pattern identification information (ID) and the unique device type information to the device type / operation panel pattern correspondence table 29b. Update. The unique device type information may be the model number or nickname of the device, and in the case of VOD, the content of the service.

Then, the TV 20 refers to the device type / operation panel pattern correspondence table 29b based on the input selected during the input switching operation of the portable terminal 50, and transmits a display command including the corresponding pattern identification information to the portable terminal 50. . The portable terminal 50 inquires of the server device whether or not the operation panel pattern data corresponding to the pattern identification information is registered, and if the corresponding operation panel pattern is found, downloads and displays the operation panel pattern data. . In this configuration, it is not necessary to previously incorporate the operation panel pattern in the operation target device or the operation device. In addition, the operation panel pattern held in the server device 60 can be changed, or the operation panel pattern of a new operation target device can be registered in the server device 60. When the operation panel pattern is changed, only the operation panel pattern data corresponding to the pattern identification information to be changed that is already held in the server device 60 needs to be updated. May upload the operation panel pattern data in association with the unique identification information (ID) to the server device 60 and add the pattern identification information (ID) to the TV 20 together with the unique device type information. The pattern identification information and the device type information may be held in the portable terminal 50.

Next, the TV 20 generates input switching screen information in response to a request from the portable terminal 50, and transmits the generated input switching screen information to the portable terminal 50 (step S12). The portable terminal 50 displays the input switching screen information received from the TV 20 on the display unit 54 (step S13), and enters a device selection waiting state. If it is determined that any device has been selected on the screen, an input switching command for switching the input to the operation target device selected on the screen is transmitted to the TV 20 (step S14). The TV 20 switches the input to the operation target device specified by the input switching command received from the portable terminal 50 (step S15), and the device type / operation panel of FIG. 8 is determined from the type of the operation target device specified by the input switching command. With reference to the pattern correspondence table 29b, the pattern identification information of the operation target device is specified (step S16). And TV20 transmits the display command containing the pattern identification information specified by step S16 to the portable terminal 50 (step S17).

Next, the portable terminal 50 acquires an operation panel pattern from the memory 53 or the server device 60 based on the pattern identification information included in the display command received from the TV 20 (step S18), and touches the acquired operation panel pattern. It is displayed on the display unit 54 as possible (step S19). The portable terminal 50 determines whether any operation button of the operation panel pattern displayed on the display unit 54 has been pressed (step S20). When it is determined that the operation button has been pressed (YES), An operation command corresponding to the pressed operation button is transmitted to the TV 20 (step S21). If it is determined that the operation button has not been pressed (NO), the process proceeds to a standby state in step S20.

Next, the TV 20 converts the operation command received from the portable terminal 50 into a device control command (for example, CEC message) (step S22), and the converted device control command is an input switching destination device (operation target device). (Step S23). In this way, the operation target device connected to the TV 20 can be operated from the portable terminal 50.
