　従来、空気調和機などの家電機器は、遠隔操作装置との間の通信によって運転が操作されている。例えば空気調和機の電源のオンまたはオフ、設定温度及び設定風量の変更などは、ユーザが操作する遠隔操作装置によって入力される。近年では、このような遠隔操作装置による機器の操作をより容易にするために、例えば特許文献１に開示されているように、音声認識を利用した遠隔操作装置が提案されており、さらに、このような音声認識型の遠隔操作装置を用いて複数の機器を操作する技術が考えられている。 Conventionally, home appliances such as air conditioners are operated by communication with a remote control device. For example, turning on or off the air conditioner, changing the set temperature and the set air volume, and the like are input by a remote control device operated by the user. In recent years, in order to make the operation of the device by such a remote control device easier, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a remote control device using voice recognition has been proposed. A technique for operating a plurality of devices using such a voice recognition type remote control device has been considered.
　しかしながら、特許文献１に開示されている技術は、機器を操作するためのリモコンコードを予め記憶しておき、認識された音声に対応するリモコンコードを選択して機器を操作する構成である。即ち、認識された１つの音声に対応して選択されるリモコンコードは１つであり、従って、１つの音声に基づいて１つの機器しか操作することができない。 However, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a configuration in which a remote control code for operating a device is stored in advance, and the remote control code corresponding to the recognized voice is selected to operate the device. That is, there is one remote control code selected corresponding to one recognized voice, and therefore only one device can be operated based on one voice.

The control unit 30 is constituted by a microcomputer having a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM (not shown), and controls the entire remote controller 10 based on a computer program stored in the ROM. Further, the control unit 30 constitutes a voice recognition unit 61, a life scene estimation processing unit 62, a device selection processing unit 63, and an operation signal transmission processing unit 64. The voice recognition unit 61, the life scene estimation processing unit 62, the device selection processing unit 63, and the operation signal transmission processing unit 64 may be realized in hardware as an integrated circuit integrated with the control unit 30, or in a ROM. You may implement | achieve by software by running the stored computer program.
　また、リモコン１０は、電池４１または商用電源から供給された電力によって電気的に駆動される。商用電源によりリモコン１０を駆動する場合、商用電源は、例えばＡＣアダプタ４２などを経由して交流から所定の電圧の直流へ変換されてリモコン１０へ供給される。また、リモコン１０は、電源回路部４３を有している。電池４１または商用電源から供給された電力は、電源回路部４３を経由して制御ユニット３０に供給される。 Further, the remote controller 10 is electrically driven by the power supplied from the battery 41 or the commercial power source. When driving the remote controller 10 with a commercial power source, the commercial power source is converted from alternating current to direct current with a predetermined voltage via the AC adapter 42 or the like, for example, and supplied to the remote controller 10. The remote controller 10 also has a power supply circuit unit 43. The electric power supplied from the battery 41 or the commercial power supply is supplied to the control unit 30 via the power supply circuit unit 43.
　マイク３１は、リモコン１０の外部からの音声を取得する。マイク３１は、ケーシング２０に設けられている図示しないマイク穴を通して音声を取得する。スピーカ３２は、音声合成部３２１から入力される電気信号に基づいて音声を発する。なお、音声合成部３２１は、記憶部３６に記憶されている音声データに基づいて音声を合成する。また、スピーカ３２は、ケーシング２０に設けられている図示しないスピーカ穴を通して音声を外部に発する。メカニカルスイッチ３３は、ユーザからの機械的な入力を受け付ける。 The microphone 31 acquires sound from outside the remote controller 10. The microphone 31 acquires sound through a microphone hole (not shown) provided in the casing 20. The speaker 32 emits sound based on the electrical signal input from the speech synthesizer 321. The voice synthesizer 321 synthesizes voice based on the voice data stored in the storage unit 36. The speaker 32 emits sound to the outside through a speaker hole (not shown) provided in the casing 20. The mechanical switch 33 receives a mechanical input from the user.
　送信素子３４及び受信素子３５は、一体の送受信ユニット３７を構成している。送受信ユニット３７は、例えば赤外線を照射する赤外線ＬＥＤからなる送信素子３４と、赤外線を受光するフォトダイオードからなる受信素子３５とから構成されている。送受信ユニット３７を構成する送信素子３４は、赤外線を照射することにより、各機器１１へそれぞれ操作信号を出力する。また、受信素子３５は、赤外線を受光することにより、各機器１１から出力された信号を受信する。これにより、リモコン１０と各機器１１とは、赤外線による無線で通信する。なお、図３には、説明の便宜上、１つの機器１１のみを示す。また、このような赤外線通信は一例であり、例えば無線ＬＡＮ或いはＢｌｕｅｔｏｏｔｈ（日本国：登録商標）など、赤外線通信に限らずその他の方法で無線通信してもよい。 The transmission element 34 and the reception element 35 constitute an integral transmission / reception unit 37. The transmission / reception unit 37 is composed of, for example, a transmission element 34 composed of an infrared LED that emits infrared light, and a reception element 35 composed of a photodiode that receives infrared light. The transmission element 34 constituting the transmission / reception unit 37 outputs an operation signal to each device 11 by irradiating infrared rays. Moreover, the receiving element 35 receives the signal output from each apparatus 11 by receiving infrared rays. As a result, the remote controller 10 and each device 11 communicate with each other wirelessly using infrared rays. FIG. 3 shows only one device 11 for convenience of explanation. Further, such infrared communication is an example, and wireless communication may be performed by other methods, not limited to infrared communication, such as a wireless LAN or Bluetooth (Japan: registered trademark).
　記憶部３６は、例えばフラッシュメモリなどの書き換え可能な記憶媒体を有しており、各種の情報やデータを記憶する。この記憶部３６は、ＲＯＭ及びＲＡＭと共用してもよい。この記憶部３６には、例えば図４に示す動作指令データベースＤＢが格納されている。この動作指令データベースＤＢには、認識される音声に対応付けて、生活シーンを示すデータ及び各機器１１に出力する動作指令の内容を示すデータが格納されている。 The storage unit 36 has a rewritable storage medium such as a flash memory, and stores various information and data. The storage unit 36 may be shared with ROM and RAM. For example, an operation command database DB shown in FIG. 4 is stored in the storage unit 36. In this operation command database DB, data indicating the life scene and data indicating the contents of the operation command output to each device 11 are stored in association with the recognized voice.
　この場合、例えば「おはよう」という音声に対応付けて、生活シーンとして「起床」が格納され、さらに、エアコン１１１に出力する動作指令として「オン」、テレビ１１２に出力する動作指令として「オン」、照明機器１１３に出力する動作指令として「オン」が格納されている。即ち、この場合、複数の機器１１のうちエアコン１１１、テレビ１１２、照明機器１１３が操作対象として選択されており、その他の機器、例えば自動掃除ロボット１１４が操作対象として選択されておらず、動作指令が設定されていない状態となっている。そして、選択された各機器１１の動作内容は何れも「オン」であり、同一の内容となっている。 In this case, for example, “wake up” is stored as a life scene in association with the voice “Good morning”, and “ON” is stored as an operation command to be output to the air conditioner 111, “ON” is output as an operation command to be output to the television 112, “ON” is stored as an operation command to be output to the lighting device 113. That is, in this case, among the plurality of devices 11, the air conditioner 111, the television 112, and the lighting device 113 are selected as the operation targets, and other devices such as the automatic cleaning robot 114 are not selected as the operation targets. Is not set. The operation content of each selected device 11 is “ON” and has the same content.
　また、例えば「おやすみ」という音声に対応付けて、生活シーンとして「就寝」が格納され、さらに、エアコン１１１に出力する動作指令として「オフ」、テレビ１１２に出力する動作指令として「オフ」、照明機器１１３に出力する動作指令として「オフ」が格納されている。なお、この場合、エアコン１１１の動作内容としては、「オフ」、「切タイマーオン」、「入タイマーオン」のうち何れか１つを選択して設定することができる。また、照明機器１１３の動作内容としては、「オフ」、「暗照明オン」、「常夜灯オン」のうち何れか１つを選択して設定することができる。このように、各機器１１は、それぞれ特有の動作を実行し得るものであるから、各機器１１に対し、それぞれ異なる動作をするための動作指令を設定することができ、各機器１１の動作内容をそれぞれ個別に設定することも可能である。 Further, for example, “sleeping” is stored as a life scene in association with the voice “good night”, “off” as an operation command to be output to the air conditioner 111, “off” as an operation command to be output to the television 112, illumination “OFF” is stored as an operation command to be output to the device 113. In this case, the operation content of the air conditioner 111 can be set by selecting any one of “OFF”, “OFF timer ON”, and “ON timer ON”. The operation content of the lighting device 113 can be set by selecting any one of “off”, “dark illumination on”, and “nightlight on”. As described above, each device 11 can execute a specific operation, and therefore, an operation command for performing a different operation can be set for each device 11. It is also possible to set each individually.
　また、例えば「行ってきます」という音声に対応付けて、生活シーンとして「外出」が格納され、さらに、エアコン１１１に出力する動作指令として「オフ」、テレビ１１２に出力する動作指令として「オフ」、照明機器１１３に出力する動作指令として「オフ」、自動掃除ロボット１１４に出力する動作指令として「オン」が格納されている。なお、この場合、自動掃除ロボット１１４の動作内容としては、「オン」、「オフ」のうち何れか１つを選択して設定することができる。 Further, for example, “going out” is stored as a life scene in association with the voice “I will go”, “off” as an operation command output to the air conditioner 111, and “off” as an operation command output to the television 112. In addition, “OFF” is stored as an operation command to be output to the lighting device 113, and “ON” is stored as an operation command to be output to the automatic cleaning robot 114. In this case, the operation content of the automatic cleaning robot 114 can be set by selecting any one of “ON” and “OFF”.
　また、例えば「ただいま」という音声に対応付けて、生活シーンとして「帰宅」が格納され、さらに、エアコン１１１に出力する動作指令として「オン」、テレビ１１２に出力する動作指令として「オン」、照明機器１１３に出力する動作指令として「オン」が格納されている。即ち、この場合、複数の機器１１のうちエアコン１１１、テレビ１１２、照明機器１１３が操作対象として選択されており、その他の機器、例えば自動掃除ロボット１１４が操作対象として選択されておらず、動作指令が設定されていない状態となっている。 Further, for example, “return home” is stored as a life scene in association with the voice “Ima”, and “ON” is output as an operation command output to the air conditioner 111, “ON” is output as an operation command output to the television 112, illumination “ON” is stored as an operation command to be output to the device 113. That is, in this case, among the plurality of devices 11, the air conditioner 111, the television 112, and the lighting device 113 are selected as the operation targets, and other devices such as the automatic cleaning robot 114 are not selected as the operation targets. Is not set.
　また、例えば「省エネ」という音声に対応付けて、生活シーンとして「日中に在宅」が格納され、さらに、リモコン１０と通信可能な全ての機器１１に出力する動作指令として「省エネモードオン」が格納されている。なお、リモコン１０と通信可能な全ての機器１１ではなく一部の機器１１、例えば電力消費量が大きいエアコン１１１に出力する動作指令を「省エネモードオン」に設定し、その他の機器に出力する動作指令を「省エネモードオフ」に設定することも可能である。また、省エネルギー運転を示す音声としては、「省エネ」に限らず、例えば「節約」、「エコ」など、その他の音声で設定してもよい。また、省エネルギー運転とは、電力の消費量を、例えば通常時の消費量あるいは平均的な消費量よりも抑えるようにした運転のことであり、電力消費量の低減化を図った運転である。 Further, for example, “at home during the day” is stored as a life scene in association with the voice “energy saving”, and “energy saving mode ON” is output as an operation command to be output to all devices 11 that can communicate with the remote controller 10. Stored. Note that the operation command to be output to not all devices 11 that can communicate with the remote controller 10 but some devices 11, for example, the air conditioner 111 that consumes a large amount of power, is set to “energy saving mode on” and output to other devices. It is also possible to set the command to “energy saving mode off”. Further, the voice indicating the energy saving operation is not limited to “energy saving”, but may be set by other voices such as “saving” and “eco”. Further, the energy saving operation is an operation in which the power consumption is controlled to be lower than, for example, the normal consumption or the average consumption, and is an operation in which the power consumption is reduced.
　なお、以上に示した動作指令データベースＤＢは一例である。従って、動作指令データベースＤＢには、種々の音声に対応付けて、種々の生活シーンを任意に設定することができ、また、種々の音声及び生活シーンに対応付けて、各機器１１に出力する動作指令を任意に設定することができる。 The operation command database DB shown above is an example. Accordingly, in the operation command database DB, various life scenes can be arbitrarily set in association with various voices, and operations output to the respective devices 11 in association with various voices and life scenes. Commands can be set arbitrarily.
　音声認識部６１は、音声認識手段の一例であり、マイク３１で取得したユーザが発した音声を認識する。この音声認識部６１は、記憶部３６に記憶されている音声認識用データベースから、マイク３１で取得した音声に合致にする音声データを抽出することで音声を認識する。なお、音声認識部６１は、ユーザの声だけでなく、例えば拍手音なども認識することができる。 The voice recognition unit 61 is an example of voice recognition means, and recognizes the voice uttered by the user acquired by the microphone 31. The voice recognition unit 61 recognizes the voice by extracting voice data that matches the voice acquired by the microphone 31 from the voice recognition database stored in the storage unit 36. Note that the voice recognition unit 61 can recognize not only the voice of the user but also, for example, a clap sound.
　生活シーン推定処理部６２は、生活シーン推定手段の一例であり、音声認識部６１により認識された１つの音声に基づいて動作指令データベースＤＢを参照することにより、ユーザの生活シーンを推定する。この場合、例えば音声認識部６１により「おはよう」という１つの音声が認識された場合、生活シーン推定処理部６２は、その１つの音声に基づいて、ユーザの生活シーンが「起床」であると推定する。 The life scene estimation processing unit 62 is an example of a life scene estimation unit, and estimates a user's life scene by referring to the operation command database DB based on one voice recognized by the voice recognition unit 61. In this case, for example, when one voice “Good morning” is recognized by the voice recognition unit 61, the life scene estimation processing unit 62 estimates that the user's life scene is “wake up” based on the one voice. To do.
　また、例えば音声認識部６１により「おやすみ」という１つの音声が認識された場合、生活シーン推定処理部６２は、その１つの音声に基づいて、ユーザの生活シーンが「就寝」であると推定する。また、例えば音声認識部６１により「行ってきます」という１つの音声が認識された場合、生活シーン推定処理部６２は、その１つの音声に基づいて、ユーザの生活シーンが「外出」であると推定する。 For example, when one voice “good night” is recognized by the voice recognition unit 61, the life scene estimation processing unit 62 estimates that the user's life scene is “sleeping” based on the one voice. . For example, when one voice “I will go” is recognized by the voice recognition unit 61, the life scene estimation processing unit 62 determines that the user's life scene is “going out” based on the one voice. presume.
　また、例えば音声認識部６１により「ただいま」という１つの音声が認識された場合、生活シーン推定処理部６２は、その１つの音声に基づいて、ユーザの生活シーンが「帰宅」であると推定する。また、例えば音声認識部６１により「省エネ」という１つの音声が認識された場合、生活シーン推定処理部６２は、その１つの音声に基づいて、ユーザの生活シーンが「日中に在宅」であると推定する。なお、ここに示した生活シーンは一例であり、種々の音声に対応付けて種々の生活シーンを任意に設定することができる。 Further, for example, when one voice “immediately” is recognized by the voice recognition unit 61, the life scene estimation processing unit 62 estimates that the user's life scene is “home” based on the one voice. . For example, when one voice “energy saving” is recognized by the voice recognition unit 61, the life scene estimation processing unit 62 determines that the user's life scene is “at home during the day” based on the one voice. Estimated. The life scene shown here is an example, and various life scenes can be arbitrarily set in association with various sounds.
　機器選択処理部６３は、機器選択手段の一例であり、生活シーン推定処理部６２が推定した生活シーンに応じた機器を選択する。この場合、例えば生活シーン推定処理部６２が推定した生活シーンが「起床」である場合、機器選択処理部６３は、その「起床」シーンに応じた機器として、エアコン１１１、テレビ１１２、照明機器１１３を選択する。即ち、機器選択処理部６３は、動作指令データベースＤＢにおいて、認識音声「おはよう」及び生活シーン「起床」に対応付けて動作指令が格納されている機器１１を選択する。 The device selection processing unit 63 is an example of a device selection unit, and selects a device according to the life scene estimated by the life scene estimation processing unit 62. In this case, for example, when the life scene estimated by the life scene estimation processing unit 62 is “getting up”, the device selection processing unit 63 uses the air conditioner 111, the television 112, and the lighting device 113 as devices corresponding to the “wake up” scene. Select. That is, the device selection processing unit 63 selects the device 11 in which the operation command is stored in association with the recognized voice “Good morning” and the life scene “Wake up” in the operation command database DB.
　また、例えば生活シーン推定処理部６２が推定した生活シーンが「就寝」である場合、機器選択処理部６３は、その「就寝」シーンに応じた機器として、エアコン１１１、テレビ１１２、照明機器１１３を選択する。即ち、機器選択処理部６３は、動作指令データベースＤＢにおいて、認識音声「おやすみ」及び生活シーン「就寝」に対応付けて動作指令が格納されている機器１１を選択する。また、例えば生活シーン推定処理部６２が推定した生活シーンが「外出」である場合、機器選択処理部６３は、その「外出」シーンに応じた機器として、エアコン１１１、テレビ１１２、照明機器１１３、自動掃除ロボット１１４を選択する。即ち、機器選択処理部６３は、動作指令データベースＤＢにおいて、認識音声「行ってきます」及び生活シーン「外出」に対応付けて動作指令が格納されている機器１１を選択する。 For example, when the life scene estimated by the life scene estimation processing unit 62 is “sleeping”, the device selection processing unit 63 uses the air conditioner 111, the television 112, and the lighting device 113 as devices corresponding to the “sleeping” scene. select. That is, the device selection processing unit 63 selects the device 11 in which the operation command is stored in the operation command database DB in association with the recognized voice “good night” and the life scene “sleeping”. For example, when the life scene estimated by the life scene estimation processing unit 62 is “going out”, the device selection processing unit 63 includes, as devices corresponding to the “outing” scene, the air conditioner 111, the television 112, the lighting device 113, The automatic cleaning robot 114 is selected. That is, the device selection processing unit 63 selects the device 11 in which the operation command is stored in association with the recognition voice “I will go” and the life scene “going out” in the operation command database DB.
　また、例えば生活シーン推定処理部６２が推定した生活シーンが「帰宅」である場合、機器選択処理部６３は、その「帰宅」シーンに応じた機器として、エアコン１１１、テレビ１１２、照明機器１１３を選択する。即ち、機器選択処理部６３は、動作指令データベースＤＢにおいて、認識音声「ただいま」及び生活シーン「帰宅」に対応付けて動作指令が格納されている機器１１を選択する。また、例えば生活シーン推定処理部６２が推定した生活シーンが「日中に在宅」である場合、機器選択処理部６３は、その「日中に在宅」シーンに応じた機器として、リモコン１０と通信可能な全ての機器１１を選択する。即ち、機器選択処理部６３は、動作指令データベースＤＢに動作指令が格納されている全ての機器１１を選択する。なお、以上に示した機器１１の選択パターンは一例であり、種々の生活シーンに対応付けて機器１１の選択パターンを任意に設定することができる。また、機器選択処理部６３は、動作指令データベースＤＢに基づいて機器１１を選択することができ、或いは、動作指令データベースＤＢに基づかず当該機器選択処理部６３により独自に機器１１を選択することも可能である。 For example, when the life scene estimated by the life scene estimation processing unit 62 is “return home”, the device selection processing unit 63 uses the air conditioner 111, the television 112, and the illumination device 113 as devices corresponding to the “return home” scene. select. That is, the device selection processing unit 63 selects the device 11 in which the motion command is stored in the motion command database DB in association with the recognition voice “Tadaima” and the life scene “return home”. For example, when the life scene estimated by the life scene estimation processing unit 62 is “at home during the day”, the device selection processing unit 63 communicates with the remote controller 10 as a device corresponding to the “at home during the day” scene. Select all possible devices 11. That is, the device selection processing unit 63 selects all the devices 11 whose operation commands are stored in the operation command database DB. The selection pattern of the device 11 described above is an example, and the selection pattern of the device 11 can be arbitrarily set in association with various life scenes. Further, the device selection processing unit 63 can select the device 11 based on the operation command database DB, or the device selection processing unit 63 can independently select the device 11 without using the operation command database DB. Is possible.
　操作信号送信処理部６４は、操作信号送信手段の一例であり、音声認識部６１で認識された１つの音声に基づいて、記憶部３６に格納されている動作指令データベースＤＢから該当する動作指令を抽出し、その動作指令を含む操作信号を生成する。そして、操作信号送信処理部６４は、生成した操作信号を、送受信ユニット３７の送信素子３４を介して複数の機器１１にそれぞれ送信する。この場合、操作信号送信処理部６４は、リモコン１０と通信可能な全ての機器１１にそれぞれ操作信号を送信するのではなく、機器選択処理部６３が選択した各機器１１に対応する動作指令を動作指令データベースＤＢから抽出して操作信号を生成し、それら操作信号を機器選択処理部６３が選択した各機器１１にそれぞれ送信するように設定されている。 The operation signal transmission processing unit 64 is an example of an operation signal transmission unit. Based on one voice recognized by the voice recognition unit 61, the operation signal transmission processing unit 64 receives a corresponding operation command from the operation command database DB stored in the storage unit 36. An operation signal including the operation command is generated by extraction. Then, the operation signal transmission processing unit 64 transmits the generated operation signal to each of the plurality of devices 11 via the transmission element 34 of the transmission / reception unit 37. In this case, the operation signal transmission processing unit 64 does not transmit the operation signal to all the devices 11 that can communicate with the remote controller 10, but operates the operation command corresponding to each device 11 selected by the device selection processing unit 63. The operation signal is generated by extracting from the command database DB, and the operation signal is set to be transmitted to each device 11 selected by the device selection processing unit 63.
　例えば、音声認識部６１で認識された１つの音声が「おはよう」である場合には、操作信号送信処理部６４は、エアコン１１１に送信する操作信号として「オン」を含む操作信号を生成して当該エアコン１１１に送信し、テレビ１１２に送信する操作信号として「オン」を含む操作信号を生成して当該テレビ１１２に送信し、照明機器１１３に送信する操作信号として「オン」を含む操作信号を生成して当該照明機器１１３に送信する。 For example, when one voice recognized by the voice recognition unit 61 is “good morning”, the operation signal transmission processing unit 64 generates an operation signal including “ON” as an operation signal to be transmitted to the air conditioner 111.
