Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、車両用機器等の操作対象機器を遠隔操作するためのリモートコントロール装置およびリモートコントロール信号の送信方法の技術分野に属するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種リモートコントロール装置(赤外線方式等)の送信機側は、図5に示す従来例1の様に、送信スイッチの操作に応じて作動開始用信号を所定の周期で送信する一方、受信機側は、作動開始用信号の受信に応じて操作対象機器を作動させた後、作動開始用信号の継続受信に応じて操作対象機器の作動を継続させるように構成されていたが、前記作動開始用信号は、識別コードや機能コードを含む長いコード信号であるため、該コード信号を所定の周期で送信する上記の送信機においては、スイッチ操作時間に対する送信時間比率(赤外LED点灯時間比率等)が大きく、そのため電池寿命が短くなる不都合があった。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
そこで、図6に示す従来例2の様に、送信機側では、送信スイッチの操作始めに作動開始用信号を送信した後、該作動開始用信号よりも送信時間が短い作動継続用信号を所定の周期で送信する一方、受信機側では、作動開始用信号の受信に応じて操作対象機器を作動させた後、作動継続用信号の受信に応じて操作対象機器の作動を継続させるように構成し、その結果、送信時間比率を小さくして送信機の電池寿命を延すことが提案されている。しかるに、このものでは、送信スイッチの操作中に意図しない受信信号の途切れが発生すると、それに伴って時間T3後に停止した操作対象機器は、再び作動開始用信号を受信するまで停止状態を維持するため、操作対象機器を作動させるために送信スイッチの再操作が必要になる不都合があった。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、上記の如き実情に鑑みこれらの課題を解決することを目的として創作されたものであって、請求項1の発明は、送信スイッチの操作に応じてリモートコントロール信号を送信するリモートコントロール装置であって、該リモートコントロール装置に、所定の操作対象機器の作動を開始させるための作動開始用信号と、該作動開始用信号よりも送信時間が短く、前記操作対象機器の作動を継続させるための作動継続用信号とを設定すると共に、送信スイッチの操作始めに作動開始用信号を送信する作動開始用信号送信手段と、送信スイッチが前記操作始めから継続操作されているあいだ、作動継続用信号を所定の周期で送信しつつ、該作動継続用信号が送信されているあいだに作動継続用信号の送信周期よりも長い周期で作動開始用信号を再送信する作動継続用信号送信および作動開始用信号再送信手段を設けたことを特徴とするリモートコントロール装置である。
請求項2の発明は、送信スイッチの操作に応じて送信されるリモートコントロール信号の送信方法であって、所定の操作対象機器の作動を開始させるための作動開始用信号と、該作動開始用信号よりも送信時間が短く、前記操作対象機器の作動を継続させるための作動継続用信号とを設定し、送信スイッチの操作始めに作動開始用信号を送信した後、送信スイッチが前記操作始めから継続操作されている場合、作動継続用信号を所定の周期で送信しつつ、該作動継続用信号が送信されているあいだに作動継続用信号の送信周期よりも長い周期で前記作動開始用信号を再送信することを特徴とするリモートコントロール信号の送信方法である。
即ち、作動開始用信号よりも送信時間が短い作動継続用信号を送信して操作対象機器の作動を継続させるものでありながら、送信スイッチの継続操作中は、作動継続用信号を送信しつつ、該作動継続信号の送信周期よりも長い周期で作動開始用信号を再送信するようにしたため、意図しない受信信号の途切れが発生しても、それに伴って停止した操作対象機器は、所定の周期で再送信される作動開始用信号に応じて再び作動することになり、その結果、上記の状況における送信スイッチの再操作を不要にして操作性の向上を計ることができる。
【0005】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明の実施の形態の一つを図面に基づいて説明する。図面において、1は赤外線方式のリモートコントロール装置であって、該リモートコントロール装置1の送信機2は、所定個数の送信スイッチ(押釦スイッチ)3、該送信スイッチ3の操作信号を入力する送信制御部4、該送信制御部4から出力される送信信号に応じて発光素子(赤外LED)5を点滅駆動させる発光駆動回路6、各部に電源供給をする電池7等で構成されている。
【0006】
一方、8はリモートコントロール装置1の受信機であって、該受信機8は、送信機2からの赤外線信号を受光する受光素子9、該受光素子9の受光信号を信号入力回路10を介して入力する受信制御部11、該受信制御部11から出力される作動信号に応じて操作対象機器12を作動させる機器作動回路13等で構成されているが、これらの基本構成は何れも従来通りである。
【0007】
図4において、Aは送信機2が送信する作動開始用信号であって、該作動開始用信号Aは、送信した送信機2を識別するための識別コード、操作された送信スイッチ3を判別するための機能コード等を含むコードデータ信号である。また、Bは作動継続用信号であって、該作動継続用信号Bは、作動開始用信号Aよりも送信時間が短く設定された単発信号であり、本実施形態の送信機2にあっては、送信スイッチ3の操作始めに作動開始用信号Aを送信した後、送信スイッチ3の継続操作に応じて作動継続用信号Bを周期T1で送信するようになっている。つまり、受信機8側においては、図2に示す如く、作動開始用信号Aの受信に応じて操作対象機器12の作動を開始すると共に、作動継続用信号B(または作動開始用信号A)の受信に応じて操作対象機器12の作動を継続させるように構成されているため、作動開始用信号Aのみを所定の周期で送信するものに比して、送信スイッチ3の操作時間に対する発光素子5の点灯時間比率を小さくでき、その結果、送信機2の電池寿命を延すことができるようになっている。
【0008】
次に、前記送信機2の送信制御部4が実行する送信制御を図3に示すフローチャートに基づいて説明する。さて、送信制御においては、送信スイッチ3のON/OFFを判断すると共に、該判断がONである場合には、操作始め(OFF→ON)であるか否かを判断し、該判断がYESの場合には、タイマT1、T2(T1<T2)の計時を開始した後、前記作動開始用信号Aを送信する。そして、送信スイッチ3が継続的に操作されている場合には、タイマT1、T2の経過を判断し、ここでタイマT1の経過を判断する毎に、タイマT1の計時をリセットすると共に、前記作動継続用信号Bを送信するが、タイマT2の経過を判断した際には、作動開始用信号Aを再送信するようになっている。即ち、送信スイッチ3の操作始めに作動開始用信号Aを送信した後、送信スイッチ3の継続操作に応じて作動継続用信号Bを周期T1で送信しつつ、該送信周期T1よりも長い周期T2で作動開始用信号Aを再送信するようにしたため、作動開始用信号Aよりも送信時間が短い作動継続用信号Bを送信して操作対象機器12の作動を継続させるものでありながら、送信スイッチ3の継続操作中に意図しない受信信号の途切れが発生しても、それに伴って停止した操作対象機器12が周期T2で再送信される作動開始用信号Aに応じて再び作動することになる。
【0009】
叙述の如く構成されたものにおいて、送信スイッチ3の操作に応じてリモートコントロール送信を送信する送信機2に、操作対象機器12の作動を開始させる作動開始用信号Aと、該作動開始用信号Aよりも送信時間が短い作動継続用信号Bとを設定し、送信スイッチ3の操作始めに作動開始用信号Aを送信した後、送信スイッチ3の継続操作に応じて作動継続用信号Bを周期T1で送信するにあたり、送信スイッチ3の継続操作中は、作動継続用信号Bを周期T1で送信しつつ、該送信周期T1よりも長い周期T2で作動開始用信号Aを再送信するようにしたため、作動開始用信号Aよりも送信時間が短い作動継続用信号Bを送信して操作対象機器12の作動を継続させるものでありながら、送信スイッチ3の継続操作中に意図しない受信信号の途切れが発生しても、それに伴って停止した操作対象機器12が周期T2で再送信される作動開始用信号Aに応じて再び作動することになる。従って、送信機2の向きの変化、障害物の通過等で受信信号が途切れ、それに伴って操作対象機器12が停止した場合に、送信スイッチ3を再押ししなくても操作対象機器12を再作動させることができ、その結果、操作負担を軽減して送信機2の操作性を向上させることができる。

The machine side is configured to operate the operation target device in response to the reception of the operation start signal and then continue to operate the operation target device in response to the continuous reception of the operation start signal. Since the start signal is a long code signal including an identification code and a function code, in the transmitter that transmits the code signal at a predetermined cycle, the transmission time ratio (infrared LED lighting time ratio) with respect to the switch operation time. Etc.) and the battery life is shortened.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, as in the conventional example 2 shown in FIG. 6, the transmitter side transmits an operation start signal at the beginning of the operation of the transmission switch, and then transmits an operation continuation signal having a transmission time shorter than the operation start signal. On the other hand, the receiver side is configured to operate the operation target device in response to the reception of the operation start signal and then to continue the operation of the operation target device in response to the reception of the operation continuation signal. As a result, it has been proposed to reduce the transmission time ratio and extend the battery life of the transmitter. However, in this case, when an unintended reception signal is interrupted during the operation of the transmission switch, the operation target device stopped after time T3 maintains the stopped state until the operation start signal is received again. There is a disadvantage that it is necessary to re-operate the transmission switch in order to operate the operation target device.
[0004]

The invention of claim 2 is a method of transmitting a remote control signal transmitted in response to an operation of a transmission switch, the operation start signal for starting the operation of a predetermined operation target device , and the operation start signal The transmission time is shorter, the operation continuation signal for continuing the operation of the operation target device is set, the transmission start signal is transmitted at the beginning of the operation of the transmission switch, and then the transmission switch continues from the beginning of the operation. when operating, while sending a continuously operating signal at a predetermined cycle, the operation start signal at a cycle longer than the transmission period of the operation continuation signal to during said operation continuation signal is transmitted again A transmission method of a remote control signal characterized by transmitting.
That is, while transmitting the operation continuation signal whose transmission time is shorter than the operation start signal to continue the operation of the operation target device, while continuing the operation of the transmission switch, while transmitting the operation continuation signal , Since the operation start signal is retransmitted at a cycle longer than the transmission cycle of the operation continuation signal, even if an unintentional reception signal is interrupted, The operation is resumed according to the re-transmitted operation start signal. As a result, the operability can be improved by eliminating the need to re-operate the transmission switch in the above situation.
[0005]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes an infrared remote control device. A transmitter 2 of the remote control device 1 includes a predetermined number of transmission switches (push button switches) 3 and a transmission control unit for inputting an operation signal of the transmission switch 3. 4, a light emission drive circuit 6 that drives the light emitting element (infrared LED) 5 to blink according to a transmission signal output from the transmission control unit 4, a battery 7 that supplies power to each unit, and the like.
[0006]
On the other hand, 8 is a receiver of the remote control device 1, and the receiver 8 receives a light receiving element 9 that receives an infrared signal from the transmitter 2, and receives a light receiving signal of the light receiving element 9 via a signal input circuit 10. The receiving control unit 11 is input, and the device operating circuit 13 that operates the operation target device 12 according to the operating signal output from the receiving control unit 11 is used. However, these basic configurations are all conventional. is there.
[0007]
In FIG. 4, A is an operation start signal transmitted by the transmitter 2, and the operation start signal A determines an identification code for identifying the transmitted transmitter 2 and the operated transmission switch 3. This is a code data signal including a function code for the purpose. B is an operation continuation signal, and the operation continuation signal B is a single signal whose transmission time is set shorter than that of the operation start signal A. In the transmitter 2 of the present embodiment, After the operation start signal A is transmitted at the beginning of the operation of the transmission switch 3, the operation continuation signal B is transmitted at a cycle T1 in accordance with the continuation operation of the transmission switch 3. That is, on the receiver 8 side, as shown in FIG. 2, the operation of the operation target device 12 is started in response to the reception of the operation start signal A, and the operation continuation signal B (or the operation start signal A) Since the operation of the operation target device 12 is continued in response to the reception, the light emitting element 5 with respect to the operation time of the transmission switch 3 is compared with the case where only the operation start signal A is transmitted at a predetermined cycle. As a result, the battery life of the transmitter 2 can be extended.
[0008]
Next, transmission control executed by the transmission control unit 4 of the transmitter 2 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG. In the transmission control, it is determined whether the transmission switch 3 is ON / OFF. If the determination is ON, it is determined whether the operation is started (OFF → ON), and the determination is YES. In this case, after the timers T1 and T2 (T1 <T2) are started, the operation start signal A is transmitted. When the transmission switch 3 is continuously operated, the time of the timers T1 and T2 is determined. Every time the time of the timer T1 is determined, the time count of the timer T1 is reset and the operation is performed. The continuation signal B is transmitted, but when the elapse of the timer T2 is determined, the operation start signal A is retransmitted. That is, after transmitting the operation start signal A at the beginning of the operation of the transmission switch 3, the operation continuation signal B is transmitted in the cycle T1 according to the continuation operation of the transmission switch 3, and the cycle T2 longer than the transmission cycle T1. Since the operation start signal A is retransmitted at the transmission start signal A, an operation continuation signal B having a transmission time shorter than that of the operation start signal A is transmitted to continue the operation of the operation target device 12. Even if the unintended reception signal is interrupted during the continuation operation 3, the operation target device 12 that is stopped along with the interruption is activated again in response to the operation start signal A that is retransmitted in the cycle T 2.
[0009]
In the configuration as described above, the operation start signal A for starting the operation of the operation target device 12 to the transmitter 2 that transmits the remote control transmission according to the operation of the transmission switch 3, and the operation start signal A The operation continuation signal B having a shorter transmission time is set, the operation start signal A is transmitted at the beginning of the operation of the transmission switch 3, and then the operation continuation signal B is transmitted in the cycle T1 according to the continuation operation of the transmission switch 3. When transmitting with the transmission switch 3, the operation start signal A is retransmitted in the cycle T2 longer than the transmission cycle T1, while the operation continuation signal B is transmitted in the cycle T1, during the continuous operation of the transmission switch 3. Although the operation continuation signal B is transmitted for a shorter transmission time than the operation start signal A and the operation of the operation target device 12 is continued, unintentional reception during the continuous operation of the transmission switch 3 Also it discontinuities No. occurs, will operate again in response to the operation start signal A to the target device 12 was stopped with it is re-transmitted with a period T2. Accordingly, when the reception signal is interrupted due to a change in the direction of the transmitter 2 or the passage of an obstacle, and the operation target device 12 is stopped accordingly, the operation target device 12 is reactivated without pressing the transmission switch 3 again. As a result, the operational burden can be reduced and the operability of the transmitter 2 can be improved.
