Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the operation display device for the remote control system in which a television receiver on market is used for a display section and is used for a television receiver receiving a broadcast without direct connection between the television receiver on market and an operation section. CONSTITUTION:A communication line L interconnects a main controller 1 of a remote control system and an actuator 2 controlled based on control data sent from the main controller 1 and interconnects an operation section 3 being a component of an operation display device A and a display generating section 4 through communication sections 5,6 respectively. The operation section 3 sends operation information to the main controller 1 through the communication section 5 and the communication line L. The display generating section 4 receives a display generation request sent from the main controller 1 through the communication line L and the communication section 6 and generates and outputs pattern information used for pattern display on a display section such as a television receiver in response to the content of the display generation request.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an operation display device of a remote operation system for operating equipment and displaying status in different places.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional operation display device used in a remote control system, a display generation unit for generating screen display information is integrated with an operation unit.

[0003]

When a commercially available television receiver is used as the display unit of the conventional operation display device having the above-mentioned structure, the television receiver is directly connected to the display generation unit provided in the operation unit. It was necessary to connect them, and there was the problem that the wiring would get in the way. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the purpose thereof is to use a commercially available television receiver as a display unit without directly connecting the commercially available television receiver and the operation unit. In particular, the present invention provides an operation display device of a remote operation system that can be used as a general television receiver that receives a broadcast.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is connected to a communication path to which a main control device and a control terminal controlled by control data from the main control device are connected. In the operation display device of the remote control system that sends operation information to the main control device and displays based on the display generation request from the main control device, the operation unit is connected to the communication path via the communication unit and the display generation request is issued. A display generation unit that generates screen information based on the above is connected to a communication path via another communication unit, so that the operation unit and the display generation unit can be installed separately.

[0005]

Thus, according to the present invention, the operating section and the display generating section can be installed independently of each other, and therefore, without special switching means and without being directly connected to the operating section, It is possible to use a commercially available television receiver as the display unit and as a general television receiver.

[0006]

1 shows a basic configuration of a remote control system using the present invention. A main control unit 1 of the remote control system and a control sent from the main control unit 1 are provided on a communication path L. The actuator 2 controlled based on the data is connected, and the operation unit 3 and the display generation unit 4 constituting the operation display device A of the present invention are connected via the communication units 5 and 6.

The operation unit 3 is provided with an operation switch and the like, and the operation information of the operation switch is sent to the main controller 1 through the communication unit 5 and the communication path L. The main controller 1 sends control data to the actuator 2 via the communication path L for control based on a preset program, and sends a display generation request for display generation to the display generation unit 4 via the communication path L. .

The display generation unit 4 outputs screen information for screen display according to the content of the display generation request received via the communication unit 6. By sending this screen information to a commercially available television receiver, the television receiver can be used as a display unit. That is, in the operation display device of the present invention, it is possible to independently exchange information between the operation unit 3, the display generation unit 4 and the main control device 1 using the communication units 5 and 6 via the communication path L. Since it is possible, the display generation unit 4 can be installed in another place independently of the operation unit 3, and it is not necessary to directly connect the television receiver forming the display unit to the operation unit 3. ..

In FIG. 2, the screen information from the display generation unit 4 is converted by the TV signal converter 9 into a signal of an empty channel of the TV signal, and then the received signal of the TV broadcast received by the TV antenna 10 and the mixer 11. after mixing, shows an example of use which is adapted placed on television both hearing line L ₀ of the existing, in this case the television co hearing line L ₀ demultiplexed device 7
The television receivers 8 ₁ ... Connected via the can be used as a television receiver for receiving a television broadcast by selecting a channel or as a display portion of an operation display device of a remote control system.

[0010] In this case, a plurality so as to correspond to the operation portion 3 of the remote control system to each of the television receiver 8 ₁ ..., a television receiver 8 ₁ ... be provided on a television receiver 8 ₁ ... vicinity, The operation display device is configured by the operation unit 3 and the display generation unit 4 installed at a remote position. The operation units 3 have an equal relationship when viewed from the main control device 1, and the actuator 2 can be controlled by the operation information of any operation unit 3.

It should be noted that a part of the functions of the main control device 1 may be provided in the operation unit 3 so that the operation unit 3 can control the generation of the screen information of the display generation unit 4.

[0012]

The present invention is connected to a communication path to which a main control device and a control terminal controlled by control data from the main control device are connected, and sends operation information to the main control device and the main control device. In the operation display device of the remote control system that performs display based on the display generation request from the display generation unit, a display generation unit that connects the operation unit to the communication path via the communication unit and generates screen information based on the display generation request is separately provided. Since the operation unit and the display generation unit can be separately installed by connecting to the communication path via the communication unit of, the operation unit and the display generation unit can be installed independently of each other, and therefore special switching is possible. There is an effect that a commercially available television receiver can be used as a display portion and as a television receiver for receiving general broadcasts without any means and without being directly connected to the operation portion.
