Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent from failing to view a required program by mounting a schedule display such as a program table on a remote controller. CONSTITUTION:On the surface of a main body, a display part for displaying the program and a time display setting part for setting a present time or a reserved time are disposed. The display such as the program table of the display part can be varied and a time display such as a scale is adapted synchronously with the time display setting part or in the position of the display. In order to make the display variable, a display body 3 such as the program table may be formed of a plane form material such as paper, provided with a frame body 4 and freely removed or the display body 3 may be formed of an electric display material such as a liquid crustal and electrically display data. In order to set the present time or the reserved time in the display body such as the program display, an LED display body 5 may be disposed in the periphery of the frame body 4 or the display body 3 to irradiate from the back face of the program table and understand the time position. The program table is added to the remote controller and interlocked therewith in time conveniently.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a television remote controller (hereinafter referred to as a remote control). It has become possible to freely control TV channels, volume, etc. using a remote control. In recent years, the number of broadcast channels has increased, and it has become more common for viewers to miss necessary information without even realizing it.

In research on TV viewer ratings, there is an increasing demand for research on who is watching the commercial and whether the commercial is being viewed in the way the sponsor desires and whether it will lead to an increase in product sales. This means that it has become necessary to analyze the essence of the television viewing situation.

It is common to read the morning newspaper in front of you to see what's on and make a reservation if you use a reservation system, or mark it in the TV section of the newspaper. People tend to miss watching the programs they need to watch because they are looking for a newspaper or are busy and forget to make a reservation. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a television remote controller which is characterized by being equipped with a schedule display such as a program list on the remote control which has become necessary for viewing television. Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings. A display section 1 for displaying programs and a time display setting section 2 for setting the current time and reserved time are provided on the surface of the main body. The display of the program list etc. on the display section 1 is variable, and the time display such as a scale is adapted to the time display setting section 2 either synchronously or in terms of display position. Variable display means that the display body 3 such as a program guide may be made of a planar material such as paper, and the frame body 4 may be attached or detached. Alternatively, the display body 3 may be formed of an electrical display material such as liquid crystal to electrically display data. In either case, the display changes every day like a program, so it needs to be variable. To set the current time or reserved time on a display 3 such as a program guide, an LED display 5 may be placed around the frame 4 or the display 3, and the LED display 5 may be illuminated from the back of the program guide so that the time position can be determined. I'll make it like that. Synchronous or adapted to the display position means that the time displayed on the program guide is controlled by a clock signal from the clock circuit 6 built into the remote controller, and the time is displayed in accordance with the two-dimensional time representation of the program guide. That's a thing. Promotional advertisements can be printed or displayed on the program guide. The size can be reduced by writing the program guide in thin letters, but since it is difficult to read, a Fresnel lens 7 may be attached. If the display is electrical, program guide data may be transferred and input separately. A control unit 8 including a memory, a CPU, etc. may be provided. It is input via the transmission section 9. The transmission system may be wireless or wired, and in the case of wired transmission, it may be via a telephone or CATU communication system. In the case of a wireless system, a direct wireless broadcast input may be used, or a prefectural wired system such as a telephone or CATU may be wirelessly relayed indoors. The wireless carrier wave may be a radio wave, an infrared ray, an ultrasonic wave, or the like. Also, human body identification sensor lO to know who is watching.
may be added to the remote control. The human body identification sensor IO may be an image sensor, a human body radiation sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic sensor, or the like. Various sensors may be combined. Individual identification of the human body is possible based on the fingers and shape of the human hand. For example, the ratio of the length of the fingers of the hand or the area of the palm. Individual information can be obtained by creating a structure in which the parameters for the specification can be collected depending on the shape of the grip. By collecting this information, audience ratings can be measured. The remote control always needs to be operated by hand, and viewing the program guide allows you to see the approaching situation, making it easier to collect individual information.

Look at the program guide and press the channel control button.

If there is a sensor at that time, it will detect the number of people and individual identification information. When the individual identification is not sufficiently determined, the individual identification request display section 11 is activated to request that the identification button be pressed.

To list the effects, it is convenient that a program guide is attached to the remote control and is linked in time. Since it is always visible, it is possible to place advertisements on it, and since it is replaced every day, the amount of advertisements is large. It is possible to improve viewer ratings by combining TV viewing and advertising. By attaching sensors, individual information can be obtained and individual audience ratings can be obtained. It is easy to collect sensor information because it is used in close proximity.

By doing it manually, you can obtain highly accurate information.

It is controlled by the CPU and has a learning function and an artificial intelligence brain, which allows it to work like a robot and understand the viewing situation in detail. The remote control may be shaped like a doll or robot. As described above, this is an effective invention that is suitable for television viewing formats.
