Description

  The present invention relates to a transmission device, a reception device, a communication system, a transmission method, a reception method, a transmission control program, and a reception control program. The present invention relates to a transmitter having a transmission function such as a wireless remote control device, a receiver such as a television for receiving a signal from the transmitter, a communication system including these, a transmission method, a reception method, and a transmission The present invention relates to a control program and a reception control program.

  A transmission device having a transmission function such as a remote control device is used for controlling various electronic devices. Such a transmission device is often a portable and miniaturized device. Usually, a portable transmission device uses a primary battery or a secondary battery as a power source in order to exhibit the convenience of being portable. If such an apparatus consumes much power, it is necessary to charge the battery frequently or replace it with a new battery.

  In particular, a transmission device that transmits a radio signal in a remote control device requires a large amount of power for transmission. Therefore, it is necessary to save power as much as possible when designing the apparatus. There are devices that use solar cells, but in this case as well, the point that it is important to reduce power consumption as much as possible is the same as when other batteries are used. The receiving apparatus is also required to reduce power consumption as much as possible from the viewpoint of ecology and power saving in the same manner as the transmitting apparatus.

  Therefore, conventionally, various devices for suppressing power consumption have been performed in a transmission device, a reception device, or a communication system including these. For example, suppressing power consumption by controlling transmission output has been proposed as a first related technique of the present invention (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the first related technique, in order to suppress power consumption caused by erroneous reception of noise, the transmission output is adjusted according to the difference value between the reception signal strength and the stable reception strength.

  In addition, it has been proposed as a second related technique of the present invention to control the intensity of the output signal of the transmission device to reduce the power consumption of the reception device (see, for example, Patent Document 2). In the second related technology, one communication device A adds the detected reception electric field strength when receiving a signal from the other communication device B to the transmission signal. Similarly, the communication device B adds the detected reception electric field strength to the transmission signal. As a result, the electric field strength of the transmission signal monitored by the other party is fed back to each of the communication devices A and B, and the transmission power is controlled based on this feedback.

  Furthermore, it has been proposed as a third related technique of the present invention to control the energization time of the receiving unit to reduce the power consumption of the receiving device (see, for example, Patent Document 3). In the third related technology, the transmitter and the receiver are activated at a constant time interval, and when the receiver turns on the power of the receiver at this time and confirms that there is no received signal, the receiver The power is turned off.

In the memory 122, various control programs and other data are stored, and a memory area for predetermined work is secured. The CPU 121 performs various controls of the wireless remote control transmitter 101 by executing a control program stored in the memory 122.

  The main control unit 123 is connected to the following units via a signal transmission unit 124 such as a data bus, and performs these controls. However, at least a part of these units can be realized in software by the CPU 121 executing a control program.

  The transmission unit 125 transmits data from the wireless remote control transmitter 101 as a frame. The receiving unit 126 receives data as a frame from the wireless remote control receiver 102 shown in FIG. However, this reception is limited to the case where the wireless remote control transmitter 101 and the wireless remote control receiver 102 are set to the adjustment mode. Here, the adjustment mode refers to a mode in which adjustment is performed in order to save power of a battery (primary battery or secondary battery) 127 arranged for power supply in the wireless remote control transmitter 101.

  The display unit 128 includes a liquid crystal display and an organic EL (Organic Electro-Luminescence), and displays visual data when the user operates the wireless remote control transmitter 101. The operation input unit 129 includes, for example, a numeric keypad and a keyboard, and inputs data to be remotely operated.

  The frame creation unit 130 creates a frame that stores data to be transmitted to the wireless remote control transmitter 101. In the present embodiment, all data sent out from the wireless remote control transmitter 101 at once is stored in one frame. The frame creation unit 130 also concatenates the created frames in a predetermined number according to the transmission form. The frame number determination unit 131 determines the number of frames to be transmitted at one time in the adjustment mode, and stores this in the frame number storage area 132 in the memory 122. The frame number determination table 133 is a table used for determining the number of frames in the adjustment mode.

  FIG. 14 shows an outline of the configuration of the wireless remote control receiver. The wireless remote control receiver 102 has a main control unit 143 including a CPU 141 and a memory 142. In the memory 142, various control programs and other data are stored, and a memory area for predetermined work is secured. The CPU 141 executes various control of the wireless remote control receiver 102 by executing a control program stored in the memory 142.

  The main control unit 143 is connected to the following units via a signal transmission unit 144 such as a data bus, and performs these controls. However, at least a part of these units can be realized by software by the CPU 141 executing a control program.

  The transmitting unit 145 transmits the reception result from the wireless remote control receiver 102 to the wireless remote control transmitter 101 (FIG. 12). However, this transmission is limited to the case where the wireless remote control transmitter 101 and the wireless remote control receiver 102 are set to the adjustment mode. The receiving unit 146 receives an operation frame or an adjustment frame in the adjustment mode from the wireless remote control transmitter 101.

  The successful frame number measuring unit 147 measures the number of frames successfully received from a plurality of frames sent from the wireless remote control transmitter 101 at a time in the adjustment mode. The reception result creation unit 148 creates a reception result based on the number of frames successfully received in the adjustment mode. The frame decoding unit 149 decodes the frame sent from the wireless remote control transmitter 101 (FIG. 12). The frame creation unit 150 creates a frame for transmission or connects a predetermined number of frames. The device operation execution unit 151 executes the operation of the wireless remote control receiver 102 based on the decoding result of the frame decoding unit 149 when the wireless remote control receiver 102 is set to the normal mode as a mode other than the adjustment mode. . For example, if the wireless remote control receiver 102 is a television receiver, an operation such as switching the channel of the television broadcast station or adjusting the volume according to the decoding result of the frame decoding unit 149 is executed.

  By the way, in the communication system 100 of this embodiment, when the transmission button is pressed once during the normal operation of the wireless remote control transmitter 101 shown in FIG. 13, the frame in which the transmission data is incorporated is stored in the frame number storage area 132. It is transmitted in a concatenated form by the number of frames. This is because the wireless remote control receiver 102 can reliably receive operation data by transmitting a plurality of frames at a time.

  FIG. 15 shows a frame transmission process performed by the wireless remote control transmitter in the normal mode. This will be described with reference to FIGS.

  Assume that the user presses any key switch (not shown) of the operation input unit 129 in the normal mode (step S201: Y). As an example, assuming that the wireless remote control receiver 102 is a television receiver, it is a case where one of the numeric keys indicating each channel is pressed to switch the reception channel. In this case, the frame creation unit 130 creates one frame incorporating data corresponding to the operation of the operation input unit 129 (pressing any of the numeric keys) (step S202). In this one frame, all data instructed to the wireless remote control receiver 102 by a single operation is incorporated.

  Next, the frame creation unit 130 connects the created frames by the number of frames stored in the frame number storage area 132 (step S203). Thereby, for example, when the user performs an operation to instruct switching of the viewing channel from the operation input unit 129 to the X channel, a concatenated frame in which a predetermined number of one frame instructing switching to the X channel is generated is created. . The transmission unit 125 transmits these concatenated frames as a single transmission operation to the wireless remote control receiver 102 (step S204), and a series of processing ends (end).

  Even if some frames cannot be decoded by the frame decoding unit 149 on the receiving side due to the communication environment or the like, the transmission unit 125 transmits a plurality of frames connected in this way as one transmission operation. Does not cause any problems. That is, as the number of frames to be connected increases, generally, the reliability of communication is improved.

  However, repeatedly transmitting data that can originally be transmitted to the wireless remote control receiver 102 in one frame in a plurality of frames causes waste in the power consumption of the transmission unit 125. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the continuous number of frames at the time of one transmission is adjusted in the adjustment mode so that transmission by the appropriate continuous number of frames is realized.

  FIG. 16 illustrates a process of setting the wireless remote control receiver to the adjustment mode from the wireless remote control transmitter side. This will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The main control unit 123 of the wireless remote control transmitter 101 waits for an adjustment mode button (not shown) of the operation input unit 129 to be pressed by the user (step S221). When the adjustment mode button is pressed (Y), the frame creation unit 130 creates a frame incorporating the adjustment mode start instruction signal. Next, the frame creation unit 130 connects the created frames by the number of frames stored in the frame number storage area 132 (step S223). The transmission unit 125 transmits these series of frames (step S224).

Thereafter, the wireless remote control transmitter 101 waits for reception of a start acceptance notification for accepting the start of the adjustment mode from the wireless remote control receiver 102 (step S225). If the start acceptance notification is not received even after the standby time t has passed the predetermined time t ₁ (step S225: N, step S226: Y), predetermined error processing is performed (step S227), End processing (END). In the error processing in step S227, for example, an error message such as “No receiver detected” is displayed on the display unit 128.

When the reception unit 126 receives a start acceptance notice before the standby time t has passed the predetermined time t ₁ (step S226: N, step S225: Y), adjustment in the adjustment mode is executed (step S228). ), A series of processing ends (end).

  FIG. 17 specifically shows the execution of the adjustment shown in step S228 of FIG. This will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The frame creation unit 130 of the wireless remote control transmitter 101 creates a test frame for adjustment at the initial stage of execution of adjustment (step S241). If such frame test data is stored in the memory 122 in advance, it can be read and used. When no special test data exists, data corresponding to any key of the operation input unit 129 can be used as test data.

  Next, the frame creation unit 130 generates a frame in which the test frames are connected by the number of test frames (step S242). Here, the number of test frames refers to the number of continuous frames transmitted from the wireless remote control transmitter 101 to the wireless remote control receiver 102 in order to check the success rate of frame reception in the adjustment mode. Therefore, the number of test frames is preferably set to be larger than the number of frames used for one transmission in normal times. The number of frames for testing can be incorporated in advance as part of the control program stored in the memory 122, or the system administrator can set the number of frames for testing in the frame number storage area 132 or change the value. You can also do it.

  If the frame which connected the test frame by the number of test frames is produced | generated by step S242, these will be transmitted from the transmission part 125 (step S243). Thereafter, the receiving unit 126 of the wireless remote control transmitter 101 waits for a reception result from the wireless remote control receiver 102 (step S244). When the reception result is received (Y), the frame number determination unit 131 determines the number of frames to be transmitted at one time (step S245). Specifically, the number of frames to be transmitted at one time is determined based on the number of frames successfully received with respect to the number of test frames transmitted from the wireless remote control transmitter 101 to the wireless remote control receiver 102.

  This determination may be performed by calculation using a predetermined calculation formula. In the present embodiment, the frame number determination table 133 is used to determine the number of frames close to the minimum number of frames at which any frame is definitely received, and the resulting value is transmitted at a time. Decide as the number of frames to power. In the frame number determination table 133, an appropriate number of frames per time is stored in advance for each piece of address information including the number of test frames and the number of successfully received frames. The number of frames set in the table is obtained based on experimental results, and may be appropriately modified as necessary.

  In the process of step S244, it is not assumed that no reception result is sent (see step S226 in FIG. 16). This is an omission of processing due to successful reception from the wireless remote control receiver 102 in the immediately preceding step S225 (see FIG. 16). Of course, an error process may be defined when the reception result of steps S226 and S226 is not sent along with the process of step S244.

  When the number of frames is determined in step S245, the frame number determination unit 131 overwrites the frame number storage area 132 with the number of frames to be transmitted at a time determined using the frame number determination table 133 (step S246). Depending on the communication system 100, an environment measurement sensor is arranged on the wireless remote control transmitter 101 side, and the number of frames to be transmitted at one time is stored in the frame number storage area 132 for each communication environment measured by this. You may do it. In this case, the number of frames to be connected in step S203 in FIG. 15 is set according to the measured communication environment.

  When the frame number determination unit 131 finishes storing the number of frames to be transmitted at one time, the frame creation unit 130 creates a frame incorporating the adjustment mode end instruction signal (step S247). Then, a frame in which the created frames are connected by the number of frames as the determined value stored in the frame number storage area 132 is generated (step S248). The transmission unit 125 transmits these concatenated frames to the wireless remote control receiver 102 as one transmission operation (step S249).

In general, the number of frames transmitted at this time is smaller than the number of test frames. That is, this frame transmission also serves as a test to determine whether the wireless remote control receiver 102 has succeeded in receiving with the number of newly set frames. The receiving unit 126 waits for reception of the end acceptance notification (step S250). If the end acceptance notification is received before the standby time t has passed the predetermined time t ₁ (step S251: N, step S250: Y), the adjustment in the adjustment mode is completed successfully (end).

On the other hand, if the start acceptance notification is not received even after the standby time t has passed the predetermined time t ₁ (step S250: N, step S251: Y), predetermined error processing is performed (step S252), End processing (END). In the error processing in step S251, for example, an error message such as “No acceptance notification received” is displayed on the display unit 128.

  FIG. 18 shows a state of processing on the wireless remote control receiver side regarding the adjustment mode of the present embodiment. This will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The receiving unit 146 waits for reception of the adjustment mode start instruction signal (step S271) and reception of the test frame (step S272). It is assumed that continuous frames incorporating the adjustment mode start instruction signal are transmitted in step S224 of FIG. 16 and received by the receiving unit 146 (step S271: Y). In this case, when the frame decoding unit 149 decodes the adjustment mode start instruction signal, the frame creation unit 150 creates a frame indicating the start acceptance notification (step S273).

  Next, the frame creation unit 150 connects a predetermined number of frames indicating the start acceptance notification. The transmission unit 145 transmits the start acceptance notification including the connected frames to the wireless remote control transmitter 101 (step S274). Thereafter, the main control unit 143 sets the wireless remote control receiver 102 to the adjustment mode (step S275), and returns the process to step S271 (return).

  On the other hand, it is assumed that the test frame is transmitted from the wireless remote control transmitter 101 to the wireless remote control receiver 102 in step S243 in FIG. When the receiving unit 146 receives this test frame (step S272: Y), the main control unit 143 checks whether the wireless remote control receiver 102 is set to the adjustment mode (step S276). When a test frame is received when the adjustment mode is not set (N), it is not necessary to perform adjustment processing. Therefore, in this case, the process returns to step S271.

  On the other hand, when the test frame is received during the adjustment mode (step S276: Y), the successful frame number measurement unit 147 has successfully received the frame from the number of test frames sent. Measure the number of frames. At this time, the frame decoding unit 149 decodes the test frame. The frame creation unit 150 creates a frame for transmitting the reception result, and connects a predetermined number of frames (step S278). The transmission unit 145 transmits a frame indicating the reception result to the wireless remote control transmitter 101 (step S279).

  Thereafter, the receiving unit 146 waits for the adjustment mode end instruction signal to be received from the wireless remote control transmitter 101 (step S280). When the reception unit 146 receives the adjustment mode end instruction signal transmitted in step S249 of FIG. 17 (step S280: Y), the frame generation unit 150 generates a frame of the end acceptance notification and concatenates a predetermined number thereof (step S280). S281). The transmission unit 145 transmits the end acceptance notification frame to the wireless remote control transmitter 101 (step S282). The main control unit 143 cancels the adjustment mode at this time (step S283), and returns the process to step S271 (return).

  When the wireless remote control receiver 102 returns to the normal mode in this way, the transmission unit 145 stops its function and the supply of power to this stops. The wireless remote control transmitter 101 does not receive a frame from the wireless remote control receiver 102 in the normal mode. Therefore, the wireless remote control transmitter 101 stops supplying power to the receiving unit 126 shown in FIG. 13 in the normal mode. By such power control, power consumption by the reception unit 126 and the transmission unit 145 specially provided in the communication system 100 according to the present embodiment is performed only in the adjustment mode, and wasteful power consumption can be suppressed. .

FIG. 19 shows the structure of a connected frame for transmission before and after adjustment in the adjustment mode. Of these, FIG. 2A shows the structure of the frame after connection set at the time of factory shipment. A total of M frames F ₁ , F ₂ ,... F _M−1 , F _M are connected, so that they are transmitted in one transmission from the wireless remote control transmitter 101 shown in FIG. It has become.

FIG. 4B shows the structure of the frame after connection after adjustment in the adjustment mode. Assume that M−K frames are determined to be the optimum number of frames from the M frames in the adjustment mode (where K is a positive integer). As a result, after adjustment, a total of M−K frames F ₁ , F ₂ ,... F _MK are transmitted in one transmission from the wireless remote control transmitter 101 shown in FIG. It will be.

  As described above, when the user operates the operation input unit 129 shown in FIG. 12 in the normal mode, a signal in which K frames are decreased from M by M is output from the transmission unit 125 of the wireless remote control transmitter 101. As a result, it is possible to effectively reduce power consumption required for communication in short-range wireless communication such as infrared rays.

  In the embodiment described above, the wireless remote control receiver 102 counts the frames that have been successfully received in the continuous frames sent from the wireless remote control transmitter 101, and the result is sent to the wireless remote control transmitter 101 as a reception result. I sent it. The wireless remote control transmitter 101 determines the number of frames suitable for power saving in one transmission based on the reception result. The present invention is not limited to the case where the wireless remote control transmitter 101 determines the number of frames suitable for power saving as described above.

  That is, when the wireless remote control receiver 102 counts frames that have been successfully received in consecutive frames, the number of frames suitable for power saving may be determined based on this. In this case, the wireless remote control receiver 102 may transmit the determined number of frames to the wireless remote control transmitter 101.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment, the wireless remote control transmitter 101 transmits frames while the transmission power is constant. However, the number of frames may be adjusted in the adjustment mode, and the transmission power may be adjusted accordingly. Is possible.

  In the embodiment, the wireless remote control transmitter 101 and the wireless remote control receiver 102 have been described as examples. However, the present invention is not limited to wireless communication from the viewpoint of power saving, and is applied to wired communication. Is possible. Also, the power source need not be limited to those using a battery, and the present invention can be applied to those using a commercial power source.

  Furthermore, the present invention need not be limited to remote control devices. Needless to say, the present invention is applicable to any communication in which frames having the same content are connected and transmitted.
