Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a remote control system for transmitting a plurality of word data, in which a display device for displaying word data to be transmitted is provided on the control device side.

Conventionally, a remote control system that transmits and receives multiple word data is as shown in Figure 1.
The control device 1 on the side of transmitting word data transmits the word data from the transmitter 5 to the receiver 7 on the side of the controlled device 9 so that it is displayed on the display 2 every time a button on the operation keyboard 4 is pressed. was.

By the way, in the above-mentioned remote control system, since the display 2 is provided on the side of the controlled device 9, it is possible to make reservations for television broadcast programs, etc.
When setting a program consisting of multiple words that requires display, such as a video tape recorder's recording reservation, a video disc player's playback program, or a computer program, it may be difficult to check the settings from a remote location. It was hot.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances in conventional remote control systems, in which program data consisting of multiple word data such as recording reservation for a video tape recorder is displayed on a display means provided on the control device side. Displayed all at once, you can check the contents of each word data at a glance.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a remote control system that transmits multiple word data, which allows program data setting to be performed accurately and quickly from a location remote from a controlled device, and also allows for extremely easy transmission operations after confirmation. There is.

For this reason, the present invention provides a video tape recorder that is a set of multiple pieces of elemental information that needs to be judged and determined for each of the recording day of the week, recording channel, recording start time, recording end time, etc., which is composed of a series of multiple word data. In a remote control system in which recording reservation program data is set on a control device side and multiple word data is transmitted to a controlled device, the control device is provided with display means for collectively displaying the set program data. ,
The present invention is characterized in that it is provided with a transmitting means for displaying the above-mentioned program data all at once on the display means and transmitting desired program data all at once to the controlled device after confirmation and setting.

Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 11 denotes a control device for setting recording reservation program data for a video tape recorder consisting of a series of multiple word data such as recording day of the week, recording channel, recording start time, recording end time, etc. In the embodiment, a display 12 and a data transmission button 13 are provided on the control device 11 side, together with an operation keyboard 14, a transmitter 15, and a receiver 16.

On the other hand, a receiver 17 and a transmitter 18 for bidirectional data transmission with the transmitter 15 and receiver 16 are provided on the side of the controlled device 19 as a video tape recorder.

In the above system, the recording day, recording channel,
When a series of a plurality of word data constituting the video tape recorder's recording reservation program data including a recording start time, a recording end time, etc. is set using the operation keyboard 14, the word data is displayed on the display 12.

In the above state, after confirming the displayed word data on the display 12, by pressing the data transmission button 13,
The transmitter 15 transmits a data transmission start request signal.

The data transmission start request signal is received by the receiver 17 and input to the controlled device 19, and the controlled device 19 transmits a data reception authorization signal from the transmitter 18.

When the receiver 16 receives the data reception authorization signal, the transmitter 15 of the control device 11 starts transmitting the plural word data.

Here, the first word of the multiple word data to be transferred is transmitted from the transmitter 15, and this is transmitted to the receiver 1.
7 receives it, the controlled device 19 stores it in a memory (not shown), and transmits the first word to the receiver 16 of the control device 11 by the transmitter 18.

The control device 11 compares the data received by the receiver 16 with the first word of the multi-word data previously transmitted by the transmitter 15, and when the two match, transmits a data match detection signal from the transmitter 15. do.

The receiver 17 on the controlled device 19 side receives the data coincidence detection signal, and the controlled device 19 recognizes the data previously stored in the memory as regular data, and issues a data transmission request requesting transmission of the next data. By transmitting the signal to the control device 11, data transmission of the first word is completed.

If no data match is found,
Data transmission is performed again from the control device 11 side. Transmission of a plurality of word data is completed by repeating the above operation for the number of words of the series of data.

As can be seen from the above, the display 12 is connected to the control device 1
Since it is provided on the first side, the word data to be transmitted can be easily confirmed.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is different from the embodiment shown in FIG.
The receiver 16 on the control device 11 side and the transmitter 18 on the controlled device 19 are omitted, and the system is effective for systems with a small number of transmission words compared to the system shown in FIG.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 above, by pressing the data transmission button 13 after setting the multi-word data to be transmitted using the operation keyboard 14, the multi-word data is encoded in the control device 11 and sent to the transmitter as one data. I am trying to transmit from 15.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, in order to ensure the transmission operation, it is sufficient to add an error check code to the data code or to transmit the transmission data multiple times.

As is clear from the detailed description above, according to the present invention, it is possible to judge and determine the recording day of the week, recording channel, recording start time, recording end time, etc., which are composed of a series of a plurality of set word data. Since the necessary multiple sets of recording reservation program data for the video tape recorder are displayed all at once on the display means provided on the control device side, the contents of each word data of the set program data can be confirmed at a glance. This makes it convenient to check and correct incorrect settings in a short period of time.

In addition, since the set program data can be confirmed and sent all at once to the controlled device using the sending means, the sending operation is extremely easy, and a series of multiple word data can be programmed from a location far from the controlled device. Data setting work can be performed accurately and quickly.
