Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein programmgesteuertes Haushaltgerät mit einer optischen Anzeigeeinheit bestehend aus ein oder mehreren Anzeigeelementen zur Darstellung von Nutzer- und Programminformationen sowie Prüf- und Serviceinformationen als Klartext und als Symbol.The invention relates to a program-controlled household appliance with an optical Display unit consisting of one or more display elements for display of user and program information as well as test and service information as plain text and as a symbol.

Ein Trend bei modernen Haushaltgeräten geht dahin, dass ihr Funktionsumfang immer mehr erweitert wird. Dies geschieht extensiv durch den Einbau zusätzlicher Baugruppen (z.B. Mikrowelle im Herd oder Trockner in der Waschmaschine) aber auch intensiv durch bessere Auslastung und Anpassung vorhandener Baugruppen an eine größere Anzahl spezieller Anforderungen.A trend in modern household appliances is that their range of functions is expanding more and more. This is done extensively by installing additional ones Assemblies (e.g. microwave in the stove or dryer in the washing machine) however also intensively through better utilization and adaptation of existing assemblies to a larger number of special requirements.

Dem Nutzer wird dadurch eine immer breitere Palette von Anwendungsmöglichkeiten angeboten; die Anzahl der wählbaren Betriebsarten, die Variationsmöglichkeiten und Programme steigen. Verbunden damit ist eine immer umfangreicher werdende Bedienanleitung, und die richtige Auswahl der Programme wird immer schwieriger. Dem begegnen die Hersteller dadurch, dass der Nutzer über die Geräte bzw. ihre Programme unterstützt wird mit dem Ziel, auf die Bedienanleitung nach Möglichkeit zu verzichten.This gives the user an ever broader range of possible applications available; the number of selectable operating modes, the possible variations and programs are increasing. Associated with it is an ever more extensive instruction manual, and the right choice of programs is always more difficult. The manufacturers counter this by letting users know about the devices or their programs are supported with the aim of following the operating instructions if possible to do without.

Moderne Haushaltgeräte mit breitem Funktionsumfang und einer großen Palette von Anwendungsmöglichkeiten weisen im Bedienfeld ein Display auf, das programmgesteuert dem Nutzer Hinweise und Informationen zum Programm und zum Programmablauf im Klartext anzeigt. Der Nutzer soll durch die Anzeigen im Display informativ so geführt werden, dass die Programmierung des Haushaltgerätes optimal an den speziellen Anwendungsfall angepasst werden kann. Üblicherweise ist das Display aus einer Reihe oder aus mehreren untereinander angeordneten Reihen von Zeichen aufgebaut, wobei jedes Zeichen aus einer DOT-Matrix von 8x5 Pixel besteht. Pro Zeichen wird eine Ziffer oder ein Buchstabe angezeigt, Symbole über mehrere Zeichen.Modern household appliances with a wide range of functions and a large range of possible applications have a display in the control panel that is program-controlled the user notes and information about the program and displays the program sequence in plain text. The user should go through the ads in the Display can be carried out informatively so that the programming of the household appliance can be optimally adapted to the special application. Usually is the display from a row or from several arranged one below the other Rows of characters are built, each character from a DOT matrix of 8x5 pixels. One number or one letter is displayed for each character, Symbols over several characters.

Die Gestaltung der Anzeigen im Display ist auf die Erfordernisse und Ansprüche des in der Regel technisch nicht ausgebildeten Nutzers ausgerichtet. Die für den Nutzer notwendigen Informationen sind in einer dem technischen Laien entgegenkommenden Form auszugeben, d. h. es sind nur bekannte Begriffe zu verwenden, Abkürzungen nur in der allgemein üblichen Schreibweise (z. B. "Temp." für Temperatur) und Symbole nach Möglichkeit in einer sich selbst erklärenden Form darzustellen. Fehldeutungen und damit Fehlbedienungen sollen vermieden werden. Dazu ist der Nutzer so umfassend wie möglich, zumindest ausreichend aber auch noch überschaubar zu informieren. Dabei setzt die Größe des vorhandenen Displays relativ enge Grenzen.The design of the ads on the display is based on the requirements and claims of the user who is usually not technically trained. The one for the The information required by the user is in a manner that accommodates the technical layperson Output form, d. H. only known terms should be used, Abbreviations only in the commonly used spelling (e.g. "Temp." For temperature) and to represent symbols in a self-explanatory form if possible. Misinterpretations and thus incorrect operation should be avoided. To do this, the user is as comprehensive as possible, but at least sufficient to provide even more manageable information. The size of the existing display relatively narrow limits.

Eine sehr komfortable Lösung für eine Anzeige mittels Display ist in der DE 196 06 115 A1 enthalten. In die Bedienblende eines Backofens sind mehrere Displays integriert für eine Informationsausgabe im Klartext. Um die Anzeigen übersichtlicher darzustellen, ist jedem Display eine spezielle Funktion zugewiesen, etwa für die Programmanzeige, für die Anzeige der eingestellten Parameter sowie der Uhrzeit.A very convenient solution for a display using a display is the DE 196 06 115 A1 included. There are several in the control panel of an oven Displays integrated for information output in plain text. To make the ads clearer each display is assigned a special function, for the program display, for the display of the set parameters and the time.

Die vorhandenen Displays sind prinzipiell auch für Prüfprogramme und den Service nutzbar in der Weise, dass die Bezeichnung des zu prüfenden Bausteins bzw. Aktors und sein jeweiliger Betriebszustand zur Anzeige gebracht werden. Diese Darstellungsform erweist sich aber als nicht optimal; die Informationen erscheinen nacheinander; der Techniker erhält nicht den wünschenswerten Überblick über das Zusammenwirken der verschiedenen Aktoren.In principle, the existing displays are also for test programs and service can be used in such a way that the name of the module to be tested or Actuator and its respective operating state are displayed. This Form of representation turns out to be not optimal; the information appears successively; the technician does not get the desirable overview of the interaction of the different actuators.

Ziel der Erfindung ist es, insbesondere für Prüf- und Servicetechniker ein wesentlich verbessertes Informationsangebot zur Verfügung zu stellen bei einem vergleichsweise geringem ökonomischen Aufwand. Dies bedeutet, dass im Wesentlichen die für Gerätebedienung vorhandenen Einheiten genutzt werden. Es ist weiterhin Aufgabe der Erfindung, für weniger komfortable Displays eine befriedigende Lösung anzubieten. The aim of the invention is an essential, especially for testing and service technicians to provide improved information at a comparative low economic effort. This means that essentially the units available for device operation are used. It is still Object of the invention, a satisfactory for less comfortable displays Offer solution.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird durch die im Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen enthalten.The object of the invention is achieved by the features mentioned in claim 1 solved. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the subclaims contain.

Der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, dass der Informationsbedarf eines Prüf- oder Wartungstechnikers sich wesentlich von dem eines potentiellen Nutzers des Haushaltgerätes unterscheidet. Der Nutzer eines Haushaltgerätes wird zunächst über die Anzeigen im Display bei der richtigen Auswahl des Programms unterstützt und bei laufendem Programm über den Fortgang oder den gegenwärtigen Zustand des Programms informiert. Die Anzeigen erscheinen nacheinander. Ihr Inhalt muss für den Nutzer so ausführlich und genau sein, dass Fehldeutungen ausgeschlossen sind.The solution according to the invention is based on the idea that the need for information of a test or maintenance technician is significantly different from that of one distinguishes potential users of the household appliance. The user of a household appliance First, the correct selection is shown on the display supported by the program and while the program is in progress or informed of the current status of the program. The ads appear successively. Your content must be so detailed and accurate for the user that Misinterpretations are excluded.

Für den Techniker, der das Haushaltgerät überprüft, kommt es vielmehr darauf an, dass eine Vielzahl von Informationen zeitgleich angezeigt wird, um die Betriebszustände der verschiedenen Baugruppen im Zusammenhang bzw. in bezug auf ihre Abhängigkeit voneinander darzustellen. Dies geschieht dadurch, dass jede DOT-Matrix in zwei von einander unabhängige Bereiche unterteilt ist und diese getrennt von einander ansteuerbar sind, dass ein oberer Bereich (5x5 Pixel) für die Bezeichnung des Aktors vorgesehen ist und ein unterer Bereich (3x5 Pixel) für die möglichen Betriebszustände. Es ist vorteilhaft, den Aktor durch seinen Anfangsbuchstaben zu symbolisieren.For the technician who checks the household appliance, it matters more indicates that a large amount of information is displayed at the same time to determine the operating states of the various assemblies in context to depict their interdependency. This happens because each DOT matrix is divided into two independent areas and these that an upper area (5x5 pixels) for the name of the actuator is provided and a lower area (3x5 pixels) for the possible operating states. It is advantageous to use the first letter of the actuator to symbolize.

Die Symbole zur Kennzeichnung der Betriebszustände sind im Prinzip frei wählbar, sie sollten aber nicht abstrakt gestaltet werden, sondern dem Betrachter plausibel erscheinen. Sie sollten aussagekräftig sein und einprägsam, so dass nach relativ kurzer Zeit auf schriftliche Unterlagen wie Bedienungsanleitung oder Zeichentabelle verzichtet werden kann. Unter diesen Prämissen ist ein Feld von 5x5 Pixel zur Darstellung eines alphanumerischen Zeichens ausreichend und in einem 3x5 Pixel großen Feld kann ein genügend großer Vorrat von sicher unterscheidbaren Symbolen angezeigt werden.In principle, the symbols for identifying the operating states can be freely selected, however, they should not be designed abstractly, but rather for the viewer appear plausible. They should be meaningful and memorable so that after a relatively short time on written documents such as operating instructions or Character table can be omitted. Under these premises is a field of 5x5 pixels sufficient to represent an alphanumeric character and in a 3x5 pixel field, a sufficiently large stock of certainly distinguishable Symbols are displayed.

Da der Benutzer der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung Techniker in der Endfertigung des Herstellerbetriebes oder des Kundendienstes ist, müssen die Symbole in Bezug auf ihre Ausgestaltung keine großen Anforderungen erfüllen. Die dargestellten Zeichen müssen nicht üblichen Normen entsprechen oder sich selbst erklärenden Charakter haben.Since the user of the solution according to the invention technician in the final production of the manufacturer or customer service, the symbols must refer to do not meet major requirements for their design. The illustrated Signs do not have to conform to usual norms or are self-explanatory Have character.

Zu fordern ist lediglich, dass die Symbole eindeutig sind und eine ausreichende Unterscheidungskraft besitzen.The only requirement is that the symbols are clear and sufficient Possess distinctive character.

Die Erfindung soll nachstehend an einem Beispiel näher erläutert werden. Die zugehörigen Zeichnungen zeigen DOT-Anzeigeflächen in

Fig. 1
für einen Aktor "Heizung" (H) bei Einschalt- und bei Ausschaltzustand und
Fig. 2
für einen Aktor "Motor" (M) bei Links- und bei Rechtslauf.
The invention will be explained in more detail below using an example. The associated drawings show DOT display areas in
Fig. 1
for an actuator "heating" (H) when switched on and when switched off and
Fig. 2
for an actuator "Motor" (M) for left and right rotation.

In Fig. 1 und 2 sind verschiedene Beispiele für möglichen Zeichendarstellungen abgebildet. Jede DOT-Matrix ist ein Baustein eines nicht dargestellten Displays. Fig. 1 enthält die Darstellung von zwei Betriebszuständen für den Aktor "Heizung". Der Aktor selbst wird vorteilhafterweise mit dem Anfangsbuchstaben H gekennzeichnet, wozu das Feld von 5x5 Pixeln, wie an Hand der Abbildung zu sehen ist, völlig ausreicht. Die Symbole für die beiden möglichen Betriebszustände der Heizung sind frei wählbar. Die hier getroffene Auswahl soll, angelehnt an übliche Leuchtanzeigen, bei "Heizung EIN" eine größere Leuchtkraft haben als bei "Heizung AUS", wie im rechten Bild zu sehen ist. Die Wahl anderer Symbole ist möglich.1 and 2 are various examples of possible character representations displayed. Each DOT matrix is a component of a display, not shown. Fig. 1 contains the representation of two operating states for the actuator "heating". The actuator itself is advantageously marked with the initial letter H, for which the field of 5x5 pixels, as can be seen from the illustration, completely sufficient. The symbols for the two possible operating states of the heating are freely selectable. The selection made here is based on the usual ones Illuminated displays with "Heating ON" have a higher luminosity than with "Heating OFF ", as can be seen in the right picture. The choice of other symbols is possible.

Ein zweites Zeichen für den Aktor "Motor" (M) ist in Fig. 2 zu sehen. Der Anfangsbuchstabe M für "Motor" ist ebenfalls im oberen Bereich abgebildet, die Drehrichtungen "links" und "rechts" werden durch darunter angeordnete Zeichen symbolisiert. Diese Symbole müssen zwar nicht selbsterklärend sein. Im vorliegenden Falle sind aber entsprechend der Drehrichtung Pfeilspitzen symbolisiert bzw. durch die Betonung der entsprechenden Seiten erscheinen die Zeichen plausibel und damit einprägsam.A second character for the actuator "motor" (M) can be seen in FIG. 2. The first letter M for "motor" is also shown in the upper area, the directions of rotation "Left" and "Right" are symbolized by characters below them. These symbols do not have to be self-explanatory. In the present But traps are symbolized according to the direction of rotation or by emphasizing the corresponding pages, the characters appear plausible and thus memorable.

Der mögliche dritte Zustand "Motor AUS" kann ebenfalls dargestellt werden. Dazu sollte wegen der Einheitlichkeit und der besseren Einprägsamkeit dasselbe Symbol wie bei "Heizung AUS" verwendet werden. Die Zahl der zeitgleich darstellbaren Zeichen ist abhängig von der Größe des Displays und des Anspruchs an die Zahl der darstellenden Pixel zur Erzielung einer ausreichenden Lesbarkeit. Jedes Element ist mit der Anzeige für einen Aktor belegbar.The possible third state "engine OFF" can also be shown. To should be the same symbol for consistency and better memorability as with "heating OFF". The number of those that can be displayed at the same time Character depends on the size of the display and the demands on the Number of representing pixels to achieve sufficient readability. each Element can be assigned the display for an actuator.

Die Anzeigeflächen auf jeder DOT-Matrix sind ohne Abweichung von der Erfindung gegeneinander austauschbar, so dass die Anzeige für den Aktor unten und für dessen Zustand oben angeordnet ist. Abweichend davon kann auch die gesamte DOT-Matrix um 90° gedreht werden, so dass die Anzeigeflächen für den Aktor links oder rechts und die für dessen Zustand rechts oder links liegen.The display areas on each DOT matrix are without departing from the invention interchangeable, so that the display for the actuator below and for its state is arranged above. Deviating from this, the entire DOT matrix can be rotated by 90 ° so that the display areas for the Actuator left or right and the right or left for its state.
