Abstract

PURPOSE:To enjoy a broadcast simply without need of a complicated operation by displaying a display element to other of 2 controllers when one speaker is selected by a selection means. CONSTITUTION:An operation section of each remote controller is operated in a gas supply hot water system 1 and a hot water plug (not shown) is opened, then hot water at a set temperature is supplied. On the other hand, a radio reception section of each remote controller is operated independently of the operating state of a hot water supply device main body 2, and when a selector switch 16 is operated at each remote controller, a radio broadcast is reproduced from a speaker 13 provided to the remote controller to be operated and no sound of radio broadcast is reproduced from a speaker of a remote controller not operated conversely but a light emitting diode 27 is lighted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application for 8 Professionals] The present invention relates to a remote control device for remotely controlling equipment, and particularly to a device equipped with a speaker for reproducing audio.

[Prior Art] Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-29307 proposes a method for enjoying broadcasting etc. by installing speakers on a plurality of operating devices of a remote control device c1.

In this idea, in a remote control device for a water heater, the controller inside the bathroom is equipped with an amplifier and a speaker, and the controller outside the bathroom is equipped with a tuner in addition to the amplifier and speaker, so that broadcasts can be broadcast simultaneously from both speakers. You can enjoy it.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, it is rare for a bather to enjoy the same broadcast etc. in the bathroom and outside the bathroom, such as in the kitchen, at the same time. People other than the bathers may not want to listen to the broadcast, and in that case, they have to adjust the metering using a control device installed outside the bathroom, which is very cumbersome. There is a problem.

The present invention is a remote control device that allows you to enjoy broadcasts, etc. from a speaker (C) that is controlled by the controller. The purpose is to be able to

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a remote controller that includes two operating devices provided for instructing the operation of a device, and each of the two operating devices is provided with a speaker for reproducing audio. In the operating device, each of the two operating devices is provided with a display element, and
a selection means for selecting the speaker; when one of the speakers is selected by the selection means;
1i on the other of the two controllers along with the other speaker.
The technical means is to perform display using a display element that is Ql-).

[For 11-] In the present invention, the sound is reproduced by only one of the speakers selected by the selection means.

At this time, no display is performed on the display element provided on the same controller as the speaker that reproduces the sound, and a display is performed on the display element provided on the same controller as the speaker that does not reproduce the sound.

Therefore, the controller that is not reproducing the sound can know that the other controller is reproducing the sound.

[Effects of the Invention] In the present invention, since the sound can be reproduced using only one of the operating devices, there is no need to perform operations for volume adjustment or MP cutoff, for example, on the operating device that is not to be reproduced.

In addition, since the controller on the side that is not reproducing audio can know that the other controller is reproducing the audio, it is possible to accidentally interfere with the controller on the side that is reproducing the audio. You can prevent unnecessary operations.

[Example] Next, the present invention will be explained based on examples.

In the gas water heating system 1 shown in FIG. 1, the water heater main body 2 is controlled by a control device 3, and a main remote control 10 is installed in the bathroom as an operating device for setting the operating state of the water heater. It is equipped with a bath remote control 20.

Each remote controller has a control device 11 that controls the water heater main body 2.
I! Operation unit 1021.2 for giving four control signals to 3.
0a is provided to instruct and set the operating state of the water heater main body 2.

In addition, each remote control in this embodiment has these operation parts IQ.
In addition to the radio receiving sections 10b and 20a, the radio receiving sections 10b and 20b are operated by a circuit configuration independent from each operation section.

In the main remote control 10, the radio receiving section 10b includes a tuner 11. low frequency amplifier 12, speaker 13,
In the bath remote control 20, a selection circuit 14 and an output switching logic 15 are provided with a low frequency amplifier 22 and a speaker 23, respectively, and each radio receiving section 10b, 20b is provided with a selection circuit 14 and an output switching logic 15.
includes a selection switch 16.26 for selecting the output of the tuner 11, and a light emitting diode 17.27 for notifying the remote controller of the side not selected.
is provided.

The tuner 11 is a part that receives and detects general medium wave broadcasts, FM broadcasts, or radio wave broadcasts and extracts low frequency signals.The tuner 11 is a part that receives and detects general medium wave broadcasts, FM broadcasts, or radio wave broadcasts and extracts low frequency signals. You can choose freely.

When a remote controller is selected according to the switching from the output switching logic 15, the selection circuit 14 selects a low frequency amplifier 1 provided in any of the selected remote controllers.
1 output signal is transmitted.

The output switching logic 15 is a selection switch 1 of each remote controller.
6. In response to the signal 26, a switching signal is sent to the selection circuit 14, and a current is caused to flow through the light emitting diodes of the unselected remote controllers to perform lighting display.

The low frequency amplifier 12.22 amplifies the low frequency signal from the tuner 11 and drives the speaker 13.23 to reproduce the sound of the received broadcast.

Note that a volume (not shown) is provided in the low frequency amplifier 12.22 to adjust the volume. (When the hot water tap (not shown) is opened as 1-, hot water is supplied at the set temperature.

On the other hand, the radio reception section of each remote control operates regardless of the operating state of the water heater main body 2, and when the selection switch is operated on any remote control, the selection switch is activated as shown in Table 1. 11- The radio broadcast is reproduced from the speaker equipped on the remote control on the side where the selection switch is operated, and conversely, the sound of the radio broadcast is not reproduced on the remote control on the side where the selection switch is not operated, but the light emitting diode display is displayed. .

Table 1 Accordingly, when you want to enjoy radio broadcasts with one remote control, there is no need to turn down the volume or cut off the signal circuit from the tuner on the other remote control, so there is no need to bother and broadcast to the station. You can enjoy it.

In the above embodiment, the receiving device is provided on one side of the operating device, but the receiving device may be provided outside the operating device so that only the received signal is taken into the operating device.

In the above embodiments, a remote control equipped with a tuner for receiving radio broadcasts is shown, but a tuner that can receive the audio or screen of television broadcasts may also be used. Furthermore, instead of the audio signal from a tuner that receives wireless broadcasting, an audio signal from a wired broadcasting, CI) L, or video tuner may be input to the selection circuit.
