The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 is the block diagram that the structure of the air-conditioning system with remote controller according to an embodiment of the invention is shown.Fig. 2 is the block diagram that the structure of remote controller as shown in Figure 1 is shown.Fig. 3 is the schematic plan view of remote controller as shown in Figure 2.
With reference to figure 1, air-conditioning system 100 comprises air-conditioning 140 and remote controller 110.Air-conditioning 140 comprises indoor unit 130 that is arranged in the interior space and the outdoor unit 120 that is arranged in the exterior space.Indoor unit 130 and outdoor unit 120 can be connected to each other communicatedly via network 161.Though air-conditioning 140 comprises an outdoor unit 120 and an indoor unit 130, the structure of air-conditioning is not limited thereto.Air-conditioning 140 can comprise an outdoor unit and a plurality of indoor unit, perhaps comprises a plurality of outdoor units and a plurality of indoor unit.
With reference to figure 2 and 3, remote controller 110 is connected to the operation of the indoor unit 130 of air-conditioning 140 with the control air-conditioning, and remote controller 110 comprises control module 111, load button unit 150, display unit 170, Database Unit 113 and background illumination unit 180.
User's operation information is imported into load button unit 150, and load button unit 150 comprises a plurality of input buttons and function button.The user is input into the operation setting of air-conditioning 140 by using the input button.For example, the user can by the first input button 151 and the second input button 152 reduces or raising is provided with temperature, and can air vent mode be set by the 3rd input button 153.In addition, the user can change air capacity 153 by the 4th input button 154.In addition, the user can start or finish the operation of air-conditioning 140 by the 3rd function button 157.Function button is directly executable operations setting not, but is used to carry out the setting of remote controller 110, perhaps with the setting of input button executable operations.For example, the user can be provided with pattern by first function button, 155 access functions, and can by second function button 156 be input into corresponding to last/down/input signal on a left side/right side.
Therefore, at the time durations except time range is set, promptly owing to check the time durations of the content of display unit 170 easily such as the external light source of sunshine, even the user is input into input signal, display unit 170 is not lighted in background illumination unit 180, the brightness of background illumination unit 180 does not change yet, and therefore prevents that background illumination unit 180 is switched at any time, thereby has reduced the power consumption of remote controller 110.
Time is provided with a plurality of input buttons or the function button that unit 150 is above-mentioned load button unit 150, can make up the time of setting of importing by a plurality of input buttons and function button or its, and can differently dispose combination according to user's convenience.
Particularly, even the brightness of background illumination unit 180 in general scope in the daytime, promptly low during in the daytime, therefore also be not difficult visually to check because of the external light source content of display unit 170 can save electric power by the brightness that reduces background illumination unit 180.On the other hand, may be difficult to visually check the content of display unit 170 in the scope by external light source at night.In this case, when be provided with the user be provided with in the time range, promptly when be input into input signal in the scope night, the brightness of background illumination unit 180 improves, and therefore display unit 170 is brightened, thereby makes easier content of visually checking display unit 170.
In another example, different with the environment of the above-mentioned ordinary circumstance that remote controller is installed, exist because strong external light source and being difficult in scope is in the daytime visually checked the certain situation of the content of display unit 170.In this case, need in scope in the daytime, improve the brightness of background illumination unit 180, and compare the brightness that need reduce the background illumination unit in the scope in this brightness in the scope in the daytime at night with background illumination unit 180.Therefore, in this case, if be provided with in the time range, promptly imported input signal at night in the scope what the user was provided with, then the brightness of background illumination unit 180 reduces, thereby makes easier content of visually checking display unit 170.
In addition, if time point based on the time that is provided with that unit 150 input was set by the time and corresponding to the scope at night, then the input signal of importing in this is provided with time range can be the input signal that is used for improving automatically the brightness of background illumination unit 180.Promptly, input signal can be the input signal that directly is input into by the user, if but time range being set corresponding to the scope at night, then can regulating the brightness of background illumination unit automatically such as time point based on unit 150 input time being set were set by the time.Particularly, the user can be provided with unit 150 and the current time is stored in the memory cell (not shown) of remote controller 110 by controlling the time, and control module 111 is divided into the very first time scope and second time range based on the time that is provided with that unit 150 inputs were set by the time with one day time range.At this, very first time scope can be set to scope in the daytime, and second time range can be set to the scope at night.The user can be provided with scope and night scope in the daytime.For example, (6:00PM～6:00AM) be set to the scope at night then is set to scope in the daytime At All Other Times automatically time of 6 if will be from the 6 pm to the morning.
At this, if time point is based on the time that is provided with that unit 150 input was set by the time and corresponding to very first time scope, i.e. scope in the daytime, then control module 111 is reduced to first predetermined value with the brightness of background illumination unit 180 automatically.This is because owing to easily check the content of display unit 170 such as the external light source of sunshine or indoor light at range content in the daytime.
In addition, if time point based on the time that is provided with that unit 150 input was set by the time and corresponding to second time range, be the scope at night, then in the content that does not have to be difficult to check display unit 170 under the situation of external light source, so control module 111 is brought up to second predetermined value with the brightness of background illumination unit 180 automatically.
Time is provided with a plurality of input buttons or the function button that unit 150 is above-mentioned load button unit 150, can make up the time of setting of importing by a plurality of input buttons and function button or its, and can differently dispose combination according to user's convenience.
Fig. 4 is the schematic plan view of remote controller according to another embodiment of the invention.The unshowned parts of Fig. 4 are identical with parts among Fig. 3, therefore represent these parts with identical Reference numeral.
The user is input into the method for input signal can be different, and the present invention has proposed a kind of touch-screen method in one embodiment.Therefore, luminous regulon can comprise the display unit 370 that is touched by the user.The operation of luminous regulon, be that the operation of user's touch sensitive display unit 370 can produce input signal, if the operation of user's touch sensitive display unit 370 has produced input signal in time range is set, then control module 100 improves or reduces the brightness of background illumination unit 180 gradually.
With reference to figure 4, remote controller 310 comprises touch-screen display type display unit 370.At this, the front window of display unit 370 comprises touch-screen, so the operation of the front window of user's touch sensitive display unit 370 generation input signal, and control module 111 produces control command by this input signal.That is, though remote controller comprises the input button of the physical arrangement that has as shown in Figure 3, the input button of remote controller as shown in Figure 4 can have touch screen structure.In addition, except being input into the input signal, can be input into input signal by the operation of the input button on user's touch sensitive display unit 370 by the operation of pressing physics input button.
The user sends incident by the object on the touch sensitive display unit 370.At this, each object is imported button corresponding to each, and they comprise " cooling " object 351, " heating " object 352, " drying " object 353 and " fan " object 354 that is used for select operating mode.Can change the screen of display unit 370, so the quantity of the input button of remote controller 310 is unrestricted.
As mentioned above, though the operation of each object on user's touch sensitive display unit 370 can produce the cooling that is used for select operating mode, heat, dry and the control signal of fan, if but the operation of each object of user's touch sensitive display unit 370 has produced input signal in time range is set, then control module 111 can little by little improve or reduce the brightness of background illumination unit 180.
Fig. 5 is illustrated in as shown in Figure 4 the display unit figure that the brightness of background lighting unit changed along with the time under once the situation that is touched.Fig. 6 illustrates the figure that the brightness according to the background illumination unit of touch number of times on display unit as shown in Figure 4 changes.
As mentioned above, control module 111 is divided into the very first time scope and second time range based on the time that is provided with that unit 150 input was set by the time with one day time range.At this, very first time scope can be set to scope in the daytime, and second time range can be set to the scope at night.
With reference to figure 5, the brightness of background illumination unit is basic brightness when supposing touch sensitive display unit one time, is set to night during scope when time range is set, and the basic brightness in the night scope is second predetermined value.In scope in the daytime, because environment light source and the content of visually checking display unit 370 easily, brightness that therefore can the background illumination unit is set to the first less predetermined value.If the effect of environment light source is big, then closes the background illumination unit and be set to 0 with first predetermined value.
In addition, under the situation of lighting background illumination unit 180, if the number of times of the operation of luminous regulon, promptly the touch number of times of display unit 370 is increased, then control module 111 can improve or reduce the brightness of background illumination unit 180 gradually.With reference to figure 6, when the front window by user's touch sensitive display unit 370 produced input signal, the brightness of background illumination unit 180 improved according to the control command of control module 111, therefore display unit 370 was brightened.Thereafter, if user's front window of touch sensitive display unit 370 again, then the brightness of background illumination unit 180 further improves, thereby display unit 370 is brightened.That is, along with the increase to the touch number of times of the front window of display unit 370, the brightness of background illumination unit 180 improves gradually.
If the number of operations of luminous regulon, promptly to the touch number of times of the front window of display unit 370 during greater than predetermined quantity, control module 111 no longer improves or reduces the brightness of background illumination unit 180.As shown in Figure 6, this predetermined quantity can be set to 3.If greater than 3, and therefore the brightness of background illumination unit 180 becomes greater than predetermined value to the touch number of times of the front window of display unit 370, then this makes the easier content of checking display unit 370 of user.Therefore, needn't improve the brightness of background illumination unit 180 again, and unlike the needed electric power that consumes remote controller 310 more.
In addition, under background illumination unit 180 quilt situations about lighting, if the time of operating light-emitting regulon, be the time remaining of touch sensitive display unit 370, then the number of operations of luminous regulon, the increase that promptly is touched during the state continuance to the touch number of times of display unit 370 also increase, and make control assembly 111 can improve or reduce the brightness of background illumination unit 180 gradually.If then control module 111 no longer improved or reduced the brightness of background illumination unit 180 greater than predetermined amount of time the time of touch sensitive display unit 370.At this, the time that the touch of display unit 370 is continued is corresponding to above-mentioned touch number of times to display unit 370, and along with the brightness of the time background lighting unit of touch sensitive display unit 370 changes identical with as shown in Figure 6, so omit its explanation.
In addition, the user can be different with the method for input signal input, and except above-mentioned touch-screen method, luminous regulon can also comprise the load button unit 150 that will be pressed by the user, can input signal be imported by load button unit 150.
That is to say that as shown in Figure 3, the remote controller that is used for air-conditioning according to the present invention also comprises load button unit 150, it is controlled so that produce input signal by the user.If the user presses load button unit 150 to produce input signal in time range is set, then control module 111 can improve or reduce the brightness of background illumination unit 180 gradually.At this, as shown in Figure 3, load button unit 150 is a plurality of input buttons or function button.Therefore, the user can be input into input signal by the operation of pressing a plurality of input buttons or function button, and can regulate the brightness of background illumination unit 180 by input signal.
As above-mentioned touch-screen method, by under the situation about lighting, if the compression number of load button unit 150 is increased, then control module 111 can improve or reduce the brightness of background illumination unit 180 gradually in background illumination unit 180.
Particularly, if the user presses load button unit 150 to produce input signal, then the brightness of background illumination unit 180 improves according to the control command of control module 111, therefore display unit 170 is brightened.Thereafter, if the user presses load button unit 150 again, then the brightness of background illumination unit 180 further improves, thereby display unit 170 is brightened.That is, along with the increase to the compression number of display unit 170, the brightness of background illumination unit 180 can improve gradually.Yet, if to the number of times of pushing of display unit 170 greater than predetermined quantity, control module 111 no longer improves or reduces the brightness of background illumination unit 180.If therefore the compression number of display unit 170 is become the value of setting level greater than the brightness of predetermined quantity and background illumination unit 180, then this makes the easier content of checking display unit 170 of user, the therefore brightness that needn't improve background illumination unit 180.Correspondingly, prevent the needed more electric power of remote controller consumption rate.
On the other hand, be input into the input signal user in the time range and be not input into input signal in the given time if be provided with from the user, then control module 111 reduces the brightness of background illumination unit 180, so that it remains on first predetermined value.After the user controls remote controller 110,, can judge that then the user no longer controls remote controller 110 if do not control in the given time.In this case, preferably reduce the brightness of background illumination unit 180, so that reduce the power consumption of remote controller 110.At this, the user can be set to 5 seconds, 10 seconds etc. according to this scheduled time of convenience.
Fig. 7 is the block diagram that the structure of air-conditioning system according to another embodiment of the invention is shown.
With reference to figure 7, air-conditioning system 200 comprises air-conditioning 240 and remote controller 215.In the air-conditioning 240 each comprises outdoor unit 220 and a plurality of indoor unit 230.Yet, the invention is not restricted to this, and can select the various structures of each air-conditioning 240, each air-conditioning 240 can comprise a plurality of indoor units 230 and a plurality of outdoor unit 220.
Each remote controller 215 is by controlling the operation of air-conditioning 240 with the wired or radio communication of outdoor unit 220, so that control is arranged in the operation of the indoor unit 230 in the interior space.That is, remote controller of the present invention can be connected to indoor unit 230 as shown in Figure 1, and can comprise the external input device that is connected to outdoor unit 220 by communication line as shown in Figure 7.
Concrete difference is, remote controller 110 as shown in Figure 1 is subjected to being connected to communicatedly the control such as the external input device (not shown) of central controller of outdoor unit 120.Therefore, the control input signal of remote controller 110 generations has the low priority of control input signal that produces than by the external input device such as central processing unit.If the control input signal that the control input signal that remote controller 110 produces or not with central controller is identical or they differ from one another, then the control input signal that produces of remote controller 110 does not produce effect.In addition, central controller can be controlled the configuration information of remote controller 110, and can limit the some or all of operating function of remote controller 110.
Yet, the central controller that remote controller 215 as shown in Figure 7 itself can comprise as external input device.Therefore, remote controller 215 is controlled air-conditioning 240 independently, and can produce input signal to controlling of remote controller 215.Subsequently, can control by each connection (on)/disconnection (off) operation and the mode of operation thereof to indoor unit 230 from air-conditioning 240 outsides, and can be used for also correspondingly exporting object information by being connected to outdoor unit 220 inputs, so that check the temperature of each pipeline in the outdoor unit 220 and the state of unit at the control input signal of controlling and monitoring in service of air-conditioning.
In addition, with reference to figure 2, Database Unit 113 memory scheduling data, and provide this data dispatching to control module 111.Data dispatching comprises that corresponding to first data dispatching of very first time scope with corresponding to second data dispatching of second time range very first time scope and second time range are to divide from one day time range.At this, very first time scope can be set to scope in the daytime, and second time range can be set to the scope at night.In this case, first data dispatching is that second data dispatching is the data dispatching at night corresponding to the scope at night corresponding to the data dispatching in the daytime of scope in the daytime.
In addition, control module 111 is regulated the brightness of background illumination unit 180 based on data dispatching.Therefore, control module 111 by according to data dispatching in the daytime with night data dispatching to scope in the daytime with the range applications at night different scheduling regulate the brightness of background illumination unit 180.
Particularly, if the user has imported input signal at night in the scope, perhaps time point is corresponding to the scope at night, and then control module 111 is regulated the brightness of background illumination unit 180 automatically.If promptly based on data dispatching in time range is set, promptly imported input signal in the scope at night, perhaps time point is corresponding to the scope at night, then control module 111 is regulated the brightness of background illumination unit 180 automatically.
At this, the input signal of importing in the scope at night can be the input signal by user's input.If the user has imported input signal at night in the scope, then control module improves or reduces the brightness of background illumination unit 180 gradually.Usually, if time point corresponding to the scope at night, then environment is darker because there not being the external environment condition light source.Therefore, the brightness that preferably improves background illumination unit 180 gradually.
At this, only regulate the brightness of background illumination unit 180 at the input signal that is provided with in the time range, promptly in second time range, imports that is provided with by the user.If be provided with outside the time range, promptly be input into input signal in very first time scope at this, then control module 111 does not change the brightness of background illumination unit 180.Therefore, time durations time range being set except this, promptly owing to check the time durations of the content of display unit 170 easily such as the external light source of sunshine, even display unit 170 is not lighted in background illumination unit 180, when the user is input into input signal, the brightness of background illumination unit 180 does not change yet, thereby prevents that background illumination unit 180 is switched at any time, has correspondingly reduced the power consumption of remote controller 110.
In addition, if time point based on the time that is provided with that unit 150 input was set by the time corresponding to the scope at night, then the input signal of in second time range, promptly importing in the scope at night can be the input signal that is used for improving automatically the brightness of background illumination unit 180.Promptly, though input signal is the directly input signal of input of user, but for example time point be provided with time range based on the time that is provided with that unit 150 inputs is set by the time of describing after a while corresponding to the scope at night, control module 111 can be regulated the brightness of background illumination unit automatically.Therefore, if time point corresponding to the scope at night, is then regulated the brightness of background illumination unit automatically.
In addition, the very first time scope and second time range change based on corresponding month piece of data.As mentioned above, very first time scope can be set to scope in the daytime, and second time range can be set to the scope at night.
By specifically describing this point season.Because the scope in the daytime in summer during scope with the scope in the daytime in winter and night is greater than the scope in the daytime in winter when the scope in the daytime in summer relatively and scope at night, therefore owing to the light source user such as external ambient light etc. can check that the time range of content of display unit 170 is longer than winter.
For example, in the July in summer, can be with (5:00AM～7:00PM) is set to scope in the daytime, other times (7:00PM～5:00AM) can be set to the scope at night automatically from 5 of mornings to 7 time of afternoon.December in the winter time, can be with (7:00AM～5:00PM) is set to scope in the daytime, (5:00PM～7:00AM) can be set to the scope at night automatically At All Other Times from 7 of mornings to 5 time of afternoon.That is, can based on as corresponding month scope in the daytime and night scope the moon data of data, according to changing scope and night scope in the daytime in the moon or season.If changed scope and night scope in the daytime, then corresponding to the data dispatching in the daytime of scope in the daytime and corresponding to night scope the data dispatching at night also change and it be stored in the Database Unit 113, control module 111 can based on the data dispatching in the daytime after changing and night data dispatching regulate the brightness of background illumination unit 180.
