Technical Field

The present invention relates to an operation input device that receives an operation for setting a direction of an operation target, and a remote controller and a remote control system provided with the operation input device.

Background

In general, the wind direction of the air conditioner is often set using a remote controller. For example, patent document 1 describes an input device that sets the direction of an air outlet of an air conditioner. The input device includes a knob, and the direction of an air outlet of the air conditioner changes according to the rotation of the knob.

Disclosure of Invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

However, an operator visually having an obstacle cannot visually confirm the direction of the air outlet of the air conditioner, and it is difficult to recognize the correspondence between the rotational position of the knob and the direction of the air outlet of the air conditioner. Therefore, the input device described in patent document 1 has a problem that it is difficult for an operator who is visually impaired to grasp which direction the air outlet of the air conditioner is set.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an operation input device that enables a visually impaired operator to easily recognize the direction of an operation target, a remote controller including the operation input device, and a remote control system.

Means for solving the problems

An operation input device of the present invention includes an operation unit, a detection unit, a determination unit, and a setting unit. The operation unit includes an operation panel for receiving an operation by an operator, and a support portion for supporting the operation panel so as to be capable of performing a tilting operation. The detection unit detects an operation of tilting the operation panel. The determination section determines a tilt position of the operation panel of which the tilt is detected by the detection section. The setting unit sets the orientation of the operation object included in the target device to an orientation corresponding to the tilt position of the operation panel determined by the determination unit.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION

According to the present invention, the operation panel is supported by the support portion so as to be capable of being tilted, and the direction of the operation target provided in the target device is set to a direction corresponding to the tilted position of the operation panel, so that the visually impaired operator can easily recognize the direction of the operation target.
