Operation controlling apparatus
View Patent ↗An operation controlling apparatus executing operation controlling for plural equipment connected therewith, including: an equipment management portion configured to manage a control command for each of plural numbers of control commands, for each of the plural numbers of equipments; a projector portion configured to project an image of each control item, for each of the plural numbers of equipments; a distance detector portion configured to detect distance from said projector portion to a projection surface, on which the projector portion project the image; and a controller portion configured to control the projector portion so as to change the control item to be projected by the projector portion, depending on the distance detected by the distance detector portion, and to bring the equipment of control target to execute the control command, which is managed by the equipment management portion, when execution of the control item projected is determined.
1. An operation controlling apparatus, for executing operation controlling for plural numbers of equipments, which are connected therewith, comprising:
an equipment management portion, which is configured to manage a control command for each of plural numbers of control commands, for each of the plural numbers of equipments;
a projector portion, which is configured to project an image of each control item, for each of said plural numbers of equipments;
a distance detector portion, which is configured to detect distance from said projector portion to a projection surface, on which said projector portion project the image; and
a controller portion, which is configured to control the projector portion so as to change the control item to be projected by the projector portion, depending on the distance detected by said distance detector portion, and to bring an equipment of control target to execute the control command, which is managed by said equipment management portion, when execution of the control item projected is determined.
2. The operation controlling apparatus, as described in the claim 1 , wherein the execution of the control item projected is determined when the distance detected by said distance detector portion changes repetitively.
3. The operation controlling apparatus, as described in the claim 1 , further comprising
a motion detector portion, which is configured to detect movement of the projection surface, on which said projector portion projects the image, wherein
said controller portion changes the equipment as the control target, when said motion detector portion detects a predetermined movement.
4. The operation controlling apparatus, as described in the claim 3 , wherein execution of the control item projected is determined when said motion detector portion detects the predetermined movement.
5. The operation controlling apparatus, as described in the claim 1 , wherein a reference value of the distance detected by said distance detector portion is determined within a range where the projection surface moves, on which said projector portion projects the image.
6. The operation controlling apparatus, as described in the claim 1 , wherein sizes of the image projected by said projector portion are adjusted depending on the distance, which is detected by said distance detector portion.
7. The operation controlling apparatus, as described in the claim 3 , further comprising
a time detector portion, which is configured to detect a time-period during when the projection surface, on which the projector portion projects the image, does not move, wherein
execution of the control item projected is determined when a predetermined time-period is elapsed in the time detector portion.
8. The operation controlling apparatus, as described in the claim 1 , further comprising
a receiving portion, which is configured to receive notices from the plural numbers of equipments to be connected, wherein
projection by said projector portion is started when the notice is received within the receiving portion.
