Description of the Related Art In recent years, as display devices such as television receivers have become more sophisticated, their operations are becoming more and more complicated. Therefore, a user interface that displays a list of executable functions on a screen as a menu and moves and selects a cursor displayed on the screen from the menu has been devised and put into practical use. (For example, Hitachi Color TV Catalog ('97-
9) The cursor is generally moved using a cursor movement key provided on a remote controller. The direction in which the cursor displayed on the screen moves up, down, left and right,
The up, down, left, and right arrangement of the cursor movement keys on the remote control device is associated with each other, and if you press the cursor movement key up, the selection item moves up on the screen, and if you press down, it moves down, and so on. Easy to understand.

れることが多いが、以下のような問題が発生する。[0003] However, the television receiver is not always operated upright by the user, and may be operated in a state of lying down sideways when the user is tired. In this case, the remote controller is often operated in a state of lying down according to the user, but the following problems occur.

時の画面表示もそれに従う。The horizontal direction on the screen is the X axis, and the vertical direction is Y
The axis, the axis connecting the screen and the remote controller is the Z axis, and the up, down, left, and right directions of the cursor movement keys are ABCD. In normal operation, A is the plus direction of Y. B is Y minus direction, C
Is the X minus direction, D is the X plus direction, and the screen display at the time of key operation follows the direction.

を誤る要因となる。However, when the remote controller is rotated clockwise by 90 degrees about the Z axis, for example, when the user is sleeping, the position of C becomes higher and the position of D becomes lower. Conversely, when rotated counterclockwise by 90 degrees, D becomes upper and C becomes lower. In this way, the left and right keys are originally located in the up and down direction, and the user is confused by the correspondence between the up and down and left and right directions of the cursor operation keys for himself and the up and down and left and right directions on the screen, and operates with a natural feeling. This makes it difficult to perform operations.

An object of the present invention is to provide a remote control device that is easy to understand.

示す。FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a positional relationship between a remote control device and a display device. FIG. 2 shows the mounting angles of two tilt switches provided in the remote controller, which is a feature of the present invention. The tilt switches are mounted at an angle of 45 degrees downward, and when the remote control device is kept horizontal, each tilt switch faces downward and is in the OFF state. The tilt switch detects an upward direction and a downward direction, and switches to ON when the tilt switch is horizontal. FIG. 3 shows the tilt of the Z axis of the remote control device and the ON / OFF state of the tilt switch.

W1 is turned on. From this state until the SW2 is turned on, it is determined that the vehicle is tilted to the right. Similarly, when tilted 45 degrees or more to the left, SW2 is turned on. From this state until the SW2 is turned on, it is determined that the vehicle is tilted to the right. When both SW1 and SW2 are ON, it is determined that the remote control device is facing downward.

した時には通常の信号を送信する。If it is determined that the cursor is tilted right or left, and the cursor movement key is operated, the signals are switched and transmitted as follows. The up, down, left, and right directions of the cursor movement keys are ABCD. Further, the normally transmitted signals are respectively UNLR. When it is determined that the remote control device is tilted to the right, since the cursor movement keys are positionally C up and D down, the signals to be transmitted are C for U, D for N, A for L, B Switches to R. When it is determined that the camera is tilted to the left, D is U, C is N, A is L, and B is R. When it is determined that the camera is facing downward, a normal signal is transmitted.

It can correspond to the top, bottom, left and right directions on the screen, making it easier to understand visually,
Can be operated with a natural feeling.
