RADIO REMOTE CONTROL WITH POSITION SENSOR SYSTEM
First Claim
1. Radio remote control system of a machine that comprises at least one machine drive for a moveable machine part, which machine drive can be controlled by the radio remote control system, comprisinga radio receiver assigned to the machine,a hand-held unit comprising a control unit, a transmitter and at least one motion sensor,wherein the control unit is configured to communicate control commands issued by a user to the transmitter, and to cause the transmitter to transmit the control commands to the receiver, andwherein movements of the hand-held unit in space about at least one tilt axis or pitch axis (KA, DA) can be detected by the motion sensor in such a way that in a motion control mode, the detected movements can be converted by the control unit into control commands, which can be communicated to the machine by radio transmission between transmitter and receiver,wherein the motion control mode can be activated by a user input at the hand-held unit,characterised in that the control unit is also configured such that on activating the motion control mode, the current attitude (I) of the hand-held unit in space is detected as the current reference attitude (I), so that movements can be detected by the motion sensor relative to this current reference attitude (I), and can be communicated by the control unit as control commands to the machine.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a radio remote control system of a machine that comprises at least one machine drive for a moveable machine part, which machine drive can be controlled by the radio remote control system, comprising a hand-held unit (10) comprising a control unit, a transmitter and at least one motion sensor, wherein the control unit is configured to communicate control commands issued by a user to a transmitter, and to cause the transmitter to transmit the control commands to the machine, in particular to an associated receiver, and wherein movements of the hand-held unit (10) in space about at least one tilt axis or pitch axis (KA, DA) can be detected by the motion sensor in such a way that in a motion control mode, the detected movements can be converted by the control unit into control commands, which can be communicated to the machine, wherein the motion control mode can be activated by a user input at the hand-held unit (10). It is proposed according to the invention that the control unit is also configured such that on activating the motion control mode, the current attitude (I) of the hand-held unit (10) in space is detected as the current reference attitude (I), so that movements relative to this current reference attitude (I) can be detected by the motion sensor, and can be communicated by the control unit as control commands to the machine. The invention also relates to an operating method for a radio remote control system according to the invention.

15. Operating method for a radio remote control system of a machine having at least one machine drive for a moveable machine part, which machine drive can be controlled by the radio remote control system, comprising the steps:
- transmission of control commands issued by a user on a hand-held unit (10) of the radio remote control system from a transmitter of the hand-held unit to the machine, in particular to an associated receiver, and
detection of movements of the hand-held unit (10) in space about at least one tilt axis or pitch axis (KA, DA), the detected movements being converted in a motion control mode into control commands, which are communicated to the machine, wherein the motion control mode is activated by a user input (20) at the hand-held unit (1), characterised in that on activating the motion control mode (20), the current attitude of the hand-held unit in space is detected (22) as the current reference attitude, so that movements can be detected (24) relative to this current reference attitude, and can be communicated (30) as control commands to the machine. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
