Transmitter for remote control with operation switches having changeably displayed forms
First Claim
1. A transmitter for remote control comprising:
- switching means for inputting an operation instruction, including a plurality of operation switches;
control means electrically connected to said switching means, said control means controlling generation of a remote control signal corresponding to an operation instruction which is inputted by said switching means;
remote control signal generation means electrically connected to said control means, said remote control signal generation means being controlled by said control means such that it generates the remote control signal corresponding to said operation instruction which is inputted by said switching means and externally outputs the generated signal; and
display means electrically connected to said control means, said display means displaying operation instruction images expressing the operation instructions in a form corresponding to the arrangement form of said plurality of operation switches of said switching means;
said control means including;
counting means for counting an input frequency of an individual operation instruction inputted into said switching means; and
changing means for changing display formation of said operation instruction images displayed on said display means and/or an arrangement formation of said plurality of operation switches in said switching means in accordance with said input frequency.

Abstract
In the transmitter for remote control, a frequency at which an individual key switch is operated is counted, and a display formation of operation contents corresponding to the individual key switches is changed in accordance with the frequency. The changed operation contents are displayed by a display panel. The display formation includes the size, density, color, and sequence of operation menu displayed in the display panel. By using a transparent touch panel type display panel, an arrangement formation of the individual key switches can also be changed in accordance with the frequency at which they are used. The arrangement formation of the individual key switches includes the size and sequence of the individual key switches. In this way, an operator can easily find the operation menu on the display panel and easily operate key switches corresponding to frequently used key switches.
