Remote-controlled operation system for electrical consumers
First Claim
1. A remote-controlled operation system for controlling a plurality of electrical consumer devices, the system comprising:
- an operating device with a transmitter for transmitting control signals including store command and retrieve command signals;
each said consumer device including a receiver for receiving said control signals and a control device including an evaluation unit for evaluating signals received by said receiver;
said consumer device further including a control unit for controlling the associated consumer device, each said evaluation unit including storage means for storing at least one state of an associated control unit and for driving said associated control unit;
each said storage means including a state register for storing a current state of the control unit and a state table;
said evaluation unit transferring the current state of the control unit used for controlling the control unit from said state register into said state table upon receipt of said store command signal;
said state table including a plurality of memory locations with corresponding memory location designations, and wherein a store command is transmitted from said state table with a scenario number corresponding to a memory location designation, the current state of said control unit being transferred into the corresponding memory location of said state table; and
each of said consumer devices transferring the corresponding memory location of said state table into said state register upon receipt of a retrieve command.

Abstract
An operation system for electrical consumers (19) has an operating device with a transmitter and control devices with receivers (16). The control devices have an evaluation unit (17) and a control unit (18) which is driven by the evaluation unit and controls the electrical consumers (19). The evaluation unit (17) distinguishes between control signals and scenario commands. When specific scenario commands are received, the state of the control unit (18) and hence the state of the electrical consumer (19) can be stored and re-established. A separate converter which evaluates the signals received from the transmitter and forwards them to the control devices can preferably also be used.
