Abstract

A demonstration system of an electronic equipment. The electronic equipment includes first and second operation units which are arranged on a front panel of the electronic equipment. In the first operation unit, there are provided display device, various operation keys, demonstration key, light receiving part, and opening/closing key. In the second operation unit, there are provided an operation key and a display device. The demonstration key is an input key for giving a command to start a demonstration of the electronic equipment. A display demonstration, in which the display devices are used, and a movable section demonstration, in which the first and the second operation unit are operated, are continuously conducted.

Claims

1. A demonstration system of an electronic equipment, comprising:

a movable operation unit being disposed on a front panel of the electronic equipment, the operation unit having an operation face,

wherein the operation unit comprises;

a plurality of input operation parts for inputting a command of operation of the electronic equipment;

a demonstration operation part for giving a command of starting demonstration; and

a display part for displaying information pertaining to the electronic equipment,

wherein the electronic equipment comprises;

a movement control part for controlling a movement of the operation unit;

a display controller for controlling a display demonstration of the display part; and

a drive controller for controlling a movable section demonstration.

2. A demonstration system of an electronic equipment according to claim 1, wherein the display demonstration and the movable section demonstration are continuously conducted under a predetermined condition.

3. A demonstration system of an electronic equipment according to claim 2, wherein the predetermined condition is the number of times of continuous execution of the display demonstration and/or the number of times of continuous execution of the movable section demonstration.

4. A demonstration system of an electronic equipment according to claim 1, wherein the operation unit comprises a plurality of operation units which are arranged on the front panel and being superposed to each other back and forth, the plurality of operation units are movable individually.

5. A demonstration system of an electronic equipment according to claim 1, wherein the display controller is provided with a rewritable control program.

6. A demonstration system of an electronic equipment according to claim 1, wherein the drive controller is provided with a rewritable control program.

7. A demonstration system of an electronic equipment according to claim 5, wherein the number of times of the display demonstration in the control program can be set by the input operation parts.

8. A demonstration system of an electronic equipment according to claim 6, wherein the number of times of the movable section demonstration in the control program can be set by the input operation parts.

9. A demonstration system of an electronic equipment according to claim 1, wherein the demonstration operation part is structured by operation keys disposed on the operation unit.

10. A demonstration system of an electronic equipment according to claim 4, further comprising a receiving part for receiving a remote control signal disposed in a predetermined portion of the operation unit arranged on the front face of the plurality of operation units.

11. A demonstration method for an electronic equipment, on a front panel of which a movable operation unit is disposed, the method comprising:

inputting a command to operate the electronic equipment;

starting a demonstration by giving a command to start demonstration;

displaying a state of operation of the electronic equipment;

controlling a display demonstration of the operation unit; and

controlling a movable section demonstration of the operation unit.

12. A demonstration method for an electronic equipment according to claim 11, further comprising:

controlling the display demonstration and the movable section demonstration whereby the display demonstration and the movable section demonstration are continuously conducted.
