Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, it is difficult to say that the conventional segment display device is an interface that is easy for the user to operate.
For example, in order to increase the amount of information displayed on the segment display device, it is necessary to increase the number of display digits, but it is not easy to increase the number of display digits due to the limitation of cost and space for arranging the segment display unit.
In addition, in the segment display device, it is necessary to provide operation buttons in order to switch the information to be displayed, but as mentioned above, because of the limitation of cost and space for arranging operation buttons, it is not possible to arrange a plurality of operation buttons.
Therefore, in the conventional segment display device, in order to switch and display a plurality of information with a limited number of display digits, complex operations such as pressing and holding an operation button or pressing multiple operation buttons at the same time are required, and there is a problem that it is easy to cause operation errors.
[0009] In addition, in the segment display device with a small number of display digits, in the case of switching and displaying multiple items, there is also a problem that it is difficult to understand the correlation between the operation of the operation button and the display result.

Embodiment approach

[0043] figure 1 It is a diagram showing a data server including a segment display device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0044]The data server 2 shown in this figure is, for example, a server for building automation, and it is connected to a plurality of control regulators 3-1 to 3-3 via a network 4, and the plurality of control regulators 3-1 to 3-3 control Devices, sensors, etc. that make up air-conditioning equipment, etc. Specifically, the data server 2 monitors devices, sensors, etc. connected to each of the control regulators 3-1 to 3-3 via, for example, the control regulators 3-1 to 3-3, and acquires and stores various information on monitoring objects.

[0045] also, figure 1 Although three control regulators 3 - 1 to 3 - 3 are shown in the figure, the number of control regulators connected to the data server 2 is not particularly limited.

[0046] The data server 2 has the above-mentioned segment device 1, and it can display various informati...

Embodiment approach 2

[0096] Figure 9 It is a diagram showing an example of the appearance of the segment display device according to the second embodiment.

[0097] The segment display device 5 shown in this figure is different from the segment display device 1 of Embodiment 1 in that it further has two operation input units, and is the same as the segment display device 1 in other points. In addition, in the segment display device 5 of the second embodiment, the same components as those of the segment display device 1 of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0098] Such as Figure 9 As shown, the segment display device 5 also has operation buttons 14 and 15 as operation input units. Like the operation buttons 12 and 13, the operation buttons 14 and 15 detect an input of a push operation from the outside (the user), and output an operation detection signal. The operation button 14 corresponds to, for example, the co...

Abstract

A segment display device includes first and second operation input units; a segment display unit; a storage unit for storage by mapping information which can be displayed in the segment display unit in a display information table including a plurality of cells specified by a plurality of rows and columns; and a display control unit which displays information read from the storage unit to segment display unit; every time an operation is input to the first operation input unit, said display control unit selects information in each cell of the display information table in order in the first direction along the column in the display information table and is displayed; every time that an operation is input to the second operation input unit, information in each cell of the display information table is selected in order in the second direction along the row of the display information table.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a section display device. Background technique [0002] In the past, in the control equipment for the monitoring and management of equipment in factories, buildings, etc., in consideration of cost and long-term stable supply of parts, instead of using liquid crystal display devices, a device that displays information in multiple segments is used. Section display device. For example, in a data server for building automation, etc., various information such as the operating status (starting, stopping, online, offline, etc. of the application program), error codes, and device addresses are displayed by the segment display device. [0003] With regard to the prior art of the segment display device, there is known a method of displaying the test operation status of the warm water heating device on the seven-segment display device (see Patent Document 1). Graphical method (refer to Patent Document 2) and the like. [0004] Prior ar...
