HOME AUTOMATION EQUIPMENT COMPRISING A UNIFIED MAN/MACHINE INTERFACE

摘要

The invention relates to home automation equipment comprising a unified man/machine interface. The invention consists of a central control unit (1) comprising user interface management circuits (3) which, under the control of unified user interface circuits (10), are used to: (i) select one means from among a plurality of emulation means (7, 8), corresponding respectively to one of a plurality of circuits for controlling heterogeneous players; and (ii) retransmit, to the central control unit, commands from a unified set of commands available at the unified user interface circuits (10), such that they are converted into a set of user commands specific to the selected player (29, 39).
