Intelligent controller and have the consuming device and a control method of intelligent controller

Affiliated technical field

The intelligent sleep awakening, sleep that the present invention relates to a kind of intelligent controller of consuming device and have the consuming device and a control method, particularly household electrical appliance of intelligent controller automatically shutdown and intelligent timing start-up intelligent controller and have the consuming device and the control method of intelligent controller.

Background technology

At present, the sleep generally used of household electrical appliance automatically the method for shutdown the no synchronizing signal shutdown etc. automatically of timing shutdown, the televisor of televisor and electric fan is arranged.The shutdown task that the method for above-mentioned timing shutdown is carried out is: the schedule time is to just shutdown.The course of work of control device be after setting regular time finish fixing shutdown action, through regular meeting run counter to the user both the time the use wish and the situation of error cut-off machine.Such as, after the user has set timing shutdown to televisor, seen excellent program again, want to continue to watch and forgotten the operation of in time cancelling timing shutdown that timing one arrives, televisor will shut down automatically, the user is felt surprised, sometimes the user has to start shooting once more, brings inconvenience to use, has reduced the serviceable life of consuming device; And televisor do not have synchronizing signal automatically the performed shutdown task of method of shutdown be: shut down automatically during no TV programme signal.The shutdown action of control device is after no TV signal, finishes under the condition that the user does not also initiatively shut down at the appointed time.In today that cable television program is popularized comprehensively, a lot of television channels all are the uninterrupted broadcasts of twenty four hours, so the no synchronizing signal timing automatic shutdown function of televisor will seldom have an opportunity to play a role.China-patent of invention " automatic and interactive power controller of audio/video systems " (patent No.: 91100345.2) confirm shutdown though disclosed power-supply controller of electric has been realized human-computer interaction, but control device duration of work user must (be) regularly to video and audio equipment (telepilot or the keyboard) operation of being correlated with at least, otherwise control device is with timing shutdown, and telepilot can not be always the user at one's side in the daily life, when control device sends the shutdown prompting, sometimes user's telepilot of just having to lose no time to seek, so that send the signal instruction that does not shut down, this is to have increased extra operation burden to the user certainly, and the timing of disclosed most preferred embodiment is 30 minutes, this clocks today of charge or consider in the future and aspect energy-conservation in Digital Television, obviously is not to shut down the most timely.If have a mind to shorten timing (as 5 minutes), the necessity of making use of momentum asks the user more regularly video and audio equipment to be operated (must operate once in per 5 minutes), just can reach and listen to the purpose of watching continuously, and this has increased more trouble to the user beyond doubt; Existing household electrical appliance generally only have so-called sleep timing shutdown function, and often the user to enter sleep state when using consuming device be not my wish, as the people who sees TV is in waiting for the highlight process or football fan's uncomfortable appropriate to the occasion sleep etc. in waiting for the process that important ball match is relayed, the user more wished and can in time be waken up this moment, and existing sleep timing shutdown device is not possess this function; Existing part family expenses electrical appliance has the timing start-up function, its function is to connect the power supply of consuming device when the user arrives in the predefined moment automatically, make its start operate as normal, use for the user, this function has been brought convenience to the user beyond doubt, and under unexpected situation, the user has set timing start-up, and the user fails constantly in time to show up at predetermined Auto Power On and enjoys, and also just can not in time change setting, the timing start-up of prevention consuming device, when timing start-up arrives constantly, the power supply of consuming device will be switched on and start working, and this will cause and waste waste, also can cause certain mental burden to the user simultaneously.Same reason, because the user can not guarantee the synchronization of every day and be in, so dare not be the time set of similar needs such as the TV that just must see, must listen as being in or sound equipment program the time of timing start-up every day, the use of timing start-up function be restricted.Some people, particularly some children and student, the custom that bed reading before sleeping is arranged, often have in the reading process and independently do not fall asleep, illuminating lamp situation kept burning day and night takes place, this will cause wasting of electric energy, the control device and the control method that effectively solve this type of problem yet there are no report, in sum, think, there are following deficiency in the method and the device of existing household electrical appliance automatic on/off: the one, need regularly consuming device to be implemented control operation with remote control transmitter or keyboard, and also wake complex operation with the proof user; The 2nd, do not have the sleep awakening function, function singleness; The 3rd, set timing start-up after, the user can not avoid wasting waste at timing start-ups that is absent from the scene; The 4th, the variable of sleep automatic on/off institute foundation is not the most direct user's a Real-life Activity situation, but reflect the physical quantity of user's situation indirectly, as TV signal have or it's too late whether the user has carried out operation etc. to televisor, make switching on and shutting down control loaded down with trivial details, untimely, inaccurate, unreliable, usable range has bigger limitation.
