Each electronic device is usually All will be equipped with an infrared remote control, and an infrared receiver is also installed inside the electronic device. The user can trigger the control button on the infrared remote control ¥ panel to make it emit a specific carrier frequency modulation code and command. The electronic device It is based on the carrier frequency to demodulate codes and instructions, and then execute related functions according to the command content. However, for different brands of infrared remote controls, the industry does not have a certain industry standard to regulate the signal form and carrier frequency of infrared remote control signals. Therefore, for the same form of electronic devices, such as televisions, produced by different brands, infrared electronic remote controls Devices cannot be shared, so there are manufacturers on the market who collect the control codes of hundreds of manufacturers ’remote controllers and burn them into the remote controllers. When the user uses the remote controller for the first time, they need to make the brand and model of the electronic device to be remotely controlled. Enter it into the remote control first. If the electronic device to be remote controlled is a new product or the user loses the model number, the remote control mentioned above is useless. Another solution is to use a learning-type remote control. A new remote control that can receive and store the original remote control, but because of the complicated use of the learning remote control and the space for storing data

For example, when the remote control first electronic device is selected and the first identification code is selected at the same time, when Select the remote control second electronic device and select the second identification code at the same time. Preferably, the command server of the present invention is connected to the Internet, which can selectively connect to a website, download and store a plurality of commands corresponding to the first recognition ¥ code, and download and store the corresponding A plurality of instructions on the second identification code. Real k method: Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a structural diagram of a remote remote electronic device according to the present invention, which includes a first electronic device 10, a second electronic device 12, a command controller 14, and a network. Road 16, a command server 18, and a display 20 ° The above electronic device can be a multimedia player, such as a TV, a DVD recorder or a combination speaker, and usually a multimedia electronic device is equipped with an infrared remote control Each electronic device has its specific identification code, so the instructions transmitted by the infrared remote control must match the identification code of the electronic device in order to be able to control the electronic device and perform specific functions. For the convenience of explanation, the identification code of the first electronic device 10 is defined as the first identification code, and the remote controller equipped with it is the first infrared remote controller.

200534617 V. Description of the invention (5) 1 1; The identification code of the second electronic device 12 is the second identification code. The electronic device and the command controller 14 are connected to each other. The connection method may be a wired connection or a wireless network connection. If it is a wireless network connection, the command controller 14 may be a wireless connection. Take device. In addition, the command controller 14 is connected to the command server 18 through the network 16 and the display 20 is also connected to the network 16. The command server 18 may be a personal computer. Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a flowchart of a method for remotely controlling a remote electronic device under the framework of FIG. 1 according to the present invention. The steps include: firstly storing a plurality of instructions in the instruction server (2 1), and then using the instruction controller to transmit the first instruction to the instruction server, and the instruction server may store a plurality of preset instructions in advance. The preset instructions include the first instruction and correspond to the plurality of instructions in step (2 1) (2 2). At this time, the instruction server transmits a second instruction corresponding to the first instruction to the instruction controller (2 3) Finally, the command controller performs remote control on the first electronic device with a second command (2 4). The command server 18 of the present invention is connected to the Internet 16 and can be selectively connected to a website to download and store a plurality of commands corresponding to the first identification code. Therefore, when the command controller 1 4 When the first command is transmitted to the command server 18, the command server 18 will also have a second command corresponding to the first command. At this time, the user at the remote end can issue the first command through the command server 18 The two instructions perform remote control on the first electronic device 10. In addition, when the instruction controller 14 of the present invention is connected to the first electronic device 10, it can obtain the first identification code from the first electronic device 10 and automatically (or

200534617 V. Description of the invention (6) The first identification code is transmitted to the command server 18 manually. In addition, since the commands stored in the command server 18 in step 21 are limited, they are usually limited to a few simple control functions, such as command functions such as switching, executing playback, volume output adjustment, channel selection, etc. To improve the control function of the command server 18, it is necessary to have a command learning function, and the present invention further provides a command server with a learning function. Please refer to FIG. 3, after the instruction server 18 of the present invention enters the learning mode, it can use a second infrared remote controller 19 to perform instruction learning on the instruction server 18, wherein the second infrared remote controller 19 The f-th electronic device 10 can be remotely controlled. The instruction learning method includes: firstly turning on the learning mode of the instruction server to learn the setting of the first identification code (3 1), and then using a second infrared remote controller to transmit a third A command is given to the command server, wherein the third command is a command (32) for giving a first function to the first electronic device, and finally the first function and a third command corresponding to the first identification code are stored in the command server. (3 3). It can be known from the above description that the command server of the present invention has a command learning function and can learn and store more control commands, so that the remote function of the command server can be more complete. In addition, the command server 18 of the present invention can also control the second electronic device 12 in a remote manner. The control method is the same as the aforementioned method of controlling the first electronic device 10, and therefore will not be described again. But it is particularly worth mentioning that when the command server 18 is connected to the first electronic device 10 and the second electronic device 12 respectively, the command server 18 may select the first
