The universal remote control module 2 can connect to the network 5 through the smart phone 1 and use WIFI, etc., and download a specific remote control code from the server 3 connected to the network 5, and then use the specific remote control code to the specific remote control device. 4 Remote operation. The remote control device 4 has a wireless signal transceiver 41 compatible with the wireless signal transceiver 21 for wireless signal exchange therebetween. The control processing device 22 is electrically connected to the wireless signal transceiver 21 to receive and process the specific remote control code from the smart phone 1, and controls the wireless signal transceiver 21 to send the wireless signal to the remote control device 4 according to the specific remote control code to complete the remote control operation. The action of device 4. The connection interface 23 is mounted on a separate housing 24 that is internally electrically coupled to the control processing device 22 for connection to the smartphone 1 for receiving a particular remote control code and for transmission to the control processing device 22. The connection interface 23 can use the most common interface conforming to the universal serial bus (USB) specification, or other interfaces with similar functions. Network 5 is generally the Internet, and Server 3 is a cloud server.

萬用遙控器模組2也包括與智慧型手機1分離的獨立外殼24,用以容置無線訊號收發器21、控制處理裝置22及連接介面23而形成一個可輕易與智慧型手機1安裝及分離的獨立模組。無線訊號收發器21可為一紅外線收發器,以與目前仍為遙控家電主流的規格相容,當然也可使用其他類似功能的無線通訊元件,例如射頻收發器或是藍芽模組等。若是為了可以相容於更多的遙控設備,也可同時安裝兩種以上的無線通訊元件,例如同時安裝紅外線收發器、射頻收發器或藍芽模組,也可以是其中的二個或再加上其他種類的無線通訊元件等,再由控制處理裝置22依所接收的遙控碼之種類,將連接介面23所收到的遙控碼傳送到適當的無線通訊元件。The universal remote control module 2 also includes a separate outer casing 24 separated from the smart phone 1 for accommodating the wireless signal transceiver 21, the control processing device 22 and the connection interface 23 to form an easy installation with the smart phone 1 and Separate independent modules. The wireless signal transceiver 21 can be an infrared transceiver, which is compatible with the current mainstream specifications of the remote control appliance. Of course, other similar functions of the wireless communication component, such as a radio frequency transceiver or a Bluetooth module, can also be used. In order to be compatible with more remote control devices, it is also possible to install more than two types of wireless communication components at the same time, such as installing an infrared transceiver, a radio frequency transceiver or a Bluetooth module at the same time, or two or more of them. The other types of wireless communication components and the like are transmitted to the appropriate wireless communication component by the control processing device 22 according to the type of the remote control code received.

伺服器3上建置了一個遙控碼資料庫31中,以儲存各種通用或特別制定的遙控通訊協定的編碼資料,包括符合遙控設備4所使用遙控協 定的一組遙控碼及作為此組遙控碼索引的代碼。智慧型手機1則安裝了遙控器應用程式11,以進行遙控資料設定及處理,並提供遙控操作介面。在使用智慧手機1操作遙控設備4之前,可先於伺服器3預先登錄識別碼及驗證碼,例如使用者帳號及密碼等,並將識別碼及驗證碼存於智慧型手機1。使用識別碼及驗證碼在伺服器3登入後,即可進一步依照遙控設備4的種類、廠牌、型號等選擇出代表遙控設備4所使用遙控協定的代碼,並設定其與識別碼及驗證碼的資料關聯後儲存於伺服器3。使用識別碼及驗證碼,以及代表遙控設備4所使用遙控協定的代碼的選擇,可在遙控器應用程式11進行,亦可透過其他資訊設備連接上伺服器3的網頁進行。若欲遙控一個以上的遙控設備,則可以在伺服器3上預先儲存設定了各遙控設備代碼的組態檔,再於欲操作某一設備時於遙控器應用程式11選擇該設備進行遙控操作。A remote control code database 31 is built in the server 3 to store various universal or specially developed remote control protocol encoded data, including the remote control protocol used by the remote control device 4. A set of remote control codes and codes that are indexed by this set of remote control codes. The smart phone 1 has a remote control application 11 installed for remote data setting and processing, and a remote operation interface. Before using the smart phone 1 to operate the remote control device 4, the identification code and the verification code, such as the user account and password, may be pre-registered with the server 3, and the identification code and the verification code may be stored in the smart phone 1. After the server 3 is logged in using the identification code and the verification code, the code representing the remote control protocol used by the remote control device 4 can be further selected according to the type, brand, model, etc. of the remote control device 4, and the identification code and the verification code are set. The data is stored and stored in the server 3. The use of the identification code and the verification code, and the selection of the code representing the remote control protocol used by the remote control device 4, may be performed in the remote control application 11 or may be connected to the web page of the server 3 via other information devices. If more than one remote control device is to be remotely controlled, the configuration file of each remote control device code may be pre-stored on the server 3, and then the remote control application 11 selects the device for remote operation when a certain device is to be operated.

請參閱第2圖,遙控器應用程式11與伺服器3係以主從式架構運作,因此二者在運作之初均先需各別啟始如視窗軟體插槽(Window Sockets)之類的通訊介面,之後伺服器3即進入偵聽狀態,等候遥控器應用程式11所提出的服務要求。欲進行遙控操作時,首先將萬用遙控器模組2連接至智慧型手機1並啟始遙控器應用程式11,然後將識別碼及驗證碼自智慧型手機1傳送至伺服器3核對,以便建立雙方的連線。連線建立之後,就可以使用預先設定的代碼於遙控碼資料庫31中擷取特定遙控碼並傳送至智慧型手機1。遥控碼傳送完畢後即可關閉雙方的通訊介面。接著便透過萬用遙控器模組2將擷取出來的特定遙控碼傳送至遙控設備4,以對其進行遙控。Referring to Figure 2, the remote control application 11 and the server 3 operate in a master-slave architecture, so both of them need to start communication such as Windows Sockets at the beginning of operation. After the interface, the server 3 enters the listening state and waits for the service request proposed by the remote controller application 11. To perform remote control operation, first connect the universal remote control module 2 to the smart phone 1 and start the remote control application 11, and then transmit the identification code and the verification code from the smart phone 1 to the server 3 for verification. Establish a connection between the two parties. After the connection is established, the specific remote control code can be retrieved from the remote control code database 31 and transmitted to the smart phone 1 using a preset code. After the remote control code is transmitted, the communication interface of both parties can be closed. Then, the specific remote control code taken out by the universal remote control module 2 is transmitted to the remote control device 4 to remotely control it.

遙控碼可以是針對遙控設備4的某一特定遙控動作的特定編碼,例如電源開啟或關閉、播放、前進、後退、音量或風量的大小控制、 操作模式的切換...等。自遙控碼資料庫31中擷取出遙控碼時,可以是只擷取某一特定操作的遙控碼,或是一次擷取相容於遙控設備4所使用遙控協定的整個按鍵組態封包傳至智慧型手機1,再利用遙控器應用程式11選取所欲執行操作所對應的遙控碼。在直接擷取特定操作遙控碼的做法中,自伺服器3傳送特定遙控碼至遙控器應用程式之步驟,是因應透過遙控器應用程式11對遙控設備4的一個操作動作而觸發(例如按下智慧型手機1螢幕上虛擬的”播放”鍵),且此一特定操作的遙控碼自伺服器3傳送至智慧型手機1之後,即立即透過萬用遙控器模組2傳送至遙控設備4,以驅動此一操作。當遥控碼是自雲端擷取後即直接傳送至遥控設備4時,並不需儲存遙控碼,所以萬用遙控器模組2即不需要設置記憶裝置,可節省成本。遙控碼若是用組態封包式的方式傳送,則可暫存於智慧型手機1,於遙控操作結束後再將之刪除。The remote control code may be a specific code for a specific remote control action of the remote control device 4, such as power on or off, play, forward, backward, volume or air volume control, Switching of operating modes...etc. When the remote control code is extracted from the remote control code database 31, it may be a remote control code that only captures a specific operation, or the entire key configuration package compatible with the remote control protocol used by the remote control device 4 is transmitted to the wisdom. The mobile phone 1 then uses the remote control application 11 to select the remote control code corresponding to the operation to be performed. In the method of directly capturing a specific operation remote control code, the step of transmitting a specific remote control code from the server 3 to the remote control application is triggered by an operation action of the remote control device 11 on the remote control device 4 (for example, pressing The virtual "play" button on the smart phone 1 screen, and the remote control code of the specific operation is transmitted from the server 3 to the smart phone 1, and immediately transmitted to the remote control device 4 through the universal remote control module 2, To drive this operation. When the remote control code is directly transmitted to the remote control device 4 after being captured from the cloud, the remote control code is not required to be stored, so the universal remote control module 2 does not need to be provided with a memory device, which can save costs. If the remote control code is transmitted in the configuration package mode, it can be temporarily stored in the smart phone 1 and deleted after the remote control operation is completed.

第3圖顯示了本發明的另一實施例。與前一實施例不同者,原來用來連接智慧型手機1的連接介面23,改由可連接至網路5的網際網路連接介面23’取代。連接網路5的方式如智慧型手機1一樣,可使用WIFI或其他適當的連網方式。當遙控器應用程式11對伺服器3發出遙控操作的要求時,自遙控碼資料庫31中遙控設備代碼的組態檔所擷取而出之遙控碼並不傳送回智慧型手機1,而是藉由網路5直接傳送到萬用遙控器模組2,由網際網路連接介面23’接收後,再傳送至遙控設備4。由於此一變更,萬用遙控器模組2不再必需於使用時與智慧型手機1連接,而可單獨另外放置。例如,可以用放在與使用者所處位置不同之房間,用遙控來開啟該房間的冷氣,即可在使用者進入該房間之前,預先降低房間的溫度。為了使遙控碼可以 因應遥控器應用程式11的要求而自伺服器3傳送遙控碼至萬用遙控器模組2,可將伺服器3與萬用遙控器模組2的連線資料儲存於伺服器3,並設定其與遙控器應用程式11所登錄的識別碼及驗證碼建立資料關聯。Figure 3 shows another embodiment of the invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the connection interface 23 originally used to connect to the smartphone 1 is replaced by an internet connection interface 23' connectable to the network 5. The way to connect to the network 5 is the same as that of the smart phone 1, and WIFI or other appropriate networking methods can be used. When the remote controller application 11 requests the remote operation of the server 3, the remote control code extracted from the configuration file of the remote control device code in the remote control code database 31 is not transmitted back to the smart phone 1, but It is directly transmitted to the universal remote control module 2 via the network 5, received by the internet connection interface 23', and then transmitted to the remote control device 4. Due to this change, the universal remote control module 2 is no longer necessary to be connected to the smart phone 1 during use, but can be separately placed separately. For example, the room can be opened in a room different from the user's location, and the air conditioner can be turned on by remote control to lower the temperature of the room before the user enters the room. In order to make the remote control code In response to the request of the remote controller application 11, the remote control code is transmitted from the server 3 to the universal remote control module 2, and the connection data of the server 3 and the universal remote control module 2 can be stored in the server 3, and set. It is associated with the identification code and verification code registered by the remote control application 11 .

綜上所述,本發明提供一成本低廉,安裝設定及使用簡便的萬用遙控器模組,讓使用者不需要再額外增購單價頗高的萬用遙控器模組,即可針對市面上絶大多數的遙控電子設備,利用智慧型手機進行遙控。此外,使用萬用遙控器模組時即時自伺服器下載所需的遙控碼,不僅使遙控設備的機型之設定範圍的擴充及修改維護極為容易,同時也節省了萬用遙控器模組本身記憶裝置的設置,以及手機記憶體被遙控碼佔用的麻煩。上列詳細說明係針對本發明之可行實施例之具體說明,惟該實施例並非用以限制本發明之專利範圍,凡未脫離本發明技藝精神所為之等效實施或變更,均應包含於本發明之專利範圍中。In summary, the present invention provides a universal remote control module with low cost, easy installation and easy to use, so that the user does not need to additionally purchase a high-priced universal remote control module, and can be targeted at the market. Most remote electronic devices use a smart phone for remote control. In addition, when using the universal remote control module, the remote control code required for downloading from the server is not only easy to expand and modify the setting range of the remote control device, but also saves the universal remote control module itself. The setting of the memory device and the trouble that the phone memory is occupied by the remote control code. The detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and the equivalents of the embodiments of the present invention should be included in the present invention.
