It should be noted that fig. 1 is a perspective structure, and the all-directional infrared remote control device may have a corresponding housing, 8 infrared transmitting tubes are disposed at the periphery of the inside of the housing of the all-directional infrared device, and the battery 110 is disposed in the inside of the housing.
In this embodiment, 8 infrared emission tubes with be radially dispersed between the circular centre of a circle and arrange, this kind of mode of arranging is favorable to every infrared emission tube to correspond certain angle scope separately. However, in other embodiments, the infrared transmitting tube may be inclined at a certain angle, even vertically placed with the device, that is, the present invention is not limited to the arrangement of the infrared transmitting tube in the fully-directional infrared remote control device, and the transmitting position of the infrared transmitting tube is not limited to surrounding the device. In other embodiments, the number of infrared emission tubes is not limited to 8, and may be another number greater than 2, for example, greater than 3, such as 3, 4, 6, 10, or 12.

In this embodiment, the sensor 120 is selected to be a gyroscope. As mentioned above, the sensor 120 is used to detect the moving orientation of the all-direction infrared remote control device, and therefore, in other embodiments, the sensor 120 is not limited to a gyroscope, but may be other sensors with the function of detecting orientation change.
In this embodiment, the wireless communication module in the processing circuit is a bluetooth module M2, please refer to the corresponding content in the following fig. 2.
In this embodiment, the position indicator lamp 130 is one, which has been mentioned above, and is located on the side of the infrared-emitting tube 101.

In other embodiments, the orientation in the sensor 120 may be referenced to the orientation indicated by the orientation indicator light 130.
In other embodiments, the fully-directional infrared remote control device may also be powered by a cable, or both a cable and a battery. However, the fully-directional infrared remote control device in this embodiment can achieve low power consumption, and therefore, the battery may not be a large-capacitance battery.
In the modular schematic diagram shown in fig. 2, it is shown that the present embodiment specifically employs a bluetooth module M2 as the aforementioned wireless communication module, and employs a gyroscope as the sensor 120. At this time, fig. 2 shows that the full-directional infrared remote control device includes an infrared emission module M1, a bluetooth module M2, a sensor module M3, and an orientation indication module M4.
As shown in fig. 2, in the processing circuit (i.e. in the system) of the fully-directional infrared remote control device, the control core is a bluetooth module M2, and the bluetooth module M2 is used to read parameters of the sensor (gyroscope), receive instruction information from a user (using a user with a mobile terminal with a specific application in the following method embodiments), control the infrared transmitting tube to transmit, record the orientation of the home appliance (the remote controlled device), and store user setting information. The sensor module M3 is used for detecting the orientation information of the low-power consumption all-direction infrared remote control device moved by the user when the user moves the all-direction infrared remote control device, and reporting the orientation information to the Bluetooth module M2. Therefore, as shown in fig. 2, the sensor module M3 and the bluetooth module M2 are connected by means of mutual information and instructions.
As shown in fig. 2, the bluetooth module M2 and the azimuth indicating module M4 are connected in such a way that the bluetooth module M2 unidirectionally sends information and commands to the azimuth indicating module M4. Because, in this embodiment, the orientation indicating module M4 can be used to indicate the orientation information (referring to the orientation data of the fully-pointed infrared remote control device) of the household appliance and also to indicate the power of the battery 110 through cooperation with the subsequent application (please refer to the contents of the subsequent method).
As shown in fig. 2, the bluetooth module M2 is connected to the infrared emission module M1 in such a way that the bluetooth module M2 sends information and commands to the infrared emission module M1 in a single direction. The infrared transmitting module M1 is used for sending corresponding control signals to the remote controlled device, thereby realizing the remote control operation of the remote controlled device.
In other embodiments, other connection modes may be adopted between the modules.
In the fully-directional infrared remote control device provided by this embodiment, because the sensor 120 capable of detecting the moving direction of the fully-directional infrared remote control device is added, it is possible to control a specific remote-controlled device by only turning on the corresponding infrared transmitting tube and turn off the infrared transmitting tubes in other directions by using the corresponding method, thereby achieving low power consumption.
The invention further provides a full-directional infrared remote control method.
Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 4 in combination, fig. 3 is a schematic view of an actual scene when the method is used, and fig. 4 is a schematic view of a corresponding flow of the method.
The method is implemented by using the fully-oriented infrared remote control device provided by the foregoing embodiment and other apparatuses (mobile terminals with applications), so that the fully-oriented infrared remote control device can refer to the corresponding contents of the foregoing embodiment.
The method comprises a first step to a third step.
Firstly, placing fully-directional infrared remote control equipment indoors, wherein the indoor equipment is provided with remote control equipment; the fully-directional infrared remote control equipment is in a sleep state when not in operation.
In the first step, the user places the all-directional infrared remote control device in a hall or a bedroom in advance, namely, the room can be a hall or a bedroom and other places. In a specific process, the fully-directional infrared remote control device shown in fig. 1 may be placed indoors, and the corresponding remote controlled device is usually a household appliance, as shown in fig. 3. Fig. 3 illustrates three remote controlled devices, an air conditioner 200, a television 310 and a set-top box 320, as an example. The full-direction infrared remote control device is positioned on the right side of the air conditioner 200, the front side of the television 310 and the left front side of the set-top box 320.
In step one, in order to make the power consumption of the fully-oriented infrared remote control device as low as possible when the fully-oriented infrared remote control device is operated, the fully-oriented infrared remote control device is in a sleep state for most of the time, and can be in a deep sleep state.
And secondly, enabling the fully-directional infrared remote control equipment to store azimuth information, wherein the azimuth information comprises azimuth data of the remote control equipment relative to the fully-directional infrared remote control equipment.
In step two, it can be realized by means of Application (APP) on mobile terminal (handset). For example, the fully-directional infrared remote control device is connected through a built-in application of a mobile phone, and then the fully-directional infrared control device is made to memorize the position of the household appliance by using the application according to the specific position of the specific household appliance, that is, the fully-directional infrared remote control device is made to 'remember' the specific direction of the household appliance. Two implementation manners are specifically provided subsequently in this embodiment.
Step three, when a remote control device is remotely controlled, the all-directional infrared remote control device is awakened by a control instruction, and an infrared transmitting tube corresponding to the remote control device is opened according to the stored azimuth information so as to transmit a remote control signal to the specific remote control device; after the remote control signal is transmitted, the all-direction infrared remote control equipment enters the sleep state again.
In the third step, the control instruction is usually sent by the application on the mobile terminal, when the user uses the APP to control a specific household appliance, the all-directional infrared control device opens the infrared transmitting tube in the corresponding direction to send a corresponding remote control signal according to the specifically controlled household appliance and the direction information of the household appliance, and the infrared transmitting tubes in other directions are in a closed state. The following detailed contents of this embodiment are further described.
In the third step, the number of the infrared transmitting tubes corresponding to one remote control device is one or two. That is, when the home location is at the direct projection position of an infrared transmitting tube, the infrared transmitting tube is adopted to transmit the remote control command; when the household appliance is not positioned at the direct projection position of any infrared transmitting tube, the remote control instruction can be transmitted through the two infrared transmitting tubes positioned at the included angle of the household appliance. In this case, the present embodiment requires only two infrared emission tubes at most, and only one infrared emission tube is used in most cases, and therefore, low power consumption can be achieved.
It should be noted that, in addition to the above-mentioned steps one to three, after the fully-pointed infrared remote control device is moved, the fully-pointed infrared remote control device is awakened by the sensor, and after awakening, the fully-pointed infrared remote control device updates the orientation information stored in the fully-pointed infrared remote control device according to the moved angle and position. That is, after the first step and the second step are completed, the fully-pointed infrared remote control device does not need to be reset as long as the position of the home appliance (remote controlled device) is not changed. When the home appliance position is not moved and the all-direction infrared remote control device is moved, the user does not need to reset the direction, and the all-direction infrared remote control device can recalculate and adjust the angle of the related infrared transmitting tube by using the change of the parameters of the built-in sensor so as to enable the all-direction infrared remote control device to be matched with the position of the home appliance again.
However, when the remote control device is moved, the fully-pointing infrared remote control device is enabled to store the orientation information of the moved remote control device again. Namely, when the position of the household appliance is moved, the user needs to reset the position, otherwise, the corresponding household appliance cannot be correctly remotely controlled by the fully-directional infrared remote control equipment.
In this embodiment, step two may be implemented in two ways, that is: and enabling the fully-directional infrared remote control equipment to store the azimuth information.
The first mode comprises the following steps: the application of the mobile terminal is wirelessly connected with a processing circuit of the all-direction infrared remote control equipment; the method comprises the steps that by means of connection, infrared transmitting tubes in the all-direction infrared remote control equipment are opened one by one, and direction detection signals are sent one by one through the infrared transmitting tubes; obtaining the direction information of each remote-controlled device by applying the remote-controlled device reached according to each direction detection signal; and the application sends the obtained orientation information to the full-direction infrared remote control device for storage.
In the first mode, the process of sending the obtained direction information to the full-direction infrared remote control device for storage by the application may be replaced by the following process: when the application obtains the azimuth information, the all-direction infrared remote control equipment also obtains and stores the azimuth information at the same time.
The second way includes: the application of the mobile terminal is wirelessly connected with a processing circuit of the all-direction infrared remote control equipment; setting orientation information of each remote controlled device in an application through observation; and the application sends the obtained direction information to the all-direction infrared remote control equipment for storage.
Fig. 4 shows a specific example of the first embodiment combining the first to third steps. The corresponding process can be described with reference to the specific scenario in fig. 3.
In step S1, the wake-up signal is interrupted.
It should be noted that step S1 occurs after the first step and the second step, and in the first step, it is mentioned that the full-direction infrared remote control device is in a sleep state when it is not operated. Therefore, the all-direction infrared remote control device in the sleep state is awakened at the moment.
In step S2, it is determined whether the bluetooth module M2 has received a control command.
This is done because, as can be seen from the foregoing, there are two possible reasons for interrupting the generation of the wake-up signal: firstly, the application of the mobile terminal sends out a corresponding control instruction; secondly, when the full-pointing infrared remote control device is moved, the sensor (gyroscope) can wake up the Bluetooth module M2 by an interrupt wake-up mode. Therefore, this step requires a decision as to which of two possible causes. Namely, when a user sends a control instruction through the Bluetooth of the mobile phone end or the all-direction infrared remote control equipment is moved, the all-direction infrared remote control equipment is awakened and corresponding action is executed.
If the determination result in the step S2 is that the reason for generating the interrupt wakeup signal is "yes", the control command is received, and then the process goes to a step S3; on the other hand, if the cause "no (no)" of the interrupt wakeup signal is received, the process proceeds to step S6.
And step S3, the azimuth information of the specific household appliance.
This step is in fact to analyze which specific household appliance (remote controlled device) the "control command" is to be turned on, so that the fully pointing infrared remote control device correctly invokes the corresponding orientation information.
And step S4, opening the infrared emission tube with the corresponding direction.
This step follows step S3, and after the fully-directional infrared remote control device correctly calls the corresponding direction information, this step can correctly turn on the infrared transmitting tube in the corresponding direction.
In step S5, the remote control device system goes to sleep.
This step is a part of the above steps three, namely: after the remote control signal is transmitted, the all-direction infrared remote control equipment enters a sleep state again, and the sleep state can be deep sleep.
In the process from step S1 to step S5, this is a process for realizing remote control operation of the remote controlled device. In connection with the usage scenario illustrated in fig. 4, the following corresponds to: after the user connects the fully-directional infrared remote control device and the action of setting the relative position of the fully-directional infrared remote control device and the household appliances at home through the specific application of the mobile phone is completed, when the user wants to turn on the air conditioner 200, a control instruction sent by the application is sent to the fully-directional infrared remote control device through the mobile phone Bluetooth (the Bluetooth module M2 receives), at the moment, the fully-directional infrared remote control device only sends a corresponding control signal through the infrared transmitting tube 107, and other infrared transmitting tubes are closed; when a user wants to turn on the television 310, only the infrared transmitting tube 101 can send out a corresponding control instruction, and other infrared transmitting tubes are in a closed state; when the user wants to open the set-top box 320, only the infrared transmitting tube 102 will send out a corresponding control instruction, and the other infrared transmitting tubes are in a closed state.
The specific example shown in fig. 3 corresponds to other processes, please continue to refer to steps S6 to S8.
As described above, when the cause "not (no)" of the interrupt wakeup signal is received, the process proceeds to step S6.
In step S6, it is determined whether the sensor detects movement of the remote control device.
The remote control device herein refers to a fully-directional infrared remote control device. The reason why step S6 is performed is that: it may also be that other factors cause the fully-pointed infrared remote control device to be accidentally awakened. Therefore, screening with this procedure is required.
When it is determined that "no (no)" detects the movement of the remote control device (or when no movement of the remote control device is detected), the process proceeds to step S5 from step S6 directly, i.e., the remote control device system goes to sleep.
When the determination is "yes" and the remote control device is detected to move, the process proceeds to step S7 and step S8.
Step S7, calculating a moving direction and acquiring a new direction; and step S8, updating the orientation information of the infrared transmitting tube and the household appliance.
In order to proceed to steps S7 and S8, the sensor 120 will generate an interrupt wake-up signal to "wake up" the bluetooth module M2 when the fully-directional infrared remote control device has a large vibration or displacement, so that the bluetooth module M2 records the displacement of the sensor, calculates the moving angle of the fully-directional infrared remote control device, and then updates the positions (orientation information) of the home appliances corresponding to the infrared emission tubes in the fully-directional infrared remote control device according to the calculated moving angle.
Step S1, step S2, step S6, step S7 and step S8 are combined, namely, the above: and when the fully-directional infrared remote control equipment is moved, the fully-directional infrared remote control equipment is awakened by the sensor, and the fully-directional infrared remote control equipment updates the azimuth information stored in the fully-directional infrared remote control equipment according to the moved angle and position after awakening.
A more specific case in the above process may be: when the fully-directional infrared remote control equipment is moved by 90 degrees, the user does not need to reset the relative position between the fully-directional infrared remote control equipment and the household appliance, and the fully-directional infrared remote control equipment can automatically recalculate and match the angle relation between each infrared transmitting tube and the household appliance according to the moved angle.
After step S8, the process proceeds to step S5 so that the full-direction infrared remote control device can save more power consumption.
In the fully-directional infrared remote control method provided by this embodiment, a new fully-directional infrared remote control device is used, and the fully-directional infrared remote control device has a plurality of infrared transmitting tubes and a sensor capable of detecting the moving direction of the fully-directional infrared remote control device, and stores the direction information of the remote controlled device relative to the fully-directional infrared remote control device in the fully-directional infrared remote control device, so that the infrared-directional control can be accurately performed on the remote controlled device, that is, when the fully-directional infrared remote control device sends a remote control signal to the remote controlled device, only the infrared transmitting tube corresponding to the remote controlled device is turned on, and the other infrared transmitting tubes are kept turned off. When not operating, the full-direction infrared remote control device is in a sleep state. Therefore, the method can realize infrared remote control with low power consumption.
Although the present invention is disclosed above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes and modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
