Detailed Description
In order to better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present application may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the application to those skilled in the art.
In order to better understand the technical solution, the technical solution will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and the specific embodiments.
Example one
Fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an upgrading method of a remote control device according to an embodiment of the present application.
The remote control equipment is used for remotely controlling the household appliance and mainly comprises an integrated circuit electric board, a communication module and an infrared module. The remote control equipment is also a wireless transmitting device, and codes the received information controlled by the user through a digital coding technology, and transmits light waves through an infrared diode so as to realize the control of the household appliance. For example, the remote control device may be a mobile terminal, an intelligent remote controller, and the like.
As shown in fig. 1, the upgrade method of the remote control device is performed by the remote control device, and may include the following steps:
step 101, establishing communication connection with the household appliance by using a first communication module.
In the embodiment of the application, the remote control device can control the household appliance through Bluetooth, WiFi or infrared. For example, the first communication module may be a bluetooth module.
In the embodiment of the application, after the remote control device is powered on, the first communication module can be used for establishing communication connection with the household appliance device so as to complete a network distribution of the remote control device and the household appliance device.
As an example, the remote control device may establish a network list to establish a wireless network according to an adopted wireless communication protocol, perform access detection on the home appliance sending the join request when the remote control device finds that the home appliance applies for joining the wireless network, allocate a network address and a network identifier to the home appliance if the access detection is successful, and add the newly joined home appliance to the network list, thereby establishing a communication connection with the home appliance.
102, receiving a notification message sent by the household appliance through communication connection; the notification message is used for indicating that the upgrade information to be acquired by the remote control equipment exists in the server.
As a possible situation, after the remote control device establishes a communication connection with the home appliance device by using the first communication module, the remote control device may receive a notification message sent by the home appliance device through the communication connection with the home appliance device, so as to determine that the upgrade information to be acquired by the remote control device exists in the server according to the received notification message.
It can be understood that, when the upgrade information to be acquired by the remote control device exists in the server, the server sends the notification message of the upgrade information to be acquired by the remote control device in the server to the household electrical appliance through the communication connection with the household electrical appliance, and after the household electrical appliance receives the notification message, the household electrical appliance sends the notification message to the remote control device through the communication connection with the remote control device, so that the remote control device receives the notification message sent by the household electrical appliance.
As an example, after the remote control device establishes a communication connection with the home appliance device by using the bluetooth module, when the remote control device does not receive a control instruction sent by a user, the system is in a sleep mode. Because the household appliance is always connected with the power supply, after the upgrading information of the remote control device exists in the server, the server can send the notification message of the upgrading information to be acquired by the remote control device in the server to the household appliance through the communication connection between the server and the household appliance, so that the household appliance sends the notification message of the remote control device to the remote control device through the Bluetooth connection between the household appliance and the remote control device.
As another possible situation, after the remote control device establishes a communication connection with the home appliance device by using the first communication module, if the remote control device does not acquire the notification message sent by the home appliance device through the communication connection with the home appliance device within the set time length, the remote control device reduces the power consumption of the first communication module to enable the remote control device to be dormant. Therefore, when the remote control equipment does not receive the notification message sent by the household appliance equipment within the set time length, the power consumption of the first communication module is reduced, the overall power consumption of the remote control equipment is reduced, and the service life of the remote control equipment and the service life of the battery are prolonged.
When a second communication module for communication between the remote control device and the server is in a sleep mode, because the household appliance is always connected with the power supply, the household appliance can receive a notification message which is sent by the server and contains upgrading information to be acquired by the remote control device in the server in real time through communication connection with the server, so that the remote control device can acquire the notification message sent by the household appliance in time in the sleep mode.
103, responding to the notification message, and waking up the second communication module; and the power consumption of the second communication module in the working state is larger than that of the first communication module.
In the embodiment of the application, after receiving the notification message sent by the home appliance, the remote control device wakes up the second communication module in response to the notification message, so as to access the server through the communication connection established between the second communication module and the server.
It should be noted that the power consumption of the second communication module in the operating state is greater than the power consumption of the first communication module. When the remote control equipment does not need to download the upgrading information from the server, the second communication module is in a dormant or power-off state, so that the overall power consumption of the remote control equipment is reduced, and the service time of the remote control equipment and the service life of a battery are prolonged. For example, the first communication module may be a bluetooth module and the second communication module may be a WiFi module. It should be noted that, because the system of the remote control device is large, after the remote control device receives a notification message of the upgrade information to be acquired by the remote control device in the server sent by the home appliance device through the bluetooth module, the remote control device wakes up the WiFi module to acquire the upgrade information from the server by using the WiFi module.
And 104, accessing the server to acquire the upgrading information through the second communication module.
In the embodiment of the application, after the remote control device wakes up the second communication module, the server is accessed through the communication connection established between the remote control device and the server by adopting the second communication module, so that the upgrading information to be upgraded of the remote control device is obtained. And after the remote control equipment acquires the upgrading information from the server, upgrading the system of the remote control equipment according to the upgrading information.
The technical scheme in the embodiment of the application at least has the following technical effects or advantages:
in the embodiment of the application, the communication connection with the household appliance is established by adopting the first communication module; receiving a notification message sent by the household appliance through communication connection; the notification message is used for indicating that the upgrading information to be acquired by the remote control equipment exists in the server; waking up the second communication module in response to the notification message; the power consumption of the second communication module in the working state is larger than that of the first communication module; and accessing the server to acquire the upgrading information through the second communication module. Therefore, after the remote control device establishes communication connection with the household appliance device through the first communication module and receives the notification message, the second communication module with high power consumption is awakened again to acquire the upgrading information from the server through the second communication module, and when the server does not need to be accessed to acquire the upgrading information, the second communication module is controlled to be in a dormant state or a power-off state to reduce the power consumption of the second communication module, so that the overall power consumption of the remote control device is reduced, and the service life of the remote control device is prolonged.
It can be understood that, in the step 104, the remote control device accesses the server through the second communication module to obtain the upgrade information so as to upgrade the system of the remote control device, and there are cases where the upgrade is successful and the upgrade is failed. When the upgrade is successful, the second communication module can be controlled to sleep, or the power supply of the second communication module is cut off, so that the power consumption of the second communication module is reduced; and when the upgrading fails, the steps of obtaining the upgrading information and upgrading can be executed again, and the specific implementation process is shown in the second embodiment.
Example two
Fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of an upgrading method for a remote control device according to a second embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 2, after the step 104, the method for upgrading the remote control device may further include the following steps:
step 201, determining that the upgrade is successful, controlling the second communication module to sleep, or cutting off the power supply of the second communication module.
In the embodiment of the application, the remote control equipment acquires the upgrading information from the server, and after the system of the remote control equipment is upgraded successfully, the user can be reminded of the successful upgrading through voice prompt and/or picture prompt. For example, a prompt message of "upgrade successful" may be displayed on the display interface of the remote control device; or, a prompt message of 'upgrade success' can be prompted in a voice prompt mode; or when the prompt message of 'upgrade success' is displayed through the display interface of the remote control device, the upgrade success is prompted through a voice prompt mode.
As a possible implementation manner, after the remote control device determines that the upgrade is successful, the second communication module can be controlled to sleep, and when the remote control device is in a sleep state, the communication signal is weakened, the detection distance is increased, and the power consumption of the second communication module is reduced.
As another possible implementation manner, after the remote control device determines that the upgrade is successful, the power supply of the second communication module may be cut off, so that the second communication module does not operate, thereby reducing the power consumption of the second communication module.
Therefore, the second communication module is controlled to be dormant, or the power supply of the second communication module is cut off, so that the power consumption of the second communication module is reduced, the overall power consumption of the remote control device is reduced, and the service time of the remote control device and the service time of a battery in the remote control device are prolonged.
Step 202, determining that the upgrade fails, and re-executing the steps of obtaining upgrade information and upgrading.
As a possible situation, the remote control device obtains the upgrade information from the server, and after the system of the remote control device is upgraded, there is a case that the upgrade is failed. In this case, the remote control device accesses the server again through the second communication module to obtain the upgrade information, so as to upgrade the system of the remote control device again according to the obtained upgrade information.
It should be noted that, after the remote control device acquires the upgrade information from the server through the second communication module, there may be a case where the acquired upgrade information is not matched with the remote control device, so that the upgrade is failed, and therefore, the step of acquiring the upgrade information and upgrading the upgrade information needs to be executed again.
And step 203, if the number of times of re-execution reaches the set retry number, controlling the second communication module to sleep or cutting off the power supply of the second communication module.
In the embodiment of the application, the remote control equipment accesses the server to obtain the upgrading information through the second communication module to upgrade, after the upgrading failure is determined, the remote control equipment re-executes the step of obtaining the upgrading information and upgrading, and when the remote control equipment fails to upgrade for multiple times, so that the number of times of re-executing the access server to obtain the upgrading information reaches the set retry number, the second communication module can be controlled to sleep or the power supply of the second communication module is cut off. Therefore, after the remote control equipment fails to be upgraded for multiple times, the overall power consumption of the remote control equipment can be reduced by reducing the power consumption of the second communication module.
It should be noted that the steps 201, 202, and 203 are not performed sequentially, and after the step 201 is performed, the step 202 and the step 203 are not performed.
The technical scheme in the embodiment of the application at least has the following technical effects or advantages:
in the embodiment of the application, when the upgrade is determined to be successful, the second communication module is controlled to sleep, or the power supply of the second communication module is cut off, the upgrade is determined to be failed, the steps of obtaining the upgrade information and upgrading are re-executed, and if the re-execution times reach the set retry times, the second communication module is controlled to sleep, or the power supply of the second communication module is cut off. Therefore, the overall power consumption of the remote control device can be reduced by reducing the power consumption of the second communication module, so that the service life of the remote control device is prolonged.
Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the application provides another upgrading method for remote control equipment, and specifically refers to the third embodiment.
EXAMPLE III
Fig. 3 is a schematic flowchart of an upgrading method for a remote control device according to a third embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 3, the upgrade method of the remote control device is executed by the home appliance device, and may specifically include the following steps:
step 301, establishing communication connection with remote control equipment; the communication connection is used for the remote control equipment to adopt the first communication module for communication.
Wherein, the first communication module can be a bluetooth module. The remote control device can be a mobile terminal, an intelligent remote controller, and the like.
In the embodiment of the application, after the remote control device is powered on, the remote control device can establish a network list to establish a wireless network according to an adopted wireless communication protocol, and the household appliance device applies for the wireless network which is added to the remote control device assembly. When finding that the household appliances apply to join the wireless network, the remote control device performs access detection on the household appliances sending the joining request, if the detection is successful, allocates network addresses and network identifiers for the household appliances, and adds the newly joined household appliances into a network list, thereby establishing communication connection with the household appliances.
Step 302, determining that the upgrade information to be acquired by the remote control device exists in the server, and sending a notification message to the remote control device through the communication connection.
The notification message is used for instructing the remote control device to wake up the second communication module so as to access the server through the second communication module to acquire the upgrade information and upgrade the upgrade information, and the power consumption of the second communication module in the working state is larger than that of the first communication module.
In the embodiment of the application, after the communication connection is performed between the household appliance and the server, when the household appliance determines that the upgrade information to be acquired by the remote control device exists in the server, the household appliance sends the notification message to the remote control device through the communication connection between the household appliance and the remote control device.
It can be understood that, when the upgrade information to be acquired by the remote control device exists in the server, the server sends the notification message of the upgrade information to be acquired by the remote control device in the server to the household electrical appliance through the communication connection with the household electrical appliance, and after the household electrical appliance receives the notification message, the household electrical appliance sends the notification message to the remote control device through the communication connection with the remote control device, so that the remote control device receives the notification message sent by the household electrical appliance.
Specifically, when upgrading information to be acquired by the remote control device exists in the server, the server sends a push message to the household appliance, after the household appliance receives the push message sent by the server, the upgrading information to be acquired by the remote control device stored in the server is determined according to the received push message, the household appliance sends the push message to the remote control device through communication connection between the household appliance and the remote control device, and the remote control device receives the push message sent by the household appliance.
As an example, after the home appliance device establishes a communication connection with the remote control device by using the bluetooth module, when the remote control device does not receive a control instruction sent by a user, the system is in a sleep mode. Because the household appliance is always connected with the power supply, after the upgrading information of the remote control device exists in the server, the server can send the notification message of the upgrading information to be acquired by the remote control device in the server to the household appliance through the communication connection between the server and the household appliance, so that the household appliance sends the notification message of the remote control device to the remote control device through the Bluetooth connection between the household appliance and the remote control device.
In the embodiment of the application, after the remote control device establishes the communication connection with the household appliance device by using the first communication module, if the remote control device does not acquire the notification message sent by the household appliance device through the communication connection with the household appliance device within the set time length, the remote control device reduces the power consumption of the first communication module so as to enable the remote control device to be dormant. Therefore, when the remote control equipment does not receive the notification message sent by the household appliance equipment within the set time length, the power consumption of the first communication module is reduced, the overall power consumption of the remote control equipment is reduced, and the service life of the remote control equipment and the service life of the battery are prolonged.
When a second communication module for communication between the remote control device and the server is in a sleep mode, because the household appliance is always connected with the power supply, the household appliance can receive a notification message which is sent by the server and contains upgrading information to be acquired by the remote control device in the server in real time through communication connection with the server, so that the remote control device can acquire the notification message sent by the household appliance in time in the sleep mode.
In the embodiment of the application, the household appliance equipment determines that the upgrading information to be acquired by the remote control equipment exists in the server, and sends the notification message to the remote control equipment through the communication connection. And after receiving the notification message sent by the household appliance, the remote control equipment responds to the notification message and wakes up the second communication module to access the server through the communication connection established between the second communication module and the server, so that the system of the remote control equipment is upgraded according to the obtained upgrading information.
It should be noted that the power consumption of the second communication module in the operating state is greater than the power consumption of the first communication module. When the remote control equipment does not need to download the upgrading information from the server, the second communication module is in a dormant or power-off state, so that the overall power consumption of the remote control equipment is reduced, and the service time of the remote control equipment and the service life of a battery are prolonged. For example, the first communication module may be a bluetooth module and the second communication module may be a WiFi module. It should be noted that, because the system of the remote control device is large, after the remote control device receives a notification message of the upgrade information to be acquired by the remote control device in the server sent by the home appliance device through the bluetooth module, the remote control device wakes up the WiFi module to acquire the upgrade information from the server by using the WiFi module.
The technical scheme in the embodiment of the application at least has the following technical effects or advantages:
according to the upgrading method of the remote control equipment, the communication connection between the household appliance and the remote control equipment is established through the household appliance; the communication connection is used for the remote control equipment to adopt the first communication module for communication, and if the upgrade information to be acquired by the remote control equipment exists in the server, the notification message is sent to the remote control equipment through the communication connection. Therefore, after the household appliance receives the notification message sent by the server, the notification message is sent to the remote control device through the communication connection between the household appliance and the remote control device, the second communication module connected between the remote control device and the server is in a sleep mode, and the second communication module is awakened after the remote control device receives the notification message, so that the power consumption of the remote control device is reduced, and the service life of the remote control device is prolonged.
Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application further provides a device corresponding to the method for upgrading the remote control device in the foregoing embodiment, which is shown in the fourth embodiment.
