Based on the hardware architecture of the remote controller, the embodiment of the control method of the remote controller is provided.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a first embodiment of a method for controlling a remote controller according to the present invention, the method comprising the steps of:
step S10, acquiring the signal intensity corresponding to the information sent by the target household appliance to the remote controller;
in this embodiment, the execution subject is a remote controller. The remote controller comprises a plurality of communication modules, and the communication modes corresponding to the communication modules are different. The communication mode includes, but is not limited to, a first communication mode, a second communication mode and a third communication mode, the first communication mode is infrared communication, the second communication mode is bluetooth communication, and the third communication mode is infrared communication. The communication module corresponding to the infrared communication is an infrared module, and the infrared module is an infrared receiving and transmitting device; the communication module corresponding to the Bluetooth communication is a Bluetooth module; and the communication module corresponding to the wireless communication is a wifi module. The information propagation distance corresponding to the infrared communication is smaller than the information propagation distance corresponding to the Bluetooth communication, the information propagation distance corresponding to the Bluetooth communication is smaller than the information propagation distance corresponding to the wireless communication, and the power consumption corresponding to the infrared module, the Bluetooth module and the wireless module is increased in sequence. It can be understood that the infrared communication supports short-distance communication, and the power consumption of the infrared module is small; the Bluetooth communication supports medium-distance communication, and the power consumption of the Bluetooth module is slightly larger; and wireless communication supports long-distance communication, but wifi module's power consumption is great. The battery is installed to the remote controller, and the remote controller provides the electric quantity for communication module through the battery in order to supply the remote controller control household electrical appliances. Certainly, the remote controller can be provided with a power supply and a charging assembly, and the power supply can be charged through the charging assembly.
The user can control household appliances through a remote controller, and the household appliances can be air conditioners, televisions, washing machines, electric fans and the like. The household appliance is provided with a communication module corresponding to the remote controller. The home appliance associated with the remote controller is a target home appliance, and the target home appliance can automatically send information to the remote controller.
The remote controller acquires information sent by the target household appliance to the remote controller, and then acquires signal intensity corresponding to the information.
Step S20, determining the distance between the target household appliance and the remote controller according to the signal intensity;
and after the signal intensity of the information is acquired, the distance between the remote controller and the target household appliance can be determined according to the signal intensity. Specifically, the relationship between the transmission power and the reception power of the signal is: PR is PT/r n- (1), where PR is the received power of the signal, PT is the transmitted power of the signal, r is the distance between the device receiving the information and the device sending the information, and n is a propagation factor, the magnitude of which depends on the environment in which the signal propagates. Taking the logarithm on both sides of the formula (1) can obtain the formula (2), and 10 × nlgr is 10lgPT/PR- - (2). The transmitting power of the target household appliance is known, the receiving power of the information received by the remote controller is also known, and the transmitting power is substituted into the formula (2) to obtain the formula (3): 10lgPR ═ A-10 × nlg r- - (3). The left half 10lgPR of equation (3) is an expression for converting the received power to dBm, and can be directly written as equation (4): pr (dbm) ═ a-10 × nlg r- - (4), and in equation (4), a can be regarded as the power of the received signal when information is transmitted 1m away. As can be seen from equation (4), the values of constants a and n determine the relationship between the received signal strength and the signal transmission distance. The distance between the remote controller and the equipment can be calculated by the formula (4) and the signal intensity of the information.
Step S30, determining a first target communication method among the communication methods according to the distance, and starting a communication module corresponding to the first target communication method, so that the remote controller communicates with the target appliance in the first target communication method.
Each communication mode in the remote controller corresponds to an optimal distance interval. For example, the range interval corresponding to infrared communication is (0m, 5m), the range interval corresponding to bluetooth communication is [5m, 10m), and the range interval corresponding to infrared communication is [10m, + ∞). The remote controller determines a distance section where the distance is located, and determines a communication mode corresponding to the distance section as a first target communication mode. And the remote controller restarts the communication module corresponding to the first target communication mode, so as to communicate with the target household appliance through the communication module corresponding to the first target communication mode. It should be noted that, when the communication module corresponding to the first target communication method is started, the communication modules corresponding to the other communication methods are in a dormant state, that is, not started. For example, the first target communication mode is bluetooth communication, the remote controller starts the bluetooth module, and the infrared module and the wifi module are in a dormant state.
In addition, when the user controls the home appliance through the remote controller, the distance between the remote controller and the home appliance is changed when the user moves, and at this time, the communication mode of the remote controller needs to be determined. The household appliance can broadcast information at regular time, so that the remote controller can determine the distance between the remote controller and the equipment in real time.
It should be noted that the remote controller needs to be associated with the home appliance in advance to control the home appliance, that is, the remote controller knows what communication method needs to be used to communicate with the associated home appliance. Specifically, the remote controller sends an association request to the home appliance that needs to be associated. The association request carries the device identifier of the remote controller, and the household appliance stores the device identifier of the remote controller, so that association between the remote controller and the household appliance is completed, namely pairing between the remote controller and the household appliance is completed. After the household appliance is associated with the remote controller, the household appliance can send the equipment identifier of the household appliance to the remote controller, so that the remote controller stores the equipment identifier of the household appliance, and the household appliance with the stored equipment identifier is determined as the target household appliance by the remote controller. In the technical scheme provided by this embodiment, the remote controller obtains the signal strength corresponding to the information sent by the target household appliance, determines the distance between the remote controller and the target household appliance according to the signal strength, and determines the target communication mode in each communication mode according to the distance, so as to start the communication module corresponding to the target communication mode, and enable the remote controller to communicate with the target household appliance in the target communication mode. Because the remote controller can determine the target communication mode according to the distance between the remote controller and the target household appliance, the remote controller starts a proper communication module to communicate with the target household appliance, the electric quantity waste of the remote controller is avoided, and the communication mode between the remote controller and the household appliance is reasonable.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a second embodiment of the method for controlling a remote controller according to the present invention, and based on the first embodiment, before the step S10, the method further includes:
step S40, detecting the operation of triggering the remote controller to communicate with the target household appliance, and broadcasting information;
step S50, receiving information fed back by each home appliance based on the broadcast information;
and step S60, determining the information fed back by the target appliance from the information fed back, and executing the step of acquiring the signal strength corresponding to the information sent by the target appliance to the remote controller.
In this embodiment, the remote controller needs to broadcast information when determining the distance between the target home appliance and the remote controller. After receiving the broadcast information, each household appliance in the environment where the remote controller is located sends response information, wherein the response information is information fed back by the household appliance based on the broadcast information. The information fed back by the household appliances carries the equipment identification of the household appliances, and the remote controller can determine the information fed back by the target household appliances in each piece of fed back information, so as to obtain the signal intensity corresponding to the information fed back by the target household appliances.
The remote control is not broadcasting information in real time. The remote control broadcasts information only when it detects a tendency of a user to send a control command to the home appliance. That is, the remote controller broadcasts the information when detecting an operation that triggers the remote controller to communicate with the target appliance. The operation can be that the user touches the display screen of the remote controller, and the operation can also be that the user picks up the remote controller. The touch display screen can be determined by touch screen sensing, and the user can have an acceleration sensor or a gyroscope for sensing when picking up the remote controller. When the remote controller detects the operation, the tendency that the user sends control to the household appliance can be determined. In the technical scheme provided by this embodiment, when the remote controller detects an operation of triggering the remote controller to communicate with a target household appliance, the remote controller actively broadcasts information, so that the distance between the remote controller and the target household appliance is determined, the remote controller communicates with the target household appliance in a proper communication mode according to the distance, and the electric quantity waste of the remote controller is avoided.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a third embodiment of the method for controlling a remote controller according to the present invention, and based on the second embodiment, after step S50, the method further includes:
step S70, each feedback information does not contain the information sent by the target household appliance, and the communication mode with the maximum information propagation distance is determined as a first target communication mode;
step S80, the communication module corresponding to the first target communication method is started.
In this embodiment, since the information transmission power of the target appliance is fixed, when the distance between the target appliance and the remote controller is long, the remote controller cannot receive the information fed back by the target appliance based on the broadcast information, that is, the fed back information does not include the information fed back by the target appliance. In this case, it can be shown that the remote controller is far from the target household appliance, and the remote controller directly adopts the communication mode with the largest information propagation distance as the first target communication mode, that is, the control instruction of the remote controller can be remotely sent to the target household appliance, so that the target household appliance operates according to the control instruction. In the technical scheme provided by this embodiment, after the remote controller broadcasts the information, if the received information fed back by each household appliance does not contain information fed back by the target household appliance, it can be determined that the distance between the remote controller and the target household appliance is relatively long, and the remote controller automatically adopts a communication mode with the largest information propagation distance as a target communication mode, so as to ensure that the remote controller can control the command to be sent to the target household appliance.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a fourth embodiment of the method for controlling a remote controller according to the present invention, and based on any one of the first to third embodiments, after step S30, the method further includes:
step S90, detecting an operation of triggering a remote controller to send a control instruction, and sending the control instruction corresponding to the operation to the target household appliance through a communication module corresponding to the first target communication mode;
step S100, information fed back by the target household appliance is not received within a first preset time length, and a second target communication mode is determined, wherein the information propagation distance of the second target communication mode is greater than that of the first target communication mode;
step S110, starting the communication module corresponding to the second target communication mode, closing the communication module corresponding to the first target communication mode, and sending the control instruction to the target appliance through the communication module corresponding to the second target communication mode.
In this embodiment, after the remote controller starts the communication module corresponding to the first target communication mode, the user may send a control instruction to the target appliance through the remote controller, that is, when the remote controller detects an operation of triggering the remote controller to send the control instruction, the remote controller sends the control instruction to the target appliance through the communication module corresponding to the first target communication mode. The operation of triggering the control instruction of the remote controller may be that the user clicks a control instruction button on the remote controller, or the user clicks a button on a display screen of the remote controller.
When the target household appliance receives the control instruction sent by the remote controller, the target household appliance feeds back information to the remote controller to inform the remote controller that the target household appliance has received the control instruction. However, after the remote controller sends the control instruction to the target household appliance, if the control instruction sent by the target household appliance is not received within the first preset time period, the remote controller can determine that the target household appliance does not receive the control instruction, that is, after the remote controller starts the communication module corresponding to the first target communication mode, the distance between the remote controller and the target household appliance becomes longer due to the movement of the user. In this regard, the remote controller needs to replace the activated communication module, so that the remote controller can transmit the control command to the target appliance. Specifically, the remote controller uses a communication mode with an information propagation distance greater than the first target communication mode as a second target communication mode, so that the communication module corresponding to the second target communication mode is started to resend the control instruction to the target household appliance, and meanwhile, the communication module corresponding to the first target communication mode is closed. Of course, if the information propagation distance of the first target communication scheme is the largest among the respective communication schemes, the control command is retransmitted by the communication module corresponding to the first communication scheme.
In this embodiment, after the remote controller sends the control instruction to the target appliance, if the information fed back by the target appliance is not received, it may be determined that the distance between the remote controller and the target appliance is increased, and at this time, the first target communication mode may be replaced with a second target communication mode having a longer information propagation distance, so as to determine that the target appliance can receive the control instruction sent by the remote controller.
In an embodiment, after the remote controller starts the communication module corresponding to the first target communication mode, if the operation of sending the control instruction by the remote controller is not detected within the second preset time period, it may be determined that the user has no tendency to control the target household appliance, at this time. And the remote controller closes the communication module corresponding to the first target communication mode, so that the electric quantity of the remote controller is saved.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a fifth embodiment of the method for controlling a remote controller according to the present invention, and based on any one of the first to fourth embodiments, the step S30 includes:
a step S31 of determining a communication method with the lowest power consumption among the plurality of communication methods corresponding to the distance as a first target communication method;
and step S32, starting a communication module corresponding to the first target communication mode so that the remote controller can communicate with the target household appliance in the first target communication mode.
In this embodiment, the communication modes corresponding to the distances between the remote controller and the target home appliance may be multiple. For example, when the distance between the remote controller and the target home appliance is 5m, 5m is a distance demarcation point corresponding to the infrared communication and the bluetooth communication. That is, the remote controller can communicate with the target household appliance by adopting infrared communication, namely, the remote controller communicates with the target household appliance by adopting Bluetooth communication. In order to save the power consumption of the remote controller, the remote controller may determine, as the first target communication method, a communication method that consumes the least power among a plurality of communication methods corresponding to distances.
In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the remote controller determines, as the first target communication method, a communication method with the minimum power consumption from among a plurality of communication methods corresponding to distances, so as to save the power consumption of the remote controller.
The present invention further provides a remote controller, where the remote controller includes a plurality of communication modules, a memory, a processor, and a control program of the remote controller stored in the memory and executable on the processor, where the communication modes corresponding to the communication modules are different, and each communication module is connected to the processor, and when the control program of the remote controller is executed by the processor, the control method of the remote controller according to the above embodiment is implemented.
The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a control program of a remote controller, which when executed by a processor implements the control method of the remote controller described in the above embodiments.
