In the following, a detailed description will be given of a technical solution of a specific implementation of the control apparatus 100 according to the present application, where the control apparatus 100 according to the present application can be used to control a plurality of electronic devices, and the electronic devices that can be controlled by the control apparatus 100 are referred to as controlled devices. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

The control device 100 provided in the present application may specifically be a remote controller corresponding to the display device 200 such as a television, or the control device 100 may also be a remote controller corresponding to an electronic device such as an air conditioner or an air purifier. In the embodiments of the present application, the control device 100 is exemplified by a remote controller corresponding to a television, but is not limited thereto. Meanwhile, the remote controller may be regarded as having a corresponding relationship with one of the controlled devices. For example, taking the controlled device as the display apparatus 200 as an example, a manufacturer of the display apparatus 200 may provide the display apparatus 200 and the control apparatus 100 corresponding thereto at the same time, for example, a television provided by the manufacturer may provide a remote controller corresponding to the television at the time of sale, or the manufacturer may provide a greater number of remote controllers for the television as an alternative or replacement, and the like, and in this case, the control apparatus 100 of the display apparatus 200 may control a plurality of controlled devices other than the display apparatus 200.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a control system provided in the present application, and as shown in fig. 3, the control system provided in the present embodiment includes a plurality of controlled devices and a control apparatus 100, where the control apparatus 100 may have a corresponding relationship with one device of the plurality of controlled devices. The control device provided by the embodiment comprises: a processing unit 101, at least one air detection unit 102, a first communication unit 103 and a second communication unit 104. Wherein at least one air detection unit 102, a first communication unit 103 and a second communication unit 104 are each connected to the processing unit 101.

In some embodiments, the control device 100 provided in the embodiments of the present application has an air detection function, and taking the scenario shown in fig. 1 as an example, in addition to the user being able to use the control device 100 to control the display device 200, the control device 100 may further obtain an air parameter of an environment where the control device 100 is located through at least one air detection unit 102 disposed inside the control device 100. In fig. 3, at least one air detection unit in the control device 100 is denoted as an air detection unit a and an air detection unit b … …, and these air detection units 102 are configured to acquire an air parameter of an environment in which the control device 100 is located and send the air parameter to a processing unit, and the processing unit of the control device 100 performs subsequent further processing on the air parameter.

In some embodiments, an opening is provided on the housing of the control device 100, so that the air detection unit 102 inside the control device 100 can collect the external air parameters of the control device 100 through the opening, thereby detecting the environment of the user using the control device 100.

In some embodiments, the control apparatus 100 provided by the present application has at least two communication units, which are denoted as a first communication unit 103 and a second communication unit 104, wherein the first communication unit 103 is configured to determine that a current signal transmission direction of the control apparatus is toward a target controlled device of the plurality of controlled devices, and the second communication unit 104 is configured to be able to communicate with any one of the plurality of controlled devices.

For example, in the scenario shown in fig. 3, the control apparatus 100 may control any one of the plurality of controlled devices in the environment when the environment in which the control apparatus 100 is located includes the plurality of controlled devices, denoted as controlled device a and controlled device B … … controlled device N. Therefore, it can be understood that, in the control apparatus 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, on the basis of using the second communication unit 104 to communicate with any controlled device, the first communication unit 103 is further provided for determining that the control apparatus 100 specifically faces a target controlled device in the plurality of controlled devices, so that the control apparatus 100 can implement simultaneous control over the plurality of controlled devices in the environment.

In some embodiments, the processing unit 101 in the control apparatus 100 is configured to be able to control different controlled devices.

In one scenario, when the processing unit 101 determines that the control apparatus 100 is facing a target controlled device of the multiple controlled devices through the first communication unit 104, the processing unit 101 acquires the air parameter through the at least one air detection unit 102, and then sends the air parameter to the target controlled device through the first communication unit 103.

In another scenario, when the processing unit 101 of the control apparatus 100 determines that the control apparatus 100 is directed to a target controlled device of the plurality of controlled devices through the first communication unit, a control command is transmitted to the target controlled device through the second communication unit 104. The control command may be a control command corresponding to a target controlled device in a control command set of multiple controlled devices determined by the processing unit 101 according to the air parameter; alternatively, the control command may be determined by the processing unit based on the air parameter and the targeted controlled device being directed; alternatively, the control command may be determined by the processing unit based on a received instruction from the user of the control device 100 to transmit the control command.

For example, after the processing unit 101 in the control apparatus 100 determines that the control apparatus 100 faces a target controlled device of the plurality of controlled devices through the first communication unit 103, the processing unit further determines a first profile corresponding to the target controlled device. Then, the control apparatus 100 may control the target controlled device according to the first configuration file. After receiving an instruction to send a first control command to a target controlled device through an interaction unit such as a key, the processing unit 101 of the control apparatus 100 determines a data format corresponding to the first control command from the first configuration file, and finally sends the first control command corresponding to the data format to the target controlled device through the second communication unit 104. The control device 100 provided by the application can determine the configuration file corresponding to the target controlled device when determining that the target controlled device faces any one of the plurality of controlled devices through the first communication unit 103, and then send the control command to the target controlled device according to the data format corresponding to the target controlled device in the configuration file when receiving the control command, so that the purpose of using the same key and other interaction units of one control device is achieved, the plurality of controlled devices can be controlled respectively, the functions of the control device of the display device are greatly enriched, and the user experience of the display device is improved. Or, after acquiring the air parameters, the processing unit 101 may determine a control command set of a plurality of controlled devices in advance according to the air parameters, and after determining that the control apparatus faces the target controlled device according to the first communication unit, send a control command corresponding to the target controlled device in the control command set to the target controlled device. Alternatively, after the processing unit 101 acquires the air parameter, it may determine the control command corresponding to the target controlled device according to the air parameter after determining that the control device faces the target controlled device.

In some embodiments, the control apparatus 100 and the target controlled device 200 shown in fig. 3 are in a corresponding relationship, for example, when the target controlled device 200 is a display apparatus, the control apparatus 100 is a remote controller of the display apparatus. At this time, the control apparatus 100 may transmit a control command to the target controlled device 200 when determining that the target controlled device 200 is oriented; since the remaining target controlled devices of the control apparatus 100 have the corresponding relationship, the control apparatus 100 may also send the control parameter to the target controlled device through the second communication unit after acquiring the air parameter through the at least one air detection unit without determining whether the target controlled device is facing the target controlled device. When the control device controls other controlled equipment without corresponding relation, the control device still needs to firstly determine the direction of the controlled equipment and then send the air parameters and/or the control commands to the controlled equipment. For example, since the control device 100 corresponds to the display device 200, when the processing unit 101 in the control device 100 receives the air parameter, the air parameter is directly transmitted to the display device 200 through the second communication unit, which may be bluetooth, WIFI, or the like.

In some embodiments, the first target controlled device may be a display device, and after the control device 100 transmits the collected air parameter to the display device 200, the display device may display the air parameter on a display screen thereof. For example, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the display device provided by the present application for displaying the air parameter, and in a scenario a shown in fig. 4, the display device 200 may display the air parameter at any position on its display screen 201 after receiving the air parameter sent by the control device. Alternatively, in the scenario B shown in fig. 4, when the display device 200 has a plurality of display screens, other contents such as time, date, and air parameters may be displayed on the sub-display screen 202 while the contents being viewed by the user are displayed on the main display screen 201. In some embodiments, the display device 200 may directly display the received air parameters, or may display the evaluation results (good air quality, medium air quality, poor air quality, etc.) of the air parameters, operation suggestions (advising to turn on the air purifier), and other contents after determining the correspondence between the section corresponding to the received air parameters and the evaluation results.

In some embodiments, since the control apparatus may control different controlled devices, the processing unit 101 may store information such as data formats of control commands corresponding to different controlled devices, and when the processing unit 101 of the control apparatus 100 determines that the television set is facing to the controlled device through the first communication unit 103, if a user clicks on a key "up" on the control apparatus 100, the processing unit 101 determines information corresponding to the control command of the television set from the storage unit, and transmits a control command with increased volume corresponding to the television set through the second communication unit 104 according to the information of the control command. When the processing unit 101 of the control device 100 determines that the air conditioner is oriented through the first communication unit 103, if a click operation of a user on the key "up" on the control device 100 is received, the processing unit 101 determines information of a control command corresponding to the air conditioner on the key "up" from the storage unit, and sends a control command for increasing the temperature corresponding to the air conditioner through the second communication unit 104 according to the information of the control command, so that the control of different controlled devices by the same key is realized. For example, when the second communication unit 104 is an infrared transceiver, different infrared data formats corresponding to different control commands may be stored in the storage unit.

In some embodiments, the processing unit 101 may further determine, according to the received air parameter, control commands corresponding to a plurality of controlled devices, and send the respective corresponding control commands to the plurality of controlled devices; alternatively, after the processing unit 101 determines the control command according to the air parameter, when the processing unit 101 determines that the control device 100 faces a controlled device, the corresponding control command is sent to the controlled device.

In some embodiments, the first communication unit for determining that the control apparatus 100 is connected to the target controlled device provided in the embodiments of the present application may specifically be an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) communication unit. For example, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of the control system provided in the present application, where a first communication unit 103 disposed in the control device 100 is referred to as a first UWB unit, correspondingly, a UWB communication unit is also disposed in each controlled device, and the UWB communication unit disposed in the controlled device is referred to as a second UWB communication unit.

In some embodiments, the first UWB communication unit, as illustrated in fig. 5, is specifically configured to perform UWB communication. The processing unit 101 in the control apparatus 100 may send a UWB tag acquisition request through the first UWB communication unit, and when a second UWB communication unit in any one of the plurality of controlled devices receives the UWB tag acquisition request information, the processing unit sends a UWB tag corresponding to the second UWB communication unit. For example, in the example shown in fig. 4, the second UWB communication unit 1 of the display device 200 corresponds to the UWB tag 1, the second UBW communication unit 2 of the air conditioner 210 corresponds to the UWB tag 2, and the second UWB unit 3 of the air purifier 220 corresponds to the UWB tag 3. After the second UWB communication unit 1 of the display apparatus 200 transmits the UWB tag 1 to the control apparatus, and the processing unit 101 in the control apparatus 100 receives the UWB tag 1 through the first UWB unit, the processing unit 101 may determine the display apparatus 200 as the target controlled device according to the UWB tag 1, and then the processing unit 101 may perform the step of transmitting the air parameter and/or the control command to the display apparatus 200 in the foregoing embodiment of the present application.

In some embodiments, as in the control system shown in fig. 5, a third communication unit is further provided in each controlled device for communicating with the second communication unit 104 in the control apparatus 100. For example, when the control device determines that the control device 100 is currently connected to and controlling the display device 200 according to the UWB tag 1, the processing unit 101 transmits the air parameter and/or the control command to the display device 200 through the second communication unit 104, and the display device 200 receives the air parameter and/or the control command transmitted by the control device 100 according to the third communication unit 1.

For example, the posture detection unit 105 may be a gyroscope for detecting information such as an angle at which the control device 100 is oriented and an angle with a horizontal plane and transmitting the information to the processing unit. In some embodiments, the first UWB communication unit in the control apparatus 100 may test the angle and distance of the received UWB tag source through its UBW antenna, and the test result, in combination with the orientation direction of the control apparatus detected by the attitude detection unit 105, may determine the current position relationship between the control apparatus 100 and the controlled device.

In some embodiments, the processing unit 101 may further determine a target controlled device toward which the control apparatus 100 is directed according to the direction of the orientation obtained by the gesture detection unit 105; alternatively, the processing unit 101 may determine whether the posture of the control device 100 is changed according to the orientation direction; alternatively, the processing unit 101 may control the control device to switch from the sleep mode to the operation mode after determining that the posture of the control device is changed by the posture detection unit according to the orientation direction.

The control device 100 shown in fig. 6 further includes: at least one interaction unit 106 configured to receive instructions from a user of the control device and/or to issue a prompt to the user of the control device. For example, the at least one interaction unit 106 may comprise at least one of: a keyboard 1061 and a microphone 1062 for receiving instructions from a user by pressing and sounding, respectively; the vibration motor 1063 and the buzzer 1064 are used to give a prompt message to the user in the form of vibration and sound, respectively. The interaction unit 106 may also include an LED notification light or the like.

In some embodiments, as in the control device 100 shown in fig. 6, the second communication unit specifically includes: the infrared communication unit 1032 and/or the bluetooth communication unit 1031 are configured to transmit data to the controlled device by infrared and bluetooth communication, respectively, where the transmitted data includes air parameters and/or control commands. When the second communication unit includes both the infrared communication unit 1032 and the bluetooth communication unit 1031, the processing unit 101 may select to transmit the control signal to the target controlled device using the infrared communication unit 1032 or the bluetooth communication unit 1031 according to a third communication unit provided in the target controlled device.

In some embodiments, the at least one air detection unit 102 provided within the control device 100 as shown in fig. 6 comprises at least one of: a Fine Particulate Matter (PM) sensor 1021, a Total Volatile Organic Compound (TVOC) sensor 1022, a temperature and humidity sensor 1023, and the like.

Fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a control method for a controlled device provided in the present application, where the control method shown in fig. 8 may be executed by a control apparatus provided in any embodiment of the present application, and specifically may be executed by a processing unit in the control apparatus, and the control method includes:

s101: a processing unit in the control apparatus determines, through the first communication unit, that the control apparatus is directed toward a target controlled device among the plurality of controlled devices.

In some embodiments, when the first communication unit is the first UWB communication unit, the processing unit first transmits a UWB tag acquisition request to a direction in which it is directed through the first UWB communication unit in S1011; subsequently, when a target controlled device of the plurality of controlled devices receives the UWB tag acquisition request, in S1012, the UWB tag of the target controlled device is transmitted to the first UWB communication unit, so that after the processing unit receives the UWB tag transmitted from the target controlled device through the first UWB communication unit, the target controlled device toward which the control apparatus is facing at this time may be determined according to the received UWB tag in S1013.

In some embodiments, fig. 9 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the control device provided in this application, for example, as shown in fig. 9, the control device 100 is provided with a housing, and a first communication unit and a second communication unit are provided in an area 110 above the housing in the figure, a direction a indicated by an upward arrow in the figure is a direction toward which the control device 100 faces, at this time, antennas of the first communication unit and the second communication unit in the area 110 also face the direction a, so that both communication units can communicate in the direction a, for example, the first UWB communication unit may transmit a UWB tag acquisition request to the direction a and receive a UWB tag from the direction a, and the second communication unit may transmit a control command to the direction a.

In some embodiments, when the air detection unit is included in the control device as shown in fig. 9, the air detection unit may be disposed in the lower region 120 of the housing, and an opening is disposed on the region 120 of the housing, so that the air detection unit inside the housing can detect air outside the housing through the opening.

In some embodiments, the housing of the control device shown in fig. 9 is further provided with a plurality of keys, and a user can send a control command to the control device by clicking the keys. In the example shown in fig. 9, the control means includes a switch/power key 131, a circular touch key 132, and a volume increase/decrease key 133. It should be noted that the configuration of the control device 100 shown in fig. 9 is merely an example, and the control device 100 may have other shapes, keys including other functions, and the like, and the present application does not limit the number of keys, key positions, functions, and the like outside the control device 100.

In some embodiments, in S1013, the processing unit may determine an angle at which the control apparatus is oriented at this time by the posture detection unit provided in the control apparatus, and determine the target controlled device which the control apparatus is currently oriented at, in combination with the signal arrival angle and the signal arrival time at which the UWB tag is received by the first UWB communication unit.

Alternatively, in other embodiments, the control device 100 may further separately provide a ranging module, such as a ToF laser ranging module, and direct the signal transmission/reception direction of the module to the same signal transmission direction as the first UWB communication unit. Therefore, when the first UWB communication unit faces the target electronic device, the distance L between the control device 100 and the controlled device 200 is determined at the same time through the distance measurement module, and the distance determination does not depend on whether the UWB tag is received through the first UWB communication unit or not through a processing mode parallel to the first UWB communication unit.

S102: the processing unit of the control apparatus further determines a first configuration file corresponding to the target controlled device according to the target controlled device determined in S101.

In some embodiments, the control device may control a plurality of different controlled devices, and the control command of each controlled device needs to be sent in different forms. Therefore, the storage unit of the control apparatus may store the configuration files corresponding to the multiple controlled devices in advance, so that the processing unit obtains the first configuration file corresponding to the target controlled device from the storage unit after determining the target controlled device.

For example, the configuration file described herein may be a different key on the control device, and a data format of a control command when the key controls the controlled device to execute a preset function. Taking the control apparatus shown in fig. 9 as an example, when the control apparatus 100 shown in fig. 9 is oriented toward the air conditioner, the volume increase/decrease key 133 corresponds to a control command indicating that the air conditioner increases or decreases the temperature, and thus the configuration file corresponding to the air conditioner includes a correspondence relationship between "+ key" and "data format of first infrared signal", "key" and "data format of second infrared signal". When the control device 100 shown in fig. 9 is directed to the air cleaner, the volume increase/decrease key 133 corresponds to a control command indicating an increase/decrease of the wind power, and thus the air cleaner corresponds to a profile including a correspondence relationship between "+ key" and "data format of third infrared signal", "— key" and "data format of fourth infrared signal".

S103: after determining the first configuration file in S102, the control apparatus may control the target controlled device according to the first configuration file. After a processing unit of the control device receives an instruction of sending a first control command to a target controlled device through an interaction unit such as a key, a data format corresponding to the first control command is determined from a first configuration file.

S104: after the control device determines the data format of the first control command, the control device can send the first control command to the target controlled device through the second communication unit according to the data format, so that the target controlled device is controlled.

Also taking the control device 100 shown in fig. 9 as an example, when the control device 100 shown in fig. 9 is directed to an air conditioner, the processing unit of the control device has determined a first profile through S101-S102. The control means detects a click operation of the "+ key" of the volume increase/decrease keys 133 by the user corresponding to an instruction to transmit a first control command of temperature increase to the air conditioner. Then, in S104, the processing unit sends out the first infrared signal through the second communication unit according to the data format of the first infrared signal, and the first infrared signal is used as the first control command for instructing the air conditioner to increase the temperature, so as to control the air conditioner.

In some embodiments, the above-mentioned embodiment of transmitting the infrared signal through the second communication unit is only an example, and the second communication unit may include: one or more of the communication units such as the infrared communication unit, the bluetooth communication unit, and the WIFI communication unit, the first configuration file may include a data format of a control command corresponding to a communication mode of the target controlled device. The control device can select an infrared mode, a Bluetooth mode or a WIFI mode from the second communication unit to send a control command to the target controlled device according to the indication of the first configuration file.

By analogy, the control device provided by the application can determine the configuration file corresponding to the target controlled device when determining that the control device faces any target controlled device in the multiple controlled devices through the first communication unit, and then send the control command to the target controlled device according to the data format corresponding to the target controlled device in the configuration file when receiving the control command, so that the same key of one control device is used, the multiple controlled devices can be controlled respectively, the functions of the control device of the display device are greatly enriched, and the user experience of the display device is improved.

Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used for illustrating the technical solutions of the present application, and not for limiting the same; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features may be equivalently replaced; and the modifications or the substitutions do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions depart from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
