Description

Multi-functional mobile controller {MULTI-FUNCTIONAL MOBILE CONTROLLER}

The present technology relates to a mobile controller, and in more detail, it is connected to a communication terminal through Bluetooth to replace and control the telephone function, the sound output function, or the inherent function of the communication terminal according to the data transmitted and received with the communication terminal. It relates to a multifunctional mobile controller.

With the recent development of mobile communication technology and network, various home appliances such as smart TV, audio, or IPTV set-top box with built-in IT-based smart functions and wireless LAN and Bluetooth as well as communication terminals are on the decline. There is an inconvenience that IT devices and smart devices cannot be controlled with a remote control. That is, conventional home appliances such as TV and audio can be controlled by a remote control through infrared (IR) communication technology at a distance, but IT devices and smart devices are not controlled by the remote control. In addition, in order to control home appliances such as TV and audio in the related art, it is inconvenient to separately provide a remote controller for each device.

In addition, IT and smart devices have the following inconveniences when using. First, the smart watch can immediately recognize and respond to a call when receiving a call in real time, but when making a phone call, noise is mixed and the user's voice is output at the same time as the voice is input to the microphone and speaker with the wrist close to the mouth. Contrary to the intention, the content of the call is radiated through the speaker, so it is difficult to use it in public places. Laptops and tablets, which are larger and heavier than smartphones, are inconvenient to carry at all times, so they are generally stored in a storage space such as a bag, so it is difficult to respond immediately when receiving a call, and it is inconvenient to make a call by contacting the user's mouth and ears directly. In contrast to the user's intention, the content of the call is radiated through the speaker, so it is difficult to use it in public places. That is, compared to a smart phone, a smart watch that is smaller in size and easy to carry at all times, and a communication terminal such as a tablet or laptop, which is difficult to carry at all times because of its large size and heavy, have disadvantages that are inconvenient to use for the purpose of making a phone call in real time.

In addition, conventional peripheral devices using Bluetooth, such as Hands Free, minimize restrictions on the user's movement and activity radius and generate a real-time beep sound when receiving a call, allowing the user to make a call immediately and conveniently. In order to use the functions that are not available in the user base and hands-free, for example, by pressing a number, the user can directly use the communication terminal to enter the desired phone number and make a call. There is a problem that must be manipulated.

In addition, when a user enjoys music, views a video, or generates other alarm sounds including sound effects, the sound is output from a speaker built into the communication terminal.

However, it is difficult to reproduce and listen in public places because sound is unilaterally radiated through the speaker built into the communication terminal. There is also a method of using a sound output device such as an earphone or headset with a built-in microphone when making a phone call or listening to sound in a public place, but when connecting directly to a communication terminal by wire, the user's activity radius is limited by the cable length limit Not only does the cable look good, there are potential problems such as disconnection, and there is a problem that the size of the communication terminal increases and the weight increases in order to provide a terminal for connecting the sound output device by wire. In the case of a smart watch, it is easy to carry at all times and can function as a sound reproducing device by having an internal capacity capable of accommodating sound data. However, it is not possible to connect directly to the sound output device by wire because there is no audio plug terminal. In the case of laptops and tablets, they are large and difficult to carry at all times due to their weight, so they move from the outside and are inappropriate for use as sound reproduction devices. There is the hassle of taking them out of the same housing and controlling them after turning on the screen.

Accordingly, it can replace the functions of diversified devices such as TV, audio, or IPTV set-top box with built-in smart functions, play sound instead, and control the device's unique functions, that is, perform these functions in an integrated manner. You need a controller that can do it.

Here, when the sound output device is connected to the sound output device connection unit 111, sound data is output with the sound output device as the top priority.

Preferably, the user inputs a control command such as play, stop, track movement, or mute (MUTE) to the input unit 115 using the multimedia button 330, or a volume control command through the volume control unit 112. Upon input, a corresponding command is transmitted to the communication terminal 200 through the communication unit 126, so that the output and operation of sound source or video data from the communication terminal 200 may be controlled.

In one embodiment, at the same time that sound source data generated from the communication terminal 200 is output through the controller 100, information on the sound source data currently being output from the communication terminal 200 or video data is the communication terminal 200 It may be output through a display provided in the.

Example 3. Communication terminal function control

When a user inputs a specific control command into the input unit 115 using the up, down, left and right arrow buttons, PGUP, PGDN, HOME, END, or Enter button on the arrow keypad 310, the control command is transmitted to the communication unit 126. A program transmitted to the communication terminal 200 and being executed in the communication terminal 200 based on a control command may be manipulated. For example, various programs running in the communication terminal 200 or installed in the communication terminal 200 can be controlled, such as navigator control, Internet browser scrolling, page turning of images or documents, or remote shooting of camera applications.

Example 4. Multi Pairing Phone function control, sound output function control, or communication terminal function control performed in case

When the power of the controller 100 is turned on while the controller 100 and the plurality of communication terminals 200 are paired in advance, the communication unit 126 of the controller 100 is a plurality of communication terminals located nearby. It tries to connect with 200. Here, it is assumed that the plurality of communication terminals 200 are referred to as a first communication terminal and a second communication terminal, and that the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal have a phone function or a sound output function.

Preferably, if only one of the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal is powered on, the controller 100 establishes a direct connection with the one communication terminal that is powered on, and the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal are turned on. When all the power of the terminal is turned on, the controller 100 establishes a connection with the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal, but among the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal, a communication terminal whose function is recently controlled by the controller 100 Can be controlled preferentially. That is, when the power of the controller 100 is turned on through the switch of the power supply unit 118 without any input from the input unit 115, the controller 100 is a communication terminal whose function is recently controlled through information stored in the firmware 122. Can be controlled preferentially.

In one embodiment, the pairing priority of the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal may be set, and the pairing priority may be stored in the firmware 122. Preferably, the function of the first communication terminal or the second communication terminal may be preferentially controlled according to a method of turning on the power of the controller 100.

For example, when the power of both the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal is turned on, the controller 100 through the switch of the power supply unit 118 in a state where the upward arrow is pressed on the arrow keypad 310 of the input unit 115 When the power of the power supply is turned on, the function of the communication terminal (for example, the first communication terminal) set as the first priority can be controlled, and the power supply unit in a state where the down arrow is pressed on the arrow keypad 310 of the input unit 115 When the power of the controller 100 is turned on through the switch of 118, a function of a communication terminal (eg, a second communication terminal) that has a priority set as a second priority may be controlled. Here, since the power of the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal are both turned on, they are all paired with the controller 100, but the function of one specific communication terminal among the plurality of communication terminals paired according to the power-on method This can be controlled preferentially.

For another example, when the power of the first communication terminal set to the first priority is turned on and the power of the second communication terminal set to the second priority is turned off, the down arrow is pressed on the arrow keypad 310 of the input unit 115 When the power of the controller 100 is turned on through the switch of the power supply unit 118, the controller 100 must first control the function of the second communication terminal, which has a priority set as a second priority, but the power of the second communication terminal is turned on. Since it is not turned on, the function of the first communication terminal that is turned on can be controlled. In this case, even if the power of the second communication terminal is turned on and paired while the controller 100 controls the function of the first communication terminal, the controller 100 maintains the function control of the first communication terminal.

Here, it has been described that when the power is turned on while the up arrow is pressed, the function of the communication terminal of priority 1 is controlled, and when the power is turned on while the down arrow is pressed, the function of the communication terminal of the second priority is controlled. , It is not limited thereto and can be variously modified.

For another example, when the power of the controller 100 is turned on through the switch of the power supply unit 118 while the OK (Enter) of the arrow keypad 310 of the input unit 115 is pressed, the pairing stored in the firmware 112 All information, including information, is erased and can be initialized.

In another embodiment, priorities among functions that can be controlled by the controller 100 may be set, and the function priorities may be stored in the firmware 122. Preferably, the function can be controlled according to the function priority of the functions performed in the first communication terminal or the second communication terminal paired with the controller 100, and the operation of controlling the function according to the function priority is described above. It may be performed independently of an operation in which a function is controlled according to a pairing priority between terminals.

For example, phone function control (including alarm generation) is set as first priority, sound output function control is set as second priority, and communication terminal function control is set as third priority, and both the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal are set to the controller 100 ), it is assumed. When a call is received from the second communication terminal while the sound output function of the first communication terminal is being controlled through the controller 100, the priority of the phone function control is higher than that of the sound output function control. It is possible to transmit an audio output stop command to the communication terminal and receive data regarding reception of a phone call from the second communication terminal. The user terminates the phone call after making a phone call received to the second communication terminal through the controller 100, or the user hangs up without receiving the phone call received through the controller 100, or the second communication When the telephone received by the terminal is disconnected, the controller 100 may transmit a sound output reproduction command to the first communication terminal to perform control of the sound output function for the first communication terminal again. This can be performed in the same way even when the function is controlled while only one communication terminal is paired with the controller 100.

Here, the phone function control by the controller 100 may be performed for only one communication terminal, and the sound output function control may be performed for a plurality of communication terminals. That is, the controller 100 cannot simultaneously receive a phone call from the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal, but the controller 100 simultaneously receives and outputs sound source data from the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal. In this case, two sound sources are played at the same time.

Although a preferred embodiment of the multifunctional mobile controller according to the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications are made within the scope of the claims, the detailed description of the invention, and the accompanying drawings.
