Remote control device capable of multi-group pairing

The invention relates to a remote control device capable of multi-group pairing, in particular to a remote controller body and a pairing device closest to the plurality of pairing devices, which are automatically connected to remotely control the remote control device to which they belong.

The electrical equipment used in daily life of the general family, such as TV, stereo, air-conditioning, fan or DVD, is usually equipped with different remote controls according to different types of electrical equipment, so as to facilitate the function of the user to control the electrical equipment, and No matter which kind of electrical equipment is used, the control signals of the remote control devices used are different. With the advancement of technology and the frequent use of electrical equipment, the number of remote controls has also increased, but it is impossible to use a single remote control device. The electrical devices located in different spaces are controlled in groups, and the user may have troubles in which the remote control device is not found in a short time or the remote controller is lost.
For example, the "Home Appliance Remote Control Integration System" of the Republic of China Patent Publication No. M309812 includes a remote control device and a receiving device. The remote control device includes: a memory unit; a button unit including a plurality of buttons; and a first transceiver unit; And a first processing unit, generating a command signal according to the operated button, and storing a command combination including the plurality of command signals in the memory unit, and transmitting the generated command signal or a command combination stored by the memory unit via the first A receiving unit wirelessly transmits, the receiving device comprises: a second transmitting unit; a second processing unit, receives a command signal or a command combination from the remote control device via the second transmitting unit, and decodes into a control signal And a switch receives a power supply and determines whether to output the power according to the decoded control signal. In this way, integrate many home appliance remote controls in one.
However, the operation mode of the integrated home appliance remote control must first turn on the power of the home appliance, and then select the TV, the recorder or the CABLE selector to wait for the button of the home appliance, press it and release it, then remotely Align the selected home appliances with the "Settings" button. When the selected home appliances are automatically turned off, please release the "Settings" button for about 1 to 4 minutes, and the setting is completed within about 1.5 seconds. The above-mentioned integrated home appliance remote control setting method is too complicated for the elderly, and if the integrated home appliance remote control replaces the battery, the memory code will disappear, or any button that will be "reset" will be mistakenly touched, the memory code It will disappear, and it is necessary to find out the manual and set it again. It is quite inconvenient to use.
Therefore, there is a Republic of China Patent No. M308573 "Home Appliance Remote Control with Frequency Switching", the disclosure of which is applicable to a first home appliance and a second home appliance, the home appliance remote controller comprising a work unit and an operation unit. The working unit presets a first remote control signal that cooperates with the first home appliance, and a second remote control signal that cooperates with the second home appliance. The operation unit is electrically connected to the working unit, and includes an operation key group and a switch button for selectively outputting the first and second remote control signals, so that the user can select the home appliance through the operation of the switch button The remote controller outputs the first and second remote control signals, so when one of the first and second home appliance remote controllers is lost or not at hand, as long as the remote control signal is switched, the first and second home appliances can be controlled as well. Effect. However, the disadvantage is that the above patent discloses that only the first and second remote control signals are used to control the first home appliance and the second home appliance through the switch button, and the function of the group pair remote control cannot be provided.
In actual use, when there are too many types of home appliances or homogeneity, it is not easy to remember the number of each appliance. For example, there is a TV in the living room and a TV in the bedroom. If the two brands are different, the corresponding control codes may not be the same, so it is quite difficult to remotely control all the home appliances with a universal remote control.

Based on the problems faced by the current universal remote control in different spaces, the present invention provides a remote control device capable of multi-group pairing, which is applicable to a group of more than one remote control device, including:
a remote control body, the remote control body is provided with a button group; a wireless pairing unit is disposed inside the remote controller body, and is provided with a first communication interface; a control unit is provided for setting the interior of the remote controller body, and is electrically connected Connected to the wireless pairing unit; a transmitting unit, disposed inside the remote controller body, electrically connected to the control unit and the button group; at least one of the pairing devices is provided corresponding to the first communication interface The second communication interface generates a communication signal, and the control unit searches for and transmits the communication signal through the first communication interface, so that the remote control body transmits a remote control signal via the transmitting unit.
The first communication interface and the second communication interface are Zigbee, RFID or Bluetooth.
When there are more than two matching devices, the control unit searches for the pairing device with the highest communication signal strength through the first communication interface to generate a connection.
The above control unit automatically selects the above communication signal.
The above control unit manually selects the above communication signal.
The above transmitting unit is one of an infrared emitter or a radio transmitter.
The main spirit of the present invention is that, by using the single remote controller body, after multi-group pairing, when used in a specific space, several remote control devices in the specific space can be operated, and in another specific space, another operation can be operated. Different kinds of remote control devices, which use automatic or manual detection of the nearest remote control device, have been controlled accordingly.
The invention has the following advantages:
1. The present invention uses a single remote controller body to control a plurality of remote control devices in a plurality of spaces, thereby reducing the number of remote control bodies and facilitating.
2. The remote control body is automatically linked to the closest pairing device among the plurality of pairing devices. For example, when implemented in a home, the remote control body is carried to any room, and can be connected to the pairing device in the room, so that the remote control device in the room can be remotely controlled, and since the remote controller is not paired with other rooms at this time The device is connected and the remote control signal does not affect the remote control device in other rooms.
3. The remote control unit and the pairing device are automatically connected according to the strength of the communication signal, and the operation is easy and easy for anyone to use.
