遙控器可以說無處不在,甚至可以說遙控器已經到了會影響正常生活。回到家開車庫門用遙控器,車上鎖用遙控器,進到屋子開電視機選節目也用遙控器,開冷氣用遙控器,飯後打開音響聽音樂也用遙控器,所以說把遙控器從你生活中拿掉,一定會嚴重地影響到你日常生活的行為。The remote control can be said to be everywhere, and it can even be said that the remote control has already reached the normal life. Go back home to open the garage door with a remote control, use the remote control to lock the car, go to the house and turn on the TV to select the program, also use the remote control, open the air conditioner with the remote control, open the audio and listen to music after the meal, also use the remote control, so say remote control Removing it from your life will definitely affect your daily life.
遙控器由來已久,初期的遙控器是採用超音波來動作的,後來因為可用材料與技術的原因,超音波遙控器日漸凋零,最終被紅外線全面取代,紅外線發光二極體,編碼積體電路化,接收解碼模組化,紅外線遙控器一直以來大量被運用在大大小小的消費性電子產品上,像是電視機,錄放影機,音響,冷氣等。The remote control has been around for a long time. The initial remote control was operated by ultrasonic waves. Later, due to the available materials and technology, the ultrasonic remote control was gradually fading, and finally replaced by infrared rays. The infrared light-emitting diode and the integrated circuit were encoded. Modification, receiving and decoding modularization, infrared remote control has been widely used in large and small consumer electronic products, such as televisions, video recorders, audio, air-conditioning.

In this way, when the battery is relatively low, the power supply voltage is unstable due to the driving current of the infrared diode D101, and the remote controller cannot be used.

第二實施例Second embodiment
第3圖是本發明第二實施例的藉由工作電壓調整紅外線電流的遙控器的電路方塊圖。請參考第3圖,此第二實施例與上述實施例不同點在於,此實施例的電源檢測電路204係使用類比數位轉換器301實施。此類比數位轉換器301用以將電池的電源電壓VDD轉換為一數位值DV,並且輸出至上述電流控制發光二極體輸出驅動電路205。電流控制發光二極體輸出驅動電路205則根據所接收的數位值DV的大小,決定流過紅外線發光二極體D201的最大驅動電流Idrv的大小。一般來說,電流控制發光二極體輸出驅動電路205會有一個預設的門檻值,當數位值DV大於此門檻值時,則最大驅動電流Idrv的大小不會改變,當數位值DV小於此門檻值時,最大驅動電流Idrv會隨著數位值DV的大小依照比例改變。Fig. 3 is a circuit block diagram of a remote controller for adjusting an infrared current by an operating voltage according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, this second embodiment is different from the above embodiment in that the power supply detecting circuit 204 of this embodiment is implemented using an analog digital converter 301. The analog-to-digital converter 301 is configured to convert the power supply voltage VDD of the battery to a digital value DV, and output to the current-controlled light-emitting diode output driving circuit 205. The current-controlled light-emitting diode output drive circuit 205 determines the magnitude of the maximum drive current Idrv flowing through the infrared light-emitting diode D201 based on the magnitude of the received digital value DV. Generally, the current control LED output driving circuit 205 has a preset threshold value. When the digit value DV is greater than the threshold value, the maximum driving current Idrv does not change when the digit value DV is smaller than this. At the threshold value, the maximum drive current Idrv changes proportionally with the magnitude of the digital value DV.
另外,除了上述依照比例改變最大驅動電流Idrv的方式之外,電流控制發光二極體輸出驅動電路205內部也可以預設多個門檻值,例如可以設置第一、第二、第三、第四門檻值,其中第一門檻值>第二門檻值>第三門檻值>第四門檻值。當數位值DV大於第一門檻值時,則最大驅動電流Idrv的大小不會改變。當數位值DV介於第一門檻值與第二門檻值時,則最大驅動電流Idrv的大小變為原本的3/4。當數位值DV介於第二門檻值與第三門檻值時,則最大驅動電流Idrv的大小變為原本的1/2。當數位值DV介於第三門檻值與第四門檻值時,則最大驅動電流Idrv的大小變為原本的1/4。In addition, in addition to the above manner of changing the maximum driving current Idrv according to the ratio, the current control LED output driving circuit 205 may also preset a plurality of threshold values, for example, the first, second, third, and fourth may be set. Threshold value, where the first threshold value > the second threshold value > the third threshold value > the fourth threshold value. When the digital value DV is greater than the first threshold, the magnitude of the maximum drive current Idrv does not change. When the digital value DV is between the first threshold and the second threshold, the magnitude of the maximum driving current Idrv becomes 3/4 of the original. When the digital value DV is between the second threshold and the third threshold, the magnitude of the maximum driving current Idrv becomes 1/2 of the original. When the digital value DV is between the third threshold and the fourth threshold, the magnitude of the maximum driving current Idrv becomes 1/4 of the original.
上述實施例雖然是以四個門檻值與四個電流大小作舉例,然而,所屬技術領域具有通常知識者應當知道,電流的大小或門檻值的多寡取決於不同的設計與電路,因此本發明並不以此為限。Although the above embodiment is exemplified by four threshold values and four current magnitudes, those skilled in the art should know that the magnitude of the current or the threshold value depends on different designs and circuits, and thus the present invention Not limited to this.

Referring to FIG. 4, the third embodiment is different from the above embodiment in that the power detecting circuit 204 of this embodiment uses an amplifier 401, a first resistor R401, a second resistor R402, and a reference voltage generator 402. Implementation. One end of the first resistor R401 is coupled to the battery 202 to receive the power supply voltage VDD, and the second end of the first resistor R401 is coupled to the second resistor R402 and the positive terminal of the amplifier 401. The other end of the second resistor R402 is connected to the other end of the battery 202. The negative terminal of the amplifier 401 is coupled to the reference voltage generator 402 to receive the reference voltage VREF. When the power supply voltage VDD drops, the difference amplification signal VD outputted by the amplifier 401 is lowered, and the current control LED output driving circuit 205 determines the flow of the infrared light emitting diode according to the magnitude of the received difference amplification signal VD. The size of the maximum drive current Idrv of the body D201.

The other end of the second resistor R702 is connected to the other end of the battery 502. The negative terminal of the amplifier 701 is coupled to the reference voltage generator 702 to receive the reference voltage VREF. When the power supply voltage VDD drops, the differential amplification signal VD output by the amplifier 701 is lowered, and the microprocessor 503 controls the current control LED output driving circuit 505 according to the magnitude of the received difference amplification signal VD. The magnitude of the maximum drive current Idrv flowing through the infrared illuminating diode D501 is determined.

第8圖是本發明第四實施例的工作電壓調整紅外線信號強度的方法的流程圖。請參考第5圖,此方法包括下列步驟:Fig. 8 is a flow chart showing a method of adjusting the intensity of the infrared signal by the operating voltage according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 5, this method includes the following steps:
步驟S801:開始。Step S801: Start.
步驟S802:檢測電池的一電源電壓VDD。Step S802: detecting a power supply voltage VDD of the battery.
步驟S803:判斷電源電壓VDD的大小是否小於一電源門檻。當判斷為是,則執行步驟S805。當判斷為否,執行步驟S804。Step S803: determining whether the magnitude of the power supply voltage VDD is smaller than a power supply threshold. When the determination is YES, step S805 is performed. When the determination is no, step S804 is performed.
步驟S804:當電源電壓VDD的大小大於電源門檻,不調整紅外線的信號強度。Step S804: When the magnitude of the power supply voltage VDD is greater than the power threshold, the signal strength of the infrared light is not adjusted.
步驟S805:當電源電壓VDD的大小小於電源門檻,根據電源電壓VDD的大小,調整紅外線信號的強度,其中,隨著電源電壓VDD的大小越低,紅外線信號的強度被調整的越小。Step S805: When the magnitude of the power supply voltage VDD is smaller than the power supply threshold, the intensity of the infrared signal is adjusted according to the magnitude of the power supply voltage VDD, wherein the intensity of the infrared signal is adjusted to be smaller as the magnitude of the power supply voltage VDD is lower.
綜上所述,本發明之精神是藉由根據電池的電源電壓的大小調整流過紅外線發光二極體的電流。當電池的電源電壓越小時,便使流過紅外線發光二極體的電流變小。由於先前技術中,常常電池尚未用盡,便需要換電池。此時通常電池還具有二到四成的電力未被使用,造成浪費。另外,電池液體也有可能因此洩漏,造成遙控器中的電子零 件的損傷。利用本發明即可改善上述缺陷。In summary, the spirit of the present invention is to adjust the current flowing through the infrared light emitting diode according to the magnitude of the power supply voltage of the battery. When the power supply voltage of the battery is small, the current flowing through the infrared light emitting diode is made small. Since the battery has not been used up in the prior art, it is necessary to change the battery. At this time, usually, the battery also has two to forty percent of power that is not used, resulting in waste. In addition, the battery liquid may also leak, resulting in electronic zero in the remote control. Damage to the piece. The above drawbacks can be improved by the present invention.
