Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that in the following description, similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , an embodiment of the remote remote home appliance method of the present invention is executed by a remote remote home appliance system 1 , and the remote control home appliance system 1 includes an internet connection 3 . The server 11 , a handheld electronic device 12 connected to the server 11 through the Internet 3 , and a server connected to the server 11 through the Internet 3 and can be controlled and distributed A remote control device 13 that emits an infrared signal.

The remote control home appliance system 1 operates an electrical product 14 , wherein the handheld electronic device 12 wirelessly connects the Internet 3 via mobile communication technology, or wirelessly connects the Internet 3 with Wi-Fi communication technology. The remote control device 13 wirelessly connects the Internet 3 with Wi-Fi communication technology, or wirelessly connects the Internet 3 with, for example, power line or fiber optic communication technology. The handheld electronic device 12 and the remote control device 13 are connected to the server 11 according to a pre-stored internet protocol address.

The server 11 prestores a lookup table 111 including an identification code 112 of the plurality of handheld electronic devices 12 and identification information 113 of the plurality of remote control devices 13, and the lookup table 111 describes the correspondence between the identification codes 112 and the identification information 113. . The home appliance 14 can be issued with a predetermined frequency band by using a remote controller (not shown) configured with the home appliance 14 in steps 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 of the embodiment. The infrared signal performs the corresponding action to easily realize the smart life of the remote control.

In step 21, the remote control device 13 transmits a self-identification information 131 having a production number of the remote control device 13 to the server 11, wherein the self-identification information 131 is one of the identification information 113. In this example, the production number of the remote control device 13 is an Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) applied to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (Incorporated (IEEE) Registration Authority).

In step 22, the handheld electronic device 12 transmits a self-identification code 121 to the server 11, wherein the self-identification code 121 is one of the identification codes 112. In this example, the identification codes 112 is an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI).

In step 23, the server 11 obtains the control authority of the remote control device 13 having the self identification information 131 corresponding to the self identification code 121 based on the lookup table 111.

Step 23 also includes sub-step 231 and sub-step 232. In sub-step 231, the server 11 finds the self-identification code 121 in the identification codes 112 of the look-up table 111 according to the self-identification code 121, and identifies the identification according to the self-identification code 121. In the information 113, the self identification information 131 corresponding to the self identification code 121 is obtained. In sub-step 232, the server 11 obtains the control authority of the remote control device 13 having the self-identification information 131 by the self-identification information 131.

In step 24, the handheld electronic device 12 transmits a manipulation command to the server 11, which transmits the manipulation command to the remote control device 13.

In step 25, the remote control device 13 receives the manipulation command, and sends a first infrared signal of the predetermined frequency band according to the manipulation command, so that the home appliance 14 performs corresponding actuation, and the remote control device 13 can be according to the factory of the household electrical appliance 14 Infrared signals of different frequency bands are emitted by cards or models.

It should be added that each identification information 113 can correspond to the plurality of identification codes 112, that is, one remote control device 13 can be used for multiple handheld devices. The sub-device 12 is controlled.

It should be further noted that the handheld electronic device 12 and the remote control device 13 are connected by a User Datagram Protocol hole punching (UDP) hole punching technology, and the user datagram protocol hole punching technology is a kind. A method of establishing a two-way UDP connection between Internet hosts in a private network using Network Address Translation (NAT), using a server that is reachable by any client, on the server The UDP public endpoint address of the client is stored and maintained in advance. When both parties need to communicate, the server can obtain the direct address of the other party through the server to establish a direct connection.

For example, when the handheld electronic device 12 is to be connected to the remote control device 13, the handheld electronic device 12 sends a message requesting connection to the server 11, and the server 11 transmits the remote control device 13 to the handheld electronic device 12. The address of the network address translation and the packet of the nickname and the UDP public endpoint address, and send the address and the nickname and the UDP public endpoint with the network address translation of the handheld electronic device 12 to the remote control device 13. The packet of the address, the handheld electronic device 12 transmits a request for authorization packet to the remote control device 13 according to the message in the packet transmitted by the server 11, and the remote control device 13 receives the packet requesting authorization, according to the servo The message in the packet transmitted by the device 11 transmits a confirmed packet to the handheld electronic device 12, and finally, the two parties establish an interworking UDP connection.

The handheld electronic device 12 is a smart phone 12, and the home appliance 14 is an air conditioner 14 as an example.

When the remote control device 13 is turned on, the Internet 3 is connected, and The self-identification information 131 is transmitted to the server 11 after being connected to the server 11 through the pre-stored Internet Protocol address.

When the user goes home, he wants to turn on the air conditioner 14 before going home to lower the temperature in the home. After the smart phone 12 is connected to the server 11 through the Internet 3, the self-identification code 121 of the smart phone 12 is transmitted, and the server 11 uses the self-identification code 121 to obtain the lookup table. The corresponding self-identification information 131 is found in 111, and the control authority of the remote control device 13 having the self-identification information 131 is obtained. The smart phone 12 transmits an instruction to open the air conditioner 14 to the server 11, so that the The server 11 transmits the command to the remote control device 13. The remote control device 13 sends a first infrared signal of the predetermined frequency band according to the command, so that the home appliance product 14 is turned on, and the smart phone 12 can also issue a temperature adjustment and an air volume. For instructions, the instructions are not limited to this.

In summary, the remote control home appliance method of the present invention, the handheld electronic device 12 transmits the self identification code 121, obtains the control authority of the remote control device 13 through the server 11, and transmits the manipulation command to the remote control device 13 The remote control device 13 sends a first infrared signal of the predetermined frequency band according to the control command, so that the home appliance 14 performs a corresponding action, so that the user can remotely control the home appliance 14 from a remote location without the location limitation, and the user only needs to transmit the By holding the self-identification code 121 of the electronic device 12, the control authority of the remote control device 13 can be obtained, and the additional account password is not required to be memorized, so the object of the present invention can be achieved.

However, the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention cannot be limited thereto. The simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the patent scope and the contents of the patent specification are still within the scope of the invention.
