Figure 1: Schematic block diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 2 is a plan view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The creation control device is an example applied to home appliance control, but is not limited thereto.

The creation control device is powered by a plurality of electrical appliances, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and lamps. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, this book The preferred embodiment includes a motion recognition module 11, a display module 12 and a controller 13, or may include a touch panel 14 or a speaker 15. The motion recognition module 11, the display module 12, the controller 13, the touch panel 14, and the speaker 15 are disposed in a buried control box, the control box has a panel 100, and the motion recognition module 11 The display module 12 and the motion recognition module 11 are disposed on the panel 100.

The motion recognition module 11 senses a user's hand motion in a sensing range, such as a gesture motion, and generates a control signal correspondingly. In the preferred embodiment, the motion recognition module 11 is an infrared module, and the infrared module includes a plurality of infrared emitters 111 and an infrared receiver 112. The infrared emitters 111 are distributed in the infrared receiver. Around 112. The infrared emitters 111 sequentially emit infrared signals toward the sensing range. When the user approaches the sensing range of the motion recognition module 11, the infrared signal emitted by the infrared emitter 111 is reflected by the user, and the infrared receiver 112 receives the infrared signal reflected by the user.

When the user performs different gestures such as up, down, left or right in the sensing range of the motion recognition module 11, the intensity of the infrared signal received by the infrared receiver 112 is changed by the interference of the gesture. The infrared receiver 112 generates different control signals according to different infrared signal strengths, so different control signals respectively correspond to different gestures.

The display module 12 is configured to display the operating states of the electrical appliances 20. In the preferred embodiment, the display module 12 includes a plurality of LED displays 121, and the LED displays 121 respectively correspond to the electrical appliances 20. For example, assume that the electrical appliance 20 corresponding to the LED display 121 is a light. When the luminaire is illuminated, the LED display 121 also emits light. Conversely, when the luminaire is extinguished, the LED display 121 is correspondingly extinguished.

The controller 13 is electrically connected to the motion recognition module 11 , the electrical appliances 20 , the touch panel 14 and the horn 15 . After the controller 13 receives the control signal from the motion recognition module 11, the operating states of the appliances 20 are controlled according to the control signals. For example, if the user wants to adjust the brightness of a light fixture, the user's hand can be moved from bottom to top (ie, a gesture of upshifting) in the sensing range of the motion recognition module 11, and the infrared receiver 112 is correspondingly generated. The control signal, when the controller 13 receives the control signal, correspondingly brightens the brightness of the corresponding luminaire.

The controller 13 can be electrically connected to a recording medium 131. The recording medium 131 stores a plurality of voice files, and the voice files respectively correspond to different control signals. After receiving the control signal, the controller 13 further selects a corresponding voice file in the recording medium 131, and then drives the speaker 15 to issue a corresponding voice, such as a "brightness brightness" voice, according to the voice file, thereby being notified by the sound. The control action currently being performed by the user.

Since the user does not often operate the control device of the present creation, the authoring control device is often in a standby state. In order to achieve power saving, the controller 13 determines that the duration of stopping the reception of the control signal reaches a preset. At the time, a sleep mode is performed to dim the brightness of the display module 12, thereby saving power consumption when the user does not operate the control device of the present creation. The user can touch the touch panel 14 before the user wants to operate the created control device. When the user touches the touch panel 14, the touch panel 14 generates a touch signal correspondingly. Therefore, when the controller 13 performs the sleep mode, the touch signal is received from the touch panel 14, and the control is received. The controller 13 suspends the sleep mode and controls the display module 12 to restore the original brightness for viewing by the user.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the authoring control device can be connected to an external device 30 by wire or wirelessly. The external device 30 can be a mobile device such as a remote controller, a smart phone or a tablet computer, or a notebook computer or a table. Computer equipment such as a computer. If the electric appliance 20 is exemplified by the luminaire, the external device 30 can read the operation (such as switch or brightness adjustment, etc.) performed by the controller 13 and the operation state of each electric appliance 20, and present it to the user through the screen. In this way, even if the user is not at the installation site of the authoring control device, the user can grasp the action performed by the controller 13 through the external device 30, thereby knowing the operating state of each appliance 20.

In summary, the user can control different electrical appliances 20 by making a gesture in the sensing range of the motion recognition module 11. Compared with the prior art, the user does not need to press the button, so the contact of the contact is not poor. problem. In addition, the creation control device can be installed in the embedded control box. Since the control box is embedded in the wall, only the panel 100 is exposed on the wall surface of the wall, so that the overall view of the wall is relatively flat and beautiful. Moreover, since the user can control the electric appliance without actually touching the button, it is possible to avoid the mutual infection of the bacteria or virus between the user and the user, and to ensure the sanitation of the environment.
