传统的多功能遥控器服务模式就是用户直接利用遥控器进行点对点 的操作,操作方式单一且麻烦。 这种遥控器在操作上, 由于遥控器的码型 众多, 想要选择合适的遥控器种类, 必须通过繁琐的说明书去寻找遥控器 类型, 然后根据说明书的具体操作要求, 进行复杂的操作。 这样很大程度 上降低了遥控器的使用频率, 同时对于编程者和用户来说, 内容和过程都 十分繁琐, 且容易导致错误的发生。 在使用过程中, 用户往往会碰到不同 品种和不同类型的遥控器不可能做在同一个遥控器内核中的情况, 这样用 户根据需要又要去购买相应的多功能遥控器来实现这些功能, 在一定程度 上增加了用户的经济负担, 同时也给用户增添了麻烦。
另外市场上也存在对码值的学习型多功能遥控器, 如图 1所示, 这种 遥控器对硬件的资源配置要求很高, 会受硬件成本的限制, 此所花费的硬 件代价也相应的提高。而且一旦原始的遥控器丢失,则没法码值的比对,况 且用户买多功能遥控器的目的就是如果原始遥控器丢失,还可以用它来替 代,但是这种遥控器适用的范围很有限,因此根本无法推广开来。 其他的多功能遥控器存在着遥控某一种类型的电器产品,而不能同时 控制多种类型的消费类电子的产品, 如在美国所申请的一个专利号为
6437836的专利。 同时, 这种遥控器存在操作方式复杂, 不容易被人很快 的学会并应用。 发明内容
本发明的一个目的在于克服上述缺陷, 提供一种网络多功能遥控器工 作的系统和方法, 用户一次性投资购买多功能遥控器后, 就可以解决现代 家庭中遥控器多且杂乱的现象。 这种多功能遥控器中可以同时在存储区中 储存不同的遥控器类型,根据地址的不同在 E2PR0M中分区储存, 当需要使 用时, 可以根据面板中的按键操作, 或者拨码开关的选择来选择所要求的 遥控器种类, 从而在存储区中寻找不同的码型程序。
本发明的另一个目的在于可以在网站上根据需要多次下载不同遥控 器的码型程序, 实现所需遥控器的功能, 不仅在操作上单一, 而且不易出 错, 并且可以根据需要提出要求下载的遥控器类型, 待相关人员程序编制 完成后再上传到网络, 用户再把程序下载到多功能遥控器中, 这样大大方 便了用户寻找相关遥控器的过程, 同时对自身也是一种有益的补充。 当用 户所使用的原来的家用电器被淘汰了, 用户还可以利用原来的多功能遥控 器控制新买的家用电器, 这样给用户提供了一种长期使用的保障。
本发明的另一个目的在于提供多功能遥控器的网络服务, 使用户在家 中就可以完成其所需要的服务项目, 通过其终端的 PC机完成多功能遥控 器的服务操作。 本发明的另一个目的在于向用户提供网络实时服务, 比其他传统多功 能遥控器更方便快捷, 而且从长远利益看, 在费用上远远低于其他传统多 功能遥控器。
本发明的另一个目的在于提供多功能遥控器网络服务, 它提供了一套 统一的测码装置, 可以更好的实现数据的收集和归类。
本发明的另一个目的在于提供多功能遥控器网络服务, 它向用户提供 了一种新型的多功能遥控器装置, 该多功能遥控器装有 USB接口电路, 可 以更快更好的下载网络上的数据到多功能遥控器中。
本发明的另一个目的在于提供多功能遥控器网络服务, 使多种遥控器 的类型在售后服务中找到一个统一的路径, 同时也增强了消费类电子使用 遥控器的信心。

所述的多功能遥控器装置包括:
键盘矩阵, 所述的键盘矩阵包括 VCD/DVD键盘矩阵区、 VCR键盘 矩阵区、 TV 键盘矩阵区和公共键盘矩阵区, 键盘矩阵可以根据需求进行 两种即两种以上不同种类的消费类电子产品的遥控器键盘组合, 其中每个 键盘矩阵区包括该消费类电子产品所要求的基本的键盘内容;
MCU内核, 用于在程序下载时处理程序数据的传送, 包括和 USB接口 电路之间的通讯以及控制 E2PR0M存储数据的操作, 在使用遥控器过程中, 可以直接处理 E2PR0M中的程序, 实现遥控器的功能, 该 MCU内核与键盘 矩阵连接;
E2PROM, 在程序下载时用于存储所要保存的程序, 在发码时, 用于 输出所存储的程序,该 E2PROM与 MCU内核连接。该 E2PROM中可以根 据地址分开若千个区域, 以一定的大小的空间作为一个遥控器的存储空 间, 从而 E2PROM可以分开存储若干种遥控器类型。
USB接口电路, 用于程序数据下载时的接口电路, 该 USB接口电路 与 MCU内核连接,其中下载数据通过 USB接口线进入 USB接口电路, 在 USB接口电路内部,数据由串行格式便为并行格式,由数据线进入到 MCU 内核, 两者的控制关系通过控制线完成。 数据传送到 MCU内核中, 程序 进行数据处理, 通过并行线把数据送到 E2PROM中存储起来, MCU内核 对 E2PROM的控制通过控制线来实现。
所述的多功能遥控器装置还包括一个红外发射管, 用于发码操作时码 型的发送, 通过三极管进行驱动, 该红外发射管与 MCU内核连接;
所述的一种多功能遥控器网络工作的方法包括步骤:
通过遥控器采样装置对现存的用户遥控器的参数进行采样; 通过测码装置对采样装置采集到的用户遥控器的参数进行分析和处 理, 使码型参数做到准确详尽;
将测码的数据输入到程序编制和上传设备装置, 这些码型数据被转换 成具体的程序并通过因特网传输到服务器装置, 以便用于数据存储和交 换, 服务器装置可以作为数据交换的一个平台; 多功能遥控器装置通过用 户终端装置和因特网从服务器装置读取所要求的程序。所述的读取所要求 的程序, 其步骤先进行 MCU电路内部的初始化, 然后检测 E2PR0M能否正 确操作, 检测的目的是在程序跳转到 E2PR0M前先判断 E2PR0M 是否可以在 指定地址进行正确读写固定内容操作, 如果不能则跳转至待机状态, 此时 有错误指示灯, 若可以正确操作, 则检测 USB口是否连接, 若连接则可进 行 USB传输操作, 把程序数据通过 USB接口协议输入到 MCU内核中, 在根 据入口地址分配到对应的 E2PR0M中的位置。
用户服务子系统由采样装置、 测码装置和上传设备装置组成, 其中采 样装置是指采集样机数据用的装置, 样机装置为各种不同厂家的遥控器, 可以由服务运行商提供, 也可以由代理商提供。 测码装置由服务运行商提 供, 可以自行使用, 也可以授权代理商使用。
数据存储 /交换装置是由服务器设备来实现的, 主要完成数据的上传 和存储。 在这里, 遥控器网站的建立是一个数据流通中一个必不可少的环 节。服务运行商根据需要申请一个专门用来存放遥控器编码程序的网站域 名, 然后在内部设立服务器, 当码表程序编写完成后上传到网站上。
本发明中, 多功能遥控器装置里, 其 USB接口电路可以用红外接收器 来替代, 适合用于用户终端装有红外发射接收器的情况。 为了考虑成本, 也可以把 USB接口电路直接做在 MCU内核中, 成为嵌入式的一部分。 同时 也可以把 PR0M嵌进到电路里面, 实现单片集成化。
为了实现本发明的上述目的、 优点和新的特征, 本发明为用户提供的 是一款多功能遥控器装置, 但它又区别于普通的多功能遥控器, 可以进行 网络操作, 并同时支持不同种类及品牌遥控器按键程序的下载操作。 用户 终端的 USB接口和多功能遥控器的 USB接口连接后, 数据流从服务运行商 所开设的遥控器专用网站上, 被下载到多功能遥控器装置中。 储存在服务 器中的按键程序根据客户的需要会下载到 E2PR0M存储器中。这些遥控器的 按键程序可以全部下载, 也可以有选择地下载常用按键程序。
遥控器网站由服务运行商开通, 网站上列有各种对应于不同种类与品 牌的消费类电子产品的遥控器按键程序。 用户登录遥控器网站后, 可以按 照多功能遥控器的键盘分区进行相应的遥控器按键程序的下载操作。 具体 而言, 用户可以通过在网页上相应的选择栏上挑选, 或通过将具体型号列 入搜索栏直接査找这两种方式, 首先挑选出所需的一款遥控器。 此时, 该 遥控器的实物图形(主要是键盘设置)会出现在网页的一边, 另一边会出现 多功能遥控器键盘图形。 实物图形中的每个按键对应有一段程序, 另一边 多功能遥控器图形中按键无程序, 通过鼠标的激活, 实物图形中按键对应 的程序可以转移到多功能遥控器相应键盘分区中, 相应的按键颜色也会发 生变化, 此时数据只是存在终端装置的缓冲区内。 当所需的按键程序全部 转移后, 相应的按键颜色均会发生变化, 此时屏幕下方的确认键被激活, 用户点击后, 程序一次性通过 USB 接口下载到多功能遥控器所对应的 E2PR0M地址空间中, 这样, 用户也就完成了多功能遥控器上一个键盘分区 按键程序的下载操作。 在上述操作过程中, 对应此键盘分区的按键程序可 以被全部下载, 也可以部分下载 (例如只挑选某些常用按键程序), 因为 每一按键程序段都是独立的。如果用户需要下载多功能遥控器其它键盘分 区的按键程序, 可重复上述操作过程。 在以上整个下载过程中, 用户可以 选择按照各个键盘分区单独进行下载, 也可以待多功能遥控器所有键盘分 区对应的按键程序被全部选定后, 一次性通过 USB接口下载到多功能遥控 器中所对应的 E2PR0M地址空间中。 在上述数据下载完成后, 多功能遥控 器便具备了上述那些被选择的遥控器的相应功能。
本发明中, 编制遥控器程序所需的码值来源是由用户或服务运行商提 供样机, 把样机经过采样 /测码装置测得; 也可以是代理商根据样机, 用 服务运行商提供的采样 /测码装置测出样机的码值, 以标准的格式保存下 来, 再把数据传送给服务运行商, 同时提供所测样机的型号、 生产厂家、 使用范围等与遥控器直接相关的一些重要信息, 服务运行商可以根据样机 码值数据和提供的信息, 在网页中对该种遥控器进行详细说明和注释。 这 些码值信息被收集到后, 程序编制者根据码表的数据格式编写程序, 编写 完程序后进行测试, 若测试检査后没有任何问题, 由网站管理人员根据遥 控器的类别上传到网站上。
本发明系统的用户服务子系统部分由采样装置、测码装置和程序编制 和上传设备装置组成; 数据存储、 交换装置, 此部分主要实现网页的制作 和码表程序的上传, 由相关人员专职负责处理; 用户操作子系统, 此部分 包括多功能遥控器装置和用户终端装置。
用户服务子系统和数据存储、 交换装置是通过因特网进行联系的, 在 这里, 遥控器网站的建立是一个数据流通中一个必不可少的环节。 服务运 行商根据需要申请一个专门用来存放遥控器编码程序的网站域名, 然后在 内部设立服务器, 当码表程序编写完成后上传到网站上。
用户操作子系统, 此部分包括多功能遥控器装置和用户终端, 此子系 统也是通过因特网进行联系的, 这里主要完成数据的下载和遥控器的使 用。

图 2表示本发明的整个系统的示意图, 用于描述系统的组成和服务模 式的形成。 在图 2所示的实施例中, 本发明主要由三大部分组成: 用户服 务子系统 20, 此部分由采样装置 201、 测码装置 202和程序编制和上传设 备装置 203组成; 数据存储 /交换装置 21, 或称服务器装置 211, 此部分 用于将制作网页和码表程序的数据进行存储、 交换和上传, 由相关人员管 理; 用户操作子系统 22, 此部分包括多功能遥控器装置 221和用户终端装 置 222。
用户服务子系统和数据存储 /交换装置是通过因特网进行联系的, 数 据存储 /交换装置是本系统数据流通中一个必不可少的环节。 在这里, 遥 控器网站的建立是一个服务运行商根据需要申请一个专门用来存放遥控 器按键程序的网站的域名, 然后在内部设立服务器, 当码表程序编写完成 后上传到网站上。
用户操作子系统, 此部分包括多功能遥控器装置和用户终端, 此子系 统也是通过因特网进行联系的, 这里主要完成数据的下载和遥控器的使 用。在用户服务子系统中, 最终的目的是遥控器编码程序的取得。 用户服 务子系统由采样装置 201、测码装置 202以及程序编制和上传设备装置 203 组成, 其中采样装置 201主要是指采集样机数据用的采样装置, 样机为各 种不同厂家的遥控器, 可以由服务运行商提供, 也可以由代理商提供。 测 码装置 202由服务运行商提供, 可以自行使用, 也可以授权代理商使用。 程序编制和上传设备装置 203主要实现码值向程序的转变和程序的上传。 服务器装置 211—般由服务运行商所设定, 在这里可以实现数据的存储、 交换等功能。 用户把终端装置 222和多功能遥控器 221相连, 通过登陆服 务运行商开设的专用遥控器网站, 进行屏幕操作, 实现遥控器码型数据的 下载。
图 3A表示本发明中的多功能遥控器装置的内部结构的一个实施例。 图 3B表示本发明中的多功能遥控器装置图 3A的改进实例。在实现多功能 遥控器的网络服务中, 多功能遥控器装置是其中关键的一个硬件装置。 图 3A 为多功能遥控器装置的一个内部结构框图, 由键盘矩阵 30、 MCU 内核
31、 E PR0M32、 红外发射管 33、 USB接口电路 34所组成。 其中下载数据 35通过四条 USB接口连线 343、 344、 345、 346进入 USB接口电路 34, 在 USB接口电路内部, 数据由串行格式便为并行格式, 由数据线 342进入到 MCU 内核 3 1, 两者的控制关系通过控制线 341完成。 数据传送到 MCU 内核 31中, 程序进行数据处理, 通过并行线 311把数据送到 E2PROM 32 中存储起来, 312为 MCU内核对 E2PROM的控制线。 这里 E2PROM是用 来分区存放不同种类的遥控器的码型程序, 根据地址的不同来进行分配空 间。
图 3B是图 3 A的一个集成化,其中图 3A中的 MCU内核 31、E2PROM
32、 USB接口电路 34被集成在一个电路实现其功能。
图 4 表示本发明中的多功能遥控器装置的内部结构的另一个实施 例。 图 4是多功能遥控器装置的另外一个内部结构框图, 由键盘矩阵 40、 MCU 内核 41、 E2PR0M42、 红外发射管 43、 红外接收器 44所组成。 与图 3A 和图 3B的最大区别在于程序下载的方式,图 3A是通过 USB 接口进行通讯, 图 4是通过红外接发射接收装置进行通讯的, 其通讯方式不同, 进来的数 据到 MCU内核时也有所不同。 同时除这两种方式下载数据外, 最常见的是 通过串口通讯来实现数据的下载工作。 图 3A中的标号 30和图 4中的标号 40都是键盘矩阵, 其外在的具体表现形式由图 5给出。 图 5中的每个按键 对应于图 3A和图 4中 E2PR0M中所存的相应的一段程序。 两个图中的红外 发射管 33和 43都是用来发射码型的元器件。
图 5A为本发明中多功能遥控器装置的键盘矩阵的一种分区组合方式 示意图。 图 5A所示的是 VCD/DVD、 VCR、 TV三种类型遥控器的键盘矩阵组 合图, A50为 VCD/DVD键盘矩阵区, A51为 VCR键盘矩阵区, A52为 TV键 盘矩阵区。
图 5B表示本发明中多功能遥控器装置的键盘矩阵的另一种分区组合 方式示意图。 图 5B为具有公共按键区的多功能遥控器装置的键盘矩阵组 合示意图, 图中所示的键盘矩阵由四种类型遥控器的键盘矩阵区组合而 成, 也可以分成二部分或者三部分、 五部分等等。 这里也可以根据不同的 情况来组合这四个部分, 主要由 VCD/DVD、 VCR, TV、 CD机、 功放、 空调、 数字电视机顶盒等各种消费类电子的遥控器来组合。 其中如图 5B所示的 是 DVD/VCD、 VCR、 TV三种类型遥控器的键盘矩阵组合, B50 为 VCD/DVD 键盘矩阵区, B51为 VCR键盘矩阵区, B52为 TV键盘矩阵区, B53为公共 键盘矩阵区, 其中 B501FUN按键可以用来转换这三种遥控器公共键盘矩阵 的功能, B502 , B511 , B521为各自遥控器的按键。 在公共键盘矩阵中, 比 如 0 9发码功能, 可以使用 B501FUN按键的转换来使用 0 ^9按键。 这样 设置公共键盘矩阵,可以减少一些多余的按键,使面板的大小趋于合理化。 多功能遥控器面板上每一种类型的遥控器对应于 E2PR0M 中的一段程序空 间, 在这段程序空间里每一个按键又对应于一小段程序, 这样形成一一对 应关系, 可以根据地址很快的调用。
图 6A表示本发明中数据上传的一个实施例,遥控器装置 A60中的数据 发出码型后, 通过测码装置 A611 , 测出码型的具体数据和形式, 码型数据 通过 USB接口 A612传送到数据上载装置 A62, 在这个 A62装置里, 要求把 码型数据转换成可上传的程序段。
图 6B表示本发明中数据上传的另一个实施例,遥控器装置 B60中的数 据发出码型后, 通过测码装置 B611 , 测出码型的具体数据和形式, 码型数 据通过红外接口 B612传送到数据上载装置 B62,在这个装置里, 要求把码 型数据转换成可上传的程序段。
整个系统的工作步骤请参照图 7,步骤 S701完成的是测码的过程,其 码值的取得方式上面的内容已经叙述, 在得到码值后, 对其进行编程操作 步骤 S702 , 编写完程序后进行测试, 若测试通过, 检查后没有任何问题, 则把数据上传到网站上步骤 S704, 在上传数据之前, 必须具备了遥控器的 专用网站和服务器步骤 S703 , 客户终端登陆到遥控器的专用网站前, 先把 下载前的准备工作做好步骤 S705 , 比如两种设备 USB 口的对接等, 然后 可以根据屏幕的提示进行下载编码程序的操作步骤 S706 ,编码程序下载完 后步骤 S707 , 通过 MCU的程序的执行存储到 E2PR0M中步骤 S708 , 这样多 功能遥控器就可以执行其遥控器的功能了步骤 S709。
图 8和图 9是 MCU内核处理数据下载处理和发码处理过程的步骤。 图 8中, 数据下载幵始后, 发码程序数据通过 USB接口电路步骤 S801 , 进 入到 MCU内核内步骤 S802 , 进行程序的处理步骤 S803 , 把发码程序数据 保存到 E2PR0M中, 并保留信息地址步骤 S804。 图 9中, 当使用多功能遥 控器时, 电路上电复位后, 先进行 MCU电路内部的初始化步骤 S901 , 然后 检测 E2PR0M能否正确操作步骤 S902 , 检测的目的是在程序跳转到 E2PR0M 前先判断 E2PR0M 是否可进行正确读写或读(可以在指定地址写固定内容) 操作, 如果不能则跳转至等待 (待机), 此时有错误指示灯, 若可以正确 操作, 则检测 USB口是否连接步骤 S903 , 若连接则可进行 USB传输操作步 骤 S904, 否则检测有无按键步骤 S905, 有按键则根据入口地址寻找存储 器中的程序数据步骤 S906 , 然后进行发码操作步骤 S907, 若无按键, 则 检测 USB接口是否连接步骤 S908 , 有连接循环进入步骤 S904, 无连接则 进入待机状态步骤 S909。
本发明在与硬件结构相关的软件编程上有自己的特点。一般通用的多 功能遥控器, 其程序是调用码表进行发码处理, 一般码表程序放在专用的 码表程序区, 当程序执行到发码时, 可以根据地址进行调用码表程序。 新 的这种多功能遥控器内部存有 USB接口数据处理程序、 键盘扫描程序、 按 键处理程序, 其程序处理过程如图 8所示。 数据处理程序主要处理从网络 上下载的, 通过 USB接口传送到 MCU的数据, 并根据 PC指针把数据转移 到 E2PR0M中, 同时处理 USB接口传送过来的数据, 判断在对应的位置上按 键程序是否存在, 并执行相应操作。 键盘扫描程序和按键处理程序是实现 遥控器功能的一个环节 ,如图 9所示, 在发码的时候, 可以根据需要读、 写 EaPR0M中的码值程序。 E2PR0M中的码值程序,一般分为 0. 5K一段程序, 每一段程序空间中包含了一种遥控器类型, 这样就可以分为若干个程序空 间, 包含若干种遥控器类型。 在按键发码程序中, 包含了码型的载波、 频 率、 占空比、 发码的高低电平的数据等有关码型的重要参数, 以及码型输 出的程序。一般 E2PR0M中, ROM区以 0. 5K为一段,存储一个码值程序, E2PR0M 选用 16K或更大内存的型号。
在本实施例中, 多功能遥控器是这个系统中一个最重要的装置, 它主 要实现码值程序的下载和遥控器功能。 当用户的码值程序从网站上下载 后, 实现的是一个灌码的过程, 数据流下载后, 通过 USB接口协议 (版本 可以更新, 包括 V1. 0、 VI. 1或 V2. 0 ), 在 USB接口电路中, 数据由串行数 据转换成 MCU可接受的并行数据, 通过并口线数据流入到 MCU内部, MCU 的内核中包含一部分数据处理程序, 可以对下载进来的码值程序进行分析 处理, 判断在 E2PROM相对应的位置上按键程序是否存在,然后把相应的 码值以 DMA 的方式进入到 E2PR0M存储器中, 根据 PC的值把程序保存在固 定的位置。 当用户需要使用遥控器时, 相应的操纵键被激活后, MCU会被 唤醒, 按键处理程序会进行判断, 根据得出的 PC指针值, 去 E2PR0M找到 相应的码值程序段, 码值程序找到后, 程序进行发码处理, 这样就实现了 所需要的遥控器功能。
综上所述,本发明通过网络提供多功能遥控器工作的系统和方法是在 网络发达的今天应用而生的, 针对目前多功能遥控器市场的具体情况, 所 提供的一种既方便操作又能使广大用户收益的服务模式和产品内容, 能够 有效的解决目前多功能遥控器较混乱的市场格局。本发明的上述实施方式 中的具体装置的构成可以在本发明的基本技术方案的基础上进行修改, 例 如, 遥控器装置的主要功能可能用单片集成电路来实现, 遥控器按键面板 的各种不同的外观设计, 测码装置内部存储器件和遥控器内部存储数据器 件的改变等, 遥控器面板的显示可用液晶显示来实现, 不同种类遥控器的 面板可按区域不同操作时发亮, 遥控器的操作可用触摸屏来操作实现, 这 些都不脱离本发明权利要求书的保护范围。
