Exemplarily, the initial value displayed by the "timing control" can be 00:00:00, and the user can manually modify it to the desired effective duration, for example, the user modifies the "timing control" to display 02:00:00. Alternatively, the user may not modify it, and keep the "timing control" always displaying the initial value of 00:00:00, which can be understood as: there is no limit to the effective duration of the target remote control to be shared on the receiving end device.

In another possible implementation, the initial value displayed by the "timing control" may correspond to a preset fixed duration, for example, the default initial value displayed by the "timing control" is 01:00:00, which is the target to be shared The effective time for the remote control to be available on the receiving device is 1 hour. The user can manually modify the effective duration displayed by the "timing control", and modify the preset fixed duration to a duration that meets the current usage needs, which will not be described here.

Through the above implementation, in the process of sharing the target remote control, when the user selects the target control to be shared on the sending device, by setting the available time of the device remote control (or target control) shared to the receiving device, thereby The control authority of different people to the device is further restricted, and the security of the device use process is improved.

Optionally, the target remote control (or "target control") shared by the user from the sending device to the receiving device may correspond to a preset effective range. The "preset effective range" may depend on the corresponding maximum transmission distance when infrared signals are transmitted between devices. Exemplarily, if the infrared signal is transmitted between devices, and the maximum transmission distance from the infrared transmitter to the infrared receiver is 10 meters, then the effective range corresponding to the target remote controller to be shared generated on the mobile phone is: The target device is the center, and the range is less than or equal to 10 meters, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In another possible implementation manner, the "target remote controller file" may also include operating parameter information of the target device. Exemplarily, for equipment such as air conditioners, the smart remote control application can use the current operating parameter information of the target equipment included in the target remote control file, such as the wind speed, wind direction, sweeping wind, cooling mode and target temperature (24 ℃) and other information. Therefore, parameters related to the current operation of the air conditioner, such as wind speed, wind direction, sweeping wind, cooling mode, and target temperature (24°C), can also be displayed for the user on the display screen of the receiving end device, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Specifically, the intelligent remote control application of the receiving end device may call the infrared module of the receiving end device, and the infrared emitter of the infrared module sends a pulse signal including the first operation instruction to the target device through infrared rays.

It should be understood that, when the receiver device detects a click operation on the first control by other users, it may determine the position coordinates of the first control according to the click operation event. The smart remote control application can determine the first control ID according to the position coordinates of the first control, and then can automatically search for the control information in the target remote control file, obtain the control code value of the first control, and then obtain the control code value of the first control according to the control code value of the first control. A pulse signal including corresponding binary coded information (that is, the first operation instruction) is generated.

In a possible implementation, when the "information of the target control" includes all the information of the virtual remote control ID, control ID, control symbol, control code value, and control protocol corresponding to each control as the target control, the receiving end The device can generate and store the "control data set" corresponding to the remote control of the target device according to the information of the target control. Therefore, the above-mentioned process of "automatic search" and "acquisition of the control code value of the first control" by the receiving end device can be based on the "control data set" corresponding to the remote control of the target device stored in itself to perform automatic search, and obtain the code value of the first control. Control code value.

Exemplarily, if the user clicks any control in the target controls on the receiving end device, the receiving end device can obtain the virtual remote control ID and control ID corresponding to the control clicked by the user according to the user's click operation; and further according to The virtual remote control ID and control ID, in the control data set corresponding to the remote control of the target device stored in itself, find and determine the control code value of the control; then further generate a pulse signal according to the infrared remote control NEC protocol, and pass it through the remote control of the receiving end device The infrared emitter sends this pulse signal to the target device.

In another possible implementation, when the "information of the target control" includes partial information of each control as the target control, for example, the "information of the target control" only includes the virtual remote control ID and control ID corresponding to each control When the receiving device receives the "target remote control file", it can determine the virtual remote control ID and ID corresponding to each control of the target control in the remote control of the target device added on the receiving device according to the information of the target control. Control ID. The receiving end device determines the virtual remote control ID and control ID of a control clicked by the user, and may return the virtual remote control ID and control ID of the control to the sending end device. Therefore, the process of "automatically searching" and "obtaining the control code value of the first control" of the receiving device may be: requesting the sending device to obtain the control code value of the first control, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Exemplarily, if the guest user clicks any control in the target control on the receiving end device, the receiving end device can obtain the virtual remote control ID and control ID corresponding to the control clicked by the user according to the user's click operation; further , the receiving end device can automatically return the virtual remote control ID and control ID of the control to the sending end device according to the virtual remote control ID and control ID of the control, and the sending end device will store the control corresponding to the remote control of the target device In the data set, search and determine the control code value of the control; the sending device returns the control code value of the control to the receiving device; the receiving device can then generate a pulse signal according to the infrared remote control NEC protocol, and pass the receiving device's The infrared emitter sends this pulse signal to the target device.

In combination with the second aspect and the above implementation manners, in some implementation manners of the second aspect, the obtaining the control code value of the first control in response to the click operation includes: obtaining the control code value of the first control in response to the click operation The first control ID; acquiring the control code value of the first control according to the first control ID and the information of the target control included in the target remote control file.

In a possible implementation manner, the sending end device detects a click operation of the first control by the head user, and determines the position coordinates of the first control according to the click operation event. The smart remote control application can determine the first control ID according to the position coordinates of the first control, and then search the stored control data set to obtain the control code value of the first control corresponding to the first control ID.

Exemplarily, in the home scene shown in FIG. 1 , various home devices such as a smart screen 10 , an air conditioner 20 , and a set-top box 30 may be included. During daily use of smart screen 10 , air conditioner 20 , set-top box 30 and other home devices, users can control or change the working status and mode of the device through the physical remote control, and adjust the parameters in the working process of the device. Taking the smart screen 10 as an example, when the smart screen 10 leaves the factory, it usually carries a physical remote control, such as an infrared remote control 40, through which the user can control the smart screen 10 to be turned on or off, switch broadcast channels, adjust the volume, The setting or modification of the display parameters of the display screen, etc.

Under normal circumstances, any home device such as smart screen 10 may be equipped with only one infrared remote control 40 when leaving the factory. For a family with many family members, different people may use the infrared remote control 40 of 40 is placed in different places, which may lead to the loss of infrared remote controller 40. When other family members expect to use the infrared remote controller 40 to control the smart screen 10, the infrared remote controller 40 may not be found, which affects the user experience.

In another possible situation, when there is a visitor at home, if the guest expects to switch the broadcasting channel of the smart screen 10, or to adjust the temperature parameter of the air conditioner 20 in the cooling mode, the home owner (household user) needs to find the smart screen 10 first. The physical remote control of the screen 10, and the physical remote control of the air conditioner 20, and then give the physical remote control of different devices to the guests for use. However, as the number and types of devices used in the home scene increase, it becomes more and more inconvenient to control different home devices through different physical remote controls; The condition of the remote control of the device affects the user experience.

Optionally, the infrared transmitter may be an infrared light emitting diode, and the infrared receiver may be an infrared integrated joint, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

(2) The electronic device also needs to be installed with a smart remote control application. The smart remote control application can be a smart remote control application developed by Huawei, or any application developed by a third-party company that can realize the remote control function of home devices. This application The embodiment does not limit this.

Taking the mobile phone 100 meeting the above conditions in the family scene in FIG. 1 as an electronic device, the process of adding a TV remote control and an air conditioner remote control to the smart remote control application on the mobile phone 100 is introduced below.

It should be understood that, in order to distinguish it from the physical remote control (infrared remote control) of a TV or air conditioner, the embodiment of the present application refers to the remote control added in the smart remote control application of the mobile phone 100 as a "virtual remote control", such as a virtual remote control of a TV , virtual remote control of air conditioner, etc.

In addition, for the convenience of description, in the embodiment of the present application, the operation keys on the "physical remote control (infrared remote control)" of the TV or air conditioner are called "keys", such as number key 1, power key, return key, etc. The operation keys displayed on the mobile phone interface in the "virtual remote control" added to the smart remote control application of the mobile phone are called "controls", such as power control, return control, etc., and will not be described in detail later.

Exemplarily, (a) in FIG. 2 shows an interface 201 displayed by the mobile phone in an unlocked mode, and the interface 201 displays a weather clock component and various application programs (application, App) and the like. Among them, the application program can include camera, smart life, settings, smart remote control and so on. It should be understood that the interface 201 may also include other more application programs, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

As shown in (a) in FIG. 2 , the user clicks the icon of the smart remote control application, and in response to the user's click operation, the mobile phone displays the main interface 202 of the smart remote control application as shown in (b) in FIG. 2 . The smart remote control application main interface 202 includes a bottom menu area, and the bottom menu area includes a "smart remote control" menu and a "TV program" menu, wherein the interface 202 is an interface corresponding to the "smart remote control" menu, and the "TV program" menu can be used to For users to query the real-time program arrangement of some TV channels. In addition, the interface 202 also displays the prompt information of adding a remote controller control 202-1 and "adding a remote controller": after adding, the device can be controlled by the mobile phone.

The user performs the operation shown in (b) in Figure 2, clicks to add the remote control control 202-1, and in response to the user's click operation, the mobile phone displays an interface 203 as shown in (c) in Figure 2, the A variety of different types of equipment are displayed on the interface 203, such as televisions, air conditioners, set-top boxes, cameras, network boxes, digital video discs (digital video disc, DVD), projectors, etc., and each type of equipment can correspond to different types and For/or virtual remote controllers of different styles, the user can select any type of device on the interface 203 according to current actual needs, that is, the type and style of the virtual remote controller is selected.

Optionally, the interface 203 may also include a custom control 203-1. If the interface 203 does not include the device type that the user expects to add, the user can add the required virtual remote control through the custom control 203-1, and define the number and functions of the virtual remote control keys, etc., the embodiment of the present application The process of customizing and adding a virtual remote control will not be repeated.

When the user wants to add a virtual remote control of the TV, he can perform the operation shown in (c) in Figure 2, click on the "TV" icon, and in response to the user's click operation, the mobile phone will display (d) in Figure 2 The brand selection interface 204 shown in the figure provides a variety of different TV brands for the user, and the user can slide the interface 204 to view more TV brands. In addition, a search box is also displayed on the interface 204, and the user can input a matching TV brand name in the search box to quickly find the target TV brand.

It should be understood that different brands of TVs may correspond to virtual remote controllers of different types and/or different styles, or may correspond to virtual remote controllers of the same type and/or same style, and the user may match the virtual remote controller more quickly by selecting a TV brand type and/or style of .

As shown in (d) in Figure 2, assume that the user clicks on the display area of brand A and selects a TV of brand A (referred to as "A TV"). In response to the user's operation, the mobile phone displays ( e) The interface 205 shown in the figure. The interface 205 can be understood as the pairing interface of the virtual remote control of TV A. The interface 205 displays the power control 205-1 and prompt information for user operations, for example: 1. Please point the mobile phone at the electrical appliance and click the button to send infrared Signal; 2. Select Yes/No according to the electrical response result.

According to the prompt information on the interface 205, the user can point the mobile phone at the TV A to be paired, and then perform operation 1 as shown in (e) in FIG. 2, and click the power control 205-1. The mobile phone sends an infrared signal to TV A through the infrared transmitter, and determines whether TV A responds, for example, TV A switches from off state to on state, or switches from on state to off state, or emits a "beep..." prompt sound, etc. reaction. When TV A reacts, the user can continue to perform operation 2 and click the control corresponding to "Yes". In response to the user's click operation, the mobile phone displays an interface 206 as shown in (f) in FIG. 2 . The mobile phone can automatically pop up a window 206-1 on the interface 206. This window 206-1 is used for the user to choose whether to save the remote control of TV A, and displays a prompt message to remind the user: If there are other button needs, please learn Keys and extended functions added.

Optionally, when TV A can receive the infrared signal sent by the mobile phone and has a response, it can return a response signal to the mobile phone, and the response signal can carry the equipment information of TV A, so that the mobile phone can accurately obtain the equipment of TV A according to the response signal information, and then accurately match the type and/or style of the virtual remote control for the current TV A. Wherein, the device information of TV A may include one or more information such as the device identification of TV A, software system information, resolution, memory, rendering model, processor processing speed, sensor, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. .

When the user decides to add the virtual remote control of TV A, the operation shown in (f) in Figure 2 can be performed, and the "Save" control is clicked. In response to the user's save operation, the smart remote control application of the mobile phone is successfully added. A virtual remote control for A TV. In other words, through the above process, the type and/or style of the virtual remote control adapted to TV A is added to the smart remote control application. However, the physical remote control of TV A has many buttons and complicated functions. In addition to the power button, the user may expect that the virtual remote control of the TV in the smart remote control application also has the functions of multiple buttons used in daily use.

In a possible implementation manner, the user can learn the controls and expand the control functions of the virtual remote control of TV A according to the prompt information in window 206-1.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a control learning process of a TV remote controller of an intelligent remote control application of a mobile phone. When the user performs the operation shown in Figure 2 (f) and clicks on the "Save" control, in response to the user's saving operation, the mobile phone can display an interface 301 as shown in Figure 3 (a). Interface 301 shows the style and control layout of the virtual remote control that matches the current TV A.

Optionally, in the interface 301, the displayed virtual remote control controls of TV A may include: a signal input control 11, a power control 12, a mute control 13, a volume control 14, a

channel control

15, 10 digital controls, and a collection control , return control, etc. In addition, an editing control 17 is also displayed on the interface 301, and the editing control 17 is used to trigger the control of the virtual remote control of TV A in the interface 301 to enter the learning state.

Exemplarily, the control 16 corresponding to the number "3" is taken as an example below to introduce the process of the control 16 learning the function of the key 3 of the physical remote control. As shown in Figure 3 (a), the user first performs operation 1, clicks the "edit" control 17 on the interface 301, and in response to the user's operation, all controls of the virtual remote control of TV A in the interface 301 can be Enter the learning state. The user performs operation 2 again, and clicks the control 16 corresponding to the number "3" on the interface 301. In response to the user's operation, the mobile phone displays an interface 302 as shown in (b) in FIG. 3, and only A is displayed on the interface 302. The control 16 corresponding to the number "3" of the virtual remote controller of the TV, and the window 302-1 is automatically displayed, and the prompt information for performing the button learning operation is displayed in the window 302-1, for example: 1. The remote controller is aligned with the infrared receiver of the mobile phone , keep a distance of 5 cm; 2. To start learning, press and hold the button to be learned for 2 seconds, and keep the phone and remote control still.

After viewing the prompt information in the window 302-1, the user can click on the control corresponding to "Got it" on the interface 302, and in response to the user's operation, the mobile phone displays the number "3" as shown in (c) in Figure 3 Corresponding to the learning interface 303 of the control 16 . The user can operate according to the prompt information in window 302-1, aim the physical remote control of TV A at the infrared receiver of the mobile phone, and keep a distance of 5 cm, and then execute the procedure shown in (c) in Figure 3 Operation 1, click the control 16 corresponding to the number "3" in the interface 303, and in response to the user's operation, the infrared transmitter of the mobile phone sends an infrared signal to the physical remote control of TV A; then according to the prompt information on the interface 303, click Press key 3 on the physical remote control and hold it for more than 2 seconds. In response to the user's operation, the physical remote control can return an infrared signal to the mobile phone.

Optionally, the infrared signal returned by the physical remote control to the mobile phone may include information corresponding to the "key 3" currently being learned, such as key value information and key function information of "key 3".

Exemplarily, Table 1 lists key values corresponding to some keys of the physical remote controller, and content of key functions and other information. As shown in Table 1, assuming that the key value corresponding to the key CH+ of the physical remote control is 226, the function can be described as: the focus of the graphical operation interface is moved up, and the live broadcast channel is added by 1. In other words, when the user presses the button CH+ of the physical remote control, the physical remote control can send an infrared signal to TV A through the infrared transmitter. The infrared signal includes the pulse signal corresponding to the button CH+. After TV A obtains the pulse signal, it can analyze and obtain The operation instruction corresponding to the pulse signal is then responded according to the operation instruction.

Table 1

In a possible implementation manner, the infrared signal between the physical remote controller and the TV A may be transmitted based on the infrared remote control NEC protocol. When the user presses a certain key of the physical remote control (infrared remote control), the physical remote control can determine the pulse signal corresponding to the key, and transmit a series of binary coded information to TV A through the pulse signal.

Exemplarily, after the user presses the button CH+, the physical remote controller determines that the binary coded information included in the pulse signal corresponding to the button CH+ is: 00000000 11111111 11100010 00011101. Among them, the first byte "00000000" and the second byte "11111111" form the user code, and the value of the user code is: 0x00FF. The third byte "11100010" is converted from binary to the corresponding decimal system, which is 226, and the fourth byte "00011101" and the third byte are inverse codes of each other. The physical remote control uses the value of the third byte in the binary coded information to define the functions of different keys.

Exemplarily, taking the "Back" button of the physical remote controller in Table 1 as an example, it is assumed that the key value of the "Back" button is 1. When the user presses the "Back" button, the physical remote control determines that the pulse signal corresponding to the "Back" button includes binary coded information: 00000000 11111111 00000001 11111110. After TV A receives the pulse signal, it determines the key value 1 according to the binary coding information contained in the pulse signal, and determines the key function of the "return" button according to the key value 1, and makes a response. It should be understood that in different scenarios, the "return" button may correspond to different functions. Specifically, when the user browses the electronic program guide (EPG) of the TV, click the "return" button to return to the last operation interface; when the user watches an on-demand TV program, click the "return" button to Return to the selection interface of on-demand programs; when the user is watching a live TV channel, click the "Back" button to return to the previous channel watched.

For the sake of brevity, the embodiment of the present application does not repeat the key values and function information corresponding to other keys of the physical remote control one by one. What needs to be explained here is that each key and key value of the physical remote control has and only has a unique correspondence.

When the mobile phone starts to receive the infrared signal (response signal) returned by the physical remote control, as shown in (c) in Figure 3, the interface 303 of the mobile phone may display a prompt message "receiving remote control signal..." .

After the infrared signal reception is completed, the prompt information can disappear automatically, and a "cancel" control and a "save" control are displayed on the interface 303, and the user performs operation 2 shown in (c) figure in Figure 3, and clicks "save". " control, in response to the user's saving operation, the mobile phone can jump to display the details interface 304 of the virtual remote control of TV A as shown in (d) in Figure 3 .

Optionally, the control learning process of the virtual remote control can be understood as: a certain control of the virtual remote obtains the key value information of a corresponding button on the physical remote control, and determines the control code value of the control according to the key value . After learning all the controls of the virtual remote control, the smart remote control application can obtain the key values of all the buttons of the physical remote control, that is, the infrared code table of the physical remote control, so as to create and save the control data set corresponding to all the controls of the virtual remote control , the control code value of each control in the control data collection is fixed.

It should be understood that the control data set may include the information of each control in all the controls of the virtual remote control, such as the virtual remote control ID, control ID, control symbol, control code value, control protocol and other information of each control. or all information.

It should also be understood that the smart remote control application may include virtual remote controls of one or more devices, and each virtual remote control of a device may correspond to a "control data set"; or, since each device has a different virtual remote control ID and each The control code value of a control is different, which can also be understood as a "control data set" corresponding to the virtual remote controllers of all devices in the smart remote control application, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In order to avoid ambiguity, the subsequent embodiments will be described as follows: each device's virtual remote control can correspond to a "control data set" as an example, and a "control data set" can include each of all controls of the device's virtual remote control The information of the control will not be described in detail later.

Exemplarily, as shown in (d) in FIG. 3 , the detailed interface 304 of the virtual remote controller of TV A includes various controls, and the controls on the interface 304 can be obtained as shown in the following table 2 after learning. Table 2 lists the information of some controls in the control data set of the virtual remote control of TV A, such as the virtual remote control ID, control ID, control symbol, control code value, control protocol, etc. corresponding to each control. information.

Wherein, in Table 2, the "virtual remote controller ID" is used to identify the unique identifier (identity, ID) of the virtual remote controllers of multiple devices added in the smart remote control application of the mobile phone. For example, the virtual remote control of A TV, the virtual remote control of B air conditioner, the virtual remote control of C set-top box, etc. may be added to the smart remote control application of the mobile phone. The virtual remote control of each device corresponds to a different ID. Suppose a certain control corresponds to The "virtual remote control ID" of the control is 01, indicating that the control is a control in "A TV's virtual remote control"; the "virtual remote control ID" corresponding to a control is 02, indicating that the control is "B air conditioner's virtual remote Controls in the Tool.

The "control ID" is used to identify which one (control position, coordinates, etc.) the control is included in the virtual remote control of TV A shown in interface 304, and each control has a unique control ID.

The "control symbol" is a symbol displayed on each control in the virtual remote control of TV A shown in the interface 304, such as

numbers

1, 2, 3 and so on.

"Control code value" is used to generate operation instructions, each control corresponds to a unique control code value, and the control code value of each control has a unique correspondence with the key value of the same button on the physical remote control.

The "control protocol" is a communication protocol for signals between the user's virtual remote control of TV A on the mobile phone and TV A. Assuming that the signal is based on the infrared remote control NEC protocol, the infrared signal (pulse signal) between A TV’s virtual remote control and A TV can include a series of binary coded information, for example, at least including 8-bit address code (user code) and 8-bit command code (control code value). Specifically, for the data format and the like of the infrared signal (pulse signal), reference may be made to the relevant content of the infrared remote control NEC protocol, which will not be repeated in this embodiment of the present application.

It should be understood that through the process of (a)-(c) in Figure 3, the smart remote control application of the mobile phone can establish the corresponding relationship between the button 3 of the physical remote control and the control 16 corresponding to the number "3" of the virtual remote control . For example, the key 3 (key value 7) of the "physical remote control" in Table 1 is associated with the number 3 control in the "virtual remote control" in Table 2 (the virtual remote control ID is 01, the control ID is 006, and the control code value is 00000111), that is The control 16 of the virtual remote controller has the same function as the button 3 of the physical remote controller.

Exemplarily, when the user clicks the control 16 corresponding to the number "3" on the interface 304 of the "virtual remote control of TV A" of the smart remote control application of the mobile phone, the mobile phone can obtain the control ID of the control 16 as 006 and the control code value of 00000111, Generate a pulse signal according to the infrared remote control NEC protocol, and send the pulse signal to TV A through the infrared transmitter of the mobile phone. For example, the pulse signal can be: 00000000 11111111 00000111 11111000. TV A can analyze and obtain the pulse signal, and determine the operation instruction contained in the pulse signal. The operation instruction can realize the function corresponding to button 3 (key value 7) of the "physical remote control", and then TV A can follow the operation command to respond.

In other words, whether the user presses the button 3 of the physical remote control or clicks the control 16 of the virtual remote control of the mobile phone, for A TV, the same pulse signal is obtained, or the same operation instruction is obtained, and the same Function.

Similarly, the user can continue to complete the learning of other controls in the virtual remote control of TV A according to the learning process of the control 16 corresponding to the above-mentioned number "3", so that the virtual remote control of TV A shown in (d) in Figure 3 All the controls included in the details interface 304 of the controller and the buttons of the physical remote control establish a one-to-one correspondence; or, users can also learn only some of the controls that are used frequently according to their own needs. For simplicity, this application implements Examples will not be repeated one by one.

Through the above process, the virtual remote control of TV A is added to the smart remote control application of the mobile phone, and after control learning, the virtual remote control of TV A can have the function of a physical remote control, and the user can use the virtual remote control in the smart remote control application of the mobile phone controller to control TV A.

After the user completes the desired control learning, he can perform the operation shown in (d) in Figure 3, click the "return to previous page" control on the interface 304, in response to the user's return operation, the mobile phone will display as shown in Figure 3 The interface 305 shown in (e) figure. This interface 305 is the main interface of the smart remote control application, and compared with the interface 202 shown in (b) figure in FIG. name, click the icon 305-1 of the TV A or the display area of the name "TV A", and you can enter the interface 304 of "Virtual Remote Controller of TV A", and use the controls on the interface 304 to control TV A, here No longer.

In addition, if the user wants to add more remote controllers of devices, he can continue to click the add remote controller control 305-2 on the interface 305, and continue to add more remote controllers of devices according to the process described above, which will not be repeated here.

The above in conjunction with accompanying

drawings

2 and 3 introduces the addition of the virtual remote control of TV A in the smart remote control application of the mobile phone, and completes the control learning process of the virtual remote control of TV A, so that the user can use portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers The smart remote control application of A TV controls the channel switching, volume adjustment, display parameter adjustment, etc. of TV A.

For the air conditioner 20 , set-top box 30 and other equipment in the home scene in FIG. 1 , the user does not involve too many operations when using some household equipment such as the air conditioner 20 and the set-top box 30 . For example, for the air conditioner 20, the user may only need to adjust the air conditioner on or off, the wind direction and speed, and the temperature. Therefore, compared with the physical remote control of the TV, the number of buttons and functions of the physical remote control of the air conditioner 20 are relatively simple. Therefore, for home devices such as the air conditioner 20 and the set-top box 30 , the smart remote control application can provide users with another more convenient way to add a virtual remote control.

When the user performs the operation shown in (g) in Figure 4, and clicks the "return to previous page" control on the interface 407, in response to the user's return operation, the mobile phone displays as shown in (h) in Figure 4 interface 408. This interface 408 is the main interface of the smart remote control application, and compared to the interface 305 shown in (e) figure in FIG. " name, click the icon 408-1 of the B air conditioner or the display area of the name of "B air conditioner", you can enter the interface 407 of "virtual remote control of B air conditioner", and control it through the controls included in "virtual remote control of B air conditioner" Turn on or off the B air conditioner, and adjust the operating parameters of the B air conditioner in the working process, etc.

Exemplarily, when the user clicks the working mode control 24 on the interface 407 of the "virtual remote control of B air conditioner" in the smart remote control application of the mobile phone, the mobile phone can obtain the control ID of the working mode control 24 as 004 and the control code value of 10110100, according to the infrared The remote control NEC protocol generates a pulse signal, and sends the pulse signal to the B air conditioner through the infrared transmitter of the mobile phone. For example, the pulse signal can be: 00000000 11111111 10110100 01001011. The B air conditioner can analyze the pulse signal and determine that the operation instruction contained in the pulse signal corresponds to the working mode button of the "physical remote control". In response to the operation instruction, the B air conditioner switches the working mode, such as switching from cooling mode to heating mode , which will not be repeated here.

Through the process in Figure 2 to Figure 4 above, you can add the virtual remote control of the TV and the virtual remote control of the air conditioner to the smart remote control application of the mobile phone through different methods. Users can also add set-top boxes, cameras, Virtual remote control for network boxes, DVDs, projectors, and other devices, so that users can control the on and off of multiple devices, switch working states, and adjust the working parameters of each device during work through a mobile phone Etc., get rid of the dependence of each device on the physical remote control.

In a possible scenario, suppose that in a family scenario, a virtual remote control of the TV or an air conditioner is added to the mobile phone of the head user. When the physical remote control of the TV or air conditioner cannot be found, other users When different people, such as members or visiting guests, want to turn on the TV, switch the TV channel, adjust the playback volume, or adjust the operating temperature of the air conditioner, they can only use the smart remote control application of the head user's mobile phone to pass through the user's mobile phone. The virtual remote control of the added TV controls the process of using the TV, or the virtual remote control of the air conditioner controls the work of the air conditioner. In this scenario, if different people use the main user's mobile phone to control the TV or air conditioner, it may affect the use of the mobile phone by the main user, and the main user may not be willing to lend his private mobile phone to others. The risk of leaking private content on the mobile phone of the head user.

Or, other family members in the family, or different people such as visiting guests can also add a virtual remote control of the TV or air conditioner to the smart remote control application of their mobile phone according to the process described above. In this implementation process, if different people follow the above process to add the virtual remote control of the TV or air conditioner to their mobile phones, each device of each person needs to repeat operations such as adding and pairing, and the implementation process is cumbersome and time-consuming.

Secondly, for home devices such as TVs, each control in the virtual remote control usually needs to be learned and paired with the buttons of the physical remote control one by one. , it is impossible to complete the learning and pairing of the controls in the virtual remote control, that is, it is impossible to add a virtual remote control of the TV to other people's mobile phones.

In addition, for children in the family or visiting guests, once the TV remote control is added to their mobile phone using the method described above and the learning and pairing process of the controls in the virtual remote control is completed, they will have an independent, permanent The head of the household may not want children in the family or visiting guests to have independent and permanent control rights to the TV.

Therefore, the above-mentioned different implementation methods cannot meet the needs of multiple people to use multiple devices, and cannot take into account the control authority requirements of different people on different devices, and the user experience is poor.

In view of the above problems, the embodiment of the present application will provide a method for sharing virtual remote controllers between devices. This method can share the virtual remote controllers that have been added and available in electronic devices such as mobile phones to other electronic devices, and the shared The process can take into account the user's permission requirements, simplify the operation process, and improve the user experience.

It should be understood that the method for sharing a virtual remote control provided by the embodiment of the present application is applied between two different electronic devices. For "sender device" and "receiver device".

Optionally, the "sending device" and the "receiving device" may be the same type of device, for example, both the "sending device" and the "receiving device" are mobile phones; or, the "sending device" and the "receiving device" " can be different types of devices, for example, the "sending device" is a mobile phone, the "receiving device" can be a tablet, etc.

Exemplarily, taking the above-mentioned family scene in FIG. 1 as an example, the mobile phone 100 is used as the "sending device", and the smart remote control application of the "sending device (mobile phone 100)" has added virtual remote control of one or more devices device. For example, the mobile phone 100 has added "virtual remote control of TV A" and "virtual remote control of air conditioner B" in the smart remote control application according to the aforementioned processes in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 .

It should be understood that the virtual remote controller of any device that has been added in the smart remote control application can be used as the "virtual remote controller to be shared" introduced in the embodiment of this application. The "process of sharing the virtual remote control" in the embodiment of the present application can be understood as: the head user shares the virtual remote control of TV A or the virtual remote control of air conditioner B added on his mobile phone 100 with other family members or visitors. Electronic equipment, so that other family members or visitors can control A TV or B air conditioner through their own electronic equipment. In this process, the mobile phone 100 of the head user is the "sending device", and the electronic devices of other family members or visitors are the "receiving devices".

It should also be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, both the "sending device" and the "receiving device" meet the conditions of the electronic devices described above, for example, both the "sending device" and the "receiving device" have infrared modules, For example, an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver can send or receive infrared signals; and both the "sending device" and the "receiving device" are installed with the same type of smart remote control application.

Exemplarily, (a) in Fig. 5 shows the main interface 501 of the smart remote control application of the mobile phone, and the icon and name of A TV and the icon and name of B air conditioner are displayed on the interface 501, indicating that the smart remote control of the mobile phone The virtual remote controls that have been added to the application include: A virtual remote control for TV and B air conditioner virtual remote control.

In a possible implementation, the user can select a virtual remote controller of a device to be shared from the virtual remote controllers of one or more devices that have been added on the main interface 501 of the smart remote control application, and trigger the The sharing process of the device's virtual remote control.

Exemplarily, when the user wants to share the virtual remote control of the B air conditioner with the receiving device, the operation shown in (a) in FIG. In the name display area, in response to the user's long press operation, the mobile phone can automatically pop up an operation window 502-1, displaying an interface 502 as shown in (b) in FIG. 5 . In the operation window 502-1 of the interface 502, for the virtual remote controller of the B air conditioner, a variety of executable operation options are provided for the user, for example, several possible operation options listed below:

(1) The "Delete" option can be used to delete the virtual remote control and related data of the B air conditioner that have been added in the smart remote control application. If the user clicks the delete option, the added virtual remote of the B air conditioner will be deleted in the smart remote control application, and the icon of the B air conditioner and the name of the B air conditioner will no longer be displayed on the main interface 501 of the smart remote control application.

(2) The "Rename" option can be used to modify the name of the virtual remote control of the B air conditioner. For example, the user can modify the name "B air conditioner" under the air conditioner icon on the main interface 501 of the smart remote application to "living room air conditioner", "bedroom air conditioner" etc. according to the location of the B air conditioner in the home scene.

(3) The "Top" option can be used to adjust the display position of the virtual remote control of the B air conditioner. If the user clicks on the top option, on the main interface 501 of the smart remote control application, the positions of "virtual remote control of air conditioner B" and "virtual remote control of TV A" can be exchanged, that is, the icon and name of air conditioner B will be displayed on top The first position in the list of remotes.

(4) The "Share" option can trigger the sharing process of the virtual remote control of the B air conditioner. Exemplarily, when the user performs the operation shown in (b) in Figure 5 and clicks on the "Share" option, in response to the user's operation, the mobile phone is triggered to enter the sharing process of the virtual remote control of the B air conditioner, and the mobile phone can display the following: The details interface 503 of the virtual remote controller shown in (c) figure in Fig. 5, this interface 503 can display all interface content of the details interface of the virtual remote controller of B air conditioner, for example, this interface 503 can include the operating parameters of B air conditioner The display area 503-1 and the control area 503-2 of the air conditioner B are displayed, and all operable controls included in the virtual remote control of the air conditioner B on the interface 503 are selectable.

In a possible implementation, the user can manually select all or some of the operable controls included in the virtual remote control of the air conditioner B as the "target controls" to be shared on the interface 503 according to the current usage requirements.

Optionally, when the user executes the operation shown in Figure 5 (b) and clicks on the "Share" option to trigger the mobile phone to display the interface 503, the control area 503-2 shown in the dotted line box on the interface 503 The icon of each control in , can correspond to a selection box, and the selection box of each control is presented as "unselected state", that is, the selection box is presented as a blank state. The user can click the selection boxes corresponding to some controls according to the current needs, and determine the control selected by the user as the "target control". It should be understood that the "target control" selected by the user is all controls included in the "virtual remote control to be shared", and other controls not selected by the user are not included in the "virtual remote control to be shared".

Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 5 (c), assuming that the user clicks and selects the selection box of the heating control 21 and the selection box of the cooling control 23, the smart remote control application of the mobile phone can set the heating control 21 and the cooling control 23 is determined as the "target control", that is, the temperature-increasing control 21 and the cooling control 23 will be included as the content of the "virtual remote control to be shared", and other controls such as switch control 22 are not included in the "virtual remote control to be shared". content.

In yet another possible implementation, for different types of devices, the target control to be shared corresponding to the virtual remote controller of each type of device may be all controls included in the details interface of the virtual remote controller of the target device Some fixed controls by default. For example, if the virtual remote control of the device is triggered to be shared, all controls included in the details interface of the virtual remote control of the device may be displayed as selected by default, that is, all controls may be used as target controls.

Exemplarily, when the user performs the operation shown in (b) in Figure 5 and clicks on the "Share" option, the process of sharing the virtual remote control of the B air conditioner is triggered, and the mobile phone can display (c) in Figure 5 ) shown in the interface 503, the icon of each control in the control area 503-2 shown by the dotted line box on the interface 503 can correspond to a selection box, and the selection box of each control is presented as "selected state" , that is, the selection box is filled with black and includes the check symbol "∨". This scenario can be understood as: when sharing the virtual remote control of air conditioner B, all the controls included in the details interface of the virtual remote control of air conditioner B are taken as the "target controls" to be shared by default.

Optionally, according to the current needs, the user can click the selection box corresponding to some controls to cancel the sharing of this part of the controls, and determine the remaining controls that are still in the "selected state" without clicking the cancellation as "target controls".

Exemplarily, if the selection box of each control in the interface 503 is "selected", the user can click the selection box of the switch control 22, the selection box of the working mode control 24, the selection box of the wind speed control 25, and the wind direction control The selection box of 26 and the selection box of the sweeping control 27 are canceled, and the temperature increase control 21 and the cooling control 23 that are not clicked and canceled and still present as "selected state" are determined as "target controls".

Through the above method, according to the needs of other family members or visitors to use the remote control to control the device in different scenarios, the user can only share some of the controls included in the virtual remote control of the device with the receiving device, so that other family members or visitors can Control the device through some shared controls.

For example, parents generally limit the length of time children watch TV every day and the content of programs that children watch. Parents can hide the physical remote control of the TV, add a virtual remote control of the TV to the smart remote control application of the mobile phone, and control it within a fixed period of time every day. Turn on the TV for children, and only share the volume adjustment control of the virtual remote control of the TV with the children's electronic devices. Children can only adjust the volume of the TV, but cannot switch channels or change the content of the program played, thereby controlling children's use of the TV authority.

Optionally, the selection box corresponding to each control can be located in the lower right corner, lower left corner, upper right corner, upper left corner of the control icon, or located directly below the control icon, or located in the geometric center of the display area of the control icon and covering The control is located on the previous display layer of the control.

Exemplarily, as shown in (c) figure in FIG. The embodiment does not limit the display position of the selection box corresponding to each control.

Optionally, when the user selects the target control of the virtual remote control to be shared, the effective duration of the virtual remote control (or "target control") to be shared on the receiving device can also be set.

Exemplarily, on the interface 503 shown in (c) of FIG. 5, a timing control 503-3 may also be included. The user can set the effective duration of the virtual remote control of the B air conditioner to be shared on the receiving end device through the "timing control 503-3", that is, the effective duration of the warming control 21 and cooling control 23 available on the receiving end device.

Optionally, the initial value displayed by the "timing control 503-3" can be 00:00:00, and the user can manually modify it to the desired effective duration, for example, the user modifies the "timing control 503-3" to display 02 hours 00 minutes and 00 seconds. Alternatively, the user may not modify it, and maintain the "timer control 503-3" to always display the initial value of 00:00:00. When the user performs the operation shown in (c) in Figure 5 and clicks on the "Confirm" control, if the "timing control 503-3" displays 00:00:00, it can be understood as: there is no limit to the content to be shared. B The effective duration of the virtual remote control of the air conditioner available on the receiving device.

Specifically, the sending end device detects the click operation of the control by the head user, and determines the position coordinates of the control according to the click operation event. The smart remote control application can determine the control ID according to the position coordinates of the control, and then search the stored control data set shown in Table 2, and obtain the control code value of the control corresponding to the control ID.

It should be understood that the virtual remote controller can send an operation command to the target device through an infrared signal (pulse signal), and the infrared signal (pulse signal) can include a string of binary coded information, for example, at least including an 8-bit address code (user code) and 8 Bit command code (control code value), the binary coded information is the operation instruction to control the target device.

Therefore, the smart remote control application can generate an infrared signal (pulse signal) including a series of binary coded information after obtaining the "control code value" of a certain control in the virtual remote control.

1006. The smart remote control application invokes the infrared module of the sending device, and the infrared emitter of the infrared module sends a pulse signal to the target device through infrared rays.

1007. The infrared module (infrared receiver) of the target device receives the infrared rays, acquires the operation instruction in the pulse signal, and makes a response.

Through the above process, the head user adds the virtual remote control of the target device to the smart remote control application of the mobile phone 100 (transmitter device), and after the control learning, when the user clicks any control of the virtual remote control of the target device, it can be connected with Pressing the button of the physical remote controller corresponding to the control generates the same pulse signal, or in other words generates the same operation command, thereby realizing the same function. In other words, the virtual remote controller of the target device in the smart remote control application can have the same functions as the physical remote controller, and the user can control the target device through the virtual remote controller in the smart remote control application.

Exemplarily, the process of the second stage may correspond to: the head user follows the process shown in (a)-(e) in Figure 5, long presses the B air conditioner on the main interface of the smart remote control application of the mobile phone 100 The icon of the virtual remote control triggers the process of sharing the virtual remote control of the B air conditioner.

Or, as an example, the process of the second stage may correspond to: the head user follows the process shown in Figure 6 (a)-(e), on the detailed interface of the virtual remote control of the B air conditioner of the mobile phone 100 , press and hold a control and select some controls or all controls on the interface to trigger the process of sharing the virtual remote control of air conditioner B. Please refer to the previous description, and will not repeat it here.

1008, the household head user uses the smart remote control application on the sending end device to trigger the sharing process of the target remote control.

1009, the household head user manually selects one or more controls from all the controls included in the details interface of the virtual remote controller of the target device.

1010. The smart remote control application determines one or more controls manually selected by the user as target controls.

It should be understood that the target controls (one or more controls manually selected by the user) are all the controls included in the "virtual remote controller to be shared".

Specifically, in the process of sharing the target remote control, the method provided by the present application can support the user to manually select the target control to be shared in the remote control of the device on the sending end device. For example, the user can share only some of the controls included in the remote control of the device with the receiving device according to the usage requirements; correspondingly, when the remote control of the device is automatically added by the receiving device, only some controls of the remote control of the device are added.

Exemplarily, as shown in (c) in FIG. 5, when the user selects all the controls on the interface 407 of the "virtual remote control of B air conditioner" in the smart remote control application of the mobile phone, the selection box of each control is presented as "not Selected state", if the head user clicks to select the selection box of the temperature increase control 21, the mobile phone can obtain the virtual remote control ID corresponding to the temperature increase control 21 as 02 and the control ID as 001 according to the user's click operation; and further according to the virtual The remote control ID and the control ID are used to search and determine the control code value of the temperature increasing control 21 as 00110100 in the stored control data set of the virtual remote control of the air conditioner B.

In steps 1009-1010, it is introduced that the user can manually select one or more controls from all the controls included in the details interface of the virtual remote controller of the target device as the target control. Through the above implementation manner, the user can only open the control authority (operating authority) corresponding to some controls to the receiving terminal device. This method can limit the control rights of different people to the device, and avoid potential safety hazards caused by too many people having the right to operate a certain device.

In addition, in another possible implementation manner, the target control may be some fixed controls preset among all the controls included in the details interface of the virtual remote controller of the target device.

Exemplarily, as shown in (b) in FIG. 5 , when the user clicks on the "Share" option, the mobile phone may display an interface 503 as shown in (c) in FIG. 5 . Optionally, the temperature increasing control 21, the switch control 22, the cooling control 23, the working mode control 24, the wind speed control 25, the wind direction control 26, and the wind sweeping control 27 on the interface 503 are all selected, that is, the target device All the controls included in the details interface of the virtual remote control are the target controls to be shared by default.

The above implementation process does not require the user to perform additional operations, and the smart remote control application can generate remote control files to be shared in advance according to some preset fixed controls, which is easy to operate and can save time in the sharing process.

1011. In response to the user's selection operation, the smart remote control application acquires the information of the target control from the stored control data set of the virtual remote control of the target device, and generates a target remote control file to be shared according to the information of the target control .

It should be understood that the "target remote control file" includes the information of the target control.

Optionally, the information of the target control may include: some or all of the information in the virtual remote control ID, control ID, control symbol, control code value, control protocol, etc. corresponding to each control as the target control, as shown in Table 2 or Part or all of the content listed in Table 3 will not be repeated here.

Exemplarily, when the information of the target control includes all the information of the virtual remote control ID, control ID, control symbol, control code value, and control protocol corresponding to each control as the target control, the receiving end device receives the "target remote control File", which can generate and store the control data set corresponding to the remote control of the target device according to the information of the target control. If the guest user clicks any of the target controls on the receiving device, the receiving device can obtain the virtual remote control ID and control ID corresponding to the control clicked by the user according to the user's clicking operation; ID and control ID, search and determine the control code value of the control in the control data set corresponding to the remote control of the target device stored in itself; then further generate pulse signals according to the infrared remote control NEC protocol, and pass through the infrared transmitter of the receiving end device Send the pulse signal to the target device.

Or, for example, when the target control information only includes the virtual remote control ID and control ID corresponding to each control as the target control, after receiving the "target remote control file", the receiving device can information to determine the virtual remote control ID and control ID corresponding to each control of the target control in the remote control of the target device added on the receiving end device. If the guest user clicks any control in the target control on the receiving device, the receiving device can obtain the virtual remote control ID and control ID corresponding to the control clicked by the user according to the user's click operation; further, the receiving device The control symbol, control code value, and control protocol corresponding to the control can be automatically queried and obtained according to the virtual remote control ID and the control ID of the control. For example, the receiving end device can return the virtual remote control ID and control ID of the control to the sending end device, and the sending end device can find and determine the control code of the control according to the stored control data set corresponding to the remote control of the target device value; further return the control code value of the control to the receiving device; the receiving device can then generate a pulse signal according to the infrared remote control NEC protocol, and send the pulse signal to the target device through the infrared transmitter of the receiving device. Examples are not limited to this.

In a possible implementation manner, the "target remote control file" may also include information about the valid duration and/or valid range set by the user. Among them, the information of the effective duration and the information of the effective range can be identified by special fields. Exemplarily, on the interface 503 shown in (c) in FIG. 5 , the user sets the timing control 503-3 to display 02:00:00 seconds, that is, the guest user uses the virtual remote control of the target device on his mobile phone The valid duration is 2 hours.

Or, if the air conditioner B is currently in a non-running state (off state), the "operation parameter information of the target device" may include the previous user setting for the air conditioner B through the virtual remote control of the air conditioner B of the receiving end device, which is closest to the current one. The operating parameter information, such as the wind speed, wind direction, wind sweep, cooling mode, and target temperature previously set for the B air conditioner, is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In yet another possible implementation manner, the "target remote control file" may also carry the application identifier of the smart remote control application of the receiving end device, for example, the file suffix is .ykq. Taking B air conditioner as an example, the "target remote control file" can be automatically named "B air conditioner.ykq". The receiving end device can trigger the running of the smart remote control application at the end according to the file extension, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

The embodiment of the present application does not limit the way of sending the target remote control file.

1013. When the visitor device detects the target remote control file sent by the sending device, a prompt window may be displayed on the display screen of the visitor device for the user to choose whether to receive the target remote control file. When it is detected that the guest user performs an operation allowing reception, in response to the operation, the receiving end device receives the target remote control file sent by the sending end device.

1014. The smart remote control application acquires the content of the target remote control file, displays the target device remote control and the target control, and adds the target device remote control to the smart remote control application.

Specifically, when the receiving end device receives the target remote control file, it can trigger the running of the smart remote control application according to information such as the file type of the target remote control file or the application package name corresponding to the file, and the smart remote control application can obtain the Describe the content included in the target remote control file.

In another possible implementation, when the "target control information" in the "target remote control file" received by the receiving device includes partial information of each control as the target control, for example, only the virtual remote control corresponding to each control is included. Remote control ID and control ID, after receiving the "target remote control file", the receiving device can determine the corresponding The ID of the virtual remote control and the ID of the control. The receiving end device determines the virtual remote control ID and control ID of a control clicked by the user, and may return the virtual remote control ID and control ID of the control to the sending end device. Therefore, the process of "automatically searching" and "obtaining the control code value of the first control" of the receiving device may be: requesting the sending device to obtain the control code value of the first control, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
