Electric appliance control apparatus and method implemented by set-top box

Abstract

The invention discloses an electric appliance control device which realized by set-top box (STB) and contains STB, conformity each kind of remote control, solved the remote control flooding question. Its technical plan is: This equipment includes: STB remote control, is equipped with function control key; The infrared instruction receive module, receives infrared signal sends out from function control key; The codebook stocking memory module, memory codebook storehouse contains many codebooks sequence, the each address code of codebooks sequence corresponds an electric appliance and also saves the function key value of the electric appliance; Study territory module, connection infrared instruction receive module and codebook storehouse memory module, which is equipped with several functions controlled area, the memory content is the function key value of one codebook sequence which derives from the codebook storehouse memory module, the function controlled area is infrared signal activation of the function control key which transmits by the infrared instruction receive module; the infrared instruction transmission module, will sends the function key value of the activated function controlled area to launch to the electric appliance. This invention applies to STB domain.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a control device and method for household appliances, in particular to a device and method for uniformly controlling all household appliances through a set-top box. Background technique [0002] At present, the control of household appliances is realized by using their own remote controllers, that is, the TV is controlled by the TV remote controller, and the air conditioner is controlled by the air conditioner remote controller. The realization principle of the remote control to control electrical appliances is: each button of the remote control has a key value. When a button is pressed, the key value of the button will be transmitted to the corresponding electrical appliance. Complete the corresponding operation, so as to realize the control of the electrical appliances by the remote control. But also there is not a kind of method and device for realizing remote control all electric appliances in a unified manner at p...
