Problems solved by technology

However, after a long time of use, the keys often appear insensitive to contact and so on.
At the same time, the markings on the buttons will gradually be worn and become unclear, which will bring a lot of inconvenience to users with poor eyesight, especially the elderly, thus affecting the use of the remote control.
Moreover, the existing remote controllers for home appliances all perform human-computer interaction through buttons and exit interfaces, and do not use sound for human-computer interaction.

Abstract

The invention discloses a voice-activated remote controller for a household appliance and a control method thereof. The voice-activated remote controller comprises a display screen, keys, an infrared emission unit and a master control chip, wherein the display screen, the keys and the infrared emission unit are connected with the master control chip respectively; the voice-activated remote controller further comprises a voice module and a remote control module, the voice module comprises a voice pickup unit, a voice processing chip, a storage unit and a voice generation component, the remote control module is formed by connecting the master control chip with a radiofrequency emission unit, or formed by connecting the master control chip with the infrared emission unit, or formed by connecting the master control chip with the radiofrequency emission unit and the infrared emission unit; the voice processing chip and the master control chip are connected via a communication interface; and the voice pickup unit is connected with the voice processing chip via an amplification circuit, the storage unit is connected with the voice processing chip via a read-write port, and the voice processing chip is connected with the voice generation component via a power amplification unit. The voice-activated remote controller is convenient, durable, and capable of firstly analysing the voice command of a user into a control command which can be recognized by the household appliance in a voice recognition manner.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of remote control of household appliances, in particular to the technical field of voice recognition remote control of household appliances. Background technique [0002] The remote control is a device used to remotely control machinery, mainly composed of integrated circuit boards and buttons used to generate different information. The currently used remote controllers for home appliances mainly input information through buttons, and control the home appliances through the infrared remote control in the integrated circuit board. However, after a long period of use, the keys often appear insensitive to contact. Simultaneously, the sign writing on the button will also be gradually worn and displayed unclearly, which brings a lot of inconvenience to users with poor eyesight, especially the elderly, thereby affecting the use of the remote controller. Moreover, the existing remote controllers for home applianc...
