Embodiment 1

[0064] Please refer to the attached figure 1 , is a flowchart of a method for controlling an electronic device disclosed in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The method specifically includes:

[0065]Step 101: Automatically identify the user's identity information after the user who is currently using the electronic device is detected by the identity recognition unit.

[0066] The identity recognition unit may include a camera or an infrared sensing device, and when the user uses the electronic device in front of the electronic device, it can sense the existence of the user, and then activate the identity recognition function.

[0067] The identity recognition unit is set on the electronic device. The electronic device mentioned here can be electronic products such as TV, computer or mobile phone. Identification to determine the identity of the user currently using the electronic device.

[0068] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the identification unit can ...

Embodiment 2

[0080] Please refer to the attached figure 2 , is a flowchart of a method for controlling the working time of an electronic device disclosed in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The method for controlling the working hours of the electronic equipment specifically includes:

[0081] Step 201: When the electronic device is turned on, start counting to obtain the actual working time.

[0082] When the user starts to activate the electronic device, the electronic device can be clocked by the timing device provided on it to obtain and record the duration of the user's use of the electronic device, and the duration is the current actual working time of the electronic device.

[0083] Step 202: When the actual working time is equal to the preset time in the control mode, turn off the electronic device.

[0084] For users with different identity information, the specified time corresponding to their use of the electronic device can be preset. The specified time is the preset ...

Embodiment 3

[0089] Please refer to the attached image 3 , is a flow chart of a method for controlling sources of programs playable by an electronic device disclosed in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The method specifically includes:

[0090] Step 301: Receive program source selection information input by a user.

[0091] When the electronic device is started, there is a program source currently being played. However, different users have different preferences. If the user currently using the electronic device does not like the source of the program currently being played, the user will choose another source of the program. At this point, the electronic device can receive program source selection information input by the user.

[0092] Step 302: Determine whether the program source selected by the program source selection information matches the program source allowed in the control mode. If they match, go to step 303; if not, go to step 304.

[0093] For different users, the...

Abstract

The invention discloses an electronic device and a control method thereof. The control method comprises identifying the identity information of a user automatically after the current user utilizing the electronic device is detected through an identity identification unit arranged in the electronic unit; searching a preset control mode of the electronic device according to the identified identity information of the user, wherein the preset control mode is matched with the identity information; controlling the using state of the electronic device according to the control mode obtained through search. According to the control method of the electronic device, the identity of the user utilizing the electronic device can be identified, the using mode and the using time of the electronic device by the user can be controlled according to the user identity, and accordingly too much time and energy spent on the electronic device of the user can be avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of sensor control, in particular to a method for controlling electronic equipment and the electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] Today's electronic devices have more and more functions. Users spend more and more time and energy on electronic devices. Some users spend too much time and energy on electronic devices, which even affects their own work and study. [0003] In order to avoid the occurrence of the above situation, there is a control method for electronic equipment in the prior art, which mainly encrypts the operation of the electronic equipment by means of a password lock. For example, if a password is set for a certain channel of the TV, if the user wants to watch this channel, he needs to input the corresponding password. [0004] However, the electronic device control method in the prior art cannot restrict a specific user once the password is leaked. Contents of the invention [0005] T...
