Remote control adaptor and adaption method

Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, and discloses a remote control adaptor and an adaption method. The remote control adaptor comprises a wireless receiving unit, an infrared driving unit, and an infrared LED; wherein a wireless link is established between the wireless receiving unit and a mobile terminal, and the wireless receiving unit receives wireless remote control signals of the mobile terminal; the infrared driving unit is coupled with the wireless receiving unit and the infrared LED, and converts the received wireless remote control signals into excitation signals for the infrared LED; the infrared LED sends out infrared remote control signals for home appliances according to the excitation signals. The remote control adaptor is capable of converting the wireless remote control signals sent out by the mobile terminal into infrared remote control signals, so that the mobile terminal is allowed to achieve remote control operation for conventional home appliances.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to a remote control adapter and an adaptation method. Background technique [0002] The remote control devices of traditional household appliances all use infrared (IR, Infra-red) signals, but with the popularization of various more advanced wireless communication methods, new smart home appliances (such as smart TV SmartTV) have added many new wireless Interface features, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC (Near Field Communication, near field communication) and so on. This makes smart home appliances no longer limited to special remote controls, but can receive signals from other smart terminals through various wireless interfaces, realizing the diversification and convenience of remote control methods, and even richer data interaction. For example, the NFC interface is currently mainly used to pair smart TVs with mobile devices (mobile phones, tablet computers, etc.), s...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, for traditional home appliances, since they only have IR interfaces, they can only accept IR remote control signals. To interact with smart terminals, the only way to interact with smart terminals is to integrate IR modules in smart terminals, or to replace home appliances.

Under normal circumstances, the update frequency of smart terminals is faster, and IR communication is a relatively outdated communication method that has been basically eliminated by existing smart terminals. It is obviously unreasonable to add IR modules only for remote control functions; in addition, the life of home appliances is usually longer , It is obviously a waste to replace the whole just to adapt to the new remote control method

In this case, it is difficult for traditional home appliances to be compatible with the wireless communication methods of smart terminals
