TV remote control method and apparatus

Abstract

The invention relates to a TV remote control method which includes the steps of receiving a remote control instruction sent by a remote controller, obtaining a remote control code, searching whether a coding type matching with the remote control code exists, if yes, parsing the user code in the remote control code according to the coding type, searching whether a stored user code matching with the parse user code exists, if yes, parsing the data code in the remote control code according to the coding type, obtaining a key value corresponding to the data code, and responding to the remote control instruction according to the key value. The method allows a TV to be compatible with remote controllers of different coding, thereby realizing control of the TV with a plurality of remote controllers. The invention also discloses a TV remote control apparatus.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of television control, in particular to a television remote control method and device. Background technique [0002] At present, TVs and set-top boxes have their own remote controls. Usually, these remote controls use different code types (there are dozens of common code types), and even if the same code type is used, manufacturers will use different user codes to communicate with Differentiate the remote controllers of other brands or the remote controllers of different models of our own to ensure the independence of the remote controllers. Therefore, in traditional use, the TV remote controller of the same coding type and the same user code must be used to control the corresponding TV. [0003] However, nowadays, home audio-visual equipment is becoming more and more diverse. When using LCD TVs, users often use set-top boxes. However, due to the difference in coding types and user codes, the TV remote cont...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, nowadays, home audio-visual equipment is becoming more and more diverse. When using LCD TVs, users often use set-top boxes. However, due to the difference in coding types and user codes, the TV remote control and the set-top box remote control cannot be used interchangeably. Use the remote control of the set-top box to operate the TV remotely, and the TV cannot respond to its operation

In this way, in the process of watching TV, the user not only needs to use the set-top box remote control to operate the set-top box, but also needs to use the TV remote control to operate the TV. The use of multiple remote controls makes the operation process very cumbersome
