AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The infrared device integrated in the TV remote control has a small RAM, which makes it unable to effectively control the set-top box, resulting in cumbersome operation.

Method used

The system receives and compresses the infrared code from the set-top box via the TV remote control, converts it into an infrared control signal, and sends it to the set-top box to control it.

Benefits of technology

It simplifies the operation of TVs and set-top boxes, allowing both to be controlled simultaneously with a single remote control, thus solving the RAM limitation problem.

Abstract

A device control method, a device, and a remote controller, relating to the technical field of terminals. The problem that set-top box control cannot be achieved due to small RAM of an infrared component integrated in a remote controller can be solved. The method comprises: in response to a first operation for selecting a first channel, a remote controller sends a first control instruction to a television set; then, the remote controller receives a first infrared code from the television set, the first infrared code being obtained by compressing a second infrared code, the second infrared code being an infrared code used by a set-top box, and the second infrared code corresponding to the first control instruction; finally, the remote controller sends a first infrared control signal corresponding to the first infrared code to the set-top box, the first infrared control signal being used for controlling the set-top box to transmit video data of the first channel to the television set.
