[0027] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clearly understood, the present disclosure is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure should have the usual meanings understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present disclosure belongs. The "first", "second" and similar words used in the embodiments of the present disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components.

When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative position relationship may also change accordingly.

[0029] In order to solve the problem that it is difficult to achieve remote control of the device in standby mode, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a computer device, including: a network connection module, configured to: achieve communication connection with a server; a first control unit, electrically coupled to the network connection module, and configured to: in response to the computer device entering the standby mode, control the network connection module to establish a connection with the server; and, in response to receiving a remote control instruction sent by the server, start the second control unit of the computer device and send the remote control instruction to the second control unit; and a second control unit, electrically coupled to the first control unit, and configured to: start and receive the remote control instruction under the control of the first control unit; and execute the operation corresponding to the remote control instruction; wherein the power consumption of the first control unit is lower than the power consumption of the second control unit.

[0030] The computer device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with two control units, wherein the first control unit with lower power consumption controls the network connection module to establish a connection with the server in standby mode to receive remote control instructions. After receiving the remote control instructions sent by the server, the first control unit controls the second control unit to turn on and execute the operation corresponding to the remote control instructions, so that the computer device can both be in standby mode and respond to remote control instructions while maintaining low power consumption.

[0031] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an exemplary remote control system 100 provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the remote control system 100 may include a server 200, computer devices 300a-300n, and terminal devices 400a and 400b. In some embodiments, the system 100 may be an Internet of Things system, and the devices 300a-300n may be Internet of Things terminal devices. In some embodiments, the server 200 may be implemented using one or more servers. When multiple servers are used, a distributed architecture may be employed.

[0033] The terminal device can be any device with processing capabilities, and can send the remote control instruction 402 to the server 200 via a wired or wireless network. Figure 1 As shown, the terminal device 400a can be a mobile terminal (e.g., a mobile phone), and the terminal device 400b can be a non-mobile terminal (e.g., a personal computer). After receiving the remote control instruction 402 for a certain device (e.g., device 300a) issued by the terminal device, the server 200 can first save the instruction 402 locally on the server, and then send the remote control instruction 402 to the device 300a after the server 200 establishes a connection with the device 300a. It is understandable that in order to distinguish the operation object of the remote control instruction 402, the instruction 402 can include identification information of the corresponding device (e.g., device ID) to enable the server 200 to confirm the specific receiving object of the instruction 402.

[0034] Computer devices 300a-300n can be any device with processing capabilities and can be remotely controlled. For example, in a school setting, computer devices 300a-300n can be smart tablets installed in a classroom (e.g., computer device 300a), projection devices deployed in a classroom (e.g., computer device 300b), or computers placed in a classroom (e.g., computer device 300n). For another example, in an enterprise setting, computer devices 300a-300n can be smart tablets installed in a conference room (e.g., computer device 300a), projection devices deployed in a conference room (e.g., computer device 300b), or computers placed in an office (e.g., computer device 300n).

[0035] Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of an exemplary device 300a provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the computer device 300 a may include a network connection module 302 , a first control unit 304 , and a second control unit 306 .

[0037] The network connection module 302 can be electrically coupled to the first control unit 304 and the second control unit 306, respectively, to transmit the remote control instruction 402 to the first control unit 304 or the second control unit 306. In this way, the first control unit 304 and the second control unit 306 can share the network connection module 302, which can improve the compactness of the internal layout of the device 300a. The first control unit 304 and the second control unit 306 can be electrically coupled and can communicate with each other.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the device 300a may further include a power module 314 electrically coupled to the first control unit 304 and the second control unit 306 respectively, for supplying power to the first control unit 304 and the second control unit 306 .

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the device 300a may further include a switching circuit 308 electrically coupled to the network connection module 302 , the first control unit 304 and the second control unit 306 , respectively, for switching the electrical coupling between the network connection module 302 and the first control unit 304 or the second control unit 306 .

[0040] In some embodiments, as Figure 2As shown, device 300a may further include a command receiving unit 310 for receiving external commands and a storage unit 312 for storing commands. For example, command receiving unit 310 may be an infrared signal receiver provided on device 300a, which may be used to receive device control commands issued by a remote control for device 300a. In another example, command receiving unit 310 may be a button on device 300a, which, when pressed by a user, issues a corresponding device control command to device 300a. It is understood that device control commands are distinguishable from the aforementioned remote control commands 402; in contrast, device control commands are short-range control commands.

[0041] The network connection module 302 can be used to realize the communication connection between the computer device 300a and the server 200 to realize information exchange between the two. For example, the network connection module 302 can be a WIFI module for communicating with the server 200 in a wireless manner.

[0042] The computer device 300a can be in two states: a standby state and a powered-on state. When the device 300a is in the standby state, the switching circuit 308 can be used to connect the first control unit 304 and the network connection module 302 to achieve electrical coupling between the first control unit 304 and the network connection module 302. When the device 300a enters the powered-on state, the switching circuit 308 can be used to connect the second control unit 306 and the network connection module 302 to achieve electrical coupling between the second control unit 306 and the network connection module 302. In some embodiments, when the device 300a enters the standby state, the first control unit 304 is electrically coupled to the network connection module 302 via the switching circuit 308; when the device 300a enters the powered-on state, the first control unit 304 controls the switching circuit to achieve electrical coupling between the second control unit 306 and the network connection module 302. For example, under normal circumstances (for example, standby state), the first control unit 304 is connected to the switching circuit 308 for a long time so that the first control unit 304 is connected to the network connection module 302; when the second control unit 306 is started, the first control unit 304 sends a switching instruction to the switching circuit 308 so that the switching circuit 308 connects the second control unit 306 and the network connection module 302.

[0043] In some embodiments, determining whether the device 300a enters the standby state can be determined based on whether a standby instruction (or shutdown instruction) is received. For example, when the device 300a is in the on state, the second control unit 306 is the main controller of the device 300a. When receiving a standby instruction (or shutdown instruction) issued by a remote control or a shutdown button on the device 300a or remotely sent by the server 200, the second control unit 306 will respond to the standby instruction (or shutdown instruction) and then send an entry into standby state instruction to the first control unit 304. The first control unit 304 can send a second control unit power off instruction to the power module 314 based on the entry into standby state instruction. The power module 314 can stop supplying power to the second control unit 306 based on the second control unit power off instruction, thereby cutting off the power supply to the second control unit 306, thereby causing the device 300a to enter the standby state.

[0044] When the device 300a enters the standby state, the second control unit 306 can be in the off state and the first control unit 304 can be in the running state. The first control unit 304 can be used to establish a connection with the server 200 through the network connection module 302 when the device 300a is in the standby state to receive remote control instructions 402 for the device 300a from the server 200. In some embodiments, the first control unit 304 can control the network connection module 302 to establish a connection with the server 200 based on a heartbeat mechanism. For example, the first control unit 304 can control the network connection module 302 to send a heartbeat packet to the server 200 at a preset frequency (e.g., once every ten minutes) to establish a connection with the server 200, and receive instructions sent by the server 200 within a preset time period after the connection is established. After receiving the instructions, the first control unit 304 disconnects from the server 200. This intermittent connection method avoids long-term communication connection between the device 300a and the server 200, which can further reduce the power consumption of the device 300a.

[0045] If the device 300a receives a remote control instruction 402 sent by the server 200 after establishing a connection with the server 200, the first control unit 304 may activate the second control unit 306 and send the remote control instruction 402 to the second control unit 306. The second control unit 306 may then be activated under the control of the first control unit 304. In some embodiments, upon receiving the remote control instruction 402 sent by the server 200, the first control unit 304 may send a second control unit power-on instruction to the power module 314; the power module 314 may restore power to the second control unit 306 based on the second control unit power-on instruction, and the second control unit 306 may then complete startup under the power of the power module 314.

[0046] The second control unit 306 may be the core system of the device 300a, which may maintain the normal operation of the device 300a and maintain a long connection with the server 200. After startup, the second control unit 306 may receive the remote control instruction 402 from the first control unit 304, and then execute the operation corresponding to the remote control instruction 402 (for example, completing the power-on action of the device 300a so that the device 300a enters a normal working state). In some embodiments, when the second control unit 306 is turned on, the first control unit 304 may enter a deep energy-saving mode (retaining only the communication function with the second control unit 306).

[0047] The power consumption of the first control unit 304 is lower than that of the second control unit 306. Thus, when the device 300a is in standby mode, the first control unit 304 with lower power consumption is used to control the network connection module 302 to establish a connection with the server 200. This allows the device 300a to meet the low power consumption requirement of the standby mode while also being able to respond to remote control commands in the standby mode, thereby improving device control efficiency.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first control unit 304 may include a single-chip microcomputer, and the single-chip microcomputer is mainly used to control the network connection module 302 and send startup instructions and remote control instructions to the second control unit 306. Since the single-chip microcomputer can operate in a relatively low power consumption state, when the device 300a is in the standby state, the single-chip microcomputer is used to control the network connection module 302 and receive the remote control instructions 402, which can minimize the power consumption of the device 300a. It is understandable that in addition to including the single-chip microcomputer, the first control unit 304 may also include peripheral circuits that cooperate with the single-chip microcomputer to form a single-chip microcomputer system. In some embodiments, the single-chip microcomputer system has low power consumption and can generally be an embedded operating system, such as a customized Linux kernel, a single-chip microcomputer system, etc. The single-chip microcomputer system can remain running in the device standby mode.

[0049] In some embodiments, the second control unit 306 may include a central processing unit (CPU) or a microprocessor (MCU). In this way, when the second control unit 306 is started, it can correspondingly complete the processing of some complex instructions. It is understood that in addition to including a central processing unit (CPU) or a microprocessor (MCU), the second control unit 306 may also include peripheral circuits that cooperate with the central processing unit (CPU) or the microprocessor (MCU), so that the second control unit 306 can form a processor system.

[0050] In some embodiments, if the second control unit 306 completes the corresponding operation of the remote control instruction, it can feedback the operation execution result of the device control instruction 402 to the server 200 through the network connection module 302. After receiving the operation execution result, the server 200 can also feedback the operation execution result to the terminal device (for example, terminal device 400a) to which the remote control instruction 402 was sent, so that the person operating the terminal device can know whether the remote control instruction has been executed.

[0051] In some embodiments, the instruction receiving unit 310 of the device 300a can receive a device control instruction for the device 300a. The device control instruction can be a control instruction that is different from the aforementioned remote control instruction 402. Relatively speaking, the device control instruction is a short-range control instruction. For example, a device control instruction issued by a remote control of the device 300a or a device control instruction issued by a physical button (including a touch button) set on the device 300a. If the device 300a is currently in standby mode, the first control unit 304 can send the device control instruction to the storage unit 312 for storage. Afterwards, if the second control unit 306 is started, the first control unit 304 can read the device control instruction from the storage unit 312 and send it to the second control unit 306, so that the second control unit 306 performs the operation corresponding to the device control instruction. In this way, for device control instructions that the first control unit 304 cannot process in the standby state, the first control unit 304 can first store them in the storage unit 312. After the second control unit 306 resumes work, the device control instructions can be sent to the second control unit 306 for processing, thereby avoiding the problem of device control instructions being lost because they cannot be processed in the standby state.

[0052] It is understandable that in some embodiments, when the device 300a is in the power-on state, the second control unit 306 can control the network connection module 302 to establish a stable connection with the server 200 and can receive and execute new remote control instructions from the server 200 at any time.

[0053] The remote control system 100 provided in the disclosed embodiment utilizes a server 200 to send remote control command requests. The first control unit of the device intermittently accesses the server and obtains remote control commands. After activating the second control unit, it responds to the remote control request and performs corresponding control on the smart device. This system 100 enables remote control of smart devices from any terminal device on the network, improving device control efficiency, particularly for controlling a large number of devices (e.g., devices 300a-n).

[0054] The devices 300a to 300n provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can also respond to remote control when the device is in standby mode, and only the first control unit 304 is turned on in standby mode, which has low power consumption. In some embodiments, when the device is in standby mode, the first control unit 304 can receive a power-on instruction and can drive the network connection module 302 to connect to the server 200 according to a preset cycle to ensure low standby power consumption. The devices 300a to 300n provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be related to the Internet of Things, for example, in devices such as smart large screens and interactive whiteboards.

[0055] The remote control system 100 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can reduce the complexity of controlling a large number of smart devices, while reducing the standby power consumption of the devices and improving the operating efficiency of the devices.

[0056] For example, in a school scenario, electronic education administrators can conveniently use terminal devices to remotely turn on or off the smart tablets in each classroom at fixed times, without having to operate each smart tablet in each classroom, greatly improving the efficiency of power on and off.

[0057] For example, in an enterprise scenario, device administrators can conveniently use terminal devices to remotely shut down unused smart tablets in conference rooms, greatly improving the efficiency of powering on and off. In addition to achieving the purpose of energy saving, it can also effectively extend the service life of the equipment.

[0058] The structures of the devices 300a-300n in the aforementioned embodiments can be widely applied to various smart devices, such as currently mainstream smart devices with computer operating systems or mobile terminal operating systems. As long as these smart devices are connected to the Internet, they can be remotely controlled through cloud servers.

[0059] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a remote control method for a computer device to solve the problem that a computer device in a standby state cannot receive remote control instructions.

[0062] In step 504, in response to receiving the remote control instruction (eg, Figure 1 402), the device 300a may use the first control unit to start the second control unit (eg, Figure 2 The remote control unit 306) sends the remote control instruction to the second control unit.

[0063] In step 506, the device 300a may utilize the second control unit to execute the operation corresponding to the remote control instruction.

[0064] The power consumption of the first control unit is lower than the power consumption of the second control unit.
