This function is of great significance in energy consumption management and energy saving, and also helps to manage the overall system stability; batch timing setting: users can use control instructions to implement the timing setting of the start-up time and shutdown time of all devices in the current area or store. This function allows users to flexibly arrange the working time of the equipment, improve operational convenience and system management efficiency.

[0008] A method for remotely controlling a digital media player comprises the following steps:

[0009] A. The background sends control instructions to the remote server;

[0010] B. The remote server parses the command and sends it to the DMB device;

[0011] C. The DMB device returns a response after executing the control operation;

[0012] D. DMB equipment goes directly to the background without executing control operations;

[0013] E. Return the response, parse the response, and then enter the backend.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. Remote control function: remote control of multimedia devices is realized. Specific commands are sent through the application to realize functions such as restart, adjustment of volume, brightness and contrast parameters, power on, power off, sleep, date synchronization and batch operations. 2. Multi-platform support: suitable for multimedia devices with different operating systems, including Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS, which means that users can use a unified application on a variety of different platforms to perform remote control operations. 3. Security and permission control: focus on the security and permission management of user data, which may include encrypted communication to ensure the security of data transmission during remote control, and user permission management, allowing administrators to assign different levels of permissions to different users to limit their ability to operate the device.
