[0012] The indicator light of the sound and light alarm module is controlled to be always on or flash for 3-5 seconds and / or the buzzer of the sound and light alarm module is controlled to sound for 3-5 seconds.

[0013] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a method for finding the remote control, which comprises:

[0014] S1, the remote control sends a star flash broadcast carrying the logo of the applicable electrical appliance through the second star flash module;

[0015] S2. After the appliance is powered on, the first Star Flash module scans the Star Flash broadcast, identifies the remote control compatible with the appliance according to the identification field in the Star Flash broadcast content, and initiates a Star Flash connection;

[0016] S3, the remote controller adapted to the electrical appliance establishes a star flash connection with the first star flash module in the electrical appliance through the second star flash module;

[0017] S4. The remote controller adapted to the appliance sends out an alarm through the alarm module to indicate the location of the remote controller.

[0018] Furthermore, in step S1, the remote controller sends a star flash broadcast carrying the identification of the applicable electrical appliance through the second star flash module at an interval of 5-30 seconds.

[0019] Furthermore, the alarm module is an audible and visual alarm module, including an indicator light and a buzzer.

[0020] Furthermore, in step S4, the issuing of an alarm through the alarm module includes:

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] Utilizing the fast connection and low power consumption functions of Star Flash technology, the designed remote control has a Star Flash module and an alarm module, and the electrical appliance also has a Star Flash module. The Star Flash module in the remote control intermittently sends Star Flash broadcasts carrying the logo of the adapted electrical appliance before establishing a connection. After the electrical appliance is powered on, it uses its own Star Flash module to scan the Star Flash broadcasts and identify the remote control. After identifying the matching remote control, a connection is established. After establishing a connection with the adapted electrical appliance, the Star Flash module in the remote control controls the alarm module to emit an audible and visual alarm, thereby facilitating the user to promptly identify the remote control corresponding to the electrical appliance and find the location of the remote control. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] Figure 1Schematic diagram of an application of a remote control for an electrical appliance based on Starflash in an embodiment of the present invention;

[0025] Figure 2 The figure is a flow chart of a remote control search method in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The present invention aims to provide an electrical appliance remote control based on Star Flash and a method for finding the same, so as to facilitate rapid identification and finding of the remote control corresponding to the electrical appliance. The core idea is that both the electrical appliance and the corresponding remote control are provided with a Star Flash module, and the remote control is provided with an audio-visual alarm module. The Star Flash module of the remote control intermittently sends a Star Flash broadcast before establishing a connection. The Star Flash broadcast carries an identification field, and the identification field is used to identify the electrical appliance to which the remote control is applicable. After the electrical appliance is powered on (powered on and started), the Star Flash module of the appliance automatically scans and receives the Star Flash broadcast. The remote control is identified according to the identification field in the Star Flash broadcast content and a Star Flash connection is initiated. After the Star Flash module of the remote control is successfully connected, the indicator light of the audio-visual alarm module is controlled to light up or flash and emit a buzzer. This facilitates the user to identify and find the remote control according to the indicator light and buzzer on the remote control.

[0027] Example

[0028] The electric appliance remote controller based on Star Flash provided in this embodiment is shown in FIG. Figure 1 , which includes a second star flash module and an alarm module; the electrical appliance is also provided with a first star flash module;

[0029] The second star flash module is used to send a star flash broadcast carrying the identification of the applicable electrical appliance, and after being received and identified by the first star flash module in the electrical appliance, establish a star flash connection with the first star flash module in the electrical appliance, and then control the alarm module to issue an alarm to indicate the location of the remote control;

[0030] The first Star Flash module is used to scan the Star Flash broadcast after the appliance is powered on, identify the remote control adapted to the appliance according to the identifier carried by the Star Flash broadcast, and send a request to establish a connection to the second Star Flash module in the remote control.

[0031] Based on the above remote control, the remote control search method provided in this embodiment can be found in Figure 2 , which comprises the following steps:

[0032] S1. The remote controller sends a star broadcast:

[0033] In this step, the remote control intermittently sends a Star Flash broadcast carrying the logo of the applicable electrical appliance through the second Star Flash module; considering energy consumption and recognition timeliness, the preferred sending interval is 5-30 seconds, that is, the remote control sends a Star Flash broadcast every 5-30 seconds, and the period of sending the Star Flash broadcast is to continue broadcasting before the connection is established.

[0034] S2. The appliance scans the Star Flash broadcast, identifies the compatible remote control and initiates a Star Flash connection:

[0035] In this step, after the appliance is powered on, the Starflash broadcast is scanned by the first Starflash module, and the remote control compatible with the appliance is identified according to the identification field in the Starflash broadcast content. That is, if the identification in the Starflash broadcast is the appliance's own identification, it means that the remote control sending the Starflash broadcast is the remote control compatible with the appliance, and a Starflash connection request is initiated to the remote control.

[0036] S3. The remote controller establishes a star flash connection with the compatible electrical appliance:

[0037] In this step, after the remote control adapted to the appliance receives the Star Flash connection request sent by the appliance, a Star Flash connection is established with the first Star Flash module in the appliance through the second Star Flash module.

[0038] S4. The remote controller emits an audible and visual alarm prompt:

[0039] In this step, after the remote control establishes a star flash connection with the adapted appliance, it means that the remote control and the appliance are successfully adapted. The second star flash module in the remote control sends an alarm prompt by controlling the sound and light alarm module, such as controlling the indicator light of the sound and light alarm module to be always on or flash for 3-5 seconds and / or controlling the buzzer of the sound and light alarm module to sound for 3-5 seconds, so that the user can easily distinguish which remote control corresponds to the appliance and quickly confirm the location of the remote control.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only preferred implementations and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention and the scope of protection of the claims, and all of these should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
