[0020] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a method for customizing remote control of household appliances provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The method shown is run on an Android system, and its execution subject can be a household appliance custom remote control system. The household appliance custom remote control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention is executed by a computer device equipped with an Android system, and accordingly, the household appliance custom remote control system runs in a computer device equipped with an Android system. According to different requirements, the order of the steps in the flowchart can be changed, and some can be omitted.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0024] S1, obtain the device information configured by the user.

[0025] S2, matching the target communication protocol and the target interface adapter from the pre-configured protocol interface library according to the device information, and storing the device information, the target communication protocol, and the target interface adapter locally.

[0026] S3, sending a communication test instruction to the target device based on the target communication protocol and the target interface adapter.

[0027] S4, in response to the communication test pass information, providing the user with a remote control function configuration interface, and adjusting the remote control function interface of the target device according to the user's configuration operation.

[0028] S5, receiving the remote control parameters input by the user, and sending the remote control parameters to the target device through the target communication protocol and the target interface adapter.

[0029] The household appliance custom remote control method of this embodiment pre-configures a protocol interface library, stores the communication protocols and interface adapters of various devices in the library, and automatically matches the communication protocols and interface adapters of different household appliances after the user configures the device information, thereby achieving compatibility with various household appliances. After matching the target device, an intuitive remote control function configuration interface is provided to the user, allowing the user to customize the settings according to their own usage habits and needs, thereby improving the user's convenience.

[0030] In this embodiment, the user selects the target device to be added on the interactive interface to configure the device information, and the background obtains the device information configured by the user according to the user operation, which specifically includes the following steps.

[0031] Step 1: Get the device adding request through the device adding interface.

[0032] Step 2: respond to the device adding request and display the device type list on the interactive interface.

[0033] Step 3: Display a list of selectable device brands and models on the interactive interface based on the device type selected by the user.

[0034] Step 4: The user selects the device brand and model and fills in the device unique identifier.

[0035] For example, a device adding button is displayed on the interactive interface. The user clicks the device adding button to send a device adding request. The background responds to the device adding request and displays a device type list on the interactive interface. The device type list contains several selectable device types, such as air conditioner remote control, TV remote control, projector remote control, smart curtain remote control, etc. The user selects the corresponding device type in the device type list as needed. The background displays a device brand and model list based on the selected device type. The list contains all supported selectable device brands and models. If the air conditioner remote control is selected, all supported air conditioner brands and models are displayed. After that, the user selects the corresponding brand and model, and fills in the device unique identifier (such as MAC address, serial number, etc.). The device unique identifier allows the user to communicate with the device.

[0036] In this embodiment, after the user configures the device, the background obtains the device information such as the device brand, model and device unique identifier, and matches the target communication protocol and target interface adapter from the protocol interface library based on this device information. It should be noted that the protocol interface library stores communication protocols and interface adapters for various devices, including infrared protocol, Bluetooth protocol, Wi-Fi protocol and communication protocols dedicated to some home appliances, etc., to achieve compatibility of different devices. In this embodiment, the device information, target communication protocol and target interface adapter are stored locally, and the information is subsequently obtained from the memory for device remote control.

[0037] After configuring the target communication protocol and the target interface adapter, this embodiment performs a communication test on the target device to ensure that the remote control terminal can communicate normally with the target device. Sending a communication test instruction to the target device based on the target communication protocol and the target interface adapter specifically includes the following steps.

[0038] Step 1: Display the test button on the interactive interface.

[0039] Step 2, responding to the click request of the test button, calling the pre-stored test parameters.

[0040] Step 3: convert the test parameters into communication test instructions in a target format according to the target communication protocol.

[0041] Step 4: Transmit the communication test instruction to the target device via the target interface adapter.

[0042] Step 5: Receive the test feedback result of the target device and parse the feedback result through the target communication protocol.

[0043] Step 6: Check whether the parsing result meets expectations. If yes, the communication test passes, otherwise it fails.

[0044] The user clicks the test button to send a click request to the background, and the background responds to the click request to call the communication test program to perform a communication test. First, call the pre-stored test parameters. For example, different types of devices are configured with different test parameters. Then call the target communication protocol from the local, convert the test parameters into the communication test instructions in the format required by the target communication protocol, and then send them to the target device through the interface adapter. Receive and parse the test feedback results. If they meet the requirements, the communication test passes, and the remote control terminal and the target device can communicate normally. If the test fails, you can add the device again.

[0045] In this embodiment, after the communication test is passed, a remote control function configuration interface is provided to the user, in which the configurable function modules of the target device can be displayed, and then the remote control function interface of the target device is adjusted according to the configuration operation of the user. In this embodiment, the remote control function interface of the target device is adjusted according to the configuration operation of the user, and specifically includes the following steps.

[0046] Step 1: respond to a long press and drag operation on a function module, and move the function module within the remote control function interface.

[0047] Step 2: respond to a long press and drag operation on a functional unit in the functional module, and move the functional unit within the functional module.

[0048] For example, the function configuration of the air conditioner includes mode control, wind speed control, power control, backlight control and timing control, etc. The mode control function module also includes automatic, cooling, heating, air supply, dehumidification and other functional units. The user can long press and drag the mode control function module to adjust its position in the remote control function interface, and long press and drag the cooling function unit to adjust its position in the mode control function module area.

[0049] In an optional implementation, the remote control function interface supports user customization of background images, icons and other elements, and also supports customization of icon colors. The user selects the icon color, which can be uploaded to the server via the color value, and then the corresponding color icon can be downloaded to enrich the scope of customization.

[0050] In an optional implementation, it supports adding commonly used custom remote controls to the desktop, so that users can quickly access commonly used functions without opening the application, and the widgets display information in a graphical manner.

[0051] In this embodiment, the user operates the function unit in the remote control function interface to adjust the remote control parameters. For example, the function unit is displayed in the form of a function button, and the user clicks or long presses the function button to adjust the remote control. The background receives the remote control parameters input by the user and sends the remote control parameters to the target device through the target communication protocol and the target interface adapter, which specifically includes the following steps.

[0052] Step 1: receiving remote control parameters input by a user from an interactive interface.

[0053] Get user input values ​​from the user interface (such as buttons, sliders, drop-down menus, etc.). These input values ​​represent the parameters that the user wants to set, such as temperature, brightness, mode, etc.

[0054] Step 2: According to the pre-built command mapping relationship, the remote control parameters input by the user are constructed into control commands that comply with the target communication protocol.

[0055] Step 2.1, build a control instruction framework according to the requirements of the target communication protocol.

[0056] First, according to the requirements of the target communication protocol, a control instruction framework is constructed, including fixed fields and parameter fields. Fixed fields usually include instruction type, device identifier (such as MAC address, serial number), timestamp, etc.

[0057] Step 2.2: fill the remote control parameters input by the user into the adaptation field in the control command according to the pre-built command mapping relationship.

[0058] The pre-built command mapping relationship refers to the fields corresponding to different types of remote control parameters. According to this mapping relationship, the remote control parameters input by the user are filled into the adaptation fields in the control command, for example, the "brightness" value input by the user is mapped to the "brightness" field in the control command.

[0059] It should be noted that if the unit entered by the user is different from the unit required by the control instruction, a unit conversion is required (such as from Celsius to Fahrenheit). Verify whether the value entered by the user is within the allowed range. If not, it may be necessary to adjust it to the nearest legal value or report an error.

[0060] Step 2.3, fill in the instruction type, device unique identifier, and timestamp in the corresponding fixed fields of the control instruction.

[0061] It can be understood that corresponding parameters need to be filled in the fixed fields of the control instructions.

[0062] Step 3: Encode the control instruction according to the format specified by the target communication protocol.

[0063] Encode and serialize the instruction data in the format specified by the protocol, including converting the data structure into a string, performing Base64 encoding, adding a checksum or signature, etc. to ensure the integrity and security of the data, and prepare for sending.

[0064] Step 4: Send the encoded control instruction to the target device through the target interface adapter.

[0065] Finally, the encoded control instruction is sent to the target device through the target interface adapter. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the remote control parameters are sent to the target device through the cloud server, and the feedback of the target device is received through the cloud server.

[0066] An embodiment of a method for customizing remote control of a household appliance is described in detail above. Based on the method for customizing remote control of a household appliance described in the above embodiment, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a system for customizing remote control of a household appliance corresponding to the method.

The module referred to in the present invention refers to a series of computer program segments that can be executed by at least one processor and can complete fixed functions, which are stored in a memory.

[0068] Device information acquisition module 210: acquires device information configured by the user.

[0069] The protocol interface adapter module 220 matches the target communication protocol and the target interface adapter from the pre-configured protocol interface library according to the device information, and stores the device information, the target communication protocol and the target interface adapter locally.

[0070] Communication test module 230: sends a communication test instruction to the target device based on the target communication protocol and the target interface adapter.

[0071] The remote control function interface configuration module 240 provides the user with a remote control function configuration interface in response to the communication test pass information, and adjusts the remote control function interface of the target device according to the user's configuration operation.
