[0002] A remote control is a device used to remotely control machinery. Modern remote controls primarily consist of an integrated circuit board and buttons that generate various signals. Using modern digital coding technology, remote controls encode keystroke information and transmit light waves through infrared diodes. The infrared receiver converts the received infrared signals into electrical signals, which are then decoded by a processor and demodulated into the appropriate commands to control devices such as set-top boxes. When developing a remote control, it's important to assess its battery life to avoid rapid power consumption and a negative impact on the user experience.

[0003] In the related art, remote control battery life is typically estimated based on the power released when the battery drops from a new, full charge to a low voltage, and the daily power required by the remote control. However, due to the difference between the power released by the battery and the actual power consumption of the remote control, and the relatively unstable power consumption of the remote control during operation and remote control commands, accurate power measurement is difficult, resulting in low accuracy in the remote control battery life estimated using this method.

[0027] A remote control is a device used to remotely control machinery. Modern remote controls primarily consist of an integrated circuit board and buttons that generate various signals. Using modern digital coding technology, remote controls encode keystroke information and transmit light waves through infrared diodes. The infrared receiver converts the received infrared signals into electrical signals, which are then decoded by a processor and demodulated into the appropriate commands to control devices such as set-top boxes. When developing a remote control, it's important to assess its battery life to avoid rapid power consumption and a negative impact on the user experience.

[0028] In related art, remote control battery life is typically assessed based on the power released when the battery drops from a fully charged state to a low voltage, and the daily power required by the remote control. Exemplarily, the process for assessing remote control battery life can be as follows: Determine the power W released when the remote control battery drops from a fully charged state to a low voltage, where, for example, the low voltage can be set to 1.7V; Determine the power P required for daily use of the remote control; and Estimate the remote control battery life using the formula T = W / P.

[0029] However, because batteries produced by various manufacturers typically discharge through an external battery with a fixed resistance, this differs from the actual power consumption of a remote control, resulting in a significant discrepancy between the power W reported and the actual power consumption. Furthermore, while the remote control is in standby mode with no buttons pressed, its power consumption becomes relatively unstable during operation and remote control commands, making it difficult to accurately measure power consumption. Therefore, the remote control battery life estimated using the above method is inaccurate.

[0030] To address the problems in the above methods, this exemplary embodiment proposes a remote control battery life evaluation method, a remote control battery life evaluation device, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The technical solutions of the disclosed embodiments are described in detail below:

[0031] This exemplary embodiment first provides a remote control battery life evaluation method. Figure 1 As shown, the remote control battery life evaluation method specifically includes the following steps:

[0032] Step S110: Obtaining the standby current and load current of the remote control at various battery voltages, wherein the standby current is the operating current of the remote control in the standby state, and the load current is the operating current of the remote control when operating the target load;

[0033] Step S120: converting the standby power consumption of the remote controller in the standby state into the load working time of the target load according to the standby current and the load current;

[0034] Step S130: Controlling the remote control to periodically execute the target load and the remote control command until the remote control battery is exhausted. In each cycle, the number of executions of the remote control command is a preset value, and the target load operation time is the load operation time corresponding to the battery voltage in the current cycle.

[0035] Step S140: Obtain the total number of times the remote control executes the remote control command, and determine the battery life of the remote control according to the total number of times the remote control command is executed and a preset value.

[0036] In the remote control battery life assessment method provided in the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the remote control's power consumption in standby mode is converted into the load operating time of a target load. The remote control is then controlled to execute remote control commands and the target load to simulate a user's use of the remote control until the battery life is exhausted. The battery life is then determined based on the total number of remote control commands executed and a preset number of remote control command executions per cycle. This method eliminates the need to verify the specific battery charge level, test the unstable current or power consumption of the remote control during operation, or confirm the remote control's actual minimum operating voltage. This method allows for a relatively accurate and rapid simulation of the remote control battery's service life. Furthermore, the present disclosure can be implemented simply by upgrading the program control logic, without incurring additional costs.

[0037] Next, in another embodiment, the above steps are described in more detail.

[0038] In step S110, the standby current and load current of the remote controller at various battery voltages are obtained, wherein the standby current is the operating current of the remote controller in the standby state, and the load current is the operating current of the remote controller when running the target load.

[0039] In the disclosed embodiments, the remote control is a device for remotely controlling a machine, comprising an integrated circuit board and buttons for generating various signals. For example, the remote control may be an air conditioner remote control, where the buttons are keys on the air conditioner remote control for sending control commands. For example, pressing a temperature adjustment button on the air conditioner remote control can adjust the temperature to a comfortable level.

[0040] In the disclosed embodiments, the target load is any stable load. The operating current of the remote control when operating under the target load is relatively stable. The battery operating current of the remote control under the target load is the load current. For example, if the target load is to illuminate only the backlight, the load current is the operating current of the remote control when only the backlight is illuminated. The standby current is the battery current when the remote control enters standby mode without any operation.

[0041] Because the operating voltage of the remote control battery varies, the operating current under the same operating state will also vary. For example, when the battery voltage is 5V and 2V, the standby current of the remote control in standby mode and the load current when the target load is running will be different. As the remote control battery depletes, the battery voltage it can reach will also decrease. That is, during the battery life assessment process provided by the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the voltage of the remote control battery changes. Therefore, to improve the accuracy of the assessment, the embodiments of the present disclosure require the above-mentioned standby current and load current under different battery voltages.

[0042] Exemplarily, the process for obtaining the remote control's standby current and load current at various battery voltages can be as follows: at various battery voltages, a current measuring device is used to measure the remote control's standby current when in standby mode and the load current when operating a target load. The standby current and load current are current values ​​directly measured by the current measuring device based on actual circuit conditions. Therefore, they are theoretically applicable to any range of resistors, regardless of the resistance value. Preferably, after obtaining the standby current and load current, the obtained current values ​​can be recorded and stored in the method program in association with the current battery voltage.

[0043] In step S120 , the standby power consumption of the remote controller in the standby state is converted into a load operating time of the target load according to the standby current and the load current.

[0044] In daily use, the power consumption of a remote control can generally be divided into two parts. One part is the power consumption of sending remote control commands or the power consumption of the incidental load through the remote control during operation. For example, the incidental load can be lighting the backlight and sounding the buzzer. The other part is the power consumption when the remote control enters the standby state during non-operation. In order to evaluate the battery life of the remote control, the embodiment of the present disclosure converts the standby power consumption of the remote control in the standby state into the load working time that the remote control can support when running the target load, so as to subsequently simulate the user's daily operation of the remote control by controlling the remote control to run the target load and the remote control command.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned control remote control runs the target load and remote control instructions to simulate the user's daily operation of the remote control as a periodic operation. In different cycles, the voltage of the remote control battery may be different. Therefore, in this step, it is necessary to obtain the above-mentioned standby current and load current corresponding to the voltage of the current cycle. Exemplarily, the standby current and load current corresponding to the cycle voltage can be obtained from the above-mentioned corresponding relationship stored in the method program, and the above-mentioned standby power consumption can be determined in combination with the cycle length of the current cycle.

[0046] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned process of converting the standby power consumption of the remote control in the standby state into the load working time of the target load based on the standby current and the load current can be implemented as follows: multiplying the standby current and the cycle time, and the product obtained is the standby power consumption of the battery of the remote control in the standby state in one cycle under the current battery voltage; dividing the standby power consumption and the load current to obtain the load working time that the standby power consumption can support when the remote control is running the target load.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the process of converting the standby power consumption into the load working time of the target load is described in detail below, taking a 24-hour period as a day:

[0048] First, the terms involved in this specific embodiment are explained:

[0049] I1: Dynamic current during the period of sending remote control commands or during the period of attached loads;

[0050] I2: The static current when the remote control is not in use and enters the standby state, that is, the standby current mentioned above;

[0051] I3: The current when the remote control runs a stable load, that is, the load current mentioned above;

[0052] N1: The average number of times a user presses a button on the remote control per day (N1 can be any value. For quick evaluation, several typical values ​​can be used based on experience or statistical data. For example, the average number of times a user presses a button on the remote control to send a code per day could be 30 or 50 times).

[0053] N2: The number of times the remote control wakes up normally from new batteries to exhausted batteries in a specified manner;

[0054] t: The time before the remote control enters the standby state when it is in the working state after a single operation to send remote control commands;

[0055] t1: The interval between two code transmissions when sending N1 codes consecutively (t1 is equal to or slightly greater than t, ensuring that the longest single working state is used);

[0056] t2: The total power consumption of the remote control in standby mode is converted into the time required for stable load operation when the load is running, that is, the load working time.

[0057] In this specific embodiment, a day of 24 hours is taken as a cycle. Since the remote control dynamic current time is short, it is temporarily ignored. The standby time is taken as 24 hours. The standby power consumption I2*24h can be calculated by the above standby current and standby time (that is, the cycle length); then, the above load working time is determined according to the standby power and load current by the following formula: I2*24h=I3*t2, and t2=I2*24h / I3.

[0058] It should be noted that the above scenario is only an exemplary description, and the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0059] In step S130, the remote control is controlled to periodically run the target load and the remote control command until the battery life of the remote control is exhausted, wherein the number of execution times of the above remote control command in each cycle is a preset value, and the operating time of the target load is the load working time corresponding to the battery voltage of the current cycle.

[0060] In the disclosed embodiments, the remote control command is an operation command for the remote control. For example, using an air conditioner remote control as an example, the remote control command may be a temperature adjustment command issued by pressing a temperature adjustment button on the remote control. The preset value is the number of times the remote control receives a remote control command within a cycle. This preset value can be determined based on experience. For example, taking a 24-hour cycle as an example, the preset value is the average number of times a user presses a button on the remote control in a day. To facilitate quick evaluation, several typical values ​​can be used for evaluation based on experience or statistical data. For example, the number of times a user presses a button on the remote control to send a code in a day may be 30 or 50 times.

[0061] In one embodiment, exemplarily, the process of controlling the remote control to periodically run the target load and remote control instructions until the battery life of the remote control is exhausted can be implemented as follows: within the current cycle, the remote control is controlled to execute the remote control instruction once every first preset time period, wherein the first preset time period is greater than or equal to the instruction execution time of the remote control instruction; when the preset value of remote control instructions are executed, the remote control is controlled to run the target load for the load working time, and the battery voltage of the remote control is detected in real time; under the detected real-time voltage, the load working time obtained by converting the standby current and the load current is determined, and the load working time is used as the load working time of the next cycle; repeatedly executing within the current cycle, every preset time period, the remote control is controlled to execute the remote control instruction once until the load working time is used as the load working time of the next cycle until the battery life of the remote control is exhausted.

[0062] The process is described in detail in the above specific embodiment below, and is specifically implemented as follows:

[0063] In this specific embodiment, N1 (the average number of times a user uses the remote control buttons in a day) is the above-mentioned preset value, t (the time when the remote control is in working state and before entering the standby state when a single operation is performed to send a remote control command) is the execution time of the above-mentioned command, and t1 (the interval between each two code transmissions when the code is sent N1 times in a row) is the above-mentioned first preset time.

[0064] Furthermore, the above process is implemented as follows: After the remote control is powered on, it automatically wakes up and sends a remote control command every time interval t1. After executing N1 times, it runs a stable load for a duration t2. Simultaneously, the remote control's battery voltage is monitored in real time. Based on the battery voltage, the duration t2 of the stable load executed after the next remote control command is updated. This process is repeated until the remote control battery is exhausted. It should be noted that in the above process, the stable load can also be scheduled to run after any remote control command.

[0065] Further, in another embodiment, the above-mentioned control of the remote controller to periodically run the target load and the remote control instruction can be implemented as follows: in the current period, the quotient of the load working time and the preset value is taken as the second preset time, and the sum of the second preset time and the first preset time is taken as the preset running interval, wherein the first preset time is greater than or equal to the instruction execution time of the remote control instruction; every preset running interval, the remote controller is controlled to execute the remote control instruction and run the target load for the second preset time, and the battery voltage of the remote controller is detected in real time; under the detected real-time voltage, the load working time converted from the standby current and the load current is determined, and the load working time is taken as the load working time of the next period; the operation of taking the quotient of the load working time and the preset value as the second preset time in the current period to taking the load working time as the load working time of the next period is repeated until the battery life of the remote controller is exhausted.

[0066] In the following, the above-mentioned process is described in detail in the specific embodiments, and the implementation is as follows:

[0067] In the specific embodiment, N1 (the average number of times that the user uses the remote controller keys in a day) is the above-mentioned preset value, t (the time before entering the standby state when the remote controller is in the working state for single operation to send the remote control instruction) is the above-mentioned instruction execution time, and t1 (the interval time between two consecutive times of sending the code for N1 times) is the above-mentioned first preset time. (t1+t2 / N1) is the above-mentioned preset running interval.

[0068] Further, the above-mentioned process is implemented as follows: after the remote controller is powered on, every time interval (t1+t2 / N1), the remote controller is controlled to execute the automatic wake-up to send the remote control instruction, the execution time of the remote control instruction is t, and in the preset time interval, a certain stable load is run for t2 / N1 from the t1 moment. Such a cycle is repeated until the battery is exhausted. At the same time, during the running of the certain stable load by the remote controller, the battery voltage of the remote controller is detected in real time, and the stable load time t2 executed after the sending of the remote control instruction in the next period is updated according to different battery voltages.

[0069] It should be noted that the above-mentioned scenario is only an example, and the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0070] In step S140, the total number of times that the remote controller executes the remote control instruction is obtained, and the battery life of the remote controller is determined according to the total number of times of executing the remote control instruction and the preset value.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the total number of executions of the above-mentioned remote control commands is the total number of remote control commands executed in the process of controlling the remote control to run the remote control commands and the target load until the battery life of the remote control is exhausted in the above-mentioned step S130. The battery life can be determined by the total number of times and the preset value of the remote control commands executed in each cycle.

[0072] For example, the process for determining the remote control battery life can be as follows: Calculate the quotient of the total number of remote control command executions and a preset value to obtain the remote control battery life, i.e., the battery life is the quotient cycles. Using the above embodiment as an example, the total number of remote control command executions obtained in step S130 is N2 (the number of times the remote control normally wakes up and operates in a specified manner from when the batteries are new to when the batteries are exhausted). The remote control battery life is N2 / N1 days.

[0073] In the disclosed embodiment, in step S130, after each cycle of executing the remote control command and the target load, the total number of executions N2 of the remote control command can be updated. Preferably, if the remote control has a memory function, the number of remote control command executions N2 can be written into the memory to facilitate querying after powering on after a power outage. If the remote control has a display, the number of remote control command executions N2 can also be displayed on the display.

[0074] It should be noted that although the steps of the method of the present disclosure are described in a specific order in the drawings, this does not require or imply that the steps must be performed in this specific order, or that all steps must be performed to achieve the desired results. Additionally or alternatively, some steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step, and / or one step may be decomposed into multiple steps.

[0075] Furthermore, in this exemplary embodiment, a remote control battery life evaluation device is provided, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the remote control battery life evaluation device 200 may include a current acquisition module 210, a power consumption conversion module 220, an operation module 230, and an evaluation module 240.

[0076] The current acquisition module 210 can be used to obtain the standby current and load current of the remote control at various battery voltages, where the standby current is the operating current of the remote control in the standby state, and the load current is the operating current of the remote control when it is running the target load;
