[0051] In the following description, for the purpose of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of the various exemplary embodiments. However, it is apparent that the various exemplary embodiments can be implemented without these specific details or with one or more equivalent arrangements. In other cases, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the various exemplary embodiments. In addition, the various exemplary embodiments can be different, but not necessarily exclusive. For example, the specific shape, configuration, and characteristics of the exemplary embodiment can be used or implemented in another exemplary embodiment without departing from the inventive concept.

[0052] In the accompanying drawings, the sizes and relative sizes of the elements may be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes. Thus, the sizes and relative sizes of the individual elements are not necessarily limited to those shown in the drawings. When the exemplary embodiments can be implemented differently, the specific process sequence can be performed differently from the described sequence. For example, two processes described in succession can be performed substantially simultaneously or in an order opposite to the described sequence. In addition, the same reference numerals represent the same elements.

[0053] When an element is described as being "on" another element, "connected to" another element, or "coupled to" another element, the element may be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to another element, or there may be an intermediate element. However, when an element is described as being "directly on" another element, "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to," another element, there is no intermediate element. Other terms and / or expressions used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a similar manner, for example, "between" versus "directly between," "adjacent" versus "directly adjacent," or "on" versus "directly on," etc. In addition, the term "connected" may refer to a physical connection, an electrical connection, a communication connection, and / or a fluid connection. In addition, the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis are not limited to the three axes of a rectangular coordinate system, and may be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis may be perpendicular to each other, or may represent different directions that are not perpendicular to each other. For the purposes of this disclosure, “at least one of X, Y, and Z” and “at least one selected from the group consisting of X, Y, and Z” may be interpreted as only X, only Y, only Z, or any combination of two or more of X, Y, and Z, such as XYZ, XY, YZ, and XZ. As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0054] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe different elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are merely used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first element may be named a second element, and similarly, a second element may be named a first element without departing from the scope of the exemplary embodiments.

Figure 1B The main view of the remote control is shown. Figure 1C The right side view of the remote control is shown. Figure 1D The left side view of the remote control is shown. Figure 1E shows the rear view of the remote control. Figure 1F shows the top view of the remote control. Figure 1G A bottom view of the remote control is shown.

[0056] Figure 2 The functional block diagram of a remote controller according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0057] Figure 3 The internal structure of a remote controller according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0058] Figure 4 An exploded view of a remote control according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0059] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a remote controller, the external structure of which can refer to Figure 1A The remote controller has a housing 200 and a plurality of modules arranged in the housing 200 for realizing different functions, so that the user can use the remote controller to remotely control the corresponding electronic device more conveniently.

[0060] Combined with reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The remote control may be provided with an ultra-wideband module UWB, an infrared transmitter IR, a Bluetooth antenna BT, a touch module Touch, a near-field communication module NFC, a buzzer BUZ, a battery BAT, a microphone MIC, an indicator light 110, a switch 120 and a button group 130, etc.

[0061] The ultra-wideband module UWB can transmit data within a very wide frequency range (usually 3.1 to 10.6GHz). UWB technology has the characteristics of high-precision positioning, which can achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy. By setting the ultra-wideband module UWB in the remote control, the remote control can accurately point to a specific area on the smart screen and perform operations, realizing the remote control effect of "point and control".

[0062] The Bluetooth antenna (BT) converts electrical signals generated by the remote control's internal circuitry into radio waves, allowing the remote control to transmit control commands to target devices such as smart TVs and audio systems. The Bluetooth antenna (BT) provides a longer communication range, allowing users to freely operate the remote control in a wider range of spaces, improving user convenience.

[0063] A near-field communication module NFC is set in the remote control, allowing the remote control to quickly pair and exchange data with NFC-enabled devices through simple touch operations.

[0064] A microphone MIC is set in the remote control to allow users to control corresponding electronic devices, such as smart TVs, audio systems, etc., through voice commands. For example, voice commands can be used to search for content, control playback, adjust volume, or perform other operations.

[0065] A buzzer (BUZ) is an electronic component that generates sound based on signals in a circuit. It is typically used for reminders, warnings, or simple sound effects. A buzzer in a remote control can be used in a variety of scenarios. For example, it can be used to provide reminders, alerting users when the remote is successfully or unsuccessfully paired with an electronic device. Another example is a search function. If a user can't find the remote, a signal from the electronic device can activate the buzzer to help them locate it.

[0066] Combined with reference Figure 1A 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the ultra-wideband module UWB, the infrared transmitter IR, the Bluetooth antenna BT, the touch module Touch, the near field communication module NFC, the buzzer BUZ, the battery BAT, the microphone MIC, the indicator light 110, the switch 120 and the button group 130 can be arranged according to Figure 3 The illustrated positions are placed within the housing 200 of the remote control.

[0067] Figure 5A-5B Schematically illustrates an assembly diagram of an ultra-wideband module of a remote controller according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, wherein: Figure 5A This shows the structure of the ultra-wideband module before it is assembled on the upper housing. Figure 5B The diagram shows the structure of the ultra-wideband module after being assembled on the upper housing.

[0068] Figure 6 Schematic diagram showing the Figure 1B Cross-section taken along the midline AA'. Figure 7 Schematically shows Figure 6 Magnified view of area C in the middle.

[0069] Combined with reference Figure 1A 、 Figure 1C 、 Figure 1E 、 Figure 5A 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 The housing 200 of the remote controller includes a first housing 210 and a second housing 220. The first housing 210 and the second housing 220 are connected along a first direction X and enclose a mounting cavity 200a (see Figure 9F As indicated at 200a in the figure, the mainboard 300 and the ultra-wideband module UWB are disposed in the mounting cavity 200a of the housing 200, and the mainboard 300 and the ultra-wideband module UWB are electrically connected, so that signal transmission can be performed between the mainboard 300 and the ultra-wideband module UWB.

[0070] The second housing 220 includes an upper housing 221 and a lower housing 222. The lower housing 222 is located on one side of the upper housing 221 along the second direction Y. The second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. The ultra-wideband module UWB and the mainboard 300 are connected along the second direction Y. The ultra-wideband module UWB is located between the first housing 210 and the upper housing 221. At least a portion of the mainboard 300 is located between the first housing 210 and the lower housing 222. Figure 7 The first shell 210 has a first surface S1 away from the second shell 220, the upper shell 221 has a second surface S2 away from the first shell 210, and the lower shell 222 has a third surface S3 away from the first shell 210. The first distance D1 between the third surface S3 and the first surface S1 along the first direction X is smaller than the second distance D2 between the second surface S2 and the first surface S1 along the first direction X. That is, the space formed between the upper shell 221 and the first shell 210 is larger in size along the first direction X, and the space can accommodate a thicker ultra-wideband module UWB, while the space formed between the lower shell 222 and the first shell 210 is smaller in size along the first direction X, and other thinner structures (for example, including the main board 300) can be accommodated in the space, thereby ensuring that the remote control as a whole has a thinner thickness.

[0071] The inventors have discovered that ultra-wideband (UWB) modules are thicker than other structures. Installing an ultra-wideband (UWB) module in a remote control increases the thickness of the remote control, which can be inconvenient for users. In the remote control provided in the disclosed embodiment, by splitting the second housing 220 into an upper housing 221 and a lower housing 222, and independently configuring the shapes of the upper and lower housings 221 and 222, the ultra-wideband (UWB) module is incorporated into the remote control while maintaining its thinness and lightness, making it easier for users to hold and operate the remote control.

[0072] Figure 8 Schematic diagram showing the Figure 1B Cross-section taken along the center line BB'. Figures 9A-9G The figure schematically shows the assembly process of the remote controller according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 10 Schematically shows Figure 9B Magnified view of area D in the middle.

[0073] According to some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 5A 、 Figure 5B 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 9B and Figure 10 The upper shell 221 includes a back plate 2211 and a top plate 2212. The back plate 2211 is located on one side of the first shell 210 along the first direction X and is spaced apart from the first shell 210. The ultra-wideband module UWB is located between the back plate 2211 and the first shell 210. The top plate 2212 is connected to a side of the back plate 2211 away from the lower shell 222 along one side of the first direction X to form an integral structure, and the top plate 2212 is in contact with the first shell 210 on the other side along the first direction X. The first shell 210 has a first stop portion 231 protruding toward the top plate 2212 on one side along the second direction Y, and the top plate 2212 has a first protrusion 241 protruding toward the first shell 210. The first protrusion 241 is located on the side of the first stop portion 231 close to the lower shell 222. The first stop portion 231 and the first protrusion 241 interact with each other to limit the upper shell 221, which can limit the upper shell 221 from moving along the second direction Y toward the side away from the lower shell 222 compared to the first shell 210.

[0074] According to some exemplary embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 5A 、 Figure 7 and Figure 10 The first stopper 231 is in the shape of a strip extending along the third direction Z, and the first protrusion 241 is in the shape of a strip extending along the third direction Z. The side of the first stopper 231 away from the ultra-wideband module UWB along the second direction Y is substantially flush with the side of the top plate 2212 away from the ultra-wideband module UWB along the second direction Y, thereby achieving position limiting while making the remote control have a flat upper surface ( Figure 1F schematic surface).

[0075] It should be noted that the third direction Z is perpendicular to both the first direction X and the second direction Y. Figure 1A 、 Figure 1B and Figure 1G This third direction Z is indicated schematically.

[0076] According to some exemplary embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 5A 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7The back plate 2211 has a second protrusion 242 that protrudes toward the first housing 210. The side of the lower housing 222 closer to the upper housing 221 is located on the side of the back plate 2211 closer to the first housing 210 and on the side of the second protrusion 242 farther from the top plate 2212. The second protrusion 242 interacts with the upper end of the lower housing 222 to limit the upper housing 221, thereby restricting the upper housing 221 from moving relative to the first housing 210 along the second direction Y toward the side closer to the lower housing 222. In other words, the interaction between the first stop 231 in the first housing 210 and the first protrusion 241 in the upper housing 221, in conjunction with the interaction between the upper end of the lower housing 222 and the second protrusion 242 in the upper housing 221, restricts the first housing 210 from moving in both directions of the second direction Y relative to the first housing 210.

[0077] According to some exemplary embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 1A 、 Figure 1B 、 Figure 1C 、 Figure 1D 、 Figure 5A 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9B and Figure 10 The first housing 210 includes a cover plate 211, a first side plate 212, and a second side plate 213. The cover plate 211 is located on one side of the second housing 220 along the first direction X. The first side plate 212 and the second side plate 213 are respectively connected to the cover plate 211 on both sides along the third direction Z. The first side plate 212 has a third protrusion 243 on one side along the second direction Y, protruding toward the second side plate 213. The second side plate 213 has a fourth protrusion 244 on one side along the second direction Y, protruding toward the first side plate 212. The top plate 2212 has a first recess 251 and a second recess 252 on both sides along the third direction Z, respectively. The first recess 251 is recessed toward one side of the second recess 252, and the second recess 252 is recessed toward one side of the first recess 251. At least a portion of the third protrusion 243 is located within the first recess 251, and at least a portion of the fourth protrusion 244 is located within the second recess 252. The cooperation between the third protrusion 243 and the first recess 251 , and the cooperation between the fourth protrusion 244 and the second recess 252 can restrict the upper shell 221 from moving along the first direction X relative to the first shell 210 .

[0078] According to some exemplary embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 5A 、 Figure 9B 、 Figure 9C and Figure 10The first side plate 212 has a second stopper 232 on its side away from the cover plate 211. The second stopper 232 protrudes toward the side away from the cover plate 211, compared to the portion of the first side plate 212 located near the second stopper 232 and closer to the second side plate 213. The second side plate 213 has a third stopper 233 on its side away from the cover plate 211. The third stopper 233 protrudes toward the side away from the cover plate 211, compared to the portion of the second side plate 213 located near the third stopper 233 and closer to the first side plate 212. A fifth protrusion 245 and a sixth protrusion 246 are provided on the side of the back plate 2211 near the cover plate 211. The fifth protrusion 245 and the sixth protrusion 246 are spaced apart along the third direction Z. The two sides of the back plate 2211 along the second direction Y are respectively located on the side of the second stop portion 232 and the third stop portion 233 away from the cover plate 211. In addition, the fifth protrusion 245 is located on the side of the second stop portion 232 close to the third stop portion 233, and the sixth protrusion 246 is located on the side of the third stop portion 233 close to the second stop portion 232. Through the interaction between the first stop portion 231 and the fifth protrusion 245, and the interaction between the second stop portion 232 and the sixth protrusion 246, the upper housing 221 can be restricted from moving along the third direction Z relative to the first housing 210.

[0079] According to some exemplary embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 5A 、 Figure 9B 、 Figure 9C and Figure 10 The second stop portion 232 and the third stop portion 233 are in the shape of a strip extending along the second direction Y, and the fifth protrusion 245 and the sixth protrusion 246 are in the shape of a strip extending along the second direction Y. The second stop portion 232 and the portion of the first side plate 212 located inside the first stop portion 231 form a step structure, and the third stop portion 233 and the portion of the second side plate 213 located inside the second stop portion 232 form a step structure ( Figure 10 Only the step structure at the second stop portion 232 is schematically shown. The side of the fifth protrusion 245 away from the sixth protrusion 246 is closer to the sixth protrusion 246 than the side of the back plate 2211 away from the sixth protrusion 246. The fifth protrusion 245 and a portion of the side plate away from the sixth protrusion 246 form a step structure. The side of the sixth protrusion 246 away from the fifth protrusion 245 is closer to the fifth protrusion 245 than the side of the back plate 2211 away from the fifth protrusion 245. The sixth protrusion 246 and a portion of the side plate away from the fifth protrusion 245 form a step structure ( Figure 5AOnly the step structure at the sixth protrusion 246 is schematically shown. The step structure formed at the fifth protrusion 245 matches the shape of the step structure formed at the first stopper 231, and the step structure formed at the sixth protrusion 246 matches the shape of the step structure formed at the second stopper 232, so that after the upper shell 221 is assembled with the first shell 210, the surfaces of the upper shell 221 on both sides along the second direction Y are flush with the surface of the first side plate 212 on the side away from the second side plate 213 and the surface of the second side plate 213 on the side away from the first side plate 212, respectively ( Figure 9C The structure in which the surface of the upper shell 221 along the second direction Y is flush with the surface of the second side plate 213 is schematically shown.

[0080] According to some exemplary embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 5A 、 Figure 5B and Figure 6 The side of the back plate 2211 away from the top plate 2212 is further away from the top plate 2212 than the side of the second protrusion 242 away from the top plate 2212. A limiting portion 260 is provided on the side of the second protrusion 242 near the first housing 210. The limiting portion 260 protrudes toward the lower housing 222 relative to the second protrusion 242. The portion of the limiting portion 260 that protrudes relative to the second protrusion 242 is spaced apart from the back plate 2211. A portion of the lower housing 222 near the upper housing 221 is located between the limiting portion 260 and the back plate 2211. In other words, the back plate 2211 and the limiting portion 260 in the upper housing 221 jointly limit the lower housing 222 in the first direction X, thereby limiting the upper housing 221 from moving relative to the lower housing 222 in the first direction X.
