Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of remote control improvement technology, specifically to a novel remote control. Background Technology

[0002] There are many pressing problems in the current field of remote control technology. On the one hand, products with offline voice recognition are easily affected by environmental factors as the distance increases, leading to a significant drop in voice recognition rate. On the other hand, most ordinary 2.4G remote controls adopt a one-way data transmission mode, which can only transmit commands to another circuit board to execute actions, while the remote control itself cannot provide feedback on the current status of the machine, leaving the user in a blind spot of information acquisition. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a novel remote control that effectively overcomes the problem of poor long-distance recognition in ordinary offline voice recognition products. It also reduces the requirements for chip recognition performance, thus achieving effective cost control. Furthermore, the adoption of two-way communication technology allows users to monitor the machine's status in real time, completely eliminating information blind spots and providing a more convenient and intelligent user experience.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: it includes a main control circuit board 1, a secondary control circuit board 2, a voice recognition device 3, a wireless two-way communication module 4, a signal receiver 5, a signal amplifier 6, a signal partition controller 7, and a signal processor 8; the main control circuit board 1 and the secondary control circuit board 2 are integrated and installed in a remote control. The main control circuit board 1 is installed on one side, and the 2.4G wireless two-way communication module 4 is installed on the other side of the main control circuit board 1 corresponding to the position of the main control circuit board 1. The signal receiver 5 and the signal amplifier 6 are installed in the middle of the main control circuit board 1. The secondary control circuit board 2 is matched and correspondingly set with each button on the remote control through the signal partition controller 7, and is electrically connected to the main control circuit board 1 by the signal processor 8.

[0005] Furthermore, the aforementioned voice recognizer 3 is an offline voice recognizer, which can overcome the shortcomings of ordinary offline voice recognition products where recognition becomes worse at greater distances. At the same time, it can reduce the requirements for the chip's recognition performance, and the cost can be effectively reduced.

[0006] Furthermore, the 2.4G wireless two-way communication module 4 is a device capable of wireless two-way communication within a fixed distance, enabling information exchange between the user and the remote control. The customer can make real-time voice control based on the remote control status, and the remote control can use offline voice recognition function when the user uses voice control, without requiring the user to be close to the remote control. Even if the remote control is far away, it can still recognize the user's voice and complete the corresponding action.

[0007] Furthermore, the signal partition controller 7 is provided in multiple units, determined by the number of buttons on different models of remote controls. This provides feedback on the working status of each button on the remote control during voice control.

[0008] Furthermore, the signal processor 8 is directly connected to the signal receiver 5 and the signal amplifier 6 via electrical signals, enabling the interconnection of electrical signals within the remote control.

[0009] The working principle of this invention is as follows: This novel remote control integrates an offline voice recognizer. When the user issues a voice command, the voice recognizer 3 first collects and performs preliminary processing on the voice signal. Since the remote control is always near the user, the voice signal transmission distance is shortened, greatly reducing the impact of environmental interference on the signal. The pre-processed voice signal is transmitted to the main control circuit board 1, which further analyzes and recognizes the signal, converting the recognition result into corresponding control commands. Simultaneously, the shortened signal transmission distance reduces the performance requirements of the chip, thereby controlling costs.

[0010] In terms of two-way communication, the wireless two-way communication module 4 plays a crucial role. After the main control circuit board 1 generates a control command, it sends the command out via the 2.4G wireless two-way communication module 4. The signal receiver 5 receives the status information fed back from the external device. This information is amplified by the signal amplifier 6 and then processed by the signal processor 8. The processed information is transmitted back to the main control circuit board 1, allowing the user to know the machine's real-time status via remote control, eliminating information blind spots.

[0011] The signal zone controller 7 is matched and configured with each button on the remote control. During voice control, it can generate corresponding feedback signals based on the button status. These signals are transmitted to the main control circuit board 1 via the signal processor 8, allowing users to clearly understand the working status of each button on the remote control during voice control.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above technical solution are as follows: From the perspective of offline voice function, embedding the offline voice recognizer into the remote control greatly improves the stability and reliability of voice recognition. The problem of traditional offline voice recognition products being affected by distance and environmental interference is solved. Users can smoothly issue voice commands wherever they are, as long as the remote control is nearby, significantly improving the convenience of voice control. Furthermore, by reducing the requirements for chip recognition performance, the product's cost is effectively controlled while maintaining functionality. This not only helps the product gain a price advantage in the market but also allows more consumers to enjoy the convenience of intelligent voice control, promoting the widespread application and popularization of the product.

[0013] Regarding two-way communication, the wireless two-way communication module enables real-time information interaction between the user and the machine. Users can promptly learn about the machine's operating status and flexibly adjust control commands according to actual conditions, avoiding operational errors caused by information asymmetry and significantly improving operational accuracy and efficiency. For example, when controlling smart home appliances, users can directly access information such as the appliance's on / off status and operating mode via the remote control, making timely adjustments and optimizing the user experience.

[0014] The signal zone controller is matched and configured with each button, providing users with feedback on the button's operational status during voice control. Users can clearly understand the execution status of each button under voice commands, enhancing their sense of control over the remote control operation and further improving the product's usability and user experience. This design tightly integrates voice control and button operation, providing users with a more comprehensive and intuitive control method. Attached Figure Description

[0023] See Figure 1-6As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is:

[0024] Example 1: Offline voice control in a home theater scenario

[0025] In home theater systems, traditional offline voice recognition remotes often fail to accurately control functions like play, pause, and movie switching due to the user's distance from the device (e.g., the user is in a corner of the living room sofa). However, the new remote integrates an offline voice recognizer. Users, sitting on the sofa, can speak commands like "play action movie" into the remote, regardless of distance from the TV or speakers. The built-in voice recognizer quickly and accurately captures the voice signal, processes it on the main control circuit board, and sends the command to the home theater equipment for smooth operation. This not only improves the convenience of voice control for home theaters but also reduces the chip performance requirements, making the remote more cost-effective than similar products with long-distance voice control capabilities on the market. This makes it more competitively priced, allowing more families to easily enjoy the superior viewing experience brought by intelligent voice control.

[0026] Example 2: Two-way communication control of intelligent air conditioners

[0027] On a summer's day, users can control their smart air conditioner via a mobile app connected to a new remote control on their way home from work. The two-way communication module comes into play: the user issues a command on their phone to turn on the air conditioner and set the temperature to 26°C; this command is transmitted to the air conditioner via the remote control's wireless two-way communication module. Simultaneously, the air conditioner's real-time operating status, such as the current temperature and whether cooling has started, is fed back to the remote control via the same two-way communication link and then displayed on the user's mobile app. The user can clearly see that the air conditioner has been successfully turned on and that the indoor temperature is gradually decreasing. Based on this real-time information, the user can further adjust parameters such as fan speed and mode, avoiding repeated operations due to unclear information. This greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of controlling the smart air conditioner and optimizes the user experience in different scenarios.

[0028] Example 3: Smart Curtain Button and Voice Control

[0029] In the morning, a user wants to draw back the curtains to welcome the sunlight. They can either press the "Open Curtains" button on the remote control or simply say "Open Curtains" to the remote. When a user uses a voice command, the signal zone controller activates, providing feedback on the button's status to the user. An indicator light on the remote shows that the command is being executed, and the user hears a prompt tone informing them that the curtains are opening. This feedback clearly informs the user of the operation's progress, enhancing their sense of control over the remote. Furthermore, throughout the entire control process, voice control and button operation complement each other, providing users with diverse, comprehensive, and intuitive ways to control smart curtains, thus improving the user experience.
