[0003] The increase in the number of remote controllers makes it inconvenient to place them, and when a user needs to control a household appliance, the user must first find the corresponding remote controller. Multiple remote controllers can also cause the user to become confused and lost, and the process of controlling household appliances is not smooth enough. SUMMARY

Since the smart wearable device can be worn on a human body, when the user controls the to-be-controlled devices through the smart wearable device, the user does not need to find the remote controller corresponding to the to-be-controlled device, but controls different to-be-controlled devices through the smart wearable device and the control module with different infrared light, thereby avoiding the problem that too many remote controllers make it difficult for the user to find or distinguish the remote controllers, resulting in the inability to control the to-be-controlled devices or a complicated process of controlling the to-be-controlled devices, and providing the user with a better remote control experience.

[0023] To solve the above technical problem, the present disclosure proposes a smart wearable device.

[0024] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a smart wearable device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The smart wearable device can be worn on a user, and the user can realize corresponding functions by operating the smart wearable device.

[0025] As shown in Figure 1 , the smart wearable device 100 comprises:

[0026] an infrared emitter 110, configured to emit infrared light through an infrared light passage 120 in the smart wearable device 100;

[0027] a control module 130, configured to control the infrared emitter 110 to emit a plurality of infrared lights, wherein different infrared lights are used to control different to-be-controlled devices.

[0028] In some embodiments, the infrared emitter 110 can emit infrared light.

[0029] The infrared emitter 110 is located inside the smart wearable device 100, and therefore, the smart wearable device 100 needs to be provided with an infrared light passage 120 so that the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitter 110 can be transmitted to the outside of the smart wearable device through the infrared light passage 120.

[0030] In some embodiments, the infrared emitter 110 can be an infrared light-emitting diode.

[0031] The infrared light-emitting diode can convert an electrical signal into an infrared light signal and emit the infrared light signal. If the electrical signal received by the infrared light-emitting diode is different, the infrared light signal obtained after conversion is also different.

[0032] In some embodiments, the control module 130 is configured to control the infrared emitter to emit a plurality of infrared lights, wherein different infrared lights are used to control different to-be-controlled devices.

[0033] The to-be-controlled devices controlled by the infrared light can be controlled by different types of infrared light, for example, to avoid the problem that the same infrared light signal emitted by the remote controller can control different to-be-controlled devices, causing control confusion.

[0034] In a related technology, the infrared emitter in the remote controller can emit infrared light of a specific encoding type set in advance, and therefore, can only control the to-be-controlled device corresponding to the infrared light of the specific encoding type.

[0035] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the control module 130 can control the infrared emitter to emit a plurality of infrared lights, thereby controlling a plurality of corresponding to-be-controlled devices, so that the user can control a plurality of to-be-controlled devices by operating only one smart wearable device, without the need to find a remote controller matching the to-be-controlled device, thereby avoiding the problems of lost remote controllers or control confusion, and simplifying the control process of the user.

[0036] The embodiments of the present disclosure integrate the infrared remote control function on the smart wearable device. Since the smart wearable device can be worn on the human body, the user does not need to find a controller when needing to control the to-be-controlled device. Moreover, compared with the remote controller, the smart wearable device has relatively high value in the home, has a relatively irregular shape, and has a relatively large size, and therefore, the user can easily observe the smart wearable device when not wearing the smart wearable device, and can timely obtain the placed smart wearable device when needing to control the to-be-controlled device, thereby achieving timely infrared control of the to-be-controlled device.

[0037] In some embodiments, the to-be-controlled device can include, but is not limited to, an air conditioner, a sound, a television, a set-top box, a remote-controlled toy car, a lamp, and the like.

[0038] In some embodiments, the control module 130 can encode the control instructions for controlling the to-be-controlled device into an infrared coded electrical signal.

[0039] The control module 130 can send the electrical signal to the infrared emitter 110, so that the infrared emitter 110 converts the electrical signal into an infrared light signal and emits it.

[0040] For a plurality of control instructions for the same (brand / model) to-be-controlled device, the types of infrared codes used are usually the same, that is, in the same code type, a plurality of infrared codes corresponding to a plurality of control instructions can be included, which also correspond to a plurality of infrared light signals. The plurality of instructions can include, but are not limited to: start, temperature up, temperature down, heating, cooling, shutdown, volume up, volume down, brightness up, and brightness down, etc.

[0041] Therefore, if it is necessary to control the target to-be-controlled device, it is necessary to determine the target code type corresponding to the target to-be-controlled device. After determining the target code type, a plurality of corresponding infrared codes corresponding to the target code type can be determined to correspond to a plurality of control instructions. The specific method of determining the target code type will be described in detail later.

[0042] In some embodiments, the infrared light emitter is arranged on a flexible printed circuit (FPC) in the smart wearable device.

[0043] The infrared emitter can be powered by the FPC and receive control instructions.

[0044] In some embodiments, the smart wearable device 100 can include a smart watch.

[0045] It should be noted that the smart wearable device 100 is not limited to a smart watch, for example, it can also include a smart bracelet, a virtual reality (VR) headset, smart glasses, a prosthetic limb, etc.

[0046] Compared with other smart wearable devices, the smart watch has a higher popularization rate and a higher user possession rate, and the application of the smart watch is also relatively mature, and the application scenario is mainly to wear on the wrist, which is more convenient to operate. Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure are applied to the smart watch, which is more convenient to implement and more convenient for users to operate.

[0047] In the following, some specific embodiments are introduced to show how to implement the technical solutions of the present disclosure on the smart watch.

[0048] Figure 2 And Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of a smart watch according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0049] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the infrared light passage 120 is located in the crown 210 of the smart wearable device, and / or the infrared light passage is located in the outer frame 310 of the smart wearable device.

[0050] In some embodiments, the infrared emitter 110 is arranged on the support structure corresponding to the bar tube of the smart wearable device, and the infrared light passage 120 is arranged in the bar tube and the crown, wherein the bar tube is hollow inside, and the crown covers a light-transmitting cover plate corresponding to the hollow position of the bar tube.

[0051] The middle part of the crown 210 and the bar tube can be hollowed out to form an optical lens structure that can transmit traditional infrared light signals. The infrared light emitted by the infrared emitter can be transmitted to the outside of the smart wearable device through the infrared light passage 120 (optical lens structure).

[0052] Correspondingly, as Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the infrared emitter 110 can also be arranged on the support structure corresponding to the bar tube.

[0053] The infrared emitter 110 is directly opposite the bar tube and the crown 210.

[0054] The infrared light passage 120 is arranged in the bar tube and the crown 210, so that the middle part of the bar tube and the crown 210 is a transparent optical lens structure, which has a certain design sense in appearance and is more beautiful, and the acceptance of users is relatively high. On the other hand, it can also ensure the integrity of the outer frame of the smart wearable device, and take into account the hardware strength and waterproof function.

[0055] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting cover plate can be waterproofed, and the light-transmitting cover plate is flush with the edge of the crown.

[0056] In some embodiments, the infrared light passage 120 is arranged in the outer frame 310 of the smart wearable device, and the outer frame 310 covers a light-transmitting cover plate outside the infrared light passage 120.

[0057] The outer frame 310 includes the middle frame of a watch. The outer frame 310 can be designed with a hole to remove the non-light-transmitting outer frame material, and an optical lens structure that can transmit infrared signals is arranged outside the outer frame 310 of the smart wearable device.

[0058] The infrared emitter 110 can be directly opposite the infrared light passage 120.

[0059] There can be no crown in some smart wearable devices, or there is a crown but the position of the crown is unique (for example Figure 3In some embodiments, the infrared light path is arranged on the smart wearable device in a direction parallel to the band of the smart wearable device, such that the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitter extends along the direction of the band.

[0060] In some embodiments, the dial of the smart wearable device comprises a display screen.

[0061] In some embodiments, the infrared light path is arranged on the smart wearable device in a direction parallel to the band of the smart wearable device, such that the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitter extends along the direction of the band.

[0062] Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the infrared light path is arranged on the smart wearable device in a direction parallel to the band of the smart wearable device, such that the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitter extends along the direction of the band.

[0063] Therefore, the infrared light path 120 can be arranged in a direction parallel to the band of the smart wearable device, for example, above the dial plane (i.e. in the direction of twelve o'clock). Based on the infrared light path 120, the infrared emitter 110 can emit infrared light outward from above the dial plane of the smart wearable device (i.e. in the direction of twelve o'clock). In the case that the user wears the smart wearable device, it is more common to operate the smart wearable device with the arm bent at the chest, at which time the upper side of the dial screen of the smart wearable device (i.e. in the direction of twelve o'clock) is directly opposite the front of the user, which facilitates the user to point the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitter to the device to be controlled while operating the smart wearable device, thereby improving the user's operation comfort and increasing the probability of the emitted infrared light being received by the device to be controlled.

[0064] In some embodiments, the infrared light path is arranged on a detachable and / or rotatable decorative element of the smart wearable device, and there is a light path deflection structure inside the smart wearable device to make the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitter emit along the infrared light path on the decorative element.

[0065] The infrared light path can be arranged on the decorative element and adapted to the decorative pattern on the decorative element, so that the user cannot easily perceive the infrared light path in appearance. Alternatively, the infrared light path can be matched with other decorations on the decorative element when emitting infrared light, to present a better visual effect.

[0066] The detachable and / or rotatable decorative piece is also conducive to adjusting the direction of the infrared light passage, so that the infrared emitter can emit infrared light in more directions through the infrared light passage.

[0067] In some embodiments, the infrared emitter 110 and the infrared light passage 120 are arranged in a rotatable outer frame of the smart wearable device.

[0068] Arranging the infrared emitter 110 and the infrared light passage 120 in the rotatable outer frame allows the user to freely determine the emission direction of the infrared light by rotating the outer frame, so that the smart wearable device can emit infrared light in any direction. Arranging the infrared emitter 110 and the infrared light passage 120 in the rotatable outer frame can also improve the interest of the smart wearable device, so that the user can enjoy a pleasant experience in the process of rotating the rotatable outer frame, and it is conducive to integrating other functional components on the rotatable outer frame.

[0069] In some embodiments, the rotatable outer frame of the smart wearable device can also be provided with an illumination structure or a laser structure.

[0070] The user can select to emit infrared light, illumination light or laser light in a certain direction by rotating the outer frame, so as to meet different needs of the user.

[0071] In some embodiments, the smart wearable device is provided with infrared light passages in multiple directions, and the infrared emitter is configured to emit infrared light through at least one of the infrared light passages in the multiple directions.

[0072] The smart wearable device can be provided with infrared light passages in multiple directions for the infrared emitter to select at least one direction to emit infrared light.

[0073] The user can set the infrared emitter to select a suitable infrared light passage to emit infrared light according to his / her own use habits. For example, if the user is used to wearing the smart wearable device on the left hand, he / she can select an infrared light passage that is directed to the right of the dial plane; if the user is used to wearing the smart wearable device on the right hand, he / she can select an infrared light passage that is directed to the left of the dial plane. Based on this embodiment, the user can be provided with more choices to select a direction that is more suitable for him / her to emit infrared light.

[0074] The user can also determine the direction of the infrared light path selected by the infrared emitter for emitting infrared light according to the position of the device to be controlled. For example, the user wears a smart wearable device, and operates the smart wearable device with the curved arm in front of the chest. The device to be controlled is located on the left side of the user standing in the direction. The infrared emitter emits through the left infrared light path. Based on this embodiment, the user can control the device to be controlled without turning around or adjusting the standing posture and position during the emission of infrared light, which is more elegant and enriches the emotional experience of the user and meets the needs of the user.

[0075] In some embodiments, the infrared emitter can emit multiple infrared lights in multiple directions for controlling at least one device to be controlled in the multiple directions.

[0076] The infrared emitter can emit multiple infrared lights in multiple directions at the same time and synchronously control at least one device to be controlled in the directions. For example, the air conditioner and the humidifier can be started or turned off at the same time, and the television and the sound can be controlled to start or turn off at the same time.

[0077] In some embodiments, multiple devices to be controlled can also be bound as a combination. When the combination needs to be controlled, the infrared emitter can emit multiple infrared lights corresponding to the combination in multiple directions to control multiple devices to be controlled in the combination.

[0078] The multiple devices to be controlled bound as a combination can be devices to be controlled with similar functions, for example, three air conditioners in a living room are bound as an air conditioner combination. Through this embodiment, the three air conditioners can be synchronously controlled, and the temperature and the operation mode (cooling, heating, etc.) can be adjusted and turned on or off synchronously, which avoids the operation of the devices to be controlled one by one and reduces the operation amount of the user.

[0079] The multiple devices to be controlled bound as a combination can also be a combination of devices to be controlled with cooperative functions, for example, a television and a sound in a living room. The sound is used to play the sound of the television, so it is necessary to start only when the television is started. Based on this embodiment, the user can control the television and the sound to start or turn off at the same time to synchronously control the devices to be controlled with cooperative functions.

[0080] In some embodiments, the infrared light path in the smart wearable device is waterproof.

[0081] For example, the light-transmitting cover plate can be waterproofly sealed to ensure that the infrared light path does not cause the smart wearable device to leak water and cause damage to the internal circuit.

[0082] In some embodiments, when the infrared light path includes a light-transmitting cover plate, the light-transmitting cover plate is waterproof.

[0083] Since the infrared light path is located within the smart wearable device, most areas along the infrared light path will not experience water leakage. The area requiring waterproofing is the part of the infrared light path that comes into contact with the outside of the smart wearable device, namely the light-transmitting cover.

[0084] Therefore, the light-transmitting cover needs to be waterproofed to achieve a waterproof effect on the infrared light path.

[0085] In some embodiments, when the infrared light path is disposed on the bar tube and the crown, an adhesive surface formed by dispensing is provided around the area where the light-transmitting cover is disposed on the crown, and the light-transmitting cover covers the adhesive surface; when the infrared light path is disposed on the outer frame, an adhesive surface formed by dispensing is provided around the area where the light-transmitting cover is disposed on the outer frame, and the light-transmitting cover covers the adhesive surface.

[0086] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a light-transmitting cover plate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0087] like Figure 4 As shown, when the infrared light path is located in the bar tube and the crown, a light-transmitting cover plate needs to be placed over the hollow position of the crown corresponding to the bar tube. This light-transmitting cover plate can be connected to the crown by applying adhesive, with the adhesive surface located around the perimeter of the area covered by the cover plate, thereby preventing water from any direction from leaking into the infrared light path through the cover plate.

[0088] In some embodiments, when the infrared light path is located on the outer frame, adhesive can be applied around the area where the light-transmitting cover is located on the outer frame, and the light-transmitting cover can be placed over the area where the adhesive is applied, thereby preventing water leakage from the outer frame and preventing water from leaking into the smart wearable device from the area covered by the light-transmitting cover.

[0089] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting cover includes a sapphire glass lens.

[0090] Sapphire glass lenses are transparent crystalline materials manufactured using artificial synthesis techniques. Their main component is aluminum oxide, which exists in nature as the mineral sapphire. This material is highly hard, wear-resistant, and possesses extremely high light transmittance, hence the name sapphire glass lenses.

[0091] Sapphire glass lenses have a smooth surface and a pleasant feel. Water droplets do not easily remain on their surface, thus preventing water stains and stains, further improving waterproof performance and preventing leaks.

[0092] Figure 5 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. This control method is applicable to smart wearable devices as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0093] As Figure 5 shown, the method comprises:

[0094] In step S501, the type of the first to-be-controlled device is determined.

[0095] In step S502, the first encoding type of the infrared light is determined based on the type of the first to-be-controlled device and a first association relationship, wherein the first association relationship is an association relationship between the type of the to-be-controlled device and at least one encoding type of the infrared light used to control the to-be-controlled device.

[0096] In step S503, the infrared transmitter is controlled to emit the infrared light of the first encoding type.

[0097] In some embodiments, the type of the first to-be-controlled device is determined.

[0098] The type of the first to-be-controlled device includes but is not limited to air conditioners, televisions, lamps, sound systems, remote-controlled toy cars, etc. Specifically, the type can include not only the category of the first to-be-controlled device, but also the specific brand. Different brands of the same category of the first to-be-controlled device can belong to different types.

[0099] Since different brands and different products of the to-be-controlled device all use infrared light control, but the encoding types of the infrared light are different, and if the encoding type of the infrared light is not determined, it will be difficult to control the to-be-controlled device. Therefore, the type of the to-be-controlled device needs to be determined first to determine the corresponding encoding type thereof through the type of the to-be-controlled device.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first encoding type of the infrared light is determined based on the type of the first to-be-controlled device and a first association relationship, wherein the first association relationship is an association relationship between the type of the to-be-controlled device and at least one encoding type of the infrared light used to control the to-be-controlled device.

[0101] The first association relationship is an association relationship between the type of the to-be-controlled device and the corresponding encoding type of the infrared light. It should be noted that even the same brand and the same function product, different product models can still use different encoding types (for example, the infrared encoding types of the A brand hanging air conditioner and the A brand floor air conditioner can be different), therefore, the type of the to-be-controlled device and the encoding type are not a one-to-one correspondence, and the type of the to-be-controlled device can correspond to multiple possible encoding types.

[0102] Among the multiple possible encoding types, a first encoding type can be determined. Specifically, the first encoding type can be determined randomly; or the first encoding type can be determined according to the usage rate of the to-be-controlled device, and the encoding type corresponding to the to-be-controlled device model with the highest usage rate can be determined as the first encoding type; or the first encoding type can be determined by means of big data and other statistical methods, and the encoding type with the highest matching success rate can be determined as the first encoding type.

[0103] In some embodiments, after the first encoding type is determined, the infrared emitter is controlled to emit infrared light of the first encoding type.

[0104] The infrared emitter can be controlled by a control device in the smart wearable device. For example, the control device can encode the control instruction in the first encoding type, convert it into a specific electrical signal, which is converted into an infrared light signal after being received by the infrared emitter, and emitted.

[0105] It should be noted that the control instruction of the emitted infrared light of the first encoding type can be any control instruction, such as starting, turning off, increasing temperature, decreasing temperature, increasing volume, decreasing volume, etc. In some embodiments, since the user's control demand for the to-be-controlled device is usually the starting scene, the control instruction contained in the emitted infrared light of the first encoding type can be starting.

[0106] In some embodiments, the control instruction can also be a control instruction determined by the user.

[0107] For example, at least one control instruction can be displayed on the display screen of the smart wearable device, and after the user triggers the first control instruction, the first control instruction is emitted through the infrared light of the first encoding type.

[0108] Based on the present embodiment, after the type of the first to-be-controlled device is determined, the corresponding first encoding type can be determined based on the first association relationship, and the infrared light is emitted through the first encoding type to control the first to-be-controlled device, thereby realizing the control of the first to-be-controlled device by the smart wearable device.

[0109] Since the first to-be-controlled device can be associated with multiple encoding types, the first encoding type may not exactly match the first to-be-controlled device.

[0110] Figure 6 is a flowchart of a control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0111] As shown in Figure 6 In some embodiments, the method further comprises determining whether the first to-be-controlled device is controlled according to the instruction triggered by the user.

[0112] After the infrared light is emitted, the smart wearable device can prompt the user to determine whether the first to-be-controlled device is successfully controlled. Based on the instruction triggered by the user, it is determined whether the first to-be-controlled device is controlled.

[0113] For example, for the power-on control instruction, the smart wearable device can ask on the display screen whether the to-be-controlled device is powered on, and determine whether the first encoding type can be used to control the first to-be-controlled device according to the user's selection.

[0114] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: in a case where it is determined that the to-be-controlled device is not controlled, changing the encoding type of the infrared light to a second encoding type, and controlling the infrared emitter to emit infrared light of the second encoding type.

[0115] The second encoding type is any encoding type that has not been used to control the first to-be-controlled device and has a first association relationship with the first to-be-controlled device.

[0116] The encoding type can be changed and the infrared emitter can be controlled to emit infrared light again until the to-be-controlled device is controlled, so as to try to find an encoding type that can be used to control the first to-be-controlled device.

[0117] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: in a case where it is determined that the to-be-controlled device is controlled by the infrared light of the third encoding type, determining that the third encoding type is the infrared light that controls the to-be-controlled device, wherein the third encoding type is any encoding type in the first association relationship.

[0118] The third encoding type can be the first encoding type or the second encoding type. The third encoding type is any encoding type in the first association relationship that can be used to control the first to-be-controlled device.

[0119] If the first to-be-controlled device is controlled, it indicates that the third encoding type matches the first to-be-controlled device, and the user can control the first to-be-controlled device through a preset control instruction based on the third encoding type.

[0120] In some embodiments, the third encoding type that matches successfully can also be recorded with the first to-be-controlled device.

[0121] After recording, the user can directly control the to-be-controlled device by calling the third encoding type that matches successfully when controlling the first to-be-controlled device next time, without the need to try again.

[0122] Corresponding to the embodiments of the control method of the present disclosure, the present disclosure also provides corresponding embodiments of the control device.
