Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of remote control technology, and in particular to an elderly-friendly set-top box remote control with large buttons. Background Technology

[0002] A set-top box is a small electronic device that connects to a television. Its main function is to receive signals from different sources and convert them into audio and video content that the television can play. The set-top box remote control is the tool used to control the set-top box. It communicates with the set-top box via infrared or Bluetooth signals and sends user commands.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN202220923020.6 discloses an anti-loss TV remote control for the elderly. The design uses a buffer component to cushion the mounting plate and the buzzer on the mounting plate. This buffering of the mounting plate protects the buzzer from damage during the remote control's slippage and impact, thus facilitating the anti-loss use of the remote control.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following drawbacks. Although such a set-top box remote control structure can prevent loss through a buzzer, in actual use, the buzzer still requires getting up to look for it. To more easily and conveniently prevent the remote control from being easily lost, and to solve the problems of small button area, low font recognition, and poor grip comfort that are common in existing remote controls, which make it difficult for elderly people with declining vision and hand dexterity to use, and to solve the problem of inconvenient battery replacement that further reduces the user experience, an elderly-friendly set-top box remote control with large buttons is proposed.

[0005] In view of this, this work improves and solves the above problems. Through dedicated research and application of theoretical principles, a technical solution with a reasonable design that can effectively improve the above defects has finally been proposed.

[0006] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the general background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model provides an age-friendly set-top box remote control with large buttons, which solves the problems mentioned in the background above. It addresses the common issues of small button area, low font readability, poor grip comfort, and difficulty in use for elderly people with declining vision and hand dexterity. It also solves the problems of remote control being easy to lose and inconvenient battery replacement, further improving the user experience for the elderly.

[0008] The present invention provides the following solution to the above-mentioned technical problems: A set-top box remote control with large buttons for the elderly, comprising a remote control body and a matching charging base. The remote control body adopts an anti-slip shell, independent silicone buttons, and a rechargeable lithium battery compartment. The independent silicone buttons and the rechargeable lithium battery compartment are both disposed on the anti-slip shell. The anti-slip shell is provided with an anti-detachment connecting rope. The matching charging base is provided with an elastic anti-loss rope. The elastic anti-loss rope and the anti-detachment connecting rope are detachably connected. The matching charging base can charge the remote control body. The remote control body and the matching charging base can be magnetically connected. The matching charging base is provided with a silicone suction cup.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0010] Furthermore, the anti-slip outer shell is made of ABS injection molding and the surface is treated with a frosted texture, which can significantly improve the anti-slip properties.

[0011] Furthermore, the back of the anti-slip shell is designed with an arc-shaped ridge that conforms to the curve of the palm, and concave finger grooves on both sides, which can significantly improve hand grip comfort.

[0012] Furthermore, the independent silicone button has a key surface diameter of ≥12mm, a button surface protrusion height of 3mm, bold black text printed in the center, font size ≥5, dark gray background with white text and high contrast, and an area 45-50% larger than that of a standard remote control. The power, volume, and channel areas are additionally increased by 15%, making it easier to identify key function keys. The large silicone button, combined with the protrusion design and extra-large font, can reduce the operating threshold for visually impaired users, thereby improving operability and recognizability.

[0013] Furthermore, the rechargeable lithium battery compartment is provided with charging contacts, and the inclined charging groove is provided with elastic charging pins, which correspond to the charging contacts to achieve contact charging.

[0014] Furthermore, the elastic anti-loss rope and the anti-detachment connecting rope can be connected by a buckle, which facilitates the disassembly of the elastic anti-loss rope and the anti-detachment connecting rope.

[0015] Furthermore, the matching charging base is provided with an inclined charging groove, which is adapted to the contour of the remote control body, so that the remote control body can be stably placed on the matching charging base.

[0016] Furthermore, the remote control body is provided with an iron plate, and the matching charging base is provided with a magnetic strip corresponding to the iron plate, so that the remote control body and the matching charging base can be magnetically connected.

[0017] Furthermore, the remote control body is equipped with a circuit board containing a microcontroller, an oscillator, a matrix circuit, a signal transmitter, and indicator lights. The circuit board containing the microcontroller, oscillator, matrix circuit, signal transmitter, and indicator lights are installed inside an anti-slip housing, which can prevent damage to the internal components.

[0018] This utility model provides an elderly-friendly set-top box remote control with large buttons, which has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. The frosted leather texture, curved ridges, and finger groove design significantly improve hand grip comfort and anti-slip properties, thereby enhancing grip stability;

[0020] 2. The use of large silicone buttons with a raised design and extra-large font reduces the operating threshold for visually impaired users, thereby effectively optimizing the operation and recognition.

[0021] 3. It is equipped with a suction cup charging base for fixing the position, and the set-top box remote control is physically restrained by an anti-loss rope, which can provide a simpler anti-loss function and is more suitable for the elderly to find and use. The combination structure of magnetic and contact charging can simplify the operation process.

[0022] 4. The injection-molded ABS shell is impact-resistant, the silicone buttons have a long lifespan, and the contact charging eliminates the need for frequent battery replacements, effectively increasing the durability of the set-top box remote control.
