[0075] Furthermore, the physical buttons can respond to user operations and control the functions of the audio playback device. That is, users can control the functions of the audio playback device through multiple physical buttons. In actual settings, the multiple physical buttons can be set as volume control buttons, sound effect adjustment buttons, playback start / stop buttons, and playback order control buttons, etc.

[0076] In this way, users can adjust the volume, sound effects, and playback order of audio playback devices through the remote control 100, and can adjust multiple audio playback devices with one remote control 100, which can improve the convenience of use, make it simple and intuitive, improve the user experience.

[0077] To accurately describe the location of the physical buttons, we first define the top, bottom, left, and right orientation information of the remote control housing 1 in this embodiment. The remote control housing 1 has a front and a back. In this embodiment, all physical buttons are located on the front of the remote control housing 1. However, it should be understood that in other embodiments, some physical buttons may be located on the back or sides of the remote control housing 1. When the user is facing the front of the remote control housing 1, from the user's perspective, the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the remote control housing 1 correspond to the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the user's line of sight, respectively.

[0078] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the remote control 100 is equipped with physical buttons on the remote control housing 1, which allows users to control the audio playback device through the remote control 100. It is highly flexible and can increase the applicable scenarios. The physical buttons make the operation more intuitive and can improve the convenience of operation, thereby improving the user experience, the effect of use, and the scope of application.

[0079] In some embodiments, the remote controller 100 further includes a signal processing component, which processes the user's operation signal to obtain an audio playback device control signal, which controls the audio playback device accordingly.

[0080] Specifically, the remote controller 100 may also include a signal processing component. This component can be electrically connected to the physical keys. When a user operates the physical keys, the operation information is transmitted to the signal processing component, which processes the operation information to obtain an audio playback device control signal. For example, when a user presses the physical key used to control the volume, the key transmits the operation information to the signal processing component, which processes the information to obtain a control signal for adjusting the volume of the audio playback device. This allows the remote controller 100 to adjust the volume of the audio playback device via the control signal, thus enabling the remote controller 100 to control the audio playback device's functions and improve intelligent operation.

[0081] In some embodiments, the remote controller 100 further includes a display module mounted on the front of the remote controller housing 1. At least a portion of the display module can be configured as a touch area; that is, a portion of the display module can be configured as a touch area, or the entire display module can be configured as a touch area. The remote controller 100 is equipped with an operating system, within which users can install application software such as a music player. The user interface of the operating system is displayed on the display module. By touching the display module, users can select or activate user interface elements displayed on the display module, thereby controlling the operating system and application software within the remote controller 100.

[0082] In addition, a transparent panel 7 is provided on the outside of the display module to protect the display module and ensure the reliability of the remote control 100. The transparent panel 7 can be made of glass, acrylic, or other materials. In this embodiment, the surface of the transparent panel 7 facing away from the display module is flush with the front of the remote control 100, which improves aesthetics, makes the transparent panel 7 less susceptible to damage from bumps, and prevents the protruding edges of the transparent panel 7 from scratching the user.

[0083] When a user controls the music player using the physical buttons on the remote control 100, the display module can show the content being played by the music player. When the user adjusts the content being played by the music player using the physical buttons on the remote control 100, the display module can display the adjustment simultaneously, thus clearly showing the playback status of the music player and improving ease of use.

[0084] In some embodiments, the remote controller 100 further includes a device connection component for selectively connecting to at least one audio playback device.

[0085] Specifically, the remote controller 100 is also equipped with a device connection component, which is installed inside the remote controller housing 1. The device connection component can be fixed to the inner wall of the remote controller housing 1 by means of connectors or snap-fits to ensure the reliability of the device connection component. The device connection component is used to selectively connect with at least one audio playback device, that is, the device connection component can selectively connect with one, two or three audio playback devices, and then the remote controller 100 can remotely control the connected audio playback devices. This allows the remote controller 100 to remotely control multiple audio playback devices through the device connection component, thereby increasing the usage scenarios of the remote controller 100. That is, when a user has multiple audio playback devices and multiple audio playback devices are playing different audio, the user can conveniently control multiple audio playback devices through the remote controller 100, which can improve the ease of use.

[0086] In this way, the remote control 100 can selectively connect to multiple audio playback devices through the device connection component. After the remote control 100 is connected to the audio playback device, the user can control the audio playback device by clicking the physical button on the remote control 100, which makes it convenient for the user to operate the audio playback device and adjust it in real time according to the user's needs, thereby improving the user experience.

[0087] In some embodiments, the device connection components include a wireless connection module and / or a wired connection module, wherein the wireless connection module is used to wirelessly connect to the audio playback device, and the wired connection module is used to wirely connect to the audio playback device.

[0088] Specifically, the device connection component includes a wireless connection module and / or a wired connection module. That is, the device connection component may include only a wireless connection module, only a wired connection module, or both a wireless connection module and a wired connection module. In this embodiment, the device connection component includes both a wireless connection module and a wired connection module.

[0089] Furthermore, the wired connection module can be used for electrical connection with an audio playback device. This means the remote control 100 can be equipped with a connection jack or similar structure, allowing the remote control 100 to be electrically connected to the audio playback device via a connecting cable. Users can then control the audio playback device connected via the remote control 100. The wireless connection module is used for wireless connection with the audio playback device. Specifically, the remote control 100 can wirelessly connect to the audio playback device via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, allowing users to control the wirelessly connected audio playback device via the remote control 100.

[0090] In this way, the applicability of the remote control 100 can be expanded to be compatible with different types of audio playback devices. Furthermore, the wired connection module can prevent the remote control 100 from being affected by wireless networks and Bluetooth signals, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the remote control 100 and the audio playback device. The wireless connection module can avoid the impact of cable length on the operating distance, improve the flexibility of use, meet different user needs, and enhance the user experience.

[0091] In some embodiments, the wireless connectivity module includes a Bluetooth antenna, and the physical key includes a spring-loaded Bluetooth pairing key 27. The Bluetooth antenna is adapted to wirelessly connect to an audio playback device when the Bluetooth pairing key 27 is triggered.

[0092] Specifically, the remote control 100 can wirelessly connect to the audio playback device via a wireless connection module, and the wireless connection module includes a Bluetooth antenna, enabling the remote control 100 to pair with the audio playback device via Bluetooth, thereby allowing the remote control 100 to wirelessly connect to the audio playback device, and so on. Figure 1 and Figures 3-4 As shown, the physical key can be equipped with a Bluetooth pairing key 27, and multiple Bluetooth pairing keys 27 can be set, that is, there can be one, two or three Bluetooth pairing keys 27, etc. The Bluetooth pairing key 27 can be set as a spring-loaded press key, or in actual settings, the Bluetooth pairing key 27 can be set as a toggle key, etc.

[0093] The Bluetooth antenna can wirelessly connect to the audio playback device. If the remote control 100 has not yet been paired with the audio playback device, when wirelessly connecting to the audio playback device, the remote control 100 can be controlled by the operating system within the remote control 100 to first pair with the audio playback device via Bluetooth. Then, a Bluetooth pairing button 27 can be associated with the audio playback device from the operating system within the remote control 100. After that, when the user triggers the Bluetooth pairing button 27, the remote control 100 can directly connect to the audio playback device associated with the Bluetooth pairing button 27, which simplifies the steps of connecting the audio playback device and improves ease of use.

[0094] In some embodiments, the number of Bluetooth pairing keys 27 is at least two, and the at least two Bluetooth pairing keys 27 are respectively paired with at least two audio playback devices. The Bluetooth antenna is adapted to wirelessly connect with the corresponding audio playback device when the Bluetooth pairing key 27 is triggered.

[0095] Specifically, at least two Bluetooth pairing keys 27 are configured, meaning there can be two, three, or four Bluetooth pairing keys 27, and each of the at least two Bluetooth pairing keys 27 is paired with at least two audio playback devices, meaning that at least two Bluetooth pairing keys 27 can be paired with at least two audio playback devices. In this embodiment, for example... Figure 1 and Figures 3-4As shown, there are three Bluetooth pairing keys 27, which are spaced apart so that each Bluetooth pairing key 27 can be paired with a corresponding audio playback device. Each Bluetooth pairing key 27 is electrically connected to a Bluetooth antenna, so that when a user triggers a Bluetooth pairing key 27, the remote control 100 can wirelessly connect to the audio playback device corresponding to the triggered Bluetooth pairing key 27 through the Bluetooth antenna.

[0096] Furthermore, during the initial connection, each Bluetooth pairing button 27 can be associated with an audio playback device. In subsequent use, when the user triggers the Bluetooth pairing button 27, the remote control 100 wirelessly connects to the audio playback device associated with that Bluetooth pairing button 27. This allows the remote control 100 to control different audio playback devices when the user triggers different Bluetooth pairing buttons 27, improving ease of use and enhancing the user experience.

[0097] In actual use, different remote controls 100 can be selected according to the number of audio playback devices to be connected. For example, in home use, where there are fewer audio playback devices, a remote control 100 with only a few Bluetooth pairing buttons 27 can be selected; while in shopping malls or speaker dealerships, where there are more audio playback devices to be connected, a remote control 100 with more Bluetooth pairing buttons 27 can be selected.

[0098] In some embodiments, the remote control housing 1 has a front and a back side. The Bluetooth pairing button 27 is located on the front of the remote control housing 1, specifically at the upper right corner. From the user's perspective, the side of the remote control housing 1 facing the user is the front, and the side away from the user is the back. The Bluetooth pairing button 27 is located on the front of the remote control housing 1, meaning it is on the side facing the user, allowing the user to directly observe and operate the remote control 100. Furthermore, the Bluetooth pairing button 27 is only used for Bluetooth pairing. Positioning it at the upper right corner of the remote control housing 1 avoids interference with frequently used areas of the remote control 100, improving its ease of use.

[0099] In some embodiments, the remote control housing 1 has a first mounting hole 111 for mounting a Bluetooth pairing button 27. The Bluetooth pairing button 27 is movably engaged with the first mounting hole 111. A first touch switch 272 is provided inside the remote control housing 1 at a position corresponding to the Bluetooth pairing button 27. When the Bluetooth pairing button 27 is pressed, the Bluetooth pairing button 27 triggers the first touch switch 272.

[0100] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the remote control housing 1 is provided with a first mounting hole 111, which is correspondingly set with the Bluetooth pairing button 27. That is, there are at least two Bluetooth pairing buttons 27 and at least two first mounting holes 111. The at least two Bluetooth pairing buttons 27 and the at least two first mounting holes 111 are set one-to-one. The Bluetooth pairing button 27 can be movably engaged with the first mounting hole 111, so that after the Bluetooth pairing button 27 is installed in the remote control housing 1, the user can press the Bluetooth pairing button 27. The remote control housing 1 is provided with a first tactile switch 272, which is correspondingly set with the Bluetooth pairing button 27, and each Bluetooth pairing button 27 is provided with a corresponding first tactile switch 272.

[0101] Thus, when the user triggers the Bluetooth pairing button 27, that is, when the user presses the Bluetooth pairing button 27, the first touch switch 272 is turned on. At this time, the remote control 100 wirelessly connects to the audio playback device associated with the Bluetooth pairing button 27. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0102] In some embodiments, the remote control housing 1 is provided with at least one first elastic element 273 for pushing the Bluetooth pairing button 27 to rebound outward from the remote control housing 1. The Bluetooth pairing button 27 is connected to a first limiting block 271 located inside the remote control housing 1. When the Bluetooth pairing button 27 is not pressed, the first limiting block 271 abuts against the inner wall of the remote control housing 1 to prevent the Bluetooth pairing button 27 from disengaging from the first mounting hole 111.

[0103] Specifically, the remote control housing 1 is provided with at least one first elastic element 273, that is, the first elastic element 273 can be one, two, or three, etc. In this embodiment, for example... Figures 4-5 As shown, each Bluetooth pairing button 27 is provided with two first elastic elements 273. The first elastic elements 273 can be used to push the Bluetooth pairing button 27 to rebound outward from the remote control housing 1. That is, when the user presses the Bluetooth pairing button 27, the Bluetooth pairing button 27 can overcome the resistance of the first elastic elements 273 to move and trigger the first tactile switch 272, so that the remote control 100 can wirelessly connect with the audio playback device corresponding to the triggered Bluetooth pairing button 27 through the Bluetooth antenna. When the user removes the pressing pressure, the Bluetooth pairing button 27 can be reset under the elastic force of the first elastic elements 273 to ensure reliable use.

[0104] In addition, such as Figure 4As shown, the Bluetooth pairing button 27 is provided with a first limiting block 271.

When the remote control 100 is connected to the audio playback device via Bluetooth, the user can control the audio playback using the media control buttons 25. For example, the media control buttons 25 can be set as play / pause, next track, or previous track buttons. Users can also control the playback order of audio files using the media control buttons 25, improving ease of use. Furthermore, in actual settings, another portion of the multiple media control buttons 25 can be set as volume adjustment buttons, etc., allowing for flexible adjustments based on usage needs and habits.

[0109] In this embodiment, the media control keys 25 include a first control key 251 and a second control key 252 of different sizes. The length of the first control key 251 is more than twice the length of the second control key 252, or the area of ​​the first control key 251 is more than twice the area of ​​the second control key 252. The larger area of ​​the first control key 251 makes it more conspicuous. The larger first control key 251 can serve as a play / pause button, which is a commonly used control key. Therefore, setting the size of the first control key 251 to be larger facilitates user operation. The smaller second control key 252 serves as a previous or next track button to switch between songs.

[0110] For larger buttons, such as the first control button 251, pressing it may cause it to tilt to one side, potentially leading to jamming. To ensure the button falls smoothly when pressed and rebounds stably after pressure is released, the remote control housing 1 includes at least one guide cylinder 18 extending along the direction of the button's displacement when pressed. A guide post, which engages with the guide cylinder 18, is located on the side of the button facing inwards. The guide post is inserted into and slides within the guide cylinder 18. This engagement guides the button to slide smoothly, preventing tilting and jamming. (For example, see attached...) Figure 4 In this configuration, the first control key 251 is positioned by a guide post (not shown in the figure) in conjunction with the guide cylinder 18. By configuring two sets of mutually cooperating guide posts and guide cylinders 18, the two sets of guide posts and guide cylinders 18 are arranged along the length direction of the first control key 251, thereby ensuring that the first control key 251 will not be misaligned or jammed.
