Voice Control Mobile Terminal for Appliance Remote Operation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing manual remote control methods for household appliances are inconvenient, inefficient, and provide a poor user experience, especially when users need to search for specific channels or programs without knowing the channel numbers and cannot easily return to previous channels.
Innovation Solution
A remote control mobile terminal equipped with a voice recognition module and a remote control module that allows users to input voice control instructions to control connected appliances, enabling voice-enabled pairing, code acquisition, and direct program or function switching without manual operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual remote control methods are used, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates due to cumbersome channel searching and switching operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical button pressing with voice recognition technology. The voice recognition module captures and processes spoken commands, converting them into control signals that operate the remote controlled object, thereby eliminating the need for manual button pressing and channel searching.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that stores program information and assists in resolving control instructions. The server acts as a mediator between the user's voice command and the remote controlled object, providing program matching and control signal generation capabilities.
2Productivity
If manual channel searching is used, then device complexity is reduced, but loss of time increases due to continuous channel number adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by having the server store program information in advance and pre-process control instructions. When a user issues a voice command, the server has already prepared the necessary program data and can quickly match it with the requested program, eliminating the need for time-consuming channel-by-channel searching.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional remote control is used, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability deteriorates due to inability to return to previous channels
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the server stores historical program information and user viewing preferences. The system analyzes past viewing behavior and provides intelligent recommendations, allowing users to easily return to previously viewed channels or programs based on their viewing history.
4Ease of operation
If voice recognition module is added, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional modules
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the voice recognition module and server to perform multiple functions. The voice recognition module not only captures commands but also processes natural language to extract program names and other control parameters. The server stores program information, processes control instructions, and generates appropriate control signals, making it a multi-functional system that handles various remote control tasks.

AI summary
Disclosed in the present invention are a remote control mobile terminal, a remote control system and a remote control method. A voice recognition module and a remote control module are arranged in the remote control mobile terminal; the voice recognition module receives a voice control command input by a user, obtains a corresponding remote control command according to the voice control command and sends the remote control command to the remote control module; the remote control module sends the remote control command to a remotely controlled object (such as an air conditioner, a television, a set-top box, etc.) to control the remotely controlled object. It is thus clear that the solution provided in the present invention can realize voice remote control over the remotely controlled object on the remote control mobile terminal, without the need that the user has to manually perform the remote control operation; remote control can be realized by means of voices when manual operation by the user cannot be readily completed, and the convenience of remote control operation can be improved accordingly; and meanwhile, due to the possibility of direct voice remote control, the user is able to perform switching operation through voice commands before various programs are played, rather than search and switch programs or channels one by one; thus, the efficiency of remote control is improved to a greater extent and the degree of satisfaction in user experience is increased as well.
