Abstract:
A home appliance includes a controlled assembly, a control module, and a signal converter. The control module is electrically connected to the controlled assembly, and the control module has a port for receiving an electrical signal. The control module controls the controlled assembly according to the electrical signal received through the port. The signal converter receives a wireless control signal, and converts the wireless control signal into the electrical signal to be transmitted to the port. The signal converter is selected from a plurality of signal converters which respectively convert signals of different types. While assembling, the signal converter is connected to the port, which makes the control module and the connected signal converter constitute a control device of the home appliance. Whereby, the inventory pressure of control devices can be reduced for manufacturers.
Abstract:
A remote control system includes a control signal source, a signal converter, a first electric appliance, a second electric appliance, and a third electric appliance. The control signal source sends out WiFi signals which contain control commands. The signal converter converts the WiFi signals into Bluetooth signals, RF signals, or IR signals, wherein these signals are respectively transmitted to a Bluetooth transceiver, an RF transceiver, and an IR transmitter which are respectively installed in the electric appliances to operate the electric appliances.
Abstract:
A wireless control system for controlling a plurality of electric elements, includes a control signal generator, at least a converting device, and a plurality of controlling devices. The control signal generator generates a Wi-Fi control signal and sends it to the converting device. The converting device converts the Wi-Fi control signal into a radio frequency control signal, and sends the radio frequency control signal to the controlling devices. The controlling devices are connected to the electric elements respectively to receive the radio frequency control signal from the converting device and control the electric elements accordingly.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a remote controlled system includes the steps: A. measuring a specific physical quantity with a detector; B. transmitting a signal to the relay apparatus; C. receiving the signal by the relay apparatus, and transmitting the detector ID code corresponding to the detector at the near end and the home appliance ID codes corresponding to the home appliances at the near end to the electronic device; D. obtaining an interactive link information by matching the corresponding relations in the database based on the received detector ID code and the received home appliance ID codes; E. sending the interactive link information to the relay apparatus; and F. transmitting a control command to the relevant home appliances base on the received interactive link information, whereby the relevant home appliances are controlled to perform a corresponding operation.
Abstract:
A method of setting a user interface of a remote control system includes the following steps: A. set a first region on a screen of an electronic device; B. arrange at least a device icon at a predetermined position of the first region, wherein the device icon represents one of electric appliances to be controlled; and C. select the device icon in the first region to generate a control window for a user to operate to control the corresponding electric appliance. Using space compatibility and virtual reality, the user may be easy to recognize the electric appliance for control.
Abstract:
A Wi-Fi/radio frequency (RF) converting device includes a Wi-Fi transceiver, a multiplexing converting module, and a RF transceiver. The Wi-Fi transceiver receives a Wi-Fi control signal from a control signal generator. The multiplexing converting module receives the Wi-Fi control signal from the Wi-Fi transceiver and converts the Wi-Fi control signal into a RF control signal. The RF transceiver receives the RF control signal from the multiplexing converting module and sends the RF control signal to a plurality of electric elements. An RF extension device may be provided to share the signal transmission between the electric elements and the Wi-Fi/RF converting device
Abstract:
A method of providing operating options of an electric appliance is applied in a wireless system, which includes a portable device, an electric appliance, and a relay apparatus. The portable device and the relay apparatus are connected to each other within either a near-end network or a far-end network. The electric appliance communicates with the relay apparatus, and has a plurality of operating options which can be selected to operate the electric appliance. If the portable device and the relay apparatus are connected within the near-end network, all of the operating options are displayed on the portable device for selection; if it's within the far-end network, a part of the operating options are disabled on the portable device for selection.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a remote controlled system includes the steps of: A. establishing corresponding relationships between a detector and home appliances; B. measuring a specific physical quantity with the detector; C. determining if the measured physical quantity is abnormal; and D. controlling the corresponding home appliances to perform certain operations according to the corresponding relationships if the measured physical quantity is abnormal, whereby, the physical quantity measured by a common detector can be feedbacked to multiple home appliances, which effectively reduces the number of the required detectors.
Abstract:
A method of obtaining data of a home appliance, which includes the following steps: Sense the home appliance to obtain running data, and transmit the running data to an interpreter; save the running data in a memory of the interpreter as a plurality of history logs; connect a specific electronic device to the interpreter via a network; send a retrieval command to the interpreter; transmit at least one history log to the electronic device according to the retrieval command. With such design, repairmen can only obtain the history logs which are helpful for repairing and maintenance under authentication.
