Problems solved by technology

The shortcomings of the first control method are obvious. The existence of multiple remote controls has brought great inconvenience to family members, and at the same time caused a waste of equipment. The emergence of the latter was born to solve this problem.
Now in the field of home appliance control technology, there has been a technology to control all home appliances through wireless communication through a universal remote control. Obviously this is an improvement, but it also brings a lot of problems. When there are multiple remote controls, A single remote control can only control one electrical appliance, which minimizes the occurrence of misuse, while a universal remote control will cause a large number of misoperations. When children at home play with the remote control without parental monitoring, it may even be Misoperation brings unpredictable consequences. At this time, the problem of how to set usage permissions for digital home appliances to minimize illegal operations needs to be solved urgently
