Set top box capable of controlling traditional household appliance and control method

Abstract

The invention provides a set top box capable of controlling a traditional household appliance and a control method. The set top box comprises a remote control received key information processing module, an infrared signal modulating and transmitting module and a central processor system module, the remote control received key information processing module is used for receiving and processing a selecting control instruction of a user on the type of a target household appliance and an instruction of the user for operating the traditional household appliance, and the infrared signal modulating and transmitting module is used for carrying out remote control code coding and signal modulation according to the instruction of the user for operating the traditional household appliance, and then sending signals to the target household appliance. The central processor system module is used for calling corresponding remote control setting information in a remote control code database according to the selecting control instruction of the user for the type of the target household appliance and setting the sending frequency and the modulating mode of the infrared signal modulating and transmitting module according to the remote control setting information. The instructions sent by the user are analyzed, the control instruction on the traditional household appliance is formed intelligently, intelligent, flexible and multiple control and remote operations on the traditional household appliance are achieved, and the set top box is wide in application range, few in cost increase and very obvious in benefit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of using a set-top box to control the operation of traditional home appliances, in particular to a set-top box capable of controlling traditional home appliances and a control method. Background technique [0002] At present, there are still a large number of traditional home appliances (such as televisions, air conditioners) in many households. Due to the early design and production period of these traditional home appliances, the network and two-way functions are not considered, and they become islands of control and information. They can only use the old remote control configured by themselves to do simple and fixed operations. It is impossible to realize intelligent operation and remote operation according to the changing requirements of the external environment and users. As an increasingly used set-top box product, this product with flexible configuration and two-way communication capability c...
