An acceleration generated according to the movement is determined as being smaller or greater than a predetermined threshold value. If the acceleration is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value, a control instruction is generated. The control instruction is transmitted to an electronic device via a wireless network module of the mobile device to trigger a preset switch operation between the mobile device and the electronic device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A remote control method applied in a mobile device, the method comprising: detecting a movement of the mobile device via an acceleration sensor internally installed in the mobile device; determining whether an acceleration generated according to the movement is less than a predetermined threshold value; generating a control instruction according to the movement if the acceleration is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold value; and transmitting the control instruction to an electronic device via a wireless network module of the mobile device, thereby triggering a preset switch operation between the mobile device and the electronic device according to the control instruction. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The remote control method of claim 1, wherein the preset switch operation comprises: transmitting, by the electronic device, setting data related to multimedia contents being currently played on the electronic device to the mobile device according to the control instruction when the mobile device acts in an operating state; and taking over and continuing, by the mobile device, a playback of the multimedia contents according to the setting data when the mobile device obtains the setting data. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The remote control method of claim 2, wherein the setting data comprises a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address and a playback point of the multimedia contents. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The remote control method of claim 1, wherein the preset switch operation comprises: transmitting, by the mobile device, setting data related to multimedia contents being currently played on the mobile device to the electronic device according to the control instruction when the mobile device acts in a playing state; and taking over and continuing, by the electronic device, a playback of the multimedia contents according to the setting data when the electronic device obtains the setting data. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The remote control method of claim 4, wherein the setting data comprises a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address and a playback point of the multimedia contents. ### Claim 6 A remote control system, the system comprising: an electronic device; and a mobile device comprising: an acceleration sensor; and a wireless network module; the mobile device configured to detect a movement thereof via the accelerator sensor, determine whether an acceleration generated according to the movement is less than a predetermined threshold value, generate a control instruction according to the movement if the acceleration is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold value, and transmit the control instruction to the electronic device via the wireless network module, thereby triggering a preset switch operation between the mobile device and the electronic device according to the control instruction. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The remote control system of claim 6, wherein: the electronic device is configured to, in response to the preset switch operation, transmit setting data related to multimedia contents being currently played on the electronic device to the mobile device according to the control instruction when the mobile device acts in an operating state; and the mobile device is further configured to take over and continue a playback of the multimedia contents according to the setting data when the mobile device obtains the setting data. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The remote control system of claim 7, wherein the setting data comprises a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address and a playback point of the multimedia contents. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The remote control system of claim 6, wherein: the mobile device is further configured to, when the mobile device acts in a playing state, transmit setting data related to multimedia contents being currently played on the mobile device to the electronic device according to the control instruction; and the electronic device is configured to take over and continue a playback of the multimedia contents according to the setting data when the electronic device obtains the setting data. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The remote control system of claim 9, wherein the setting data comprises a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address and a playback point of the multimedia contents. ### Claim 11 A mobile device, comprising: a hardware layer, comprising an acceleration sensor and a wireless network module; a system library unit, comprising an acceleration library unit; and a remote control unit configured to detect a movement of the mobile device via the acceleration sensor, determine whether an acceleration generated according to the movement is less than a predetermined threshold value via the acceleration library unit, generate a control instruction according to the movement if the acceleration is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold value, and transmit the control instruction to a target application installed in an electronic device via the wireless network module, thereby triggering a preset switch operation between the mobile device and the electronic device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The mobile device of claim 11, wherein when the mobile device acts in an operating state and in response to the preset switch operation the target application transmits setting data related to multimedia contents being currently played on the electronic device to the remote control unit according to the control instruction, the remote control unit is further configured to obtain the setting data via the wireless network module and take over and continue a playback of the multimedia contents according to the setting data. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The mobile device of claim 12, wherein the setting data comprises a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address and a playback point of the multimedia contents. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The mobile device of claim 11, wherein the remote control unit is further configured to, when the mobile device acts in a playing state, transmit setting data related to multimedia contents being currently played on the mobile device to the target application via the wireless network module according to the control instruction, and the setting data is data that enables the electronic device to take over and continue a playback of the multimedia contents. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The mobile device of claim 14, wherein the setting data comprises a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address and a playback point of the multimedia contents.
