US 2017/0256160 A1 · METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SWITCHING AN OPERATING MODE OF A REMOTE CONTROLLER

Abstract

The disclosure provides a method and device for switching an operating mode of a remote controller so as to address the problem in the prior art of inconvenient operations of switching the mode of the remote controller to thereby improve the experience of a user. The method for switching an operating mode of a remote controller includes: receiving a first pairing instruction transmitted by a first remote controller in an infrared mode, wherein the first pairing instruction carries the first device identifier of the first remote controller; searching a list of stored device identifiers to determine whether the first device identifier is present in the list; if so, then performing a pairing flow, and the remote controller is switched to the radio mode after a successful paring; otherwise, rejecting the first pairing instruction.

Dependent claims

A method for switching an operating mode of a remote controller, the method comprising:

receiving a first pairing instruction transmitted by a first remote controller in an infrared mode, wherein the first pairing instruction carries a first device identifier of the first remote controller;
and
if the first device identifier is present in a list of stored device identifiers, then performing a pairing flow;
otherwise, rejecting the first pairing instruction.

1 more element

An electronic device, comprising:

at least one processor;
and
a memory communicably connected with the at least one processor for storing instructions executable by the at least one processor, wherein execution of the instructions by the at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:
receive a first pairing instruction transmitted by a first remote controller in an infrared mode, wherein the first pairing instruction carries a first device identifier of the first remote controller;
search a list of stored device identifiers to determine whether the first device identifier is present in the list;
and
perform a pairing flow if the searching unit locates the first device identifier;
and reject the first pairing instruction if the searching unit does not locate the first device identifier.
