Abstract
This invention provides a method and a device for controlling switch between appliances. The method includes: setting a group of control signals according to operations to be performed by appliances involved in a switch between a current appliance and a target appliance; and controlling the appliances involved in the switch between the current appliance and the target appliance to perform operations corresponding to the group of control signals, when the switch is triggered. The method simplifies the operation of switch between appliances in a multi-appliance environment and enables one appliance switching key to control multiple appliances.
Claims13
A method for controlling switch between appliances, comprising:
- defining functions of the appliance switching keys each of which corresponds to one controlled appliance;
- detecting whether one appliance switching key is triggered;
- sending a group of control signals to appliances involved in a switch between a current appliance and a target appliance and switching current appliance control to target appliance control when detecting that the appliance switching key is triggered;
- wherein the group of control signals are configured to control the appliances involved in the switch to implement functions needed in the switch;
- and
- enabling the target appliance control of the remote controller.
A device for controlling switch between appliances, configured to implement the method comprising:
- defining functions of the appliance switching keys each of which corresponds to one controlled appliance;
- detecting whether one appliance switching key is triggered;
- sending a group of control signals to appliances involved in a switch between a current appliance and a target appliance and switch current appliance control to target appliance control when detecting that the appliance switching key is triggered;
- wherein the group of control signals are configured to control the appliances involved in the switch to implement functions needed in the switch;
- and
- enabling the target appliance control of the remote controller.
A system for controlling switch between appliances, comprising:
- a remote controller and appliances involved in a switch between a current appliance and a target appliance;
- wherein the remote controller is configured to implement a method of
- defining functions of the appliance switching keys each of which corresponds to one controlled appliance;
- detecting whether one appliance switching key is triggered;
- sending a group of control signals to the appliances involved in the switch between the current appliance and the target appliance and switch current appliance control to target appliance control when detecting that the appliance switching key is triggered;
- wherein
- the group of control signals are configured to control the appliances involved in the switch to implement functions needed in the switch, and
- the appliances involved in the switch between the current appliance and the target appliance are further configured to receive the group of control signals and implement the functions needed in the switch under the control of the group of control signals;
- and
- enabling the target appliance control of the remote controller.
