In this embodiment, a method for reminding a position of a remote control device is provided, and fig. 2 is a first flowchart of the method for reminding a position of a remote control device according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the process includes the following steps:

step S202, receiving a control instruction, wherein the control instruction is used for controlling a target device to execute an operation corresponding to the control instruction;

step S204, determining the equipment for sending the control instruction;

step S206, under the condition that the equipment is the target equipment, sending a position reminding instruction to remote control equipment which establishes communication connection with the target equipment so as to instruct the remote control equipment to execute reminding operation based on the position reminding instruction.

In the above-described embodiment, the target device may be a television, an air conditioner, or the like, which can be controlled by a remote control device, and a control button for controlling the target device is also integrated in the target device. The user can send a control instruction to the target device through the remote control device, and also can send the control instruction to the target device through a control button on the target device.

In the above embodiment, the target device may establish a communication connection with the remote control device, where the communication connection may include connection modes such as a bluetooth connection, a WIFI connection, and an infrared connection. The target device may establish a connection with the remote control device in advance. When the remote control equipment is Bluetooth remote control equipment, the Bluetooth is bidirectional communication, and after the target equipment is matched with the Bluetooth, the target equipment can be automatically matched and connected after being started every time, namely, Bluetooth connection is established.

In the above embodiment, when the target device is a television, the user normally uses a remote controller (i.e., a remote control device) to operate the television, and the user may not consider using the body keys of the television for control unless no remote control is found. This is also the usage habit of most users. Therefore, when the user controls the television by using the television key, the user can basically think that the user can not find the remote control at this time. At this point, a location alert instruction may be sent. After receiving the position sending instruction, the remote control device can execute a reminding operation, and a user can find the remote control device through the reminding operation.

Optionally, the executing subject of the above steps may be the target device.

According to the invention, after the control instruction is received, the equipment for sending the control instruction is determined, and under the condition that the equipment is the target equipment, the position reminding instruction is sent to the remote control equipment which is in communication connection with the target equipment so as to instruct the remote control equipment to execute the reminding operation according to the position reminding instruction. When the device sending the control command is determined to be the target device, the command for searching the remote control device can be initiated in time. Therefore, when the user cannot find the remote control device, the user can send a control instruction to the target device through the target device, so that the operation of finding the remote control device is actively triggered. Therefore, the problems that the operation of searching the remote control equipment is not timely and the user cannot actively trigger the operation of searching the remote control equipment in the related technology can be solved, the effect that the user can actively and timely trigger the operation of searching the remote control equipment is achieved, and the user experience is improved.

In one exemplary embodiment, sending a location alert instruction to a remote control device that establishes a communication connection with the target device includes: determining an instruction type of the control instruction; and sending a position reminding instruction to the remote control equipment which establishes communication connection with the target equipment under the condition that the instruction type indicates that the control instruction is other instructions except a shutdown instruction. In this embodiment, the instruction type of the control instruction may be determined, and when the instruction type indicates that the control instruction is an instruction other than the shutdown instruction, the position reminding instruction is sent to the remote control device. When the instruction type indicates that the control instruction is a shutdown instruction, even the instruction sent by the target device does not need to send a position reminding instruction.

In the above embodiment, when the current state of the target device is the power-off state, the first operation after the user finds the remote control is power-on. If the remote control device is in the on state, the user can change the current settings, such as channel change, volume adjustment, mode adjustment, etc., after looking for the remote control device. If the current television is in the power-on state. The television receives a key operation event (i.e., a control command, possibly from a remote control device or a television key). The source of the key event can be judged, if the key event comes from the remote control device, the remote control device is in the hand of the user, and the user does not need to find the remote control device. If the key event is from the target device, indicating that the remote control device is not in the user's hand and most likely the user cannot find the remote control device, the target device may send a message (i.e., a location reminder instruction) to the remote control device via bluetooth communication. And after receiving the message, the remote control equipment immediately makes a sound to remind the user of the position of the remote control equipment. After the user finds the remote control device, the user presses any key by using the remote control device, and the remote control device stops sounding. If the current target equipment is in a power-off state, the current operation of the user can be only power-on, the power-on can be triggered by the remote control equipment and the television key, if the current target equipment is in the power-off state, the remote control equipment is in the hand of the user, and the user does not need to find the remote control equipment. If the remote control device is started up through the key of the target device, the fact that the remote control device is not in the hand of the user at present is shown, and the user can not find the remote control device. When the starting time of the intelligent equipment is longer, the system is started up and matched with the remote control equipment, and after Bluetooth communication is established, the intelligent equipment immediately sends a message to the remote control equipment. And after receiving the message, the remote control equipment immediately makes a sound to remind the user of the position of the remote control equipment. After the user finds the remote control device, the user presses any key by using the remote control device, and the remote control device stops sounding.

In the above embodiment, the target device may also periodically send a position reminding instruction to the remote control device, and when the remote control device receives the control instruction, the reminding operation is executed for a predetermined time. And when the remote control equipment executes the reminding operation for more than the preset time and is not triggered, stopping executing the reminding operation. And when the position reminding instruction is received again, reminding operation is executed. And when the remote control equipment is triggered, the target equipment stops sending the position reminding instruction to the remote control equipment. According to the position reminding instruction sent periodically, when the user cannot find the remote control equipment for a long time, the remote control equipment is controlled to send out reminding sounds periodically, so that the situation that the remote control equipment cannot be found for a long time and the remote control equipment continuously sends out the reminding sounds to cause excessive electricity consumption or low electricity consumption of the remote control equipment is avoided.

In one exemplary embodiment, determining the device to send the control instruction comprises: determining identification information included in the control instruction; and determining the equipment for sending the control instruction based on the identification information. In this embodiment, the target device may determine the device that transmits the control instruction by using the identification information included in the control instruction. The identification information may be a protocol identification of the transmission information, and the like.

and step S304, executing reminding operation based on the position reminding instruction.

In the above-described embodiment, the target device may be a television, an air conditioner, or the like, which can be controlled by a remote control device, and a control button for controlling the target device is also integrated in the target device. The user can send a control instruction to the target device through the remote control device, and also can send the control instruction to the target device through a control button on the target device.

In the above embodiment, the target device may establish a communication connection with the remote control device, where the communication connection may include connection modes such as a bluetooth connection, a WIFI connection, and an infrared connection. The target device may establish a connection with the remote control device in advance. When the remote control equipment is Bluetooth remote control equipment, the Bluetooth is bidirectional communication, and after the target equipment is matched with the Bluetooth, the target equipment can be automatically matched and connected after being started every time, namely, Bluetooth connection is established.

In the above embodiment, when the target device is a television, the user normally uses a remote controller (i.e., a remote control device) to operate the television, and the user may not consider using the body keys of the television for control unless no remote control is found. This is also the usage habit of most users. Therefore, when the user controls the television by using the television key, the user can basically think that the user can not find the remote control at this time. At this point, a location alert instruction may be sent. After receiving the position sending instruction, the remote control device can execute a reminding operation, and a user can find the remote control device through the reminding operation.

Optionally, the executing subject of the above steps may be a remote control device.

According to the invention, after the control instruction is received, the equipment for sending the control instruction is determined, and under the condition that the equipment is the target equipment, the position reminding instruction is sent to the remote control equipment which is in communication connection with the target equipment so as to instruct the remote control equipment to execute the reminding operation according to the position reminding instruction. When the device sending the control command is determined to be the target device, the command for searching the remote control device can be initiated in time. Therefore, when the user cannot find the remote control device, the user can send a control instruction to the target device through the target device, so that the operation of finding the remote control device is actively triggered. Therefore, the problems that the operation of searching the remote control equipment is not timely and the user cannot actively trigger the operation of searching the remote control equipment in the related technology can be solved, the effect that the user can actively and timely trigger the operation of searching the remote control equipment is achieved, and the user experience is improved.

In one exemplary embodiment, performing the reminder operation includes at least one of: playing predetermined audio; and controlling flash lamps included in the remote control equipment to flash. In this embodiment, the reminding operation may be to play a predetermined audio, or to control a flash lamp to flash. The predetermined audio may be the sound of a droplet or may be a user-defined audio. Namely, the method is used for reminding the audio by equipment in advance, and the user experience is improved.

In an exemplary embodiment, after performing the reminding operation based on the position reminding instruction, the method further includes: and stopping executing the reminding operation under the condition that the remote control equipment is triggered. In this embodiment, after receiving the message, the remote control device may immediately make a sound to remind the user of the location of the remote control device. After the user finds the remote control device, the user presses any key by using the remote control device, and the remote control device stops sounding or turns off the flash lamp.

In an exemplary embodiment, after performing the reminding operation based on the position reminding instruction, the method further includes: and stopping executing the reminding operation under the condition that the posture of the remote control equipment is determined to be changed. In this embodiment, a motion sensor, a gravity sensor, a temperature sensor, and the like may also be installed in the remote control device. When the posture sending change of the remote control equipment is determined through the motion sensor, the gravity sensor and the like, the remote control equipment is found, and the reminding operation is stopped. Or when the remote control device is determined to be picked up according to a temperature sensor and the like, the remote control device is found, and the reminding operation is stopped.

The following describes a method for prompting a position of a remote control device with reference to a specific embodiment:
