  • Publication number: 20150332085
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of smart household electric appliances and discloses a method and system for adaptive adjustment of a terminal. The method comprises the steps of: capturing in real time a current image of a user; evaluating based on the image a current use state of the user and a duration of the use state; performing an automatic control of the terminal based on the use state and its duration. According to the present invention, the user's current use state with respect to an electronic terminal is automatically detected through image identification, and based on the information on the state duration, the electronic terminal is controlled to perform a targeted adjustment, thereby achieving not only effective energy-saving, but also facilitation of user operation and enhancement of user experience.

  • Publication number: 20150325117
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless remote control technologies, and specifically to a remoter controller circuit. The remote controller circuit comprises a printed circuit board, and at least two sets of infrared emitter tubes arranged in parallel at an end of the printed circuit board, wherein each set of said at least two sets of infrared emitter tubes comprises a plurality of infrared emitter tubes connected in parallel and/or the infrared emitter tubes of said at least two sets of infrared emitter tubes are arranged at a certain angle. The present disclosure increases a controllable scope by changing a parallel arrangement manner of infrared emitter tubes in the original circuit to an arrangement manner with a certain angle; or increases an emitting power, enlarges an infrared emitting section and achieves an effect obviously stronger than the basic circuit by changing the number of original infrared emitter tubes, thereby achieving an obvious effect with a minor modification.

  • Publication number: 20150325109
    Abstract: A quick remote control method comprises S1: receiving a key operation from a user, and determining whether the key operation is a continuous operation of a previous key operation. The method further comprises directly outputting a remote control signal of the key operation if the key operation is not the continuous operation of the previous key operation, or both outputting a remote control signal of the key operation and simultaneously recording a corresponding remote control code into the content of the continuous operation and proceeding to step S2 if the key operation is the continuous operation of the previous key operation. The method also comprises S2: determining whether the continuous operation is already completed, and returning to step S1 if the continuous operation has not yet been completed, or proceeding to step S3 if the continuous operation is already completed.
