WIFI control box system

The new model relates to a WIFI control box system, especially a WIFI control box system with a host and a sub-machine.

One of the scenarios of the existing Internet of Things is that a user uses his mobile phone to remotely connect to a home WIFI control box, and instructs the WIFI control box to emit infrared (IR) remote control signals to control home appliances. However, since the WIFI control box is usually not provided with an operable display, when the user uses the WIFI control box for the first time, he must first connect to the WIFI control box with the mobile phone WIFI, so that the mobile phone can display the WIFI control box. Setting screen, and then set the WIFI control box to be able to connect with the home wireless router WIFI in the setting screen. However, the above-mentioned operation process of setting the WIFI control box to be able to connect with the wireless router at home is very cumbersome, so that some users may not be able to complete the WIFI connection setting process between the WIFI control box and the wireless router by themselves. A solution must be sought.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a WIFI control box system.

Therefore, the novel WIFI control box system is suitable for remote control of at least one electrical appliance, and is suitable for a router that can be connected to the Internet and includes a first Ethernet port, and includes a host, a cloud server, and a mobile device. The host includes: an Ethernet unit with a second Ethernet port that can be wired to the first Ethernet port of the router; a WIFI communication unit; an infrared emitting unit; and a processing unit, connected to the Ethernet The unit, the WIFI communication unit and the infrared emitting unit are electrically connected. The mobile device can be wirelessly connected with the WIFI communication unit of the host. After the second Ethernet port of the Ethernet unit is wired to the first Ethernet port of the router, the host can establish a connection with the router, and then the mobile device can be operated by the user to and the host is registered to the cloud server through the router and the Internet, and the appliance is set to the host, so the user can use the mobile device to remotely connect to the host to make the host The infrared emitting unit transmits a host infrared remote control signal to remotely control the electrical appliance.

The effect of the present invention is: because the host is additionally provided with the second Ethernet port, after the second Ethernet port is wired to the first Ethernet port of the router, the host can immediately establish a connection with the router line, allowing the user to quickly and easily configure the host to connect to the cloud server through the router's Internet capabilities.

Referring to FIG. 1, a first embodiment of the novel WIFI control box system is suitable for remote control of at least one electrical appliance (such as infrared remote control air conditioners, TV sets, etc.) A router 7 with a first Ethernet port 71 . As shown in FIG. 1 , in the first embodiment, the WIFI control box system is used as an example to remotely control several electrical appliances 91 , 92 , and 93 respectively installed in several rooms, wherein the rooms include a setting The main room 11 of the router 7, and several other rooms (eg, one other room 12, and another other room 13, etc. . . ).

The WIFI control box system includes a host 2 , at least one slave 4 , a cloud server 5 , and a mobile device 3 . For example, in the first embodiment of FIG. 1 , the other room 12 and the other room 13 are both provided with the sub-machine 4 .

In the first embodiment, the host 2 is disposed in the main room 11 and includes an Ethernet unit 21 , a WIFI communication unit 22 , an infrared emitting unit 23 , and a processing unit 24 .

Taking the remote control of the electrical appliance 92 in the other room 12 as an example, when the user clicks the electrical appliance 92 in the other room 12 in the remote control APP 31 , the mobile device 3 generates a corresponding WIFI remote control signal through the host computer 2 . The WIFI communication unit 22 transmits to the WIFI communication module 41 of the slave 4 in the other room 12, and then the processing module 43 of the slave 4 converts the WIFI remote control signal into a slave infrared remote control signal through the The infrared emitting module 42 is radiated outwards so as to be able to remotely control the electrical appliance 92 .

Referring to FIG. 2 , the difference between the second embodiment of the novel WIFI control box system and the above-mentioned first embodiment is that, in the second embodiment, the host 2 further includes an electrical connection with the processing unit 24 The radio frequency communication unit 25 of the first embodiment is replaced by a radio frequency communication module 44 which can communicate wirelessly with the radio frequency communication unit 25 in the sub-machine 4 .

In the second embodiment, when the user wants to remotely control the electrical appliance 92 in the other room 12 or the electrical appliance 93 in the other room 13, he can click the electrical appliance in the other room 12 in the remote control APP 31 respectively. 92 or the appliance 93 in the other room 13.

Taking the remote control of the electrical appliance 92 in the other room 12 as an example, when the user clicks the electrical appliance 92 in the other room 12 in the remote control APP 31 , the mobile device 3 generates a corresponding WIFI remote control signal and transmits it to the host computer 2 . The WIFI communication unit 22 .

Next, the processing unit 24 of the host computer 2 converts the WIFI remote control signal into a radio frequency remote control signal and transmits it to the radio frequency communication module 44 of the slave 4 in the other room 12 through the radio frequency communication unit 25 , and then the slave The processing module 43 of 4 converts the radio frequency remote control signal into a corresponding infrared remote control signal of the sub-machine and transmits it through the infrared emitting module 42 to remotely control the electrical appliance 92 .

To sum up, the novel WIFI control box system at least has the following advantages and functions: (1) Since the host 2 additionally sets the second Ethernet port 211, when the second Ethernet port 211 is connected to the Ethernet After the route 8 is wired to the first Ethernet port 71 of the router 7 , the host computer 2 can immediately establish a connection with the router 7 in the main room 11 , so the user can immediately use the remote control of the mobile device 3 The host 2 can be seen on the APP 31, so that the host 2 can be quickly and easily set to be able to connect to the cloud server 5 through the Internet access capability of the router 4; (2) further through the slaves 4 to separate The electric appliance 92 in the other room 12 and the electric appliance 93 in the other room 13 are remotely controlled, etc.; therefore, the purpose of the present invention can be achieved.
