The user side calls a telephone number to which the gateway for remote control corresponds, and the gateway for remote control puts through the call and controls a controlled device according to the information from the user side. It is possible to know and control the controlled device of the local network through the gateway for remote control that need not be online all the time. The voice prompt is defined by the own internal device of the local network, so as to enhance the expansibility and compatibility of the gateway. The user can directly control the device of the network through dialing a phone number. Embodiments of the invention are not restricted by the area, and the expense thereof is very low.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to remote control techniques, and in particular, to a technique for implementing remote control through a gateway for remote control.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Along with rapid development of digital information technology, the digital information technology goes beyond the traditional commercial limit, and electronic products of the consumption field and office equipment of enterprises have been generally digitalized. There are more and more digital entertainment devices and digitalized domestic electrical appliances in common homes. These devices are connected in a wire or wireless mode constituting a LAN (Local Area Network) within the home, so as to share the contents or the access to the Internet, or control each other conveniently, which is the concept of digital home network that the industry is conceiving and pulling off.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention provide a gateway for remote control and system as well as a method for implementing the remote control, so as to control the device of the network directly without support of a special device or area restriction, and with low expense.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a first schematic illustrating the makeup and structure of the gateway for remote control.
EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION Embodiments of a gateway for remote control and system, as well as a method for implementing remote control are illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings.
A First Embodiment As shown in FIG. 1, the gateway for remote control is composed of an information receiving and processing module, a controlling signal generating module, a controlling signal sending module and a controlled device, which are connected through their own interfaces.
A Second Embodiment As shown in FIG. 2, on the basis of the first embodiment, the gateway for remote control further incorporates a phone signal processing module. The phone signal processing module is coupled to the phone line in front of the information receiving and processing module and used for connecting the information receiving and processing module to the user side when a call is not put through under a predetermined condition. At the same time, an device information receiving and transmitting module is incorporated, and the device information receiving and transmitting module is respectively coupled to the information receiving and processing module and the phone line, and is used for sending device configuration information to the user through the phone line and collecting the device information from the controlled devices, and the configuration information may be the state information of the controlled device sent from the gateway for remote control to the calling user side, or the voice prompt information that is needed by the user in the process of controlling the device. The direction of the arrow in FIG. 2 may also be reversed, which means that the information can also be sent from the controlled devices to the device information receiving and transmitting module.
A Third Embodiment As shown in FIG. 3, a system based on the gateway for remote control includes a phone line, a gateway for remote control, a local network and a controlled device; the gateway for remote control is coupled to the phone line and the controlled device respectively.
A Fourth Embodiment As shown in FIG. 4, the system based on the gateway for remote control further includes a network access system, an external network and a service website of the manufacturer on the basis of the third embodiment. The gateway for remote control can connect to an external network, for example the Internet or the Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN), by the network access system.
