控制数字家庭家用电器的机顶盒及方法Set-top box and method for controlling digital home appliances

技术领域technical field

本发明涉数字家庭技术领域，尤其涉及一种控制数字家庭家用电器的机顶盒及方法。The invention relates to the field of digital home technology, in particular to a set-top box and method for controlling digital home electric appliances.

背景技术Background technique

随着现代化家用电器的不断普及，以及技术的快速发展，日常使用的家电设备的种类越来越多，人们对家电设备的自动化、智能化要求也越来越高。With the continuous popularization of modern household appliances and the rapid development of technology, there are more and more types of household appliances in daily use, and people have higher and higher requirements for automation and intelligence of household appliances.

对家电设备的智能控制，其优势在于可以方便用户的使用或按照用户的意愿执行操作，使人们的生活更加安逸和舒适。例如，智能电饭煲，可以通过定时器的设定，控制设备在某一时间自动开启或关闭，从而能够根据用户的需要执行操作，方便了用户的使用。The advantage of intelligent control of home appliances is that it can facilitate the use of users or perform operations according to the wishes of users, making people's lives more comfortable and comfortable. For example, a smart rice cooker can control the device to be automatically turned on or off at a certain time by setting a timer, so that operations can be performed according to the needs of the user, which is convenient for the user.

但是，目前对于种类繁多的家电电器，用户需要不停的走动来进行控制，如果出现同时有多个家用电器需要进行控制的话就会出现分身乏术的情况。因此目前家电设备的智能化和个性化的程度还应当是具有自适应性，以便使数字家庭环境和设备能够为用户提供更加个性化乃至人性化的服务。However, at present, for a wide variety of household appliances, users need to keep moving to control them. If there are multiple household appliances that need to be controlled at the same time, it will be difficult to do so at the same time. Therefore, the degree of intelligence and personalization of home appliances should also be self-adaptive, so that the digital home environment and devices can provide users with more personalized and even humanized services.
