Abstract

Generate a first motion signal when a first predetermined movement of the portable electronic device is detected. Generate a first command corresponding to the first motion signal. Link the portable electronic device to a plurality of smart home electronic devices via a wireless network according to the first command. List the plurality of smart home electronic devices on the portable electronic device. Generate a second motion signal when a second predetermined movement of the portable electronic device is detected. Generate a second command corresponding to the second motion signal. Control a smart home electronic device selected from the plurality of smart home electronic devices according to the second command.

Claims

1. A method of using a portable electronic device to remotely control a smart home electronic device comprising:

generating a first motion signal when a first predetermined movement of the portable electronic device is detected;

generating a first command corresponding to the first motion signal;

linking the portable electronic device to a plurality of smart home electronic devices via a wireless network according to the first command;

listing the plurality of smart home electronic devices on the portable electronic device;

generating a second motion signal when a second predetermined movement of the portable electronic device is detected;

generating a second command corresponding to the second motion signal; and

controlling the smart home electronic device selected from the plurality of smart home electronic devices according to the second command.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein generating the first motion signal when the first predetermined movement of the portable electronic device is detected is generating the first motion signal by a motion sensor when the first predetermined movement of the portable electronic device is detected by the motion sensor.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein generating the second motion signal when the second predetermined movement of the portable electronic device is detected is generating the second motion signal by a motion sensor when the second predetermined movement of the portable electronic device is detected by the motion sensor.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein controlling the smart home electronic device according to the second command is controlling the smart home electronic device according to the second command via the wireless network.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein listing the plurality of smart home electronic devices on the portable electronic device is listing the plurality of smart home electronic devices on a touch screen of the portable electronic device.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising:

generating a third command when the touch screen receives an input signal; and

controlling the smart home electronic device selected from the plurality of smart home electronic devices according to the third command.

7. A portable electronic device for remotely controlling a smart home electronic device comprising:

a housing;

a touch screen disposed on the housing for receiving an input signal;

a motion sensor disposed in the housing for detecting a predetermined movement of the portable electronic device to generate a motion signal;

a controller disposed in the housing for generating a command corresponding to the motion signal or the input signal; and

a wireless module disposed in the housing for linking with the smart home electronic device and transmitting the command to control the smart home electronic device.

8. The portable electronic device of claim 7 wherein the motion sensor comprises:

an accelerometer for detecting an orientation and/or an acceleration of the portable electronic device.

9. The portable electronic device of claim 7 wherein the motion sensor comprises:

a gyroscope for detecting an angular velocity of the portable electronic device.

10. The portable electronic device of claim 7 wherein the motion sensor comprises:

a proximity sensor for measuring the distance between an object and the portable electronic device.

11. The portable electronic device of claim 7 wherein the motion sensor comprises:

a magnetometer for detecting a direction of the portable electronic device with regard to a geomagnetic north pole.

12. The portable electronic device of claim 7 wherein the motion sensor comprises:

a GPS (global positioning system) sensor for locating a position of the portable electronic device.

13. The portable electronic device of claim 7 wherein the wireless module is a Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) module.

14. The portable electronic device of claim 7 wherein the wireless module is a Bluetooth module.

15. A remote control system comprising:

a portable electronic device for remotely controlling a smart home electronic device comprising;

a housing;

a touch screen disposed on the housing for receiving an input signal;

a motion sensor disposed in the housing for detecting a predetermined movement of the portable electronic device to generate a motion signal;

a controller disposed in the housing for generating a command corresponding to the motion signal or the input signal; and

a wireless module disposed in the housing for linking with the smart home electronic device and transmitting the command to control the smart home electronic device; and

a smart home electronic device comprising;

a wireless receiver for receiving the command from the wireless module of the portable electronic device.

16. The remote control system of claim 15 wherein the motion sensor comprises:

an accelerometer for detecting an orientation and/or an acceleration of the portable electronic device.

17. The remote control system of claim 15 wherein the motion sensor comprises:

a gyroscope for detecting an angular velocity of the portable electronic device.

18. The remote control system of claim 15 wherein the motion sensor comprises:
