Abstract

This disclosure relates to a communication control technology field and provides a control method, a device, and a remote control for a VR apparatus. The remote control may establish a communication connection to the VR apparatus, and may determine a virtual control in a mapping association with the function button after receiving a first operation on a function button configured for the remote control by a user, the virtual control being located on a display interface of the VR apparatus. The determined virtual control may be operated according to the first operation. Through the foregoing method, the user may control display of the VR apparatus by operating the remote control, thereby simplifying user operations and improving user experience.

Claims

1. A control method for a VR apparatus, wherein the method comprises:

establishing a communication connection between a remote control and the VR apparatus;

after receiving a first operation on a function button of the remote control by a user, determining a virtual control in a mapping association with the function button, the virtual control being located on a display interface of the VR apparatus; and

controlling the virtual control according to the first operation.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein after receiving the first operation on the function button of the remote control by the user, the method further comprises:

determining a current working mode of the remote control; and

the determining the virtual control in the mapping association with the function button comprises;

when it is determined that the current working mode of the remote control is a VR apparatus control mode, determining a virtual control in a mapping association with the function button in a display module of the VR apparatus.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the method further comprises:

when it is determined that the current working mode of the remote control is an aerial vehicle control mode, controlling, according to the first operation, the aerial vehicle connected to the remote control.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a switching instruction; and

switching the current working mode of the remote control according to the switching instruction.

5. The method according to claim 3, wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a switching instruction; and

switching the current working mode of the remote control according to the switching instruction.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a second operation on the function button of the remote control by the user, the second operation being different from the first operation; and

controlling, according to the second operation, the aerial vehicle connected to the remote control.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the virtual control comprises at least one of the following:

a window control, a text box control, a button control, and a menu control.

8. A remote control, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory coupled to the at least one processor,

wherein the memory stores a computer instruction and the processor is configured to;

establish a communication connection between the remote control and a VR apparatus;

after receiving a first operation on a function button of the remote control by a user, determine a virtual control in a mapping association with the function button, the virtual control being located on a display interface of the VR apparatus; and

control the virtual control according to the first operation.

9. The remote control according to claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a current working mode of the remote control;

when it is determined that the current working mode of the remote control is a VR apparatus control mode, determine the virtual control in the mapping association with the function button in a display module of the VR apparatus.

10. The remote control according to claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to:

control, according to the first operation, an aerial vehicle connected to the remote control if it is determined that the current working mode of the remote control is an aerial vehicle control mode.

11. The remote control according to claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a switching instruction; and

switch the current working mode of the remote control according to the switching instruction.

12. The remote control according to claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a switching instruction; and

switch the current working mode of the remote control according to the switching instruction.

13. The remote control according to claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a second operation on the function button of the remote control by the user, the second operation being different from the first operation; and

control, according to the second operation, the aerial vehicle connected to the remote control.

14. The remote control according to claim 8, wherein the virtual control comprises at least one of the following:

a window control, a text box control, a button control, and a menu control.
