Detailed Description
The invention will be described in detail with reference to the following drawings, which are provided for illustration purposes and the like:
please refer to fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram of an environment for an information notification method and an information reading method according to the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, in an embodiment of the invention, the information notification method of the invention is applied to the information transceiver 1, and the method of reading information is applied to the second electronic device 80, wherein the information transceiver 1 can be connected to the first electronic device 90 by wireless transmission, so that the first electronic device 90 can transmit information data to the information transceiver 1, and the information data is transmitted to the second electronic device 80 after the information transceiver 1 is connected to the second electronic device 80. In an embodiment of the invention, the second electronic device 80 includes a screen 81, a processor 82, a memory 83 and a wireless transmission module 84. The processor 82 is electrically connected to the screen 81, the memory 83 and the wireless transmission module 84, wherein the memory 83 stores a computer program product P; when the processor 82 loads the computer program product P and executes it, the method for reading information according to the present invention can be completed.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the information transceiver 1 includes a storage module 10, a signal transmitter 20, a signal receiver 30 and a control unit 40, wherein the signal receiver 30 is configured to receive a message from the first electronic device 90 and a connection signal from the second electronic device 80. The control unit 40 is electrically connected to the storage module 10, the signal transmitter 20 and the signal receiver 30, and the control unit 40 is configured to temporarily store the message information in the storage module 10 after the signal receiver 30 receives the message information, control the signal transmitter 20 to transmit a broadcast signal, and pair and connect with the wireless transmission module 84 of the second electronic device 80 according to the connection signal when the signal receiver 30 receives the connection signal; after the connection is established, the control unit 40 can transmit the message to the second electronic device 80 through the signal transmitter 20. In a particular embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 40 is a microcontroller,more specifically, the control unit 40 of the information transmitting/receiving apparatus 1 of the present invention is in the existing iBeaconTMOn the basis of the control chip of the base station, the information notification method of the present invention can be achieved through the writing of the firmware program instructions, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In the embodiment of the invention, the wireless transmission module 84 of the second electronic device 80 is a bluetooth module, but the invention is not limited thereto.
Next, please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 2 together. Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating steps of a first embodiment of an information notification method and an information reading method according to the present invention, and the following describes steps of the information notification method and the information reading method in sequence with reference to fig. 1. It should be noted that, although the information notification method and the information reading method disclosed in the present invention are described below by taking the information transceiver 1 and the second electronic device 80 as examples, the two methods are not limited to being applied to the information transceiver 1 and the second electronic device 80.
When the user of the first electronic device 90 wants to leave a message to the user of the second electronic device 80 under a specific situation, for example: the user of the first electronic device 90 is too much in a family member, and before going out, because the husband still sleeps but wants to leave a message, the husband is reminded to have lunch in the refrigerator when going to the kitchen after getting up, and at this time, the too much (i.e. the user of the first electronic device 90) can operate the first electronic device 90 to leave a message (hereinafter referred to as message) to be transmitted into the information transceiver 1. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the message information includes not only the message content data, but also the receiving end identification code data, which is the identification code data of the second electronic device 80 designated by the user of the first electronic device 90 to receive the message information; for example, if it is too much to leave a message to the husband and it is not desirable for other family members to read the message, it is too much to set the message to be read only by the second electronic device 80 held by the husband when the message is input.
In the method for implementing the above steps, the specific application (loaded on the first electronic device 90) can be executed to enable the screen 91 of the first electronic device 90 to display the information input interface 70 shown in fig. 3, for example, so that the user can input the message information. The message input interface 70 includes a message content input field 72 and a recipient setting field 71, wherein a downward arrow pattern in the recipient setting field 71 is clicked to present a plurality of different device names, the different device names represent different receiving end identification code data, and the receiving end identification code data can be obtained by the first electronic device 90 through a predetermined group setting. The user can set the receiving end identification code data included in the message by selecting one of the device names. For example, the device names include the device name of the second electronic device 80 held by the husband, the device name of the second electronic device 80 held by the son, and the device name of the second electronic device 80 held by the daughter, if the message is too much left to the husband, the receiver setting field 71 should select and set the device name of the second electronic device 80 held by the husband, and the receiving end identification code data represented by the device name is transmitted to the information transceiver 1 when the message is too much transmitted.
After the user has input the message information, the user presses the sending button 73 on the information input interface 70, and the message information is sent to the information transceiver 1. In contrast, the signal receiver 30 of the information transceiver 1 receives the message from the first electronic device 90, and then the control unit 40 sends the message to the temporary storage module 10 (i.e. step S201).
In the first embodiment of the present invention, after the control unit 40 temporarily stores the message information into the storage module 10, the signal transmitter 20 is then controlled to transmit the broadcast signal (i.e. step S202 is executed) so that when the second electronic device 80 approaches the information transceiver 1 within a specific distance (e.g. 5 meters), the second electronic device 80 can be notified by the broadcast signal, and the information transceiver 1 has a message information. The broadcast signal is repeatedly transmitted every a period of time (e.g., 2 seconds) until someone reads out the message.
Once the second electronic device 80 approaches the information transceiver 1 within the specific distance, the second electronic device 80 receives the broadcast signal (i.e., step S203) and returns the connection signal to the information transceiver 1 according to the broadcast signal (i.e., step S204). On the contrary, the signal receiver 30 of the information transceiver 1 receives the connection signal from the second electronic device 80 (step S205).
After step S205 is executed, the control unit 40 of the information transceiver 1 starts to perform a pairing connection with the wireless transmission module 84 of the second electronic device 80 according to the received connection signal (i.e., step S206 is executed), and after the connection is established, the information transceiver 1 can perform a wireless transmission with the second electronic device 80.
After the second electronic device 80 establishes the connection with the information transceiver 1, the processor 82 executing the computer program P transmits the identification code of the second electronic device 80 to the information transceiver 1 (i.e., step S207 is executed). In contrast, the signal receiver 30 of the information transceiver 1 receives the identification code transmitted from the second electronic device 80, and the control unit 40 compares whether the identification code matches the receiver identification code data (i.e., step S208 is executed). Once the comparison result is consistent, the control unit 40 transmits the message temporarily stored in the storage module 10 to the second electronic device 80 through the signal transmitter 30 (i.e., step S209 is executed). Otherwise, if the comparison result is not consistent, the message information is not transmitted.
After the second electronic device 80 receives the message, the processor 81 immediately displays the message on the screen 81 (i.e., performs step S210), so that the user holding the second electronic device 80 can know the message at the first time when approaching the message transceiver 1.
It should be noted that the information notification method and the information reading method of the present invention are not limited to the above steps, and the steps may be changed and some steps may be omitted as long as the purpose of the present invention is achieved. For example, the identification code verification is only used to improve the privacy of the message and ensure that the message is read by a specific person, but if the identification code is applied to a home, the verification mechanism can be omitted (i.e., steps S207 and S208 are omitted) under the condition that the privacy requirement is not too strict, so that the message can be read immediately after the connection is established no matter who holds the second electronic device 80 close to the message transceiver 1.
Finally, please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 4 together, wherein fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a second embodiment of an information notification method and an information reading method according to the present invention.
In the second embodiment of the present invention, different from the first embodiment, after the message-leaving information is received by the message-sending/receiving device 1, the control unit 40 edits the broadcast signal according to the receiver identification code data in the message-leaving information (i.e. step S402 is added) to limit that only one specific second electronic device 80 starts to send back the connection signal after receiving the broadcast signal when a plurality of second electronic devices 80 approach the message-sending/receiving device 1 within a specific distance. For example, in the foregoing example, if the second electronic device 80 owned by the son is close to the information transceiver 1 within a specific distance, since the receiver set by the user of the first electronic device 90 is too old (i.e. the receiver is a senior citizen), the control unit 40 edits the broadcast signal according to the received receiver identification code data and does not trigger the second electronic device 80 owned by the son to start, that is, even if the edited broadcast signal is received by the second electronic device 80 owned by the son, the steps S405, S408 and S411 shown in fig. 4 are not executed correspondingly. On the contrary, if the second electronic device 80 of the old public is close to the information transceiver 1, the second electronic device 80 can execute the steps S405, S408 and S411 as shown in fig. 4.
As can be seen from the above description, the message transceiver 1 of the present invention can be used as a medium for leaving messages for users, and since the message transceiver can be installed in different environments according to the requirements, the message receiver can receive the message information when entering the environment, and thus the message receiver can begin to fulfill the items mentioned in the message at the first time after receiving the message information, thereby achieving the best reminding effect.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof, and it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
