Today, with the rapid development of the smart home field, the role of smart TV as a home entertainment center is increasingly prominent. According to the latest data, as of the first half of 2023, the number of smart TVS in China has reached 348 million units, marking the vigorous development of the smart TV market and consumers' strong demand for a smarter and more efficient home control experience. With the popularity of smart TVS and the acceleration of the trend of intelligence, large screen and scene, the market has ushered in unprecedented opportunities for innovation.
In recent years, the output of China's remote control industry has continued to grow, rising from 940 million in 2017 to 1.61 billion in 2023, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.0%, and is expected to maintain stable growth in 2024, with a total output of more than 1.7 billion. However, at the same time of the rapid development of smart TVS, the human-computer interaction experience of traditional remote controls has been difficult to meet the increasingly diversified needs of consumers. 86% of users expect to be able to enjoy a richer entertainment experience through multiple interactive methods such as sliding and tapping, just like operating mobile phones.

n the face of this challenge, Huayuen Corporation, with years of deep accumulation in the field of UWB technology, released the UWB air remote control module scheme in April this year, which won the high attention of upstream and downstream partners in the industry chain, and reached a consensus on cooperation with a number of units. After half a year of technical difficulties, product optimization iteration, in October, we and remote control partners jointly launched a new UWB air remote control system solutions and products. The release of this solution provides great convenience for end customers, without any changes to the existing product structure, simply through the USB interface connection, you can immediately use the UWB air finger remote control function.
Huayuen Corporation UWB air remote control scheme, the remote control end and the receiving end are used UWB antenna array, can accurately measure the relative distance and phase between the two devices, through the spatial positioning algorithm, to achieve the plane coordinates of the remote control pointing point on the screen. This technology makes the operation of the TV more similar to the operation logic of smartphones and tablets, greatly reducing the learning time of users to adapt to the new device, and improve the operation efficiency.
In terms of battery life, the scheme adopts the intelligent low-power design of hardware + software + algorithm, which effectively improves the battery life, so that users can enjoy a longer experience without frequent charging. In the product structure, the use of antenna, PCB, UWB chip integrated module design, truly intelligent, compact, portable. The minimum size of the transmitter module of the remote control is only 35mm*9mm, and the product size of the remote control is only 160mm* 39mm*12.6mm.
What is more striking is that Huayuen Corporation's UWB remote control solution has demonstrated its wide applicability and technological frontier. The program not only successfully achieved seamless docking with Hisense, TCL, millet, Skyworth, Changhong and other first-line TV brands, but also achieved compatibility with Tencent Aurora, millet, Dangbei and other brands of set-top box products. In particular, it is worth mentioning that the program breaks through the barriers between Windows, Android and Google systems, realizes seamless compatibility across platforms, and greatly expands its application scenarios and potential markets. This achievement not only highlights Huayuen Corporation's leading position in technological innovation, but also brings users a richer and more convenient experience.
Li Zhenya, CEO of Huayuen Corporation, said: "Through technological innovation, we can significantly shorten the project cycle by more than 80%, and partners can quickly layout into their own product ecology. Our UWB air finger remote control system solution is plug and play out of the box, convenient for partners to quickly switch and upgrade. We believe that the release of this solution will bring users an unprecedented space-directed interactive experience, and will also promote the further development of the entire smart home industry."
Huayuen Corporation always regards the partnership with the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain as the core of the company's development, and constantly deepens the research and development in the field of cutting-edge technology. At present, we are working closely with our partners to actively advance the development of several projects, aiming to continuously introduce innovative products to further enrich our product line.
We are eager to establish cooperation with more like-minded partners, through continuous technological innovation and close collaboration, to jointly create a more innovative and perfect product ecosystem. We believe that by working together, we can realize this vision and bring more value to our users.
