DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD

[1] The present disclosure generally relates to the Internet of Things (IoT), and more particularly relates to a system and a method for selecting an Infrared (IR) profile for an appliance.
BACKGROUND

[2] A Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi)-based IR blaster is a device that allows you to control appliances (i.e., infrared devices), such as air conditioners, television, and the like remotely using a Wi-Fi connection. Further, IR blasters are enabled to transmit infrared signals mimicking the signals sent by a remote control for controlling the appliances.
[3] Generally, it is very difficult for a user to detect which remote commands/buttons of an IR remote (for example, enabled in a user device, such as smartphone) are required to control the appliance. There are multiple conventional solutions which are available to control the appliances via the IR blaster. However, the conventional solutions require the user to manually select a remote control for controlling the appliance. For manually selecting the remote control, the user is presented with a virtual representation of the remote control including the remote buttons on the user device. Further, the user is required to manually select the remote buttons on the virtual remote control that correspond to the functions that the user is required to perform on the appliances. The manual selection of the remote buttons is a tedious and time-consuming task. Furthermore, the conventional solutions also require an additional IR blaster to get trained from conventional remotes. These IR blasters require IR sensor to get trained for controlling the appliance. As a result, user intervention and manual efforts are required to control the appliance using the conventional solutions.
[4] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, it is advantageous to provide an improved system and method that can overcome the above-mentioned problems and limitations associated with the selection of an IR profile for the appliance.

7. The method (400) as claimed in claim 6, wherein selecting the at least one IR profile for operating the appliance comprises:
determining, by the user device (100), the one or more remote commands from a set of remote commands for operating the appliance based on the captured at least one feedback, wherein the one or more remote commands correspond to a specific set of instructions that the IR blaster sends to the appliance to perform a particular action on the appliance; and
selecting, by the user device (100), the at least one IR profile for operating the appliance based on the determined one or more remote commands.

8. The method (400) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the IR blaster is one of in-built in the user device (100) or external to the user device (100).

9. A system (102) for selecting an Infrared (IR) profile for an appliance, the system (102) comprising:
a memory (108); and
one or more processors (104) communicably coupled to the memory (108), the one or more processors (104) are configured to:
receive, by an IR blaster, an instruction for obtaining at least one IR profile associated with an appliance based on a command received from a user device, wherein the at least one IR profile includes one or more remote commands for executing an operation on the appliance;
transmit an IR signal corresponding to the one or more remote commands to the appliance;
capture at least one feedback from the appliance upon transmitting the IR signals, wherein the at least one feedback is a response of the appliance upon receipt of the IR signal; and
select the at least one IR profile for operating the appliance based on the captured at least one feedback.

10. The system (102) as claimed in claim 9, wherein the at least one IR profile includes a plurality of profile associated with a type of appliance, a brand name of the appliance, and a model number of the appliance.

11. The system (102) as claimed in claim 9, wherein the at least one feedback includes auditory, visual, and haptic feedbacks.

12. The system (102) as claimed in claim 9, wherein the at least one feedback comprise at least one of a display intensity change of the appliance, a sound variation in the appliance, a wind blow by the appliance, and a display change in the appliance.

13. The system (102) as claimed in claim 9, wherein, in capturing the at least one feedback from the appliance, the one or more processors (104) are configured to:
capture an image of the appliance using the user device (100);
obtain, via the user device (100), one or more physical characters associated with the appliance from the captured image by using an image processing technique, wherein the one or more physical characters correspond to logo and brand name of the appliance;
determine, via the user device (100), appliance information associated with the appliance by comparing the obtained one or more physical characters with a predefined appliance information associated with a set of appliances, wherein the appliance information comprises one of a type of appliance, a brand name of the appliance, and a model number of the appliance;
determine, via the user device (100), information associated with the one or more remote commands for operating the appliance based on the determined appliance information; and
transmit the determined information associated with the one or more commands to the IR blaster.

14. The system (102) as claimed in claim 12, wherein, in capturing the at least one feedback from the appliance, the one or more processors (104) are configured to:
capture, via one or more sensors of the user device (100), the at least one feedback from the appliance while the IR blaster transmits IR signals related to the information associated with the one or more commands to the IR blaster.

15. The system (102) as claimed in claim 12, wherein, in selecting the at least one IR profile for operating the appliance, the one or more processors (104) are configured to:
determine, by the user device (100), the one or more remote commands from a set of remote commands for operating the appliance based on the captured at least one feedback, wherein the one or more remote commands correspond to a specific set of instructions that the IR blaster sends to the appliance to perform a particular action on the appliance; and
select, by the user device (100), the at least one IR profile for operating the appliance based on the determined one or more remote commands.

16. The system (102) as claimed in claim 8, wherein the IR blaster is one of in-built in the user device (100) or external to the user device (100).
