Abstract: Entering the era of science and technology, there are many inventions and researches developed in the modern society. Technologies have been gradually integrated as parts of modern life, especially on the mobile phone and computer. They are closely related to our life and generate far-reaching influence among people communication and convenience. A smart phone contains all functions launched to the era of market and goes far beyond the traditional role of a phone: communication. However, how to achieve convenience and simple manipulation is still an emerging issue. Therefore, we design a multi-function menu in an app program that allows you to select your required electrical remote control function in cell phone. A user delivers an instruction to the Bluetooth receiver through Bluetooth technology. Receiving the command, the Bluetooth receiver will further control home appliances and then controls home appliances. After that, we use TV remote control as the subject and design the required fundamental functions. Finally, we then extend this method to design Bluetooth receiver module or Bluetooth receiver of USB interface and apply to other home appliances. That is so-called smart appliances.
