Detailed Description

The device control method provided by the embodiment of the application is suitable for controlling one or more scenes of the second terminal device through the first terminal device. Thus, the first terminal device may be referred to as a controlling end and the one or more second terminal devices may be referred to as controlled ends. For example, an Application (APP) may be installed in the control end, and the controlled end may be controlled by the APP.

An exemplary application scenario is a smart home scenario. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the first terminal device may be a mobile phone. The second terminal device can be a television, an air conditioner, a humidifier, a temperature detector, a refrigerator, a socket, a desk lamp, a curtain, a pendant lamp, a sound box and other smart home devices. In this scenario, an application of the smart home, for example, an intelligent life application or another application for controlling home devices, may be installed in the mobile phone, and the smart home devices may be controlled by the application, for example, turned on or turned off, and adjusted in temperature.

Fig. 1 illustrates an example of a smart home scenario, and it is understood that the method is applicable to other application scenarios besides the smart home scenario, for example, a scenario in which a mobile phone controls an in-vehicle system through an application (e.g., an in-vehicle application). The following description will be given by taking an intelligent home scene as an example.

In the following, taking the control end as a mobile phone as an example, an implementation principle that the mobile phone controls a device (e.g., a home device) through an application (e.g., an intelligent life application) is introduced.

Specifically, please refer to fig. 2A, which is a schematic flow chart of a mobile phone controlling a device through an application according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2A, the flow of the mobile phone controlling the device through the application includes S1 to S9.

And S1, the first target device logs in the router account.

For example, the first target device may be a home device in a home, such as a television, a curtain, a refrigerator, a socket, a desk lamp, a curtain, a pendant, a sound box, and the like.

The first target device may log into a home router wireless account. Specifically, S1 may be more detailed, such as including: displaying an account and password input interface on the first target device, and clicking to log in after a user inputs the account and the password; the first target device sends a login request to the cloud, wherein the login request comprises an account and a password. The cloud may verify the account and password in the login request (e.g., compare the account and password with the account and password pre-stored in the cloud). And after the verification is passed, the cloud end determines that the first target device is successfully logged in. The cloud end can also record that the first target device is in an online state.

The cloud may be various types of servers, and the specific type is not limited in this application. Optionally, the cloud may be an application server corresponding to an application in the mobile phone. It is understood that a server is specifically responsible for processing or storing the data of the application. For example, an application server corresponding to a smart life application.

S2, the cell phone receives a first operation for opening an application.

Taking the application as an example of a smart life application, please refer to fig. 2b (a), for example, a home screen (home screen) is displayed on the mobile phone, and the home screen includes a plurality of application icons, including an icon of the smart life application. The first operation may be a click operation, such as a click operation, for an icon of the smart life application.

And S3, opening the application by the mobile phone.

Here, the opening of the application by the mobile phone can be understood as an interface of the foreground display application of the mobile phone. For example, referring to fig. 2b (b), the mobile phone displays an interface of the smart life application (for the purpose of aspect description, the interface may be referred to as a home page of the smart life application).

And S4, the mobile phone controls the application to bind the router account.

For example, referring to fig. 2b (b), the homepage includes a prompt message for indicating that a router is bound, and when the user clicks the prompt message, an interface as shown in fig. 2b (c) may be displayed, where the interface includes an account number input box and a password input box of the router, and the user may input an account number and a password in the corresponding input boxes. And when the mobile phone detects that the user clicks the operation of the binding control, the mobile phone application logs in the account. The process of logging in the router account may refer to the process of logging in the router account by the first target device in the foregoing, which is not repeated herein.

Through the above process, the first target device and the application log in to the same router account. That is, the cloud may communicate with the application and the first target device separately.

In order to distinguish different applications in the cloud, the applications can log in a system account, for example, the user is a system account. It should be noted that the application login system account is different from the binding router account, and the application login system account is for facilitating the identification of the application by other devices, and is equivalent to the identity information of the application. The application binding router account is for binding with a target device accessing the router account.

And S5, the mobile phone application binds the first target device.

After the application binds the router account, the application may establish a binding relationship with a first target device accessing the router account. In short, the application binding the first target device may be understood as that the application and the first target device establish a connection relationship with each other. For example, after the application and the first target device both log in to the router account, the cloud may serve as a communication bridge between the first target device and the mobile phone application.

As an implementable manner, the cloud may actively push the device currently logged in to the router account to the mobile phone. For example, in the foregoing step, the first target device and the application both log in the router account, and the cloud may push the identifier of the first target device to the mobile phone. The identification of the first target device may for example be the device model of the device. For example, referring to fig. 2b (d), after the router account is bound by the application, identifiers of 3 devices currently accessed by the router account, such as an identifier of a television, an identifier of a sound box, and an identifier of a socket, are displayed. In fig. 2b (d), the identifier of the device is a combination of an icon and a text, and it is understood that the identifier of the device may have other manners, which is not limited in the present application.

Besides the cloud actively pushing the device currently accessed to the router account number to the mobile phone, the mobile phone application can also bind the first target device in other modes. For example, a two-dimensional code on a first target device is scanned; or, manually add the device identification of the first target device, etc. Taking scanning the two-dimensional code of the first target device as an example, the mobile phone application may scan the two-dimensional code to obtain the device information of the first target device. The device information may be, for example, the model number, product code, manufacturer, etc. of the first target device.

It is unclear whether the first target device is logged into the router account application. Therefore, after the application obtains the device information of the first target device, the device information of the first target device may be sent to the cloud, and the cloud determines whether the first target device logs in to the router account. If the cloud determines that the first target device is logged in to the router account, the cloud sends indication information 1 to the mobile phone to indicate that the first target device is logged in, and then the mobile phone is bound with the first target device, and then an identifier of the first target device, such as an icon + characters, is displayed in an interface shown in fig. 2b (d). If the cloud determines that the first target device does not log in the router account, the cloud sends indication information 2 to the mobile phone to indicate that the second target device does not log in, and then the mobile phone cannot be bound with the first target device temporarily. At this time, a prompt may be output on the mobile phone to prompt the user that the first target device has not logged in to the router account. The user can control the first target device to log in the router account, and then the first target device is scanned again through the mobile phone application and is bound with the first target device. After the mobile phone application is bound to the first target device, the identifier of the first target device is displayed on the mobile phone, for example, the identifier of the first target device is displayed in fig. 2b (d).

And S6, setting a control strategy for the first target device by the mobile phone. The control strategy may include control conditions and control modes.

The control condition is that the first target equipment is controlled to execute corresponding behaviors in the control mode when the control condition is met. The control condition may be, for example, 10 pm, 8 am, and the like, and the control manner includes: control the first target device to turn on, turn off, adjust operating parameters, and the like. The operating parameters are different for different devices. For example, the operating parameters of the air conditioner include temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc., and the operating parameters of the desk lamp include brightness.

Continuing with the smart life application of fig. 2B as an example, a process of setting a control policy for the first target device on the mobile phone is described.

As shown in fig. 2b (d), when the mobile phone detects that the user clicks the "smart" control, an interface as shown in fig. 2c (a) is displayed, where the interface includes a condition setting input box 201, and the user may input a condition, such as time or other conditions, such as 10 pm; also included in the interface is a control mode input box 202 in which a user can set a control mode. For example, when the mobile phone detects an operation of clicking an add task, the mobile phone displays an interface as shown in fig. 2c (b), where the interface includes an identifier of a currently-accessed device, and the user may select to set an identifier of a certain device, for example, the user clicks a socket icon, and then the mobile phone displays an interface as shown in fig. 2c (c), where the interface includes settings for a control mode of the socket, for example, on and off. Assuming that the user selects "open" and clicks the "ok" button, the control conditions and control modes for the outlet can be set to completion. Specifically, the control condition of the socket is 10 pm, the control mode is that the socket is opened, when the mobile phone detects the operation of the "determine" control in fig. 2c (c), the interface shown in fig. 2c (d) is displayed, and if: at 10 pm, the following steps are carried out: and the socket is opened so that a user can conveniently check the control conditions and the control mode set for the socket. Of course, if the user wants to continue to add other controls to the socket, the user may continue to click the add task button in fig. 2c (d).

It should be noted that fig. 2C only shows an exemplary specific implementation manner for setting the control condition and the control manner of the first target device (such as an outlet), and the mobile phone may also set the control condition and the control manner of the first target device in other manners. For example, a voice button is included in a home page of the smart life application, and when a user presses the voice button for a long time, a voice command for setting a control condition and a control manner of a target device (e.g., a socket) is input, and the mobile phone sets the control condition and the control manner of the target device based on the voice command.

And S7, the mobile phone sends the control strategy of the first target device to the cloud.

S8, the cloud stores the policy of the first target device.

For example, the cloud stores a mapping relationship between the identifier of the first target device and the control policy of the first target device. As an example, please refer to table 1 below, which is an example of the mapping relationship.

TABLE 1

Target device	Controlling conditions	Control mode
			Socket with improved structure	10 o' clock in the evening	Starting socket

After the cloud establishes the mapping relationship between the identifier of the first target device and the control policy, the cloud may control the first target device based on the mapping relationship. For example, as follows in step S9.

And S9, when the cloud end determines that the control condition is met, controlling the first target device in a corresponding control mode.

For example, when the cloud determines that the current time is 10 pm, the cloud may send an instruction to the outlet to instruct the outlet to start. The socket is started after receiving the command sent by the cloud.

In the above embodiment, after the mobile phone application sets the control policy for the first target device, the control measurement of the first target device is sent to the cloud for storage, and the cloud performs remote control on the first target device based on the control policy. In this way, the requirement on the mobile phone is low, for example, after the mobile phone application sets a control strategy for the socket, even if the mobile phone is powered off, the first target device can be controlled through the cloud. Moreover, if the cloud controls the first target device, the mobile phone does not need to store the control strategy of the first target device, and the memory of the mobile phone can be saved.

Of course, besides controlling the first target device through the cloud end, the mobile phone may also directly control the first target device. Continuing with the above socket example, when the mobile phone determines that the current time is 10 pm, the mobile phone sends an instruction to the socket to instruct the socket to be started to control the socket to start. Or, the mobile phone may only determine whether the control condition is satisfied, and when the control condition is satisfied, send an instruction to the cloud end, so that the cloud end controls the first target device in a corresponding control mode.

The above embodiments describe a process in which a mobile phone application binds a target device and then sets a control policy of the target device.

Optionally, the mobile phone application may also release the binding relationship with the target device. For example, when the target device fails and cannot be used, the mobile phone may release the binding relationship with the target device. For example, taking fig. 2b (d) as an example, the mobile phone detects the operation of the socket icon, and displays the interface shown in fig. 2d (a), where the interface includes the relevant information of the socket and also includes the "more" button. When the mobile phone detects the operation of the "more" key, the mobile phone displays an interface as shown in fig. 2d (b), where the interface includes a control for deleting the device. And when the mobile phone detects that the user clicks the control of the deleting device, the binding relation with the socket is released. Specifically, the process of unbinding the binding relationship with the first target device (e.g., the old socket) may include: the mobile phone sends a command of deleting the first target device to the cloud, and after the cloud receives the command, the control conditions and the control modes of the first target device stored by the cloud are deleted. For example, the cloud deletes table 1 above. Therefore, the cloud no longer controls the first target device to execute the corresponding control mode.

Generally, when the target device fails and cannot be used, the user can use a new device. Continuing with the example where the first target device is a socket, a user may purchase a new socket to replace an old socket when a socket failure in the home is not available. However, the mobile phone application does not bind to the new socket, and the new socket needs to be bound to realize the control of the new socket. The manner of binding the new socket by the mobile phone application can be referred to the introduction of S5 in the foregoing, and is not repeated here. After the new socket is bound in the mobile phone application, the user may also set a control policy for the new socket, which is specifically described in S6, and will not be repeated here.

That is, when the binding relationship with the old device is released and the binding relationship with the new device is established, the user is required to reset the control policy for the new device. For example, after binding a new outlet, the user is required to reset the control conditions and control strategy for the new outlet in the manner shown in fig. 2C.

Consider one possible scenario: after the user purchases a new device, the control strategy set for the new device may be the same as the control strategy set for the old device, for example, the control condition set for the new socket by the user is still 10 pm, and the control mode is still to start the socket. In this case, it may not be convenient for the user to rebind the new device by unbinding the old device and set the control policy of the new device as described above. Therefore, the mobile phone can bind the new device by directly replacing the old device with the new device, and in brief, the control right of the mobile phone to the old device is replaced with the control right of the new device, so the control strategy of the old device is used for the new device, and the control strategy of the new device does not need to be reset.

The following describes the implementation principle of a new device directly replacing an old device to bind the new device.

Continuing with fig. 2A as an example, in the above steps S1 to S9, the mobile phone application has bound the first target device, and at this time, the mobile phone may replace the first target device with the second target device, that is, the control policy for the first target device is used along with the control policy for the second target device, and the control policy for the second target device does not need to be reset. The specific flow can be seen in steps S10 to S15 in fig. 2A.

And S10, the second target device logs in the router account.

S11, the handset receives a second operation to replace the first target device with a second target device.

For example, please refer to fig. 2d (a), when the mobile phone detects the operation of clicking the "more" button, the mobile phone displays an interface as shown in fig. 2d (b), where the interface includes a "device replacement" button. The second operation may be a click operation for a "device replacement" key.

And S12, the mobile phone is bound with the second target device.

The principle of binding the second target device by the mobile phone is the same as the principle of binding the first target device, and the description is omitted. For example, taking fig. 2d (b) as an example, when the mobile phone detects an operation of clicking a "device replacement" button, an interface as shown in fig. 2d (c) is displayed, and the mobile phone may scan a second target device in the interface to bind the second target device. For example, when the socket 2 is scanned, if the mobile phone detects that the user clicks the "connect" button, the mobile phone application is bound to the socket 2.

And S13, the mobile phone sends the indication information that the first target device is replaced by the second target device to the cloud.

And S14, replacing the first target device in the stored mapping relation with a second target device by the cloud.

In the above S7, the cloud end stores the mapping relationship between the identifier of the first target device and the control policy, for example, table 1, and the cloud end may replace the identifier of the first target device in the mapping relationship with the identifier of the second target device, for example, the above table 1 is updated as the following table 2:

TABLE 2

Target device	Controlling conditions	Control mode
			Socket 2	10 o' clock in the evening	Open socket 2

That is, the cloud replaces the first target device with the second target device.

On the mobile phone, taking fig. 2d (b) as an example, when the mobile phone detects an operation for the "device replacement" control, the mobile phone is bound to the socket 2 through the interface shown in fig. 2d (c). Thereafter, if the user views the control strategy for the outlet 2 on the handset, the handset displays the control strategy for the outlet 2, which is the control strategy for the socket 1 that is being carried over. For example, taking fig. 2b (d) as an example, when the mobile phone detects an operation for the "smart" control, the mobile phone displays an interface as shown in fig. 2E, where if: at 10 pm, the following steps are carried out: the outlet 2 is switched on, so that after the outlet 2 is replaced with the outlet 1, the user does not need to manually set the control strategy of the outlet 2.

After the cloud replaces the first target device with the second target device, when it is determined that the control condition is met, the cloud may control the second target device based on the corresponding control mode. Such as performing steps S15-S16.

And S15, when the cloud end determines that the control condition is met, controlling the second target device in a corresponding control mode.

For the cloud end to control the second target device, refer to the foregoing description of the control process of the first target device, and the description is not repeated here.

To summarize, in the above embodiment, the handset application may replace the old device with the new device, rather than delete the old deletion and re-bind the new device. In this way, the user only needs to click the "device replacement" control shown in fig. 2d (b) to bind the second target device, and does not need to reset the control policy for the second target device, so that the operation is convenient and fast, and the user experience is good.

Another embodiment is described below in which the handset can be unbound from the old device, but the cloud can retain the old device's control policy for a period of time. During this time, if the mobile phone is bound to the new device, the cloud end may replace the old device with the new device, that is, the newly applied control policy may defer the control policy of the old device. For example, please refer to fig. 3A, which is a schematic diagram of another flow of an apparatus control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, where the flow includes:

s301, the first target device logs in a router account.

S302, the mobile phone receives a first operation for opening the application.

And S393, the mobile phone opens the application. Such as smart life applications.

S304, the mobile phone controls the application to bind the router account.

S305, the mobile phone controls the application to bind the first target device.

See S1-S4 in fig. 2A for S301-S305, which have the same principle and are not repeated.

S306, the mobile phone sets the first characteristic of the first target device and sends the first characteristic of the first target device to a cloud.

The first characteristic may for example be a first name of the first target device, which first name may be set by the user. For example, please refer to the interface shown in fig. 2d (b), which includes an input box for naming the first target device, and the user inputs the first name of the first target device in the input box. For example, a fish bowl socket.

The first characteristic may also be a first location identification of the first target device, such as a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, etc. The first location identity may also be a user setting. Continuing with fig. 2d (b), the user may enter a first location identification of the first target device in the location input box. Such as a living room.

Of course, the first feature may be other contents besides the name and the location identifier, as long as it is convenient for the cloud to uniquely determine the target device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Or, the first feature may be a combination of a location identifier and a name, so as to improve accuracy of determining the target device by the cloud.

S307, the mobile phone sets a control strategy for the first target device.

S308, the mobile phone sends the control strategy of the first target device to the cloud.

S309, the cloud stores a mapping relation, wherein the mapping relation is a mapping relation between the first characteristic of the first target device and the control strategy of the first target device. For example, the mapping relationship may be as shown in table 3:

TABLE 3

Control mode of first characteristic control condition of first target equipment

Socket fish bowl socket, living room 10 o' clock open evening

And S310, when the cloud end determines that the control condition is met, controlling the first target device in a corresponding control mode.

S311, the mobile phone receives a third operation for deleting the first target device.

For example, the third operation may be an operation of clicking a control of "delete device" in fig. 2d (b).

S312, the mobile phone sends, to the cloud, indication information for indicating to delete the first target device.

Optionally, the indication information may include a first characteristic of the first target device.

S313, the cloud maintains the mapping relationship corresponding to the first target device within the preset duration.

Optionally, the cloud may record a first time for receiving the indication information, start a timer to time from the first time, and not delete the mapping relationship of the first target device until the timer reaches a preset time, for example, as in table 3 above. For example, the preset time period may be 1 day, 3 days, 5 days, or 1 week.

On the basis, if the first target device is deleted in the application, but the cloud does not delete the control policy of the first target device, nor does the cloud delete the first feature of the first target device.

And S314, the second target device logs in the router account.

And S315, the mobile phone binds the second target device.

And S316, the mobile phone sets the second characteristic of the second target device and sends the second characteristic of the second target device to the cloud.

The second characteristic may be a second name of the second target device, and/or a second location identification. For example, continuing with the socket example, after purchasing a new socket, the user still names the new socket as "aquarium socket" and sets its location label as "living room", and then the second feature is "aquarium socket" and/or "living room".

S317, the cloud determines that a time difference between a first time of deleting the first target device and a second time of receiving the second feature of the second target device does not exceed the preset duration, and the second feature is the same as or similar to the first feature.

It is assumed that the first feature includes a first name and a first location identity and the second feature includes a second name and a second location identity. The first characteristic and the second characteristic are the same or similar, including the first name and the second name are the same or similar, and the first location identity and the second location identity are the same or similar.

And S318, the cloud sends prompt information to the mobile phone to prompt the user whether to reuse the control strategy of the second target device.

Prompt information can be displayed on the mobile phone, as shown in fig. 3B, and the prompt information is whether to reuse the control strategy of the old fish tank socket. And if the mobile phone detects that the user clicks the operation of the 'yes' key, executing the control strategy for determining the reuse of the old equipment, and otherwise, not reusing the control strategy of the old equipment.

And S319, the mobile phone sends an instruction for determining the multiplexing of the control strategy of the second target device to the cloud.

And S320, the cloud replaces the identifier of the first target device in the stored mapping relation with the identifier of the second target device, and replaces the first characteristic with the second characteristic.

For example, the mapping relationship is, for example, table 3 above, and after the cloud replaces the old socket with the new socket, table 3 above may be updated to table 4 below:

TABLE 4

Second target device	Second characteristic	Controlling conditions	Control mode
				Socket 2	Fish bowl socket, sitting room	10 o' clock in the evening	Is opened

And after replacing the first target equipment with second target equipment, the cloud end controls the second target equipment based on the control strategy of the first target equipment. Specifically, S320 and S321 are included.

S321, when the cloud determines the determination control condition, controlling the second target device in a corresponding control manner.

In the above embodiments, the control policy for the target device is set by the user. It will be appreciated that the control strategy for the target device may also be set by default. For example, the interface shown in fig. 2c (a) displayed when the "my" option is selected may display the interface shown in fig. 4 when the "auto" option is selected, the interface including the exit mode and the home mode. For example, in the exit mode, the default control mode for all bound target devices is off; in the home mode, the default control mode for all bound target devices is open. Therefore, when the mobile phone detects the operation of selecting the exit mode, the mobile phone sends a command to the cloud, the command is used for indicating that the exit mode is set, and then the cloud controls all the bound target devices to be closed. When the mobile phone detects that the operation of returning home mode is selected, the mobile phone sends an instruction to the cloud, the instruction is used for indicating that the returning home mode is set, and then the cloud controls all the bound target devices to be started.

In this case, if the new device replaces the old device, the control policy for the new application may also follow the control policy for the old device (i.e., the default set control policy). For example, after the socket 1 is replaced with the socket 2, when the mobile phone detects an operation of selecting a home mode, the mobile phone sends a command to the cloud, where the command is used to indicate that the home mode is set, and then the cloud controls all target devices (including the socket 2) bound to be turned on.
