Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

BLE (Bluetooth) Low Energy, mainly used realizes the continuous connection between terminal (like cell-phone system, intelligent bracelet etc.) and the peripheral equipment (like the air conditioner), is the short distance wireless communication technique that the consumption is extremely Low to effective transmission distance has been promoted more than 100 meters.

The low-power consumption is that BLE is obvious relatively and outstanding characteristics, also because the low-power consumption characteristics of BLE for BLE is often used intelligent control end (like cell-phone system, intelligent bracelet etc.). The low power consumption is a basic requirement of the intelligent control end (such as a mobile phone system, an intelligent bracelet and the like) on BLE, on one hand, the using time of the intelligent control end (such as the mobile phone system, the intelligent bracelet and the like) on BLE can be prolonged, and on the other hand, the heating degree of the intelligent control end (such as the mobile phone system, the intelligent bracelet and the like) in the moving process in the broadcasting state and the connection state can be reduced.

Considering that timing information obtained by timing modes such as APP timing, cloud timing, WIFI timing, etc. of the terminal is not uniformly managed, for example: whether the remote controller is timed or not is not clear when the WIFI is used for timing, and the use by a user is inconvenient. Through BLE connection, the equipment can be timed without accessing the Internet, so that the synchronization of the timing information of the equipment is convenient to realize, and convenience is brought to the use of a user. Therefore, the scheme of the invention provides a method for realizing timing synchronization of household appliances (such as an air conditioner) based on BLE.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a timing control method based on BLE is provided, as shown in fig. 1, which is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of the method of the present invention. The BLE-based timing control method may be applied to timing control between a timing device and a target device. The target device can be a household appliance with a timing function, such as an air conditioner with a timing function. The timing device is at least one of a terminal and a remote controller of the target device. The terminal can realize timing control over the target device based on BLE, specifically, can communicate with the target device based on BLE, and can time the target device based on BLE. The number of the terminals is more than one. Each of the more than one terminals can synchronously display the timing information of the target equipment by the remote controller of the target equipment and/or other terminals in the more than one terminals, can receive sharing information of the target equipment and/or other terminals in the more than one terminals synchronously displaying the timing information of the target equipment by the remote controller of the target equipment by the other terminals in the more than one terminals, and can share the information of the target equipment and/or other terminals in the more than one terminals synchronously displaying the timing information of the target equipment by the remote controller of the target equipment by the terminal to the other terminals in the more than one terminals. In the following, any one of the one or more terminals is referred to as a first terminal, and the other terminals of the one or more terminals are referred to as second terminals, and the scheme of the present invention is exemplarily described from the perspective of the first terminal of the one or more terminals.

On the first terminal side, the BLE-based timing control method includes: step S110 to step S130.

At step S110, at the first terminal, obtaining a current timing time of the target device, obtaining a current target timing time set by the target device based on the received current timing time, obtaining a current countdown time for the target device to count down based on the current target timing time, and obtaining a current environment time where the target device is located.

In some embodiments, in step S110, acquiring, at the first terminal side, a current target timing time set by the target device based on the received current timing time, and acquiring a current countdown time for the target device to count down based on the current target timing time, includes: accessing, at the first terminal side, control information of the target device based on BLE, and if the control information includes the current target timing time and the current countdown time, acquiring the current target timing time and the current countdown time from the control information.

In some embodiments, in step S110, acquiring, at the first terminal side, a current environment time at a location of the target device includes: and acquiring the clock time of the terminal at the first terminal side, namely acquiring the clock time of the first terminal as the current environment time of the location of the target equipment.

Fig. 6 is a timing synchronization flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for implementing timing synchronization of an electric home appliance (e.g., an air conditioner) based on BLE. As shown in fig. 6 and fig. 7 as examples, the scheme of the present invention provides a method for implementing timing synchronization of an electric home appliance (e.g., an air conditioner) based on BLE, including:

step 1, setting timing by a remote controller, wherein the timing of the remote controller generally takes 30 minutes as an interval, for example: 30 minutes, 1 hour 30 minutes, etc.

And 2, after receiving the timing of the remote controller, the main control module sets the target timing time r to be 30 minutes, starts to count down, and sets parameters to store the calculated count down in real time. The parameter set by the main control module is countdown time m, and the maximum value of the countdown time m after the minutes is converted cannot be larger than the target timing time.

At step S120, at the first terminal side, determining current timing information of the target device according to the current target timing time, the current countdown time, and the current environment time.

In some embodiments, a specific procedure of determining, at the first terminal side in step S120, the current timing information of the target device according to the current target timing time, the current countdown time, and the current environment time is described in the following exemplary description.

The following further describes a specific process of determining the current timing information of the target device in step S120, with reference to a flowchart of an embodiment of determining the current timing information of the target device in the method of the present invention shown in fig. 2, where the process includes: step S210 and step S220.

Step S210, at the first terminal, summing the difference between the current environment information and the current countdown time and the current target time to obtain a calculated time.

Step S220, at the first terminal, using the calculated time as the current timing information of the target device.

As shown in fig. 6 and fig. 7, in an aspect of the present invention, a method for implementing timing synchronization of an electric home appliance (e.g., an air conditioner) based on BLE further includes:

step 4, the small program sets a thread to regularly acquire information to the main control module, wherein the information includes timing information, the main acquired information is target timing time r, countdown time m is calculated, current time is set to be n, time timing can be converted through calculation, and the calculation formula is as follows: current time n-countdown time m + target timing time r = applet display time.

At step S130, at the first terminal side, the current timing information is displayed and/or reminded.

Wherein the current timing time of the target device is a latest timing time among timing times set to the target device by at least one of the remote controller, the terminal, and other terminals. The terminal is a first terminal, and the other terminals are second terminals. The current timing time is the timing time set by the remote controller to the air conditioner.

The current target time is a target time set by the target apparatus based on a current timing time set by the timing apparatus. Specifically, the current target timing time is a target timing time set for the target device itself by the target device after receiving the current timing time. And the target equipment sets the corresponding target timing time immediately after receiving one current timing time. A current target timing time such as a target timing time r set by the air conditioner based on the timing time set by the remote controller.

The current countdown time is the latest time obtained by countdown in the process of countdown performed by the target device based on the current target time, namely the time from countdown to the current time. And after the target equipment sets a current target timing time, performing new countdown based on the current target timing time. The current countdown time is, for example, a countdown time m set by the air conditioner based on the target timing time r.

And the current environment time is the clock time of the location of the target equipment. The current ambient time at the location of the target device, such as the current time n at the location of the air conditioner.

Fig. 7 is a schematic timing synchronization structure diagram of an embodiment of a system for implementing timing synchronization of an electric home appliance (e.g., an air conditioner) based on BLE. As shown in fig. 7, the solution of the present invention mainly includes three modules, which are a remote controller, a main control module (e.g., a main control module controller MCU of a household appliance (e.g., an air conditioner)), and a terminal (specifically, a applet of the terminal), where the remote controller is connected to the main control module controller MCU of the household appliance (e.g., the air conditioner) through an infrared mode or a radio frequency mode, and the applet of the terminal is connected to the main control module controller MCU of the household appliance (e.g., the air conditioner) through BLE. The remote controller and the terminal can be timed.

Referring to the example shown in fig. 7, the remote controller sets the timing in a one-way control manner, and the timing information cannot be synchronized reversely. The one-way control means that the remote control only sends a timing instruction and does not synchronize timing information of other terminals. The remote controller can transmit timing information, but does not have the capability of synchronizing information with a server or other terminals. The remote controller is different from other remote controllers, and timing can be cancelled independently when timing is available. The remote controller can also set timing, the remote controller in the related scheme can carry countdown information each time the remote controller controls, and the remote controller is different from other remote controllers in that the timing information can be adjusted only when the remote controller is used for setting a timing position. And at other times, the timing information of the remote controller is not processed, and only other control information is processed.

Referring to the example shown in fig. 7, the main control module is a core module for implementing timing synchronization for each terminal, and timing synchronization for each terminal depends on the main control module.

According to the scheme, based on a BLE low-power-consumption mode, the timing information can be synchronized without requiring equipment to access the Internet, the timing information is uniformly managed, the counting target timing and the actual counting countdown of the main control module are calculated, the time timing conversion is realized through formula conversion, the time timing conversion is displayed to a user through visual UI interaction, the timing operation of the user is recorded, and more references are made for the user operation timing. Therefore, through BLE low-power consumption timing, the technical limitation that timing can only exist in the Internet is solved. In addition, timing is set on the remote controller, timing information sent by the remote controller is recorded, the BLE is transmitted to the small program, the small program acquires the timing information, accurate timing can be achieved, and the problem that the remote controller has large errors in calculation timing is solved.

In some embodiments, the displaying and/or reminding the current timing information at the first terminal side in step S130 includes: at the first terminal side, after the current timing information of the target equipment is determined, displaying and/or reminding the current timing information through a UI (user interface), and sharing the current timing information to other terminals; or, at the first terminal side, receiving the current timing information shared by other terminals, and displaying and/or reminding the current timing information shared by other terminals through a UI.

Referring to the example shown in fig. 7, the terminal timing adopts bidirectional timing (i.e., timing of the main control module can be synchronized), and timing of the remote controller or timing of other applets can be synchronized by the main control module (the applets have a sharing function, bound devices can be shared to other users by the two-dimensional code, and other users controlled by scanning the code are also independent control individuals). The small program sets a fixed interactive logic with the main control module, can communicate with the main control module through a thread or a timer request, and after acquiring the protocol content, interprets the protocol according to the appointed content and displays the timing content.

In some embodiments, at the first terminal side, the BLE-based timing control method further includes at least one of the following additional control procedures:

a first additional control process: and (3) marking the timing device.

The following further describes a specific process of marking the timing device with reference to a schematic flow chart of an embodiment of marking the timing device in the method of the present invention shown in fig. 3, including: step S310 and step S320.

Step S310, at the first terminal, obtaining the mark information of the timing device set with the current timing time.

Step S320, at the first terminal, according to the obtained flag information, the timing device that sets the current timing time is flagged, so that the user can know which timing device specifically performs timing setting on the target device.

As shown in fig. 6 and fig. 7, in an example, the method for implementing timing synchronization of an electric home appliance (such as an air conditioner) based on BLE according to an aspect of the present invention further includes: and 3, after receiving the timing of the remote controller, the master control module juxtaposing the timing position of the remote controller to be 1.

A second additional control process: and (3) intervening the countdown information of the target equipment so as to improve the timing accuracy of the target equipment.

With reference to the flowchart of fig. 4, a specific process of intervening in the countdown information of the target device in the method of the present invention is further described, which includes: step S410 to step S440.

Step S410, at the first terminal, after determining the current timing information of the target device, or after receiving the current timing information shared by other terminals, sending the current timing information as a new current timing time to the target device, so that the target device sets a new current target timing time based on the new current timing time, and further sets a new current countdown time based on the new current target timing time.

Step S420, at the first terminal, obtaining a new current timing time of the target device, obtaining a new current target timing time set by the target device based on the received new current timing time, obtaining a new current countdown time for the target device to count down based on the new current target timing time, and obtaining a new current environment time of a location of the target device.

Step S430, at the first terminal side, determining new current timing information of the target device according to the new current target timing time, the new current countdown time, and the new current environment time.

Step S440, displaying and/or reminding the new current timing information at the first terminal side.

Specifically, at the first terminal side, after sending the current timing information as new current timing time to the target device, obtaining new current timing time of the target device, obtaining new current target timing time set by the target device based on the received new current timing time, obtaining new current countdown time obtained by the target device counting down based on the new current target timing time, and obtaining new current environment time of a location of the target device.

Further, at the first terminal side, determining new current timing information of the target device according to the new current target timing time, the new current countdown time, and the new current environment time.

And then, displaying and/or reminding the new current timing information at the first terminal side.

As shown in fig. 6 and fig. 7, in an example, the method for implementing timing synchronization of an electric home appliance (such as an air conditioner) based on BLE according to an aspect of the present invention further includes:

and 5, after conversion, turning the timing of the remote controller to the timing of the applet, defaulting timing which is not to be changed when the timing position of the remote controller is not operated, controlling a frame of the remote controller, not processing the timing information by the main control module, and only processing the timing information in the control frame of the applet, wherein if the timing of the applet or the remote controller is not received, the main control module performs countdown timing.

For example: after timing 1 hour, shutting down, after setting timing, operating some modes (such as heating mode, cooling mode, etc.), although the protocol also has timing information, but not processing. Since it is only processed when the timing bits of the timing frame are set. The countdown information is stored in the main control module, if the countdown time is 3000s, the communication time between the applet and the main control module is 10:28 minutes (neglecting the time of communication), 3000s 50 minutes. The applet shows the time 11: and 18 minutes, when the small program is controlled, the time displayed by the small program is transmitted to the main control module, and the main control module stores the time.

And 6, after the conversion is carried out, the small program records the time and times, and recalculates the rest time during each control, and sends the recalculated time to the main control module, so that the main control module is used for counting down.

For example: here, the main control module stores two variables, one of which is time timing (10 minutes), and the other is a countdown (5558 s), which counts down in seconds, and when the countdown is 0, performs a timing operation. Therefore, timing synchronization is achieved by adopting BLE without internet timing and cloud timing.

According to the scheme, based on a BLE low-power consumption mode, the timing information can be synchronized without requiring the equipment to be connected to the Internet, the timing information is managed uniformly, the counting target timing and the actual counting countdown of the main control module are calculated, time timing conversion is realized through formula conversion, the time timing conversion is displayed to a user through visual UI (user interface) interaction, the timing operation of the user is recorded, and more references are made for the user operation timing. The time is timed through the small program, the participation of the user is increased in interaction, and the timing accuracy is also improved. Moreover, the BLE low-power consumption synchronous timing information and the interface synchronously display timing, so that a user can clearly know whether the current equipment has timing or not and whether the current equipment needs to be adjusted, and great convenience is brought to the user.

By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment, the applet is arranged at the terminal, so that the applet and the main control module of the household appliance (such as an air conditioner) realize the calculation and display of the timing information received by the main control module of the household appliance (such as the air conditioner) based on BLE communication, and the synchronization of the timing information set by the household appliance (such as the air conditioner) through a remote controller or other terminals is realized, so that the timing information synchronization of the timing function of the household appliance (such as the air conditioner) is realized based on BLE, and the use of a user is facilitated.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided a BLE-based timing control device corresponding to the BLE-based timing control method. Referring to fig. 5, a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention is shown. The BLE-based timing control apparatus may be applied to timing control between a timing device and a target device. The target device can be a household appliance with a timing function, such as an air conditioner with a timing function. The timing device is at least one of a terminal and a remote controller of the target device. The terminal is capable of controlling timing of the target device based on BLE, specifically, capable of communicating with the target device based on BLE, and capable of timing the target device based on BLE. The number of the terminals is more than one. More than one every terminal in the terminal can be right the remote controller of target device is right target device and/or more than one other terminal in the terminal is to the timing information of target device carries out synchronous display, can accept more than one other terminal in the terminal is to the remote controller of target device is right target device and/or more than one other terminal in the terminal carries out synchronous display's sharing information to the timing information of target device, also can be right self the remote controller of target device is right target device and/or more than one other terminal in the terminal carries out synchronous display's information to the timing information of target device and shares more than one other terminal in the terminal. In the following, any one of the one or more terminals is referred to as a first terminal, and the other terminals of the one or more terminals are referred to as second terminals, and the scheme of the present invention is exemplarily described from the perspective of the first terminal of the one or more terminals.

For example: after timing 1 hour, the system is shut down, and after setting the timing, some modes (such as a heating mode, a cooling mode and the like) are operated, although timing information is also in the protocol, the protocol is not processed. Since it is only processed when the timing bits of the timing frame are set. The countdown information is stored in the main control module, if the countdown time is 3000s, the communication time between the applet and the main control module is 10:28 minutes (ignoring communication time), 3000s 50 minutes. The small program shows a time of 11: and 18 minutes, when the small program is controlled, the time displayed by the small program is transmitted to the main control module, and the main control module stores the time.

For example: here, the main control module stores two variables, one is time timing (10 minutes), the other is a countdown (5558 s), the countdown is performed in units of seconds, and when the countdown is 0, the timing operation is performed. Therefore, timing synchronization is achieved by adopting BLE without internet timing and cloud timing.
