具体实施例Specific embodiment
下面将参照附图更详细地描述本公开的示例性实施例。虽然附图中显示了本公开的示例性实施例，然而应当理解，可以以各种形式实现本公开而不应被这里阐述的实施例所限制。相反，提供这些实施例是为了能够更透彻地理解本公开，并且能够将本公开的范围完整的传达给本领域的技术人员。Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While the embodiments of the present invention have been shown in the drawings, the embodiments Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be more fully understood and the scope of the disclosure will be fully disclosed.
图1示出了根据本发明一个实施例的一种智能音箱的示意图。如图1所示，该智能音箱100包括：FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a smart speaker in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the smart speaker 100 includes:
通信单元110，适于接收控制指定智能家居设备的控制请求，并将控制请求发送给中控单元。The communication unit 110 is adapted to receive a control request for controlling the designated smart home device, and send the control request to the central control unit.
该控制指定智能家居设备的控制请求是用户根据自己的需求通过智能终端等设备向该智能音箱发送的，控制指令可以通过有线传输、无线传输。例如无线传输可以使用的网络协议有WiFi、蓝牙、ZigBee、Thread。其中，Zigbee主要用于距离短、功耗低且传输速率不高的各种电子设备之间进行数据传输以及典型的有周期性数据、间歇性数据和低反应时间数据传输的应用；Thread为家庭物联网通讯协定技术。所以，不管是短距离的控制请求的发送还是长距离的控制请求发送，均可实现。The control designation of the control request of the smart home device is sent by the user to the smart speaker through a device such as a smart terminal according to his own needs, and the control command can be transmitted by wire or wirelessly. For example, the network protocols that can be used for wireless transmission are WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and Thread. Among them, Zigbee is mainly used for data transmission between various electronic devices with short distance, low power consumption and low transmission rate, and typical applications with periodic data, intermittent data and low response time data transmission; Thread is the family IoT protocol technology. Therefore, whether it is a short-distance control request transmission or a long-distance control request transmission, it can be realized.
该控制指定智能家居设备的控制请求可以是语音形式、也可以是控制数据形式。当通信单元110接收到控制指定智能家居设备的控制请求后，将控制请求发送给中控单元120，以便实现指定智能家居设备的控制。The control specifies that the control request of the smart home device may be in the form of voice or control data. After receiving the control request for controlling the designated smart home device, the communication unit 110 sends a control request to the central control unit 120 to implement control of the designated smart home device.
中控单元120，适于将控制请求发给控制命令解析单元进行解析获得相应的控制命令，并通过控制命令发送单元将控制命令发送给指定智能家居设备。The central control unit 120 is adapted to send a control request to the control command parsing unit for parsing to obtain a corresponding control command, and send the control command to the designated smart home device through the control command sending unit.
因为用户发送的控制请求无法被指定的智能家居设备直接识别，例如当用户发送的是音频形式的控制请求时，是无法被指定的智能家居设备直接识别的。所以当中控单元120接收到控制指定智能家居设备的控制请求后，需要控制命令解析单元130进行解析获得相应的控制命令，并通过控制命令发送单元将控制命令发送给指定智能家居设备。Because the control request sent by the user cannot be directly recognized by the designated smart home device, for example, when the user sends a control request in the form of audio, it cannot be directly recognized by the designated smart home device. Therefore, after receiving the control request for controlling the designated smart home device, the central control unit 120 needs to control the command parsing unit 130 to obtain a corresponding control command, and send the control command to the designated smart home device through the control command sending unit.
控制命令解析单元130，适于将控制请求解析成能够控制指定智能家居设备的控制命令。The control command parsing unit 130 is adapted to parse the control request into a control command capable of controlling the designated smart home device.
控制命令发送单元140，适于向智能家居设备发送控制命令，实现智能家居设备的控制。The control command sending unit 140 is adapted to send a control command to the smart home device to implement control of the smart home device.
在一个具体的例子中，用户通过手机发送的“拉上卧室窗帘”的控制请求，当智能音箱的通信单元110接收到“拉上卧室窗帘”的请求，并经过控制命令解析单元130获得一个控制卧室窗帘拉上的控制指令，然后中控单元120将该控制卧室窗帘拉上的控制指令发送给控制命令发送单元140，向卧室的窗帘发送拉上的命令。In a specific example, the control request of the user pulls the bedroom curtain through the mobile phone, when the communication unit 110 of the smart speaker receives the request to "pull up the bedroom curtain", and obtains a control through the control command parsing unit 130. The control command of the bedroom curtain is pulled, and then the central control unit 120 sends a control command for pulling the control bedroom curtain to the control command sending unit 140 to send a command to pull the curtain to the bedroom.
在另一个具体的例子中，用户通过手机的麦克风，发送的“厨房中的电饭锅开始工作”的控制请求，当智能音箱的通信单元110接收到“厨房中的电饭锅开始工作”的 请求，并经过控制命令解析单元130获得一个控制厨房中的电饭锅开始工作的控制指令，然后中控单元120将该厨房中的电饭锅开始工作的指令发送给控制命令发送单元140，向厨房中的电饭锅发送开始工作的命令。In another specific example, the user sends a control request of "the rice cooker in the kitchen starts working" through the microphone of the mobile phone, and when the communication unit 110 of the smart speaker receives the "the rice cooker in the kitchen starts to work" Requesting, and obtaining, by the control command parsing unit 130, a control command for controlling the start of work of the rice cooker in the kitchen, and then the central control unit 120 sends an instruction to start the operation of the rice cooker in the kitchen to the control command transmitting unit 140, The rice cooker in the kitchen sends a command to start work.
综上所述，本发明实现智能音箱作为控制服务器，接收控制指定智能家居设备的控制请求并向相应的智能家居设备发送控制指令的功能，进而实现了智能音箱的多功能化，增强用户体验。In summary, the present invention implements a smart speaker as a control server, receives a control request for controlling a designated smart home device, and transmits a control command to a corresponding smart home device, thereby realizing the multifunctional function of the smart speaker and enhancing the user experience.
图2示出了根据本发明另一个实施例的一种智能音箱的示意图。如图2所示，该智能音箱200包括：通信单元210、中控单元220、控制命令解析单元230、控制命令发送单元240和音频获取单元250。其中，通信单元210、中控单元220、控制命令解析单元230、控制命令发送单元240和图1所示的通信单元110、中控单元120、控制命令解析单元130、控制命令发送单元140具有对应相同的功能，相同的部分在此不再赘述。2 shows a schematic diagram of a smart speaker in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the smart speaker 200 includes a communication unit 210, a central control unit 220, a control command parsing unit 230, a control command transmitting unit 240, and an audio acquiring unit 250. The communication unit 210, the central control unit 220, the control command parsing unit 230, the control command transmitting unit 240, and the communication unit 110, the central control unit 120, the control command parsing unit 130, and the control command transmitting unit 140 shown in FIG. 1 have corresponding The same functions, the same parts will not be described here.
通信单元210，进一步适于接收请求指定音频的音频请求，并将所接收的音频请求发送给中控单元；将中控单元返回的音频数据发送给扬声器，以便扬声器播放该指定音频。The communication unit 210 is further adapted to receive an audio request requesting the specified audio, and send the received audio request to the central control unit; and send the audio data returned by the central control unit to the speaker, so that the speaker plays the specified audio.
中控单元220，进一步适于解析音频请求，根据解析结果向音频获取单元发送获取指定音频的指令；以及接收音频获取单元返回的指定音频的音频数据，并将指定音频的音频数据通过通信单元发送给扬声器；The central control unit 220 is further adapted to parse the audio request, send an instruction for acquiring the specified audio to the audio acquiring unit according to the parsing result; and receive the audio data of the specified audio returned by the audio acquiring unit, and send the audio data of the specified audio through the communication unit Give the speaker
音频获取单元250，适于根据中控单元的指令获取音频数据。这里的音频获取单元250，需要接收中控单元220发送的获取指定音频的指令，并根据该指令获取指定音频后，将该音频数据返回给中控单元220。The audio acquiring unit 250 is adapted to acquire audio data according to an instruction of the central control unit. Here, the audio obtaining unit 250 needs to receive an instruction for acquiring the specified audio sent by the central control unit 220, and after acquiring the specified audio according to the instruction, returns the audio data to the central control unit 220.
本发明中的智能音箱可以实现无线接收用户的控制请求，同样也可以通过无线接收用户的指定音频的音频请求。这里的无线通信包括短距离和长距离的。The smart speaker in the present invention can realize the wireless receiving user's control request, and can also receive the user's specified audio audio request wirelessly. Wireless communication here includes short distances and long distances.
为了实现无线短距离通信，如图2所示，在本发明的一个实施例中，通信单元210包括：短距离无线通信单元211，适于接收来自短距离无线通信麦克风的音频请求。In order to achieve wireless short-range communication, as shown in FIG. 2, in one embodiment of the present invention, the communication unit 210 includes a short-range wireless communication unit 211 adapted to receive an audio request from a short-range wireless communication microphone.
该智能音箱的功能实现是应用在家庭中，因此限于家庭内部中的简单控制，短距离无线通信即可满足要求。例如，WiFi通信、蓝牙通信、ZigBee通信、Thread通信。其中，Zigbee主要用于距离短、功耗低且传输速率不高的各种电子设备之间进行数据传输以及典型的有周期性数据、间歇性数据和低反应时间数据传输的应用；Thread为家庭物联网通讯协定技术。The function realization of the smart speaker is applied in the home, so it is limited to simple control in the home interior, and short-range wireless communication can meet the requirements. For example, WiFi communication, Bluetooth communication, ZigBee communication, Thread communication. Among them, Zigbee is mainly used for data transmission between various electronic devices with short distance, low power consumption and low transmission rate, and typical applications with periodic data, intermittent data and low response time data transmission; Thread is the family IoT protocol technology.
这样，当用户需要进行音频播放请求时，通过相应的具有短距离无线通信的麦克风，输入音频形式的指定音频的音频请求，就可以将指定音频的音频请求通过无线传输发送到智能音箱中。In this way, when the user needs to make an audio play request, the audio request of the specified audio in the form of audio is input through the corresponding microphone with short-range wireless communication, and the audio request of the specified audio can be transmitted to the smart speaker through wireless transmission.
智能音箱接收到用户通过麦克风发送的指定音频的音频请求后，在本发明的一个实施例中，中控单元220，适于将指定音频的音频数据通过短距离无线通信单元发 送给所能通信的所有短距离无线通信扬声器。After the smart speaker receives the audio request of the specified audio sent by the user through the microphone, in an embodiment of the present invention, the central control unit 220 is adapted to send the audio data of the specified audio through the short-range wireless communication unit. Send to all short-range wireless communication speakers that can communicate.
这里的所能通信的所有短距离无线通信扬声器可以是与发送请求的麦克风相应的一个或者多个扬声器。All short-range wireless communication speakers that can communicate here can be one or more speakers corresponding to the microphone that sent the request.
也就是说，当智能音箱接收到指定音频的音频请求后，可以同时控制一个或者多个扬声器进行同步播放，即多路同时播放同一个音频。That is to say, when the smart speaker receives the audio request of the specified audio, it can simultaneously control one or more speakers for synchronous play, that is, multiple channels simultaneously play the same audio.
当有不同的用户通过不同的麦克风向该智能音箱发送指定音频的音频请求时，需要智能音箱能够区分每个请求对应的音频数据，并能正确的给相应的扬声器返回音频数据。所以，在本发明的一个实施例中，中控单元220，适于预先保存各短距离无线通信麦克风和各短距离无线通信扬声器之间的配对关系；以及适于将指定音频的音频数据通过短距离无线通信单元发送给与发送音频请求的短距离无线通信麦克风有配对关系的短距离无线通信扬声器。例如，可以与智能音箱进行无线通信的房间1中的麦克风1和扬声器1；房间2中的麦克风2和扬声器2；房间3中的麦克风3和扬声器3，麦克风1和扬声器1是配对关系，麦克风2和扬声器2是配对关系，麦克风3和扬声器3是配对关系，那么中控单元220需要保存上述的各短距离无线通信麦克风和各短距离无线通信扬声器之间的配对关系。当房间1中的麦克风1发送音频请求数据时，需要将音频数据发送给对应的扬声器1，而不是扬声器2或扬声器3；当房间2中的麦克风2发送音频请求数据时，需要将音频数据发送给对应的扬声器2，而不是扬声器1或扬声器3。When different users send audio requests for the specified audio to the smart speaker through different microphones, the smart speaker is required to distinguish the audio data corresponding to each request and correctly return the audio data to the corresponding speaker. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the central control unit 220 is adapted to pre-store a pairing relationship between each short-range wireless communication microphone and each short-range wireless communication speaker; and is adapted to pass the audio data of the specified audio through the short The short-range wireless communication speaker that is transmitted by the wireless communication unit to the short-range wireless communication microphone that transmits the audio request. For example, the microphone 1 and the speaker 1 in the room 1 that can communicate wirelessly with the smart speaker; the microphone 2 and the speaker 2 in the room 2; the microphone 3 and the speaker 3 in the room 3, the microphone 1 and the speaker 1 are in a pairing relationship, the microphone 2 and the speaker 2 are in a pairing relationship, and the microphone 3 and the speaker 3 are in a pairing relationship, and the central control unit 220 needs to store the pairing relationship between each of the short-range wireless communication microphones described above and each of the short-range wireless communication speakers. When the microphone 1 in the room 1 transmits the audio request data, it is necessary to transmit the audio data to the corresponding speaker 1, instead of the speaker 2 or the speaker 3; when the microphone 2 in the room 2 transmits the audio request data, the audio data needs to be transmitted.

图6示出了根据本发明一个实施例的一种实现智能家居***的方法的流程图。如图6所示，该方法包括：6 shows a flow chart of a method of implementing a smart home system in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the method includes:
步骤S610，智能音箱接收控制指定智能家居设备的控制请求。Step S610, the smart speaker receives a control request for designating the smart home device.
该控制指定智能家居设备的控制请求是用户根据自己的需求通过智能终端等设备向该智能音箱发送的，控制指令可以通过有线传输、无线传输。例如无线传输可以使用的网络协议有WiFi、蓝牙、ZigBee、Thread。其中，Zigbee主要用于距离短、功耗低且传输速率不高的各种电子设备之间进行数据传输以及典型的有周期性数据、间歇性数据和低反应时间数据传输的应用；Thread为家庭物联网通讯协定技术。所以，不管是短距离的控制请求的发送还是长距离的控制请求发送，均可实现。The control designation of the control request of the smart home device is sent by the user to the smart speaker through a device such as a smart terminal according to his own needs, and the control command can be transmitted by wire or wirelessly. For example, the network protocols that can be used for wireless transmission are WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and Thread. Among them, Zigbee is mainly used for data transmission between various electronic devices with short distance, low power consumption and low transmission rate, and typical applications with periodic data, intermittent data and low response time data transmission; Thread is the family IoT protocol technology. Therefore, whether it is a short-distance control request transmission or a long-distance control request transmission, it can be realized.
该控制指定智能家居设备的控制请求可以是语音形式、也可以是控制数据形式。The control specifies that the control request of the smart home device may be in the form of voice or control data.
步骤S620，智能音箱对该控制请求进行解析，解析成能够控制指定智能家居设备的控制命令。In step S620, the smart speaker parses the control request and parses it into a control command capable of controlling the designated smart home device.
因为用户发送的控制请求无法被指定的智能家居设备直接识别，例如当用户发送的是音频形式的控制请求时，是无法被指定的智能家居设备直接识别的。所以当智能音箱接收到控制指定智能家居设备的控制请求后，需要对控制请求进行解析获得相应的控制命令。Because the control request sent by the user cannot be directly recognized by the designated smart home device, for example, when the user sends a control request in the form of audio, it cannot be directly recognized by the designated smart home device. Therefore, when the smart speaker receives the control request for controlling the designated smart home device, it needs to parse the control request to obtain the corresponding control command.
步骤S630，智能音箱将控制命令发送给指定智能家居设备，实现智能家居设备的控制。In step S630, the smart speaker sends a control command to the designated smart home device to implement control of the smart home device.
在一个具体的例子中，用户通过手机发送的“拉上卧室窗帘”的控制请求，当智能 音箱接收到“拉上卧室窗帘”的请求，并经过解析获得一个控制卧室窗帘拉上的控制指令，然后将该控制卧室窗帘拉上的控制指令发送给向卧室的窗帘，实现窗帘拉上的动作。In a specific example, the user sends a control request to "pull up the bedroom curtains" via the mobile phone, when smart The speaker receives the request to “pull up the bedroom curtains” and obtains a control command to control the curtains on the bedroom, and then sends the control command to control the curtains of the bedroom to the curtains in the bedroom to realize the movement of the curtains. .
在另一个具体的例子中，用户通过手机的麦克风，发送的“厨房中的电饭锅开始工作”的控制请求，当智能音箱接收到“厨房中的电饭锅开始工作”的请求，并经过解析获得一个控制厨房中的电饭锅开始工作的控制指令，然后将该厨房中的电饭锅开始工作的指令发送给厨房中的电饭锅，实现电饭锅开始工作的动作。In another specific example, the user sends a request for control of "the rice cooker in the kitchen starts working" through the microphone of the mobile phone, and when the smart speaker receives the request "the rice cooker in the kitchen starts to work", and passes through The analysis obtains a control command for controlling the start of work of the rice cooker in the kitchen, and then sends an instruction to start the work of the rice cooker in the kitchen to the rice cooker in the kitchen to realize the action of starting the work of the rice cooker.
综上所述，本发明实现智能音箱作为控制服务器，接收控制指定智能家居设备的控制请求并向相应的智能家居设备发送控制指令的功能，进而实现了智能音箱的多功能化，增强用户体验。In summary, the present invention implements a smart speaker as a control server, receives a control request for controlling a designated smart home device, and transmits a control command to a corresponding smart home device, thereby realizing the multifunctional function of the smart speaker and enhancing the user experience.
在本发明的一个实施例中，图6所示的方法进一步包括：In an embodiment of the invention, the method shown in FIG. 6 further includes:
智能音箱接收请求指定音频的音频请求；智能音箱解析该音频请求，根据解析结果获取指定音频的音频数据；智能音箱将指定音频的音频数据发送给扬声器。The smart speaker receives an audio request requesting the specified audio; the smart speaker parses the audio request, and obtains audio data of the specified audio according to the parsing result; the smart speaker sends the audio data of the specified audio to the speaker.
本发明中的智能音箱可以实现无线接收用户的控制请求，同样也可以通过无线接收用户的指定音频的音频请求。这里的无线通信包括短距离和长距离的。The smart speaker in the present invention can realize the wireless receiving user's control request, and can also receive the user's specified audio audio request wirelessly. Wireless communication here includes short distances and long distances.
在本发明的一个实施例中，上述的智能音箱接收请求指定音频的音频请求包括：智能音箱接收来自短距离无线通信麦克风的音频请求。In one embodiment of the invention, the above-mentioned smart speaker receiving an audio request requesting the specified audio includes the smart speaker receiving an audio request from the short-range wireless communication microphone.
该智能音箱的功能实现是应用在家庭中，因此限于家庭内部中的简单控制，短距离无线通信即可满足要求。例如，WiFi通信、蓝牙通信、ZigBee通信、Thread通信。其中，Zigbee主要用于距离短、功耗低且传输速率不高的各种电子设备之间进行数据传输以及典型的有周期性数据、间歇性数据和低反应时间数据传输的应用；Thread为家庭物联网通讯协定技术。The function realization of the smart speaker is applied in the home, so it is limited to simple control in the home interior, and short-range wireless communication can meet the requirements. For example, WiFi communication, Bluetooth communication, ZigBee communication, Thread communication. Among them, Zigbee is mainly used for data transmission between various electronic devices with short distance, low power consumption and low transmission rate, and typical applications with periodic data, intermittent data and low response time data transmission; Thread is the family IoT protocol technology.
这样，当用户需要进行音频播放请求时，通过相应的具有短距离无线通信的麦克风，输入音频形式的指定音频的音频请求，就可以将指定音频的音频请求通过无线传输发送到智能音箱中。In this way, when the user needs to make an audio play request, the audio request of the specified audio in the form of audio is input through the corresponding microphone with short-range wireless communication, and the audio request of the specified audio can be transmitted to the smart speaker through wireless transmission.
智能音箱接收到用户通过麦克风发送的指定音频的音频请求后，在本发明的一个实施例中，上述的智能音箱将指定音频的音频数据发送给扬声器包括：智能音箱将指定音频的音频数据通过短距离无线通信方式发送给所能通信的所有短距离无线通信扬声器。After the smart speaker receives the audio request of the specified audio sent by the user through the microphone, in one embodiment of the present invention, the smart speaker sends the audio data of the specified audio to the speaker, including: the smart speaker passes the audio data of the specified audio through the short The distance is wirelessly transmitted to all short-range wireless communication speakers that can communicate.
这里的所能通信的所有短距离无线通信扬声器可以是与发送请求的麦克风相应的一个或者多个扬声器。All short-range wireless communication speakers that can communicate here can be one or more speakers corresponding to the microphone that sent the request.
也就是说，当智能音箱接收到指定音频的音频请求后，可以同时控制一个或者多个扬声器进行同步播放，即多路同时播放同一个音频。That is to say, when the smart speaker receives the audio request of the specified audio, it can simultaneously control one or more speakers for synchronous play, that is, multiple channels simultaneously play the same audio.
当有不同的用户通过不同的麦克风向该智能音箱发送指定音频的音频请求时，需要智能音箱能够区分每个请求对应的音频数据，并能正确的给相应的扬声器返回音频数据。所以，在本发明的一个实施例中，智能音箱将指定音频的音频数据发送 给扬声器包括：智能音箱预先保存各短距离无线通信麦克风和各短距离无线通信扬声器之间的配对关系；智能音箱将指定音频的音频数据通过短距离无线通信方式发送给与发送音频请求的短距离无线通信麦克风有配对关系的短距离无线通信扬声器。When different users send audio requests for the specified audio to the smart speaker through different microphones, the smart speaker is required to distinguish the audio data corresponding to each request and correctly return the audio data to the corresponding speaker. Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the smart speaker transmits audio data of the specified audio. The speaker includes: the smart speaker pre-stores the pairing relationship between each short-range wireless communication microphone and each short-range wireless communication speaker; the smart speaker transmits the audio data of the specified audio to the short distance with the transmitted audio request by short-range wireless communication The wireless communication microphone has a paired short-range wireless communication speaker.
例如，可以与智能音箱进行无线通信的房间1中的麦克风1和扬声器1；房间2中的麦克风2和扬声器2；房间3中的麦克风3和扬声器3，麦克风1和扬声器1是配对关系，麦克风2和扬声器2是配对关系，麦克风3和扬声器3是配对关系，那么智能音箱需要保存上述的各短距离无线通信麦克风和各短距离无线通信扬声器之间的配对关系。当房间1中的麦克风1发送音频请求数据时，需要将音频数据发送给对应的扬声器1，而不是扬声器2或扬声器3；当房间2中的麦克风2发送音频请求数据时，需要将音频数据发送给对应的扬声器2，而不是扬声器1或扬声器3。For example, the microphone 1 and the speaker 1 in the room 1 that can communicate wirelessly with the smart speaker; the microphone 2 and the speaker 2 in the room 2; the microphone 3 and the speaker 3 in the room 3, the microphone 1 and the speaker 1 are in a pairing relationship, the microphone 2 and the speaker 2 are in a pairing relationship, and the microphone 3 and the speaker 3 are in a pairing relationship, and then the smart speaker needs to store the pairing relationship between the short-range wireless communication microphones described above and the short-range wireless communication speakers. When the microphone 1 in the room 1 transmits the audio request data, it is necessary to transmit the audio data to the corresponding speaker 1, instead of the speaker 2 or the speaker 3; when the microphone 2 in the room 2 transmits the audio request data, the audio data needs to be transmitted. Give the corresponding speaker 2 instead of the speaker 1 or the speaker 3.
也就是说，当智能音箱接收到指定音频的音频请求后，可以控制多个扬声器进行异步播放，即每一路播放的音频都可不同。That is to say, when the smart speaker receives the audio request of the specified audio, it can control multiple speakers for asynchronous play, that is, the audio played by each channel can be different.
在本发明的一个实施例中，上述的智能音箱接收请求指定音频的音频请求包括：智能音箱通过互联网接收来自智能终端的在指定的一个或多个扬声器上播放指定音频的音频请求；则上述的智能音箱将指定音频的音频数据发送给扬声器包括：智能音箱通过短距离无线通信方式将指定音频的音频数据发送给指定的一个或多个扬声器。In an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned smart speaker receiving an audio request requesting the specified audio includes: the smart speaker receiving an audio request from the smart terminal to play the specified audio on the designated one or more speakers through the Internet; The smart speaker sends the audio data of the specified audio to the speaker. The smart speaker transmits the audio data of the specified audio to the designated one or more speakers by short-range wireless communication.
当用户在当前时间并没有在家里，但是想通过发送控制请求控制家中的扬声器进行播放音频，以便给家中其他成员进行欣赏。用户就可以通过账号体系进行登陆后，使用智能终端，通过互联网进行音频请求，同时在智能终端可提供请求的设置界面，用户可以设置一个或者多个扬声器进行同步播放一个音频，也可以设置多个扬声器进行异步播放，即播放不同的音频。When the user is not at home at the current time, but wants to control the speaker in the home by sending a control request to play the audio, in order to enjoy the other members of the home. After logging in through the account system, the user can use the smart terminal to make an audio request through the Internet, and at the same time, the smart terminal can provide a request setting interface, and the user can set one or more speakers to play an audio synchronously, or set multiple The speaker plays asynchronously, that is, plays different audio.
基于上述说明，智能音箱通过无线通信接收的是音频请求。可预见的是，智能音箱可以通过无线通信实现用户发送的其他控制请求。所以，在本发明的一个实施例中，步骤S610中的智能音箱接收控制指定智能家居设备的控制请求包括：智能音箱通过短距离无线通信方式接收来自短距离无线通信麦克风的控制指定智能家居设备的音频形式的控制请求；和/或，智能音箱通过互联网接收来自智能终端的控制指定智能家居设备的音控制请求。Based on the above description, the smart speaker receives an audio request through wireless communication.
