Along with the development of intelligent hardware technology, more and more intelligent home devices are used in the home environment, and in the related technology, when the intelligent home devices are controlled, the intelligent home devices can be controlled by operating a remote controller or an intelligent terminal such as a smart phone or a tablet personal computer which is matched with the intelligent home devices. However, when the remote controller or the smart terminal is used to control the smart home device, the user needs to stare at the operation keys of the remote controller or the operation interface of the smart terminal, and blind control cannot be achieved. In order to solve the above problem, the present disclosure provides an apparatus control method and device.

The following first introduces a device control method provided by the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 1A, fig. 1A is a flowchart illustrating a device control method according to an exemplary embodiment, and is applied to a remote control device, where the remote control device is communicatively connected with a gateway device through a ZigBee protocol, and the method may include the following steps:

in step 101, after detecting the generation of the motion signal, a first time of the generation of the last motion signal is acquired.

The remote control device in this embodiment may include: electronic equipment such as a magic cube sensor, a smart phone, a tablet personal computer and a mouse, which are internally provided with a three-axis acceleration sensor and a gyroscope. The remote control device in this embodiment may be in communication connection with the gateway device through a ZigBee protocol, so as to control the smart home device in the home environment through the gateway device.

The ZigBee protocol is a low-power consumption local area network protocol based on an IEEE802.15.4 standard (2.4Ghz frequency band), is a short-distance and low-power consumption wireless communication technology, has the advantages of self-networking capability and capability of supporting 65000 equipment networking, and has another advantage of high safety and difficulty in cracking for smart homes.

The three-axis acceleration sensor in this embodiment can measure acceleration due to gravity, and can also measure acceleration due to traction.

Based on the above, in one possible embodiment, whether the generation of the motion signal is detected may be determined by a three-axis acceleration sensor in the remote control device, and accordingly, when the generation of the acceleration signal is detected by the three-axis acceleration sensor in the remote control device, the generation of the motion signal is determined.

In step 102, when the time difference between the first time and the current second time is smaller than the time difference threshold, a current first motion track of the remote control device is obtained.

In this embodiment, whether the motion corresponding to the currently generated motion signal and the motion corresponding to the last generated motion signal are consecutive motions may be determined according to a time difference between the first time and the current second time, and when the time difference between the first time and the current second time is smaller than a time difference threshold, it is determined that the two motions are consecutive motions, and at this time, the current first motion trajectory of the remote control device is obtained.

It should be noted that the time difference threshold in this embodiment may be set empirically, or may be customized according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

The first motion profile in this embodiment may include: planar movement, rotation such as 90 degree flip, 180 degree flip, flip-up rotation, and the like.

In this embodiment, when the three-axis acceleration sensor detects that an acceleration signal is generated and the gyroscope does not detect that the angle changes, the first motion trajectory is determined to be planar movement, and when the gyroscope detects that the angle changes, the first motion trajectory is determined to be rotation. Furthermore, the turning angle of the remote control device can be determined by detecting a specific angle change value through a gyroscope. Similarly, it may also be determined that the first motion trajectory acquired by the remote control device is plane movement or rotation according to the trajectory determination principle.

In step 103, the first motion trajectory is combined with the motion trajectory already acquired by the remote control device to generate a second motion trajectory.

In this embodiment, the time when the motion signal is generated and the state of the motion signal generated may be recorded, so that the motion trajectory acquired by the remote control device may be directly extracted from the recorded time and state of the motion information when trajectory merging is required.

In step 104, when it is determined that the complete second motion trajectory has been acquired, the acquisition of the motion trajectory is ended, and a first control instruction carrying the second motion trajectory is generated.

In this embodiment, whether the complete second motion trajectory is acquired may be determined by detecting the motion signal, and in a possible implementation, when the motion signal is not detected within a predetermined time length, it is determined that the complete second motion trajectory is acquired.

It should be noted that the preset time length in this embodiment may be set empirically or may be customized according to actual requirements, and this embodiment does not limit this.

In step 105, a first control instruction is sent to the gateway device through the ZigBee protocol, where the first control instruction is used to instruct the gateway device to control the target device according to the second motion trajectory.

The gateway device in this embodiment is used to connect the smart home devices in the home environment, and the smart home devices access the network through the gateway device. The gateway device in this embodiment may be integrated with radio, night light, and alarm clock functions, in addition to the basic gateway function. The target device in this embodiment may be a gateway device, or may be any smart home device that accesses the gateway device.

When the target device is a gateway device, the gateway device determines a second control instruction corresponding to a second motion track of the remote control device carried in the first control instruction according to the second motion track, and controls a function (such as a radio) integrated with the gateway device according to the second control instruction.

When the target device is an intelligent home device accessed to the gateway device, the gateway device determines a second control instruction corresponding to a second motion track according to the second motion track of the remote control device carried in the first control instruction, sends the second control instruction to an intelligent home device accessed to the local, and executes an operation corresponding to the second control instruction after the intelligent home device receives the second control instruction.

In order to facilitate understanding of the motion trajectory of the remote control device, taking the magic cube sensor as an example, in an exemplary application scenario, as shown in fig. 1B, a first motion trajectory acquired by the magic cube sensor is a plane rotation, an acquired motion trajectory is a plane movement, and a second motion trajectory generated by combining the plane movement and the plane rotation is a plane movement followed by the plane rotation.

To facilitate understanding of the method shown in fig. 1A, in an exemplary application scenario, as shown in fig. 1C, the application scenario includes: the remote control device 110 and the gateway device 120 are in communication connection through a ZigBee protocol, in this application scenario, the gateway device 120 is a target device, after obtaining a second motion trajectory of the device, the remote control device 110 generates a first control instruction in which the second motion trajectory is recorded, and sends the first control instruction to the gateway device 120, and the gateway device 120 determines a second control instruction corresponding to the second motion trajectory according to the second motion trajectory of the remote control device 110 carried in the first control instruction, and then controls the local computer to execute an operation corresponding to the second control instruction.

In another exemplary application scenario, as shown in fig. 1D, the application scenario includes: the remote control device 130 is in communication connection with the gateway device 140, the intelligent bulb 150 and the intelligent radio 160 are connected to the gateway device 140, in the application scenario, a target device can be designated, for example, the intelligent radio 160 is designated as the target device, after a second motion track of the remote control device is acquired, the remote control device 130 generates a first control instruction recorded with the second motion track, and sends the first control instruction to the gateway device 140, the gateway device 140 determines a second control instruction corresponding to the second motion track according to the second motion track of the remote control device 130 carried in the first control instruction, and sends the second control instruction to the intelligent radio 160, and after the intelligent radio 160 receives the second control instruction, the operation corresponding to the second control instruction is executed.

According to the embodiment, the user can control the intelligent household equipment by simply changing the motion track of the remote control equipment, the operation is simple, and the blind control requirement of the user is met.

In another embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the embodiment may add the following steps on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1A:

and when the time difference between the first time and the current second time is larger than the time difference threshold value, restarting to acquire the current first motion track of the remote control equipment, and combining the current first motion track with the motion track acquired by the remote control equipment to generate a second motion track.

In this embodiment, whether the motion corresponding to the currently generated motion signal and the motion corresponding to the last generated motion signal are consecutive motions may be determined according to a time difference between the first time and the current second time, and when the time difference between the first time and the current second time is greater than a time difference threshold, it is determined that the two motions are not consecutive motions, and at this time, the current first motion trajectory of the remote control device is obtained.

The present disclosure also provides a device control method applied to a gateway device, corresponding to the device control method applied to a remote control device shown in fig. 1A.

As shown in fig. 2A, fig. 2A is a flowchart illustrating another device control method according to an exemplary embodiment, and is applied to a gateway device, where the gateway device is communicatively connected to a remote control device through a ZigBee protocol, and the method may include the following steps:

in step 201, a first control instruction sent by a remote control device through a ZigBee protocol is received, where the first control instruction carries a second motion trajectory of the remote control device.

The remote control device in this embodiment may include: electronic equipment such as a magic cube sensor, a smart phone, a tablet personal computer and a mouse, which are internally provided with a three-axis acceleration sensor and a gyroscope. The gateway device in this embodiment is used to connect the smart home devices in the home environment, and the smart home devices access the network through the gateway device. The gateway device in this embodiment may be in communication connection with the remote control device through a ZigBee protocol, so as to control the smart home devices in the home environment through the gateway device.

In step 202, a second control instruction corresponding to the second motion trajectory is determined according to a preset relationship table corresponding to the target device, where the preset relationship table includes a corresponding relationship between the second motion trajectory of the remote control device and the control instruction.

The second control instruction in this embodiment is used to control the target device to execute a corresponding operation.

In this embodiment, for the same target device, different second motion trajectories correspond to different control instructions, for example, when the target device is an intelligent radio, the second motion trajectory "plane translation" corresponds to the control instruction "play/pause play", the second motion trajectory "turn over by 90 degrees" corresponds to the control instruction "switch to the next radio station", and so on; for different target devices, the same second motion trajectory corresponds to different control instructions, for example, when the target device is a smart radio, the second motion trajectory "plane translation" corresponds to a control instruction "play/pause play", and when the target device is a smart light bulb, the second motion trajectory "plane translation" corresponds to a control instruction "turn on/off light bulb".

In step 203, the control target apparatus executes an operation corresponding to the second control instruction.

In an exemplary application scenario, as shown in fig. 2B, the application scenario includes: the gateway device 220 stores a preset relationship table 240 corresponding to the target device 230, the preset relationship table 240 records a corresponding relationship between a motion track of the remote control device 210 and a control instruction for controlling the target device 230, the remote control device 210 is in communication connection with the gateway device 220 through a ZigBee protocol, and the target device 230 accesses the gateway device 220. When the user changes the motion trajectory of the remote control device 210, the remote control device 210 obtains a corresponding second motion trajectory, generates a first control instruction for recording the second motion trajectory, and sends the first control instruction to the gateway device 220, the gateway device 220 determines, according to the preset relationship table 240, a second control instruction corresponding to the second motion trajectory of the remote control device 210, and sends the second control instruction to the target device 230, and the target device 230 executes an operation corresponding to the second control instruction, for example, when the second motion trajectory of the remote control device 210 is "plane rotation", the target device 230 reduces the volume, and when the second motion trajectory of the remote control device 210 is "180 degrees of rotation", the target device 230 switches to the previous station.

As can be seen from the above embodiments, the gateway device in this embodiment may determine the control instruction for controlling the target device according to the second motion trajectory of the remote control device, and control the target device to execute the operation corresponding to the control instruction, so that the user can control the smart home device by simply changing the motion trajectory of the remote control device, the operation is simple, and the blind control requirement of the user is met.

As shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating another device control method according to an exemplary embodiment, when a gateway device accesses a plurality of smart home devices, a target device may be specified from the plurality of smart home devices, where the method may include the following steps:

in step 300, a device designation instruction for designating a device to be controlled is received, and the device designated by the device designation instruction is determined as a target device.

In this embodiment, when the gateway device is connected to multiple smart home devices, a user may designate a target device through a terminal device such as a smart phone or a tablet computer, specifically, the terminal device receives a target device designation operation of the user, generates a device designation instruction according to the target device designation operation, and sends the device designation instruction to the gateway device; the gateway device receives the device designation instruction, and determines the device designated by the device designation instruction as the target device, thereby completing the determination of the target device.

In this embodiment, the target device may also be switched through the above process, and the detailed process is not described again.
