Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

Before describing embodiments according to the present disclosure in detail, an application scenario according to embodiments of the present disclosure is introduced.

As shown in fig. 1, a scenario to which an embodiment according to the present disclosure is applied may include a smart device grouping apparatus 10 and a plurality of smart devices 13a-13 f. The smart devices 13a-13f may be devices having wired or wireless signal transceiving functions, such as smart bulbs, smart sockets, smart televisions, smart refrigerators, smart purifiers, and the like. The smart devices 13a to 13f may be connected by a wired or wireless network, for example, by bluetooth, NFC (Near Field Communication), ZigBee (ZigBee), or the like.

In an actual home scenario, some of the smart devices 13a-13f may be located in one set of premises (e.g., premises 11 shown in FIG. 1) and some may be located in another set of premises (e.g., premises 12 shown in FIG. 1). Furthermore, the plurality of smart devices located in one house may be located in different rooms, as shown in fig. 1, one part of the smart devices located in the house 11 is located in the room 11b, and the other part of the smart devices is located in the room 11 a. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the number of smart devices, houses, rooms, etc. shown in fig. 1 is merely an example, and embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

The smart device grouping apparatus 10 may be an apparatus having an arithmetic function, and may be, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a server, or the like. A user having multiple smart devices may create an account on the smart device grouping apparatus 10 to uniformly manage the multiple smart devices owned by the user, and the multiple smart devices owned by the user may be located in different houses and different rooms. The intelligent device grouping apparatus 10 and the intelligent devices 13a-13f can communicate in a wired or wireless manner.

Optionally, the application scenario shown in fig. 1 may further include a router 14 for providing a connection between the smart device and the smart device grouping apparatus 10. For example, in fig. 1, router 14 is illustratively shown providing connections to smart device grouping apparatus 10 for smart devices 13a and 13b in room 11b in house 11.

The intelligent device grouping method, apparatus, system and intelligent device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a smart device grouping method in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. The intelligent equipment grouping method can be applied to intelligent equipment grouping devices. As shown in fig. 2, the smart device grouping method may include the following steps S21 to S25.

In step S21, an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the smart device to be grouped is acquired.

The intelligent device to be grouped may be a plurality of intelligent devices bound to the same account, or may be a plurality of intelligent devices located in the same local area network. The local area network described herein may be a local area network corresponding to a home, or a local area network corresponding to an office, or a local area network corresponding to a company, or may also be a local area network corresponding to a community, and the local area network is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In step S22, all the intelligent devices to be grouped in the same geographic area are determined according to the external network IP address.

According to the internet protocol, each network location has a unique external network IP address dedicated to it, while a plurality of intelligent devices having the same external network IP address have different internal network IP addresses due to the use of different port numbers. For example, suppose that the extranet IP addresses of the intelligent devices A, B, C are all 213.25.31.1, the intranet IP addresses are 192.168.1.100, 192.168.1.101, 192.168.1.102, respectively, and the used port numbers are 565656, 565657, 565660, so the extranet IP addresses, port numbers and intranet IP addresses of the three intelligent devices have the following mapping relationships: 213.25.31.1, 565656< - - >192.168.1.100, 213.25.31.1, 565657< - - >192.168.1.101 and 213.25.31.1, 565660< - - > 192.168.1.102.

In addition, in an actual smart home scenario, the internet is usually connected in units of houses, so that a set of houses usually has a unique external network IP address, and therefore, in step S12, the smart devices to be grouped having the same external network IP address may be determined to be in the same geographic area, for example, in the same set of houses. Taking a plurality of intelligent devices to be grouped bound with the same account as an example, in an actual intelligent home scene, part of the intelligent devices to be grouped bound with the same account and having the same first external network IP address are located in the same suite, and the other part of the intelligent devices to be grouped bound with the same account and having the same second external network IP address are located in the other suite. In this way, the geographical location of the intelligent device to be grouped is roughly divided based on the IP address of the external network.

In step S23, connection identifiers of all to-be-grouped smart devices in the same geographic area are acquired.

In step S24, the scanning results of the surrounding smart devices by the respective to-be-grouped smart devices in the same geographic area are obtained.

In step S25, when the scanning result indicates that the connection identifier of the scanned smart device is the connection identifier of the smart device to be grouped in the same geographic area and the signal strength of the scanned smart device satisfies the preset signal threshold, aggregating the smart device to be grouped and the scanned smart device, which perform the scanning, in the same group.

In a possible implementation manner, there are multiple implementation manners for obtaining the connection identifiers of all the to-be-grouped smart devices in the same geographic area in the step S23. The following describes only two implementations of which are exemplary.

Fig. 3 shows a first implementation manner of obtaining connection identifiers of all to-be-grouped smart devices in the same geographic area, and as shown in fig. 3, the method may include the following steps:

in step S23a, a command for establishing a WiFi hotspot and sending a WiFi hotspot connection identifier is sent to all the to-be-grouped smart devices in the same geographic area; and

in step S23b, a WiFi hotspot connection identifier sent by the to-be-grouped smart device with the WiFi hotspot established is received. The to-be-grouped smart device may encrypt a Service Set Identifier (SSID) and Media Access Control (MAC) address information of a WiFi hotspot by using, for example, a Message Digest Algorithm fifth version (MD 5), and then send the encrypted information to the smart device grouping apparatus. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the MD5 algorithm mentioned herein is merely an example, and in fact, the smart device may be encrypted using any encryption algorithm.

Fig. 4 shows a second implementation manner of obtaining connection identifiers of all to-be-grouped smart devices in the same geographic area, and as shown in fig. 4, the second implementation manner may include the following steps:

in step S23c, a command of opening bluetooth and sending a bluetooth connection identifier is sent to all the to-be-grouped smart devices in the same geographic area; and

in step S23d, the bluetooth connection identifier sent by the smart device to be grouped, which has bluetooth turned on, is received. The smart device to be grouped may encrypt the MAC address information of the smart device by using an encryption Algorithm, for example, a Message Digest Algorithm fifth edition (MD 5), and then send the encrypted information to the smart device grouping apparatus.

In a possible embodiment, there may be multiple implementations of the above-mentioned step S24 of obtaining the scanning results of the smart devices to be grouped to the surrounding smart devices in the same geographic area, and only two implementations of the above implementations are described in the following exemplary.

Fig. 5a shows a first implementation manner of obtaining the scanning result of the smart devices to be grouped to the surrounding smart devices in the same geographic area, which may include the following steps:

in step S24a, sending connection identifiers of all the to-be-grouped intelligent devices in the same geographic area to the to-be-grouped intelligent devices in the same geographic area;

in step S24b, a scanning result sent by the to-be-grouped smart devices in the same geographic area is received, where the scanning result indicates that the scanned connection identifier of the smart device is the connection identifier of the to-be-grouped smart device in the same geographic area, and the signal strength of the scanned smart device satisfies a preset signal threshold. Because no matter the wiFi hot spot or the Bluetooth module, the signal strength can be attenuated along with the distance and the wall penetration, so that the intelligent equipment in different rooms can be divided into different groups by setting the grouping condition of the preset signal threshold, and for the intelligent equipment in the same room, the intelligent equipment closer to the distance can be divided into the same group by continuously utilizing the grouping condition of the preset signal threshold, the intelligent equipment relatively farther away from the distance can be divided into different groups, and the grouped intelligent equipment can provide a more comfortable home environment for a user.

The first implementation is described in detail below with reference to the application scenario shown in fig. 1. The premise of the first implementation is that the intelligent device grouping apparatus 10 has determined that the intelligent devices 13a to 13d are located in the house 11 and the intelligent devices 13e to 13f are located in the house 12 based on the external network IP addresses sent by the intelligent devices 13a to 13f, and has obtained the connection identifiers of the intelligent devices 13a to 13 f. Under this premise, the intelligent device grouping apparatus 10 may send only the connection identifiers of all the intelligent devices 13a to 13d in the house 11 to the respective intelligent devices 13a to 13d in the house, for example, send the connection identifiers of the intelligent devices 13a to 13d to the intelligent device 13a, send the connection identifiers of the intelligent devices 13a to 13d to the intelligent device 13b, and so on, and of course, the intelligent device grouping apparatus 10 may preferably send the connection identifiers of all the other intelligent devices located in the house 11 except the connection identifier of itself, for example, send the connection identifiers of the intelligent devices 13b to 13d to the intelligent device 13a, and so on, to each intelligent device in the house 11. Before, during or after each smart device 13a-13d in the house 11 receives the connection identification sent by the smart device grouping apparatus 10, each smart device 13a-13d in the house 11 may scan for surrounding smart devices. Then, each smart device 13a-13d in the house 11 analyzes the scanned information, i.e. analyzes whether the connection identifier of the scanned smart device is the connection identifier of the smart device located in the house 11 and the signal strength of the scanned smart device satisfies the preset signal threshold (for example, whether it is greater than-20 dbm), and if so, sends the scanning analysis result to the smart device grouping apparatus 10. Taking the scanning performed by the smart device 13a as an example, the smart device 13a may scan the surrounding smart devices 13b and 13c, and then the smart device 13a analyzes that the signal strength of the smart device 13c is smaller than the preset signal threshold and the signal strength of the smart device 13b satisfies the preset signal threshold, so that the smart device 13a sends the scanning analysis result related to the smart device 13b to the smart device grouping apparatus 10. The intelligent devices in house 12 are processed in a similar manner to the intelligent devices in house 11, and are not described again.

Fig. 5b shows a second implementation manner of obtaining the scanning result of the smart devices to be grouped to the surrounding smart devices in the same geographic area, and the implementation manner may include the following steps:

in step S24c, receiving scanning information sent by each intelligent device to be grouped in the same geographic area;

in step S24d, the scanning information is analyzed to obtain a scanning result indicating whether the connection identifier of the scanned smart device is the connection identifier of the smart device to be grouped in the same geographic area and the signal strength of the scanned smart device satisfies a preset signal threshold.

The second implementation differs from the first implementation in that in the first implementation, the analysis processing of the scan information is performed at the smart device, and in the second implementation, the analysis processing of the scan information is performed at the smart device grouping apparatus. Therefore, the second implementation is not described in detail.

After the scan analysis result is obtained in step S24, as shown in fig. 6, when the scan result indicates that the connection identifiers of the scanned smart devices are connection identifiers of smart devices to be grouped in the same geographic area and the signal strength of the scanned smart devices satisfies the preset signal threshold in step S25, aggregating the smart devices to be grouped and the scanned smart devices to perform the scan in the same group may include the following steps: in step S25a, when the scanning result indicates that the connection identifiers of the scanned smart devices are connection identifiers of smart devices to be grouped in the same geographic area and the signal strength of the scanned smart devices meets a preset signal threshold, dividing the smart devices to be grouped, which perform the scanning, and the scanned smart devices into the same group; and in step S25b, the smart devices to be grouped that perform scanning and the scanned smart devices that are divided into the same group are displayed on the same display interface.

Like this, just can realize being favorable to the intelligent device's of treating of home environment grouping for the linkage of the intelligent device after grouping can provide more comfortable home environment for the user. Moreover, the intelligent devices to be grouped and scanned, which are divided into the same group and perform scanning, are displayed on the same display interface, so that the user can operate the intelligent devices in the same group more conveniently.

Fig. 7 shows a flowchart of a smart device grouping method according to yet another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, the method includes steps S71-S77, and steps S71-S72 and steps S75-S77 are the same as steps S21-S25 shown in FIG. 2.

In step S71, the extranet IP address of the intelligent device to be grouped is acquired.

In step S72, all the intelligent devices to be grouped in the same geographic area are determined according to the external network IP address.

In step S73, the gateway addresses of all the intelligent devices to be grouped in the same geographic area are acquired.

Taking the application scenario shown in fig. 1 as an example, after it is determined in step S72 that the smart devices 13a to 13d are located in the house 11 and the smart devices 13e to 13f are located in the house 12, the gateway addresses of the smart devices 13a to 13d and the smart devices 13e to 13f are continuously obtained.

In step S74, based on the gateway address, all the intelligent devices to be grouped determined to be in the same geographic area according to the external network IP address, that is, the same geographic area determined in step S72, are subdivided.

Because the gateway addresses of the intelligent devices connected with the internet through the same gateway are the same, the geographic positions of the intelligent devices are relatively close, the gateway addresses of the intelligent devices connected with the internet through different gateways are different, and in an actual intelligent home environment, the intelligent devices in different rooms can be connected with the internet through different gateways, so that the geographic areas obtained by dividing the internet IP addresses can be further subdivided based on the gateway addresses. Taking the case that the gateway is arranged on the router as an example, the gateway address is the MAC address of the router and has uniqueness, so that in the case that the to-be-grouped intelligent devices are networked through the router, the geographical area obtained by dividing the to-be-grouped intelligent devices by using the IP address of the external network can be further subdivided based on the MAC address of the router.

The application scenario shown in fig. 1 is still taken as an example. Assuming that the smart devices 13a and 13b are connected to the internet by using the first router and the

smart devices

13c and 13d are connected to the internet by using the second router, since the MAC addresses of the first router and the second router are different, it can be determined that the smart devices 13a and 13b are located in the room 11b and the

smart devices

13c and 13d are located in the room 11a by the gateway address, that is, the MAC address of the router, and the same geographical area, that is, the house, determined by using the IP address of the external network is further subdivided into the rooms. Thus, when it is determined that the same geographical area is a room, the same geographical area mentioned in the subsequent steps S75-S77 is also changed from a house to a room.

In step S75, connection identifiers of all to-be-grouped smart devices in the same geographic area are acquired.

In step S76, the scanning results of the surrounding smart devices by the respective to-be-grouped smart devices in the same geographic area are obtained.

In step S77, when the scanning result indicates that the connection identifier of the scanned smart device is the connection identifier of the smart device to be grouped in the same geographic area and the signal strength of the scanned smart device satisfies the preset signal threshold, aggregating the smart device to be grouped and the scanned smart device, which perform the scanning, in the same group.

Through the steps S71-S77, the smart devices to be grouped in the same geographic area (e.g., the same house) can be determined through the IP address of the external network, then the same geographic area is subdivided into rooms from the house through the gateway address, and then the previous determination result is corrected through the connection identifier and the scanning result of the smart devices to be grouped, so that it is not required to rely on a third-party device as in the technical scheme in the related art, and manual intervention is not required, and the grouping of the smart devices to be grouped, which is beneficial to the home environment, can be completed only by relying on the existing devices of the user, so that the linkage of the grouped smart devices can provide a more comfortable home environment for the user.
