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.

The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and the like in the description and in the claims, as well as in the drawings, if any, are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the invention described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein.

The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with specific examples. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the present disclosure provides a control system, which may include a wireless switch 1, an intelligent controller 2, a terminal 5 and a gateway 3.

The wireless switch 1 may be any switch capable of communicating with the outside based on wireless communication, where the wireless communication may be any mode such as radio frequency, bluetooth, Wifi, and the like, and in the following description, the description is mainly based on a bluetooth mode.

The intelligent controller 2 may be any device or combination of devices that can be controlled to implement on-off control, and is provided with a circuit with data processing capability, such as a processing module (e.g., the processing module 205), and a circuit with wireless communication capability, such as a wireless communication module (e.g., the wireless communication module 202), wherein in one example, the intelligent controller may be a wall switch, and in other examples, the intelligent controller may also be a fan, a lamp, a socket, a garbage disposal device, or a device connected thereto. The external communication mode of the intelligent controller 2 may include at least one of the following: radio frequency, bluetooth, Wifi, mobile network, etc.; in the following description, description is mainly made based on the bluetooth mode.

The terminal 5 may be any device or combination of devices having data processing capability and external communication capability, for example, a mobile phone, a computer, a tablet computer, a vehicle machine, and the like.

The gateway 3 may be a gateway of any network, and the network may be any one of a Wifi network, a Zigbee network, and a bluetooth network, for example; in the following description, description is mainly made based on the bluetooth mode. In a further embodiment, the gateway 3 may access the internet, so as to exchange data with other devices (e.g. the terminal 5 and the speaker device 4) accessing the internet. The gateway 3 may be a gateway device dedicated to the gateway 3, or may be another device having a gateway function (for example, a speaker device having a gateway function, a display device having a gateway function, a computer having a gateway function, a host computer, or the like).

The control system may further comprise a speaker device 4, which may be understood as any device having a sound playing capability, and which may further have the capability of external wired or wireless communication. In some embodiments, the speaker device 4 may be an intelligent voice speaker, and further, may have a voice recognition capability, a protocol conversion capability, and the like. In some embodiments, the sound box apparatus 4 may implement external communication by joining a network of the gateway, in some embodiments, the sound box apparatus 4 may also implement external communication by joining a network of the terminal (for example, a Wifi hotspot of the terminal or a network connected to the Wifi hotspot), and in some embodiments, the sound box apparatus 4 may also implement external communication in other manners (for example, joining other Wifi networks).

If the speaker device 4 is a speaker device having a gateway function, then: the speaker device 4 may be used as a gateway, and further, the control system may include the speaker device 4 (which is also a gateway) having a gateway function without configuring the speaker device 4 and the gateway at the same time.

It can be seen that the gateway 3 may be a gateway that is independent from the speaker device 4, or the speaker device may be used as the gateway.

Loudspeaker box device 4 still can have bluetooth communication ability, and then, when not joining in marriage the net, loudspeaker box device 4 can be based on bluetooth and communication such as terminal, gateway, for example when joining in marriage the net, can send the audio amplifier and join in marriage net message based on the bluetooth, and terminal or gateway can join in marriage net based on audio amplifier and join in marriage net message realization, and then join in bluetooth network or Wifi network.

In some examples, the server may mainly perform a data forwarding function, and in some examples, the server may also perform a data storage and processing function.

In one embodiment, if the gateway 3 is a bluetooth gateway and the corresponding network is a bluetooth network (e.g., a bluetooth Mesh network), the wireless switch 1 may join the bluetooth network after the network is distributed, and communicate with the gateway 3 (or the speaker device 4 with the gateway function) through a bluetooth signal.

In addition, the intelligent controller 2 may also join the bluetooth network after the network is distributed, and communicate with the gateway 3 (or the speaker device 4 with the gateway function) through bluetooth signals. Further, data exchange between the wireless switch 1 and the terminal 5 and data exchange between the smart controller 2 and the terminal 5 can be performed by forwarding (or other processing such as authentication and conversion may be performed when forwarding) by the gateway 3 (or the speaker device 4 having a gateway function).

In one embodiment, if the speaker device 4 is not the gateway 3: the loudspeaker box device 4 can also be added into the network of the gateway 3 after the network is distributed.

In one embodiment, the speaker device 4 can be added to the Wifi network of the terminal (for example, the Wifi hotspot network or the Wifi network connected thereto) after the network is distributed, and then, access the internet based on Wifi, so as to communicate with the gateway, the terminal, and the like.

The wireless switch 1 in some aspects of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below, but the scope of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 4 to 7, the wireless switch 1 may include: the system comprises a core processing module 103, a power supply module 104, at least one operating element 101 and at least one operation sensing unit 102.

The power supply module 104 is electrically connected to the core processing module 103 to supply power to the core processing module 103; the power supply module 104 may supply one voltage or a plurality of voltages.

In one embodiment, the power supply module 104 includes: a power supply unit 1041 and an energy buffer unit 1042.

The power supply unit 1041 may be understood as any circuit capable of providing power, for example, the power supply unit 1041 includes at least one of the following: a kinetic energy generator, a solar panel and a battery; taking fig. 6 as an example, the power supply unit 1041 may include a battery BAT; the battery may be a rechargeable battery or a non-rechargeable battery, for example, a button battery. In addition, other devices or combinations of devices with voltage stabilizing, filtering, rectifying, and other functions may be disposed in the power supply unit 1041.

The energy buffer unit 1042 can be understood as a circuit capable of buffering the electric energy provided by the power supply unit 1041; for further example, taking fig. 6 as an example, the energy buffer unit 1042 may include capacitors C, where the number of the capacitors C is one or multiple as shown in the figure, and different capacitors C may output the same voltage, may output different voltages, may output different nodes of the core processing module, and may also output the same voltage to the same node; in addition, other devices or combinations of devices with voltage stabilizing, filtering, rectifying, and other functions may be disposed in the power supply unit 1041.

When the power supply unit 1041 uses the battery BAT, the electrical parameters (such as voltage, current, power, and the like) output by the battery BAT may not accurately and stably meet the power consumption requirement of the core processing module 103, and then, one or more capacitors C are needed to perform electric energy caching, so that the power supply output to the core processing module 103 can accurately and stably meet the requirement of the core processing module 103.

The core processing module 103 can be understood as a circuit module having data processing capability and communication capability, and on the basis of this, the core processing module 103 can be attached with other circuits or circuit combinations with arbitrary functions. In a further embodiment, the core processing module 103 may also have other detecting and converting functions.

In one embodiment, the core processing module 103 includes: a processing unit 1031, a wireless communication unit 1032, the processing unit 1031 being electrically connected to the wireless communication unit 1032; the processing unit 1031 is also electrically connected to the operation sensing unit 102 and the power supply module 104 (e.g., an energy buffer unit thereof).

Among them, the processing unit 1031 may communicate with outside via the wireless communication unit 1032 by wireless communication (for example, with a gateway, a speaker device having a gateway function, an intelligent controller, etc. via the wireless communication unit). The processing unit 1031 and the wireless communication unit 1032 may be integrated together or may be separate. The wireless communication unit 1032 may be any one of a bluetooth unit, a radio frequency unit, a Wifi unit, and a Zigbee unit, and the wireless communication unit 1032 may be electrically connected to the corresponding antenna 105.

For further example, the core processing module 103 may further include a voltage acquisition unit 1033, where the voltage acquisition unit 1033 is electrically connected to the processing unit 1031, and may also be electrically connected to the power supply module 104, for example, electrically connected to the power supply unit 1041 and/or the energy buffer unit 1042. The voltage acquisition unit 1033 may acquire voltage information of the power supply module 104, for example, voltage information of the power supply unit 1041 and/or the energy buffer unit 1042 therein, where the voltage information of the power supply unit 1041 may be, for example, voltage information of the battery BAT, and the voltage information of the energy buffer unit 1042 may be, for example, voltage information of the capacitor C. The voltage collecting unit 1033 may convert the collected analog voltage information into digital voltage information by analog-to-digital conversion and feed back the digital voltage information to the processing unit 1031, or sample the voltage information through a voltage dividing resistor to obtain a sampled voltage, and then transmit the sampled voltage to the processing unit 1031. No matter what voltage acquisition mode is adopted, the range of the examples is not deviated.

The operating element 101 can be understood as a push button of a wireless switch, and can also be understood as a combination of parts which can move together, such as a push button of a wireless switch, a transmission part and the like. The operating piece 101 can respond to the operation to touch the corresponding operation sensing unit 102; the actuation may be direct actuation or indirect actuation (e.g., via other transmission members).

The operation sensing unit 102 is electrically connected to the core processing module to transmit a trigger signal to the core processing module 103 when being triggered. For further example, referring to fig. 6, the operation sensing unit 102 may include a switch device (e.g., a micro switch), and further, in an example, when the switch device is triggered to be turned on, at this time, the corresponding port of the core processing module 103 (e.g., the processing unit 1031 thereof) may be pulled to the ground, so that it learns that the operating element 101 is pressed down, and when the switch device is not triggered or after the triggering is stopped, the switch device is triggered to be turned off, at this time, the corresponding port of the core processing module 103 (e.g., the processing unit 1031 thereof) may be stopped being pulled to the ground, so that it learns that the operating element 101 is released; in other examples, the switching device may be turned off when activated, turned on when not activated or when deactivated, and may be pulled down to ground as shown, or may be pulled up to a specified potential.

Further, when the operating element 101 is depressed, if it is released (even after the force applied by the depression is removed), the operating element 101 may be reset by the operation of the sensing unit 102 (e.g., a microswitch) and/or other components for transmission and reset, and return to the non-depressed position.

The core processing module 103 is configured to:

and responding to at least one trigger signal brought by the control operation of the operation piece to generate a control message and send the control message to the outside.

By sending out the control message, the following steps can be carried out: the control result pointed by the control application message can be executed by the corresponding controlled equipment. The controlled device may be a directly controlled intelligent controller, or a device added to the gateway network (for example, the intelligent controller and the speaker device, but not limited thereto), or another device capable of interacting with the gateway and the terminal (for example, the speaker device added to the Wifi hotspot of the terminal, but not limited thereto), or a device connected to the intelligent controller.

In addition, after the wireless switch is paired with the intelligent controller, the wireless switch can directly send the control application message to the intelligent controller, so that the intelligent controller or the equipment connected with the intelligent controller executes a corresponding control result; after the wireless switch and the gateway are in a network distribution, the wireless switch can send the control message to the gateway, the gateway sends control information to the intelligent controller or other equipment based on the control message, and the control information can also be forwarded to the terminal or the server, and then the terminal or the server can control other equipment to execute a corresponding control result based on the control information.

The wireless switch 1 may have a distribution network mode and a distributed network mode, and when the wireless switch is in the distributed network mode, the above processes of generating and sending the control message may be performed. And when in a distribution network mode, the distribution network of the wireless switch 1 and the gateway 3 can be completed. In addition, when the intelligent controller is in the distributed network mode, the pairing of the wireless switch 1 and the intelligent controller 2 can be completed.

Further, wireless switch 1 still can be in not joining in marriage net mode after leaving the factory or being reset, at this moment, can join in marriage net operation trigger based on the switch and join in marriage the net, and then:

before the above process of generating and sending the enforcement control packet, the core processing module 103 may be further configured to:

when the wireless switch is not in a distribution network mode (for example, in a distribution network non-distribution network mode), the wireless switch is determined to enter the distribution network mode in response to at least one trigger signal caused by the operation of the distribution network of the switch of the operation member;

when the network is in the distribution network mode, generating and sending out a switching distribution network message to the outside so as to enable: after the appointed equipment acquires the switch distribution network message, the wireless switch is indicated to be added into a network corresponding to the gateway so as to complete distribution network; the specified device comprises a terminal and/or the gateway; the wireless switch after the distribution of the network can communicate with the gateway through the network;

after the distribution network is finished, responding to at least one trigger signal brought by the control operation of the operation part, generating and sending out a control message to the outside so as to: and the control result pointed by the control applying message can be executed by the corresponding controlled equipment.

It can be seen that:

the distributed network mode can be understood as a mode that the wireless switch 1 can perform normal data transmission with the gateway after the wireless switch successfully distributes the network and joins the network of the gateway;

the distribution network mode can be understood as a mode for realizing distribution network between the wireless switch 1 and the gateway 3;

the mode without the network distribution can be understood as a mode that the network distribution of the wireless switch 1 and the gateway 3 is not realized, and further, the wireless switch does not join the network of the gateway.

The mode of the wireless switch may not be limited to the above example, and meanwhile, the wireless switch may or may not mark the current mode through a corresponding identifier, and whether the mode is marked or not, it may be understood that the wireless switch implements the change of the mode as long as different processes are implemented based on the above mode.

The control applying operation and the switch distribution network operation may be the same operation or different operations, the sent control applying message may also include one control applying message or a plurality of the same or different control applying messages, and the sent switch distribution network message may include one switch distribution network message or a plurality of the same or different switch distribution network messages.

The control message may include: wireless switch information responsive to the wireless switch to which the control operation is applied; the wireless switching information may characterize at least one of: the corresponding wireless switch, the operation piece responding to the operation in the wireless switch, and the action of the operation piece. The actions characterized in the wireless switch information may, for example, comprise at least one of: single click, multiple click, long press of the operating member.

After the wireless switch sends out the switching distribution network message and the control application message, the gateway 3 can also directly or after verification forward the messages to corresponding equipment (such as a terminal, a server and the like).

Further, in one arrangement, the terminal 5 may be configured to:

after the switching distribution network message (for example, the switching distribution network forwarded from the gateway 3) is acquired, the wireless switch (i.e., the wireless switch which sends the switching distribution network message) is listed as a controllable switch;

the terminal 5 or the gateway 3 is further configured to: and after the switch distribution network message is acquired, indicating the wireless switch 1 to join a network (such as a Bluetooth network) corresponding to the gateway 3.

When the terminal 5 ranks the wireless switch as the executable and controllable switch, it may be specifically configured to:

displaying the wireless switch through an interface (for example, a scanning result display interface capable of displaying the scanned equipment or the wireless switch);

in response to a switch addition operation (for example, a touch operation on a scanning result display interface or an operation on other operable components of the terminal 5) for the wireless switch, binding the wireless switch (i.e., the wireless switch which sends out a switch distribution network message) with a specified account, so that the wireless switch serves as the controllable switch;

in the case where it is already an actuatable switch, the terminal may display the wireless switch as the actuatable switch at one interface (e.g., at least one of a wireless switch display interface, an actuated switch display interface, a device display interface).

The interfaces mentioned above may be the same interface or different interfaces.

In addition, after the distribution network is completed (for example, in the distributed network mode), the wireless switch is further configured (i.e., the core processing module therein is further configured to): reporting a wireless switch pressing event to the gateway when the operating element presses;

the gateway is further configured to: feeding back the wireless switch pressing event to the terminal;

the terminal is further configured to: externally prompting the wireless switch to press down an event, and/or: and updating the historical operation record of the wireless switch according to the pressing event of the wireless switch.

Specifically, a program (APP) may be run in the terminal (e.g., a mobile phone), a list of the wireless switch may be listed in the APP, and when the wireless switch is pressed (i.e., when a wireless switch pressing event occurs), the APP displays an event that the wireless switch is pressed (i.e., a wireless switch pressing event) or a historical operation record. The APP may also send a notification to alert the user, and/or: the user is reminded along with vibration, ring tone and the like.

The terminal indicates the wireless switch to join the network of the gateway, for example, the terminal forwards or drives the gateway to send the switch distribution network feedback information to the wireless switch, and the gateway indicates the wireless switch to join the network, for example, the terminal actively sends the switch distribution network feedback information to the wireless switch in response to the switch distribution network message, or sends the switch distribution network feedback information to the wireless switch under the drive of the terminal.

Furthermore, before the core processing module 103 sends a switch distribution network message to the outside to determine that the wireless switch enters the distributed network mode, the core processing module is further configured to:

the method includes the steps of obtaining switching distribution network feedback information sent by a gateway or a terminal, where the switching distribution network feedback information includes security information, but may not be limited to the security information, and may also include, for example, an identifier and an address of the gateway, device information of the gateway, and the like.

In the case that the security information has been acquired, before the core processing module 103 externally sends out the enforcement control packet, the core processing module is further configured to:

based on the security information, encrypting the enforcement control message so as to: after receiving the control message, the gateway or the terminal can decrypt and verify the control message, and drive the corresponding control result to be executed after the decryption and verification are passed.

The security information may include an encryption key, the wireless switch may encrypt the message using the encryption key, the gateway or the terminal may decrypt the message based on the decryption key, and if the decryption is successful, the verification may be successful.

Therefore, in the distribution network mode, after the message sent by the wireless switch is scanned by the terminal or the gateway, the switch distribution network feedback information sent by the terminal or the gateway is received, and the security information such as the secret key is obtained and stored. And then, when the control applying message is sent in the distribution network mode, the secret key can be used for encryption, so that the gateway or the terminal equipment can normally decrypt and verify the message sent by the wireless switch.

In addition, the gateway may or may not be decrypted when forwarding to the server or the terminal.

In one embodiment, when the core processing module sends a switching distribution network message to the outside, the core processing module is specifically configured to: and sending the switching distribution network message once every specified distribution network interval duration.

The interval duration of the distribution network can be configured at will according to the requirements, and the interval duration can be configured according to the requirements of energy consumption and the requirements of message processing. By the method, effective sending and energy consumption of the switch distribution network message can be considered.

In one embodiment, the core processing module is further configured to:

and when the network is in the distributed network mode, sending a heartbeat message once at a specified heartbeat interval duration.

The heartbeat message can be sent to the gateway and can also be forwarded to the terminal through the gateway, so that: after the terminal 5 and the gateway 3 acquire the heartbeat message, it can be determined that the wireless switch is currently on line according to the heartbeat message.

On this basis, the terminal 5 may be configured to: and when the wireless switch is determined to be on line currently, displaying the controllable switch as on line in the corresponding interface.

In a further scheme, the heartbeat message records electric quantity information (or may be understood as remaining electric quantity information) of the power supply unit 1041, the electric quantity information may be represented as voltage information, and further, the electric quantity information may be acquired by the voltage acquisition unit 1033 in the core processing module 103.

Correspondingly, the terminal 5 may be configured to: and displaying the electric quantity information to the outside. Wherein, the power information can be displayed in a corresponding interface of the app.

Each message sent by the wireless switch is sent at least once through a plurality of different frequency points (that is, the message is sent through a plurality of frequency points respectively, and each frequency point is sent at least once), and further, it can be effectively ensured that the message can be acquired by corresponding devices (such as a gateway, an intelligent controller, and the like), in an example, the plurality of frequency points may be, for example, three frequency points, and especially when the wireless communication unit is a bluetooth unit, the three frequency points may be: 2.402GHz, 2.428GHz and 2.480 GHz.

The data rate of the message sent by the wireless switch is more than 500 Kbps.

In one embodiment, the core processing module 103 is further configured to:

before any message is generated and sent, the wireless switch is controlled to exit from a low power consumption state; for example: when the wireless switch is in the distribution network mode and/or the distributed network mode, controlling the wireless switch to exit from a low power consumption state before generating and sending any message;

after any message is generated and sent, the wireless switch is controlled to enter the low power consumption state, for example: when the wireless switch is in the distribution network mode and/or the distributed network mode, after any message is generated and sent, the wireless switch is controlled to enter the low power consumption state;

wherein the low power consumption state is understood to be: the power consumption of the wireless switch in the low power consumption state is lower than that of the wireless switch when the message is generated and sent.

In an example, in the low power consumption state, the supply current output by the power supply module 104 to the core processing module 103 is less than 200 microamperes; further, it may be less than 50 microamps, i.e.: the standby current in the low power consumption state is less than 50 microamperes.

When a message is sent, the power supply current output by the power supply module 104 to the core processing module 103 is within an interval range of 5 milliamperes to 100 milliamperes.

Therefore, except the time for generating and sending the message, the wireless switch is in a low power consumption state in other time (other part or all time), and further, the wireless switch can effectively save electric energy and guarantee the endurance of the wireless switch, and especially when the wireless switch uses a battery as a power supply unit, the electric quantity of the battery can be effectively saved.

The traditional wireless switch adopts a switch to directly switch on or off a power supply, cold starting is carried out when the switch is pressed every time, the starting time is long, the delay is large, and the starting time consumes large electric energy. The switch adopts low-power-consumption dormancy, the processing unit is triggered to wake up the wireless switch to send when the switch is operated, and a data rate larger than 500KBPS is used for sending wireless signals, so that the sending time is short, and the energy consumption is low.

Meanwhile, the data packets of the messages are simultaneously transmitted in the 3 frequency points, so that the possible radio interference can be avoided, the possibility of collision with other wireless equipment is reduced by matching with the ultra-short transmission time, and the reliability of communication is improved.

In addition, the configuration of the power consumption and the frequency point can be met no matter aiming at a control application message, a switching distribution network message, a heartbeat message or a pairing message with the intelligent controller.

In one embodiment, the wireless switch 1 further includes a light emitting module 106;

when the voltage information of the power supply module is higher than the electric energy threshold value, controlling the light-emitting module to output a first optical signal outwards;

when the voltage information is lower than the electric energy threshold value, controlling the light-emitting module to output a second optical signal outwards;

the voltage information is voltage information of the power supply unit 1041 or the energy buffer unit 1042 in the power supply module 104, and specifically may be voltage information of a battery BAT and a capacitor C therein. Whether the voltage is lower can be found in time by comparing the voltage information with the electric energy threshold, and then, the external prompt can be given only by the light-emitting module 106 when the voltage information of the power supply unit 1041 is lower, or the external prompt can be given only by the light-emitting module 106 when the voltage information of the energy cache unit 1042 is lower, or the external prompt can be given by the light-emitting module 106 when any one of the power supply unit 1041 and the energy cache unit 1042 is lower in electric quantity, or the external prompt can be given by the light-emitting module 106 when the electric quantities of both the power supply unit 1041 and the energy cache unit 1042 are lower. In addition, the power threshold corresponding to the power supply unit 1041 may be the same as or different from the power threshold corresponding to the energy buffer unit 1042.

In one embodiment, the first optical signal and the second optical signal have different colors, and the light emitting module 106 includes a first light emitting portion for emitting the first optical signal and a second light emitting portion for emitting the second optical signal. The first light-emitting portion and the second light-emitting portion may be indicator lights (also understood as light-emitting diodes, LEDs) of different colors, for example.

In a further example, the color of the first optical signal is any one of blue, green and white; the light emitting duration of the first optical signal is between 1 millisecond and 1 second;

the color of the second light signal is any one of orange, red and yellow; the light emitting time of the second light signal is between 1 millisecond and 1 second.

Further, if the power threshold region is 2 volts, then:

when the voltage is more than 2V, the wireless switch lights a blue or green or white indicator light for 1ms to 1S.

When the voltage is less than 2V, the wireless switch lights an orange or red or yellow indicator light for 1ms to 1S.

In addition, one operation sensing unit 102 may further correspond to one or more indicator lights in the light emitting module 106, and further, when the corresponding operation sensing unit 102 is triggered, the core processing module 103 may further trigger the corresponding indicator light to emit light, so as to externally feed back the currently triggered operation sensing unit.

The first optical signal and the second optical signal may be specifically emitted when the currently touched operation sensing unit is externally fed back, that is: when the currently touched operation sensing unit needs to be indicated externally by using the optical signal, the following steps can be implemented: when the voltage information is higher than the electric energy threshold value, controlling the light-emitting module to output a first optical signal outwards; and when the voltage information is lower than the electric energy threshold value, controlling the light-emitting module to externally output a second optical signal.

In one embodiment, the controlling operation includes: at least one press and at least one release; namely at least one depression and at least one release for the operating member; the push finger operation piece pushes down and touches the corresponding operation sensing unit, and the release finger operation piece releases so as not to touch the operation sensing unit.

The control messages generated by the control operations of different actions are different;

wherein, in the control operation of different actions, at least one of the following is distinguished:

the number of pressing and releasing times;

the length of the press.

Specific examples are:

if the complete action of the control operation is taken as a first action, the corresponding generated control message comprises a first control message; the first action is that the operating piece is pressed down and released within a first specified time length; in one example, the first action may be, for example: the user presses down and releases within 1 second;

if the complete action of the control operation is taken as a second action, the corresponding generated control message comprises a second control message; the second action is that the operating piece is continuously pressed for a plurality of times within a second designated time length; in one example, the second action may be, for example: press 2 consecutive times in 2 seconds;

if the complete action of the control operation is taken as a third action, the corresponding generated control message comprises a third control message; the third action is that the operating piece is pressed down for at least a third specified time; in one example, the third action may be, for example: the user presses and continues not to be below 3S.

The complete action refers to an action with at least one press and at least one release, and the times of press and release are the same. Furthermore, the corresponding generated control message may include: and generating a complete action control message in response to the complete action of the control operation.

The complete action control message may be any one of the first, second, and third control messages, or may not be limited thereto. Meanwhile, the first, second and third enforcement control messages may be different messages, for example: the actions represented by the wireless switch information described therein are different.

In some embodiments, the control message may include:

a post-press control message generated in response to a press in the control operation; the message is generated and sent in response to the pressing, and may not be a complete action of pressing and releasing;

the control message is applied after the press so that: and responding to the pairing execution control message by the intelligent controller paired with the wireless switch, and executing a corresponding control result.

In one example, the control message after pressing can be sent when the user presses, and when the user releases or presses for more than 3 seconds, the control message is completely acted; the control messages may be, for example, a first control message, a second control message, and a third control message, but is not limited thereto.

The full-action control message is usually sent to the gateway, and the gateway may send corresponding control information based on the full-action control message (for example, send the control information to the intelligent controller), and may also forward the control information to the terminal, the server, the speaker device, or another device. The application control message is usually sent directly to the intelligent controller after being pressed.

In a further example, the control message after pressing is different from the complete action control message.

It can be seen that the post-press application control message does not communicate with the gateway or terminal, but only with the intelligent controller (e.g., wall switch). The complete action control message is communicated with a gateway or a terminal. Based on this, it is possible to realize: the wireless switch and the intelligent controller can also perform basic pairing and control function actions under the condition that no gateway or terminal is provided. And under the condition that the gateway exists, the message is controlled by using the complete action, rich control data can be sent to the gateway, and when the message is further forwarded to the server, more rich control action can be carried out. And both are seamlessly switched.

Through the design, signals can be sent respectively when the intelligent control device is pressed down and released, actions such as double-click and long-press can be identified, the information is sent to the intelligent controller (such as a wall switch) and the gateway, rich control actions can be carried out, and rich control effects are achieved. The life experience of the masses of people is improved.

Further, if the power supply unit 1041 adopts a battery, then:

the circuit board 107 may further have a battery receiving portion 1072 for receiving the battery in the power supply module 104, and the middle case 109 has a battery hole 1091 for passing the battery and the battery receiving portion. Through the above battery accommodating part 1072 and the battery hole 1091, fixation of the battery and saving of space can be realized.

In one example, the circuit board 107 may also be provided with positioning holes 1071 to enable positioning thereof relative to the bottom housing and/or the middle housing.

In one example, the bottom housing 108 is further provided with a latch 1081 for latching the middle housing 109.

In an example, the operating device 101 may further include a light-transmitting portion 1011 for allowing the light emitting module 106 to emit light, and a light-guiding pillar 110 may be disposed between the light-transmitting portion 1011 and the light emitting module 106.

In one scheme, the call may be implemented based on a control message, so that the sound box apparatus 4 can play specified voice information, and the control message may also be understood as a control message for the call.

Furthermore, in a kind of enforcement control message (i.e. enforcement control message for call) sent by the core processing module, it may be: the sound box device can play specified voice information, namely:

It can be seen that the terminal 5 is operable to: a mapping relationship is defined.

The mapping relationship can be understood as the mapping relationship between the wireless switch information and the voice information, and further, since the voice information is played by the sound box device, the mapping relationship can further be that: and mapping relation among wireless switch information, voice information and the sound box device. Further, a single wireless switch message may map one or more voice messages; if the voice messages are multiple voice messages, the voice messages may be multiple voice messages that need to be played by one sound box device, or voice messages that need to be played by multiple sound box devices. A single voice message may be mapped to multiple wireless switch messages, and whatever mapping is done, may be regarded as a mapping relationship here.

comparing whether the wireless switch information in the pairing message is matched with the wireless switch information in the pairing execution control message;

and if the signals are matched, outputting corresponding driving signals to the driving module.

In a further scheme, the indication module 208 may be a light-emitting indication module, and when the processing module 205 controls the indication module 208 to externally feed back the distribution network indication signal, the processing module is specifically configured to (that is, the intelligent controller 2 is configured to):

controlling the light emitting indication module to emit light to the outside with specified parameters, wherein the specified parameters comprise at least one of the following parameters: a specified color, a specified flicker frequency, a specified light emission time period. Wherein, the light-emitting indication module can comprise a plurality of groups of indicator lamps.

Furthermore, to form different light emitting colors, different color light emitting indication units (e.g., indicator lamps) may be used.

In a specific example, the pairing operation of the key may be, for example, pressing the key of the intelligent controller (e.g., a wall switch) for more than 3 seconds, and the processing module 205 may control the light-emitting indication module (e.g., an indicator lamp) to flash to indicate that it enters the pairing mode. For example: the flicker frequency may be 0.5-2 HZ.

Then, the user may operate the wireless switch that wants to pair with the intelligent controller (e.g., the wall switch), and then the wireless switch may send a pairing message (e.g., send the pairing message through a bluetooth signal), and the intelligent controller (e.g., the wall switch) may stop flashing after receiving the pairing of the wireless switch, indicating that the pairing is successful. In pairing, after the intelligent controller (e.g., the wall switch) receives the pairing message of the wireless switch, the processing module 205 of the intelligent controller (e.g., the wall switch) stores at least part of the wireless switch information of the wireless switch, for example, in the memory, where the stored information includes information such as an ID representing the wireless switch, a key value representing the operation element and/or its action, and the like.

After pairing, the wireless switch is operated and the output of the corresponding intelligent controller (e.g., a wall switch) will be correspondingly turned on or off. After the intelligent controller (such as a wall switch) receives a control message (namely a paired switch control message) of the wireless switch, the intelligent controller (such as the wall switch) intercepts information (namely at least part of wireless switch information) such as an ID (identity) representing the wireless switch, a key value representing an operating part and/or actions of the operating part, and the like, compares the information with the ID and the key value stored in the memory, and controls the output to be turned on or turned off if the information is matched with the ID and the key value; if the two are not consistent, no action is taken.

In one embodiment, the processing module 205 is further configured to: and clearing all paired wireless switches of the intelligent controller in response to at least one trigger signal brought by the clearing operation of the key. Namely: the intelligent controller may clear all paired wireless switches of the intelligent controller in response to a clear operation, which may, for example, delete stored wireless switch information.

In a further aspect, the pairing operation may be: pressing a corresponding key and maintaining a preset first threshold duration; the clear operation is: pressing the corresponding key and maintaining the preset second threshold duration; wherein the second threshold duration is longer than the second threshold duration.

In a specific example, when a key of the intelligent controller (e.g., a wall switch) is pressed for a long time and is not held for more than 3 seconds (i.e., the first threshold duration is 3 seconds), an indicator light of the intelligent controller (e.g., the wall switch) flashes to indicate that the intelligent controller enters the pairing mode. Then, the long pressing of the key is continued for at least more than 6 seconds (i.e. the duration of the second threshold is 6 seconds), and the indicator light of the intelligent controller (e.g. the wall switch) may flash 2 times to indicate that the pairing has been deleted, at this time, in step 3, the method further includes: information such as ID, key value, etc. of the wireless switch stored in the memory can be deleted. The paired wireless switch is then operated and the wall switch does not respond.

In addition, in the above scheme, the process of controlling the light-emitting indication module (for example, the indicator light) to flash may be replaced by: the intelligent controller controls the lamp connected with the intelligent controller to flicker through the output on-off module, and further, the process of controlling the flicker of the light-emitting indication module can be applied to controlling the lamp to flicker through the output on-off module.

In addition to indicating the mode, the indication module (e.g., a light-emitting indication module) may also characterize the pressing of the key, where each light-emitting indication unit corresponds to one key;

the processing module 205 is further configured to:

responding to at least one touch signal brought by the on-off control operation of the key, and outputting a corresponding driving signal to the driving module;

and controlling the light-emitting indication unit corresponding to the key with the on-off control operation to emit light in response to at least one touch signal brought by the on-off control operation.

Namely: the intelligent controller 2 is also used for: and the on-off state of the connected circuit is changed in response to the on-off control operation of the key, and the light-emitting indication unit corresponding to the key which is subjected to the on-off control operation is controlled to emit light in response to the on-off control operation of the key.

In each of the above schemes, "outputting the corresponding driving signal to the driving module" may be a signal that causes the driving module to control the output of the on-off module to be turned on, may also be a signal that causes the driving module to control the output of the on-off module to be turned off, and may also be a signal that causes the driving module to control the output module to be turned over.

In one embodiment, the intelligent controller 2 may further include a backlight module, which may be an indication module (for example, the indication module and the backlight module are the same module), or another module independent of the indication module, and the backlight module is electrically connected to the processing module 205;

the processing module 205 is further configured to:

acquiring backlight setting information sent by a terminal through the wireless communication module;

wherein the backlight setting information is used to indicate: whether the backlight module emits light when the output on-off module is turned off, and/or: backlight parameters when the backlight module emits light, the backlight parameters including at least one of: the luminous brightness, the luminous color and the luminous duration;

and when the output on-off module is switched off, the backlight module is set according to the backlight setting information. Namely: the intelligent controller 2 is also used for: and when the output on-off module is switched off, the backlight module is set according to backlight setting information sent by the terminal.

The backlight setting information can be sent to the gateway by the terminal and then forwarded to the intelligent controller.

In a specific example, after opening the APP of the terminal, the user may click a backlight setting button in an interface to enter a corresponding setting interface, and at this time, the backlight may be switched from off to on, or the backlight brightness may be adjusted. Further, when the intelligent controller 2 (e.g., a wall switch) is in an off state (i.e., when the output on-off module is turned off), the backlight is turned off (i.e., the backlight module section is controlled to emit light), or the backlight brightness is adjusted to a specified value (i.e., the backlight value pointed by the backlight module brightness and/or color modulation backlight setting information).

Further, in receiving the backlight setting information, it may be stored in the memory of the smart controller 2. When the intelligent controller 2 (e.g., a wall switch) is switched from an on state to an off state (i.e., the output on-off module is turned off), or when the power is turned on again, the stored backlight setting information is checked, and the backlight module is set to the brightness and/or color of the backlight setting information. Wherein the backlight value is a value between 0 and 255. In a specific example, where 0 may be utilized to represent that the backlight is completely off (i.e., no backlight).

Through the function of setting the backlight, a user can flexibly set whether the backlight of the intelligent controller (such as a wall switch) is turned on and the brightness. For a user who is insensitive to the light source of a room at night, the backlight value can be turned on, and the user can conveniently find the wall switch to operate the wall switch at night. But for the crowd sensitive to the light source at night, the backlight brightness can be adjusted down or even the backlight is turned off, so that the people can sleep better. Or: the backlight can be adjusted to a preferred color to meet the use requirements of users.

In one embodiment, the processing module 205 is further configured to:

determining that the intelligent controller is in an external control state;

when the intelligent controller is in the external control state, the driving module controls the output on-off module to keep on-off state;

and when the intelligent controller is in the external control state, responding to at least one trigger signal brought by the external control operation of the key, and sending an external control message to the outside.

Through the external control message, the gateway or the terminal can control the corresponding controllable device to execute the control result pointed by the external control message according to the external control message, and the control result can be executed by the corresponding controllable device.

The wall switch is taken as an example of an intelligent controller, and the on-off output of the lines between the connection posts needs to be controlled, so the intelligent controller is a controlled device generally.

The corresponding controllable device is controlled by the gateway or the terminal according to the external control packet, for example: after the external control packet is sent to the gateway or the terminal, the gateway or the terminal may forward part or all of the information of the external control packet to the corresponding controllable device.

The controllable device may be, for example, other intelligent controller (e.g., a wall switch), a fan, a lamp, a socket, a garbage disposal device, a sound box device, etc., or may be a gateway or a terminal itself.

In a further scheme, when determining that the intelligent controller is in the external control state, the processing module 205 is specifically configured to:

acquiring a first appointed command sent by a terminal; the first specified command is generated by the terminal in response to a corresponding manipulation; for example, a corresponding element may be provided in an interface displaying the intelligent controller, and through manipulation of the element, the terminal may generate and issue a first specific command, which may be forwarded to the intelligent controller 2 via the gateway;

in response to the first specified command, determining that the intelligent controller enters the out-of-control state.

In a specific example, in a common state (for example, a non-external control state or a non-pairing state) of the intelligent controller, when external control is required, a user may open the terminal APP, click a device icon of the intelligent controller in an interface, and click "change to a wireless switch" in a page; further, the smart controller may be switched to a wireless switch mode (i.e., an external control state). If the output on-off module of the intelligent controller (such as a wall switch) is in an off state at the moment, the intelligent controller is automatically switched to an on state.

When the intelligent controller is in an external control state, a user operates a key of the intelligent controller, and the processing unit does not send a driving signal to control the on/off of the output on/off module to be switched on or switched off, but maintains the on state. Meanwhile, when the user operates the key, at least one message (namely an external control message) is sent to the gateway or the mobile phone terminal. The message may be used by a gateway or handset terminal or server to control other devices. Specifically, the user can send different external control messages under different operations, and respectively send different external control messages under short-press, double-click and long-press actions.

Through the implementation process under the external control state, the wall switch can be endowed with richer functions.

In one example, if there are two street lamps in the living room, the user can only install one intelligent controller (e.g., wall switch) with two keys to control two street lamps in the living room respectively without external control. However, if the external control state is provided, a three-key intelligent controller (e.g. a wall switch) may be installed, wherein one extra key implements the external control in the external control state, for example: the device is configured into all lamps and other equipment in one-key all-off home, and the one-key all-off state is realized when the door is out.

In another example, the lamp controlled by the intelligent controller (e.g. a wall switch) may be a dimmable intelligent lamp with WIFI or bluetooth communication capability, and at this time, if the dimmable function is to be maintained, the lamp needs to be powered on and kept on line all the time. If a common switch or a wall switch without an external control state is installed, the intelligent lamp is powered down and offline under the condition that the switch is turned off. If the intelligent controller with the external control state is used, the external control message can be sent out and directly or indirectly transmitted to the dimmable intelligent lamp to control the intelligent lamp to be turned on or turned off, for example, the content of the external control message can be directly or indirectly transmitted in a Wifi (wireless fidelity), Bluetooth and other modes, and therefore the power supply of the dimmable intelligent lamp is not required to be turned on or off simply and roughly, and therefore the dimmable intelligent lamp is kept in the online state all the time when being powered.

In one embodiment, the output on-off module is connected in series to a specific intelligent device, and the specific intelligent device can change the output state after detecting that the output on-off module has a power failure event, where the power failure event refers to a state that the output on-off module is changed from a self-on state to an off state, and is changed to the on state after a specific duration;

the processing module 205 is further configured to:

determining that the intelligent controller is in a particular control state;

when the intelligent controller is in the specific control state, if any touch signal is not received, the driving module controls the output on-off module to keep on-off state;

when the intelligent controller is in the specific control state, if a touch signal is received, the driving module is controlled to output a switched-off driving signal in response to the touch signal, the switching is switched to output a switched-on driving signal after the specific duration is maintained, and the switched-on driving signal is kept.

Furthermore, through the above control process, a power failure event can be actively formed for a specific reaction of a specific intelligent device to the power failure event, so as to control the output state of the specific intelligent device to change, wherein the specific intelligent device may be, for example, a dimmable intelligent lamp, but is not limited thereto. In the control process, although the specific intelligent device has a power failure event, the energy storage module (such as a capacitor) in the specific intelligent device is usually not used up, so that the functions of other circuits of the specific intelligent device can still work normally. For example, because the intelligent controller (e.g., a wall switch) automatically recovers after a period of power failure, although the output of the dimmable intelligent lamp is in an off state (i.e., not connected to the alternating current at this time), the dimmable intelligent lamp is still powered, and bluetooth and WIFI can continue to be kept in an online state. Under the condition that the output of the dimming intelligent lamp is turned off, if power failure is detected, the output of the dimming intelligent lamp is adjusted to be turned on.

In a specific embodiment, when determining that the intelligent controller is in a specific control state, the processing module is specifically configured to:

acquiring a second specified command sent by the terminal; the second specified command is generated by the terminal in response to a corresponding manipulation; for example, a corresponding element may be provided in an interface displaying the intelligent controller, and through manipulation of the element, the terminal may generate and issue a second specified command, which may be forwarded to the intelligent controller 2 via the gateway;

in response to the second designated command, determining that the smart controller enters the particular control state.

In a further specific example, in a normal state (for example, a non-external control state or a non-pairing state) of the intelligent controller, a user operates a key to trigger a processing module of the intelligent controller (for example, a wall switch) to send a corresponding driving signal, and then an output on-off module of the intelligent controller (for example, the wall switch) is turned on or off. When the specific control is needed to be realized, a user can open the terminal APP, click the equipment icon of the intelligent controller, and click to convert the intelligent controller into the atom mode in the page; further, the intelligent controller can be switched to a specific control state. And if the output on-off module which can be switched by the intelligent controller is in the off state, the intelligent controller is automatically switched to the on state.

In the specific control state, when a user operates a key, a processing module of an intelligent controller (such as a wall switch) does not send a driving signal to control the on/off of the output on/off module, but sends a corresponding driving signal to control the output on/off module to be turned off, then the processing module is maintained for a specific time (such as 10-200ms), and then the output on/off module is controlled to be turned on, wherein a power failure event can be actively formed in the process.

In one embodiment, the processing module 205 is further configured to:

reporting the state information of the intelligent controller to the gateway or the terminal through the wireless communication module; namely: the intelligent controller reports the state information of the intelligent controller to a gateway or a terminal;

and when the key of the intelligent controller is pressed down, reporting a controller pressing event to the gateway through the wireless communication module.

In addition, all the interfaces of the terminal mentioned in the present disclosure may be different interfaces, and at least some of the interfaces may be the same interface, regardless of the specific interface configuration, as long as the corresponding function is achieved, regardless of the interface changes, without departing from the description scope thereof.

The key driving member 211 can be a silicone key (i.e., the material of the key driving member 211 is a silicone material), and further, the silicone key can bring certain elasticity and deformation capability, specifically, since the silicone is a soft material, the silicone key can be compressed and restored, and the pressing hand feeling can be remarkably improved when the silicone key is arranged between the key and the electronic switch; meanwhile, the compressible performance of the silica gel is matched with the pressing structure of the key, so that the pressing stroke of the tail end of the key can be obviously increased. In other examples, the key driving member 211 may also be other members with or without elasticity and deformation capability.

The elastic member 209 is capable of being compressed and deformed by the pressing of the key 207 and the middle seat 210 when the key 207 is pressed, and generates an acting force to overcome the compression deformation.

Through this elastomeric element, can assist the button to kick-back, the elastomeric element to bubble cotton as example has certain thickness and elasticity, can overcome gravity and kick-back to the natural position under no exogenic action with the help button.
