Description

Equipment control method, device and system, storage medium and electronic device

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to a device control method, a device control system, a storage medium and an electronic device.

Background

In the related art, as more and more intelligent household appliances are connected through the internet of things, different equipment manufacturers establish independent intelligent household appliance protocols and service platforms to manage the intelligent household appliance. Because a plurality of devices of different manufacturers and corresponding human-computer interaction operation software exist in the same family, the incompatibility and difference between the devices of the manufacturers and the corresponding human-computer interaction operation software cause the problems of low operation efficiency, high error rate and poor user experience of the household appliance, and the problem is a great obstacle for hindering the development of the intelligent household appliance industry in the related technical field.

In order to solve the above problems, currently, device manufacturers develop multiple versions facing cloud platforms of different manufacturers at a device end to enable devices to access cloud platforms of other manufacturers, so as to meet requirements of interconnection and intercommunication among devices of cross manufacturers. However, this method has the following problems:

1. the use scenario is limited: the equipment can be accessed to the cloud platform of the corresponding manufacturer only by downloading the version of the corresponding manufacturer, that is, only the equipment under the cloud platform of the same manufacturer can realize interconnection, and the equipment under the cloud platforms of different manufacturers cannot realize interconnection. Specifically, the devices must be guaranteed to access to the same manufacturer cloud platform, and interconnection and intercommunication can be achieved between the devices. For example, for device a, if device a does not access the specified cloud platform, even if device a has completed the distribution network and is in use, device a cannot perform interworking with other devices under the specified cloud platform, unless device a is reconfigured to access device a to the specified cloud platform, device a cannot perform interworking with other devices under the specified cloud platform.

2. The control complexity is high: if a user wants to control equipment under a vendor B cloud platform through an APP of a vendor A, the equipment of the vendor B needs to be accessed to the vendor A cloud platform. At present, corresponding technologies and standards exist to enable the device of the vendor B to access to the cloud platform of the vendor a, so that the device of the vendor a can control the device of the vendor B. However, since the devices are accessed in a cross-platform manner, compatible programs need to be developed on the APP of the manufacturer a, the cloud platform of the manufacturer B, and the devices of the manufacturer B, which results in a complex control flow, huge workload for subsequent research, development, implementation, and maintenance, and high cost.

Aiming at the problems that in the related art, cross-platform control equipment can be realized only by cross-platform access of equipment, and further the flow is complex and the like, an effective technical scheme is not provided yet.

It should be noted that the target account information may be understood as an account in the account information of the target object, that is, the control request sent by the first manufacturer device only needs to include the account in the account information of the target object, and the control request may be sent to the second manufacturer device corresponding to the target account information according to the second association relationship and the first association relationship, and the second manufacturer device corresponding to the target account information is controlled according to the control request.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the account management platform may be understood as a centralized management platform for devices of a first manufacturer, a device platform for devices of a second manufacturer, device information of a device of a second manufacturer, account information of a target object, and the like, and devices of different manufacturers may be connected to the account management platform, so as to implement interconnection and intercommunication between cloud platforms of different manufacturers through the account management platform, and obtain device information of different manufacturers through the account management platform. The cloud platform of the manufacturer can be understood as an equipment platform of manufacturer equipment produced by the manufacturer, and is used for managing the manufacturer equipment.
