For ease of understanding, a system to which the method provided in the embodiments of the present application is applicable will be first illustrated with reference to fig. 3 and 4.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a system 300 to which the method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applicable. As shown in fig. 3, the system 300 includes an electronic device and a smart home device.

The electronic device may be a terminal device, such as the mobile phone 303 shown in fig. 3. The smart home devices may be, for example, a smart desk lamp 301 and a sweeping robot 302 shown in fig. 3. The user can control the intelligent desk lamp 301 and the sweeping robot 302 through the mobile phone 303, for example, the light brightness of the intelligent desk lamp 301 is adjusted through the mobile phone 303, and the sweeping robot 302 is controlled through the mobile phone 303 to sweep the floor.

In a first possible implementation, the mobile phone 303 supports a first smart home protocol, and the smart desk lamp 301 and the sweeping robot 302 support a second smart home protocol. The smart home application program can be installed in the mobile phone 303, and a user can determine multiple functions of the smart desk lamp 301 and the sweeping robot 302 through the smart home application program. In case that the mobile phone 303 detects an input operation of a function button of the plurality of functions by a user, a command 1 for controlling the smart desk lamp 301 and/or the sweeping robot 302 may be generated based on the first smart home protocol and the input operation. Under the condition that the first smart home protocol and the second smart home protocol are different, the mobile phone 303 may translate the command 1 into the command 2 by using the translation control information corresponding to the smart desk lamp 301 and/or the sweeping robot 302, where the command 2 is described by using the second smart home protocol, and the translation control information includes a corresponding relationship between the command 1 and the command 2. Thus, when the cell phone 303 sends the command 2 to the smart desk lamp 301 and/or the sweeping robot 302, the smart desk lamp 301 and/or the sweeping robot 302 can recognize and execute the command.

In a second possible embodiment, the system 300 further includes a cloud server, and the cloud server may determine translation control information corresponding to the intelligent desk lamp 301 and/or the sweeping robot 302, and send the translation control information to the mobile phone 303. For example, when the mobile phone 303 detects the intelligent desk lamp 301 and/or the sweeping robot 302 and determines that the second smart home protocol and the first smart home protocol indicated by the intelligent desk lamp 301 and/or the sweeping robot 302 are different, translation control information corresponding to the intelligent desk lamp 301 and/or the sweeping robot 302 may be obtained from the cloud server.

It should be understood that the second possible implementation differs from the first possible implementation in that the translation comparison information is determined by the cloud server and sent to the electronic device, and the control process of the remaining electronic devices on the smart home device is the same as that of the first possible implementation, which is not described herein.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of yet another system 400 to which the method provided in the embodiments of the present application is applicable. As shown in fig. 4, the system 400 includes a terminal device, an electronic device, an intelligent home device, and a cloud server.

The electronic device may be a terminal device or a network device, such as the smart speaker 403 shown in fig. 4. The smart home devices may be, for example, a smart desk lamp 401 and a sweeping robot 402 shown in fig. 4. The intelligent speaker 403 establishes a bluetooth connection with the intelligent desk lamp 401 and the sweeping robot 402 or is in the same local area network. The terminal device may be, for example, a cell phone 404 shown in fig. 4. The user can control the intelligent table lamp 401 and the sweeping robot 402 through the mobile phone 404, for example, the light brightness of the intelligent table lamp 401 is adjusted through the mobile phone 404, and the sweeping robot 402 is controlled through the mobile phone 404 to sweep the floor, etc.

In one possible implementation, the cell phone 404 supports a first smart home protocol, and the smart desk lamp 401 and/or the sweeping robot 402 supports a second smart home protocol. The smart home application program can be installed in the mobile phone 404, and a user can determine multiple functions of the smart desk lamp 401 and the sweeping robot 402 through the smart home application program. After the terminal device detects an input operation of the functional buttons of the intelligent desk lamp 401 and/or the sweeping robot 402 by the user, a command 3 corresponding to the input operation may be generated. In one case, the distance between the mobile phone 404 and the intelligent speaker 403 is far, and when the bluetooth connection cannot be established or the mobile phone 404 is in the same local area network, the mobile phone 404 can send the command 3 to the intelligent speaker 403 through the cloud server 405; in another case, when a bluetooth connection is established between the mobile phone 404 and the smart speaker 403 or the mobile phone 404 is in the same lan, the mobile phone 404 may directly send the command 3 to the smart speaker 403. Then, the intelligent speaker 403 may translate the command 3 into a command 4 that the intelligent desk lamp 401 and/or the sweeping robot 402 can recognize by using the translation control information corresponding to the intelligent desk lamp 401 and/or the sweeping robot 402, and send the command 4 to the intelligent desk lamp 401 and/or the sweeping robot 402, so as to control the intelligent desk lamp 401 and the sweeping robot 402.

The translation comparison information may be determined by the smart speaker 403 itself, or may be obtained by the smart speaker 403 from the cloud server 405, which is not specifically limited in this application.

It should be understood that the system 300 and the system 400 are merely examples of a system to which the method provided in the embodiments of the present application is applicable, and the system to which the method provided in the embodiments of the present application is applicable may further include more or fewer devices, for example, may include one or more smart home devices, and the number and the form of each device in the system are not specifically limited in this application.

In system 300 and system 400, a smart home device can recognize and execute a command received by the smart home device when the command is a smart home protocol recognizable by the smart home device. For example, when the smart home device is a Matter type device, the smart home device may recognize various commands using the Matter protocol, and thus, in the case when the command received by the smart home device is a Matter protocol, the smart home device may recognize and execute the command. At present, in order to enable the electronic device to control various devices adopting different types of intelligent home protocols, a translation comparison table of various different intelligent home devices can be preset in the electronic device, and the translation comparison table can be used for translating commands adopting other types of intelligent home protocols into commands in the intelligent home protocols adopted by the intelligent home devices. Therefore, the electronic equipment can translate the command of the terminal equipment or the electronic equipment into the command which can be identified by the intelligent household equipment according to the translation comparison table, so that the intelligent household is controlled.

However, as the types of devices of the current smart home devices are more and the types of the adopted smart home protocols are more and more, for the smart home devices of a part type, a translation comparison table corresponding to the smart home devices of the part type may not be preset in the electronic device, and as the smart home devices of the part type may not recognize a command from the electronic device, the electronic device or the terminal device may not control the smart home devices of the part type, so that the control method of the smart home devices is poor in universality and poor in user experience.

In addition, when the electronic device needs to display an interface of the function buttons of the smart home device, for example, for an intelligent desk lamp, the electronic device can display the interface of the function buttons including the switch button, the brightness adjusting button and the like, so that a user can realize control of the smart home device through operation of the function buttons in the interface. Illustratively, the display interface of the electronic device may be determined by a method as shown in fig. 5, the method 500 comprising the steps of:

s501, the electronic device sends a request 1 to the intelligent home device, wherein the request 1 is used for requesting the device product model of the intelligent home device. Correspondingly, the smart home device receives a request 1 from the electronic device.

S502, in response to the request 1, the smart home device sends information 1 to the electronic device, where the information 1 includes information indicating a device product model of the smart home device. Correspondingly, the electronic device receives information 1 from the smart home device.

S503, the electronic device sends a request 2 to the cloud server, wherein the request 2 is used for requesting a target control card corresponding to the equipment product model of the intelligent home equipment. Correspondingly, the cloud server receives a request 2 from the electronic device.

It should be understood that the control card may also be understood as a display interface, and the control card may include function buttons corresponding to functions of the smart home device. For example, the control card corresponding to the equipment product model of the intelligent desk lamp can comprise function buttons such as a switch button, a brightness adjusting button and the like.

S504, responding to the request 2, and acquiring a target control card corresponding to the equipment product model of the intelligent household equipment by the cloud server.

It should be understood that the cloud server can store a plurality of control cards corresponding to various equipment product models, so that the cloud server can search the control cards corresponding to the equipment product models of the intelligent household equipment from the plurality of control cards under the condition that the equipment product models of the intelligent household equipment are determined, and the control cards are target control cards.

S505, the cloud server sends information 2 to the electronic equipment, wherein the information 2 comprises information for indicating a target control card. Correspondingly, the electronic device receives information 2 from the cloud server.

S506, based on the information 2, the electronic device displays the target control card.

According to the method 500, a plurality of control cards corresponding to various equipment product types are required to be stored in the cloud server, and along with the increase of the equipment types of the intelligent home equipment, more and more control cards are required to be stored in the cloud server. In addition, for the intelligent home equipment which does not store the control card corresponding to the equipment product model in the cloud server, the electronic equipment cannot acquire the control card corresponding to the intelligent home equipment from the cloud server, so that the electronic equipment cannot display the control card, and a user cannot control the intelligent home equipment through the electronic equipment, therefore, the method enables the electronic equipment to acquire the control card stored in the cloud server only, and the universality is poor.

In order to solve the technical problems, the present application provides a control method and a control device for an intelligent home device, where an electronic device detects broadcast information of the intelligent home device, and determines that a second intelligent home protocol adopted by the intelligent home device is different from a first intelligent home protocol adopted by the electronic device, translation control information corresponding to the intelligent home device is determined according to a device type, a plurality of functions and a command corresponding to each function in the plurality of functions of the intelligent home device, so that, for a new type of intelligent home device, the electronic device can also determine translation control information corresponding to the new type of intelligent home device according to the device type, the plurality of functions and the command corresponding to each function in the plurality of functions of the intelligent home device.

The following describes in detail a control method of the smart home device according to the present application with reference to fig. 6 to 11. The embodiment shown in the application shows the control method of the intelligent home equipment from the perspective of equipment interaction. The specific form and number of the devices shown therein are merely examples and should not be construed as limiting the practice of the methods provided herein in any way. Next, taking an electronic device, an intelligent home device and a cloud server as an execution main body as an example, a control method of the intelligent home device in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail.

It should be understood that the electronic device may be the electronic device itself, for example, a terminal device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a network device such as a router, a gateway, etc., may be a chip, a chip system or a processor that supports the electronic device to implement a control method of the smart home device, or may be a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the electronic device; the intelligent household equipment can be intelligent household equipment, such as an intelligent desk lamp, a television, a sweeping robot and an intelligent sound box, can also be a chip, a chip system or a processor for supporting the intelligent household equipment to realize a control method of the intelligent household equipment, and can also be a logic module or software for realizing all or part of the intelligent household equipment; the cloud server may be one or more server devices, or may be a chip, a chip system or a processor that supports the cloud server to implement a control method of the smart home device, which is not limited in detail.

The hardware structure of the electronic device may be as shown in fig. 1, and the software structure of the electronic device may be as shown in fig. 2. The method 600 includes the steps of:

s601, the intelligent home equipment sends broadcasting information, and the broadcasting information carries information for indicating the intelligent home equipment to support a second intelligent home protocol. Correspondingly, the electronic device receives broadcast information from the smart home device.

The smart home protocol may also be referred to as a communication protocol, which may be understood as rules and conventions that must be followed to complete communication or services between the smart home device and other electronic devices, such as a Matter protocol. Different electronic devices or smart home devices may support different smart home protocols. The broadcast information may be bluetooth broadcast information, wireless fidelity (wireless fidelity, wi-Fi) broadcast information, near field communication/near field wireless communication technology (near field communication, NFC) broadcast information, etc., which is not specifically limited in this application.

Under the condition that the Bluetooth switches of the intelligent home equipment and the electronic equipment are in an on state, the broadcast information can be Bluetooth broadcast information; in the case where the smart home device and the electronic device are in the same local area network, the broadcast information may be Wi-Fi broadcast information. The information carried in the broadcast information for indicating that the smart home device supports the second smart home protocol may be understood that the broadcast information carries an identifier of the second smart home protocol, and in an example, the broadcast information carries Ma, where Ma may be an identifier of the Matter protocol. The electronic device may determine, according to the Ma, that the smart home device supports the Matter protocol.

It should be understood that, besides the information for indicating that the smart home device supports the second smart home protocol, other information may be carried in the broadcast information, for example, a device identifier of the smart home device, etc., and the content included in the broadcast information is not specifically limited in this application.

S602, responding to broadcast information, the electronic device acquires first description information from the intelligent home device, wherein the first description information is used for indicating M functions of the intelligent home device, at least one command supported by each function of the M functions and the device type of the intelligent home device, the first description information is generated based on a second intelligent home protocol, and M is a positive integer. Correspondingly, the electronic device receives first description information from the intelligent home device.

The first description information is used for indicating M functions of the smart home device, at least one command supported by each function of the M functions, and a device type of the smart home device, which may be understood as that the first description information includes an identifier of the M functions, an identifier of the at least one command, and an identifier of the device type of the smart home device. The first description information may be preset information in the smart home device, and the first description information may also be referred to as a model description file, where the name of the first description information is not specifically limited in this application.

For example, assuming that the smart home device is a smart desk lamp, the M functions may be a switching function, a brightness adjusting function, and the like; the at least one command supported by the switching function may be two commands of on and off; the at least one command supported by the brightness adjustment function may be both a command to adjust brightness up and a command to adjust brightness down.

It should be understood that the first description information may be a simplified file for describing functions and commands of the smart home device, that is, the first description information may include an identifier of M functions, an identifier of at least one command, and an identifier of a device type of the smart home device, and the electronic device may not be able to determine the functions possessed by the smart home device and the commands supported by each function according to the first description information. Illustratively, assuming that the smart home device is a smart desk lamp, the first description information includes On/Off, 00 and 01 supported by On/Off; wherein On/Off is used for indicating the switch function of the intelligent desk lamp, 00 is used for indicating the On command supported by the switch function, and 01 is used for indicating the Off command supported by the switch function. In the case where the smart home protocols supported by the electronic device and the smart home device are different, the electronic device may not be able to determine the meaning corresponding to each identifier according to On/Off, and On/Off supported 00 and 01.

In addition, the first description information may be used to indicate information such as a function type, which may be used to describe different types of the M functions of the smart home device, in addition to the M functions, at least one command supported by each of the M functions, and the device type of the smart home device. For example, assuming that the smart home device is a smart desk lamp, the smart desk lamp includes a main lamp and a night lamp, wherein the main lamp and the night lamp both correspond to a switching function and a brightness adjustment function, the function type of the smart desk lamp may include the main lamp function and the night lamp function, wherein the main lamp function supports a first switching function and a first brightness adjustment function, the first switching function supports a first on command and a first off command, and the first brightness adjustment function supports a first brightness adjustment command and a first brightness adjustment command; the night light function supports a second switch function and a second dimming function, the second switch function supports a second on command and a second off command, and the second dimming function supports a second turn-up dimming command and a second turn-down dimming command.

And S603, the electronic equipment sends the first description information to the cloud server. Correspondingly, the cloud server receives first description information from the electronic equipment.

S604, the cloud server determines translation contrast information based on the first description information. The translation comparison information comprises a first corresponding relation and/or a second corresponding relation, the first corresponding relation comprises a corresponding relation between a function identifier of the intelligent home equipment corresponding to the first intelligent home protocol and a function identifier of the intelligent home equipment corresponding to the second intelligent home protocol, and the second corresponding relation comprises a corresponding relation between a command identifier of the intelligent home equipment corresponding to the first intelligent home protocol and a command identifier of the intelligent home equipment corresponding to the second intelligent home protocol.

It should be understood that the function identifier of the smart home device included in the first correspondence may be an identifier of all or part of the M functions, and the command identifier of the smart home device included in the second correspondence may be an identifier of all or part of at least one command supported by each of the M functions. For example, assuming that the intelligent home device is an intelligent table lamp, and the M functions of the intelligent table lamp include a switching function, a light adjusting function, a camera shooting function and a music playing function, the function identifier of the intelligent home device included in the first corresponding relationship may be an identifier of the switching function and an identifier of the light adjusting function; if the switch function of the intelligent desk lamp supports an on command and an off command, the light adjusting function supports a brightness adjusting command, a cold light adjusting command and a warm light adjusting command, the command identifier of the intelligent household device included in the second corresponding relation can be an on command identifier, an off command identifier, a brightness adjusting command and a brightness adjusting command.

The function identifier of the intelligent home equipment corresponding to the first intelligent home protocol can be understood as the function identifier of the intelligent furniture equipment defined by the first intelligent home protocol, and the command identifier of the intelligent home equipment corresponding to the second intelligent home protocol can be understood as the command identifier of the intelligent furniture equipment defined by the second intelligent home protocol; in the first corresponding relation, the meaning or annotation of the functional identifier of the corresponding smart home device corresponding to the first smart home protocol is the same as the meaning or annotation of the functional identifier of the corresponding smart home device corresponding to the second smart home protocol. For example, in the first correspondence, there is a correspondence between Light and E1, where Light and E1 each represent a desk lamp, and Light is described by using a first smart home protocol, and E1 is described by using a second smart home protocol.

In addition, in addition to the first correspondence and the second correspondence, the translation comparison information may further include more types of correspondence, for example, a third correspondence, where the third correspondence includes a correspondence between a function type identifier of the smart home device corresponding to the first smart home protocol and a function type identifier of the smart home device corresponding to the second smart home protocol; for example, the fourth corresponding relationship includes a corresponding relationship between a device type identifier of the smart home device corresponding to the first smart home protocol and a device type identifier of the smart home device corresponding to the second smart home protocol; for example, the fifth correspondence may include a correspondence between a device model identifier of the smart home device corresponding to the first smart home protocol and a device model identifier of the smart home device corresponding to the second smart home protocol.

Illustratively, the translation control information may be as shown in table 1. The translation control information includes a first correspondence, a second correspondence, and a third correspondence. The Light is a function type identifier corresponding to the first intelligent home protocol, the On is a function identifier corresponding to the first intelligent home protocol, and the On is a command identifier corresponding to the first intelligent home protocol; endpoint 1 is a function type identifier corresponding to a first smart home protocol, ON_OFF_CLUSTER is a function identifier corresponding to the first smart home protocol, and ON/OFF, OFF and ON are command identifiers corresponding to a second smart home protocol.

The first corresponding relation comprises a corresponding relation of On and Endpoint 1, wherein On and Endpoint 1 both represent switching functions; the second corresponding relation comprises a corresponding relation of reading and On/Off, a corresponding relation of closing and Off and a corresponding relation of opening and On, wherein the reading and On/Off respectively represent reading commands, the closing and Off respectively represent closing commands, and the opening and On respectively represent opening commands; the third correspondence includes a correspondence of Light and Endpoint 1, both Light and Endpoint 1 representing a main Light function.

TABLE 1

And S605, the cloud server sends the translation contrast information to the electronic equipment. Correspondingly, the electronic equipment receives the translation comparison information from the cloud server and controls the intelligent household equipment by utilizing the translation comparison information.

In the method 600, S604 can be implemented in two ways, as follows.

The first mode and the translation contrast information are determined based on a first description file and a second description file, the first description file is determined based on the first description information and a first intelligent home protocol definition file corresponding to the first intelligent home protocol, and the second description file is determined based on the first description information and a second intelligent home protocol definition file corresponding to the second intelligent home protocol.

It should be appreciated that the first smart home protocol definition file may also be referred to as a standard model definition library of the first smart home protocol, where the first smart home protocol definition file is defined using the first smart home protocol, and includes information indicating a plurality of functions supported by the device of each of the plurality of device types and commands supported by each of the plurality of functions. The second smart home protocol definition file may also be referred to as a standard model definition library of a second smart home protocol, where the second smart home protocol definition file is defined using the second smart home protocol, and the second smart home protocol definition file includes information indicating a plurality of functions supported by devices of each of the plurality of device types and commands supported by each of the plurality of functions. The names of the first smart home protocol definition file and the second smart home protocol definition file are not particularly limited.

In a first mode, the first description information includes function identifiers of M functions and command identifiers of at least one command; in the case where the translation control information is determined based on the first description file and the second description file, S604 may be implemented by: searching the function identifications of the M functions, the comments of the command identifications of the at least one command and the comments of the command identifications of the at least one command from a second intelligent home protocol definition file corresponding to the second intelligent home protocol by utilizing the function identifications of the M functions and the command identifications of the at least one command to obtain a second description file; searching the function identifications of the M functions, the comments of the command identifications of the at least one command and the comments of the command identifications of the at least one command from a first intelligent home protocol definition file corresponding to the first intelligent home protocol by utilizing the function identifications of the M functions and the command identifications of the at least one command to obtain a second description file; translation control information is determined based on the first description file and the second description file.

Alternatively, determining the translation control information based on the first description file and the second description file may be implemented by: determining a first corresponding relation based on the function identifiers of the M functions, the first description file and the second description file; and determining a second corresponding relation based on the command identification of the at least one command, the first description file and the second description file.

Wherein, based on the function identifications of the M functions, the first description file and the second description file, determining the first correspondence may be implemented by: searching a second function identifier which is the same as the annotation of the first function identifier in the second description file from the first description file, setting the corresponding relation between the first function identifier and the second function identifier to obtain a first corresponding relation, wherein the first function identifier belongs to function identifiers of M functions; based on the identification corresponding to the command identification of the at least one command and the first description file, determining the second correspondence may be implemented by: searching a second command identifier which is the same as the annotation of the first command identifier in the second description file from the first description file, setting the corresponding relation between the first command identifier and the second command identifier to obtain a second corresponding relation, wherein the first command identifier belongs to the command identifier of at least one command.

It should be appreciated that the second correspondence may be determined based on the first correspondence, and the first correspondence may include, for example, a correspondence between a first function identifier in the first description file and a second function identifier in the second description file, and the electronic device may search for a first command identifier that is the same as an annotation of a second command identifier in at least one command supported by the second function identifier from at least one command supported by the first function identifier in the first description file, and set the correspondence between the first command identifier and the second command identifier, so that, in a case where at least one command supported by two different functions has the same command, the electronic device may also set the correct first correspondence and the second correspondence. In an exemplary embodiment, the function identifier includes a light switch function identifier and a sound box function identifier, where the light switch function identifier supports an on command and an off command, and the sound box function identifier supports an on command and an off command, so that after the electronic device determines a correspondence between the light switch function identifier defined by using the first smart home protocol and the light switch function identifier defined by using the second smart home protocol, a correspondence between the on command supported by using the light switch function defined by using the first smart home protocol and the on command supported by using the light switch function defined by using the second smart home protocol may be set, thereby avoiding setting a correspondence between the on command supported by using the light switch function defined by using the second smart home protocol and the on command supported by using the sound box switch function defined by using the first smart home protocol.

The second mode and the translation contrast information are determined according to a first description file, a second description file and second description information, the first description file is determined based on the second description file and a first intelligent home protocol definition file corresponding to the first intelligent home protocol, the second description file is determined based on the first description file and a second intelligent home protocol definition file corresponding to the second intelligent home protocol, the second description information comprises information used for indicating target functions and target commands supported by each function in the target functions, and the second description information is used for indicating part or all of information in the second description file.

The second mode is different from the first mode in that in the second mode, translation control information is further required to be determined according to the second description information, and the first description file is determined according to the second description information and the first smart home protocol definition file.

The second description information may be understood as information describing a translation range of a device type of the smart home device. The second description information may be information defined using a second smart home protocol. The second description information includes part or all of the information in the second description file, that is, the target function is all or part of the M functions, and the target command is all or part of the at least one command. The target function can be understood as a function of the intelligent home equipment which needs to be translated by the cloud server, the target command can be understood as a command which needs to be translated by the cloud server and is supported by the function of the intelligent home equipment, and the target command is all or part of a plurality of commands supported by the target function.

Alternatively, the second description information may include a function identification of the target function, an annotation of the function identification of the target function, a command identification of the target command supported by each of the target functions, and an annotation of the command identification of the target command supported by each of the target functions. Other identifications, such as a function type identification, an annotation of a function type identification, or an identification of an event attribute, an annotation of an identification of an event attribute, and the like, may also be included in the second description information. The event attribute may be an alarm event, a laundry completion event, etc.

Illustratively, the second description information may be as shown in table 2, on_off represents the switch function, 006 is a function identifier of the switch function; on/Off represents a read, 0000 is a command identifier of the read; off represents Off, 00 is the command identification of Off; on indicates On, 01 is the command identification of On.

TABLE 2

In the second mode, the first description information includes function identifiers of M functions and command identifiers of at least one command, and the second description information includes function identifiers of target functions and command identifiers of target commands, and S604 may be implemented in the following manner: searching the function identifications of the M functions, the comments of the command identifications of the at least one command and the comments of the command identifications of the at least one command from a second intelligent home protocol definition file corresponding to the second intelligent home protocol by utilizing the function identifications of the M functions and the command identifications of the at least one command to obtain a second description file; searching the function identification of the target function, the annotation of the function identification of the target function and the annotation of the command identification of the target command supported by each function in the target function from a first intelligent home protocol definition file corresponding to the first intelligent home protocol by utilizing the function identification of the target function and the command identification of the target command to obtain a first description file; determining a first corresponding relation based on the function identification of the target function, the first description file and the second description file; and determining a second corresponding relation based on the command identification of the target command, the first description file and the second description file.

According to the technical scheme of the second mode, compared with the method for translating all the information in the second description file, the cloud server can translate part of functions and/or part of commands of the intelligent home equipment, all the information in the second description file is not required to be translated, and the flexibility is high.

It should be understood that the manner of determining the first corresponding relationship in the second manner is similar to the manner of determining the first corresponding relationship in the first manner, and the manner of determining the second corresponding relationship in the second manner is similar to the manner of determining the second corresponding relationship in the first manner, which is referred to the description above and will not be repeated here.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, before determining the translation control information, the cloud server may determine, according to the first description file, the second description file, the target function and the target command, a mapping relationship between at least one command supported by each target function in the first description file and at least one command supported by each target function in the second description file; and determining translation control information according to the mapping relation, the format requirement of the translation control information and other information. Illustratively, as shown in table 3, assume that the target function includes a switch function belonging to a Light function type, in the first description file, an identification of the Light function type is Light, an identification of the switch function is On, and at least one command supported by the switch function includes read, off, and On; in the second description file, the switch function is identified as on_off_closed, the read is identified as ON/OFF, the OFF is identified as OFF, and the ON is identified as ON.

TABLE 3 Table 3

As an alternative embodiment, S602 may be implemented by: responding to the broadcast information, and judging whether a second intelligent home protocol supported by the intelligent home equipment is the same as the first intelligent home protocol; and under the condition that the second intelligent home protocol is different from the first intelligent home protocol, acquiring the first description information from the intelligent home equipment.

Alternatively, the obtaining the first description information from the smart home device may be implemented by: the electronic device sends a request 3 for requesting the first description information to the smart home device, and correspondingly, the smart home device receives the request 3. In response to the request 3, the smart home device sends the first description information to the electronic device, and correspondingly, the electronic device receives the first description information from the smart home device.

In addition, the first description file can be used for determining translation comparison information, and the electronic device can also be used for generating a command for instructing the smart home device to execute an operation. Therefore, after the cloud server determines the first description file and the translation control information, the first description file and the translation control information may be sent to the electronic device.

In one example, the electronic device can obtain the translation control information and the first description file using a process as shown in FIG. 7. When the electronic equipment receives the broadcast information from the intelligent home equipment, determining that the intelligent home equipment supports a second intelligent home protocol; the electronic equipment acquires first description information from the intelligent home equipment and sends the first description information to the cloud server. The cloud server receives first description information from the electronic equipment; the cloud server determines a second description file based on the first description information and the second intelligent home protocol definition file; the cloud server determines a first description file according to the second description information and the first intelligent home protocol definition file; and the cloud server determines translation control information and the first description file by using the first description file, the second description file and the first description information, and sends the translation control information and the first description file to the electronic equipment.

In the system 300, after the electronic device obtains the translation contrast information, a control card of the smart home device may be displayed in the smart home application program, where the control card of the smart home device includes a function button corresponding to the smart home device, for example, at least one function button corresponding to a target function; or, in the system 400, after the electronic device obtains the translation look-up table, the electronic device may obtain a control card of the smart home device, and send the control card to the terminal device, so that the terminal device displays the control card. Illustratively, the electronic device may obtain a control card for the smart home device through a method 800 as shown in fig. 8. The method 800 includes the steps of:

s801, the electronic equipment acquires equipment type information of the intelligent home equipment from the intelligent home equipment, wherein the equipment type information indicates at least one equipment type. Correspondingly, the electronic device receives device type information from the smart home device.

S802, the electronic device sends a first request for acquiring a control card corresponding to at least one device type to the cloud server, wherein the first request comprises device type information. Correspondingly, the cloud server receives a first request from the electronic device.

S803, responding to the first request, combining control cards corresponding to each equipment type in at least one equipment type to obtain a combined control card, wherein the combined control card comprises function buttons corresponding to each equipment type in at least one equipment type.

It should be appreciated that the combined control card may include a control card corresponding to each of the at least one device type.

S804, the cloud server sends card information to the electronic equipment, wherein the card information comprises information for indicating the combined control card. Correspondingly, the electronic equipment receives card information from the cloud server.

Optionally, the electronic device displays the combined control card; alternatively, in the scene 400, the electronic device may transmit card information to the terminal device to cause the terminal device to display the combination control card.

It is understood that control cards corresponding to multiple device types can be stored in the cloud server, after the electronic device sends device type information of the intelligent household device to the cloud server, the control cards corresponding to each device type in at least one device type can be combined to obtain a combined control card corresponding to the intelligent household device, and therefore, compared with the control cards corresponding to multiple device product types stored in the cloud server, the cloud server can determine the control card of the intelligent household device according to the device type information of the intelligent household device. For example, a control card corresponding to a desk lamp type device, a control card corresponding to a sound box type device and a control card corresponding to a camera type device are stored in a cloud server, and for an intelligent desk lamp with a new product model 0001 of a device on the market, the intelligent desk lamp not only supports the function of the desk lamp type device, but also supports the function of the sound box type device, when an electronic device acquires the control card corresponding to the intelligent desk lamp through the method 500, if the control card corresponding to 0001 is not stored in the cloud server, the electronic device cannot acquire the control card corresponding to the intelligent desk lamp; however, when the electronic device obtains the control card corresponding to the intelligent desk lamp through the method 500, the electronic device obtains device type information from the intelligent desk lamp, where the device type information may include a desk lamp device type and a sound box device type, so that the cloud server may combine the control card corresponding to the desk lamp device type and the control card corresponding to the sound box device type according to the desk lamp device type and the sound box device type, to obtain the control card corresponding to the intelligent desk lamp, so that the method 800 has higher universality.

In an example, as shown in fig. 9, a control card set is preset in the cloud server, where the control card set includes control cards corresponding to multiple device types; for the intelligent home equipment 1, assuming that the equipment type information of the intelligent home equipment 1 comprises the equipment type 1 and the equipment type 2, the cloud server can combine the control card 1 corresponding to the equipment type 1 and the control card 2 corresponding to the equipment type 2 to obtain the control card corresponding to the intelligent home equipment 1; for the intelligent home equipment 2, assuming that the equipment type information of the intelligent home equipment 2 comprises the equipment type 2 and the equipment type 3, the cloud server can combine the control card 2 corresponding to the equipment type 2 and the control card 3 corresponding to the equipment type 3 to obtain the control card corresponding to the intelligent home equipment 2; similarly, for the intelligent home device N, assuming that the device type information of the intelligent home device N includes the device type m and the device type m+1, the cloud server may combine the control card m corresponding to the device type m and the control card m+1 corresponding to the device type m+1 to obtain the control card corresponding to the intelligent home device N.

As an alternative embodiment, the electronic device controlling the smart home device using the translation contrast information in S605 may be implemented by: the electronic equipment acquires a first command, wherein the first command is used for requesting to execute a first operation on the intelligent household equipment; the electronic equipment translates the first command into a second command by using translation control information, wherein the translation control information comprises a corresponding relation between the first command and the second command; and the electronic equipment sends the second command to the intelligent household equipment, and correspondingly, the intelligent household equipment receives the second command from the electronic equipment.

It should be understood that the first command is a command defined using a first smart home protocol and the second command is a command defined using a second smart home protocol.

In the first case, as shown in the system 300, the first command is a command generated by the electronic device and defined by using the first smart home protocol, that is, the electronic device detects an input operation of the user, and generates a first command corresponding to the input operation.

Wherein, the electronic device generates the first command based on the input operation of the user by: the method 600 further comprises: the electronic equipment sets a first association relation between the function buttons and the target functions included in the combined control card and a second association relation between at least one state of each of the function buttons and the target commands according to the first description file; detecting input operation of a user on a first function button in the combined control card, wherein the first function button is switched to a first state; based on the first association and the second association, a first command associated with the first state of the first function button is generated.

Setting the first association relationship and the second association relationship may also be understood as generating a description file including the first association relationship and the second association relationship, so that when the user operates the first function button, the electronic device may determine, according to the first association relationship, that the electronic device needs to control the function of the smart home device, and determine the first command according to the state of the first function button and the second association relationship.

It should be appreciated that the first description file may refer to the description in the method 600 above, and is not repeated here.

In the second case, as shown in the system 400, the first command is a command sent by the terminal device to the electronic device or a command sent by the terminal device to the electronic device through the cloud server.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 10, the first command is a command sent by the terminal device to the electronic device. The electronic equipment comprises an interconnection control module, a translation engine module and a translation module. The translation module may be configured to determine the first description file and the translation control information, and send the translation control information and the first description file to the translation engine module. After the terminal equipment sends the first command to the electronic equipment, interconnection and interworking control in the electronic equipment acquires the first command and sends the first command to the translation engine module. The translation engine module may translate the first command into a second command using the translation control information and send the second command to the smart home device.

Fig. 11 is a flowchart of a control method 1100 of an intelligent home device according to an embodiment of the present application. The method 1100 may be applied in the system 300 or the system 400. The hardware structure of the electronic device may be as shown in fig. 1, and the software structure of the electronic device may be as shown in fig. 2. The method 1100 includes the steps of:

S1101, the intelligent home equipment sends broadcasting information, and the broadcasting information carries information for indicating the intelligent home equipment to support a second intelligent home protocol. Correspondingly, the electronic device receives broadcast information from the smart home device.

S1102, responding to broadcast information, the electronic device acquires first description information from the intelligent home device, wherein the first description information is used for indicating M functions of the intelligent home device, at least one command supported by each function of the M functions and the device type of the intelligent home device, the first description information is generated based on a second intelligent home protocol, and M is a positive integer. Correspondingly, the electronic device receives first description information from the intelligent home device.

S1103, the electronic device determines translation comparison information according to the first description information, and controls the intelligent home device by using the translation comparison information. The translation contrast information comprises a first corresponding relation and/or a second corresponding relation, the first corresponding relation comprises a corresponding relation between a function identifier of the intelligent home equipment corresponding to the first intelligent home protocol and a function identifier of the intelligent home equipment corresponding to the second intelligent home protocol, and the second corresponding relation comprises a corresponding relation between a command identifier of the intelligent home equipment corresponding to the first intelligent home protocol and a command identifier of the intelligent home equipment corresponding to the second intelligent home protocol.

It should be appreciated that, in contrast to the method 600, the method 1100 is different in that the translation control information is not acquired by the electronic device from the cloud server, but is determined by the electronic device itself, and other than that, the embodiment of the method 1100 is similar to the embodiment of the method 600, and reference is made to the above description and will not be repeated here.

Optionally, in the method 1100, the electronic device may further send the first description information to a cloud server, where the cloud server determines the first description file and the second description file, and sends the first description file and the second description file to the electronic device; the electronic device then determines translation control information based on the first description file and the second description file.
