Description

Method, device and wire controller for controlling wire controller

This application is based on a Chinese patent application with application number 202210078309.7 and a filing date of January 24, 2022, and claims the priority of this Chinese patent application. The entire content of this Chinese patent application is hereby incorporated by reference into this application.

technical field

The present application relates to the technical field of wire controller control, for example, to a method, device and wire controller for controlling a wire controller.

Background technique

At present, most of the environmental adjustment devices in the home are controlled by wire controllers, and the display interface of the existing wire controllers is mostly displayed by Duan's liquid crystal. At this stage, the display characteristics of Duan's LCD make it impossible to adapt to different models on the same wire controller or increase the control function of the wire controller. If the wire controller needs to be adapted to different models or to increase the control function of the wire controller, it is necessary to redevelop the LCD to display the control interface of the wire controller, which also leads to problems such as increasing the cost of mold opening. In another case, TFT (Thin Film Transistor, thin film transistor) color LCD or dot-matrix LCD can also be used to improve the universality of the display interface of the wire controller. However, due to the high cost of TFT color LCD or dot-matrix LCD, they are not widely used by users.

Therefore, how to improve the universality of the display interface of the wire controller has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for controlling a wire controller provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; combined with what is shown in Fig. 1 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a wire controller, including:

S11, in response to the power-on instruction, the wire controller controls it to deliver the first protocol to the environmental conditioning equipment in its communication area, and determines the communication result.

S12, the wire controller determines the target environment adjustment device to be displayed on the wire controller display interface according to the communication result.

S13, the wire controller controls it to display according to the display interface corresponding to the target environment adjustment device, so that the user can control the target environment adjustment device through the display interface of the wire controller.

In this solution, the wire controller can receive the startup command sent by the user or preset, and start the startup, and after the wire controller is turned on, control it to send the first protocol to the environment regulating equipment in its communication area. Here, the communication area refers to an area where wireless communication can be performed within the range around the wire controller. The environmental conditioning equipment can be one or more of air conditioners, fresh air fans, and floor heating. The first protocol can specifically refer to communication protocols, which can include control instructions, verification information, and expanded equipment types, and can query equipment types when communicating through the first protocol. In this way, the communication result can be determined when the line controller issues the first protocol to the environment regulating equipment in its communication area. Specifically, the communication result may include communication success or communication failure. If the communication result indicates that the communication is successful, it is determined that the environment adjustment device corresponding to the communication result supports the first protocol; if the communication result indicates that the communication fails, it is determined that the environment adjustment device corresponding to the communication result does not support the first protocol.

Further, the wire controller can determine the target environment adjustment device to be displayed on the display interface of the wire controller according to the communication result. Specifically, the target environment adjustment device that supports communication using the first protocol can be selected from multiple environment adjustment devices in the communication area where the wire controller is located, and the target environment device can be used as the device to be displayed on the display interface of the wire controller, so that the wire controller can be controlled to display according to the display interface corresponding to the target environment adjustment device, so that the user can control the target environment adjustment device through the display interface of the wire controller.

Using the method for controlling the wire controller provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by responding to the power-on command, the wire controller is controlled to send the first protocol to the environment adjustment device in its communication area, and the communication result is determined; thus, according to the communication result, the target environment adjustment device to be displayed on the display interface of the wire controller is determined; the wire controller is controlled to display according to the display interface corresponding to the target environment adjustment device, so that the user can control the target environment adjustment device through the display interface of the wire controller. With this solution, the same wire controller can be adapted to different environmental adjustment devices through the adaptation and compatibility of the wire controller to the protocol, so that users can display and control the interfaces of different environment adjustment devices on the same wire controller, effectively saving the cost of LCD mold development, and further improving the universality of the wire controller display interface.

Optionally, in S12, the wire controller determines the target environment adjustment device to be displayed on the wire controller display interface according to the communication result, including:

If the communication result is communication success, determine the target environmental adjustment device to be displayed on the display interface of the wire controller according to the first response information of the environmental adjustment device in the communication area; if the communication result is communication failure, control the wire controller to issue the second protocol to the environmental adjustment device in the communication area, and determine the target environmental adjustment device to be displayed on the display interface of the wire controller according to the second response information of the environmental adjustment device in the communication area; where the first response information is the response information of the environmental adjustment device in the communication area after receiving the first protocol, and the second response information is Response information of the environment regulating equipment in the communication area after receiving the second protocol.

In this solution, when the communication result is successful, the target environmental adjustment device to be displayed on the display interface of the wire controller can be determined in combination with the first response information responded by the environmental adjustment device in the communication area. Here, the first response information may be the response information of the environment regulating equipment in the communication area after receiving the first protocol. On the other hand, if the communication result is a communication failure, it is determined that the environmental adjustment device does not support the first protocol, and then the wire controller needs to be controlled to deliver the second protocol to the environmental adjustment device within its communication area. Here, the definitions of the first protocol and the second protocol are different. The second protocol is a short code, and the first protocol can be a long code due to the extension of the device type. Further, the target environment adjustment device to be displayed on the display interface of the wire controller may be determined in combination with the second response information responded by the environment adjustment device in the communication area. Wherein, the second response information is the response information of the environment regulating equipment in the communication area after receiving the second protocol. In this way, it is possible to accurately determine the target environment adjustment device adapted to the display interface of the wire controller through the response status of the environment adjustment device feedback after the protocol is issued.

Optionally, the wire controller determines the target environment adjustment device to be displayed on the display interface of the wire controller according to the first response information responded by the environment adjustment device in the communication area, including:

When the first response information of the environmental adjustment equipment in the communication area indicates that the environmental adjustment equipment responds according to the second protocol, the wire controller determines that the target environmental adjustment equipment to be displayed on the display interface is an air conditioner; when the first response information responded by the environmental adjustment equipment within the communication area indicates that the environmental adjustment equipment responds according to the first protocol, the wire controller determines the target environmental adjustment equipment to be displayed on the wire controller display interface according to the query information of the target environmental adjustment equipment.

In this solution, after receiving the first response information from the environment adjustment device, the wire controller can determine the data length of the first response information, so as to distinguish whether the environment adjustment device responds according to the first protocol or the second protocol. Further, when the first response information of the environmental adjustment equipment in the communication area indicates that the environmental adjustment equipment responds according to the second protocol, if it is determined that the environmental adjustment equipment supports the second protocol, the air conditioner can be used as the target environmental adjustment equipment to be displayed on the display interface of the wire controller. In another case, when the first response information answered by the environment regulating device in the communication area indicates that the environment regulating device responds according to the first protocol, a device type inquiry request may be sent to the environment regulating device in the communication area to request the device type of the environment regulating device, and the query information sent by the environment regulating device may be received. Here, the query information may include the device type of the environment conditioning device. Further, after receiving the inquiry information of the environment adjustment device, the wire controller may combine the inquiry information of the target environment adjustment device to determine the target environment adjustment device to be displayed on the display interface of the wire controller. In this way, it is possible to accurately determine the target environment adjustment device adapted to the display interface of the wire controller through the query information fed back by the environment adjustment device after the protocol is delivered.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining a target environment regulating device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with what is shown in Fig. 2 , optionally, the wire controller determines the target environment regulating device whose display interface is to be displayed according to the query information of the target environment regulating device, including:

S21. The wire controller obtains a device type library, and the device type library stores environment regulating devices corresponding to different query information.

S22. The wire controller determines the environment adjustment device corresponding to the query information as the target environment adjustment device.

In this solution, the wire controller obtains the device type library, and the device type library stores the environment adjustment devices corresponding to different query information. Here, the query information may include one or more of device type, function mode, and motion state. Further, the wire controller determines the environment adjustment device corresponding to the query information as the target environment adjustment device. In an example, if the device type in the query information is a fresh air fan, then the fresh air fan is determined as the target environment regulating device. In another example, if the type of equipment in the query information is floor heating, the floor heating is determined as the target environment regulating equipment. In this way, it is possible to accurately determine the target environment adjustment device adapted to the display interface of the wire controller through the query information fed back by the environment adjustment device after the protocol is issued.

Optionally, when the second response information responded by the environment adjustment device in the communication area indicates that the environment adjustment device responds according to the second protocol, the wire controller determines that the target environment adjustment device to be displayed on its display interface is an air conditioner.

In this solution, if the second response information of the environmental adjustment equipment in the communication area indicates that the environmental adjustment equipment responds according to the second protocol, it is determined that the environmental adjustment equipment supports the second protocol, and then the wire controller can determine that the target environmental adjustment equipment to be displayed on its display interface is an air conditioner. In this way, the determination of the target environment regulating device can be realized more accurately.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of another method for determining a target environment regulating device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with what is shown in Fig. 3 , an embodiment of the present disclosure also provides another method for determining a target environment regulating device, including:

In the case that the wire controller does not receive the second response information from the environmental adjustment equipment in the communication area, the wire controller controls it again to issue the first protocol to the environmental adjustment equipment in the communication area; the wire controller obtains the third response information from the environmental adjustment equipment in the communication area, and the wire controller determines the environmental adjustment equipment determined according to the third response information as the target environmental adjustment equipment; wherein, the third response information is the response information after the environmental adjustment equipment in the communication area receives the first protocol again.

In this solution, if the wire controller does not receive the second response message from the environment regulation device in the communication area, if it is determined that the communication between the wire controller and the environment regulation device in the communication area has failed, then the wire controller can be controlled to send the first protocol to the environment regulation device in the communication area again, so as to try to establish the communication between the wire controller and the environment regulation device in the communication area again, so that when the wire controller receives the third response message from the environment regulation device in the communication area, the wire controller will determine the environment regulation device determined according to the third response information as the target environment regulation device . Wherein, the third response information is the response information after the environment regulating equipment in the communication area receives the first protocol again. The environmental adjustment equipment determined according to the third response information includes: the wire controller queries the equipment type in the third response information; if the equipment type is a fresh air fan, then determine that the environmental adjustment equipment is a fresh air fan; if the equipment type is an air conditioner, then determine that the environmental adjustment equipment is an air conditioner. In this way, in combination with the query information fed back by the environment adjustment device after the first protocol is delivered again, it is possible to accurately determine the target environment adjustment device for which the display interface of the wire controller is adapted.

Optionally, when the wire controller does not receive the third response message from the environmental adjustment equipment in the communication area, the wire controller controls it to display according to the display interface corresponding to the air conditioner, and continues to send communication requests with the environmental adjustment equipment in the communication area.

In this solution, if the wire controller does not receive the third response message from the environmental adjustment equipment in the communication area, if it is determined that the wire controller cannot establish communication with the environmental adjustment equipment in the communication area, it can be controlled to display on the display interface corresponding to the air conditioner, and continue to send communication requests with the environmental adjustment equipment in the communication area. With this solution, the user can control the air conditioner through the wire controller and at the same time continuously establish communication with other environmental regulation equipment in the communication area, so that different environment regulation devices can be adapted on the same wire controller through the adaptation and compatibility of the wire controller to the protocol, so that the user can display and control the interfaces of different environment regulation devices on the same wire controller.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a method for obtaining a communication result provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with what is shown in Fig. 4 , an embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a method for obtaining a communication result, including:

S41. When the wire controller receives the response information sent by the environment regulating device in the communication area, the wire controller verifies the response information to obtain a verification result.

S42. In the case that the verification result is a successful verification, the wire controller determines that the communication result is a successful communication;

S43. In the case that the verification result is a verification failure, the wire controller determines that the communication result is a communication failure.

In this solution, if the wire controller does not receive the response information sent by the environmental adjustment equipment in the communication area, it can directly determine that the communication result is a communication failure; if the wire controller receives the response information sent by the environment adjustment equipment in the communication area, it can control the wire controller to verify the response information; if the verification result is a successful verification, the wire controller determines that the communication result is a communication success; when the verification result is a verification failure, the wire controller determines that the communication result is a communication failure. With this solution, it is possible to more accurately determine the communication status between the wire controller and the environment regulating equipment in the communication area.
