Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantageous effects solved by the present invention more clearly apparent, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
In the embodiment of the invention, the electric appliance control method is suitable for a control terminal, and the control terminal comprises a fixed control assembly and a mobile control assembly. As is known, electrical appliances (electrical appliances) generally refer to all appliances using electricity, and mainly refer to electrical devices, apparatuses and components for connecting and disconnecting a circuit, and transforming circuit parameters to control, adjust, switch, detect and protect the circuit or the electric devices. As shown in fig. 1, a first embodiment of the electrical appliance communication control method of the present invention includes the steps of:
step 101, the mobile control assembly detects a first wireless signal from the fixed control assembly and a second wireless signal from the electrical appliance.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the wireless communication between the mobile control component and the fixed control component, and the wireless communication between the mobile control component and the electric appliance may be implemented by technologies such as bluetooth, ZigBee, WiFi, and the like, and therefore, the first wireless signal and/or the second wireless signal may be a wireless signal in the form of a bluetooth signal, a ZigBee signal, a WiFi signal, or the like. The detection of the mobile control component on the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal can be real-time monitoring detection, so that the strength of the first wireless signal and the strength of the second wireless signal are obtained in real time in the moving process of the mobile control component; or the detection can be carried out only when the detection is triggered by a user, for example, when the situation that the user gives a control instruction through the mobile control assembly is known, the strength of the first wireless signal and the strength of the second wireless signal are obtained in real time.
Step 102, the mobility control component determines whether the first wireless signal is stronger than the second wireless signal.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal may be in the same form or in different forms, for example, the first wireless signal is a WiFi signal, and the second wireless signal may be a bluetooth signal; alternatively, both the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal are ZigBee.
When the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal are wireless signals in the same form, the strength of the first wireless signal and the strength of the second wireless signal are directly compared; when the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal are different types of wireless signals, the strength levels of the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal can be divided according to the level thresholds of the two types of signals, and then whether the first wireless signal is stronger than the second wireless signal is judged according to the strength levels of the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal. For example, when the first wireless signal is a WiFi signal and the second wireless signal is a bluetooth signal, the mobility control module presets a level threshold of the WiFi signal, and can divide all WiFi signals into three levels of strong, medium, and weak according to the level threshold of the WiFi signal, and also presets a level threshold of the bluetooth signal in the mobility control module, and can divide the bluetooth signal into three levels of strong, medium, and weak according to the level threshold of the bluetooth signal, at this time, the first level of the first wireless signal is obtained by division according to the level threshold of the WiFi signal, the second level of the second wireless signal is obtained by division according to the level threshold of the bluetooth signal, and then it is determined whether the second level is higher than the first level, if the first level is higher than the second level, the first wireless signal is stronger than the second wireless signal, and vice versa. Of course, the latter determination method can also be applied to the case where the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal are wireless signals of the same format.
Step 103, if the first wireless signal is stronger than the second wireless signal, the mobile control component establishes wireless communication with the fixed control component.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that the first wireless signal is stronger than the second wireless signal, which indicates that the real-time communication state between the mobile control module and the fixed control module is better, the mobile control module establishes wireless communication with the fixed control module.
Wherein: when the second wireless signal is stronger than zero; the step of the mobile control assembly establishing wireless communication with the fixed control assembly if the first wireless signal is stronger than the second wireless signal further comprises the steps of:
and if the first wireless signal is stronger than the second wireless signal, the mobile control component shields the second wireless signal.
In the embodiment of the invention, because the second wireless signal is not equal to zero, in order to ensure the wireless communication effect of the mobile control assembly and the fixed control assembly, the second wireless signal is firstly shielded.
The mobile control assembly establishes wireless communication with the stationary control assembly.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the second wireless signal is shielded, or the mobile control assembly establishes wireless communication with the fixed control assembly while the second wireless signal is shielded. After the mobile control assembly establishes wireless communication with the fixed control assembly, the mobile control assembly and the fixed control assembly can communicate.
Step 104, the fixed control component establishes carrier communication with the electrical appliance.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the mobile control assembly establishes wireless communication with the fixed control assembly, or when the mobile control assembly establishes wireless communication with the fixed control assembly, the fixed control assembly also establishes carrier communication with the electric appliance, and carries out interactive communication with the electric appliance through a power line carrier. At the moment, a user can issue a control instruction through the mobile control assembly, the mobile control assembly sends the control instruction to the fixed control assembly through wireless communication, the fixed control assembly sends the control instruction to the electric appliance through carrier communication, and the electric appliance executes the control instruction; the electric appliance sends the running state and/or the execution condition of the control instruction to the fixed control assembly, the fixed control assembly sends the running state and/or the execution condition of the control instruction to the mobile control assembly, and the mobile control assembly acquires corresponding information and can display information such as the running state of the electric appliance, the execution condition of the control instruction by the electric appliance, the communication state of the control terminal and the electric appliance and the like on a screen of the mobile control assembly.
Step 105, if the first wireless signal is not stronger than the second wireless signal, the mobile control component shields the first wireless signal.
In the embodiment of the present invention, after step 102, when it is determined that the first wireless signal is not stronger than the second wireless signal, a more direct signal transmission path is selected, and at this time, the mobile control component shields the first wireless signal from the fixed control component.
Step 106, the mobile control component establishes wireless communication with the appliance.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the mobile control assembly shields the first wireless signal or at the same time when the mobile control assembly shields the first wireless signal, the mobile control assembly establishes wireless communication with the electric appliance and then controls the operation of the electric appliance through the wireless communication with the electric appliance. For example, a user can issue a control instruction through the mobile control assembly, the mobile control assembly sends the control instruction to the electric appliance through wireless communication, and the electric appliance executes the control instruction; the electric appliance sends the running state and/or the execution condition of the control instruction to the mobile control assembly, the mobile control assembly acquires corresponding information, and the information such as the running state of the electric appliance, the execution condition of the electric appliance on the control instruction, the communication state of the control terminal and the electric appliance and the like can be displayed on a screen of the mobile control assembly.
The present embodiment adopts a technical solution of a control terminal having two separable parts, namely a fixed control component and a mobile control component, wherein the mobile control component detects a first wireless signal from the fixed control component and a second wireless signal from the electric appliance; the mobile control component judges whether the first wireless signal is stronger than the second wireless signal; if the first wireless signal is stronger than the second wireless signal, the mobile control assembly establishes wireless communication with the fixed control assembly; the fixed control component establishes carrier communication with the electrical appliance; if the first wireless signal is not stronger than the second wireless signal, the mobile control component shields the first wireless signal; the mobile control assembly establishes wireless communication with the appliance. Therefore, the purpose of controlling the electric appliance in a wireless or wireless and power carrier communication mode can be intelligently selected, on one hand, remote control can be realized as long as the electric appliance is provided with one of a wireless device or a power carrier device, on the other hand, a more appropriate communication path can be found through comparison of wireless signals, and on the other hand, the mobile control assembly is mobile and portable and is more convenient for users to use, so that the requirement on convenience of the users is greatly met.
As shown in fig. 2, in the second embodiment of the electrical appliance communication control method of the present invention, the control terminal is installed in a bathroom so that a user can control the electrical appliances such as the gas water heater in the bathroom.
In the prior art, taking the use of a gas water heater as an example, because the gas water heater needs to be installed outside a bathroom, a user needs to set parameters in advance by adjusting related function keys or moving an APP before using the gas water heater, and then the gas water heater can enter the bathroom to start a cooling action; for other products in a bathroom, when a control mode of a wire control box is commonly adopted, a user can adjust the control mode in real time, but the line needs to be embedded, and the control mode is very inconvenient. On the other hand, the power line carrier communication technology utilizes a mains supply line to transmit information, and the application of the power line carrier communication technology needs to arrange a power carrier device in an electric appliance and arrange a corresponding power carrier module in a control terminal so as to achieve the purposes of transmitting electric waves carrying signals by using a power line and finally realizing remote control.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the control terminal is used as a control center terminal of a household appliance, and can control a plurality of appliances, and the control center terminal includes a fixed control component 31 and a mobile control component 32, both the fixed control component 31 and the mobile control component 32 have an interaction device for receiving a control instruction of a user, and a communication protocol and a communication mechanism are preset in the fixed control component 31 and the mobile control component 32, so that the fixed control component 31 and the mobile control component 32 can complete wireless communication. When the user uses the fixed control component 31 in the bathroom to control the household appliances outside the bathroom, the control instruction given by the user is sent to the appliances through the power carrier; when the user uses the mobile control assembly 32 to control the household appliance, the control instruction can be sent to the appliance in a wireless communication mode, or in a wireless communication mode and a power carrier mode, and the automatically established communication channel is an optimal path, such as: when the mobile control component 2 selects to establish a wireless communication mode with the electric appliance, data transmission is not carried out between the mobile control component 2 and the fixed control component 1, a control instruction of a user is directly transmitted to the electric appliance in a wireless communication mode, and a controller of the electric appliance receives the control instruction in a serial port communication mode and executes the control instruction.
The user can fixedly install the mobile control component 2 in the box body of the fixed control component 1, and can take out the mobile control component to be carried with the user or placed at any position, so that the target of short-distance and long-distance omnibearing intelligent control in real-time control and remote wireless control is achieved, and the mobile control component is not limited by the installation position of a product and various limits which can be used after control parameters are set in advance. In addition, since not all the electric appliances are equipped with the power carrier device, and the wireless device is also the same, as long as one of the power carrier device or the wireless device is arranged in the electric appliance, the remote control can be carried out through the control terminal of the invention.
The portable mobile control assembly selects the optimal path for controlling the electric appliances, and realizes real-time control and remote wireless control, so that a near-distance real-time control and remote wireless control omnibearing intelligent control mode is really experienced, and meanwhile, the control terminal can be integrated to control a plurality of electric appliances to be used as a central control terminal, so that the problems of asynchronous use and adjustment and various lines are solved.
The above description has described in detail an embodiment of the appliance communication control method of the present invention. The apparatus (i.e., control terminal) corresponding to the above method is further described below.

At the moment, a user can issue a control instruction through the mobile control assembly, the mobile control assembly sends the control instruction to the fixed control assembly through wireless communication, the fixed control assembly sends the control instruction to the electric appliance through carrier communication, and the electric appliance executes the control instruction; the electric appliance sends the running state and/or the execution condition of the control instruction to the fixed control assembly, the fixed control assembly sends the running state and/or the execution condition of the control instruction to the mobile control assembly, and the mobile control assembly acquires corresponding information and can display information such as the running state of the electric appliance, the execution condition of the control instruction by the electric appliance, the communication state of the control terminal and the electric appliance and the like on a screen of the mobile control assembly.
