Embodiment

The exemplary embodiment of the disclosure is more fully described below with reference to accompanying drawings.Although the disclosure is shown in accompanying drawing Exemplary embodiment, it being understood, however, that may be realized in various forms the disclosure without should be by embodiments set forth here Limited.On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to facilitate a more thoroughly understanding of the present invention, and can be by the scope of the present disclosure Completely it is communicated to those skilled in the art.

First the technical term that may relate in the application is briefly described below.

Communication protocol, is a kind of agreement for being different from natural language form and being communicated, including disappearing of defining of communicating pair Cease form (including message encoding format, such as 00001- represent closing television), signaling process, message channel definition (such as TCP (Transmission Control Protocol, transmission control protocol) port numbers etc.), but these contents are all to set in advance Fixed.

Interface message is equal to communication protocol sometimes, can be replaced, but both are still distinguishing, for example, Interface message can also include hardware electric interfaces, and this is non negotiable part, and communication protocol then more embodies negotiable property, Therefore, typically hardware electric interfaces information is not included in communication protocol.Wherein, interface message includes interface type, interface is determined Justice and interface specification book etc..

Interface type (ether interface, USB (Universal Serial Bus, USB) interface etc.), typically Defined including hardware electric interfaces, and based on the message definition on the hardware interface, signaling process, equipment behavior etc..For Interface set in advance, typically supported by corresponding communication protocol, such as Ethernet interface, there is corresponding Ethernet protocol.

The definition of interface：Including hardware interface and protocol interface, including above-mentioned message definition, signaling process, equipment behavior Deng.Message definition can include the digital encoding format of message.

Interface specification book (can also be called protocol specification book)：Including contents such as message definition, signaling process, equipment behaviors, It can be presented with arbitrary forms such as natural language form, form, charts.

Signaling process refers to the message sequence (procedure) that both sides exchange.

Digital encoding format refers to the mode for representing information digitalization, belongs to the content that can arrange in agreement.Than Such as, " the opening control instruction " of a TV can be represented with 4bit binary system, such as b0001, and this 4bit Binary data b0001 by the way of certain message sink coding or channel coding are encoded by can just be called digital coding Form, including compression.Fig. 1 schematically show according to one kind of embodiment of the present invention based on natural language realize equipment it Between the method 10 that communicates, including：

Step 100：Request equipment obtains at least one communication protocols that can be supported with target device based on natural language Discuss related target information；

Step 110：All or part of information of the request equipment in the target information is set to the target Preparation send message.

In the embodiment of the present invention described natural language actually refer to be for recipient non-preset content nature Language, rather than the natural language form of immobilized substance.Wherein, the natural language of non-default content mean recipient need into Row semantic analysis；And the natural language of preset content, recipient directly carry out string matching.For example, non-default interior In the case of the natural language of appearance, " good heat today ", either " today, temperature was good high " or " fast solarization today is in the dust ", although interior Hold different, but identical when implication is substantial, can with any expression way.In another example in non-default content In the case of natural language, " Current Temperatures " and " present temperature ", although expression-form is different, semanteme is identical, is adopted Also can with any one statement.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the expression way of natural language has a variety of, for example, it may be speech form, or also may be used To be textual form (such as by IP (Internet Protocol, procotol) Web broadcast), speech form and textual form Can be by the way of ultrasonic wave.Wherein, the text that text is specifically as follows picture character or Quick Response Code form shows Word, speech form can be music, of course, it is also possible to there is other forms, be not specifically limited herein.

Certainly, request equipment can also define specification by FTP download protocols.

In the embodiment of the present invention, alternatively, request equipment obtains what can be supported with target device based on natural language The related target information of at least one communication protocol, including：

It is described request equipment be based on natural language to target device send request message, the request message be used for ask with The target information for the communication protocol correlation that the target device can be supported；

The request equipment receives the response message that the target device returns, and is carried and the mesh in the response message The target information at least one communication protocol correlation that marking device can be supported.

That is natural language is used when asking equipment to send request message to target device, still, target is set The standby form that response message is returned to request equipment is not specifically limited, and can use the form of natural language, or can also The agreement that request equipment is specified, for example, carrying instruction protocol-identifier in the request message；

Now, alternatively, the request equipment receives the response message that the target device returns, including：

The request equipment receives the response message that the target device returns according to the instruction protocol-identifier.

Certainly, target device returns to response message to request equipment can also use other forms, not do specific limit herein It is fixed.

Previously described is that request equipment sends message to target device and uses natural language, but target device is to request The form that equipment sends message is not specifically limited, and in the embodiment of the present invention or target device is sent to request equipment Message uses natural language, but asks equipment to send the form of message to target device and be not specifically limited.

Therefore, equipment is asked to obtain at least one communication protocol phase that can be supported with target device based on natural language The target information of pass, including：

The request equipment sends request message to target device, and the request message is used to ask and the target device The target information for the communication protocol correlation that can be supported；

The request equipment receives the response message that the target device is returned based on natural language, in the response message Carry the target information related at least one communication protocol that the target device can be supported.

In the embodiment of the present invention, equipment is asked to have to the mode of target device transmission request message a variety of, it is alternatively possible to In the following way：

The request equipment receives the command information that user sends；

The request equipment obtains the semantic analysis result of the command information；

The request equipment determines request message corresponding with the semantic analysis result, and the request message is sent To the target device.

Wherein, when the request equipment obtains the semantic analysis result of the command information, command information can be carried out Semantic analysis, obtain semantic analysis result；It is of course also possible to pass through cloud device or server for request device target equipment After carrying out semantic analysis, then semantic analysis result is returned to and asks device target equipment, be not specifically limited herein.

Previously described is the semantic analysis result for asking equipment to obtain command information, certainly, to obtain other and be based on certainly The method class of semantic analysis result of the method for the semantic analysis result of the message of right linguistic form with obtaining the command information Seemingly, no longer it is described in detail herein.

In the embodiment of the present invention, request message can be for directly request and communication protocol relevant information message, than Such as：First application program is sent to the second application program in the form of natural language to disappear for inquiring with communication protocol relevant information Breath, the second application program are replied and communication protocol relevant information then to the first application program.

Or request message can also be the message for indirect or implicit request and communication protocol relevant information, as long as Trigger the second application program and the message for including target information is returned to the first application program, such as：First application program with Natural language form sends username and password (implicit mode) to the second application program, and the second application program should then to first Replied and communication protocol relevant information (implicit response) with program.

Previously described is the direct mode of request message, or implicit, indirect mode, and similarly, response also may be used To be response or implicit, the indirect response directly against the clear and definite information request of the first application program.Herein No longer it is described in detail.

Because the mode that request equipment sends request message to target device can be using natural language, can not also adopt With natural language, therefore, above-mentioned specific implementation can both be applicable request equipment and be sent using natural language to target device The mode of request message, request equipment can also be applied by the way of other modes send request message to target device, This is not specifically limited.

Aforesaid way can specifically use following form to realize：

The request equipment receives the command information that user sends, and the command information is converted into format data；

The format data is normalized to obtain the semantic analysis result of the command information；

And request message corresponding with the semantic analysis result is determined, and the request message is sent to the target Equipment.

For example, user against remote control has said one, " outside is good cold, and I has just get home within 20 minutes again, opens in advance empty Adjust ", remote control will carry out semantic analysis to the words, show that user thinks to open air-conditioning in advance, and heat, then, remote control root The semantic results obtained according to parsing send request message corresponding with the semantic results, such as " open air-conditioning heating, setting temperature is What kind of 30 DEG C of data format is ", wherein, request message can be sent in the form of natural language.

In the embodiment of the present invention, alternatively, the target information includes protocol-identifier and/or protocol definition information, certainly, Other information can also be included, be not specifically limited herein.

In the embodiment of the present invention, alternatively, the protocol definition information includes message coffret and defines information, message At least one of format information and signaling process information, it is, of course, also possible to including other information, it is not specifically limited herein. Data transmission interface include physical layer electrical characteristic definition (such as transmission voltage swing, signal power size, bus type, when Clock frequency etc.), physical layer data reads sequential (such as reading and writing data sequential, dutycycle regulation etc.), transport layer protocol (for example is believed Road coding, transfer check mechanism, retransmission mechanism etc.), network layer transport protocol (such as IP address, UDP (User DatagramProtocol, UDP) or TCP port number etc.).

Signaling process is described by taking the signaling process for obtaining temperature data as an example below：

Step 1：When asking equipment to need to obtain temperature, temp_req message is sent to target device；

Step 2：Target device sends temp_data message to request equipment.

If asking equipment to be not received by temp_data message in 1s, request equipment is sent to target device again Temp_req message.

It is above-mentioned simply to be illustrated by taking the signaling process for obtaining temperature data as an example, it is not limited to this.

In the embodiment of the present invention, alternatively, the format information of the message includes digital encoding format；

Wherein, the digital encoding format includes field (filed), the length for the data that the target device can receive (length), at least one of span (range), data type (type).Wherein, the format information of message can be with Including compressed format.

Digital encoding format can be the form of form, the example as shown in table 1,2.

The digital encoding format of table 1

Field	Type	Length	Span	Side information
					Temperature data (temp_data)	Integer	8 bits	- 40 to+60	Carried in a manner of IP/UDP (port=10001)

The digital encoding format of table 2

Field	Type	Length	Span	Side information
					Temperature request (temp_req)	Integer	1 bit	0,1	Carried in a manner of IP/UDP (port=10001)

In table 2,0 represents no longer to need temperature data in span item；1 represents to need to receive temperature data.

Wherein, alternatively, form can be graphic form, or can also be the document of rich text form, not do herein It is specific to limit.

In the embodiment of the present invention, alternatively, the protocol-identifier can be characterized with characterization information；

Wherein, the characterization information includes the ID (Identification, mark) of the target device, the target is set At least one of production firm's information of standby type, the software and hardware version number of the target device and the target device.

Now, all or part of information of the request equipment in the target information is sent out to the target device Message is sent, including：

Agreement of the request equipment according to corresponding to the characterization information determines the characterization information；

Message is sent to the target device using the agreement of determination.

In the embodiment of the present invention, alternatively, the request equipment determines the characterization information institute according to the characterization information Corresponding agreement, including：

The request equipment passes through protocol information corresponding to the acquisition of the 3rd equipment；

For example, request equipment obtains its own device id fed back by server in a manner of natural language, equipment is asked Using the ID as keyword, download to obtain the protocol definition of target device support by internet search engine.In a word, agreement is obtained The mode of definition is unlimited.A code segment is write in equipment is asked, as spatial term module, when itself and target device When being communicated, then ask equipment firstly generate on inquire on target device interface define with data transmission format from The relevant information of right language (such as voice or text), and send；, can on the information of its interface type/data transmission format To be to inquire the type of target device, software and hardware version number, production firm etc. or to direct access inquiry interface definition/say Bright book, is not specifically limited herein.

In actual applications, the digital encoding format that can be supported that target device is fed back and request equipment institute energy The possible disunity of digital encoding format enough supported, now, can hold consultation therebetween, therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, Alternatively, all or part of information of the request equipment in the target information is sent to the target device disappears Breath, including：

The request equipment judges at least one agreement that the target device supported and described asks equipment to be supported At least one agreement whether match；

If the request equipment judges at least one agreement that the target device supported and described asks equipment institute At least one agreement of support matches, and is directly sent and disappeared to the target device using agreement corresponding to the target information Breath；

Otherwise, the request equipment is returned at least one that can be supported with target device based on natural language acquisition and led to The step of believing protocol-dependent target information.

For example, after air-conditioning have sent the digital encoding format that it is supported to remote control, if remote control do not support it is this Digital encoding format, then air-conditioning and remote control can continue to hold consultation in a manner of natural language between the two, specifically can be with Message as " otherwise 1111 in rear 4 bits of first character section represent and heated " is sent to sky to air-conditioning for remote control Adjust, after air-conditioning receives this message, adjust its digital encoding format by parsing and find that this new numeral can be applied to compile Code mode, then it can be to message as remote control feedback " good ", so as to which the two has just consulted a kind of new digital coding side Formula, communicated using the digital encoding scheme for consulting to obtain.

It should be noted that if request equipment returns at least one communication protocols that obtains and can be supported with target device After the step of discussing related target information, if the request equipment judges at least one association that the target device is supported If at least one agreement that the request equipment is supported of negotiating peace does not match that, it can be further continued for obtaining, untill matching, It is not specifically limited herein.

Method 10 is illustrated below.

For example, user is said against remote control " opening air conditioner refrigerating, temperature is 26 DEG C ", remote control to the words it Afterwards, sent to air-conditioning and " open air conditioner refrigerating, what kind of the data format for setting temperature to be 26 DEG C is", air-conditioning is received with voice Or after this message of textual form expression, the digital encoding format that oneself is supported is sent to remote control with natural language again Device, such as " digital encoding format that I is supported is such, and length is two bytes totally 16 bit, preceding the 4 of first character section Individual bit represents to open (1111)/closing (0000), rear 4 bits expression heating (0000)/refrigeration (1111), second byte Temperature is represented with binary form, for example 26 DEG C are 00011010, and the above is with IP/UDP's (port=10001) Mode carries ".After the remote control message can by it is this it is digitally coded in a manner of to air-conditioning be transmitted message, such as The message of " 111111110001010 " is sent, the message is used to represent to open air conditioner refrigerating, and temperature setting is 26 DEG C.

In the embodiment of the present invention, target device possibly can not understand that request equipment is sent after request message is received Request message, now, ask equipment and target device that communications can be repeated, up to target device can parse request The request message that equipment is sent, therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, after request equipment sends request message to target device, connect Before receiving the response message, methods described also includes：

If the target device can not understand the request message, the request equipment continues to carry out ditch with target device It is logical, until the target device can parse the request message.Wherein, in specific implementation process, such as lower section can be used Formula：

If the target device can not understand the request message, the request equipment continues to send to the target device Request message, until the target device is it will be appreciated that the request message.

Previously described is the request message that target device can not understand request equipment, it is of course also possible to be set in the presence of request The standby response message that can not be understood target device and send, now, request equipment can also be linked up repeatedly with target device, until please Equipment is asked to parse response message, therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the request equipment receives the target device and returned Response message after, to the target device send message before, further, methods described also includes：

If the request equipment can not understand the response message, the request equipment continues to carry out with the target device Link up, until request equipment can parse the response message of target device transmission.In specific implementation process, it can use such as Under type：

If the request equipment can not understand the response message, the request equipment continues to the target device hair The response message sent, until the request equipment is it will be appreciated that the response message.

In this scenario, the target information related to communication protocol is obtained using natural language, due to natural language Versatility is high, therefore, even if request equipment does not prestore the target letter related to the communication protocol that target device is supported Breath, can also obtain the target information related to the communication protocol that target device is supported by natural language, subsequently can be with Communicated using obtained target information with target device, therefore, can solve not prestore correlation in the prior art and set The defects of standby agreement can not just be communicated with the kind equipment, expand the scope of application scenarios.

Further, due to digital encoding format transmission specified in agreement after target information is obtained, can be used to disappear Breath, and use the efficiency of digital encoding format transmission data higher, therefore, the method that the embodiment of the present invention proposes can also improve Efficiency of transmission.

Fig. 2A is schematically shown to be realized between equipment according to the another kind of embodiment of the present invention based on natural language The method 20A or 20B of communication, including：

Method 20A is：

Step 200A：Target device receives the request message that request equipment is sent based on natural language, the request message For asking the target information related to the communication protocol that the target device can be supported；

Step 210A：Response message is sent to the request equipment, is carried and the target device in the response message The target information at least one communication protocol correlation that can be supported.
