Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the invention, as detailed in the appended claims.

Before explaining the embodiments of the present disclosure in detail, an application scenario of the embodiments of the present disclosure is introduced:

currently, when an intelligent device is controlled through a terminal, a user usually clicks a device group icon of the intelligent device in the terminal and enters a detailed operation interface of the intelligent device, and then the intelligent device is remotely controlled through the detailed operation interface. And if a plurality of intelligent devices are controlled through the terminal, detailed operation interfaces of the plurality of intelligent devices need to be repeatedly accessed. At present, more intelligent device groups are formed by integrating a plurality of intelligent devices, for example, an intelligent wall switch, and since the intelligent wall switch includes two switches, the two switches can be referred to as two intelligent devices, and thus, the intelligent wall switch can be referred to as an intelligent device group. Because the intelligent wall switch comprises two switches, the intelligent equipment can not be controlled to be turned on or turned off through the equipment icon like other intelligent equipment, when the intelligent wall switch is controlled through a terminal, a user is required to click the icon of the intelligent wall switch in the terminal to enter a detailed operation interface of the intelligent wall switch, the detailed operation interface comprises two switch options corresponding to the two switches of the intelligent wall switch, when the user clicks one of the switch options, the switch corresponding to the switch option can be controlled to be turned on or turned off, when the user clicks the other switch option, the switch corresponding to the other switch option can be controlled to be turned on or turned off, and the intelligent wall switch can be controlled through the terminal.

If the next intelligent wall switch is controlled continuously after the control of the intelligent wall switch is finished, the terminal is required to quit the detailed operation interface of the intelligent wall switch, then the icon of the next intelligent wall switch is clicked and the detailed operation interface of the next intelligent wall switch is entered, the detailed operation interface comprises two switch options corresponding to the two switches of the next intelligent wall switch, the method is similar to the method for controlling the intelligent wall switch, the two switch options are used for respectively controlling the corresponding switches to be turned on or turned off, and the next intelligent wall switch is controlled through the terminal.

It can be seen that, when the intelligent device group is controlled through the terminal, the user needs to click the device group icon of the intelligent device group in the terminal to enter the detailed operation interface of the intelligent device group to control the intelligent device group, and the operation cost is high. Moreover, when a plurality of intelligent device groups are controlled through a terminal, a user is required to click an icon of one of the intelligent device groups and enter a detailed operation interface for control, the user exits the detailed operation interface after the control is finished, then continues to click an icon of the next intelligent device group and enter the detailed operation interface of the next intelligent device group for control, exits the detailed operation interface after the control is finished, and further continues to control another intelligent device group, and so on.

Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an intelligent device, which can directly control an intelligent device group through an icon of the intelligent device group, thereby reducing operation cost, and when controlling a plurality of intelligent device groups, a detailed operation interface does not need to be repeatedly accessed, thereby simplifying operation process.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of a smart device, which is applied to a terminal, according to an exemplary embodiment, and includes the following steps, as shown in fig. 1.

In step 101, a device group icon is displayed, where the device group icon includes at least two operation regions, and the at least two operation regions correspond to at least two smart devices one to one.

In step 102, when a touch operation directed to a target operation area is detected, the smart device corresponding to the target operation area is controlled to execute an instruction corresponding to the touch operation, where the target operation area is any one of the at least two operation areas.

Optionally, the device group icon is an icon of an intelligent wall switch, and the intelligent wall switch includes at least two switches, and the at least two switches are in one-to-one correspondence with the at least two operation areas.

Optionally, the device group icon is an icon of an intelligent socket, and the intelligent socket includes at least two interface switches, and the at least two interface switches are in one-to-one correspondence with the at least two operation regions.

Optionally, after controlling the intelligent device corresponding to the target operation area to execute the instruction corresponding to the touch operation, the method further includes:

Optionally, a device group icon is displayed, comprising:

displaying the device group icon in a designated area of the desktop;

when detecting the touch operation aiming at the target operation area, controlling the intelligent device corresponding to the target operation area to execute the instruction corresponding to the touch operation, including:

when the touch operation aiming at the target operation area is detected in the designated area of the desktop, the intelligent equipment corresponding to the target operation area is controlled to execute the instruction corresponding to the touch operation.

Optionally, the designated area of the desktop is used for intensively displaying the icons of the smart devices bound to the smart home application, and the designated area of the desktop is a negative screen of the desktop.

All the above optional technical solutions can be combined arbitrarily to form optional embodiments of the present disclosure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not described in detail again.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of an intelligent device according to an exemplary embodiment, and the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 1. The method is applied to a terminal, and as shown in fig. 2, the method comprises the following steps.

In step 201, a device group icon is displayed, where the device group icon includes at least two operation areas, and the at least two operation areas correspond to at least two smart devices one to one.

At present, when the intelligent device group is controlled through a terminal, the intelligent device group can be controlled only after the icon of the intelligent device group is clicked and a detailed operation interface is entered, that is, the icon of the intelligent device group is only used for entering the detailed operation interface. However, the method for controlling the smart device group through the detailed operation interface has high operation cost, so the embodiment of the disclosure displays the device group icon corresponding to the smart device group on the terminal, and divides the device group icon into at least two operation areas, and the at least two operation areas correspond to at least two smart devices included in the smart device group one by one, so that the operation can be directly performed in the operation area of the device group icon.

The intelligent device group may include at least two intelligent devices of the same type, or at least two intelligent devices of different types.

In case the group of smart devices comprises at least two smart devices of the same type, the group of smart devices may be a smart wall switch or a smart socket. When the intelligent equipment group is an intelligent wall switch, the equipment group icon is an icon of the intelligent wall switch, the intelligent wall switch comprises at least two switches, and the at least two switches are in one-to-one correspondence with the at least two operation areas. When the intelligent equipment group is an intelligent socket, the equipment group icon is the icon of the intelligent socket, the intelligent socket comprises at least two interface switches, and the at least two interface switches are in one-to-one correspondence with the at least two operation areas. The smart socket may be provided with at least one jack and at least one USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface, an interface switch included in the smart socket may control the opening and closing of the jack and the USB interface, and the jack and the USB interface are used to supply power to other smart devices, where the jack may be a two-hole jack and a three-hole jack.

In the case that the smart device group includes at least two different types of smart devices, the smart device group may be a combination of different types of smart devices, for example, a combination of a smart electric lamp and a smart television, a combination of a smart air purifier and a smart sweeper. When the intelligent equipment group is the combination of the intelligent electric lamp and the intelligent television, the equipment group icon of the intelligent equipment group is the combined icon of the intelligent electric lamp and the intelligent television, and the intelligent electric lamp and the intelligent television are respectively in one-to-one correspondence with at least two operation areas of the combined icon. Similarly, when the intelligent equipment group is the combination of the intelligent air purifier and the intelligent sweeper, the equipment group icon of the intelligent equipment group is the combined icon of the intelligent air purifier and the intelligent sweeper, and the intelligent air purifier and the intelligent sweeper respectively correspond to at least two operation areas of the combined icon one to one.

In a possible embodiment, the areas of the device group icons may be equally divided to obtain at least two areas with the same size, so as to determine the at least two areas with the same size as at least two operation areas, where the at least two operation areas correspond to at least two smart devices one to one. Preferably, the device group icon may be divided vertically and equally to obtain at least two areas with the same size and left-right direction. Of course, the device group icons may be divided in other manners, such as even division horizontally, even division obliquely, or unequal division in any direction, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

It should be noted that, when the device group icon is vertically and equally divided, at least two smart devices included in the smart device group may sequentially correspond to at least two operation areas included in the device group icon one by one. For example, the smart wall switch includes two switches, and the icon of the smart wall switch includes two vertical equally divided operation regions, then the switch on the left side in the smart wall switch may correspond to the operation region on the left side in the icon of the smart wall switch, and the switch on the right side in the smart wall switch may correspond to the operation region on the right side in the icon of the smart wall switch. For another example, if the smart socket includes two interface switches and the icon of the smart socket includes two vertical equally-divided operating regions, the interface switch on the left in the smart socket may correspond to the operating region on the left in the icon of the smart socket and the switch on the right in the smart socket may correspond to the operating region on the right in the icon of the smart socket.

In another possible embodiment, a partial area may be added to the device group icon, at least two operation areas corresponding to at least two smart devices one to one are set in the added area, and the smart devices corresponding to the at least two operation areas are labeled. The at least two operation regions may be arranged in an up-down order, or in a left-right order, or in other ways, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

It should be noted that at least two operation options may be set in the area where the device group icon is added, so as to use the at least two operation options as the at least two operation areas included in the device group icon, and label the smart devices corresponding to the at least two operation options beside the at least two operation options. For example, the smart wall switch includes two switches, two operation options are set in an area added to an icon of the smart wall switch, and switches corresponding to the at least two operation options are marked beside the two operation options. For another example, the smart socket includes two interface switches, two operation options are set in an area added to an icon of the smart socket, and the interface switches corresponding to the at least two operation options are marked beside the two operation options.

In addition, according to different requirements of users, the device group icon may be displayed in an intelligent home application installed in the terminal, or may be displayed in a desktop of the terminal, and the following description is given by two possible implementation manners:

in a first possible implementation manner, the device group icon is displayed in a device control interface of the smart home application.

It should be noted that a device information editing option may be set in a device control interface of the smart home application, where the device information editing option is used to display the device information editing interface, that is, when the user clicks the device information editing option, the terminal may display the device information editing interface.

In a second possible implementation, the device group icon is displayed in a designated area of the desktop.

The desktop is used for displaying icons of the intelligent devices bound to the intelligent home application in a centralized mode, and as an optimal scheme, the desktop is provided with a negative screen. Since the desktop may include other interfaces besides the interface of minus one screen, and a new interface may be added, in a possible implementation manner, the embodiment of the disclosure may further add a new interface on the desktop to use the added interface as a designated area of the desktop. The smart home application is an application capable of controlling the smart device group.

It should be noted that, a device information editing option may also be set in the designated area of the desktop, where the device information editing option is used to display a device information editing interface, that is, when the user clicks the device information editing option, the terminal may display the device information editing interface.

In addition, an add device option may be set in the designated area of the desktop, where the add device option is used to add an icon of a new smart device or smart device group in the designated area of the desktop, that is, the user manually adds an icon of a smart device or smart device group that may be displayed in the designated area of the desktop in the desktop. In a possible implementation manner, when the user clicks the add-device option, the terminal may display an icon of the smart device or the smart device group, which is not displayed in the designated area of the desktop and is bound to the smart home application. In this way, the user can select the icon which needs to be added to the designated area of the desktop from the displayed icons, and then the terminal adds the selected icon of the intelligent device or the intelligent device group to the designated area of the desktop.

As shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is an exemplary diagram showing an icon of the intelligent wall switch in a negative screen of a desktop, wherein the intelligent wall switch includes two switches, the icon of the intelligent wall switch includes two vertical equally-divided operation areas, the operation area on the left side corresponds to the switch on the left side in the intelligent wall switch, and the operation area on the right side corresponds to the switch on the right side in the intelligent wall switch. In addition, the negative screen also comprises a device information editing option and an adding device option.

As shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is another exemplary diagram for displaying an icon of an intelligent wall switch in a negative screen of a desktop, where the intelligent wall switch includes two switches, two operation options arranged up and down are set in an area where the icon of the intelligent wall switch is added, an upper operation option corresponds to a left switch in the intelligent wall switch, a lower operation option corresponds to a right switch in the intelligent wall switch, a corresponding left switch is marked beside the upper operation option, and a corresponding right switch is marked beside the lower operation option. In addition, the negative screen also comprises a device information editing option and an adding device option.

In addition, in general, the device group icon is displayed in the device control interface of the smart home application, and in order to improve convenience of a user in controlling the smart device or the smart device group, the terminal may display the device group icon in the smart home application in a designated area of the desktop.

It should be noted that before the terminal displays the device group icon in the smart home application in the designated area of the desktop, it may be detected whether the smart home application has the right to write data into the desktop, and when it is determined that the smart home application has the right to write data into the desktop, the device group icon is displayed in the designated area of the desktop.

It should be further noted that whether the smart home application installed on the terminal has the authority to write data into the desktop or not may be determined, when it is determined that the smart home application has the authority to write data into the desktop, an icon display instruction is sent to the desktop of the terminal, where the icon display instruction is used to instruct the device group icon to be displayed in the designated area of the desktop, and when the desktop receives the icon display instruction, the device group icon may be displayed in the designated area of the desktop.

In step 202, when a touch operation directed to a target operation area is detected, the smart device corresponding to the target operation area is controlled to execute an instruction corresponding to the touch operation, where the target operation area is any one of the at least two operation areas.

Since the device group icon includes at least two operation regions, the terminal may detect a touch operation for a target operation region, which is any one of the at least two operation regions. And the at least two operation areas correspond to the at least two intelligent devices one to one, so that when the touch operation aiming at the target operation area is detected, the intelligent device corresponding to the target operation area can be controlled to execute the instruction corresponding to the touch operation.

In one possible embodiment, the at least two operation regions included in the device group icon may be used to control the corresponding at least two smart devices, and when the at least two corresponding smart devices are controlled by the at least two operation regions, the user may touch any one of the at least two operation regions, so that the terminal may detect a touch operation for any one operation region, and then control the smart device corresponding to any one operation region to execute an instruction corresponding to the touch operation.

It should be noted that, the at least two operation regions may control the on and off of the at least two smart devices, and may also control other functions of the at least two smart devices. For example, when the intelligent devices included in the intelligent device group are an intelligent electric lamp and an intelligent television, the intelligent electric lamp can be controlled to be turned on or turned off through an operation area corresponding to the intelligent electric lamp, and the adjustment of the brightness of the intelligent electric lamp can also be controlled; in addition, the on and off of the intelligent television can be controlled through the corresponding operation area of the intelligent television, and the switching of the channel of the intelligent television can also be controlled.

It should be further noted that the touch operation on the target operation area may be a single-click operation, a double-click operation, a long-press operation, an up-down sliding operation, a left-right sliding operation, and the like, which is not limited in this disclosure. For example, when the smart devices included in the smart device group are a smart lamp and a smart television, the smart lamp can be controlled to be turned on or turned off through a single-click operation of an operation area corresponding to the smart lamp, and the adjustment of the brightness of the smart lamp can be controlled through a vertical sliding operation of the operation area corresponding to the smart lamp.

In addition, since the terminal may display the device group icon on the desktop or may display the device group icon in the smart home application, the terminal may detect a touch operation directed to the target operation area in the desktop, and then control the smart device corresponding to the target operation area to execute an instruction corresponding to the touch operation, and may also detect a touch operation directed to the target operation area in the smart home application, and then control the smart device corresponding to the target operation area to execute an instruction corresponding to the touch operation, which is described below by two possible implementation manners:

in a first possible implementation manner, when the terminal detects a touch operation for a target operation area in a designated area of a desktop, the intelligent device corresponding to the target operation area is controlled to execute an instruction corresponding to the touch operation.

When the terminal detects a touch operation aiming at a target operation area in a designated area of the desktop, the terminal can send a control message to the intelligent home server through an interface between the desktop and the intelligent home server, wherein the control message is used for instructing the intelligent home server to control the intelligent equipment corresponding to the target operation area to execute an instruction corresponding to the touch operation. When the smart home server receives the control message, an instruction corresponding to the touch operation may be sent to the smart device corresponding to the target operation area, so that the smart device executes the instruction corresponding to the touch operation. The specified area of the desktop has already been described in detail in step 201, and is not described herein again.

In a second possible implementation manner, when the terminal detects a touch operation for a target operation area in an equipment control interface of the smart home application, the intelligent equipment corresponding to the target operation area is controlled to execute an instruction corresponding to the touch operation.

When the terminal detects a touch operation aiming at a target operation area in a device control interface of the intelligent home application, the terminal can send a control message to the intelligent home server through an interface between the intelligent home application and the intelligent home server, wherein the control message is used for instructing the intelligent home server to control the intelligent device corresponding to the target operation area to execute an instruction corresponding to the touch operation. When the smart home server receives the control message, an instruction corresponding to the touch operation may be sent to the smart device, so that the smart device executes the instruction corresponding to the touch operation.

In step 203, a color filling area in the target operation area is filled, and the filled color filling area is used to indicate a state of the smart device corresponding to the target operation area.

After the intelligent device corresponding to the target operation area is controlled to execute the instruction corresponding to the touch operation, in order to effectively reflect the current state of the intelligent device, a color filling area in the target operation area may be filled, where the filled color filling area is used to indicate the state of the intelligent device corresponding to the target operation area.

It should be noted that before the color filling area in the target operation area is filled, a color filling area may be set in the device group icon. In a possible implementation manner, at least two color filling regions may be set according to respective total regions of at least two operation regions included in the device group icon, where the at least two total regions correspond to the at least two color filling regions one to one; at least two color filling regions may also be set according to respective partial regions of at least two operation regions included in the device group icon, and the at least two partial regions are in one-to-one correspondence with the at least two color filling regions.

When at least two color filling regions are arranged according to the respective total regions of the at least two operation regions, masks can be respectively arranged above the at least two total regions to obtain at least two masks, and the regions of the at least two masks are used as the at least two color filling regions, wherein the area size of the regions of the at least two masks is the same as the area size of the at least two operation regions.

As shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is an exemplary diagram of filling a color filling area of an icon of the intelligent wall switch in fig. 3, wherein the color filling area of the left operation area is a left mask area, and the mask area is filled with oblique lines and represents an off-bright state, which indicates that the switch corresponding to the left operation area is in an off state; the color filling area of the right operation area is the right mask area, the mask area is filled by a transverse line and represents a bright state, and the bright state represents that the switch corresponding to the right operation area is in an on state.

As shown in fig. 6, fig. 6 is an exemplary diagram of filling a color filling area of an icon of the intelligent wall switch in fig. 4, wherein the color filling area of the upper operation option is an upper mask area, and the mask area is filled with oblique lines and represents a non-bright state, and the non-bright state indicates that the switch corresponding to the upper operation option is in an off state; the color filling area of the lower operation option is a lower mask area, the mask area is filled by transverse lines and represents a bright state, and the bright state represents that the switch corresponding to the lower operation option is in an on state.

When at least two color fill areas are set according to respective partial areas of at least two operation areas, any partial area of the at least two operation areas may be used as the color fill area, for example, a line area of the smart device in the at least two operation areas may be set as the at least two color fill areas, or a background area of the smart device in the at least two operation areas may be set as the at least two color fill areas.
