Before explaining the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure in detail, an application scenario and an implementation environment related to the embodiment of the present disclosure are introduced.

First, an application scenario according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described.

In modern life, people may possess a plurality of intelligent equipment such as similar intelligent kettle, intelligent bedside lamp, intelligent flowers and plants detector, can couple together terminal and intelligent equipment through bluetooth, and then connect the control that realizes the intelligent equipment through the bluetooth. At present, the first bluetooth connection between a terminal and an intelligent device is realized, and the steps of searching for bluetooth devices, selecting available devices, initiating a bluetooth pairing request and performing bluetooth pairing need to be sequentially performed, so that the bluetooth connection between the terminal and the intelligent device can be realized after the bluetooth pairing is successful. However, the terminal can only be connected with one intelligent device through the steps once, when a user needs to perform Bluetooth connection on the terminal and a plurality of intelligent devices, the steps are repeated for many times, and the operation process is complex, the cost is high, and the connection efficiency is low.

Next, an implementation environment according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described.

Referring to fig. 1, the implementation environment includes: the terminal 101, the intelligent device 102 and the server 103, wherein the terminal 101 and the intelligent device 102 can communicate by using a Bluetooth mesh technology, and the terminal 101 and the server 103 can communicate by wired or wireless connection. The terminal 101 may receive data packets broadcast by the plurality of intelligent devices 102, acquire a product identifier in each received data packet, select at least two target intelligent devices from the plurality of intelligent devices 102 according to the acquired product identifiers, and further display a bluetooth connection prompting message, where the bluetooth connection prompting message is used to prompt whether to perform bluetooth connection with the at least two target intelligent devices simultaneously. When the terminal 101 detects the confirmation operation of the bluetooth connection prompting message, bluetooth connection is simultaneously performed with at least two target smart devices by using a bluetooth mesh technology. After the terminal 101 performs bluetooth connection with at least two target smart devices simultaneously using the bluetooth mesh technology, it may send an information binding request to the server 103.

Because the Bluetooth connection prompting message is used for prompting whether to simultaneously perform Bluetooth connection with at least two target intelligent devices, when the confirmation operation of the Bluetooth connection prompting message is detected, the Bluetooth mesh technology can be used for simultaneously performing Bluetooth connection with the at least two target intelligent devices, namely, the Bluetooth connection can be performed with the intelligent devices in batches through the Bluetooth mesh technology, and the efficiency of connecting the intelligent devices through the Bluetooth is improved. In addition, in the process of realizing the Bluetooth connection with the intelligent equipment, the user only needs to confirm the Bluetooth connection prompt message, so that the user operation steps are simplified, the cost is saved, and the efficiency of connecting the intelligent equipment through the Bluetooth is further improved.

Optionally, selecting at least two target smart devices from the plurality of smart devices according to the obtained product identifiers includes:

when a control instruction for any target intelligent device in at least two target intelligent devices is detected, the control instruction is sent to any target intelligent device through the Bluetooth connection between the target intelligent device and the target intelligent device so as to control any target intelligent device to execute the operation corresponding to the control instruction.

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. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a smart device connection method in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. The interactive main body of the method is a terminal, a server and intelligent equipment, the terminal comprises but is not limited to a mobile phone, a PDA, a tablet personal computer, a portable device (such as a portable computer, a pocket computer or a handheld computer) and other devices which are provided with application software and are provided with an operation display screen, and the intelligent equipment comprises but is not limited to intelligent equipment comprising a Bluetooth module, such as an intelligent kettle, an intelligent bedside lamp and an intelligent flower and grass detector. Referring to fig. 3, the method includes the following steps.

In step 301, a terminal receives a data packet broadcast by a plurality of intelligent devices.

Generally, the smart device directly enters a broadcast state after being powered on or reset for the first time, that is, the smart device always broadcasts data packets to the outside, and the broadcast form of the smart device may be an omnidirectional broadcast. In this way, after the terminal turns on the bluetooth function, the terminal can scan a plurality of nearby intelligent devices broadcasting data packets, so as to receive the data packets broadcasted by the plurality of intelligent devices.

The data packet broadcasted by the intelligent device may be formed by packaging description information such as a name and an icon of the intelligent device, and therefore, the related information of the intelligent device may be obtained through the data packet broadcasted by the intelligent device.

In step 302, the terminal obtains the product identifier in each received data packet.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the data packet broadcasted by the smart device may further include a product identifier, and the product identifier may be used to uniquely identify the manufacturer of the smart device. For example, the product Identifier may be a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) or a company Identifier. Different intelligent devices can be identified through different UUIDs, and then the manufacturers of the intelligent devices are determined. The manufacturer of the intelligent device can be directly identified through the company identification code.

It should be noted that the data packet broadcast by the smart device may include the UUID and/or the company identification code of the smart device. In general, the data packet broadcast by the smart device may include the UUID and the company identification code of the smart device.

The implementation process of the terminal acquiring the product identifier in each received data packet may be: and the terminal analyzes each received data packet and acquires a product identifier from each analyzed data packet.

In step 303, the terminal selects at least two target smart devices from the plurality of smart devices according to the obtained product identifier, where the at least two target smart devices are devices that need to be connected via bluetooth.

Because the embodiment of the disclosure is mainly applied to the field of smart home, and in the field of smart home, the smart device is mainly controlled by the smart home application installed in the terminal, however, the device of the same manufacturer can only be controlled by the smart home application corresponding to the manufacturer, for example, the smart device of company a can only be controlled by the smart home application of company a, and the smart device of company B can only be controlled by the smart home application of company B. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the terminal acquires the product identifier in each received data packet, it is necessary to select a legal smart device from the plurality of smart devices, that is, select a device belonging to the same manufacturer as the smart home application currently installed in the terminal, that is, at least two target smart devices.

Since the product identifier may be used to uniquely identify the manufacturer of the smart device, the implementation process of selecting at least two target smart devices from the plurality of smart devices according to the obtained product identifier may be: and selecting the intelligent device with the product identifier being the same as the preset product identifier in the broadcasted data packet from the plurality of intelligent devices, and determining the selected intelligent device as at least two target intelligent devices.

It should be noted that the preset product identifier may be a product identifier written in the terminal in advance, and the preset product identifier may be a preset UUID or a preset company identification code.

In general, the prefix of the UUID may identify a manufacturer of the smart device, and therefore, in an implementable manner, a smart device in which the prefix of the UUID in the broadcasted data packet is the same as the prefix of the preset UUID may be selected from the plurality of smart devices, or a smart device in which the company identification code in the broadcasted data packet is the same as the preset company identification code may be selected from the plurality of smart devices, and the selected smart device may be considered as a legitimate smart device, that is, the selected smart device may be determined as at least two target smart devices.

For example, when the plurality of smart devices include smart device a, smart device B, smart device C, and smart device D, and the packets broadcast by smart device a and smart device D include UUID and company identification code, the packets broadcast by smart device B include UUID but do not include company identification code, and the packets broadcast by smart device C include company identification code but do not include UUID. The prefix of the UUID acquired from the data packet broadcast by the smart device a is 0xFE95-, the company identifier is 0x038F, the prefix of the UUID acquired from the data packet broadcast by the smart device B is 0xFE95-, the company identifier acquired from the data packet broadcast by the smart device C is 0x038F, the prefix of the UUID acquired from the data packet broadcast by the smart device D is 0xFE98-, and the company identifier is 0x 039F. Supposing that when the preset product identifier is a preset UUID, the prefix of the preset UUID is 0xFE95 —, and when the preset product identifier is a preset company identification code, the preset company identification code is 0x038F, the obtained prefix of the UUID is compared with the prefix of the preset UUID, or the obtained company identification code is compared with the preset company identification code, after comparison, it is found that the smart device a, the smart device B, and the smart device C are legal devices, and only the smart device D is an illegal device, and the result after comparison can be represented by the following table 1. Smart device a, smart device B, and smart device C may thus be determined as target smart devices.

TABLE 1

Intelligent device	UUID prefix	Prefix of company identification code	Validity of
				Intelligent device A	0xFE95-	0x038F-	Legal system
Intelligent equipment B	0xFE95-	-	Legal system
				Intelligent equipment C	-	0x038F-	Legal system
Intelligent device D	0xFE98-	0x039F-	Is illegal

In step 304, the terminal obtains description information of at least two target smart devices according to the device identifiers in the data packets broadcast by the at least two target smart devices.

Since the obtained product identifier may be a device identifier and the device identifier may be at least a UUID of the smart device, in order to facilitate a user to know which device the at least two target smart devices are, the terminal may obtain description information of the at least two target smart devices according to the device identifiers in the data packets broadcast by the at least two target smart devices. The description information of the target smart device may include a device identifier, a name, an icon, a model number, and the like of the target smart device.

Generally, the server may also store description information of each smart device belonging to the same manufacturer, and in order to reduce signaling overhead between the terminal and the server and improve information acquisition messages, the terminal may further synchronize the description information stored in the server, that is, the terminal may store the description information of each smart device belonging to the same manufacturer in the smart home application.

In step 305, the terminal displays a bluetooth connection prompting message, where the bluetooth connection prompting message is used to prompt whether to perform bluetooth connection with at least two target smart devices simultaneously, and the bluetooth connection prompting message includes description information of the at least two target smart devices.

It should be noted that step 304 is an optional step, and thus, whether the bluetooth alert message includes the description information of at least two target smart devices is also optional. When the bluetooth connection prompting message includes the description information of at least two target intelligent devices, the terminal displays the description information of the at least two target intelligent devices, which may include at least the following two ways.

The first mode is as follows: the terminal may display the description information of at least two target smart devices on the same interface in a tiled or list format.

It should be noted that, when the first mode is used for displaying, the full selection option and the connection confirmation option may be displayed on the display interface. When the user clicks the full selection option, the terminal may select all target smart devices displayed on the interface. When the user clicks the connection confirmation option again, the terminal can determine that the user needs to perform bluetooth connection between all target intelligent devices displayed on the interface and the terminal.

Optionally, after the user clicks the full selection option, a cancel operation may be performed on the selected target smart device.

The second mode is as follows: the terminal may display the descriptive information of the at least two target smart devices in a scrolling manner.

It should be noted that, when the second mode is used for displaying, only the description information of one target smart device may be displayed on one display interface. The user can click the target intelligent device displayed on the current interface, and then slide to the next interface, so that the target intelligent device which needs to be connected with the terminal in a Bluetooth mode at present is selected.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, only the two display modes are described as examples, and the two display modes are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, the description information of four target intelligent devices including the intelligent air purifier, the intelligent ceiling lamp, the intelligent bedside lamp and the intelligent sweeper is acquired in step 304. In this way, the terminal may display a bluetooth connection prompting message interface as shown in fig. 4, in which a prompting message of "find 4 new smart devices" and an "all connected" option are displayed. When the user clicks the 'all connection' option, it can be determined that the user needs to perform bluetooth connection with the four pieces of intelligent equipment through the terminal at the same time, and at this time, the terminal can determine that the confirmation operation on the bluetooth connection prompt message is detected. Certainly, names and icons of the four intelligent devices can be displayed in the bluetooth connection prompting message, each intelligent device is further provided with a selection option, and a user can select a part of devices needing bluetooth connection through the terminal from the four intelligent devices and then click on the 'all connection' option. At this time, it may be determined that the user only needs to perform bluetooth connection with some of the four smart devices through the terminal, and the terminal may determine that a confirmation operation for the bluetooth connection prompting message is detected.

In step 306, when the terminal detects the confirmation operation of the bluetooth connection prompting message, bluetooth connection is performed with at least two target smart devices simultaneously using the bluetooth mesh technology.

It should be noted that the confirmation operation may be triggered by the user, and the confirmation operation is used to indicate that bluetooth connection is currently required for at least two target smart devices.

In addition, the bluetooth mesh technology is a wireless communication technology based on bluetooth low energy, which can establish a many-to-many relationship between wireless devices, and the bluetooth mesh technology has multiple channels, and can effectively avoid co-channel interference of multiple devices, so that after the bluetooth mesh technology is adopted to perform bluetooth connection with at least two target intelligent devices simultaneously, a mesh network can be formed, and a terminal can simultaneously communicate with the at least two target intelligent devices through the mesh network, thereby improving the control efficiency of the target intelligent devices.

Further, after the terminal detects the confirmation operation of the bluetooth connection prompting message, the terminal and at least two target intelligent devices can be simultaneously connected in a bluetooth mode, and in the process of bluetooth connection, in order to inform a user of the current connection progress, the terminal can also display the connection progress prompting message.

Continuing with the above example, at least two target smart devices include four target smart devices, namely, a smart air purifier, a smart ceiling lamp, a smart bedside lamp and a smart sweeper, when the terminal is in bluetooth connection with the four target smart devices, a connection progress prompting interface as shown in fig. 5 can be displayed, a connection progress prompting message is displayed in the connection progress prompting interface, the connection progress prompting message includes description information of the target smart device currently being connected, namely, an icon and a name of the smart air purifier, and a current connection progress "being connected (1/4)", namely, a first smart device of the four target smart devices is currently being connected. In addition, the connection progress prompting message also comprises a background connection option, namely, the connection with the four target intelligent devices can be put into the background for running, and the operation of the user on other applications is not influenced. Further, after the terminal is successfully connected to the four target smart devices via bluetooth, a connection success message display interface as shown in fig. 6 may be displayed, where a connection success prompt message indicating that the connection of the 4 devices is successful and a "complete" option are displayed on the connection success message display interface. When the user clicks the "done" option, the terminal may jump to the bluetooth control interface or other control interface. Of course, the connection success prompt message interface may also display names and icons of the four pieces of smart devices, and the user may know which target smart devices the terminal has established bluetooth connection with through the names and icons.

After the terminal establishes the bluetooth connection with the at least two target smart devices through the steps 301 to 306, in order to avoid the other terminal from establishing the bluetooth connection with the at least two target smart devices, the terminal may control the at least two target smart devices to stop broadcasting the data packet through the steps 307 to 310, and further prohibit the other terminal from establishing the bluetooth connection with the at least two target smart devices.

In step 307, the terminal sends an information binding request to the server, where the information binding request carries a currently logged-in user account and MAC addresses of at least two target smart devices.

After the terminal establishes bluetooth connection with at least two target intelligent devices, the terminal can acquire the MAC addresses of the at least two target intelligent devices, and the MAC addresses have global uniqueness, that is, the MAC addresses can uniquely identify one intelligent device, so that the terminal can send an information binding request to the server to uniquely identify the at least two target intelligent devices through the MAC addresses carried in the information binding request.

In step 308, when the server receives the information binding request sent by the terminal, the server binds at least two target smart devices with the user account, and sends a binding success prompt message to the terminal.

Because the information binding request sent by the terminal to the server carries the currently logged-in user account and the MAC addresses of the at least two target intelligent devices, and the MAC addresses have global uniqueness, when the server receives the information binding request sent by the terminal, the at least two target intelligent devices can be bound with the user account carried in the information binding request at the same time. And then, a binding success message can be sent to the terminal, so that the terminal is prompted that the at least two target intelligent devices are successfully bound with the user account carried in the information binding request.

In a possible implementation manner, MAC addresses of at least two target smart devices and the user account carried in the information binding request may be correspondingly stored, so as to implement binding between the at least two target smart devices and the user account carried in the information binding request.

For example, the MAC addresses of the at least two target smart devices are address 2 and address 3, respectively, and the user account carried in the information binding request is account 12, at this time, the server may correspondingly store the MAC addresses of the at least two target smart devices and the user account carried in the information binding request into a corresponding relationship shown in table 2 below.

TABLE 2

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, only the correspondence relationships shown in table 2 are described as examples, and table 2 does not limit the embodiments of the present disclosure.

The terminal can establish Bluetooth connection with at least two target intelligent devices simultaneously by adopting the method, so that the server can also bind the at least two target intelligent devices under the same user account simultaneously without respectively binding the at least two target intelligent devices through repeated actions. Therefore, the signaling overhead between the terminal and the server can be saved, and the data processing pressure of the server can be reduced.

In step 309, when the terminal receives the binding success prompt message sent by the server, it sends a broadcast stop instruction to at least two target smart devices.

It should be noted that, when the terminal receives the binding success prompt message sent by the server, the terminal may send the broadcast stop instruction to at least two target intelligent devices at the same time, or send the broadcast stop instruction to at least two target intelligent devices one by one. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

Since the terminal and the at least two target intelligent devices have established bluetooth connection, the terminal can send a broadcast stop instruction to the at least two target intelligent devices through the bluetooth connection between the terminal and the at least two target intelligent devices.

In step 310, when the at least two target smart devices receive the broadcast stop instruction sent by the terminal, the broadcast data packet is stopped.

Because the intelligent device entering the broadcast state always broadcasts the data packet to the outside, that is, the intelligent device entering the broadcast state is in the state to be connected, when the terminal is connected to the intelligent device, the intelligent device may stop broadcasting. Therefore, after the terminal is connected to the at least two target intelligent devices, the broadcast stop instruction can be sent to the at least two target intelligent devices, and the at least two target intelligent devices stop broadcasting the data packet after receiving the broadcast stop instruction, so that resource waste is avoided, and other terminals are also avoided from being connected to the at least two target intelligent devices.

The implementation manner of the at least two target smart devices stopping broadcasting the data packet may be: the at least two target intelligent devices close the Bluetooth function of the at least two target intelligent devices to stop broadcasting the data packet outwards.

After the at least two target smart devices are bound to the user account carried in the information binding request through the

steps

307 and 308, the terminal currently logging in the user account obtains the usage right and the operation right of the at least two target smart devices, so that the terminal can control the at least two target smart devices after the binding operation is completed.

That is, when the terminal receives the binding success message sent by the server, the description information of at least two target intelligent devices may be displayed in the device information interface, and the device information interface is used to display the description information of the intelligent devices that are successfully bound and can be controlled. When the terminal detects a control instruction for any target intelligent device in at least two target intelligent devices, the control instruction is sent to any target intelligent device through Bluetooth connection between the terminal and any target intelligent device. And when any target intelligent device receives the control instruction sent by the terminal, executing the operation corresponding to the control instruction.

In step 308, when the server receives the information binding request sent by the terminal, the server binds the at least two target intelligent devices with the user account carried in the information binding request, and sends a binding success prompt message to the terminal, so that when the terminal receives the binding success prompt message, the server can display the description information of the at least two target intelligent devices and control options capable of controlling the at least two target intelligent devices. In this way, when a user needs to control any one of the at least two target smart devices, one of the displayed control options may be selected, so as to trigger a control instruction for the any one target smart device. Therefore, the terminal can send a control instruction to any target intelligent device through the Bluetooth mesh network between the terminal and the target intelligent device, and the control instruction carries control operation. And when any target intelligent device receives the control instruction, executing the control operation corresponding to the control instruction.

When the user executes the use right and the operation right of the target intelligent device through the terminal, only simple click operation needs to be carried out on the interface of the terminal, so that the operation process is simplified, and the operation cost and the understanding cost of the user are reduced. In addition, the user only needs to perform simple clicking operation on the interface of the terminal to execute the use right and the operation right of the target intelligent device through the terminal, so that the application range of the intelligent device is expanded.

It should be noted that, after the server sends the binding success prompt message to the terminal, the terminal may control the at least two target smart devices to stop broadcasting the data packet through the

steps

309 and 310, and then control the at least two target smart devices. Of course, the terminal may control the at least two target intelligent devices first, and then control the at least two target intelligent devices to stop broadcasting the data packet through the step 309 and the step 310, that is, the sequence of the control process is not limited in this disclosure.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the terminal receives the data packets broadcast by the plurality of intelligent devices, the product identifier in each data packet may be acquired, and at least two target intelligent devices are selected from the plurality of intelligent devices according to the acquired product identifiers, so as to display the bluetooth connection prompt message. Because the Bluetooth connection prompting message is used for prompting whether to simultaneously perform Bluetooth connection with at least two target intelligent devices, when the confirmation operation of the Bluetooth connection prompting message is detected, the Bluetooth mesh technology can be used for simultaneously performing Bluetooth connection with the at least two target intelligent devices, namely, the Bluetooth connection with the intelligent devices can be performed in batches through the Bluetooth mesh technology, the Bluetooth connection time is greatly reduced, and the efficiency of connecting the intelligent devices through the Bluetooth is improved. In addition, in the process of realizing the Bluetooth connection with the intelligent equipment, the user only needs to confirm the Bluetooth connection prompt message, so that the user operation steps are simplified, the cost is saved, and the efficiency of connecting the intelligent equipment through the Bluetooth is further improved. Furthermore, because some intelligent devices are provided with the bluetooth broadcast time limit, that is, after the set time limit is exceeded, the intelligent devices do not broadcast data packets any more, so that in order to avoid the problem that the bluetooth connection fails because the bluetooth broadcast time limit set for some intelligent devices is exceeded, the embodiment of the present disclosure adopts the bluetooth mesh technology to perform bluetooth connection with at least two target intelligent devices simultaneously, so that the problem that the bluetooth connection fails can be avoided.
