Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
The invention provides an intelligent household system for uniformly and efficiently controlling intelligent equipment in a house. Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an intelligent home system 100 according to an embodiment of the invention.
The smart home system 100 is used to control smart devices in a house. The smart device is a device capable of communicating with the outside (e.g., other devices or servers) using a certain communication protocol, such as Bluetooth (Bluetooth) protocol, ZigBee protocol, TCP/IP protocol, and the like. The intelligent device may be, for example, an intelligent security device installed near a gate, a fresh air system installed on a certain floor, an intelligent lamp, an intelligent curtain, an intelligent air conditioner installed in a certain room, or the like, but is not limited thereto. In order to make the description more concise, the smart device is simply referred to as a device hereinafter.
As shown in fig. 1, the smart home system 100 includes a smart gateway 110 and at least one sub-gateway 120. It should be noted that the smart home system 100 shown in fig. 1 is only an example, and one smart gateway 110 and three sub-gateways 120-1 to 120-3 are shown. Those skilled in the art can understand that in practice, the smart home system may include any number of smart gateways and sub-gateways, and the number of the smart gateways and sub-gateways included in the smart home system is not limited in the present invention.
The intelligent gateway 110 is configured to implement transmission of control instructions and related data in the intelligent home system 100. The intelligent gateway 110 may be implemented, for example, as a router, a server enabled with a routing protocol, or the like, but is not limited thereto.
The intelligent gateway 110 is respectively connected to the sub-gateways 120 in a communication manner, and the intelligent gateway 110 and the sub-gateways 120 communicate with each other by using a first communication protocol. The first communication protocol may be, for example, a TCP/IP protocol, a UDP protocol, or the like, but is not limited thereto. For example, referring to FIG. 1, the intelligent gateway 110 may be communicatively coupled to the sub-gateways 120-1, 120-2, 120-3 in a wired or wireless manner, respectively, and the intelligent gateway 110 communicates with the sub-gateways 120-1, 120-2, 120-3 using TCP/IP protocol. According to one embodiment, the intelligent gateway 110 may establish a long HTTP connection with the sub-gateway 120 and use the TCP/IP protocol for bi-directional information transfer between the two.
In addition to being communicatively coupled to each of the sub-gateways 120, the intelligent gateway 110 may also be communicatively coupled to devices that support the first communication protocol. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, device 8 supports a first communication protocol and intelligent gateway 110 may be in direct communication with device 8.
The sub-gateway 120 is communicatively coupled to at least one device in the premises, and the sub-gateway 120 communicates with the devices coupled thereto using a second communication protocol. The second communication protocol is a different communication protocol than the first communication protocol. The second communication protocol may be, for example, but not limited to, a bluetooth protocol, a ZigBee protocol, a Z-wave protocol, or a communication protocol customized by a device manufacturer. For example, referring to fig. 1, the sub-gateway 120-1 is in communication connection with the device 1, the device 2, and the device 3, respectively, and the sub-gateway 120-1 communicates with the devices 1 to 3 by using a bluetooth protocol; the sub-gateway 120-2 is respectively in communication connection with the device 4 and the device 5, and the sub-gateway 120-2 is in communication with the device 4 and the device 5 by adopting a ZigBee protocol; the sub-gateway 120-3 is communicatively connected to the devices 6 and 7, respectively, and the sub-gateway 120-3 communicates with the devices 6 and 7 using a communication protocol defined by manufacturers of the devices 6 and 7 (in this case, the devices 6 and 7 are usually manufactured by the same manufacturer).
At least one device to which the sub-gateway 120 is connected constitutes a sub-network. For example, referring to fig. 1, the sub-gateway 120-1 and the devices 1 to 3 form a sub-network, the sub-gateway 120-2 and the devices 4 and 5 form a sub-network, and the sub-gateway 120-3 and the devices 6 and 7 form a sub-network.
The sub-gateway 120 is disposed between the intelligent gateway 110 and the device that does not support the first communication protocol, is capable of supporting the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol, and can perform data conversion between the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol, thereby implementing relay communication between the intelligent gateway 110 and the device that does not support the first communication protocol. The sub-gateway 120 may be implemented, for example, as a router, a server that is enabled with a routing protocol, or a corresponding gateway product produced by a device manufacturer, etc., but is not limited thereto.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent gateway 110 receives a control instruction for a target device sent by a user, and based on the connection condition between the target device and the intelligent gateway 110 and the sub-gateway 120, there are two processing manners:
1) the target device is connected with the sub-gateway: the intelligent gateway 110 determines a target sub-gateway to which the target device is connected, and transmits the control instruction to the target sub-gateway by using a first communication protocol. After receiving a control instruction sent by the intelligent gateway according to the first communication protocol, the target sub-gateway performs protocol conversion on the control instruction, that is, converts the control instruction into a data format conforming to the second communication protocol, and sends the control instruction to the target device by adopting the second communication protocol so as to control the target device.
2) The target equipment is directly connected with the intelligent gateway: the intelligent gateway 110 directly adopts the first communication protocol to send the control instruction to the target device so as to control the target device.
According to one embodiment, the intelligent gateway 110 receives the identification of the target sub-gateway and the identification of the target device in the subnet together when receiving the control instruction for the target device sent by the user. The identifier of the target sub-gateway is a character string for uniquely identifying the target sub-gateway, and the identifier of the target device in the subnet is a character string for uniquely identifying the target device in the subnet. Then, the intelligent gateway 110 sends the control command and the identifier of the target device in the subnet to the target sub-gateway by using the first communication protocol. And then, the target sub-gateway sends the control instruction to the target equipment by adopting a second communication protocol according to the identifier of the target equipment in the subnet so as to control the target equipment.
The following is a specific example of the transmission process of the control instruction:
firstly, the intelligent gateway 110 receives a JSON data packet sent by a user (through an interactive terminal) through a TCP/IP protocol, and the data format is as follows:
wherein, deviceId is the mark of the target sub-gateway; the messageId is a message identifier and is used for uniquely identifying a primary control action; action is a control type, and the value of the action is 'setDeviceOn' which indicates that the control type is equipment opening; time is the sending time of the control instruction; parameters are specific parameters of the control instruction, where aid is an identifier of the target device in the subnet, open indicates that the current control instruction operates an open attribute of the device, and a value of open is true indicates that the current control will open the device.
Then, the intelligent gateway 110 simplifies the data to some extent (for example, information such as an identifier of the target sub-gateway may be omitted), and sends the data to the target sub-gateway by using a TCP/IP protocol, where the simplified data format is as follows:
wherein aid is the identifier of the target device in the subnet; iid is an identifier of an attribute to be operated, wherein the attribute to be operated is a switch attribute, and the identifier of the switch attribute is 10; value is the attribute value after operation, and value is true, indicating that the switch attribute is set to on.
Then, after the target sub-gateway simplifies the data to some extent (for example, the identifier of the target device in the subnet may be omitted), the bluetooth protocol is adopted to send the control instruction to the target device, and the simplified data format is as follows:
{
"open":true
}
wherein, open represents that the control instruction operates the open attribute of the target device at this time, and the value of open is true, which represents that the control will open the target device at this time.
Based on the technical scheme of the invention, through the combination of the intelligent gateway 110 and the sub-gateway 120, the intelligent home system 100 can uniformly and efficiently control and manage the devices which are produced by different manufacturers and support different communication protocols, thereby improving the user experience.
For example, the device 1, the device 2, and the device 3 produced by the manufacturer a only support the bluetooth protocol, so as to facilitate the user to manage and control the devices 1 to 3, the manufacturer a also provides a corresponding bluetooth gateway a and a terminal application a, the user issues a control instruction by operating the application a, and the control instruction is sent to the devices 1 to 3 through the bluetooth gateway a. The equipment 4 and the equipment 5 produced by the manufacturer B only support the ZigBee protocol, in order to facilitate the user to control the equipment 4 and 5, the manufacturer B also provides a corresponding ZigBee gateway B and a terminal application B, the user issues a control instruction by operating the application B, and the control instruction is sent to the equipment 4 and 5 through the gateway B. The equipment 6 and the equipment 7 produced by the manufacturer C only support the self-defined communication protocol, so that the user can control the equipment 6 and 7 conveniently, the manufacturer C also provides a corresponding gateway C and a corresponding terminal application C, the user issues a control instruction by operating the application C, and the control instruction is sent to the equipment 6 and 7 through the gateway C.
If the scheme is based on the prior art, because the communication protocols supported by the devices 1 to 7 are different, in order to control the devices 1 to 7, a user needs to install three applications, i.e., applications a to C, in the terminal of the user, and control the corresponding devices by operating the corresponding applications.
Based on the technical scheme of the invention, an intelligent gateway 110 is arranged, the intelligent gateway is respectively in communication connection with gateways A to C provided by manufacturers, and the gateways A to C correspond to the sub-gateways 120 in the invention. An application D for sending a control instruction to the intelligent gateway is installed in the user terminal, and an interactive terminal (such as a control panel, a mobile knob, etc.) specially used for communicating with the intelligent gateway 110 is configured, so that the user issues the control instruction by operating the application D or through the special interactive terminal, and the control instruction is sent to the corresponding gateways a to C through the intelligent gateways. And the gateways A to C carry out communication protocol conversion and send the converted control instruction to the equipment to be controlled. Thus, based on the technical scheme of the invention, by configuring the intelligent gateway 110 and connecting the intelligent gateway 110 with the sub-gateways a to C respectively, a user can realize unified control on devices which are produced by different manufacturers and support different communication protocols only by installing an application (namely, application D) in the terminal of the user or adopting a special interactive terminal, thereby simplifying user operation and improving user experience.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of an intelligent home system 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The system 200 differs from the system 100 in that an interaction terminal 130 and a relay terminal 140 are added to the system 200. Fig. 3 shows a layout diagram of the smart home system 200 in a house according to an embodiment of the invention.
As shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, the connection relationship among the intelligent gateway 110, the sub-gateway 120, and the device is referred to above and will not be described herein again. The intelligent gateway 110 and the sub-gateway 120 may be installed inside a house or outside the house. The devices are usually installed in the house, and in some cases, the devices are installed outside the house, for example, some intelligent lamps and intelligent security devices are installed outside the house.
The interactive terminal 130 is configured to interact with a user, receive a control instruction for a target device sent by the user, send the control instruction to the intelligent gateway 110, and output feedback data (the feedback data includes, for example, an execution result of the control instruction, whether the execution is successful) after the target device executes the control instruction to the user. The interactive terminal 130 may be any terminal device having input and output modules. The interactive terminal 130 may be, for example, a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, or may be a mobile knob, a control panel, a smart speaker, etc., but is not limited thereto. The interactive terminal 130 may be disposed inside a house or outside the house.
According to an embodiment, the interactive terminal 130 stores the sub-gateways to which the devices are connected and the identifiers of the devices in the corresponding sub-networks, and after receiving a control instruction for a target device sent by a user, the interactive terminal 130 sends the control instruction, the identifier of the target sub-gateway to which the target device is connected and the identifier of the target device in the sub-network to the intelligent gateway 110.
According to an embodiment, the interactive terminal 130 may communicate with the intelligent gateway 110 directly using the first communication protocol, or may communicate with the intelligent gateway through the transit terminal 140, wherein the transit terminal is adapted to communicate with the intelligent gateway 110 using the first communication protocol.
According to one embodiment, the interactive terminal 130 is a smart speaker.
As shown in fig. 3, the smart speaker is provided in a house. The smart sound box is adapted to receive a voice instruction sent by a user, and send the voice instruction to the sound box server 300 for analysis, so that the sound box server 300 determines a target device and a control instruction corresponding to the voice instruction. For example, the sound box server 300 may determine text information corresponding to a voice instruction of a user by using an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology, and then identify an intention of the user by using a Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology to determine a target device and a control instruction.
After the speaker server 300 determines the target device and the control instruction corresponding to the voice instruction, the target device and the control instruction are sent to the intelligent gateway 110. Accordingly, the intelligent gateway 110 receives the control instruction for the target device, which is analyzed and sent by the sound box server.
According to one embodiment, the interaction terminal 130 is a moving knob, and the relay terminal 140 is a sensor. The movement knob communicates with the intelligent gateway 110 through the sensor. As shown in fig. 3, the inductor is fixedly installed in the house.
The mobile knob is a mobile terminal with a display module and a wireless communication module. The display module is preferably a touch screen, which can be used as both an output and an input device. The wireless communication module may be, for example, a bluetooth module, a ZigBee module, a WiFi module, etc., but is not limited thereto. From the aspect of saving power, the movement knob is preferably a wireless communication module with low power consumption, such as a bluetooth module. An operating system and a corresponding application are deployed in the moving knob and used for driving the display module to display related data and receiving a control instruction input by a user. The operating system may be, for example, FreeOS, Android, iOS, etc., but is not limited thereto.
The sensors are fixedly arranged in the house, for example, one or two sensors can be arranged in each room and living room. It should be noted that the fixed installation of the sensor in the house does not mean that the position of the sensor in the house is always fixed, but means that the sensor is statically installed in the house, and the user cannot carry the sensor around. However, the static position of the sensor may change. For example, the sensor 1 is fixed on the wall of the room 1 for a certain period of time, and then the user may move the sensor 1 to the ceiling of the room 1 for decoration or the like. Whether the sensor 1 is fixed to the wall or ceiling of the room 1, the sensor 1 is always static for a certain period of time, and the user cannot move around with the sensor 1.
In the embodiment of the invention, the sensor is provided with a wireless communication module corresponding to the movable knob and used for establishing wireless connection and communication with the movable knob. For example, the sensor and the moving knob are both provided with bluetooth modules, and accordingly, the sensor and the moving knob can establish bluetooth connection and communicate.
In practice, the inductor may implement any terminal having a wireless communication module. In some embodiments, sensor 120 may also be implemented as a control panel hereinafter.
In the embodiment of the invention, a user can carry the moving knob to move in or near a house, and the moving knob can sense the wireless signals sent by the sensors and establish wireless connection with the sensor with the maximum signal intensity. The communication quality between the movable knob and the inductor is guaranteed, and efficient and real-time control over the intelligent device is facilitated.
After the mobile knob is connected to the sensor, the user may operate the mobile knob to send a control command to the target device, and the control command is sent to the target device through the sensor connected to the current mobile knob, the smart gateway 110, and the corresponding sub-gateway 120 in sequence, so as to control the target device. In some embodiments, when the target device executes the control instruction, feedback data may be generated, and the feedback data includes, for example, but not limited to, an execution time and an execution result (execution success or execution failure) of the control instruction. The target device sends the feedback data to the sub-gateway 120, the sub-gateway 120 further sends the feedback data to the intelligent gateway 110 after performing protocol conversion, and the intelligent gateway 110 sends the feedback data to the mobile knob through the current sensor connected with the mobile knob to inform a user whether the target device is successfully controlled.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, at a certain time, the user carries the moving knob to enter the room 2, and at this time, since the moving knob is far away from the sensor 3, the moving knob cannot sense the wireless signal sent by the sensor 3, and can only sense the wireless signals sent by the sensor 1 and the sensor 2. Since the signal intensity sensed by the sensor 2 by the moving knob is larger, the moving knob establishes a wireless connection with the sensor 2. The user can then operate on the movement knob, view the operating status of the devices in the house, and issue control commands for the target device, for example, for device 3. The control instruction is sent to the sensor 2 by the moving knob, then the sensor 2 sends the control instruction to the intelligent gateway 110, the intelligent gateway 110 sends the control instruction to the sub-gateway 120-1, and the sub-gateway 120-1 performs communication protocol conversion and then sends the control instruction to the device 3 so as to control the device 3. The device 3 executes the control command, and returns an execution result (execution success or execution failure) to the sub-gateway 120-1 as feedback data. After receiving the feedback data sent by the device 3, the sub-gateway 120-1 sends the feedback data to the mobile knob through the intelligent gateway 110 and the sensor 2, and the mobile knob displays the feedback data on a display module thereof to prompt a user whether to successfully control the device 3.
According to one embodiment, the movement knob is adapted to establish a wireless connection with an inductor according to the following method:
first, the sensor is suitable for sensing the wireless signal sent by the movable knob and sending the sensing data to the intelligent gateway. The sensing data includes the Signal Strength (RSSI) of the wireless Signal emitted from the moving knob sensed by the sensor, and the Signal Strength is usually a negative number in dBm. According to one embodiment, the sensing data further comprises a physical address (MAC address) of the sensor and an identification of the movement knob, which is a character string for uniquely representing the movement knob.
And then, the intelligent gateway broadcasts the received sensing data to each sensor. After receiving the induction data broadcasted by the intelligent gateway, the inductor needs to make the following judgments: if a certain sensor is currently connected with the mobile knob and the signal intensity in the received sensing data is greater than the signal intensity of the mobile knob sensed by the sensor, the wireless connection with the mobile knob is disconnected; otherwise, the sensor does not perform any operation. That is, if the sensor is not currently connected to the moving knob, or the sensor is connected to the moving knob but the received signal strength is less than or equal to the signal strength sensed by the sensor, no operation is performed.
And then, the movable knob senses the wireless signals sent by the sensors and establishes wireless connection with the sensor with the maximum sensed wireless signal intensity.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, at the present time t1, the moving knob is connected to the sensor 2 in the room 2. Subsequently, the user walks around in the house with the movement knob, and at the next time t2, the user enters the room 1 with the movement knob.
The sensors 1-3 are suitable for sensing wireless signals sent by the mobile knobs and sending sensing data to the intelligent gateway 110. The following is an example of the sensing data sent out by sensor 1 at time t 2:
MAC＝F76DEB973448，RSSI＝-50，NAME＝BM02X-B748；
wherein, the MAC is the MAC address of the inductor 1; the RSSI is the signal strength of the wireless signal sent by the moving knob and sensed by the sensor 1, and the unit of the RSSI is dBm; NAME is the identification of the moving knob.
The sensing data sent by the sensor 2 at the time t2 is as follows:
MAC＝F76DEB973449，RSSI＝-60，NAME＝BM02X-B748；
wherein, the MAC is the MAC address of the inductor 2; the RSSI is the signal strength of the wireless signal sent by the moving knob and sensed by the sensor 2, and the unit of the RSSI is dBm; NAME is the identification of the moving knob.
The sensing data sent by the sensor 3 at the time t2 is as follows:
MAC＝F76DEB973450，RSSI＝-70，NAME＝BM02X-B748；
wherein, the MAC is the MAC address of the inductor 3; the RSSI is the signal strength of the wireless signal sent by the moving knob and sensed by the sensor 3, and the unit of the RSSI is dBm; NAME is the identification of the moving knob.
Inductor 1 ~ 13 induction data transmission to intelligent gateway 110 that will sense, intelligent gateway 110 will received induction data broadcast to each inductor, like this, inductor 1 will receive the induction data of inductor 2, 3 of intelligent gateway 110 broadcast, inductor 2 will receive the induction data of inductor 1, 3 of intelligent gateway 110 broadcast, inductor 3 will receive the induction data of inductor 2, 3 of intelligent gateway 110 broadcast, the induction data of inductor 2, 3 of intelligent gateway 110 broadcast will be received to inductor 3.
Because the current sensors 1 and 3 are not connected with the mobile knob, the sensors 1 and 3 do not need to do any operation after receiving the sensing data broadcasted by the intelligent gateway 110. The sensor 2 is connected with the movable knob at present, and the sensor 2 judges the signal intensity of the received sensors 1 and 3 and the signal intensity sensed by the sensor 2 after receiving the sensing data of the sensors 1 and 3. Since the signal strength of the sensor 1 is-50 dBm, which is greater than-60 dBm, the sensor 2 actively disconnects from the moving knob.
Then, the moving knob will automatically connect the sensor 1-3 with the highest signal strength, since the signal strength of the sensor 1 is-50 dBm, which is larger than the signal strengths of the sensors 2, 3, which are-60 dBm, -70dBm, the moving knob is connected with the sensor 1.
After the mobile knob is connected to the sensor 1, the user may issue a control command for the target device by operating the mobile knob, and send the control command to the intelligent gateway 110 through the sensor 1 connected to the user. The intelligent gateway 110 further transmits the control instruction to the target device through the corresponding sub-gateway 120, or the intelligent gateway 110 directly transmits the control instruction to the target device (when the target device supports the first communication protocol, directly connected to the intelligent gateway 110).
Fig. 4 illustrates a perspective view of a movement knob 400 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the moving knob 400 includes a base 410 and a metal ring 420, and the metal ring 420 is disposed on an outer sidewall of the base 410 and is rotatable in a circumferential direction with respect to the base 410. The base 410 is provided inside with a hall element 430 (the hall element 430 is not shown in fig. 4), and according to the hall effect, the hall element 430 is adapted to sense a rotation behavior of the ferrule 420, the rotation behavior including a rotation direction, a rotation distance, and the like, and convert the rotation behavior into a control instruction for the target device, specifically, a control instruction for adjusting a numerical parameter of the target device. In this way, the user can adjust the numerical parameters of the device by rotating the metal ring 420, so that the device can be controlled more intuitively and conveniently.
According to one embodiment, the interactive terminal 130 is a control panel.
The control panel is a terminal device having a display module, and may be implemented as any type of tablet computer, for example, but not limited thereto. The control panel is provided with an operating system and corresponding applications, and is used for driving the display module to display related data and receiving a control instruction input by a user. The Operating System may be, for example, Android, iOS, RTOS (Real Time Operating System), or the like, but is not limited thereto.
The control panel may be fixedly arranged in the house, for example, may be fixed to a wall of the entrance. The control panel may not have a fixed position and may be carried by the user for movement. As shown in fig. 3, the control panel is communicatively connected to the intelligent gateway 110, and data transmission between the two is possible. In an embodiment of the invention, a user may operate on a control panel to control devices in the home. When a user sends a control instruction for a target device through the control panel, the control panel sends the control instruction to the intelligent gateway 110, the intelligent gateway 110 then sends the control instruction to the target device through the corresponding sub-gateway 120, and the target device executes the control instruction, thereby completing control.
According to one embodiment, the control panel may be used in combination with a movement knob. The control panel is provided with a wireless communication module corresponding to the movable knob so as to establish wireless connection and communication with the movable knob. For example, bluetooth modules are arranged in the control panel and the moving knob, and accordingly, bluetooth connection can be established between the control panel and the moving knob and communication can be carried out.
The movable knob is detachably connected with the control panel. Fig. 5 is a perspective view illustrating a combination of the movement knob 400 and the control panel 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, when the moving knob 400 is connected to the control panel 500 in combination, the moving knob 400 is in contact with the control panel 500, the two can establish wireless connection and communicate, and the control panel 500 can wirelessly charge the moving knob 400. When the mobile knob 400 and the control panel 500 are not connected in combination, they are not in contact, and the control panel 500 cannot charge the mobile knob 400, but they may establish a wireless connection and communicate.
When the moving knob is not connected with the control panel combination, the user has two ways to control the equipment in the house:
1) as described above, the moving knob 400 is connected to a sensor, and a user operates the moving knob 400 to issue a control command, which is transmitted to the target device through the sensor, the intelligent gateway 110, and the corresponding sub-gateway 120 in sequence, so as to control the target device. After executing the control command, the target device generates feedback data, and the feedback data is sequentially transmitted to the mobile knob 400 through the corresponding sub-gateway 120, the intelligent gateway 110, and the sensor to be displayed, so as to inform the user of the execution result (whether the execution is successful) of the control command.
2) The user issues a control command by operating the control panel 500, and the control command is transmitted to the target device through the intelligent gateway 110 and the corresponding sub-gateway 120 to control the target device. After the target device executes the control command, it will generate feedback data, and the feedback data is sent to the control panel 500 through the corresponding sub-gateway 120 and the intelligent gateway 110 for displaying, so as to inform the user of the execution result of the control command.
When the movable knob 400 is connected to the control panel 500 in a combined manner, the control panel 500 can charge the movable knob 400, and at this time, the user has two ways to control the devices in the house:
1) the user issues a control command by operating the control panel 500, and the control command is transmitted to the target device through the intelligent gateway 110 and the corresponding sub-gateway 120 to control the target device. After the target device executes the control command, it will generate feedback data, and the feedback data is sent to the control panel 500 through the corresponding sub-gateway 120 and the intelligent gateway 110 for displaying, so as to inform the user of the execution result of the control command.
2) The user issues a control instruction by moving the knob 400, and the control instruction received by the knob 400 for the target device is sequentially sent to the target device through the control panel 500, the intelligent gateway 110 and the corresponding sub-gateway 120 to control the target device. After the target device executes the control command, it will generate feedback data, and the feedback data will be sent to the mobile knob 400 for display through the corresponding sub-gateway 120, the intelligent gateway 110 and the control panel 500 in sequence, so as to inform the user of the execution result of the control command.
When the control panel 500 is used in combination with the moving knob 400, since the display and touch areas of the control panel 500 are large, the user is not likely to cause an erroneous operation on the control panel 500. In addition, when the control panel 500 is connected to the moving knob 400, the control panel 500 may charge the moving knob 400, and the user may adjust the numerical parameters of the device more conveniently and intuitively by rotating the metal ring 420 on the moving knob 400.
In the above-described embodiments, the movement knob does not directly communicate with the smart gateway 110, but needs to communicate with the smart gateway 110 through a sensor or a control panel wirelessly connected thereto, in terms of mobility, flexibility, positioning accuracy, and power saving of the movement knob.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the interactive terminal 130 includes various types such as a mobile knob, a control panel, and a smart speaker. The user can realize the control to all intelligent equipment in the house through solitary removal knob, solitary control panel, combination, intelligent audio amplifier etc. of removing knob and control panel, and the interactive mode is various, can satisfy the user to intelligent equipment's regulation and control demand under different scenes.
