Of course, the server may also be used to implement other management and control functions for the control device, the electronic device, or the configuration device.

The gateway or the router is a device for interconnecting two networks, and in this embodiment, may be used to connect a local area network where the electronic device is located with another network.

The embodiment of the application can be applied to a scene for controlling the electronic equipment. When the electronic equipment is controlled through the prior art, time is often consumed to find the corresponding remote controller or move the remote controller to the position of the electronic equipment, so that the limitation on the control of the electronic equipment is large and the efficiency is low. The present application provides a control method of an electronic device. In this embodiment of the present application, the control device is capable of receiving a trigger operation from a user, and according to the trigger operation, determines a corresponding control signal, where the control signal may be directed to at least one electronic device belonging to at least one local area network, that is, may be used to control the at least one electronic device, and since the at least one electronic device is capable of communicating with the control device through a network, the electronic device in the at least one local area network may be controlled through the control signal. On one hand, the electronic equipment which is in network communication with the control equipment can be controlled through the control equipment without being limited by the distance position between the control equipment and the electronic equipment, the problem that the electronic equipment can be controlled only by using remote controllers which are in one-to-one correspondence with the electronic equipment is avoided, and the reliability and the efficiency of controlling the electronic equipment are improved; on the other hand, the at least one electronic device in the at least one local area network can be controlled through the corresponding control signal corresponding to the trigger operation, namely, the linkage control of the at least one electronic device in the at least one local area network is realized, and the control effect and efficiency are improved.

Example one

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a control method for an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, and the specific steps include:

step 101, determining a control signal for at least one electronic device according to a trigger operation on a control device, wherein the at least one electronic device belongs to at least one local area network, and the at least one electronic device and the control device communicate through a network.

In order to facilitate the control of the electronic equipment in at least one local area network through a control signal corresponding to a trigger operation, the limitation of a distance position between the electronic equipment and a remote controller is avoided, the linkage control of the at least one electronic equipment in at least one local area network is realized, the control reliability, the control effect and the control efficiency are improved, and the control signal aiming at the at least one electronic equipment can be determined according to the trigger operation of the control equipment.

The control device may be provided with a trigger device such as a button, a knob or a rocker, and accordingly, the user performs the trigger operation by pressing the button, twisting the knob or shaking the rocker, and the control device receives the trigger operation from the user through the trigger device. Certainly, in practical applications, the control device may also receive the trigger operation from the user through other manners, for example, a touch screen may be provided, and a virtual trigger device such as a virtual button, a knob, or a rocker is provided in the touch screen, so as to receive the trigger operation of the user through the touch screen; alternatively, the control device is provided with a microphone, and voice input of a user can be used as the trigger operation.

The control device may determine the control signal corresponding to the trigger operation in advance, for example, the control signal corresponding to the trigger operation is set before factory shipment. When receiving a trigger operation from a user, the control device can send out a trigger signal corresponding to the trigger operation.

The electronic device to which the control signal is directed may be configured in advance. For example, when the control device accesses a local area network in which the electronic device is located, a communication connection between the electronic device and the control device may be established, and a correspondence between a control signal of the control device and an operation instruction of the electronic device is determined through the configuration device or the electronic device, so that the electronic device is determined as the electronic device corresponding to the control device.

And step 102, controlling the electronic equipment through the control signal.

The electronic device can be controlled by the control signal in order to ensure control of the electronic device and to improve reliability of control of the electronic device.

The control signal can be provided for the electronic equipment, and the electronic equipment determines a corresponding operation instruction according to the control signal and operates according to the operation instruction; alternatively, the operation instruction for the electronic device may be determined according to the control signal, so that the operation instruction is provided to the electronic device, and the electronic device operates according to the operation instruction.

The electronic device may determine configuration information corresponding to the control signal according to a correspondence between the control signal and the configuration information configured in advance, and obtain an operation instruction for the electronic device from the configuration information.

Take the example of providing a control signal to an electronic device. When the control device and the electronic device are in the same local area network, that is, the control device can directly perform network communication with the electronic device, the control device can directly send the control signal to the electronic device; when the control device is not in the same local area network with the electronic device, the control device can send the control signal to the electronic device through the server. Of course, when the control device and the electronic device are in the same local area network, the control device may also send the control signal to the electronic device through the server.

Take the example of providing operating instructions to an electronic device. The control device can determine an operation instruction aiming at the electronic device according to the control signal and provide the operation instruction to the electronic device; alternatively, the control device may transmit a control signal to the server, and the server determines the operation quality for the electronic device according to the control signal and provides the operation instruction to the electronic device.

The manner in which the control device or the server provides the operation instruction to the electronic device may be the same as the manner in which the control device or the server provides the control signal to the electronic device, and is not described here any more.

Example two

Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a control method for an electronic device according to a second embodiment of the present application is shown, and the specific steps include:

step 201, the configuration device provides the local area network identifier and the network password to the control device.

In order to facilitate the control equipment to access the local area network where the electronic device is located, and further facilitate the control equipment to communicate with the electronic equipment and the electronic equipment so as to ensure that the subsequent control equipment can control the electronic equipment, the reliability of controlling the electronic equipment is improved, and the configuration equipment can provide the local area network identifier and the network password for the control equipment.

The local network identifier is used to identify a local network, and may include a string.

The local area network may include a network based on a WIFI (Wireless Fidelity) protocol, and accordingly, the local area network Identifier may include an SSID (Service Set Identifier) of the WIFI network, and the network password may include a password for the WIFI network. Of course, in practical applications, the local area network may also include a network based on other communication protocols, such as a network based on the smart home 433 protocol or the bluetooth protocol.

The smart home 433 protocol is a communication protocol based on a 433MHz (megahertz) wireless frequency band, and has the advantages of strong penetration capability, long propagation distance and the like.

The configuration device can send the local area network identifier and the network password to the control device based on communication protocols such as a WIFI protocol or a Bluetooth protocol.

In another alternative embodiment of the present application, the local area network may not have a password set, and therefore, the network password may not be provided to the control device.

In this embodiment of the application, optionally, in order to reduce an interaction process between devices and improve interaction efficiency, the configuration device is integrated on the control device.

For example, a control device integrated with a configuration device may be provided with a touch screen through which a local network identifier and a network password submitted by a user are received.

The control device may store the acquired local area network identifier and network password, so as to facilitate subsequent access to the corresponding local area network.

Step 202, the control device accesses a local area network corresponding to the local area network identifier according to the local area network identifier and the network password.

In order to facilitate the control equipment to access a local area network where the electronic device is located, and further facilitate the control equipment to communicate with the electronic device and the electronic device, it is ensured that the subsequent control equipment can control the electronic device, the reliability of controlling the electronic device is improved, and the control equipment can access the local area network.

The control device can detect the local area network according to the local area network identifier, and access the local area network through the network password.

In another optional embodiment of the present application, if the local area network does not set the password, the control device may also directly access the corresponding local area network according to the local area network identifier.

Step 203, the control device detects the electronic device in the local area network, and provides the detected electronic device to the configuration device.

In order to facilitate the subsequent configuration device to configure the electronic device to which the control signal is directed and the control mode of the electronic device, and improve the reliability of the subsequent control of the electronic device, the control device may provide the electronic device detected in the local area network to the configuration device.

The control device may detect the electronic device, obtain an electronic device identifier of the electronic device and an operation instruction for the electronic device, and send the electronic device identifier and the operation instruction to the configuration device.

Of course, in practical applications, in order to facilitate the configuration device to configure the electronic device to which the control signal is directed and the control manner of the electronic device, and improve the reliability of subsequent control over the electronic device, the control device may further provide other information to the configuration device, for example, the control device may provide the trigger operation identifier of the control device and the corresponding control signal to the configuration device.

Through the above steps, the configuration device obtains information such as the electronic device identifier, the operation instruction for the electronic device, the trigger operation identifier, and the control signal through the control device, and in another optional embodiment of the present application, the configuration device, the control device, and the electronic device may perform network communication with the server, so that the configuration device may obtain information such as the electronic device identifier, the operation instruction for the electronic device, the trigger operation identifier, and the control signal through the server.

Step 204, the configuration device receives configuration information submitted for a trigger operation, where the configuration information includes an electronic device identifier and an operation instruction for an electronic device corresponding to the electronic device identifier.

In order to ensure that at least one electronic device is controlled by triggering operation in the subsequent implementation and avoid the problem that the electronic device can be controlled only by the remote controllers corresponding to the electronic devices one by one, so that the reliability and the efficiency of controlling the electronic device are improved, the electronic device for which the triggering operation is directed and the operation instruction of the electronic device can be configured by configuration equipment.

The configuration device can display the triggering operation identifier, the electronic device identifier and the running instruction aiming at the corresponding electronic device to a user, receive the selection operation of the user on the electronic device identifier and the running instruction aiming at the triggering operation, and take the electronic device identifier and the running instruction selected by the user as configuration information submitted aiming at the triggering operation.

The selection operation is an operation of selecting the electronic equipment identifier or the operation instruction by the user.

For example, configuring the device to display the trigger operation identifier includes configuring the trigger operation identifier 1: "once button 1 is pressed for a short time", trigger operation identifier 2: "push button 1 twice for short", trigger operation 3: the long press of the button 2 displays the electronic equipment identification in the local area network home and the operation instruction of the corresponding electronic equipment, wherein the operation instruction comprises the brightness levels of the indoor lamp 1 on/off: 1/2/3 color: white/light yellow/light blue "," water heater on/off temperature rating: 1/2/3 "," air conditioner 1 on/off temperature rating: 1/2/3 and the on/off working mode of the electric cooker: timing of steam/boil/fry appointment: 10/20/30/60 (min) ". The configuration device receives configuration information submitted for a trigger operation as shown in table 1 below. The configuration information "brightness level 1 on 2 color of the indoor lamp" corresponding to the trigger operation identifier 1: for example, the electronic device corresponding to "press the button 1 once" includes the room lamp 1, and the operation instruction for the room lamp 1 includes "on", "brightness level: 2 "and" color: white ".

TABLE 1

The configuration device may obtain the electronic device identifier in at least one local area network and the operation instruction for the corresponding electronic device through the above steps, and add the electronic device identifier and the operation instruction for the corresponding electronic device to the configuration information corresponding to the specified trigger operation, so that the trigger signal corresponding to the trigger operation can be specific to the at least one electronic device, and the at least one electronic device belongs to the at least one local area network.

For example, the configuration device also displays the identification of the electronic device in the local area network "company" and the operation instruction of the corresponding electronic device includes "indoor lamp 2 on/off brightness level: 1/2/3 color: white/light yellow/light blue "and" air conditioner 2 on/off temperature rating: 1/2/3". The configuration device receives the configuration information submitted for the trigger operation as shown in table 2 below. As can be seen from comparison with table 1, the configuration information corresponding to the trigger operation identifier 1 and the trigger operation identifier 2 further includes the electronic device in the local area network "company" and an operation instruction for the electronic device.

TABLE 2

Step 205, the configuration device provides a correspondence between the control signal and the configuration information to at least one electronic device and/or server.

In order to obtain an operation instruction for the electronic device according to the control signal corresponding to the trigger operation, so that the electronic device operates according to the operation instruction and reliability of controlling the electronic device is ensured, the configuration device may provide a correspondence between the control signal and the configuration information to at least one electronic device and/or a server.

The control signal is a control signal corresponding to the trigger operation.

The configuration device may send the correspondence between the control signal and the configuration information to the server, and/or send the correspondence between the control signal and the configuration information to the electronic device through the server, where the electronic device is the electronic device to which the control signal is directed.

For example, if the trigger operation 1 "press the button 1 twice for a short time" corresponds to the control signal 1, the control signal 1 may be compared with "brightness level of on-state of the room lamp 1: 2, color: white; the corresponding relation that the indoor lamp 2 is turned off is sent to the server, and/or the indoor lamp 1 and the indoor lamp 2.

In addition, since the control signal may be for one or more electronic devices, and the configuration information corresponding to the control signal may include an operation instruction for one or more electronic devices, when the correspondence relationship between the control signal and the configuration information is provided to the electronic devices, the complete configuration information may be sent to each electronic device to which the control signal is directed, or the configuration information may be deleted for each electronic device in addition to the operation instruction for the electronic device, and the configuration information after processing may be sent to the electronic device.

In another optional embodiment of the present application, the configuration device may provide the control device with a correspondence between the control signal and the configuration information.

Step 206, the control device determines a control signal for at least one electronic device according to a trigger operation on the control device, wherein the at least one electronic device belongs to at least one local area network, and the at least one electronic device and the control device communicate through the network.

For a manner of determining a control signal for at least one electronic device according to a trigger operation on a control device, reference may be made to the related description in the foregoing, and details are not repeated here.

In this embodiment of the application, optionally, since one control signal can be specific to at least one electronic device, so as to meet a control requirement for the electronic device in a certain scenario, in order to enable the control device to send more control signals, thereby implementing various control modes for the electronic device, meeting the control requirement for more scenarios, and further improving an effect of controlling the electronic device, the control device is provided with at least one triggering device, and accordingly, the control signal corresponding to the triggering device can be acquired according to the triggering device to which the triggering operation belongs. That is, the trigger operations of different trigger devices may correspond to different control signals, respectively, so as to control different electronic devices, or control the same electronic device differently.

For example, "button 1" and "button 2" are different trigger devices, and the trigger operation for "button 1" and the trigger operation for "button 2" may correspond to different control signals, respectively, by "pressing button 1 once for a short time".

In this embodiment of the application, optionally, since one control signal can be directed to at least one electronic device, so as to meet a control requirement for the electronic device in a certain scene, in order to enable the control device to send more control signals, thereby implementing multiple control modes for the electronic device, meeting the control requirement for more scenes, and further improving an effect of controlling the electronic device, the control device may obtain the control signal corresponding to the operation type according to the operation type of the trigger operation. That is, the trigger operations of different operation types for the same trigger device may respectively correspond to different control signals, so as to control different electronic devices, or control the same electronic device differently.

For example, the "button 1", the "button 1 is pressed once" and the "button 1 is pressed twice", respectively, may correspond to different control signals.

As can be seen from the above description, if the control device is provided with M triggering devices, and each triggering device can receive triggering operations of operation types in N, the control device can send M × N control signals, and each control signal can correspond to different configuration information, so as to meet control requirements for the electronic device in different scenarios.

When the server acquires the control signal, the server may determine configuration information corresponding to the control signal, determine, according to the configuration information, an electronic device to which the control signal is directed and an operation instruction for the electronic device, and further send the operation instruction to the corresponding electronic device.

For example, if the server receives a control signal from the control device as a control signal 1, the configuration information corresponding to the control signal 1 is obtained from the correspondence between the control signal and the configuration information according to the control signal 1, and the configuration information includes "brightness level of on indoor lamp 1: 2, color: white; the room lamp 2 is off.
