As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent controller, which may include: the system comprises a touch sensing switch module 101, a communication interface module 102 and a processing control module 103;

wherein the touch-sensitive switch module 101 includes a touch-sensitive panel;

the touch sensing switch module 101 is configured to send a touch signal to the processing control module 103 when the touch signal is sensed, where the touch signal is generated by an external user touching any part of the touch sensing panel;

the communication interface module 102 is configured to connect to at least two external lighting devices, so that each lighting device is connected to the intelligent controller;

the processing control module 103 is configured to configure an association relationship between the touch sensing panel and at least two first lighting devices according to configuration information input from the outside, where the at least two lighting devices include the at least two first lighting devices; receiving a touch signal sent by the touch sensing switch module 101; when the received touch signal is an effective touch signal, inquiring the on-off state of the first lighting equipment associated with the touch sensing panel through the communication interface module 102; when the on-off state of each first lighting device is off, the communication interface module 102 controls each first lighting device to be on; when the on-off state of at least one first lighting device is on, the communication interface module 102 controls each first lighting device to be off.

The intelligent controller provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises: when a touch signal is sensed, the touch signal is sent to a touch sensing switch module of the processing control module, and the touch signal is generated by an external user touching any part of a touch sensing panel included in the touch sensing switch module; the communication interface module is connected with at least two external lighting devices; the processing control module configures the association relationship between the touch sensing panel and at least two first lighting devices according to externally input configuration information, and inquires the on-off state of the lighting devices associated with the touch sensing panel through the communication interface module when the received touch signal is an effective touch signal; and when the on-off states of the first lighting equipment are all off, controlling the first lighting equipment to be all on, otherwise, controlling the first lighting equipment to be all off. The embodiment of the invention can facilitate the user to simultaneously realize the opening or closing of a plurality of lighting devices, and the user experience is better.

In the embodiment of the invention, when a user needs to control a plurality of lighting devices at the same time, the association relationship between the lighting devices and the touch sensing panel can be configured in advance. Of course, the association relationship can be changed according to the user's requirement. In general, corresponding configuration information can be input as required to update and replace the association relationship of the current configuration.

In order to realize the unified control of the lighting devices based on the touch sensing panel, the lighting devices should be connected to the intelligent controller (or called intelligent control panel) in advance, and particularly, the device connection can be realized through a communication interface module on the intelligent controller. As such, the light devices associated with the touch sensitive panel may be part or all of a plurality of light devices that are interfaced into the intelligent controller.

In order to realize the on-off control of a plurality of lighting devices, in the embodiment of the invention, a user only needs to touch any part of the touch sensing panel, which is different from the conventional realization mode of pressing a corresponding switch button. Generally, the portion that can be touched by the user can be exposed on the front panel (or operation panel) of the intelligent controller. Typically, the front panel may be opposite to the wall when the smart controller is mounted on the wall.

When a user touches the touch sensing panel, the touch sensing switch module can sense a touch signal, and if the touch information is an effective touch signal, on-off control can be performed on each lighting device associated with the touch sensing panel. Specifically, when the lighting devices are all turned off currently, the lighting devices can be turned on uniformly after effective touch of a user, otherwise, the lighting devices can be turned off uniformly as long as the turned-on lighting devices exist in the lighting devices.

For example, fig. 2 shows a front view of a smart controller, showing a front panel of the smart controller, which may be square in shape. As shown in fig. 2, the metal key sheet may be located on the right side of the front panel of the intelligent controller, and the display screen of the intelligent controller is located on the left side of the front panel, and the areas of the two may be equal. The touch control result of the lighting equipment can be displayed on the display screen in real time so that the user can visually check the result.

Based on the above, the intelligent controller provided in the embodiment of the present invention at least has the following features:

(1) the user only needs to touch the touch sensing panel, and the on-off control of the lighting equipment can be realized. Compared with the pressing of the switch button, the use experience of the touch control mode by the user is better.

(2) A user only needs to touch any part of the touch sensing panel, and unified on-off control of the plurality of lighting devices can be achieved. In the prior art, the user needs to press a plurality of corresponding switch buttons respectively. Compared with the mode of pressing for multiple times respectively, the operation mode of one-time triggering is more concise and efficient.

(3) The touch sensing panel is only one, and a user does not need to memorize the corresponding relation between the touch sensing panel and the lighting equipment and only needs to touch the touch sensing panel once, so that the full opening or the full closing of the corresponding lighting equipment can be realized. The switch buttons in the prior art are multiple and are respectively used for controlling different lighting equipment, so that a user needs to memorize the corresponding relation between the switch buttons and the lighting equipment, and false triggering operation is easy to occur.

(4) The incidence relation between the touch sensing panel and the lighting equipment can be flexibly adjusted according to needs so as to be suitable for different practical application requirements. In the prior art, the association relationship between the switch button and the lighting device is fixed.

In summary, the light on-off control is the most frequently used control function in the building, and the on-off states of a plurality of lights are switched by performing touch operation on any part of the touch sensing panel.

In one embodiment of the invention, other controllable devices may also be connected to the intelligent controller, in addition to the lighting devices described above. In this way, the user can also configure the association of the touch-sensitive panel with several other controllable devices as desired. For example, after the user touches the touch-sensitive panel, if all the associated lighting devices need to be turned on/off, all the associated other controllable devices can be turned on/off at the same time.

In detail, the equipment facilities of the intelligent controller can be accessed through the communication interface module, and the equipment facilities can be a dimming lamp, a lamp strip, an air conditioner, a fresh air, a heating and ventilating device, a curtain, a window pushing device, an entrance guard, a sweeper, an air purifier and the like.

In an embodiment of the present invention, to implement access of different types of equipment facilities, the communication interface module may include a KNX bus interface, an RS485 bus interface, a DMX512 bus interface, a DALI bus interface, an ethernet wired interface, a WIFI interface, a bluetooth interface, a ZigBee interface, and other intelligent building communication interfaces, and supports an apple HomeKit protocol, an aristo IoT protocol, an MQTT protocol, and other intelligent building control interface protocols on software.

For example, the KNX bus interface may be connected to a floor heating system and an access control system; the RS485 bus interface can be connected with an electric curtain and a fresh air system; the DALI bus interface can be connected with a main lamp and a corner lamp; the DMX512 bus interface can be connected with a lamp belt and an atmosphere lamp.

In detail, different types of equipment facilities may access the respective communication interfaces to enable connection with the intelligent controller. In detail, after the equipment facilities access the corresponding communication interfaces, the equipment facilities can be accessed to the intelligent controller by performing initialization configuration through corresponding interface configuration protocol software supported by the equipment. The process control module may then control the facility to which each communication interface is connected.

In the embodiment of the invention, the interface type and the protocol type can support most of intelligent household equipment facilities in the market at present, and the equipment facilities compatible with the interfaces and the protocols can be accessed to the intelligent controller through a building integrated wiring system or a wireless communication interface in the installation stage. The access of accessible intelligent control ware is controlled hundreds of interior equipment facilities of building up, realizes highly integrated intelligent control. Therefore, the intelligent controller can be applied to not only the home environment but also other building environments.

Because can adopt all kinds of buses or wireless mode to be connected with equipment, and do not need every equipment all to link directly with intelligent control ware, so can reduce system wiring degree of difficulty and work load when equipment inserts by a wide margin, also can obtain reducing by a wide margin with the degree of difficulty and the work load of work such as switch box installation, system maintenance and upgrading that system wiring is relevant.

In addition, the intelligent control ware accessible KNX bus interface's the weak current power supply of 30V, interface voltages such as the RS485 bus of other accesses also all belong to the weak current scope, do not have the strong current of 220V and insert, so can effectively avoid equipment electric leakage to hinder people's safety risk.

In an embodiment of the present invention, to illustrate a possible implementation manner of determining whether a touch signal is valid or not, the processing control module 103 is configured to, when receiving the touch signal, determine whether a time difference between a current time and a last time when the valid touch signal is received is not less than a preset time threshold, and if so, determine that the received touch signal is a valid touch signal.

For example, the predetermined time threshold may be set to 0.1s, 0.5s, 1s, etc., as needed. If the interval time between two adjacent touch operations of the user is too short, the subsequent touch operation can be regarded as a false touch.

In detail, the processing control module can record the current time when the signal is received every time the touch signal is received. Therefore, for the touch signals received later, whether the currently received touch signals are valid or not can be accurately judged based on the time when the last valid touch signal is received, so that invalid touch signals caused by false triggering are filtered out, and the invalid touch signals are not processed. By filtering out the invalid touch signal, the touch control operation of the user can be more accurate.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the comparison is performed with the time when the valid touch signal was received last time, and based on the similar implementation principle, in another embodiment of the present invention, the comparison may also be performed with the time when the touch signal was received last time, but not limited to the valid touch signal.

For example, the touch sensing switch module can sense a touch signal at any position on the surface of the touch sensing panel and forward the touch signal to the processing control module, and the processing control module records the start time and the end time of each touch operation after receiving the touch input signal. And when the time interval from the starting time of a certain touch operation to the ending time of the last touch operation is smaller than a specified time threshold, considering the touch operation as a single error touch, and otherwise, considering the touch operation as a single effective touch. After receiving the effective touch signal, the processing control module can inquire the on-off states of all the lighting equipment associated with the touch sensing panel through the communication interface module. When at least one of the light equipment is on, sending an operation instruction of turning off all the light equipment associated with the touch sensing panel to the communication interface module, and after receiving the operation instruction, sending a turning-off control signal to the corresponding light equipment to complete turning off all the light equipment. And when all the light equipment is inquired to be off, sending an operation instruction of turning on all the light equipment associated with the touch sensing panel to the communication interface module, and after receiving the operation instruction, sending a turning-on control signal to the corresponding light equipment to complete turning on all the light equipment.

In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to fig. 2, the touch sensing panel includes a metal key sheet; wherein an outer surface of the metal key sheet is positioned on the front panel of the intelligent controller, so that an external user can touch any part of the outer surface;

the touch sensing switch module 101 is configured to monitor a capacitance change condition of the metal key board; determining that a touch signal is sensed when the monitored change in capacitance is indicative of an external user touching the external surface.

In detail, the touch sensing panel may be a metal key sheet (or called metal panel), so that when a user touches or touches the metal key sheet with a finger or other skin, that is, before or after the touch, a capacitance charge change of the metal key sheet may be induced. Based on this, the touch-sensitive switch module can monitor the capacitance change of the metal key-press plate in real time, and sense the touch signal when monitoring the capacitance change of the metal key-press plate caused by the user touching the metal key-press plate.

Similarly, for example, when the user finger touches the metal key sheet, the capacitance charge change of the metal key sheet can be also caused before and after the user finger leaves the metal key sheet.

Based on this, in an embodiment of the present invention, the implementation manner of determining whether the touch signal is valid may further be: the processing control module respectively records the starting time and the ending time of each touch of the metal key board by a user, when a touch signal is not received for the first time, the time interval between the starting time of the current touch operation and the recorded ending time of the last touch operation can be calculated, if the time interval is not larger than a corresponding preset time threshold value, the touch is considered to be an invalid touch, otherwise, the touch is an effective touch. For example, the predetermined time threshold may be set to 0.1s, 0.5s, etc., as needed.
