Those skilled in the art will understand, however, that they are merely illustrative of exemplary ways in which the disclosure may be practiced and not exhaustive. Furthermore, the figures are not necessarily to scale, some features may be exaggerated to show details of particular components.

In order to enable different home devices to simultaneously execute corresponding actions so as to improve user experience, the home devices may be organized in the same multicast group. Thereafter, an instruction corresponding to the action may be sent to the multicast group to control the home devices to perform the action at the same time. However, the grouping information of the home devices in the multicast group is usually stored in the home device itself, and the user cannot directly view the grouping information, and the operation and management of the home devices are implemented by writing instructions, which makes the operation and management difficult and makes the user experience poor.

In order to solve the above problem, the present disclosure provides a home multicast control method, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the method may include:

in step S110, the cloud device 100 receives a terminal multicast control command from the terminal device 200.

The terminal device 200 may include an intelligent terminal such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, and a personal computer. The user may conveniently operate and manage the multicast group including the home device 400 through an application program (APP) loaded on the terminal device 200, for example, may perform operations such as adding, deleting, querying, modifying, etc. on the multicast group or the home devices 400 in the multicast group. The user may provide a user instruction by operating a corresponding button on the APP through actions such as clicking, sliding, or the like, or by inputting a corresponding command, and the terminal device 200 converts the user instruction into a terminal multicast control instruction, and sends the terminal multicast control instruction to the cloud device 100 through a Message Queue (MQ)600, or the like. The cloud device 100 may receive a terminal multicast control instruction from the terminal device 200 to call a corresponding Application Program Interface (API), so as to complete a corresponding operation.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the home multicast control method may further include:

In step S120, the cloud device 100 controls the gateway device 300 to configure the multicast state of the home device 400 and controls the database 500 to configure the first multicast data according to the terminal multicast control instruction.

Wherein the first multicast data is associated with a terminal multicast control instruction. The gateway device 300 may organize one or more home devices 400 in a local area network in which the gateway device 300 is located to conveniently control the one or more home devices 400 communicatively connected to the gateway device 300. The terminal multicast control instruction may include a terminal adding instruction, a terminal deleting instruction, a terminal home device action instruction, a terminal group leader setting instruction, and the like, so as to implement functions of adding a multicast group/home device, deleting a multicast group/home device, controlling home devices in at least one multicast group to synchronously execute an action and set a group leader home device, and the like, which will be described in detail later. The cloud device 100 may configure the multicast state of the home device 400 through the gateway device 300, so as to control the home device 400. The cloud device 100 may further control the database 500 to configure the first multicast data, so as to record a change of a possible multicast state of the home device 400 in time, so as to monitor and manage the home device 400.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the method may further include:

in step S130, the cloud device 100 updates the first multicast data to the second multicast data according to the feedback of the gateway device 300.

Wherein the second multicast data is related to the configured multicast state of the home device 400. Since communication links among the cloud device 100, the gateway device 300, and the home device 400 may fail, a situation that corresponding operations are not successfully executed may occur in the process of implementing the terminal multicast control instruction. Therefore, the cloud device 100 may further update the first multicast data in the database to the second multicast data according to the feedback of the gateway device 300, so as to ensure that the second multicast data in the database can accurately reflect the current multicast state of the home device 400, which is convenient for the operation and management of the user.

in step S140, the cloud device 100 controls the terminal device 200 to display at least a portion of the second multicast data.

Specifically, the cloud device 100 may send part of the second multicast data or all of the second multicast data to the terminal device 200 according to a preset setting or the like, so that the terminal device 200 displays at least part of the received second multicast data to the user. The user may further operate and manage the home device 400 by viewing information, such as the current multicast state of the home device 400, displayed in the APP of the terminal device 200.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a user may conveniently and quickly implement operations on the home device 400 and the multicast group including the home device 400 through the APP on the terminal device 200, and particularly, may complete corresponding operations on a visual APP interface, so that the interaction between the user and the home device is more friendly, and user experience is effectively improved.

Hereinafter, implementation processes of several operations will be specifically described. It is understood that other operations may be implemented by the home multicast control method of the present disclosure with reference to these operation procedures.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal multicast control instruction may include a terminal addition instruction, where the terminal addition instruction is related to an operation of adding a new multicast group or adding a home device to an existing multicast group.

In some examples, before processing the terminal addition instruction, the cloud device 100 may further complete a series of APIs including screening the home devices 400 supporting multicast from the device list of the user, determining a current multicast state of the home devices, and querying grouping information of the user. The cloud device 100 may further control the terminal device 200 to display the screened home devices 400 supporting multicast, the current multicast state of the home devices 400, the grouping information of each existing multicast group, and the like, so that the user can conveniently check and perform subsequent adding operations.

As shown in fig. 3, controlling, by the cloud device 100 according to the terminal multicast control instruction, the configuration of the multicast state of the home device 400 by the gateway device 300 may include:

step S121a, the cloud end device 100 acquires, according to the terminal addition instruction, multicast addition information corresponding to the addition object;

step S121b, the cloud end device 100 generates a cloud end adding instruction according to the multicast adding information;

in step S121c, the cloud end device 100 sends the cloud end adding instruction to the gateway device 300, so that the gateway device 300 adds an adding object.

The added object may include a first multicast group and/or a second home device, and correspondingly, the multicast adding information may include a first multicast identifier and a first home device list, and/or a second home device identifier and a second multicast identifier.

Specifically, when the user only wants to add a new multicast group, the addition object includes a first multicast group, and the multicast addition information includes a first multicast identifier indicating the first multicast group and a first home device list indicating all first home devices included in the first multicast group. When the user only wants to add the new home device to the existing multicast group, the addition object includes the second home device, and the multicast addition information includes a second home device identifier indicating the second home device and a second multicast identifier indicating a second multicast group in which the second home device is to be included. It is understood that, when a user desires to add both the multicast group and the home device, the addition object may include a first multicast group and a second home device, and accordingly, the multicast addition information may include a first multicast identifier and a first home device list, and a second home device identifier and a second multicast identifier. Of course, the user may add multiple multicast groups and/or multiple home devices.

Then, the cloud device 100 generates a cloud adding instruction according to the multicast adding information, and sends the cloud adding instruction to the gateway device 300, so that the gateway device 300 can add the adding object.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, the controlling, by the cloud device according to the terminal multicast control instruction, the configuration of the first multicast data by the database may include:

in step S121d, the cloud device 100 stores the multicast addition information as the first multicast data in the database 500.

Wherein the first multicast data is configured to be in an undetermined state. The cloud device 100 may control the terminal device 200 to temporarily not display the first multicast data in the undetermined state, so as to avoid that the information displayed by the terminal device 200 is incorrect in the case of unsuccessful addition.

Then, the cloud device 100 may update the first multicast data to the second multicast data according to the feedback of the gateway device 300, which may specifically include:

the cloud device 100 monitors the gateway device 300;

when the cloud device 100 receives the addition success feedback from the gateway device 300, updating the multicast addition information corresponding to the successfully added addition object in the first multicast data to a determined state as second multicast data;

When the cloud device 100 does not receive the feedback from the gateway device 300 or receives the addition failure feedback from the gateway device 300, the multicast addition information corresponding to the unsuccessfully added addition object in the first multicast data is deleted.

The second multicast data is generated according to the feedback condition of the gateway device 300, and may reflect an accurate multicast state of the multicast group and the home devices 400 therein. And the cloud device 100 may further control the terminal device 200 to display at least a portion of the second multicast data, so as to facilitate viewing and management by the user.

For example, in the case where there are a plurality of added objects, the first multicast data will include information on all the added objects. In the process of updating the first multicast data to the second multicast data, if the gateway device 300 feeds back that all the added objects have been successfully added, the multicast addition information corresponding to all the added objects of the first multicast data is updated to a determined state to be used as the second multicast data (in general, the first multicast data may be directly used as the second multicast data as a whole); if the gateway device 300 feeds back that only a part of the added objects are successfully added (meanwhile, no information related to other added objects is fed back or addition failure of other added objects is fed back), the multicast addition information corresponding to the successfully added objects of the first multicast data will be updated to a certain state, and the multicast addition information corresponding to other unsuccessfully added objects will be deleted as the second multicast data (normally, the part of the first multicast data in the certain state that is not deleted may be regarded as the second multicast data); if all the added objects are not successfully added according to the feedback situation of the gateway device 300, the multicast addition information of the first multicast data corresponding to all the added objects will be deleted (normally, the second multicast data does not include any information corresponding to the added objects or no second multicast data is generated).

In a specific example, as shown in fig. 4, when the cloud device 100 and the gateway device 300 are ready, the user may enter the APP loaded on the terminal device 200 and click the "add group" button in the upper right corner of the APP to add the multicast group and/or the home device 400. In this particular example, a process is shown for a user to add a new multicast group (e.g., a first multicast group).

As shown in fig. 5, the terminal device 200 may display a list of home devices 400 supporting multicast under the screened user account under the control of the cloud device 100, and the user may select a corresponding home device 400 according to a requirement and add the home device 400 into a first multicast group (group).

After completing the selection of the home device 400, the user may click on the save button, which pops up the interface as shown in fig. 6. On this interface, the user may define a name for the added first multicast group to facilitate subsequent operations. This added first multicast group may be considered a virtual home device that is a twin image of one or more first home devices selected by the user. In subsequent operations, a user can control the virtual home devices to realize one-key synchronous control on all the first home devices in the corresponding first multicast group.

Thereafter, the user can click on the "save" button shown in the upper right corner of FIG. 6, and proceed to complete the add operation. At this time, the APP on the terminal device 200 may send the terminal addition instruction to the cloud device 100 to call a corresponding API, so as to add the first multicast group.

Further, the cloud device 100 may store, in the database, the multicast addition information including the first multicast identifier indicating the first multicast group and the first home device list indicating all the first home devices included in the first multicast group, and continue to wait for the feedback of the gateway device 300. At this time, the first multicast identifier in the database and the first home device list are all in an undetermined state, and the cloud device 100 may filter out the first multicast data in the undetermined state, so that the APP does not display these data.

Then, if the cloud device 100 monitors that the feedback of the gateway device 300 is successful through the message queue 600, the cloud device 100 may update the corresponding multicast addition information in the database 500 according to the feedback information, so that the first multicast identifier and the first home device list corresponding to the successfully added first multicast group are in a determined state, and the information in the determined state is displayed on the APP by the control terminal device 200.

In a normal situation, the feedback of the gateway device 300 is substantially synchronized with the command sent by the cloud device 100, so that the user is given an experience that the user can immediately check that a group message in the form of a virtual home device is generated on the APP after clicking the "save" button to complete the creation of the first multicast group, as shown in fig. 7. Further, the user may operate the virtual home device (the first multicast group) through an APP interface.

In another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal multicast control instruction may include a terminal deletion instruction, and the terminal deletion instruction may be used to delete the entire multicast group or delete part of the home devices 400 in the multicast group.

As shown in fig. 8, in this embodiment, the controlling, by the cloud device 100 according to the terminal multicast control instruction, the multicast state of the home device 400 configured by the gateway device 300 may include:

step S122a, the cloud end device 100 obtains, according to the terminal deletion instruction, multicast deletion information corresponding to the deletion object;

step S122b, the cloud device 100 performs loop traversal on the home device 400 according to the multicast deletion information, and generates a cloud deletion instruction;

in step S122c, the cloud device 100 sends the cloud delete instruction to the gateway device 300, so that the gateway device deletes the delete object.

The deletion object may include a third multicast group and/or a fourth home device, and correspondingly, the multicast deletion information may include a third multicast identifier and/or a fourth home device identifier, where the third multicast identifier is configured to indicate the third multicast group, and the fourth home device identifier is configured to indicate the fourth home device.

As shown in fig. 3, the configuration of the first multicast data by the cloud device 100 according to the terminal multicast control instruction by the control database 500 may include:

in step S122d, the cloud device 100 updates the multicast deletion information in the database 500 to an undetermined state as the first multicast data.

For example, in the case where there are a plurality of deletion objects, the first multicast data will include information on all deletion objects in an undetermined state. In the process of updating the first multicast data to the second multicast data, if the gateway device 300 feeds back that all the deletion objects have been successfully deleted, the multicast deletion information of the first multicast data corresponding to all the deletion objects will be deleted (normally, the second multicast data does not include any information corresponding to the deletion objects or no second multicast data is generated); if the gateway device 300 feeds back that only a part of the deletion objects are successfully deleted (meanwhile, no information related to other deletion objects is fed back or deletion failure of other deletion objects is fed back), the multicast addition information corresponding to the successfully deleted deletion objects of the first multicast data will be deleted, and the multicast deletion information corresponding to other deletion objects that are not successfully deleted will be updated to a certain state as the second multicast data (normally, the part of the first multicast data that is not deleted and updated to the certain state may be the second multicast data); if all the deletion objects are not successfully deleted according to the feedback condition of the gateway device 300, the multicast deletion information of the first multicast data corresponding to all the deletion objects is updated to a certain state (normally, the first multicast data as a whole can be directly used as the second multicast data).

Specifically, when the user only wishes to delete the multicast group, the deletion object may include the third multicast group, and the multicast addition information may include a third multicast identification indicating the third multicast group. When the user only wants to delete a certain home device, the deletion object may include a fourth home device, and the multicast deletion information may include a fourth home device identifier indicating the fourth home device. It can be understood that, when the user desires to delete both the multicast group and the home device, the deletion object may include a third multicast group and a fourth home device, and correspondingly, the multicast deletion information may include a third multicast identifier and a fourth home device identifier. Of course, the user may delete multiple multicast groups and/or multiple home devices.

Then, the cloud device 100 updates the first multicast data to the second multicast data according to the feedback of the gateway device 300, which may specifically include:

the cloud device 100 monitors the gateway device 300;

when the cloud device 100 receives the deletion success feedback from the gateway device 300, deleting the multicast deletion information corresponding to the deletion object that is deleted successfully in the first multicast data;

when the cloud device 100 does not receive the feedback from the gateway device 300 or receives the deletion failure feedback from the gateway device 300, the multicast deletion information corresponding to the deletion object that is not successfully deleted in the first multicast data is updated to a certain state, which is used as the second multicast data.

In a specific example, as shown in fig. 9, a user may enter a detail page of a multicast group through an APP, click a "delete" button to delete the multicast group and/or the home devices 400, or click a pen-shaped icon to select the multicast group and/or the home devices 400 to be deleted, so as to implement batch deletion.

The APP may also call an API for deleting the multicast group and/or the home device, so that the cloud device 100 operates the database 500 to configure the state of the corresponding multicast group and/or home device to an undetermined state, and monitor the feedback of the gateway device 300. If the cloud device 100 monitors that the feedback from the message queue 600 is successful, the cloud device 100 deletes the corresponding multicast group and/or the home device from the database 500, so as to control the terminal device 200 to no longer display the deletion object (including the multicast group, the home device, or both) that has been successfully deleted.

In yet another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal multicast control instruction may include a terminal home device action instruction, where the terminal home device action instruction is used to control home devices in the multicast group to synchronously execute a corresponding action.

In some embodiments, before processing the terminal home device action instruction, the cloud device 100 may determine a current multicast state of the home device 400 and control the terminal device 200 to display the current multicast state of the home device 400, and/or determine an executable action of the home device 400 and control the terminal device 200 to display the executable action of the home device 400, so as to facilitate operation and management of the user.

As shown in fig. 10, the controlling, by the cloud device 100 according to the terminal multicast control instruction, the configuring, by the gateway device 300, the multicast state of the home device 400 may include:

step S123a, the cloud device 100 obtains a fifth multicast identifier, and an action parameter and a target attribute value of a fifth multicast group indicated by the fifth multicast identifier according to the terminal home device action instruction;

step S123b, the cloud device 100 generates a first cloud action instruction according to the fifth multicast identifier, the action parameter, and the target attribute value;

in step S123c, the cloud device 100 sends the first cloud action instruction to the gateway device 300, so that the gateway device 300 controls the home devices 400 of the fifth multicast group to execute the action.

The home devices 400 in the same fifth multicast group are generally similar devices, and have the same or similar executable actions, action parameters, and attribute values, such as lighting devices, and the attribute values include brightness, color temperature, and the like. In this case, the actions of the home devices in the same fifth multicast group may be synchronously controlled and synchronously performed.

In this exemplary embodiment, the cloud device 100 may also store the attribute value of the home device corresponding to the terminal home device action instruction as first multicast data in the database 500, update the first multicast data to second multicast data capable of reflecting the actual attribute value of the home device after receiving the feedback of the gateway device 300, and control the terminal device 200 to display at least part of the second multicast data to help the user to know the current state of the home device in time.

In a specific example, the APP may first call the API of the cloud device 100 to obtain executable actions of the home devices in the multicast group, and present the executable actions or executable instructions corresponding to the executable actions on the APP in a graphical form (e.g., buttons, switches, sliders, etc.) to facilitate operations of the user.

The user provides a corresponding user instruction to the APP by clicking a button, switching, dragging a slider, and the like. Then, the APP calls a corresponding API of the cloud device 100, so that the cloud device 100 generates a corresponding first cloud action instruction, and sends the first cloud action instruction to the gateway device 300, so that the gateway device 300 operates the home devices 400 in the multicast group to execute corresponding actions at the same time.

In still another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a group leader household device may also be set for the multicast group, so as to synchronously change the attribute values of other household devices in the entire multicast group according to the change of the attribute values of the group leader household device. Then, in the case that the terminal device 200 is not available (for example, the terminal device 200 is not nearby), the effect of controlling the entire multicast group can be achieved by controlling the group leader household device. The functional attributes of the group leader household equipment not only comprise the functional attributes of the group leader household equipment, but also comprise the mapping of the functional instructions of other household equipment.

The group leader household device may be preset through the terminal device 200, and correspondingly, the terminal multicast control instruction may include a terminal group leader setting instruction.

The cloud device 100 controls the gateway device 300 to configure the multicast state of the home device 400 according to the terminal multicast control instruction, which may include:

the cloud device 100 acquires a sixth household device identifier and a sixth multicast identifier according to the terminal group leader setting instruction;

the cloud device 100 modifies the group length field, corresponding to the sixth multicast group, in the multicast table in the database 500 to indicate the sixth home device according to the sixth home device identifier and the sixth multicast identifier.

The sixth household equipment identifier is configured to indicate sixth household equipment, the sixth household equipment is group leader household equipment, and the sixth multicast identifier is configured to indicate a sixth multicast group including the sixth household equipment.

That is, in the group leader scenario, the trigger source is a change in the attribute value of the group leader household device, and the change in the attribute value may be saved in a local memory (e.g., a local cache) of the group leader household device, while the action includes an operation of dynamically obtaining the attribute of the group leader household device.

The cloud device 100 realizes configuration of the group leader home devices by modifying the group leader field and creating the group leader scene. In subsequent operation, the attribute values of other household devices in the multicast group will change along with the change of the attribute values of the group leader household devices in the multicast group.

step S153, when there is a multicast group, the cloud device 100 obtains a group leader attribute value, and generates a second cloud action instruction according to the group leader attribute value;

in step S154, the cloud device 100 sends the second cloud action instruction to the gateway device 300, so that the gateway device 300 controls other home devices in the multicast group to execute an action, so that the attribute value of each home device in the multicast group is consistent with the group length attribute value.
