Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

Example 1:

with the development of intelligent household appliances, the hardware of the intelligent household appliances inevitably contains a plurality of sensor modules, such as an electric energy metering module, temperature and humidity sensing, photosensitive sensing, infrared sensing, noise sensing, gas sensing and the like; these all have feedbacked the running state and the operational environment of household electrical appliances, in this embodiment with above-mentioned module or sensor through communication protocol with controller main part communication connection for monitor household electrical appliances' running state and make feedback control in good time.

The power metering module plays the role of a sensor. The sensor is the most basic sensor in a plurality of sensing modules of an environment sensing controller (hereinafter referred to as a controller) and is used for detecting working current, voltage, power, electric quantity, power grid quality and other electric energy parameters, and the module is hereinafter referred to as an electric energy sensing module. The actual operating state of the appliance must be represented by these parameters. For example, when the household appliance works under high load, the current and power values are very high; when the household appliance works at low load, the current and power values are low; when the household appliance is in standby, the current and the power value are the lowest.

The electric energy sensing module can correctly detect the running state of the household appliance. When the household appliance is running, the electric energy sensing module detects that parameters such as power, current, voltage and the like are in a normal range, the work is normal, the household appliance informs the cloud platform, and the household appliance works and runs normally at a certain time; if some parameter is abnormal, for example, when the electric appliance is in heavy load operation, but the power and current values are very small, the electric appliance is indicated to have some fault or be aged, the environment sensing controller informs the cloud platform that the electric appliance has a problem, and reminds a user to pay attention to use or need to maintain the electric appliance.

The electric energy sensing module provides source data for cloud big data analysis. The environment perception controller feeds back the electric energy data detected by the electric energy sensing module in each time period to the cloud. The cloud end can count energy consumption, analyze the power consumption curve of the household appliance, summarize the key power consumption time period, and make a more energy-saving power consumption plan according to the peak-valley time; the cloud end can record the running state of the household appliance, if the household appliance runs abnormally, the cloud end platform automatically alarms or automatically shuts down the household appliance, and the record can provide a search basis for various accidents and improve the safe power utilization; the household appliance is detected to be in standby state by the electric energy sensing module, the environment sensing controller automatically controls to cut off the power consumption, and only communication and detection are kept; the cloud end carries out big data analysis on the collected data of the household appliances, summarizes the use rules or frequency of the household appliances, enables the household appliances to have a self-learning function, guesses which operations the household appliances will carry out, automatically controls the household appliances when certain time or conditions are reached, can plan better use control, and realizes energy conservation.

The electric energy sensing module is beneficial to designing better products by household appliance manufacturers. The household appliance manufacturer can distinguish habits, frequencies, energy consumption and the like of household appliances used by different regions or crowds through cloud electric energy data analysis, and can design more suitable products according to differences.

Example 2:

for parents, how to control the time that children watch television and surf the internet every day is a headache problem. A video sensor, a distance sensor and a TTS voice function module can be arranged on the television, and the age of a person in front of the television is sensed through the video. When the child is too close to the television, the controller can control the television to automatically blank the screen until the television is in a proper distance and plays the television program again, and the controller collects the message and carries out data interaction with the parent mobile phone through the I/O unit. Parents can control the TV through the cell-phone and shut down, can throw the screen display on the TV even and show the word suggestion: the learning is carried out, and the learning is fed back to the voice function module through the controller for voice prompt. As in fig. 1.

Example 3:

VOC air quality sensor, formaldehyde sensor, dust sensor, carbon dioxide sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, gas sensor, carbon monoxide sensor and the like in the existing market can all be used for being connected with the controller in a communication mode. The temperature and humidity sensor detects the temperature and humidity, or the temperature and humidity are input through the user interaction interface, and the air conditioner, the humidifier, the dehumidifier and other equipment can be linked to start and adjust to a proper environment; the brightness sensor can be linked with the curtain and the bulb brightness switch; the gas sensor and the carbon monoxide sensor can be linked with a gas switch, an automatic control window switch, an electric switch and the like, when gas leakage is detected, a window can be opened, the gas switch and the electric switch are cut off, and meanwhile, a user is informed through a 4G network and gives an alarm.
