Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the modules of the hardware operating environment involved in the water heater shown in FIG. 1 are not limiting of embodiments of the invention and may include more or fewer components than those shown, or some components may be combined, or a different arrangement of components.
With continued reference to fig. 1, the sensors 40 may be installed at various locations in the home environment, such as water flow sensors, temperature sensors, and gas sensors disposed in the home environment, to detect the outlet water temperature associated with the water heater, the outlet water volume, which outlet device is outputting water, and the gas concentration in the home, among other environmental data associated with the water heater 10. The sensor 40 then derives the detected environmental data through the wireless device 20, and gives the environmental data to the processor 1001 for processing through the communication serial port of the communication bus 1002, and after the processor 1001 receives the environmental data, the environmental data is packaged into a corresponding audio file and transmitted to the sound generating device 50 for voice broadcasting. Simply speaking, will be about to carry out voice broadcast with the relevant factor of water heater 10 through sound generating equipment 50, through this type of mode, can arouse user's attention degree, compare display screen and other modes, pronunciation are more directly perceived, and the possibility that the user saw environmental information the very first time is very big to can reduce the incidence of accident and unnecessary energy consumption.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for a water heater according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the modules shown in fig. 1, the network interface 1004 may be used primarily for data communication with the backend server; the user interface 1003 is mainly used for data interaction with a user; the processor 1001 in the present invention is mainly used to call a preset execution program, and the execution program needs to execute the following operations:
step S11: acquiring environmental data detected by a sensor associated with the water heater; and
step S12: and matching the environmental data in a preset corpus database to generate a corresponding audio file.
It can be understood that, in step S101, the environmental data of the sensor associated with the water heater is obtained through the processor, and in step S102, the corresponding audio file is matched in the preset corpus database according to the environmental data, so that the audio file is transmitted to the sound generating device to broadcast the audio file. Can solve the user through this type of mode and obtain some environmental data through the water heater, like the carbon monoxide concentration in the environment, or the condition of electric leakage, adopt pilot lamp and bee calling organ under comparing traditional mode, the user probably can not notice the pilot lamp, or hear bee calling organ warning very first time and observe the water heater and lead to getting into the danger area, compare the mode of voice broadcast more intelligent, factor of safety is higher relatively, still for example the user can not know when probably water can be heated to the temperature that can the bathing, will go frequent concern the temperature, it waits at this, can do other things completely in the time of concern, thus, will cause people's attention not to concentrate on, anxiety, the problem of waste time.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the above steps are further defined. Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 4, fig. 3 is a flowchart of step S11 in the method for a water heater according to the present invention. Fig. 4 is a logic diagram for executing step S11 in the method for a water heater provided by the present invention. When the processor 1001 acquires the environmental data detected by the sensor associated with the water heater in step S11, the method may include the following steps:
step S111: controlling a first digital-to-analog conversion module (a first AD acquisition module) to acquire environmental data detected by a sensor;
step S112: controlling a serial port communication module to receive the environmental data under the condition that the environmental data meet the preset broadcasting condition; and
step S113: and under the condition that the detected digital signals are determined not to meet the preset broadcasting conditions, the first digital-to-analog conversion module is controlled again to collect the environmental data.
It can be understood that steps S111 to S113 describe that the analog quantity of the sensor 40, i.e., the environmental data, is collected by the first digital-to-analog conversion module 1005, and then is sent to the upper computer (i.e., the processor) through the serial port communication module, so that the centralized collection and processing of the upper computer can be realized. In the embodiment of the present invention, the sensors provided are a/D type sensors, including a water temperature sensor, a TDS (Total dissolved solids) sensor, and a gas sensor, so as to provide water temperature data, TDS data, and gas concentration data, etc., it should be understood by those skilled in the art that other types of sensors may be added on the above to obtain more data, and the present invention also falls within the protection scope covered by the present invention.
The term "broadcast condition" in the above steps S112 and S113 is defined as a threshold condition corresponding to the water temperature data, TDS data, and gas concentration data, and can generate a minimum value or a maximum value for broadcast, where the threshold value may be set by a user or a safety threshold value pre-configured by a merchant, and if the water temperature data is set by the user to be boiled to 35 degrees for shower, that is, when the water temperature data detected by the sensor reaches 35 degrees, the water temperature data can be considered to have satisfied the broadcast condition, so as to perform voice broadcast through the sound generating device.
For one aspect from step S112 to step S113, that is, the sensor may transmit the environmental data to the upper computer in a wireless transmission manner, specifically, the sensor is responsible for acquiring the environmental data at regular time, and sends the environmental data out through wireless transmission after packaging. The wireless transmission can be any one of bluetooth, WiFi (wireless fidelity), or ZigBee, and the specific choice can be determined according to the applicable function, for example, other plug-in devices need to be added, and may preferably be WiFi; the data sensed by the sensor also needs to be directly interacted with the mobile phone, preferably Bluetooth; in this embodiment, ZigBee is optionally used. After the sensor and the main node code of the sensor are compiled and finished, the sensor and the main node code are connected through a serial port, and then the processor and the sensor are electrified, so that the environmental data of the sensor can be acquired at regular time. The PC side of the processor can analyze and view each environmental data by serial port number classification.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the above steps are further defined, please refer to fig. 5, and fig. 5 is a logic diagram of step S12 in the method for a water heater according to the present invention. Matching in a preset corpus database according to the environment data to generate a corresponding audio file comprises the following steps:
step S121: matching corpus codes in a preset corpus database according to the environment data;
step S122: selecting sound source digital signal data according to the corpus codes; and
step S123: and controlling a second digital-to-analog conversion module to convert the sound source digital signal data into an audio file.
The method may then further comprise:
step S131: inputting the audio file into a power amplifier for amplification;
step S132: and carrying out voice broadcast on the amplified audio file to a sound production device.
It is understood that, in steps S121 to S123, a manner of converting the environmental data into the corresponding audio file is mainly described, the environmental data may reflect the state of the sensor, and the environmental data is used as a key to match the corpus codes in the preset corpus database, so as to select the sound source digital signal data according to the corpus codes, and the sound source digital signal data is converted into the audio file through the second digital-to-analog conversion module (AD converter) again. For example, when indoor gas leaks, the corresponding audio file may be the following audio: "danger, gas leakage! Therefore, the user can know the occurrence situation at the first time and then make corresponding measures, and the occurrence probability of accidents is reduced.
Further in steps S131 to S132, the audio file is packaged and sent out through a sound-emitting device, which is usually disposed inside or outside the water heater and can serve to notify the user.
The method for a water heater provided by the embodiment of the invention is explained above, and another scheme of the embodiment of the invention is explained below.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is another flow chart of a method for a water heater according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, the processor invokes a preset execution program, and the execution program further needs to execute the following steps:
step S21: acquiring the position of a user; and
step S22: and determining the output configuration of voice broadcast of the water heater according to the position.
Wherein the output configuration comprises at least one of: volume, timbre, frequency of voice broadcast.
It can be understood that, in steps S21 to S22, the output configuration of the sound generating device is mainly adjusted according to the position of the user, and as can be seen from the above, the content of the voice broadcast is an audio file corresponding to the environmental data detected by the sensor, and step S22 configures only the volume, tone and frequency of the voice broadcast, which means that: because in the actual use process, the gas water heater is usually arranged in a relatively open area in a home, such as on a balcony or the outer wall of a kitchen, under the factors of wall obstruction or long distance, a user may not be able to hear the voice broadcast in the first time. Through the mode, the audio file can be configured in terms of volume, timbre and frequency under the condition that the user is far away from the water heater, for example, the volume of the sound generating equipment is regulated and controlled according to the position of the user, so that the user can hear the occurring situation more clearly. Thereby increasing the pertinence and effectiveness of the broadcast.
In summary, obtaining the location of the user may include the following. If the building where the user lives is a high-rise building, the method can be performed by adopting a mode including but not limited to Wireless Fidelity (Wi-fi) positioning, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) electronic tag positioning or bluetooth positioning and the like; optionally, positioning Wi-fi, and calculating current position information of the mobile terminal, namely the position of the user, by using a Nearest Neighbor rule classification algorithm (K-Nearest Neighbor) to calculate each RSSI value detected by the mobile terminal in combination with a triangulation method according to the distance between the mobile terminal and a network point.
Fig. 7 is a flowchart of step S21 in the method for a water heater according to the embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 7, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the processor executes the processor for acquiring the location of the user, the processor may further perform the following steps:
step S221: acquiring the signal strength transmitted to a wireless device by a mobile terminal from the wireless device which performs wireless communication with the mobile terminal of a user;
step S222: the location is determined based on the signal strength information.
It can be understood that because the voice broadcast transmission relies on the sound medium, thereby the volume intensity of sound medium can be by the wall separation decay in the family, lead to even at the user apart from the water heater, under the very close condition of sound generating equipment promptly, but still can't hear voice broadcast's warning in the very first time at the wall separation, consequently adopt wireless signal intensity as the judgement of user's position, and then adjust voice broadcast's output configuration is comparatively reasonable mode.
The wireless device in step S221 is an element arranged in the water heater or an external component on the outer wall of the water heater, and the position relationship between the water heater and the user is directly obtained through the signal strength of the wireless device and the mobile terminal. The wireless device may also obtain the signal strength of the user and the third-party gateway device from the third-party gateway device, such as a router, the user is connected to the router through a mobile terminal, and the wireless device determines the location of the user by reading the signal strength fed back by the mobile terminal on the router. In embodiments of the invention, the latter is preferred due to the fact that it is not possible for a user to connect the wireless device of the water heater home.
Specifically, the Wifi manager object of the router connected with the mobile terminal can be obtained through the wireless device, Wifi information such as current connection speed, an IP address, signal strength, a Wifi name and the like is obtained through the Wifi manager object, and therefore a specific absolute value is returned by using the signal strength in the Wifi information, for example, a signal is good from-50 to 0, and at the moment, it can also be determined that a user is easy to receive a sound medium from a water heater, namely, the possibility of hearing the voice broadcast is high, a signal is general from-50 to-70, at the moment, the user hearing the voice broadcast may be unclear, a signal is poor from-70 to-100, and at the moment, the user is difficult to hear the voice broadcast.
In the above-described scheme, since the router is usually difficult to move, the wireless device first needs to determine the location of the router from the relative location with the router, and further needs to determine the location of the user by using the location of the router in addition to the signal strength of the user and the router.

If the microwave oven is detected to be in a use state, the microwave oven can be considered to be used in a kitchen, and the voice broadcast output configuration corresponding to the position of the user at the moment can be judged according to the calibration of the position of the water heater in advance; it should be noted that, on the basis of carrying out the whole internet of things based on smart homes, for those skilled in the art, the method for sharing the information of the electric equipment belongs to a common technical means, and the embodiments of the present invention are not described herein too much.

It is understood that the lighting device is selected as the preferred item of the electric device, and firstly, the possibility of the position movement of a television, a computer, a projector and the like is high, and secondly, the electric device has no universality and does not necessarily have the condition. For the lighting equipment, the position of the lighting equipment is often fixed in a household, the position of the lighting equipment can be preset, for example, the position of the lighting equipment can be judged by the state of the lighting equipment, namely, the user uses the lighting equipment, and the voice broadcast output configuration corresponding to the position of the user at the moment can be judged according to the calibration of the position of the water heater; for example, the preset water heater is arranged at the position A, the lighting devices of the kitchen, the bedroom, the living room and the toilet are respectively calibrated at different positions relative to the position A, and different voice broadcast output configurations are configured according to the position calibration, so that the scheme is completed.

the sounding device 50 is arranged inside the water heater 10 or on the outer wall of the housing, or the independent water heater 10 is arranged on a preset mounting structure and used for voice broadcasting;
and a processor 1001, wherein the processor 1001 is defined to include a PC and a main controller, and is configured to execute preset program instructions to control operations configured in response to the operation of a peripheral connected to the main controller.
Specifically, environmental information from sensors 40 associated with water heater 10 is received by processor 1001 for broadcast by sound emitting device 50.
