The communication module can also receive a signal to be sent from the processor, frequency-modulate and amplify the signal, and convert the signal into electromagnetic waves through the antenna to radiate the electromagnetic waves.

In the internet of things control system shown in fig. 1, it is generally necessary to control a plurality of controlled devices of the same type or a plurality of controlled devices of different types. After the remote controllers are matched with the controlled equipment one by one, the corresponding relation between the remote controllers and the controlled equipment is determined, and then the plurality of controlled equipment can be controlled through the remote controllers. And in use, the controlled devices corresponding to the remote controller need to be increased or decreased, and the remote controller needs to be matched with the newly added controlled devices one by one or be matched with the controlled devices corresponding to the remote controller one by one. The method has the advantages of complex operation, time and labor waste and low efficiency, and is more easy to miss the matching between the remote controller and the controlled equipment or to have the wrong matching between the remote controller and the controlled equipment. And after the remote controller is matched with a plurality of controlled devices, the matching relationship between the controlled devices and the remote controller is not easy to inquire and manage, and the management of the remote controller and the controlled devices is inconvenient.

In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present application provides a device control method. The user matches a first control of a first control device, for example, a smart phone with a touch display unit, with a second control device, for example, a remote controller, so that the first control and the remote controller have the same identification information, which may be a remote controller identification code. The first control can be a virtual remote controller in the smart phone, or can be a control such as a button group in the smart phone, and the first control can receive a touch operation instruction of a user through the touch display unit, or display information or feedback information related to the touch operation instruction through the touch display unit.

And the user selects the device identification information of at least one controlled device stored in the smart phone to be matched with the controller identification information corresponding to the first control through the smart phone, and the smart phone generates and stores the matching relation. It can be understood that the matching relationship, that is, the matching relationship between at least one controlled device and the remote controller, is in the form of a matching relationship between identification information of the controlled device and an identification code of the remote controller in the smart phone.

And sending the matching relation to a server through the smart phone, and determining a change message for changing the matching relation between the controlled equipment and the remote controller by the server according to the matching relation, wherein the change message comprises identification information of the controlled equipment and controller identification information, namely a remote controller identification code.

The server sends a change message to the controlled device through the gateway, instructs the controlled device to determine whether to process the change message through the identification information of the controlled device, and stores the identification code of the remote controller if the controlled device needs to process the change message.

When a user sends a control message to the controlled equipment through the first control or the remote controller through the gateway, the controlled equipment determines whether the control message needs to be responded or not through the stored remote controller identification code, and therefore the purpose that the first control or the remote controller controls the plurality of controlled equipment is achieved.

Through the steps, the remote controller is matched with the controlled devices. The smart phone is easy and convenient to operate, and the efficiency is improved; and because the first control can provide the display information of the matching relationship, the condition that the matching between the remote controller and the controlled equipment is omitted or the matching between the remote controller and the controlled equipment is wrong can be avoided, and the matching relationship between the controlled equipment and the remote controller is easy to inquire and manage.

The user changes the matching relation between the controlled equipment and the identification code of the remote controller through the first control piece of the smart phone, can add the controlled equipment matched with the identification code of the remote controller, and can cancel the matching relation between the controlled equipment and the identification code of the remote controller. And then can be convenient change the matching relation of remote controller and controlled equipment, avoided using the remote controller to match with newly-increased controlled equipment one by one or cancel and match with the controlled equipment that the remote controller corresponds one by one, and then improved efficiency.

In order to facilitate the control operation of the user on the plurality of devices, the user selects the plurality of devices in the same category or the plurality of devices in different categories to be matched with the identification codes of the remote controller through the first control. And adding the equipment type information into the control information, wherein the controlled equipment consistent with the equipment type information responds to the control instruction of the equipment type, and the controlled equipment inconsistent with the equipment type information only responds to the switching instruction. Therefore, the control of one control or the remote controller to various different devices can be further realized, the situation that the remote controller corresponding to multiple device types needs to be operated when multiple devices of multiple types need to be switched on and off simultaneously is avoided, the convenience of use of a user can be improved, and the efficiency is improved.

The remote controller or the smart phone controls a plurality of controlled devices, which may have a large distribution range or a complex layout environment with a shelter, so that the controlled devices may not receive the control instruction. In order to solve the problem, a multi-stage repeater is added in the control system of the Internet of things. After each repeater receives the message sent by the gateway or the upper-level repeater, the repeater abandons the message which is received by other receiving channels and is the same as the message, and forwards the message through all the sending channels of the repeater. The long-distance or large-range transmission of the message sent by the gateway is realized, so that the controlled equipment in the coverage range of the repeater can receive the control message or the change message, and the reliability of the system is improved.

Example one

Fig. 2 illustrates a device control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to the first control device in the internet of things control system illustrated in fig. 1, and may be implemented by software/hardware of the first control device. As shown in fig. 2, the method includes steps S110 to S130. The specific realization principle of each step is as follows:

and S110, responding to a matching operation instruction aiming at a first control triggered by a user, acquiring controller identification information of the second control equipment, and establishing a corresponding relation between the first control and the controller identification information.

In one non-limiting example, as shown in fig. 3A, the first control device is a smartphone and the first control is a virtual remote control in the smartphone. The user presses a start matching button in the smart phone and presses any button of the remote controller, the virtual remote controller responds to the user operation instruction, and identification information of the remote controller, namely an identification code of the remote controller, is acquired through wireless connection with the remote controller. The smart phone stores the identification information in a storage space corresponding to the virtual remote controller, and the identification information is used for identifying the virtual remote controller, so that the virtual remote controller and the entity remote controller have a one-to-one correspondence relationship due to the fact that the virtual remote controller and the entity remote controller have the same identification information. It is understood that the virtual remote controller and the physical remote controller may be substituted to issue the control command. As shown in fig. 3A, in a non-limiting example, after the matching operation of the virtual remote controller and the physical remote controller is successful, the virtual remote controller may display a prompt message indicating that the matching operation is successful, so as to prompt the user to perform another operation. It will be appreciated that the user may name the virtual remote control via the smartphone in order to prompt the user for the kind of controlled device controlled by the virtual remote control, for example named "kitchen CW light".

S120, responding to a selection operation instruction aiming at a first control triggered by a user, and establishing a matching relation between the equipment identification information and the controller identification information; the device identification information is used for identifying the controlled device; wherein the equipment identification information is one or more.

In one non-limiting example, as shown in fig. 3B, the smartphone responds to a user operation to set a virtual remote control, e.g., pressing a set button, where the virtual remote control is named "kitchen CW light". The virtual remote controller displays a pre-stored list of the controlled devices which can be selected, and a user selects the controlled devices in the list of the controlled devices, such as kitchen lamps; the smart phone responds to the selection operation instruction, and establishes a matching relation between the identification information of the kitchen lamp and the pre-stored identification code of the remote controller. It is understood that a matching relationship between a plurality of controlled devices, for example, a small lamp, a room lamp, etc., and the identification code of the remote controller may be established.

It is understood that step S110 and step S120 may have no precedence relationship, and may first establish a corresponding relationship between the first control of the first control device and the second control device, or may first select the controlled device matched with the first control of the first control device for the first control device and then establish a matching relationship between the first control and the second control device. In the latter case, a matching relationship between the controlled device and a temporary identifier of the first control may be established, and the temporary identifier may be replaced with the identifier of the second control device through a matching operation with the second control device.

S130, sending a data distribution request to a server; the data distribution request comprises the matching relationship; the data distribution request is used for indicating the server to determine a change message according to the matching relation and broadcasting the change message through a gateway; the change message includes the controller identification information and device identification information; the change message is used for instructing the controlled device to store the controller identification information according to the device identification information.

In a non-limiting example, the first control of the smartphone automatically sends a data distribution request to the server after completing establishing the matching relationship between the controlled device and the controller identification information.

In another non-limiting example, the smartphone sends a data distribution request to the server in response to a user sending instruction for the first control, i.e., the virtual remote control.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating an information interaction flow of the embodiment of the method illustrated in fig. 2. As shown in fig. 4, in one non-limiting example, the first control device is a smartphone, and the first control is a virtual remote control in the smartphone; the second control device is a physical remote control. The user carries out matching operation on the virtual remote controller in the smart phone, meanwhile, the matching or any button of the entity remote controller is pressed, the smart phone obtains the identification code of the entity remote controller in a wireless communication mode, and the identification code is stored to establish the corresponding relation between the virtual remote controller and the entity remote controller. The user carries out selection operation on a controlled device list prestored in a virtual remote controller in the smart phone, and the smart phone responds to a selection operation instruction aiming at the virtual remote controller triggered by the user to establish a matching relation between the identification information of the controlled device and the identification information of the controller. And then, the smart phone sends a data distribution request to the server, wherein the data distribution request comprises the matching relation between the identification information of the controlled device and the identification information of the controller. After receiving the data distribution request, the server determines the content of a change message according to the matching relationship between the controlled equipment identification information and the controller identification information, wherein the change message comprises the controller identification information and the equipment identification information. The server broadcasts the change message through the gateway. And after receiving the change message, the controlled equipment, such as the remote control lamp with adjustable color temperature, stores the controller identification information according to the equipment identification information in the change message. It can be understood that, in the actual implementation, the controlled device judges whether the change message needs to be responded through the device identification information, if the device identification information is consistent with the identification information of the device itself, the change message is corresponding, and if not, the change message is ignored; and if the controlled device needs to respond to the change message, storing the controller identification information in the change message.

Through the steps, the remote controller is matched with the controlled devices. The smart phone is easy and convenient to operate, and the efficiency is improved; and because the first control, namely the virtual remote controller, can provide the display information of the matching relationship, the situation that the remote controller is missed to be matched with the controlled equipment or the wrong remote controller is matched with the controlled equipment can be avoided, and the matching relationship between the controlled equipment and the remote controller is easy to inquire and manage.

On the basis of the above embodiment of the method for controlling the device shown in fig. 2, fig. 5 shows another method for controlling the device provided in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 5, the method further includes, on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 2:

and S140, in response to a change operation instruction for the first control triggered by the user, changing the device identification information of the controlled device matched with the controller identification information in the matching relationship.

In a non-limiting example, a user performs a change operation on a first control element, such as a virtual remote controller, in a first control device, such as a smart phone, and the smart phone changes the device identification information of the controlled device, which is matched with the controller identification information in the matching relationship, in response to the change operation performed on the virtual remote controller by the user.

In a non-limiting example, as shown in step S141 in fig. 5, in response to an adding operation instruction for the first control triggered by a user, the device identification information of the controlled device that matches the controller identification information is added to the matching relationship. Specifically, as shown in fig. 6A, a user clicks a setting button of a virtual remote controller through a touch screen of a smart phone, enters a controlled device list interface of the virtual remote controller named as a kitchen CW, and selects to add a controlled device in a selectable added device list by selecting a plus "+" button at the upper right corner. The virtual remote controller of the smart phone, namely a control named as a kitchen CW lamp, responds to an adding instruction of a user, establishes a matching relation between the device identification information of the controlled device selected by the user and the controller identification information corresponding to the kitchen CW lamp, and realizes the addition of the controlled device matched with the controller identification information. It can be understood that after the smartphone responds to the conditional instruction and adds the controlled device identification information matched with the controller identification information to the matching relation, a data distribution request is sent to the server, the server determines a change message according to the data distribution request and broadcasts the change message through the gateway, so as to instruct the controlled device to update the controller identification information stored in the controlled device according to the controlled device identification information and the controller identification information in the change message.

In a non-limiting example, as shown in step S142 in fig. 5, in response to a deletion operation instruction for the first control triggered by a user, the device identification information of the controlled device that matches the controller identification information is deleted in the matching relationship. Specifically, as shown in fig. 6B, the user clicks a setting button of the virtual remote controller through the touch screen of the smart phone to enter a controlled device list interface of the virtual remote controller named as the kitchen CW lamp, and the user clicks the kitchen lamp button to perform an operation of removing the kitchen lamp. The virtual remote controller of the smart phone, namely a control named as a kitchen CW lamp responds to a removal instruction of a user, cancels the matching relationship between the device identification information of the controlled device selected by the user and the controller identification information corresponding to the kitchen CW lamp, and realizes the removal of the controlled device matched with the controller identification information. It can be understood that, after the virtual remote controller of the smartphone responds to the deletion instruction to delete the controlled device identification information matched with the controller identification information in the matching relationship, the virtual remote controller sends a data distribution request to the server, and the server determines the change message according to the data distribution request. For example, the change message includes the controlled device identification information and the controller identification information, and indicates whether the controlled device responds to the message by the controlled device identification information, and indicates whether the controller stores the information or deletes the controller identification information stored in the controlled device by the controller identification information. And broadcasting the change message through the gateway to instruct the controlled device to update the controller identification information stored by the controlled device according to the controlled device identification information and the controller identification information in the change message. For example, the server determines that a certain table lamp is no longer matched with the remote controller according to the matching relationship, the broadcast message only contains the identification of the table lamp and does not contain the identification of the remote controller, and the table lamp deletes the stored remote controller mark after receiving the message. Of course, a person skilled in the art may determine, according to actual conditions, whether to store or change the storage controller identification information according to the controlled device identification information and the controller identification information, by instructing the controlled device in the change message sent by the server.

The controlled device controlled by the second control device can be conveniently changed through the first control device, for example, a virtual remote controller of a smart phone, by performing the above changing operation such as adding or deleting on the controlled device matched with the controller identification information. Therefore, the complex operation that the matching relation between the controlled equipment and the second control equipment is added or deleted by matching the second control equipment and the controlled equipment one by one is avoided, and the efficiency is improved.

Example two

Fig. 7 illustrates an apparatus control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, which is applied to the internet of things control system illustrated in fig. 1 and can be implemented by software/hardware of the internet of things control system. As shown in fig. 7, the method includes steps S210 to S260. The specific realization principle of each step is as follows:

s210, the first control device responds to a matching operation instruction which is triggered by a user and aims at the first control, obtains controller identification information of the second control device, and establishes a corresponding relation between the first control and the controller identification information.

S230, the first control device sends a data distribution request to a server, and the data distribution request comprises the matching relation.

S240, after receiving the data distribution request, the server determines a change message according to the matching relation; the change message includes the controller identification information and device identification information matching the controller identification information.

S250, the server broadcasts the controller identification information change message through the gateway.

And S260, the controlled device receives the change message and determines to store the controller identification information according to the device identification information in the change message.

It is understood that various embodiments and combinations of the embodiments in the above embodiments and their advantages are also applicable to this embodiment, and are not described herein again.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 7, an embodiment of the present application provides another method for controlling a device, including the following steps:

and the first control equipment responds to a change operation instruction aiming at the first control triggered by a user, and changes the equipment identification information of the controlled equipment matched with the controller identification information in the matching relationship.

correspondingly, the first control device adds the device identification information of the controlled device matched with the controller identification information to the matching relation according to the adding operation instruction; or the like, or, alternatively,

the first control equipment responds to a deletion operation instruction for a first control triggered by a user;

correspondingly, the first control device deletes the device identification information of the controlled device matched with the controller identification information in the matching relation according to the deletion operation instruction.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 7, fig. 8 shows another method for controlling a device according to an embodiment of the present application. In step S260, the controlled device receives a message sent by the gateway, and if the message is a change message, after determining to store the controller identification information according to the device identification information in the change message, the method further includes the following steps:

s270, the first control device or the second control device broadcasts a control message through a gateway, where the control message includes the controller identification information and a control instruction.

In one non-limiting example, the first control device is a smartphone and the second control device is a physical remote control. After the virtual remote controller and the physical remote controller in the smart phone are matched through the steps shown in fig. 7, the virtual remote controller and the physical remote controller correspond to the same identification information, such as an identification code, and the identification code is stored by the controlled device to be controlled. Therefore, the virtual remote controller and the physical remote controller of the smart phone can control the controlled device by broadcasting a control message through the gateway, wherein the control message comprises the controller identification information and the control instruction.

And S280, the controlled device receives the control message, and if the controller identification information in the control message is consistent with the controller identification information stored in the controlled device, the controlled device responds to the control instruction.

In one non-limiting example, as shown in fig. 9, the control message includes, but is not limited to, a frame header, a device identification, a controller identification, a device type, a control instruction, and a check field in one non-limiting example of the control message; the control command includes, but is not limited to, a switch field, a brightness adjustment field, and a color temperature adjustment field. Of course, those skilled in the art can design the content and arrangement relationship of the related messages under the guidance of the embodiments of the present application to achieve the purpose of the embodiments of the present application. The remote controller sends a control message to the controlled device, wherein the control message contains the information shown in fig. 9, and the controlled device identifies whether the control message is a unicast message or a broadcast message according to the frame header; and identifying whether the equipment needs to respond to the message or not through the equipment identification code. For example, if the device identification code of the pendant lamp is 00023, and the device identification code in the control message received by the pendant lamp is 00023, the pendant lamp responds to the indication of the subsequent field of the control message, and if the controller identification code prestored in the pendant lamp and the controller identification code in the control message are both FF1F, the pendant lamp responds to the indication of the subsequent field of the control message. As shown in fig. 9, the control message further includes device type information; correspondingly, when the controlled device responds to the control instruction, if the device type of the controlled device is consistent with the device type information, the controlled device responds to the control instruction corresponding to the device type in the control instruction; and if the controlled equipment type is inconsistent with the equipment type information, the controlled equipment only responds to the switching instruction in the control instruction. For example, the device type information is FF11, and the pendant lamp, after receiving the control message, performs the switching action according to the device type information in response to only the switching field shown in fig. 9, without performing the indication of the brightness adjustment or color temperature adjustment field, corresponding to the desk lamp type. For another example, the device type is FE11, and corresponding to the ceiling lamp type, the ceiling needs to respond not only to the switch field, but also to the indication of the brightness adjustment field and the color temperature adjustment field, and execute the brightness adjustment or the color temperature adjustment instruction.

By adding the device type information into the control information, the controlled device consistent with the device type information responds to the control instruction of the device type, and the controlled device inconsistent with the device type information only responds to the switching instruction. Therefore, the control of one control or the remote controller to various different devices can be further realized, the situation that the remote controller corresponding to multiple device types needs to be operated when multiple devices of multiple types need to be switched on and off simultaneously is avoided, the convenience of use of a user can be improved, and the efficiency is improved.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 7, another method for controlling the device is provided in the embodiment of the present application. Step S260, the controlled device receives the message sent by the gateway, including the following steps:

the controlled equipment receives the message sent by the gateway through at least one stage of repeater;

after receiving a message sent by a gateway or a superior repeater through a receiving channel, the repeater discards the message which is the same as the message and is received by the repeater through other receiving channels, and forwards the message through all sending channels of the repeater, wherein the message comprises at least one of a change message and a control message.

In one non-limiting example, each level of the gateway has 128 receive channels and 128 transmit channels, and when the gateway receives a message from one of the 128 receive channels, it forwards 128 copies of the message through its 128 transmit channels and discards the same message received on the remaining channels. The remote controller or the smart phone controls a plurality of controlled devices, which may have a large distribution range or a complex layout environment with a shelter, so that the controlled devices may not receive the control instruction. In order to solve the problem, a multi-stage repeater is added in the control system of the Internet of things. After each repeater receives the message sent by the gateway or the upper-level repeater, the repeater abandons the message which is received by other receiving channels and is the same as the message, and forwards the message through all the sending channels of the repeater. The long-distance or large-range transmission of the message sent by the gateway is realized, so that the controlled equipment in the coverage range of the repeater can receive the control message or the change message, and the reliability of the system is improved.
