Detailed Description

For further explanation of the present application, the following examples are provided:

fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating a network architecture according to an exemplary embodiment of the present specification, where the network architecture includes at least one control device, at least one controlled device, and a server, where the control device and the controlled device can know whether or not a counterpart is in a short-range wireless communication range by detecting a wireless signal transmitted by the counterpart, and each is connected to the server through the internet.

The control device in the embodiments of the present description refers to an intelligent terminal device, such as a smart phone, a computer, and a smart watch, capable of sending or detecting a wireless signal and connecting to the internet, and the controlled device in the embodiments of the present description may include any hardware device, such as a smart home appliance, a smart robot, a smart conference all-in-one machine, and a smart conference box, capable of sending or detecting a wireless signal and connecting to the internet.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a device control method according to an exemplary embodiment, which is applied to a control device in the network architecture shown in fig. 1, and includes the following steps:

s201: and acquiring the equipment code and determining the controlled equipment corresponding to the equipment code.

The device code referred to in the embodiments of the present specification refers to a character string ID uniquely corresponding to a certain controlled device, and when the controlled device registers in the server, the server assigns an automatically generated device code to the registered controlled device, and in order to ensure global uniqueness of the device code, the device code newly registered in the controlled device is randomly selected from unassigned device codes, or is manually specified by an administrator: when the administrator inputs a device code to be allocated, the system firstly checks whether the device code to be allocated is occupied by the registered device, if so, the allocation is cancelled and the administrator is prompted to input again, and if not, the device code to be allocated is allocated to the registered controlled device and the administrator is prompted to allocate successfully. The server also manages the correspondence between the device code of the registered controlled device and its network address, so as to accurately find the network address of the corresponding controlled device through the device code and complete the access and control of the controlled device, the network address referred to in the embodiment of the present specification may include an IP address, a MAC address, a bluetooth address ID, etc., the network addresses can also uniquely determine the corresponding controlled devices, and therefore, the network addresses can be used as device identity information of the controlled devices, the device identity information referred to in the embodiments of the present specification may also include any other identification information capable of determining the identity of the controlled devices in addition to the network addresses, in some cases, the device identification information may be the device code, but this is not considered in the embodiments of the present specification, and the device identification information is considered to be identification information other than the device code. The server stores the registered controlled device and the corresponding device code, network address or other device identity information as registration information in a registration information table so as to facilitate query and management.

After the control device acquires the device code, the device code may be sent to the server, so that the server determines the controlled device corresponding to the device code from the registered controlled devices, and at this time, the server may return the device identity information corresponding to the controlled device to the control device, so that the control device can obtain the device identity information of the controlled device, thereby determining the controlled device corresponding to the device code according to the device identity information; or after the control device acquires the device code, the controlled device corresponding to the device code may be determined according to the history information, for example, the control device has successfully acquired the control right of the controlled device corresponding to the device code and has stored the device identity information of the controlled device, so that the subsequent control device can directly determine the device identity information of the controlled device through the device code, and the device identity information is used to determine the controlled device corresponding to the device code.

S202: and if the control equipment is determined to be in the short-range wireless communication range of the controlled equipment, acquiring the control authority of the controlled equipment.

The short-range wireless communication in the embodiments of the present specification means a communication technology in which both communication parties transmit information by wireless signals and the transmission distance is limited to a short range of several tens of meters, and wireless communication technologies such as bluetooth, Wi-Fi, IrDA, NFC, and ZigBee all belong to the short-range wireless communication described in the embodiments of the present specification. The wireless signal referred to in this specification specifically refers to an electromagnetic wave signal operating in a 2.4GHz ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical Band) frequency Band, and for example, wireless networks such as a WiFi wireless local area network, bluetooth, and ZigBee can all operate in the 2.4GHz ISM frequency Band.

In this embodiment of the present specification, determining that the control device is within the short-range wireless communication range of the controlled device may be implemented in any one of the following two ways: firstly, if the control device detects a wireless signal sent by the controlled device, the control device is determined to be in the close range wireless communication range of the controlled device; and if the controlled equipment is determined to detect the wireless signal sent by the control equipment, determining that the control equipment is in the short-range wireless communication range of the controlled equipment. In the embodiment of the present specification, the process of detecting the short-range wireless communication range does not need to establish a wireless communication connection, because detecting a wireless signal does not mean that a network connection must be established with the device that transmits the wireless signal, but only passively receives and simply identifies the wireless signal, for example, when the wireless signal is a bluetooth broadcast signal, the bluetooth broadcast signal can be detected without establishing a bluetooth connection because the bluetooth broadcast signal is transmitted in one direction, and detecting the bluetooth broadcast signal does not mean that bluetooth pairing with the device that transmits the bluetooth broadcast signal is required.

In the embodiment of the present specification, whether the control device actively detects the wireless signal of the controlled device or the controlled device actively detects the wireless signal of the control device, on one hand, such an active detection action may be performed in a preset time period or according to a preset frequency, for example, for a case where the control device actively detects the wireless signal of the controlled device, the control device may automatically detect the wireless signal sent by the controlled device at 7:00 to 11:00 and 14:00 to 17:00 every day to control the controlled device within a specific time period, or the control device is configured to detect the wireless signal of the controlled device once every 5 minutes, so as to save resource overhead of the detection process. On the other hand, the action of sending out the wireless signals can be limited, the action of sending out the wireless signals is set to be carried out in a preset time period or according to a preset frequency, and still taking the case that the control device actively detects the wireless signals of the controlled device as an example, the controlled device can send out the wireless signals in 7:00 to 11:00 and 14:00 to 17:00 every day, so that the control device can receive the wireless signals from the controlled device only in the time period, and therefore the time period is equivalent to the time period for setting the controlled device to be controlled, or the controlled device is set to send out the wireless signals every 5 minutes, and therefore the resource overhead of the process of sending out the wireless signals is saved.

S203: and controlling the controlled equipment based on the control authority.

In this embodiment of the present description, when a control device has acquired a control right for a controlled device, the controlled device can be accessed and controlled through a server, and specifically, the server determines, according to a device code sent by the control device, the controlled device and a network address thereof corresponding to the device code, and establishes a network connection with the controlled device according to the network address, so that data traffic sent from the control device can be sent to the controlled device through the network connection, or data traffic sent by the controlled device through the network connection is sent to the control device, thereby establishing a network connection between the control device and the controlled device. In addition, the control device can also establish wireless connection with the controlled device based on the control authority of the controlled device, so that data information is exchanged according to the wireless connection, and the controlled device is wirelessly controlled without participation of a server.

In one embodiment, after a control device acquires a device code, a control interface corresponding to the device code is not provided to the control device by default, and only when the control device has acquired a control authority, the control interface corresponding to the controlled device is provided to the control device, the control interface in the embodiment of the present specification refers to a control platform capable of inputting a control instruction and interacting data information, when a user inputs the control instruction at the control interface, the user can complete the input of the control instruction through a predefined control such as a function button and a text input box on the control interface, or can perform voice input by using a microphone, which is not limited by the present specification, the user acquires the control instruction input by the user through the control interface and sends the control instruction to a server, the server forwards the control instruction to the controlled device, thereby completing the control of the controlled device, in addition, the control interface can also display the state information of the controlled equipment or other data information from the server or the controlled equipment, such as video, voice information and the like.

In another embodiment, the control device may default to provide a control interface corresponding to the device code for the control device after the control device acquires the device code, and acquire a control instruction input by a user through the control interface, and when the control device does not acquire a control authority, the control device does not respond to the control instruction input by the user, and when the control device has acquired the control authority, the control device responds to the control instruction input by the user and sends the control instruction to the server, and the server sends the control instruction to the controlled device according to a network connection established in advance, thereby completing control of the controlled device; or, the default is to send the control instruction input by the user to the server through the control interface, the server does not respond to the control instruction when the control device does not acquire the control authority, but responds to the control instruction input by the user and sends the control instruction to the server when the control device acquires the control authority, and the server sends the control instruction to the controlled device according to the network connection established in advance, so as to complete the control of the controlled device.

The control instruction related in this embodiment may include: a screen projection instruction, namely projecting at least one part of display content on the control equipment to the controlled equipment; the video or voice call instruction can transmit image information captured by a camera at the side of the control equipment or voice information captured by a microphone to the side of the controlled equipment or other control equipment for obtaining the control authority of the controlled equipment through a server; mechanical operation instructions, which are used for controlling the controlled equipment to perform corresponding mechanical operations, such as controlling the robot to walk and the aircraft to fly; a shutdown or startup instruction is used for controlling the controlled equipment to be in standby or startup; other system configuration instructions.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present specification, the control device acquires the device code, acquires the control authority of the controlled device corresponding to the device code, and there is no strict sequential execution order for the three steps of controlling the controlled device based on the control authority, the three steps may be simultaneously completed in one operation by the user, or may be sequentially executed in any order, for example, the control device may first determine, through the received wireless signal, which control authorities of the controlled device the control device owns, and then the user may input the device code and the control instruction at the same time, so as to directly control the controlled device having the control authority corresponding to the device code.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the specification can have the following beneficial effects:

in the embodiment of the present specification, after a user inputs an equipment code, it needs to further determine whether a control device used by the user is within a short-range wireless communication range of a controlled device corresponding to the equipment code, and only if the control device is within the range, the control authority of the controlled device is obtained and the controlled device is controlled; and the fact that the user is in the short-distance wireless communication range of the controlled equipment generally means that the user is very close to the geographical position of the controlled equipment, and the user can be regarded as a related control person participating in the control of the equipment under normal conditions, so that the binding of the control authority and the geographical position is equivalent to the fact that the control authority is only released to the related control person, the situation that the controlled equipment is illegally controlled by irrelevant persons due to screen-projecting code leakage is avoided, the controlled equipment is conveniently controlled by the related control person, and meanwhile, the safety of equipment control is guaranteed.

Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing exemplary embodiment, the specific process of acquiring the device code may include any one or more of the following manners:

and acquiring the equipment code input by the user. In this embodiment of the present specification, a text input box for inputting information is first provided for the control device, a user is waited to input information, and after the user completes inputting and determining information, the input information is obtained as a device code.

The device code is extracted from a first wireless signal for forming the short-range wireless communication range, which is emitted from the controlled device. In the embodiment of the specification, the control device extracts the device code information from the first wireless signal which is transmitted by the controlled device and used for determining the near-field wireless communication range, so that the user does not need to input the device code manually, and the user operation is simplified.

Extracting the device code from a second wireless signal emitted from the controlled device that is different from the first wireless signal. In this embodiment of the present specification, the second wireless signal may include an ultrasonic signal or an optical signal, and since the device code is obtained from the second wireless signal, the first wireless signal used for determining the short-range wireless communication range does not need to carry device code information, so that the control device does not need to perform deep information analysis and extraction on the first wireless signal, and only needs to pay attention to whether the first wireless signal can be detected, so as to detect whether the control device is in the short-range wireless communication range, and separate from a task of automatically obtaining the device code, which is helpful for performing personalized adjustment for different application scenarios, and meanwhile, the scheme does not need to manually input the device code by a user, thereby simplifying user operation.

And extracting equipment identity information from a first wireless signal which is sent by the controlled equipment and used for forming the short-range wireless communication range, and acquiring the equipment code corresponding to the equipment identity information from historical information stored in the control equipment. The embodiment of the present disclosure is described by taking the first wireless signal as a bluetooth broadcast signal and the device identity information as a bluetooth address ID as an example: the control device stores the corresponding relation between the Bluetooth address ID of the controlled device which has acquired the control authority and the device code thereof in the history information, so that after the control device receives the Bluetooth broadcast signal, the Bluetooth address ID is extracted from the message header of the Bluetooth broadcast signal and is matched with the Bluetooth address ID stored in the history information, if the same Bluetooth address ID is obtained by matching in the history information, the control device is proved to have acquired the control authority of the controlled device corresponding to the Bluetooth address ID, and the device code corresponding to the controlled device is also input, therefore, the device code corresponding to the Bluetooth address ID stored in the history information can be directly acquired, and thus, the deep information analysis and extraction of the first wireless signal are not required, and the second wireless signal is not required, and the equipment code is automatically acquired, so that the user operation is simplified.

Optionally, on the basis of the above exemplary embodiment, the detection of the wireless signal sent by the controlled device by the control device may be accomplished by:

extracting to-be-verified equipment identity information of equipment of a sender of the wireless signal from the wireless signal detected by the control equipment;

and if the equipment identity information to be verified is consistent with the equipment identity information of the controlled equipment corresponding to the equipment code, determining that the equipment of the sender of the wireless signal is the controlled equipment.

In this embodiment, it may be determined that the control device is within the short-range wireless communication range of the controlled device by receiving a wireless signal of the controlled device, where the wireless signal is a bluetooth broadcast signal and the device identity information is a bluetooth address ID, and the embodiment of this specification is described as follows: the control equipment firstly sends the equipment code to the server so that the server determines the corresponding controlled equipment through the equipment code and returns the Bluetooth address ID of the controlled equipment to the control equipment, so that the control equipment obtains the Bluetooth address ID corresponding to the equipment code; or, if the control device has obtained the control authority of the controlled device, the bluetooth address ID corresponding to the device code can be searched from the history information;

and extracting a Bluetooth address ID from the detected Bluetooth broadcast signal as a to-be-verified Bluetooth address ID, matching the to-be-verified Bluetooth address ID with a Bluetooth address ID corresponding to the equipment code, if the matching result is that the to-be-verified Bluetooth address ID is consistent with the Bluetooth address ID corresponding to the equipment code, determining that the equipment of a sender of the wireless signal is the controlled equipment, considering that the control equipment is in the short-distance wireless communication range of the controlled equipment at the moment, and further obtaining the control authority of the controlled equipment.

In the embodiment of the present specification, the control authority of the controlled device may be obtained by receiving a wireless signal of the controlled device, in this case, the controlled device is used as a center to divide an authorization range, and the authority issuing of the control device in the authorization range is open, and the initiative for implementing control is grasped on the control device side, so that unconditional control of the control device on the controlled device may be ensured, the control delay is reduced to a certain extent, and the method is suitable for a scenario in which the control authority of the controlled device is completely open.

Optionally, on the basis of the above exemplary embodiment, the determining that the controlled device detects the wireless signal sent by the control device may be performed by:

the control equipment sends out a wireless signal containing equipment identity information of the control equipment;

sending a matching request to a server, wherein the matching request comprises the equipment code and the equipment identity information of the control equipment, so that the equipment identity information contained in the matching request is used for matching with the equipment identity information contained in the wireless signal detected by the controlled equipment;

and receiving a matching result returned from the server, and if the matching result is successful, determining that the controlled equipment detects the wireless signal sent by the control equipment.

In this embodiment, it may be determined that the controlled device detects a wireless signal sent by the control device to determine that the control device is within a short-range wireless communication range of the controlled device, where the wireless signal is a bluetooth broadcast signal and the device identity information is a bluetooth address ID, as an example, to describe the embodiment of this specification: the control equipment sends out a Bluetooth broadcast signal to the periphery, and the message header of the Bluetooth broadcast signal contains the Bluetooth address ID of the control equipment;

meanwhile, the control equipment sends a matching request containing the equipment code of the controlled equipment and the Bluetooth address ID of the control equipment to the server, after the server receives the matching request, the server firstly searches for the corresponding controlled equipment according to the equipment code, further obtains the network address of the controlled equipment in a registration information table, and sends the Bluetooth address ID contained in the matching request to the controlled equipment through the network address of the controlled equipment, and on one hand, the controlled equipment extracts the Bluetooth address ID by receiving Bluetooth broadcast signals, and on the other hand, receives the Bluetooth address ID from the server;

the controlled device matches the bluetooth address IDs obtained from the two aspects, and in general, because there are many control devices, the controlled device may receive a plurality of bluetooth broadcast signals, and therefore, the bluetooth address IDs in the bluetooth broadcast signals are extracted and stored uniformly, and are organized into an authorization ID table, and each control device corresponding to the bluetooth address ID in the authorization ID table is regarded as being in the short-range wireless communication range of the controlled device, and is therefore in a default authorized state. In addition, the server may receive a plurality of matching requests, so that the controlled device matches each bluetooth address ID transmitted from the server in the authorization ID table one by one, if the authorization ID table has a bluetooth address ID table entry consistent with the bluetooth address ID transmitted from the server, the matching is considered to be successful, if the bluetooth address ID transmitted from the server is not found in the authorization ID table, the matching is considered to be failed, the controlled device returns a matching result to the server after completing the matching, and the server further returns the matching result to the corresponding control device according to the network connection established between the server and the corresponding control device through the matching request; in another embodiment, the matching process occurs at the server, in this case, the server does not send the bluetooth address ID in the matching request to the corresponding controlled device, but arranges multiple authorization request tables according to the received matching request, where each authorization request table corresponds to one controlled device, specifically, each time the server receives one matching request, firstly determines the corresponding controlled device in the registration information table according to the device code included in the matching request, and stores the bluetooth address ID included in the matching request into the authorization request table of the controlled device, and in addition, the server also receives the authorization ID tables from the respective controlled devices, so that for each controlled device, the server manages the corresponding authorization request table and authorization ID table at the same time, and matches the bluetooth address IDs in the two tables, if a certain bluetooth address ID in the authorization request table can be found in the authorization ID table, the matching result corresponding to the bluetooth address ID is considered as successful matching, if the matching result cannot be found in the authorization ID table, the matching result corresponding to the bluetooth address ID is considered as failed matching, and the matching result is returned to the corresponding control equipment.

And the control equipment receives the matching result returned from the server, and if the matching result is successful, the controlled equipment corresponding to the equipment code in the matching request can detect the wireless signal sent by the control equipment.

In the embodiment of the present specification, the control authority of the controlled device may be obtained by determining that the controlled device detects a wireless signal sent by the control device, in this case, the authorization range is divided by taking the control device as a center, and since whether the controlled device receives the wireless signal of the control device or whether the control authority is issued according to a process after receiving the wireless signal is not determined by the control device, the authority of the control device within the authorization range is not open in the embodiment of the present specification, and the initiative for implementing control is grasped by the controlled device side, so that an authorization policy may be designed for the controlled device, for example, shielding a wireless signal in some directions, ignoring some control devices according to ID information of the wireless signal, or rejecting the wireless signal according to a time period, and thus implementing conditional control of the controlled device by the control device, the safety and the expandability of the control scheme are improved in a certain sense, and the method is suitable for a scene that the control authority of the controlled equipment is not completely opened.

Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing exemplary embodiment, if it is determined that the control device is not within the short-range wireless communication range of the controlled device, a verification code input by a user is acquired; and if the verification code input by the user is determined to be matched with the verification code distributed to the controlled equipment, acquiring the control authority aiming at the controlled equipment.

In the embodiment of the present specification, if the control device is not in the short-range wireless communication range of the controlled device, the control authority of the controlled device may also be obtained by inputting the verification code, for example, in an intelligent conference scene, the controlled device is an intelligent conference television, the server first assigns a verification code to the intelligent conference television, and if a user wants to participate in a conference remotely, the server may further input the verification code after inputting the device code, so as to obtain the control authority of the intelligent conference television and complete control operations such as screen projection. The verification code related to the embodiment of the description can be randomly and dynamically generated, and at the moment, the intelligent conference television can display the dynamic verification code distributed by the server on a screen, so that related control personnel participating in a conference on the spot can send the verification code to other related control personnel participating in a remote conference by other communication means; or, the verification code may be preset, for example, a text password related to the conference subject, and when a user participating in the conference remotely inputs a correct password verification code, the control authority of the intelligent conference television corresponding to the device code can be obtained. In addition, if the control device is in the short-range wireless communication range of the controlled device, the control authority of the controlled device may also be acquired by inputting the verification code, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present specification.

In the embodiment of the description, the control authority of the controlled device can be acquired by inputting the verification code, so that the device control can be still finished under some special conditions, and the flexibility of the device control scheme is improved. For example, when the control device or the controlled device fails to send or detect a wireless signal or when personnel cannot be present on the spot, the user can input the verification code to control the device on the premise of ensuring safety as much as possible.

Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing exemplary embodiment, after the control authority for the controlled device is acquired, if it is detected that the control device leaves the short-range wireless communication range of the controlled device, the control authority for the controlled device is cancelled.

For example, when the control device detects a wireless signal of the controlled device and acquires the control authority of the controlled device, the control device can continue to periodically detect the wireless signal, and once the wireless signal of the controlled device corresponding to the control authority cannot be detected, the control authority is immediately cancelled; or, after the control device acquires the control authority of the controlled device, it may be redetected whether the wireless signal of the corresponding controlled device can be acquired each time the control instruction is input, and if not, the control authority for the controlled device may be cancelled. In the embodiment of the present specification, after the control device leaves the short-range wireless communication range of the controlled device, the control authority of the control device for the controlled device can be cancelled, so that only the relevant control personnel in the field in real time can be ensured to control the controlled device, and the security is further ensured. In another optional embodiment, after obtaining the control authority for the controlled device, if it is detected that the control device leaves the short-range wireless communication range of the controlled device, the control authority for the controlled device may also be maintained, so that the user may leave the short-range wireless communication range of the controlled device after obtaining the control authority within the short-range wireless communication range.

As shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of another device control method according to an exemplary embodiment, which is applied to a server in the network architecture shown in fig. 1, and includes the following steps:

s301: and receiving a device code sent by the control device, and determining the controlled device corresponding to the device code.

The detailed description will be given by taking a scene that the smart phone B controls the smart conference all-in-one machine to project a screen as an example. Referring to fig. 6, the control scenario may be implemented based on the interaction between the smart phone B, the server, and the smart conference all-in-one machine, and the method may include the following steps:

S604: the server returns the bluetooth address ID obtained by table lookup to the client of the smartphone B.

S605: and the smart phone B opens the Bluetooth function and detects nearby Bluetooth broadcast signals, wherein the Bluetooth broadcast signals comprise Bluetooth broadcast signals of the intelligent conference all-in-one machine.

S606: extracting the Bluetooth address IDs contained in the detected plurality of Bluetooth broadcast signals to obtain a Bluetooth address ID list.

S607: and matching the Bluetooth address ID returned by the server in a Bluetooth address ID list, if the Bluetooth address ID list has a table entry consistent with the Bluetooth address ID returned from the server, judging that the Bluetooth address ID list is in the Bluetooth range of the intelligent all-in-one conference machine corresponding to the equipment code input by the user, and acquiring the control authority of the intelligent all-in-one conference machine.
