Detailed Description
The following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention will be provided with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, so that how to apply the technical means to solve the technical problems and achieve the corresponding technical effects can be fully understood and implemented. The embodiments of the present invention and the features of the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict, and the formed technical solutions are within the scope of the present invention.
Example one
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a signal processing method, including the following steps S101 to S106:
and S101, respectively acquiring the signal strength of the first terminal and the signal strength of other terminals connected with each other.
In a home environment, a first terminal such as a smart television and a smart sound box in a living room, a smart refrigerator in a kitchen, and a smart air conditioner in a bedroom collects signal intensity between the smart television and the smart sound box, between the smart refrigerator and the smart air conditioner through a network signal intensity detection module in the smart television, and the specific method for collecting the signal intensity comprises the steps of carrying out TCP connection for multiple times between the smart television and the smart sound box, between the smart refrigerator and the smart air conditioner, sending and receiving data packets, recording the number of packets obtained each time as W0, and recording the number of packets lost as W1, wherein the signal intensity is used for calculating the signal attenuation rate between the smart television and the smart sound box, between the smart refrigerator and the smart air conditioner.
And S102, determining the signal attenuation rates of the first terminal and the other terminals according to the signal strength of the first terminal and the other terminals which are connected with each other.
According to the packet number W0 and the packet loss number W1 in the signal intensity data collected in the step S101, the basic packet loss rate is calculated to be (W0-W1)/W0 × 100%, the attenuation rate is 1- (W0-W1)/W0 × 100%, and after multiple times of sending and receiving calculation, the signal attenuation rates between the intelligent television and the intelligent sound box, the intelligent refrigerator and the intelligent air conditioner are obtained by averaging. Similarly, the step of calculating the signal attenuation rate can be calculated by uploading data to the server by the smart television.
And S103, determining the minimum signal attenuation rate of the first terminal and other terminals according to the signal attenuation rates of the first terminal and other terminals, and determining the minimum signal attenuation rate when the first terminal is connected with the second terminal.
For example, the signal attenuation rates between the smart television and the smart sound box, between the smart refrigerator and the smart air conditioner are respectively 13%, 15% and 17%, so that the signal attenuation rate between the smart television and the smart sound box is 13% of the minimum signal attenuation rate, and the second terminal is the smart sound box.
And step S104, judging whether the minimum signal attenuation rate of the first terminal and other terminals reaches a preset signal attenuation rate.
In step S103, the signal attenuation rate of the smart television and the smart sound box is obtained to be 13% of the minimum signal attenuation rate, and if the preset signal attenuation rate is 10%, the signal attenuation rate of the smart sound box is not 13% of the preset signal attenuation rate, the signal intensity of the smart television needs to be increased, the signal sending and receiving frequency is increased to enable the signal attenuation rate of the smart television and the signal attenuation rate of the smart sound box to reach the preset signal attenuation rate, and the network signal environment of the smart home devices in the home environment is kept to meet the minimum requirement
And S105, reducing the amplitude of the signal intensity of the first terminal until the signal attenuation rate when the first terminal is connected with the second terminal is equal to the preset signal attenuation rate.
Assuming that the preset signal attenuation rate is 10% and assuming that the signal attenuation rate of the intelligent television and the intelligent washing machine in the room is 8%, it is indicated that the signal strength of the intelligent television meets the preset signal attenuation rate, the signal strength of the intelligent television needs to be reduced, the power of the intelligent television needs to be reduced, and resources are saved because the preset signal attenuation rate is met.
And S106, increasing the signal intensity of the first terminal until the signal attenuation rate when the first terminal is connected with the second terminal reaches the preset signal attenuation rate.
If the preset signal attenuation rate is 10%, then the signal attenuation rate of the intelligent sound box is 13% and does not reach the preset signal attenuation rate, the signal intensity of the intelligent television needs to be increased, the signal sending and receiving frequency is increased, the signal attenuation rate of the intelligent sound box and the signal attenuation rate of the intelligent sound box reach the preset signal attenuation rate, the network signal environment of the intelligent home equipment in the home environment is kept to reach the minimum requirement, and the intelligent television can normally receive signals sent by the control equipment.
The intelligent television can periodically update the signal intensity of other equipment and calculate a new signal attenuation rate, thereby adjusting the self-amplification or amplitude-reduction signal intensity.
Similarly, other intelligent devices can also realize the above process, so that the intelligent household devices in the whole room all reach reasonable signal intensity, and when the user sends an instruction to the intelligent air conditioner in the bedroom in the living room, the user instruction can be forwarded to the intelligent air conditioner through the intelligent television, so that the intelligent air conditioner can correctly receive the instruction of the user.
