Description

Technical Field

Background

Currently, with the development of the smart home industry, gateway devices having BLE (bluetooth) and wifi (wireless) functions are frequently applied to home networking, and play a very important role, such as providing an online status of other proxy devices (devices without a direct communication capability with a cloud platform) for a cloud platform. However, when a user has multiple gateway devices, the online status of the proxy device may be repeatedly reported or the status may be mistakenly reported due to simultaneous proxy of multiple gateway devices, which reduces user experience.

Based on the current multi-gateway scenario, if the distance between the proxy device and each gateway device is different, the communication between the different gateway devices and the proxy device is unstable, and may not be available at all. The broadcast fluctuation caused by the distance and the environment also causes the online state judgment error of different gateway devices for the same agent device, that is, one gateway reports the online state of the agent device a to the cloud platform, and the other device reports the offline state of the agent device a to the cloud platform because of the distance.

In this embodiment, a method for determining an online status is provided, and fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining an online status according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 4, the following steps are specifically provided:

before executing the method of the present embodiment, preparation is performed as follows:

1. and acquiring a proxy device, wherein the proxy device is an intelligent household appliance device without a function of directly communicating with the cloud platform, such as a device only having a Bluetooth technology.

2. The method comprises the steps of obtaining gateway equipment, wherein the gateway equipment is intelligent household electrical appliance equipment with a cloud platform direct communication function, such as equipment with a WIFI technology and a BLE technology.

3. And setting a communication mode between the gateway device and the proxy device, for example, setting the gateway device and the proxy device to communicate in a Bluetooth broadcast and Bluetooth connection mode. For example, the gateway device may confirm whether the device is online and proxiable by scanning for broadcasts to the proxy device.

4. And setting the gateway equipment to report the online heartbeat of the equipment to the cloud platform every 60 seconds (the heartbeat comprises the average rssi of every 10 times of received broadcast, namely the average value of the signal strength). And if the offline message or the online message exists, reporting immediately.

5. And setting a tcp-ip connection mode adopted by communication between the gateway equipment and the cloud platform.

6. And simultaneously configuring and binding the gateway equipment and the proxy equipment under the same user account.

As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present application further provides an online status determining system, including: the proxy equipment is used for carrying out Bluetooth broadcasting and sending heartbeat information to the gateway equipment; the gateway device is used for receiving the Bluetooth broadcast of the agent device and sending the received signal intensity and heartbeat information of the Bluetooth broadcast of the agent device to the cloud platform; the cloud platform is used for receiving heartbeat messages sent by a plurality of gateway devices and determining a main gateway device from the plurality of gateway devices according to the signal strength of all proxy devices carried in the heartbeat messages; and receiving heartbeat messages of all the agent devices sent by the main gateway device, and determining the online states of all the agent devices according to the heartbeat messages of all the agent devices sent by the main gateway device.

Next, a flow of assigning and calculating the master gateway device will be described with reference to fig. 4:

step S1: the proxy apparatus 1 transmits a bluetooth broadcast.

It should be noted that the proxy devices 1, 2, and 3 in fig. 3 are only exemplary, and do not represent a limitation to the number of proxy devices. The operation processes of the proxy device 2 and the proxy device 3 are the same as those of the proxy device 1, and the present embodiment will be described by taking the proxy device 1 as an example.

Step S2: the gateway devices each start a bluetooth scan and sweep the bluetooth broadcast of the proxy device and derive the signal strength rssi of the bluetooth broadcast.

And step S3: the gateway device calculates the rssi average every 10 times.

And step S4: and the gateway equipment adds the rssi average value calculated by the gateway equipment to the heartbeat message of the proxy equipment and reports the heartbeat message to the cloud.

Step S5: and the cloud platform receives the rssi values of the proxy devices reported by all the gateway devices under the user name, and obtains the device ID which can be used as the main gateway device through calculation.

The cloud platform can calculate the rsi values of the proxy devices reported by all the gateway devices through the calculation center.

Step S6: the cloud platform informs all gateway devices under the user name of the id of the main gateway device through a specified protocol command.

Step S7: and the other gateway equipment stops sending the heartbeat of the proxy equipment when finding that the other gateway equipment is not set as the main gateway equipment.

Step S8: the heartbeat of the proxy device continues to be sent by the primary gateway device.

Step S9: the primary gateway device is determined in real time.

This process can be achieved by the following steps:

step S10: if the main gateway device goes down the ionization line, the cloud end finds that the main gateway device goes off the line, and immediately sends a wakeup message to other gateways under the user name, and the other gateway devices continue to scan and report the heartbeat of the proxy device. The above step S2 is re-executed.

Step S11: if a certain proxy device is offline, the main gateway device reports the offline of the proxy device, after receiving the offline message, the cloud platform needs to issue query commands to all the named gateway devices, each gateway should report the heartbeat of the proxy device which the gateway depots, and if all the gateway devices do not report the heartbeat of the proxy device, the cloud platform judges that the device is offline and immediately pushes the device to a user. Otherwise, the flow of calculating the main gateway device is restarted, and a message of recalculating the main gateway device is pushed to all the devices. Each gateway device re-executes step S4.

Further, the process for calculating the primary gateway device may be implemented by:

step S12: the cloud platform receives the RSSI average value of the proxy equipment and the heartbeat of the proxy equipment, which are reported by the gateway equipment;

step S13: and comprehensively calculating the RSSI value and the device heartbeat of all the gateway devices under the same user name. Wherein, step S13 is realized through steps S1301 to S1302:

step S1301: if the number of the proxy devices reported by each gateway device is different. The gateway device with the largest number of devices is selected as the primary gateway device.

Step S1302: if the number of the proxy devices reported by each gateway device is the same, the main gateway device with the best RSSI signal is calculated according to the RSSI. The specific calculation method is as follows:

1) Firstly, the RSSI average value of all the reported proxy equipment reported by each gateway is calculated.

2) The calculated RSSI averages are then compared.

3) In the results, the closer the RSSI average is to 0 indicates the better the gateway device is located.

4) The gateway device is set as the master gateway device.

Through the embodiment, the main gateway equipment in each gateway equipment is calculated by combining the cloud computing technology, so that the capability of unifying the proxy of other equipment is achieved, and the access between each equipment in a family and a cloud platform can be optimized, so that the pressure of a cloud platform server is relieved. The invention can provide the online state of each device for the user when the user uses a plurality of intelligent household appliances, thereby improving the perception accuracy of the user on the state of the device, improving the control accuracy of each device and further improving the user experience.
