Some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating steps of a device control method according to an embodiment of the present application. The device control method is applied to a control system arranged in a preset area, the control system comprises a plurality of devices, the devices comprise controllers and controlled elements controlled by the controllers, the controllers are provided with operation systems with preset levels, and the controller of any one device can be in communication connection with the controllers of other devices through a distributed soft bus.

As shown in fig. 1, the device control method includes steps S11 to S13.

Step S11: networking controllers of a plurality of devices in a preset area, and constructing a control system, wherein the controllers of the plurality of devices after networking are connected through a distributed soft bus.

The preset area is not limited in this application, and may be, for example, a home indoor area, or another outdoor or indoor area, etc., and this application describes a preset area as a home indoor area. It will be appreciated that communication connections may be made between devices within the predetermined area.

Further, the apparatus includes a controller and a controlled element controlled by the controller. The device can be at least one of a refrigerator, an intelligent lamp, an air conditioner and a television, the controller is a control unit of the refrigerator, the intelligent lamp, the air conditioner and the television, and correspondingly, the controlled element can comprise an element controlled by the control unit in the refrigerator, the intelligent lamp, the air conditioner and the television. For example, for a refrigerator, the controlled elements may be a refrigeration unit, a lamp, etc., which is not limited in this application. Further, the controlled elements may be controlled by one or more controllers for implementing their corresponding functions.

In addition, the controller is provided with an operating system with a preset level, and the controller of any one device can be in communication connection with the controllers of other devices through a distributed soft bus.

It should be noted that the present application is not limited to the preset level, and for example, the preset level may be set based on the priority of the controller. Specifically, the preset level may be set to a first level, a second level, and a third level according to the priority from high to low, respectively. It can be understood that the controller corresponding to the operating system of the first level can control not only the controlled element corresponding to the controller of the first level, but also the controlled elements corresponding to the controllers of the second level and the third level. In this way, problems with failure of the individual controllers to control the controlled elements can be prevented.

Furthermore, the distributed soft bus technology can realize unified distributed communication management capability among near field devices, and provides discovery connection, networking and transmission capability among devices without distinguishing links. Therefore, the controller of any one device based on the distributed soft bus can discover each other and establish communication connection with the controllers of other devices.

Optionally, the controllers of the plurality of devices after networking are connected through a distributed soft bus, including: the controller of any one device after networking can be in communication connection with the controllers of other devices through a plurality of communication links, wherein the plurality of communication links comprise a WiFi communication link, a BR communication link and a BLE communication link.

Specifically, the distributed soft bus provides discovery and connection functions between devices based on the coordination of the softness and hardness of the Ethernet, the WIFI and the Bluetooth, namely discovery connection capability between controllers based on communication modes such as a WiFi communication link, a BR communication link, a BLE communication link and the like. Therefore, a plurality of controllers in the control system can arbitrarily select a better communication mode of the communication signals, so that stable and faster communication transmission can be realized between the controllers.

In the embodiment of the application, the controllers of the plurality of devices in the preset area can be networked based on the distributed full bus to construct a control system. The distributed soft bus can provide discovery connection capability between controllers based on communication modes such as a WiFi communication link, a BR communication link, a BLE communication link and the like. Therefore, the controllers in the control system can be connected in a communication mode without being limited to one communication mode, and the flexibility of the control system and the stability and the high efficiency of the communication process are improved.

Step S12: an operating mode is configured for a plurality of controllers of the control system.

The working modes at least comprise a first working mode and a second working mode, wherein the first working mode is that a controller of the equipment controls a controlled element of the equipment, and the second working mode is that the controllers of other equipment and the controller of the equipment simultaneously control the controlled element of the equipment.

Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, fig. 2 is a schematic view of a scenario of a device control method in a first working mode according to an embodiment of the present application; fig. 3 is a schematic view of a scenario of a device control method in a second working mode according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 2, in the first working mode, the controller may be connected to the controlled element in a factory configuration manner or an autonomous pairing manner, so as to control the controlled element through the controller. In the second mode of operation, the controller of the other device and the controller of the device simultaneously control its controlled elements, as shown in fig. 3. That is, the controlled element may be controlled by a plurality of controllers.

In the embodiment of the application, the working modes can be configured for a plurality of controllers of the control system. The working modes at least comprise a first working mode and a second working mode, and the first working mode and the second working mode respectively correspond to a single-controller controlled element and a multi-controller controlled element.

Step S13: and controlling the controlled element of each device to work according to the configured working mode.

Since the above-described operation mode corresponds to a specific manner in which the controller controls the controlled element. Thus, after the operation mode is configured for the control system, the controlled element of each device may be controlled to operate by the corresponding controller according to the operation mode.

In the embodiment of the application, the controllers of a plurality of devices in the area can be networked to construct a control system, and then the working mode is configured for the control system. The working modes at least comprise a first working mode and a second working mode. The first working mode is to control the controlled element by the controller of the equipment, and the second working mode is to control the controlled element by the controller of other equipment and the controller of the equipment at the same time. Further, the controlled elements of each device may be controlled to operate based on the configured mode of operation. The control system and the control method can control equipment by using the controller based on different working modes, stability and replaceability of the controller in the control system are achieved, flexibility of the control system is improved, and use experience of a user is further improved.

Optionally, referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of steps for constructing a control system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the construction of the control system may be realized through steps S21 to S24.

Step S21: and determining a master controller and a slave controller which can be used for networking based on the distributed soft bus.

The networking information includes a coding scheme, a modulation scheme, a communication rate, address code information, and the like, which are used for communication, and the present application is not limited thereto.

It should be noted that, the present application does not limit the object that issues the networking information, for example, the networking information may be issued by the host controller, the controller that does not participate in networking, and the cloud.

Referring specifically to fig. 5 to fig. 7, fig. 5 is a schematic view of a scenario in which a master controller issues networking information according to an embodiment of the present application; fig. 6 is a schematic view of a scenario in which a controller that does not participate in networking issues networking information according to an embodiment of the present application; fig. 7 is a schematic view of a scenario in which networking information is sent by a cloud end according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 5, networking information may be issued by the host controller. Specifically, any one of the control systems can be designated as the main controller, and then the main controller issues networking information for itself and other controllers to be networked. As shown in fig. 6, networking information may be issued by a controller that does not participate in networking. Specifically, the controllers not participating in the networking may issue networking information to the controllers participating in the networking. As shown in fig. 7, networking information may be delivered by the cloud. That is, the cloud directly transmits networking information to the controller to be networked, or the controller to be networked actively acquires the networking information from the cloud, which is not defined in the application

In addition, the master and slave controllers available for networking may also be determined based on the distributed soft bus. Wherein, the master controller can actively establish connection with the slave controller.

In the embodiment of the application, networking information can be acquired, and a master controller and a slave controller are determined to be used for realizing networking among the controllers.

Step S22: and carrying out network configuration on the master controller and the slave controllers based on the networking information.

After the networking information is obtained, network configuration can be performed on the networking controller based on the networking information. It can be understood that the master controller is configured by the network to enable the slave controller to perform the next networking step.

Step S23: after the master controller and the slave controller find each other, a networking request is sent to the slave controller through the master controller.

In particular, the master controller and the slave controller may rely on a distributed soft bus to implement mutual discovery between the two. The distributed soft bus mainly adopts WiFi P2P technology, so that the slave controller can be directly connected with the master controller equipment. Further, the mutual discovery process between the slave controller and the master controller based on the distributed soft bus is mainly divided into two steps: the first step is to let other controllers find themselves by sending specific packets to other controllers, and the second step is to let itself receive specific packets sent by other controllers so as to realize that other controllers are found by itself. In the process, the master controller and the slave controller can switch back and forth between a monitoring state and a device sending state, so that the self device can be found.

Further, after the master controller and the slave controller discover each other, a networking request can be sent to the slave controller by the master controller for networking.

Optionally, after the master controller and the slave controller discover each other, sending, by the master controller, a networking request to the slave controller, including: after the master controller and the slave controller are discovered mutually, authenticating the controller through the master controller; and sending a networking request to the slave controller after the authentication operation is passed through the master controller.

Alternatively, after the master controller and the slave controller discover each other, the unique NETWORK ID (NETWORK identification code) of the master controller and the slave controller may be registered with the distributed soft bus by constructing a KV string, and submit own device attribute information. After the distributed soft bus receives the information, the received KV character string can be analyzed to carry out authentication judgment, and a networking request is sent to the slave controller after the authentication operation is passed through the master controller, so that networking is realized.

It should be noted that, to ensure the uniqueness of the NETWORK ID, the NETWORK ID of the device may be a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier, universal unique identification code) generated randomly.

In the embodiment of the application, the network configuration can be performed on the master controller and the slave controller based on networking information. And further, after the master controller and the slave controller find each other, a networking request is sent to the slave controller through the master controller for networking. In addition, the authentication operation can be carried out on the controller through the main controller, so that the safety and reliability in the networking process are improved.

Step S24: after receiving the networking request from the controller, the connection between the master controller and the slave controller is established to construct the control system.

It can be understood that after receiving the networking request from the controller, the connection between the master controller and the slave controller can be established, so that the networking of the master controller and the slave controller is realized, i.e. the control system is constructed.

In the embodiment of the application, the network configuration can be performed on the networked controllers based on the networking information, and then after the master controller and the slave controllers are discovered mutually, a networking request is sent to the slave controllers through the master controller. Thus, after the controller receives the networking request, the connection between the master controller and the slave controller is established to construct the control system. Because the networking process is realized based on the distributed soft bus, unified networking and topology management capabilities of the controller are provided, and therefore high-efficiency networking efficiency is realized.

Optionally, please continue to refer to fig. 8 to fig. 9, fig. 8 is a schematic step diagram of another device control method according to an embodiment of the present application; fig. 9 is a schematic view of a scenario of the device control method shown in fig. 8. As shown in fig. 8, in the case where the operation mode is the first operation mode, the construction of a new control system can be achieved through steps S31 to S32.

Step S31: and when the controller of the controlled element fails, determining a new controller positioned in a communication range corresponding to the preset area.

Specifically, on the basis of the first working mode, when the controller of the controlled element such as the controller needs to be maintained or replaced fails, a new controller in a communication range corresponding to the preset area can be determined. Wherein the new controller can be used to control the controlled element.

Step S32: networking the new controller with other controllers in a preset area to construct a new control system.

Specifically, the new controller and other controllers in the preset area can be networked again to construct a new control system. It can be appreciated that the new controller in the new control system can control the controlled element, and the controlled element can only be networked with the new controller. The risk of simultaneous control by multiple controllers is avoided.

In the embodiment of the application, when the controller of the controlled element fails in the first working mode, a new controller can be networked with other controllers to construct a new control system. Therefore, the new controller can control the controlled element to work without replacing the controlled element or maintaining the failed controller, and the use experience of a user is improved.

Optionally, referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic step diagram of another device control method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 10, in the case where the operation mode is the second operation mode, the construction of a new control system can be achieved through steps S41 to S42.

Step S41: and determining a new controller positioned in a communication range corresponding to the preset area.

Specifically, when a new controller is required, a new controller positioned in a communication range corresponding to the preset area can be determined. The new controller is used for controlling the controlled elements of the new controller and the controllers of other devices at the same time.

Step S42: networking the new controller with other controllers in a preset area to construct a new control system.

Specifically, the new controller and other controllers in the preset area can be networked again to construct a new control system. It will be appreciated that the new controller in the new control system can control the controlled elements, and that the controllers of the other devices as well as the new controller can simultaneously control the controlled elements.

In this embodiment of the present application, in the second working mode, when a new controller is required, a new controller positioned in a communication range corresponding to the preset area may be determined. And networking the new controller with other controllers to construct a new control system. Therefore, the multiple controllers can control the controlled elements, the flexibility of the control system is improved, and the failure of controlling the controlled elements caused by the abnormality of a single controller can be avoided.
