At step S130, after the pairing connection is established between the current remote controller and the air conditioner, a control instruction initiated by a user is acquired.
At step S140, after the pairing connection is established between the current remote controller and the air conditioner, if the current remote controller has received the control instruction of the user within a set time, the current remote controller selects to communicate through the bluetooth communication mode of the bluetooth module of the current remote controller or through the WiFi communication mode of the WiFi module of the current remote controller according to the communication data volume corresponding to the control instruction, so as to transmit the control instruction; wherein, the control instruction of the user comprises any instruction as follows: the key control instruction sent by the user, the voice control instruction sent by the user and the voice call instruction sent by the user. And the voice communication can be performed between the more than two voice remote controllers through the local area network so as to execute the voice communication instruction.
Specifically, fig. 6 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a low power consumption control method of a voice remote control system. As shown in fig. 6, the low power consumption control method of the voice remote controller system in the solution of the present invention includes:
Step 11, the voice remote controller is provided with a Bluetooth module and a WiFi module, wherein the Bluetooth module is a low-power consumption Bluetooth module. The voice remote controller performs one-to-one pairing with the air conditioner by using the low-power consumption Bluetooth module, and comprises two pairing modes of active pairing and scanning pairing. Wherein, the active pairing mode, for example: the Bluetooth pairing request can be sent by long-pressing the pairing key of the voice remote controller, and after the Bluetooth module on the air conditioner responds to the Bluetooth pairing request, one-to-one pairing between the low-power Bluetooth module on the voice remote controller and the Bluetooth module on the air conditioner is realized; scan pairing means, for example: after the voice remote controller is activated, the WiFi module of the voice remote controller immediately or periodically scans the nearest air conditioner, bluetooth pairing is automatically carried out on the WiFi module of the voice remote controller and the Bluetooth module of the nearest air conditioner through the low-power Bluetooth module of the voice remote controller, the whole process of the scanning pairing mode is automatic and silent, the user does not need to operate the voice remote controller, and the air conditioner does not have sound or other information to prompt that the pairing is successful. And then, executing step 12 to control the air conditioner through the low-power consumption Bluetooth module of the voice remote controller, and performing voice control on the air conditioner through the WiFi module of the voice remote controller.
Step 12, under the condition that a key instruction of a user is received, performing conventional control (such as non-voice control key control) on the air conditioner through a low-power-consumption Bluetooth module of the voice remote controller, for example, controlling keys of the voice remote controller, and realizing conventional control on the air conditioner through a Bluetooth communication mode provided by the low-power-consumption Bluetooth module. And under the condition that a voice instruction of a user is received, the WiFi module of the voice remote controller is used for carrying out voice control on the air conditioner.
According to the control method of the voice remote controller system, communication requirements (such as communication requirements during non-voice key control) with smaller data volume in communication of the voice remote controller are changed into a Bluetooth communication mode, power consumption of a WiFi communication mode of the voice remote controller can be reduced, communication requirements (such as communication requirements of voice communication and voice communication) with larger data volume in communication of the voice remote controller are adopted to be WiFi communication mode, and therefore high-power consumption performance of the WiFi communication mode of the voice remote controller in terms of voice communication is facilitated to be improved, and user experience is improved; and even, the WiFi communication mode of the voice remote controller and the WiFi communication modes of other voice remote controllers can be realized to carry out voice call connection, and the high power consumption performance on the voice call connection can be improved, so that the use experience of a user is better improved.
In some embodiments, the control method of the voice remote control system further includes: and further performing a low-power consumption control process on the Bluetooth module of the current remote controller.
The following is a schematic flow chart of an embodiment of performing low power consumption control on a bluetooth module of a voice remote controller in the method of the present invention in conjunction with fig. 3, which further describes a specific process of performing low power consumption control on the bluetooth module of the current remote controller, including: step S310 to step S330.
Step S310, after the pairing connection is established between the current remote controller and the air conditioner, if the current remote controller does not receive a control instruction within a set time, the Bluetooth module of the current remote controller periodically enters a preset low-power consumption communication state, and the state data of the air conditioner is synchronously updated in the low-power consumption communication state.
Step S320, under the condition that the Bluetooth module of the current remote controller periodically enters a preset low-power consumption communication state, a control instruction initiated by a user is still acquired; that is, after the pairing connection is established between the current remote controller and the air conditioner, under the condition that the bluetooth module of the current remote controller does not periodically enter a preset low power consumption communication state, or under the condition that the bluetooth module of the current remote controller periodically enters the preset low power consumption communication state, a control instruction initiated by a user is acquired.
Step S330, if a control instruction of a user is received, waking up the current remote controller, and enabling the current remote controller to select whether to communicate through a Bluetooth communication mode of a Bluetooth module of the current remote controller or a WiFi communication mode of a WiFi module of the current remote controller according to the communication data amount corresponding to the control instruction so as to transmit the control instruction.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, the low power consumption control method of the voice remote controller system in the solution of the present invention further includes: in step 11, the bluetooth low energy module of the voice remote controller periodically enters a low power consumption communication state, and queries the state of the air conditioner in the low power consumption communication state, and synchronously updates the state data of the air conditioner. After updating the state data of the air conditioner, when the voice remote controller is not used in a short time, the voice remote controller is in a dormant state, at the moment, the display screen of the voice remote controller is closed, the WiFi module of the voice remote controller is closed, and the Bluetooth module of the voice remote controller enters a low-power dormant state. Wherein the updated status data of the air conditioner includes: the running state data of the air conditioner is the state data of the air conditioner which can be set and displayed by the voice remote controller, such as the starting or shutting data (starting state or shutting state) of the air conditioner, the running mode data (heating mode, refrigerating mode, automatic mode or dehumidifying mode and the like) of the air conditioner, the current running wind speed (automatic, mute, low wind speed, middle and low wind speeds, middle and high wind speeds, high wind speeds or strong) of the air conditioner, the current temperature of the air conditioner and the like. In the low power sleep state, the voice remote controller enters a low power sleep mode to reduce power consumption. In the low power sleep mode, the voice remote control only maintains basic functions, such as a function of receiving a user instruction to enable the voice remote control to enter an active state and a function of communicating with an air conditioner and inquiring air conditioner state data. The voice remote controller can balance the power consumption of the Bluetooth module and the use requirement of the voice remote controller by setting the sleep time of the voice remote controller.
In the scheme of the invention, the voice remote controller is provided with the Bluetooth module and the WiFi module, the Bluetooth module can provide a Bluetooth communication mode when the communication requirement is smaller, and the power consumption is low, and the WiFi module can provide a WiFi communication mode when the communication requirement is larger, so that the control communication with the smaller communication requirement is realized in the same local area network (such as a home local area network) by adopting the Bluetooth communication mode with low power consumption, and the control communication such as voice communication and convenient voice call connection with the larger communication requirement in the home are realized by adopting the WiFi communication mode, thereby not only improving the endurance capacity of the voice remote controller, but also expanding the application scene of the voice remote controller and facilitating the convenient use of users; therefore, the problem that the endurance of the voice remote controller is weak is solved, and the problem that the voice remote controller cannot conduct voice communication is also solved.
In some embodiments, in step S140, the current remote controller selects, according to the communication data amount corresponding to the control command, whether to communicate by using a bluetooth communication mode of a bluetooth module of the current remote controller or a WiFi communication mode of a WiFi module of the current remote controller, so as to transmit the control command, where the method includes any one of the following selection modes:
The first option is: if the control instruction is a control instruction received and executed for the first time, the current remote controller is enabled to select to communicate through a Bluetooth communication mode of a Bluetooth module of the current remote controller or a WiFi communication mode of a WiFi module of the current remote controller according to the communication data volume corresponding to the control instruction so as to transmit the control instruction;
the second option is: if the control instruction is a control instruction received and executed after the first time, acquiring a communication mode selected when the control instruction is received and executed for the first time, and communicating so as to transmit the control instruction; the communication mode is the Bluetooth communication mode or the WiFi communication mode.
In the scheme of the invention, the voice remote controller is provided with the Bluetooth module and the WiFi module, the Bluetooth module can provide a Bluetooth communication mode when the communication requirement of smaller data volume is met, the power consumption is low, and the WiFi module can provide a WiFi communication mode when the communication requirement of larger data volume is met; therefore, conventional key control (i.e. communication control of non-voice communication) between the voice remote controller and the air conditioner is realized through a low-power-consumption Bluetooth communication mode, the problem of high power consumption caused by the fact that the voice remote controller only uses a WiFi communication mode to perform conventional key control (i.e. communication control of non-voice communication) and voice communication is solved, and convenience of a user in using the voice remote controller is improved; and the voice call between different voice remote controllers in the local area network is established, so that the solution of the voice call between different voice remote controllers in the local area network is provided, and the convenience of using the voice remote controllers by users is further improved.
In some embodiments, in step S140, the current remote controller selects, according to the communication data amount corresponding to the control command, whether to communicate by using the bluetooth communication mode of the bluetooth module of the current remote controller or the WiFi communication mode of the WiFi module of the current remote controller, so as to transmit the control command, where the method includes any one of the following selection cases:
first selection case: if the control instruction of the user is a key control instruction sent by the user, selecting a Bluetooth communication mode of a Bluetooth module of the current remote controller to communicate so as to transmit the control instruction;
second selection case: if the control instruction of the user is a voice control instruction sent by the user, selecting a WiFi communication mode of a WiFi module of the current remote controller to communicate so as to transmit the control instruction;
third selection case: if the control instruction of the user is a voice call instruction sent by the user, the Bluetooth communication mode of the Bluetooth module of the current remote controller and the WiFi communication mode of the WiFi module of the current remote controller are combined to communicate so as to transmit the control instruction.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, the low power consumption control method of the voice remote controller system in the solution of the present invention further includes: in step 12, the user may trigger the voice remote control to bring the voice remote control into an active state by pressing an active key of the voice remote control (which may be any key on the voice remote control). Under the condition that the voice remote controller enters an activated state, at the moment, a display screen of the voice remote controller is started, a WiFi module of the voice remote controller and a Bluetooth module of the voice remote controller enter different states according to different activated keys, and the following exemplary description can be seen.
First case: when a user presses a common key (such as a power on/off key, a mode key, a temperature key and the like) of the voice remote controller, the user can selectively use low-power Bluetooth for communication in the control process of less data, and at the moment, the low-power Bluetooth is used for one-to-one control; or in the control process of more data, the WiFi module is used for direct connection mode communication, and at the moment, the WiFi module is used for one-to-one control.
Wherein, less data refers to the data quantity which can be contained in the Bluetooth communication single packet, which is less than or equal to 255 bytes. More data means that the Bluetooth communication single packet can accommodate more than 255 bytes of data. Bluetooth is used if the data size can be completed using Bluetooth one time communication, and WiFi is used if the data size cannot be completed using Bluetooth one time communication.
Second case: when a user presses a voice key of the voice remote controller (such as pressing a pickup key and releasing a stop recording key), wiFi directly enters a direct communication state, and a WiFi module is used for one-to-one control, such as one-to-one control of an air conditioner.
Because the voice communication data is communication data with large data volume, and the data volume of the Bluetooth communication data is smaller, the data volume of WiFi communication is not large, and therefore, although the power consumption of a remote controller of a Bluetooth module is small, the long-lasting cruising can be ensured, but stable and reliable voice communication capability cannot be provided; and only the remote controller of the WiFi module can ensure voice transmission of large data volume, but the power consumption is large, and the battery endurance cannot be ensured. Therefore, the scheme of the invention provides a local area network voice remote controller system and a control method thereof, a low-power Bluetooth module provides support on the communication requirement of smaller data transmission quantity, the high-power consumption performance of a WiFi module on conventional control and voice call connection is reduced, the problem of high power consumption caused by conventional control and voice call connection by using WiFi communication only by a voice remote controller is solved, the cruising ability of the voice remote controller can be improved, voice calls among the voice remote controllers are realized, the use scene of the voice remote controller is expanded, and the convenience of a user for using the voice remote controller is improved.
In some embodiments, in step S140, when the control instruction of the user is a voice call instruction sent by the user, the bluetooth communication mode of the bluetooth module of the current remote controller and the WiFi communication mode of the WiFi module of the current remote controller are combined to perform communication, so as to refer to the specific process of transmitting the control instruction as follows.
The following is a schematic flow chart of an embodiment of a control method for performing a voice call between voice remote controllers in the method of the present invention shown in fig. 4, further describing a specific process of performing control command transmission in step S140 when the control command is a voice call command, where the specific process includes: steps S410 to S470.
Step S410, in the family range, the current remote controller is marked as a first remote controller (such as a remote controller A), and the other voice remote controller in the family range is marked as a second remote controller (such as a remote controller B); accordingly, the air conditioner paired with the first remote controller is referred to as a first air conditioner, and the air conditioner paired with the second remote controller is referred to as a second air conditioner.
Step S420, when the voice call instruction sent by the user is a voice call instruction that the user needs to perform a voice call with the second remote controller through the first remote controller, the first remote controller sends a voice call request corresponding to the voice call instruction to the first air conditioner through a bluetooth communication mode or a WiFi communication mode between the first remote controller and the first air conditioner when receiving the voice call instruction.
Step S430, when the first air conditioner receives the voice call request, the first air conditioner transmits the voice call request to the second air conditioner through a WiFi communication method between the first air conditioner and the second air conditioner.
Step S440, when the second air conditioner receives the voice call request, the voice call request corresponding to the voice call instruction is sent to the second remote controller through a bluetooth communication mode or a WiFi communication mode between the second air conditioner and the second remote controller.
Step S450, after the second remote controller receives a call response message sent by another user agreeing to the voice call request, the call response message is reversely transmitted to the first remote controller based on the transmission path of the voice call request, and after the first remote controller receives the call response message.
Step S460, if the WiFi module of the first remote controller periodically sends a detection signal, and the signal quality in the response signal of the received second remote controller within the home range is above the set signal quality, then a communication connection between the first remote controller and the second remote controller is established, so that the first remote controller and the second remote controller directly perform voice communication through a WiFi communication mode.
In step S470, if the WiFi module of the first remote controller periodically sends a detection signal, and the signal quality in the response signal of the received second remote controller within the home range is lower than the set signal quality, the first remote controller and the second remote controller indirectly perform the voice call according to the transmission path of the voice call request through the bluetooth communication mode and the WiFi communication mode, or the WiFi communication mode and the WiFi communication mode.
After the first remote controller receives the call response message, the first remote controller detects the peripheral remote controller to obtain the WiFi signal quality of the second remote controller. If the quality of the WiFi signal which is directly communicated before the first remote controller and the second remote controller is better, the first remote controller can be directly communicated with the second remote controller through WiFi. If the WiFi signal quality of the direct communication between the first remote controller and the second remote controller is poor or no signal exists, the first remote controller adopts an indirect communication mode, namely a communication mode of the first remote controller, the first air conditioner, the second air conditioner and the second remote controller. It should be noted that, whether direct communication or indirect communication, there is a procedure in which the first remote controller makes a voice call request and replies to the second remote controller.
Specifically, fig. 7 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a lan voice call control method of the voice remote control system. As shown in fig. 7, the local area network voice call control method of the voice remote control system includes:
step 21, more than two air conditioners are arranged in the household. All air conditioners in the home are networked by using a WiFi module and adopting a WiFi direct communication mode; in each air conditioner in the network, the identification information of all air conditioners in the home and the identification information of the air conditioner closest to each air conditioner are stored, and then step 22 can be executed to perform voice communication between different air conditioners in the network.
The mobile device (such as a mobile phone) can be used for adding newly added air conditioners in the home into the network, and all air conditioners in the network automatically update the identification information of the newly added air conditioner in the home stored in each air conditioner. In a home, each air conditioner always carries out WiFi direct communication with the air conditioner closest to the air conditioner. When WiFi direct communication is performed, each air conditioner responds based on received communication content when the air conditioner is a communication receiver, and when the air conditioner receives the communication content because the air conditioner is not the communication receiver but is close to the communication sender, the air conditioner forwards the communication content in a network.
In the process that each air conditioner in the home always carries out WiFi direct communication with the air conditioner closest to the air conditioner, when the air conditioner closest to the air conditioner is determined, the air conditioner is determined according to the signal quality of the air conditioner and the air conditioner identification information. After the current voice remote controller sends out a detection signal, according to the signal quality of a WiFi response signal returned by the current voice remote controller and the identification information of the air conditioner, the air conditioner with the best WiFi response signal is determined to be the nearest air conditioner to the current voice remote controller.
Step 22, recording one voice remote controller in the family as a remote controller A and the other voice remote controller as a remote controller B. The air conditioner corresponding to the remote controller A is the air conditioner A, and the air conditioner corresponding to the remote controller B is the air conditioner B. The remote control a can optionally use a key combination to determine another remote control B that needs a voice call connection. Specifically, firstly, the remote controller B needs to be bound with a specific key combination on the remote controller A, the combination key of the remote controller A can be pressed for a long time in a mode of adding any key, for example, a mode key is pressed down and a refrigerating key is pressed down, and meanwhile, the same combination key of the remote controller B is pressed for a long time, when the remote controller A and the remote controller B are both successfully bound, the key combination of the remote controller A is determined to correspond to the remote controller B, and the key combination of the remote controller B corresponds to the remote controller A; and then the remote controller A can determine the remote controller B needing voice call through the bound key combination, for example, the remote controller A can initiate voice call to the remote controller B through the previously bound mode key plus the refrigeration key, and the remote controller B can also initiate voice call to the remote controller A in the same way. Step 23 is then performed.
Step 23, the remote controller a initiates a voice call request to the paired air conditioner a by using a bluetooth low energy communication mode or a WiFi direct communication mode, and then step 24 is executed.
When the remote controller A selects to use the low-power-consumption Bluetooth communication mode or the WiFi direct communication mode, the communication mode of the time is determined according to the low-power-consumption Bluetooth communication mode or the WiFi direct communication mode used in the last communication mode, and the last communication mode is used in the process of initiating a voice call request with the air conditioner B to the paired air conditioner A; of course, a low-power consumption Bluetooth communication mode is used by default, and a WiFi direct communication mode is selected when the communication data volume is large.
Step 24, the air conditioner a forwards the voice call request initiated by the remote controller a to the air conditioner B through the network by using the WiFi direct communication mode, and then step 25 is executed.
Step 25, after receiving the voice call request initiated by the air conditioner a, the air conditioner B forwards the voice call request initiated by the air conditioner a to the remote controller B paired with the air conditioner B by using the bluetooth low energy communication method, and then step 26 is executed.
Step 26, after receiving the voice call request sent by the air conditioner a and forwarded by the air conditioner B, the remote controller B is reminded of receiving the connection request of the voice call in a manner that the display screen of the remote controller B is lightened for display, and then step 27 is executed.
Step 27, after receiving the key of the user to confirm whether to allow receiving the voice call request of the remote controller a, the remote controller B replies the response information allowing the voice call to the remote controller a according to the original path, and then step 28 is executed.
Step 28, after the remote controller B agrees to receive the voice call request of the remote controller a, the remote controller B keeps the active state for 30 seconds, waits for the remote controller a to initiate the WiFi call, and then executes step 29.
And 29, after receiving the response information of the remote controller B agreeing to carry out voice call, the remote controller A actively detects the WiFi signal so as to enable other remote controllers nearby the remote controller A in an activated state to carry out response.
The reply response message of the other remote controllers contains the remote control identification information of the other remote controllers. And the remote controller A determines the WiFi direct communication reliability of the remote controller B according to the signal quality of the message replied by the nearby remote controller and the remote control identification information. If the quality of the WiFi signal returned by the remote controller B is good and is within a reliable communication threshold range (for example, -40dbm to-85 dbm), the remote controller A directly communicates with the remote controller B through WiFi direct connection; of course, the method includes judging whether the strength of the returned WiFi signal is within the set strength threshold, if the quality of the returned WiFi signal of the remote controller B is poor or the signal is not received, the remote controller a directly performs WiFi direct communication with the air conditioner a, the air conditioner a forwards the air conditioner B in the internet, the air conditioner B establishes direct communication with the remote controller B, and then step 30 is executed.
The remote controller A directly communicates with the air conditioner A in a WiFi direct communication mode, the air conditioner A forwards communication contents to the air conditioner B in the network, and the air conditioner B establishes the direct communication with the remote controller B and then can conduct voice communication. In the whole connection process, if a certain section of WiFi direct connection signal does not reach a reliable communication threshold value, prompting that the communication is not suitable.
And step 30, after the communication between the remote controller A and the remote controller B is completed, the remote controller A actively disconnects the WiFi connection with the remote controller B and enters a dormant state.
For example: when the voice remote controller is not used at ordinary times, the voice remote controller is in a dormant state, and after a user picks up the voice remote controller and presses a switch, the voice remote controller sends a starting instruction to an air conditioner matched with the voice remote controller through a Bluetooth module; the user walks to the child bedroom by taking the voice remote controller, and the voice remote controller is immediately matched with the air conditioner of the child bedroom, so that the air conditioner of the child bedroom can be directly controlled; the user walks to the living room by taking the voice remote controller, and the voice remote controller is immediately matched with the living room air conditioner, so that the living room air conditioner can be directly controlled; the user presses the key combination of the remote controller A in the living room to initiate a call to the remote controller B in the bedroom of the child, the call starts after the key confirmation of the remote controller B, and the remote controller A enters the dormant state again after the call is completed.
In the scheme of the invention, a voice remote controller transmits a voice data channel, wiFi is used for voice data transmission, voice communication is realized, and stable voice communication guarantee in a local area network is provided based on WiFi; in the family, bind through the air conditioner that binds a voice remote controller and this voice remote controller's nearest air conditioner between the different air conditioners, the air conditioner in the family uses WIFI direct communication mode to carry out the network deployment to communicate through the LAN that the air conditioner constitutes between the messenger voice remote controller, promote to carry out the voice call between the remote controller, also can carry out the voice call through the LAN that the air conditioner constitutes between the voice remote controller, expanded the application scenario of ordinary voice remote controller, convenience of customers uses conveniently, promotes user's use experience. In the related scheme, a Bluetooth voice remote controller is used, and is limited by the limitation of Bluetooth communication on large voice data, so that stable, reliable and long-distance voice communication cannot be provided; the scheme of the invention provides stable and reliable voice big data communication by means of WiFi, and simultaneously utilizes Bluetooth to establish low-power consumption communication of small data such as control, connection and the like, so that the problem of large power consumption of the WiFi voice remote controller is solved on the whole, and the voice communication scheme is provided in an expanding way.
According to the scheme, whether the communication mode is a low-power Bluetooth communication mode or a high-power WiFi communication mode (namely WiFi direct communication) is determined according to the data transmission quantity required by the communication requirement of communication between the voice remote controller and the electrical equipment (such as an air conditioner), if the data transmission quantity required by the communication requirement of communication between the voice remote controller and the electrical equipment (such as the air conditioner) is smaller than the data transmission quantity required by the communication requirement of non-voice key control, the low-power Bluetooth communication mode is adopted; if the data transmission amount required by the communication requirement of the communication between the voice remote controller and the electrical equipment (such as an air conditioner) is large, if the communication requirement of the communication between the voice remote controller and the electrical equipment (such as the air conditioner) is that of the voice communication or even that of the voice communication, a WiFi communication mode with high power consumption is used. Therefore, the Bluetooth communication mode with low power consumption is adopted under the condition that the data transmission amount required by the communication requirement of communication between the voice remote controller and the electrical equipment (such as an air conditioner) is smaller, so that the power consumption brought by communication control when the WiFi module of the voice remote controller is smaller in the data transmission amount required by the communication requirement of communication between the voice remote controller and the electrical equipment (such as the air conditioner) can be reduced; in addition, because the power consumption of the WiFi module of the voice remote controller is reduced, the endurance time of the voice remote controller is prolonged, and accordingly, the high power consumption performance of the WiFi module on communication connection when the communication control of voice communication and voice communication is performed when the data transmission amount required by the communication requirement of communication between the voice remote controller and electrical equipment (such as an air conditioner) is large is improved.
By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment, the voice remote controller is provided with the Bluetooth module and the WiFi module, and the air conditioner which can be matched with the voice remote controller is provided with the Bluetooth module and the WiFi module; when the voice remote controller is paired with the air conditioner closest to the voice remote controller, a Bluetooth module is adopted for pairing; after pairing is completed, when the voice remote controller receives a key instruction of a user, a Bluetooth module is adopted to communicate with a paired air conditioner; when the voice remote controller receives a voice instruction of a user, a WiFi module is adopted to communicate with a paired air conditioner; when the voice remote controller needs to carry out voice call with other voice remote controllers, after the voice remote controller initiates a voice call request to an air conditioner paired with the voice remote controller by using a low-power Bluetooth communication mode or a WiFi direct communication mode, the paired air conditioner sends the voice call request to other air conditioners paired with other voice remote controllers by using the WiFi direct communication mode; the other air conditioners send the voice call request to other voice remote controllers matched with the air conditioners by using a low-power consumption Bluetooth communication mode or a WiFi direct communication mode; when receiving the voice call request, the other voice remote controllers return response information according to the original path; under the condition that the voice remote controller receives the response information, under the condition that the communication quality between the voice remote controller and other voice remote controllers accords with the direct-connection voice call requirement, the voice remote controller directly carries out voice call with other voice remote controllers through a WiFi direct-connection communication mode; under the condition that the communication quality between the voice remote controller and other voice remote controllers does not meet the direct-connection voice call requirement, the voice remote controller performs voice call with the other voice remote controllers through an original path; therefore, the Bluetooth communication mode is adopted under the condition of small communication data volume by the voice remote controller, the WiFi communication mode is adopted under the condition of large communication data volume, the power consumption of the WiFi communication mode is reduced, the quality of voice communication is ensured, and the use experience of a user is improved.

The first option is: the control unit 104 is further configured to, if the control instruction is a control instruction received and executed for the first time, enable the current remote controller to select, according to the communication data volume corresponding to the control instruction, whether to communicate by a bluetooth communication mode of a bluetooth module of the current remote controller or a WiFi communication mode of a WiFi module of the current remote controller, so as to transmit the control instruction;
the second option is: the control unit 104 is further configured to obtain a communication mode selected when the control instruction is received and executed for the first time, and communicate the control instruction if the control instruction is the control instruction received and executed for the first time, so as to transmit the control instruction; the communication mode is the Bluetooth communication mode or the WiFi communication mode.
In the scheme of the invention, the voice remote controller is provided with the Bluetooth module and the WiFi module, the Bluetooth module can provide a Bluetooth communication mode when the communication requirement of smaller data volume is met, the power consumption is low, and the WiFi module can provide a WiFi communication mode when the communication requirement of larger data volume is met; therefore, conventional key control (i.e. communication control of non-voice communication) between the voice remote controller and the air conditioner is realized through a low-power-consumption Bluetooth communication mode, the problem of high power consumption caused by the fact that the voice remote controller only uses a WiFi communication mode to perform conventional key control (i.e. communication control of non-voice communication) and voice communication is solved, and convenience of a user in using the voice remote controller is improved; and the voice call between different voice remote controllers in the local area network is established, so that the solution of the voice call between different voice remote controllers in the local area network is provided, and the convenience of using the voice remote controllers by users is further improved.
In some embodiments, the control unit 104 makes the current remote controller select, according to the communication data amount corresponding to the control instruction, whether to communicate by using the bluetooth communication mode of the bluetooth module of the current remote controller or the WiFi communication mode of the WiFi module of the current remote controller, so as to transmit the control instruction, and further includes any one of the following selection cases:
first selection case: the control unit 104 is further configured to select to communicate by a bluetooth communication mode of the bluetooth module of the current remote controller to transmit the control instruction if the control instruction of the user is a key control instruction sent by the user;

third selection case: if the control instruction of the user is a voice call instruction sent by the user, the Bluetooth communication mode of the Bluetooth module of the current remote controller and the WiFi communication mode of the WiFi module of the current remote controller are combined to communicate so as to transmit the control instruction.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, the low power consumption control device of the voice remote control system in the solution of the present invention further includes: in step 12, the user may trigger the voice remote control to bring the voice remote control into an active state by pressing an active key of the voice remote control (which may be any key on the voice remote control). Under the condition that the voice remote controller enters an activated state, at the moment, a display screen of the voice remote controller is started, a WiFi module of the voice remote controller and a Bluetooth module of the voice remote controller enter different states according to different activated keys, and the following exemplary description can be seen.
First case: when a user presses a common key (such as a power on/off key, a mode key, a temperature key and the like) of the voice remote controller, the user can selectively use low-power Bluetooth for communication in the control process of less data, and at the moment, the low-power Bluetooth is used for one-to-one control; or in the control process of more data, the WiFi module is used for direct connection mode communication, and at the moment, the WiFi module is used for one-to-one control.
Wherein, less data refers to the data quantity which can be contained in the Bluetooth communication single packet, which is less than or equal to 255 bytes. More data means that the Bluetooth communication single packet can accommodate more than 255 bytes of data. Bluetooth is used if the data size can be completed using Bluetooth one time communication, and WiFi is used if the data size cannot be completed using Bluetooth one time communication.
Second case: when a user presses a voice key of the voice remote controller (such as pressing a pickup key and releasing a stop recording key), wiFi directly enters a direct communication state, and a WiFi module is used for one-to-one control, such as one-to-one control of an air conditioner.
Because the voice communication data is communication data with large data volume, and the data volume of the Bluetooth communication data is smaller, the data volume of WiFi communication is not large, and therefore, although the power consumption of a remote controller of a Bluetooth module is small, the long-lasting cruising can be ensured, but stable and reliable voice communication capability cannot be provided; and only the remote controller of the WiFi module can ensure voice transmission of large data volume, but the power consumption is large, and the battery endurance cannot be ensured. Therefore, the scheme of the invention provides a local area network voice remote controller system and a control method thereof, a low-power Bluetooth module provides support on the communication requirement of smaller data transmission quantity, the high-power consumption performance of a WiFi module on conventional control and voice call connection is reduced, the problem of high power consumption caused by conventional control and voice call connection by using WiFi communication only by a voice remote controller is solved, the cruising ability of the voice remote controller can be improved, voice calls among the voice remote controllers are realized, the use scene of the voice remote controller is expanded, and the convenience of a user for using the voice remote controller is improved.
In some embodiments, when the control instruction of the user is a voice call instruction sent by the user, the control unit 104 is configured to communicate with a bluetooth communication mode of a bluetooth module of the current remote controller and a WiFi communication mode of a WiFi module of the current remote controller, so as to transmit the control instruction, and specifically includes:
the control unit 104 is specifically further configured to record the current remote control as a first remote control (such as remote control a) and record the other voice remote control in the home range as a second remote control (such as remote control B) in the home range; accordingly, the air conditioner paired with the first remote controller is referred to as a first air conditioner, and the air conditioner paired with the second remote controller is referred to as a second air conditioner. The specific function and process of the control unit 104 also refer to step S410.
The control unit 104 is specifically further configured to, when the voice call instruction sent by the user is a voice call instruction that the user needs to perform voice call with the second remote controller through the first remote controller, enable the voice call request corresponding to the voice call instruction to be sent to the first air conditioner through a bluetooth communication mode or a WiFi communication mode between the first remote controller and the first air conditioner when the first remote controller receives the voice call instruction. The specific function and process of the control unit 104 also refer to step S420.
The control unit 104 is specifically further configured to, when the first air conditioner receives the voice call request, enable the first air conditioner to transmit the voice call request to the second air conditioner through a WiFi communication mode of the first air conditioner and the second air conditioner. The specific function and process of the control unit 104 also refer to step S430.
The control unit 104 is specifically further configured to send, when the second air conditioner receives the voice call request, the voice call request corresponding to the voice call instruction to the second remote controller through a bluetooth communication mode or a WiFi communication mode between the second air conditioner and the second remote controller. The specific function and processing of the control unit 104 is also referred to in step S440.
The control unit 104 is specifically further configured to, after the second remote controller receives a call response message sent by another user agreeing to the voice call request, reversely transmit the call response message to the first remote controller based on a transmission path of the voice call request, and after the first remote controller receives the call response message. The specific function and process of the control unit 104 also refer to step S450.
The control unit 104 is specifically further configured to, if the WiFi module of the first remote controller periodically sends a detection signal and receives that the signal quality in the response signal of the second remote controller within the home range is above the set signal quality, establish a communication connection between the first remote controller and the second remote controller, so that the first remote controller and the second remote controller directly perform voice communication through a WiFi communication manner. The specific function and process of the control unit 104 also refer to step S460.
The control unit 104 is specifically further configured to, if the WiFi module of the first remote controller periodically sends a detection signal, and the signal quality in the response signal received by the WiFi module of the second remote controller within the home range is below a set signal quality, enable the first remote controller and the second remote controller to indirectly perform voice call in a bluetooth communication mode and a WiFi communication mode or a WiFi communication mode and a WiFi communication mode according to the transmission path of the voice call request. The specific function and processing of the control unit 104 is also referred to in step S470.
After the first remote controller receives the call response message, the first remote controller detects the peripheral remote controller to obtain the WiFi signal quality of the second remote controller. If the quality of the WiFi signal which is directly communicated before the first remote controller and the second remote controller is better, the first remote controller can be directly communicated with the second remote controller through WiFi. If the WiFi signal quality of the direct communication between the first remote controller and the second remote controller is poor or no signal exists, the first remote controller adopts an indirect communication mode, namely a communication mode of the first remote controller, the first air conditioner, the second air conditioner and the second remote controller. It should be noted that, whether direct communication or indirect communication, there is a procedure in which the first remote controller makes a voice call request and replies to the second remote controller.
Specifically, fig. 7 is a flow chart of an embodiment of a lan voice call control device of the voice remote control system. As shown in fig. 7, the local area network voice call control apparatus of the voice remote control system includes:
step 21, more than two air conditioners are arranged in the household. All air conditioners in the home are networked by using a WiFi module and adopting a WiFi direct communication mode; in each air conditioner in the network, the identification information of all air conditioners in the home and the identification information of the air conditioner closest to each air conditioner are stored, and then step 22 can be executed to perform voice communication between different air conditioners in the network.
The mobile device (such as a mobile phone) can be used for adding newly added air conditioners in the home into the network, and all air conditioners in the network automatically update the identification information of the newly added air conditioner in the home stored in each air conditioner. In a home, each air conditioner always carries out WiFi direct communication with the air conditioner closest to the air conditioner. When WiFi direct communication is performed, each air conditioner responds based on received communication content when the air conditioner is a communication receiver, and when the air conditioner receives the communication content because the air conditioner is not the communication receiver but is close to the communication sender, the air conditioner forwards the communication content in a network.
In the process that each air conditioner in the home always carries out WiFi direct communication with the air conditioner closest to the air conditioner, when the air conditioner closest to the air conditioner is determined, the air conditioner is determined according to the signal quality of the air conditioner and the air conditioner identification information. After the current voice remote controller sends out a detection signal, according to the signal quality of a WiFi response signal returned by the current voice remote controller and the identification information of the air conditioner, the air conditioner with the best WiFi response signal is determined to be the nearest air conditioner to the current voice remote controller.
Step 22, recording one voice remote controller in the family as a remote controller A and the other voice remote controller as a remote controller B. The air conditioner corresponding to the remote controller A is the air conditioner A, and the air conditioner corresponding to the remote controller B is the air conditioner B. The remote control a can optionally use a key combination to determine another remote control B that needs a voice call connection. Specifically, firstly, the remote controller B needs to be bound with a specific key combination on the remote controller A, the combination key of the remote controller A can be pressed for a long time in a mode of adding any key, for example, a mode key is pressed down and a refrigerating key is pressed down, and meanwhile, the same combination key of the remote controller B is pressed for a long time, when the remote controller A and the remote controller B are both successfully bound, the key combination of the remote controller A is determined to correspond to the remote controller B, and the key combination of the remote controller B corresponds to the remote controller A; and then the remote controller A can determine the remote controller B needing voice call through the bound key combination, for example, the remote controller A can initiate voice call to the remote controller B through the previously bound mode key plus the refrigeration key, and the remote controller B can also initiate voice call to the remote controller A in the same way. Step 23 is then performed.
Step 23, the remote controller a initiates a voice call request to the paired air conditioner a by using a bluetooth low energy communication mode or a WiFi direct communication mode, and then step 24 is executed.
When the remote controller A selects to use the low-power-consumption Bluetooth communication mode or the WiFi direct communication mode, the communication mode of the time is determined according to the low-power-consumption Bluetooth communication mode or the WiFi direct communication mode used in the last communication mode, and the last communication mode is used in the process of initiating a voice call request with the air conditioner B to the paired air conditioner A; of course, a low-power consumption Bluetooth communication mode is used by default, and a WiFi direct communication mode is selected when the communication data volume is large.
Step 24, the air conditioner a forwards the voice call request initiated by the remote controller a to the air conditioner B through the network by using the WiFi direct communication mode, and then step 25 is executed.
Step 25, after receiving the voice call request initiated by the air conditioner a, the air conditioner B forwards the voice call request initiated by the air conditioner a to the remote controller B paired with the air conditioner B by using the bluetooth low energy communication method, and then step 26 is executed.
Step 26, after receiving the voice call request sent by the air conditioner a and forwarded by the air conditioner B, the remote controller B is reminded of receiving the connection request of the voice call in a manner that the display screen of the remote controller B is lightened for display, and then step 27 is executed.
Step 27, after receiving the key of the user to confirm whether to allow receiving the voice call request of the remote controller a, the remote controller B replies the response information allowing the voice call to the remote controller a according to the original path, and then step 28 is executed.
Step 28, after the remote controller B agrees to receive the voice call request of the remote controller a, the remote controller B keeps the active state for 30 seconds, waits for the remote controller a to initiate the WiFi call, and then executes step 29.
And 29, after receiving the response information of the remote controller B agreeing to carry out voice call, the remote controller A actively detects the WiFi signal so as to enable other remote controllers nearby the remote controller A in an activated state to carry out response.
The reply response message of the other remote controllers contains the remote control identification information of the other remote controllers. And the remote controller A determines the WiFi direct communication reliability of the remote controller B according to the signal quality of the message replied by the nearby remote controller and the remote control identification information. If the quality of the WiFi signal returned by the remote controller B is good and is within a reliable communication threshold range (for example, -40dbm to-85 dbm), the remote controller A directly communicates with the remote controller B through WiFi direct connection; of course, the method includes judging whether the strength of the returned WiFi signal is within the set strength threshold, if the quality of the returned WiFi signal of the remote controller B is poor or the signal is not received, the remote controller a directly performs WiFi direct communication with the air conditioner a, the air conditioner a forwards the air conditioner B in the internet, the air conditioner B establishes direct communication with the remote controller B, and then step 30 is executed.
The remote controller A directly communicates with the air conditioner A in a WiFi direct communication mode, the air conditioner A forwards communication contents to the air conditioner B in the network, and the air conditioner B establishes the direct communication with the remote controller B and then can conduct voice communication. In the whole connection process, if a certain section of WiFi direct connection signal does not reach a reliable communication threshold value, prompting that the communication is not suitable.
And step 30, after the communication between the remote controller A and the remote controller B is completed, the remote controller A actively disconnects the WiFi connection with the remote controller B and enters a dormant state.
For example: when the voice remote controller is not used at ordinary times, the voice remote controller is in a dormant state, and after a user picks up the voice remote controller and presses a switch, the voice remote controller sends a starting instruction to an air conditioner matched with the voice remote controller through a Bluetooth module; the user walks to the child bedroom by taking the voice remote controller, and the voice remote controller is immediately matched with the air conditioner of the child bedroom, so that the air conditioner of the child bedroom can be directly controlled; the user walks to the living room by taking the voice remote controller, and the voice remote controller is immediately matched with the living room air conditioner, so that the living room air conditioner can be directly controlled; the user presses the key combination of the remote controller A in the living room to initiate a call to the remote controller B in the bedroom of the child, the call starts after the key confirmation of the remote controller B, and the remote controller A enters the dormant state again after the call is completed.
In the scheme of the invention, a voice remote controller transmits a voice data channel, wiFi is used for voice data transmission, voice communication is realized, and stable voice communication guarantee in a local area network is provided based on WiFi; in the family, bind through the air conditioner that binds a voice remote controller and this voice remote controller's nearest air conditioner between the different air conditioners, the air conditioner in the family uses WIFI direct communication mode to carry out the network deployment to communicate through the LAN that the air conditioner constitutes between the messenger voice remote controller, promote to carry out the voice call between the remote controller, also can carry out the voice call through the LAN that the air conditioner constitutes between the voice remote controller, expanded the application scenario of ordinary voice remote controller, convenience of customers uses conveniently, promotes user's use experience. In the related scheme, a Bluetooth voice remote controller is used, and is limited by the limitation of Bluetooth communication on large voice data, so that stable, reliable and long-distance voice communication cannot be provided; the scheme of the invention provides stable and reliable voice big data communication by means of WiFi, and simultaneously utilizes Bluetooth to establish low-power consumption communication of small data such as control, connection and the like, so that the problem of large power consumption of the WiFi voice remote controller is solved on the whole, and the voice communication scheme is provided in an expanding way.
According to the scheme, whether the communication mode is a low-power Bluetooth communication mode or a high-power WiFi communication mode (namely WiFi direct communication) is determined according to the data transmission quantity required by the communication requirement of communication between the voice remote controller and the electrical equipment (such as an air conditioner), if the data transmission quantity required by the communication requirement of communication between the voice remote controller and the electrical equipment (such as the air conditioner) is smaller than the data transmission quantity required by the communication requirement of non-voice key control, the low-power Bluetooth communication mode is adopted; if the data transmission amount required by the communication requirement of the communication between the voice remote controller and the electrical equipment (such as an air conditioner) is large, if the communication requirement of the communication between the voice remote controller and the electrical equipment (such as the air conditioner) is that of the voice communication or even that of the voice communication, a WiFi communication mode with high power consumption is used. Therefore, the Bluetooth communication mode with low power consumption is adopted under the condition that the data transmission amount required by the communication requirement of communication between the voice remote controller and the electrical equipment (such as an air conditioner) is smaller, so that the power consumption brought by communication control when the WiFi module of the voice remote controller is smaller in the data transmission amount required by the communication requirement of communication between the voice remote controller and the electrical equipment (such as the air conditioner) can be reduced; in addition, because the power consumption of the WiFi module of the voice remote controller is reduced, the endurance time of the voice remote controller is prolonged, and accordingly, the high power consumption performance of the WiFi module on communication connection when the communication control of voice communication and voice communication is performed when the data transmission amount required by the communication requirement of communication between the voice remote controller and electrical equipment (such as an air conditioner) is large is improved.
