[Third Embodiment]

Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of a plane usage of the switch control system of a smart electrical appliance according to a third embodiment of the present invention applied to indoor and outdoor spaces.

As shown in Figure 3, an indoor space is divided into multiple areas, such as dining area DINING, kitchen area KITCHEN, activity area LIVING, laundry area LAUNDRY, bathing area BATH, and bedroom areas BED1, BED2, BED3. These areas can interact with each other. Connected or separated from each other by walls and doors.

In the dining area DINING, a number of electric lights LT11, LT12 are set up. In the kitchen area KITCHEN, a number of electric lights LT21, LT22 are installed. In the activity area LIVING, a number of electric lights LT31, LT32 are set up. In the laundry area LAUNDRY, an electric light LT4 is installed. In the bathing area BATH, an electric light LT5 is installed. In the bedroom area BED3, an electric light LT6 is installed. In the bedroom area BED2, an electric light LT7 is installed. In the bedroom area BED1, multiple electric lights LT8 and LT9 are installed. In addition, an electric light LT10 is installed in an outdoor area. It should be understood that, in this embodiment, an electric lamp is exemplified for description, but the present invention is not limited to this. In practice, the electric lamp can be replaced with various household appliances or other electronic devices.

In addition, in this indoor space, such as but not limited to the kitchen area KITCHEN, a central control device COT is installed, and multiple switch devices SW1 to SW12 are separately provided in multiple areas of the indoor space to connect to the central control device COT. The switch device SW1 is connected to the electric lamps LT11 and LT12. The switch devices SW2 and SW3 are connected to the electric lamps LT21 and LT22. The switch devices SW4 and SW5 are connected to the electric lamps LT31 and LT32. The switch device SW6 is connected to the electric lamp LT4. The switch device SW7 is connected to the electric lamp LT10. The switch device SW8 is connected to the electric lamp LT5. The switch device SW9 is connected to the electric lamp LT7. The switch device SW10 is connected to the electric lamp LT6. The switch device SW11 is connected to the electric lamp LT8. The switch device SW12 is connected to the electric lamp LT9.

When a user L1 holds a beacon device (such as but not limited to a mobile phone) and enters the active area LIVING of the indoor space, the beacon device outputs a beacon signal. At this time, the switch device SW1 within a distance of the position of the beacon device held by the user L1 (for example, the closest distance among the plurality of switch devices SW1 ~ SW12), wirelessly connect the beacon device to receive the beacon device output According to the beacon signal, it outputs a distance determination signal to the central control device COT.

It is worth noting that the switch device SW1 is the closest to the user L1, but the closest to the user L1 is not the light LT11, LT12 connected to the switch SW1, but the light LT31 connected to the switch SW4, so The central control device COT does not switch the switch device SW1 that receives the beacon signal, and controls the operation of the lamps LT11 and LT12 connected to the switch device SW1.

In detail, the central control device COT searches for spatial information from the spatial database according to the distance determination signal provided by the switch device SW1 to obtain the position of the switch device SW1 in the indoor space. The beacon device and switch are calculated based on the above calculation. The distance between the device SW1 and the position of the switch device SW1 can obtain more spatial information of this space to know the position of the beacon device in the indoor space.

For example, a spatial database can use a checkerboard grid to define multiple regions divided by a space. The spatial database stores multiple grid numbers/codes, representing multiple regions, and stores multiple switch numbers, representing multiple switch devices SW1~SWn, and stores multiple electronic device numbers, representing multiple electronic devices such as Electric light LT11. The spatial database can determine the beacon device (with a unique identification code) in the area of the grid number/code such as G8, within a distance, or the nearest electronic device number based on the distance determination signal and the corresponding spatial information. For example, it is LT31, and the number of the switch device that controls this electronic device is SW4.

The central control device COT looks up the spatial information of multiple electronic devices from the spatial database to know that the home appliance closest to the beacon device is the electric light LT31. Therefore, the central control device COT switches the switch device SW4 to control the operation of the multiple lamps LT31. For example, the central control device COT can switch the switch device SW4 to switch the light LT31 from the off state to the on state, or from one lighting mode (for example, only turning on the yellow light in the light LT31) to another lighting mode (For example, the white light in the electric light LT31 is fully turned on). This is just an example for illustration, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

When another user L2 holds another beacon device and enters the laundry area LAUNDRY of the indoor space, the switch device SW7 within a distance of the location of the beacon device held by the user L2 wirelessly connects to the beacon device to receive Beacon signal, and output a distance determination signal to the central control device COT according to the beacon signal.

The central control device COT judges the distance determination signal received from the switch device SW7 to find the corresponding spatial information from the spatial database, including the location of the switch device SW7 in the space, and the location of the beacon device separated from the switch device SW7 by this distance The location and the space information near the beacon device to know that the beacon device is indoors, and there are electric lights LT4, LT10 in the vicinity/area of the beacon device, and the distance between the beacon device and the electric light LT4, LT10, where the electric light LT4 is indoors, while LT10 is outdoor. According to this, the central control device COT determines that the user L2 holding the beacon device is indoors and needs to turn on the indoor light LT4 instead of the outdoor light LT10, so switch the switch device SW6 to the on position/state. Turn on the light LT4.

Furthermore, the central control device COT judges that the current time is daytime based on the obtained current time information, and the preset switch switching time information indicates that the outdoor light LT10 does not need to be turned on during the day, so when the user L2 holds the beacon device during the daytime When approaching the electric light LT10, do not turn on the electric light LT10.

When the user L2 holding the beacon device moves from the first area in the indoor space, such as the laundry area LAUNDRY, to a second area in the indoor space, such as the bedroom area BED2, the central control device COT switches the switch device SW6 to the off position/ State to turn off the light LT4 in the first area. It should be understood that the first area and the second area mentioned in this article are relative terms, which respectively represent the area where the user L2 is located before the movement (the previous area) and the area where the user L2 is located (the next area) after the movement, and are not limited to specific area.
