The router 6 communicates with the gateway 5 and the smart speaker 1 through a wireless local area network communication protocol (such as Wi-Fi).

The following describes a process of controlling one or more Internet of Things devices in the room according to the present invention.

First, as shown in step S01, the management electronic device 3 creates a plurality of action command comparison tables respectively corresponding to the Internet of Things devices in the speaker management server 2 according to the operation of the system setting personnel. Each action command comparison table includes a comparison table identification data, a plurality of action annotations that respectively indicate multiple actions, and a plurality of action annotations that respectively correspond to the action annotations and can be recognized by the guest room controller 200 to control the corresponding Internet of Things. The device executes the controller control instructions corresponding to the action. For example, one of the Internet of Things devices is a TV, and the action annotations corresponding to the action command table of the TV indicate "turn on", "turn off", "turn up volume", "turn on" respectively. "Go to the next station" and so on.

Next, as shown in step S02, the management electronic device 3 creates a plurality of device data corresponding to the Internet of Things devices on the speaker management server 2 according to the operation of the system setting personnel. Each device data includes a device. A name (such as "TV") and the corresponding identification data of the lookup table.

Then, as shown in step S03, the management electronic device 3 creates a plurality of event setting data on the speaker management server 2 according to the operation of the system setting personnel. Each event setting data includes one or more device names, and a Corresponding to the device name or a plurality of action annotations respectively corresponding to the device names.

Next, as shown in step S04, when the smart speaker 1 receives an event trigger input from the user, the smart speaker 1 starts from the device name or the device names according to the event setting data that matches the event trigger input. The device data selects the device name or the device name that matches the device name, and selects the action command comparison table based on the selected device data or the comparison table identification data of the device data or the comparison table identification data. The comparison table identification data or the comparison table identification data match, and select the action annotation or the action annotation or the action annotation or the action annotation of the event setting data from the selected action command comparison table or the action command comparison table. The controller control instructions or the controller control instructions corresponding to the corresponding action annotations.

In this embodiment, the event trigger input is the input expressed by the user in speech and natural language. When the smart speaker 1 receives the event trigger input from the user, the smart speaker 1 transmits the event trigger input. The speech-to-text server 300 is provided with the event trigger input converted into text, and the event trigger input converted into text is sent to the intention recognition server 4. The intention recognition server 4 uses natural language processing (Natural language processing). Language Processing (NLP) technology selects the event setting data that matches the event trigger input.

Then, as shown in step S05, the smart speaker 1 transmits the selected controller control instruction or the controller control instructions to the guest room controller 200 through the router 6 and the gateway 5, and the process ends.

Referring to Figures 2 and 3, a second embodiment of the Internet of Things device integrated control system 100 of the present invention has roughly the same hardware connection relationship and steps as the first embodiment. The difference lies in that in the second embodiment The gateway 5 is built into the guest room controller 200, and the router 6 communicates with the gateway 5 and the smart speaker 1 of the guest room controller 200 through a wireless LAN communication protocol, and the smart speaker 1 is The selected controller control instructions or controller control instructions are transmitted to the guest room controller 200 through the router 6 .

The reason why the gateway 5 is additionally used in the first embodiment is that the room controller 200 in some hotels or restaurants cannot communicate with other devices through the wireless LAN communication protocol and only supports physical wiring, so it is necessary The gateway 5 is used to receive the wireless signal from the smart speaker 1 and then transmit the signal to the guest room controller 200 through the physical line. In the second embodiment, when the guest room controller 200 in a hotel or restaurant has built-in the gateway 5, the router 6 can communicate with the guest room controller 200 through the wireless local area network communication protocol. The gateway 5 and the smart speaker 1 communicate.

Referring to Figures 2 and 4, a third embodiment of the Internet of Things device integrated control system 100 of the present invention has roughly the same hardware connection relationship and steps as the second embodiment. The difference is that in the third embodiment The router 6 does not directly communicate with the guest room controller 200, but communicates with a controller management server 400 corresponding to the guest room controller 200 via the Internet (for example, through API serial connection). The smart speaker 1 transmits the selected controller control instructions or the controller control instructions to the guest room controller 200 through the router 6 and the controller management server 400 .

In summary, the Internet of Things device integrated control system 100 of the present invention establishes the action command comparison table and the device data respectively corresponding to the Internet of Things devices in the speaker management server 2, and creates the events. Setting data, and using the smart speaker 1 to compare the matching device data and the action command comparison table according to the event setting data matching the event trigger input to select the corresponding controller control command and send it to the guest room The controller 200 can achieve the effect of controlling the Internet of Things devices of different brands, so that users no longer need to install different systems in order to control the Internet of Things devices of different brands, so the purpose of the present invention can indeed be achieved.

However, the above are only examples of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention. All simple equivalent changes and modifications made based on the patent scope of the present invention and the content of the patent specification are still within the scope of the present invention. Within the scope covered by the patent of this invention.
