In the second embodiment, the smart device 201 registers the identity code of the registration control device 30 in the registration request information as an area code in the mapping list 1.

Step 4: Each home appliance 10 in the smart home network system 100 receives the inquiry information sent by the smart device 201 and the registration code sent by the registration control device 30, and the area code included in the inquiry information and the registration When the area code included in the code is consistent, the home appliance returns its registration information to the smart device 201 through the second wired communication sub-module 122 and the power line 50. The registration information includes an identification code of the smart device 201, an area code, and configuration information of the home appliance 10. The configuration information of the home appliance includes an identification code and function information of the home appliance.

Step 5: The smart device 201 registers the configuration information of the home appliance in the mapping according to the received area code included in the registration information of the household electrical appliance 10 In the field corresponding to the area code in the list. Thus, the configuration information of the home appliance having the same area code is registered in the same area.

It can be understood that when a new home appliance is added to an already registered area (ie, the original home appliance of the area has been registered in the mapping list in the smart device 201) and needs to be registered in the smart device 201, Just re-execute steps 2~5. It should be noted that, since the identification code of each household electrical appliance is unique, if the home appliance that has been registered in the mapping list receives the registration code again, the information of the household electrical appliance will not be re-registered or repeated. In the mapping list, unless the home appliance moves to a new area, the area code in the registration code received by the household appliance changes, and the information originally registered by the household appliance in the mapping list is erased. And re-register to the field corresponding to the new area code. The process of registering the home appliance in the new area with the smart device 201 is similar to the above steps 1 to 5, and details are not described herein.

Step 6: The smart device 201 generates the control interface 60 according to the mapping list, where the control interface includes a plurality of regions, each region includes an icon of a corresponding home appliance, and each icon corresponds to the home appliance executable Control options.

So far, the registration process of each home appliance in the smart home network system 100 to the smart device 201 ends.

Please refer to FIG. 9 , which is a workflow for registering each household electrical appliance 10 with the smart device 201 in the third embodiment. In the third embodiment, the number of the at least one registration control device 30 is one, and the registration control device 30 is movably disposed in each area in the home.

In the third embodiment, the registration code includes the identity code of the smart device 201 and the area code of the area where the registration control device 30 is located.

Step 5: After receiving the registration code sent by the registration control device 30 through the second wireless communication sub-module 121, the home appliance 10 in the area where the registration control device 30 is located passes the registration information through wireless or wired communication. For example, but not limited to, the second wired communication sub-module 122 and the power line 50 are actively sent to the smart device 201. The registration information includes an identification code of the smart device 201, an area code, and configuration information of the home appliance 10. The configuration information of the home appliance includes an identification code and function information of the home appliance.

Step 6: The smart device 201 registers the configuration information of the household electrical appliance 10 in a field corresponding to the area code in the mapping list according to the received area code included in the registration information of the household electrical appliance 10. Thus, the configuration information of the home appliance having the same area code is registered in the same area.

It can be understood that when a new home appliance is added to an already registered area (ie, the original home appliance of the area has been registered in the mapping list in the smart device 201) and needs to be registered in the smart device 201, Just re-execute steps 2~6. It should be noted that, in step 3, after receiving the registration request information sent by the registration control device 30, the smart device 201 re-allocates another area code in the mapping list and returns it to the registration control device. Since the identification code of each household electrical appliance is unique, the information of the household electrical appliance that has been registered in the mapping list in the area is erased and re-registered into the field below the new regional code, thereby ensuring the All home appliances in the zone are registered in the same zone in the map list.

Similarly, the process of registering the home appliance in a new area with the smart device 201 is similar to steps 2-6 above, except that in step 3, the registration control device 30 can be moved to use in other areas. After receiving the registration request information transmitted by the registration control device 30 again, the smart device 201 re-allocates another area code in the mapping list and returns it to the registration control device. The remaining steps are not repeated here. In this way, the registration control device 30 can be moved to other areas for reuse to save costs.

Step 7: The smart device 201 generates the control interface 60 according to the mapping list, where the control interface includes a plurality of regions, each region includes an icon of a corresponding home appliance, and each icon corresponds to the home appliance executable Control options.

In this way, the configuration information of the home appliance having the same area code is registered in the same area. .

It can be understood that when a new home appliance is added to an already registered area (ie, the original home appliance of the area has been registered in the mapping list in the smart device 201) and needs to be registered in the smart device 201, Just re-execute steps 1~7. It should be noted that, in step 3, after receiving the registration request information sent by the registration control device 30, the smart device 201 re-allocates another area code in the mapping list and returns it to the registration control device. Since the identification code of each household electrical appliance is unique, the information of the household electrical appliance that has been registered in the mapping list in the area is erased and re-registered into the field below the new regional code, thereby ensuring the All home appliances in the zone are registered in the same zone in the map list.

Similarly, the process of registering the home appliance in the new area with the smart device 201 is similar to steps 1-7 above, except that in step 3, the registration control device 30 can be moved to use in other areas. After receiving the registration request information transmitted by the registration control device 30 again, the smart device 201 re-allocates another area code in the mapping list and returns it to the registration control device. The remaining steps are not repeated here. In this way, the registration control device 30 can be moved to other areas for reuse to save costs.

Step 8: The smart device 201 generates the control interface 60 according to the mapping list, where the control interface includes a plurality of regions, each region includes an icon of a corresponding home appliance, and each icon corresponds to the home appliance executable Control options.
