In this embodiment, different electrical appliances 102 have different numbers of operating objects 602 .

The user can operate any operation object 602 of the electrical appliance 102 on the operation interface 60 on the touch screen 404 . After any of the operating objects 602 is controlled, the mobile device 40 sends a corresponding second control signal to the control device 20. The control device 20 generates a corresponding first control signal according to the second control signal and sends it to the corresponding control device. electrical appliance 102 to control the electrical appliance 102. For example, after the user clicks on the operating object 602 for turning on/off the light, the mobile device 40 sends a second control signal corresponding to the light to the control device 20, and the control device 20 sends a third controllable option of turning on/off. A control signal is sent to the electric lamp to control the electric lamp to turn on or off.

In one embodiment, in order to prevent the mobile device 40 from arbitrarily obtaining controllable items of the electrical appliance 102, in this embodiment, the mobile device 40 sends an account information to the control device 20. The control device 20 determines whether the account information meets the permission level of at least one controllable item of the corresponding electrical appliance 102. If so, then transmits the controllable item of the corresponding electrical appliance 102 to the mobile device 40; if not, then does not The controllable items of the corresponding electrical appliance 102 are sent to the mobile device 40 . For example, a default account with permissions can be preset in the database 30. The control device 20 can obtain the default account from the database 30, and compare it with the account sent from the mobile device 40, and the comparison is consistent. At this time, the account representing the mobile device 40 has the authority to obtain the controllable items and is allowed to transmit the controllable items to the mobile device 40 .

According to the above, the electrical appliance control system of this invention can use the control device to transmit the controllable items of the electrical appliance corresponding to the location of the mobile device to the mobile device according to the location of the mobile device, so that the mobile device can generate a corresponding operating interface, increasing the usage The convenience of controlling electrical appliances.
