The implementation of the method and apparatus for controlling a smart appliance in an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a method for controlling a smart electric appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention. The present embodiment is introduced from the perspective of the operation of the operation controller, and the method may specifically include:

201. The operation controller receives an electrical appliance identifier sent by the smart appliance, and the electrical appliance identifier is used to uniquely identify the smart electrical appliance.

Specifically, the smart appliance stores its own appliance identifier locally. The smart appliance can obtain the appliance identification locally and send it to the operation controller. Wherein, the electrical appliance identifier is used to uniquely identify the smart electrical appliance. The operation controller can uniquely identify the smart appliance according to the electrical identification. For example, the appliance identification may be a product identification number of the smart appliance. Another example is the electrical label The identification may also include the product model number of the smart appliance and the product identification number. For another example, the electrical appliance identifier may further include a supplier identifier and a product identification number of the smart appliance. The electrical identification may be in the form of a bar code, a 2-dimensional bar code, or the like.

In this embodiment, the operational controller has various embodiments for receiving electrical identification from the smart appliance, that is, 201 has various embodiments.

As an example, the 201 may be implemented by: the operation controller may receive an electrical identifier that is actively sent by the smart appliance. Specifically, in the local area network of the smart home, when the smart appliance has not established a communication connection with the operation controller for controlling the smart appliance, the smart appliance can actively scan the operation controller in the local area network and actively send the electric appliance to the operation controller. Logo. When receiving the electrical identification, the operation controller can recognize that the smart electrical appliance has accessed the local area network of the smart home and has not established a communication connection for controlling the smart electrical appliance. At this time, the operation controller can perform the configuration of the subsequent steps for the smart appliance to establish a communication connection between the operation controller and the smart appliance for controlling the smart appliance.

As another example, 201 may specifically include: the operation controller actively sending an identification request to the smart appliance, and receiving the electrical appliance identifier returned by the smart appliance for the identification request. Specifically, in the local area network of the smart home, the operation controller actively sends an identification request to each smart electrical appliance and receives the electrical appliance identifier returned by each smart electrical appliance, and the operation controller can actively scan the electrical appliance identifier stored locally by each smart electrical appliance. When the smart appliance has not established a communication connection with the operation controller for controlling the smart appliance, the operation controller may actively scan the appliance identifier of the smart appliance. Since the operation controller records the electrical identification of the smart electrical appliance that has established the communication connection in the local area network, the operation controller may determine that the electrical appliance identifier that is actively scanned does not belong to the smart electrical appliance that has established the communication connection, and therefore, the operation controller may determine the intelligence. The appliance has access to the local area network and has not established a communication connection for controlling the smart appliance. At this time, the operation controller can perform the configuration of the subsequent steps for the smart appliance to establish a communication connection between the operation controller and the smart appliance for controlling the smart appliance.

It can be understood that when the smart appliance is connected to the local area network of the smart home, the operation controller can realize the identification of the smart appliance by registering the smart appliance. Wherein, the electrical identification of the smart appliance can be carried in the registration request of the smart appliance and sent to the operation controller for operating the controller to identify the smart appliance. Specifically, in a case where the smart appliance is connected to the local area network of the smart home and is not registered to the operation controller, the smart appliance may send a registration request to the operation controller, where the registration request carries the electrical appliance identifier of the smart appliance. When the operation controller receives the registration request, it can Ask the user if they accept the registration. When the operation controller responds to the user operation accepting the registration, the operation controller may register the smart appliance as the connected appliance according to the appliance identification. After the registration is completed, the operation controller records the registration information of the smart appliance as the connected appliance. At this time, the smart appliance is a smart appliance configurable by the operation controller.

For the registration request, the smart appliance can actively send a registration request to the operation controller. Specifically, the smart appliance may periodically send a registration request to the operation controller according to the information such as a Service Set Identifier (SSID), a signal strength, and the like, and carry its own appliance identifier in the registration request. Alternatively, the smart appliance may also send a registration request to the operation controller when receiving the identification request sent by the operation controller, and carry the appliance identifier in the registration request.

202. The operation controller acquires a control program of the smart appliance according to the electrical identifier.

When the operation controller receives the appliance identification, the operation controller determines whether it has the control program of the smart appliance. If not, the operation controller can acquire the control program of the smart appliance.

In the present embodiment, the operation controller has various embodiments for acquiring the control program, that is, 202 has various embodiments.

As an example, 202 may be implemented by: the operation controller acquiring, according to the electrical identification, the control program stored locally in the smart appliance. Specifically, the operation controller can scan the storage space local to the smart appliance. When the operation controller scans the installation package of the control program, the smart appliance can transmit the installation package to the operation controller, and the operation controller can install the control program through the installation package.

As another example, 202 may be specifically implemented by: the operation controller remotely downloading the control program via the Internet according to the electrical identification. Specifically, the operation controller may access a server on the Internet for providing a control program download service, and request an installation package of the control program of the smart appliance from the server according to the appliance identifier. The server may send the installation package to the operation controller in response to a request from an operation controller. The operation controller may install the control program through the installation package. The server for providing the control program download service may be a product software download platform provided by a vendor of the smart appliance, or may be an application download platform provided by a third party.

As still another example, the operation controller may first acquire the control program from the smart appliance locally, and if not, download the control program through the Internet. Specifically, the method 202 includes: the operation controller locally searching for the control program in the smart device according to the electrical identification; when searching When the control program is reached, the operation controller locally acquires the control program from the smart appliance; when the control program is not found, the operation controller downloads the control program.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure the safety of the intelligent electrical control, the operation controller is only used to control the smart appliances of the same smart home, that is, the smart appliances controlled by the operation controller and the operation controller themselves belong to the same smart home. In some cases, the operation controller obtains the electrical identification of the smart appliance, but the operation controller and the smart appliance do not belong to the same smart home. In response to this situation, in order to prevent the operation controller from controlling the smart appliance in the case where the smart appliance and the operation controller do not belong to the same smart home, the present embodiment provides various embodiments.

As an example, the operational controller can authenticate the smart appliance. Specifically, the embodiment may further include: the operation controller acquiring the authentication information of the user and the authentication information of the smart appliance; the operation controller determining the authentication information of the user and the authentication of the electrical appliance Whether the information is the same; when the authentication information of the user is the same as the authentication information of the smart appliance, the operation controller performs 202. Specifically, the smart appliance locally stores the authentication information of the smart appliance, and the appliance supplier provides the user's authentication information for the user who purchases the smart appliance. The operation controller may obtain the user's authentication information according to the user information input by the user, and may receive the authentication information of the smart appliance from the smart appliance. Then, the operation controller compares the authentication information of the smart appliance with the authentication information of the registered user, and if the two are the same, the execution 202 can be performed.

As another example, a smart appliance can authenticate an operational controller. Specifically, the embodiment may further include: before the 202, the operation controller acquires authentication information of the user; the operation controller sends the authentication information of the user to the smart appliance; and when the authentication information of the user is When the authentication information of the smart appliance is the same, the operation controller receives the authentication pass information sent by the smart appliance, and executes 202. Specifically, the smart appliance locally stores the authentication information of the smart appliance, and the appliance supplier provides the user's authentication information for the user who purchases the smart appliance. The operation controller may obtain the user's authentication information according to the user information input by the user, and send the user's authentication information to the smart appliance. When receiving the authentication information of the user, the smart device compares the authentication information of the user with the authentication information of the local smart device, and if the two are the same, sends the authentication pass information to the operation controller. The operation controller may execute 202 when receiving the authentication pass information.

As yet another example, two-way mutual authentication can be performed between the smart appliance and the operational controller. Specifically, the embodiment may further include: before the 202, the operation controller acquires authentication information of the smart appliance; and the operation controller determines whether the electrical appliance identifier and the authentication information are matched When the operation controller determines that the electrical appliance identifier matches the authentication information, the operation controller sends the authentication information to the smart appliance; when the smart appliance determines the authentication information and the location When the electrical appliance identifiers match, the operation controller receives the authentication pass information sent by the smart appliance, and executes 202.

In the above embodiment regarding authentication, the user's authentication information may be user information directly provided to the user by the appliance supplier when the user purchases the smart appliance. At this point, the user can directly input to the operation controller, so that the operation controller can obtain the user's authentication information. Alternatively, the user's authentication information may not be the user information that the appliance provider directly provides to the user when the user purchases the smart appliance, but the user may download it from the server of the appliance supplier on the Internet according to the user information. At this time, the user can input the user information to the operation controller, and the operation controller downloads the authentication information of the user from the server of the electric appliance supplier on the Internet according to the user information, so that the operation controller can obtain the authentication information of the user. The authentication information may be an electrical identification, or may be an authorization certificate (Credentials) provided by the supplier for the smart appliance.

In addition, in the above various embodiments regarding authentication, when the appliance identifier does not match the authentication information, the operation controller may re-acquire the authentication information, or the operation controller may also identify the appliance and the registration information of the smart appliance. After the save, use, delete, add blacklist and other processing actions.

203. The operation controller controls the smart device by using a control program of the smart device.

Specifically, the operation controller establishes a communication connection between the control program and the smart appliance for controlling the smart appliance. When the user terminal device accesses the operation controller or the operation controller is deployed in the user terminal device, the user terminal device can control the smart device by interacting with the control program on the operation controller.

As an example, the operational controller is deployed in the user terminal device. The communication connection between the control program of the smart appliance and the smart appliance is a communication connection between the user terminal device and the smart appliance, and the control program in the user terminal device can be connected to the smart appliance through the communication control information. Transmission, so that the user terminal device can realize the control of the smart appliance.

As another example, the operation controller may be deployed in other devices than the user terminal device, such as a home gateway or the like. The operation controller can provide an access interface to the user terminal device. The user terminal device can access and access the control program of the smart appliance on the operation controller through the access interface.
