具体实施方式
以下说明中，为了解释而不是限制，陈述了所公开的实施例的某些特定细节，诸如体系结构、接口和技术等等，以便清楚和彻底地理解本公开。然而所述技术领域的熟练人员应当容易明白，在不严重偏离本公开的精神和范围的情况下，本公开可以按不是精确地符合本文中所述的细节的其它实施例来实施。此外，在这个上下文中，为了简单明了，省略了对熟悉的设备、电路和方法的详细描述，以避免多余的细节和可能的混淆。
图1示出了按照本公开的实施例的控制可控设备的状态的方法100。
在一些实施例中，可控设备是能被控制去改变其状态的设备。举 例而言，可控设备可以包括摄像头、指纹锁、或者智能家居中涉及的智能电器，比如智能空调、智能冰箱等。可控设备可以被本地控制，亦可经由网络进行远程控制。按照本公开的实施例，可控设备被配置为具有与之关联的至少一个关联客户端和参考设备。
在步骤101中，与可控设备关联的至少一个客户端的第一客户端列表和当前与参考设备连接的客户端的第二客户端列表被获取。
在本公开的实施例中，客户端可以是软件形式，诸如软件构件、程序、应用、计算机程序、应用程序、系统程序、机器程序等。客户端也可以是硬件形式。举例而言，客户端可以是便携式移动设备，比如移动电话、个人数字助理、便携式游戏机、可穿戴设备等。对应不同形式的客户端，记录或者标识客户端的方式可能有所不同。软件形式的客户端可以例如通过该客户端的用户的用户名来记录。硬件形式的客户端可以通过与客户端的硬件相关的设备标识，比如网络设备的MAC(Medium Access Control)地址或移动设备的国际移动设备标识符(IMEI)来记录，或者也可以通过客户端被分配的用户标识，比如移动设备的国际移动用户标识(IMSI)或者移动电话的号码来记录。
在一些实施例中，客户端可以向服务器注册为与可控设备关联的客户端，且由服务器根据注册的客户端来生成第一客户端列表，以指明可控设备的关联客户端。附加地或者替换地，也可以由用户创建第一客户端列表且在其中手动设置与可控设备关联的客户端。
举例而言，可控设备可以为一摄像头，其具有多个关联的客户端，比如移动电话S1、S2、S3。按照本公开的实施例，一方面，移动电话S1、S2可以通过向服务器注册而成为该摄像头的关联客户端。另一方面，移动电话S3可以不向服务器进行注册，而是通过摄像头的用户(即操作者)的设置来成为该摄像头的关联客户端。
在一些实施例中，第一客户端列表可以由服务器维护。在这些实施例中，可控设备能够访问服务器，以从服务器获取记录其关联客户端的第一客户端列表。服务器可以是与可控设备同处家庭局域网中的本地服务器，也可以为广域网络，比如互联网中的远程服务器。可控设备可以通过网络接入设备连接至服务器。网络接入设备比如是无线接入点、路由器、集线器、网关、桥接器或者其组合。网络接入设备可选地是局域网网关。
在本公开的实施例中，参考设备可以是与可控设备在物理上或者逻辑上关联的设备。在一些实施例中，参考设备可以是物理上邻近可控设备的设备。举例而言，当可控设备处于某个局域网中时，参考设备可以被设定为可控设备借以接入局域网的网关。在另一些实施例中，参考设备可以是逻辑上，比如在网络拓扑中，邻近可控设备的设备。举例而言，当可控设备通过网络连接至某服务器(在网络拓扑中与服务器相邻)且例如可接受经由该服务器的控制时，参考设备可以被设定为服务器。在又一些实施例中，参考设备还可以被设定为可控设备本身。
客户端列表中的客户端可以通过客户端的标识信息来标识，只要该标识信息能够唯一标识该客户端即可。在本公开的实施例中，客户端的标识信息包括但不限于客户端用户名、设备名、MAC地址等。
可选地，可控设备的关联客户端可以对该可控设备进行控制。在一种实现中，关联客户端可借助网络服务器远程地控制该可控设备。可以理解，关联客户端和可控设备之间也可以没有控制关系。
在步骤102中，所获取的第一客户端列表和第二客户端列表被进行比较以确定所述关联客户端是否与所述参考设备连接。第一和第二客户端列表可以包括一个或多个客户端。或者，在当前没有客户端与参考设备连接的情况下，第二客户端列表可以为空。
在本公开的实施例中，由于第一客户端列表与可控设备具有的关联客户端对应，而第二客户端列表与连接到参考设备的客户端对应，所以通过比较该第一客户端列表与该第二客户端列表，可以获知关联客户端与参考设备的连接的信息。举例而言，如果比较的结果指示第一客户端列表中的一个或多个客户端与第二客户端列表中的客户端匹配，则这代表该一个或多个关联客户端目前正与参考设备连接。如果第一客户端列表中的全部客户端与第二客户端列表中的客户端匹配，则这代表全部关联客户端目前正与参考设备连接。如果第一客户端列表中的没有任何客户端与第二客户端列表中的客户端匹配，则这代表当前没有关联客户端与参考设备连接。比较的结果还可以指示，除关联客户端之外还有其他客户端与参考设备连接等等。可以理解，在一些场景中，可以有一个或多个可控设备的关联或者非关联客户端同时与参考设备连接。
在步骤103中，根据比较的结果来控制所述可控设备的状态。
按照本公开的实施例，可以采用多种方式来根据例如指示可控设备具有的关联客户端与参考设备的连接信息的比较结果，去控制该可控设备的状态。控制的方式取决于用户的需求。用户可以根据自己的需求来设计相应的控制策略，正如下文详述的。
在一个示例场景中，可控设备为摄像头，其关联客户端为移动电话，且参考设备为该摄像头所在的局域网的网关。
当摄像头例如由一个职业为网络主播的用户A使用时，用户A可能希望仅当其在摄像头附近时，摄像头才开始通过网络直播。相应地，控制策略可以被设计为：当该用户A的移动电话与该摄像头连接到同一局域网时，即该主播的移动电话与该局域网的网关连接时，控制摄像头的状态，使该摄像头进入摄像模式以便进行网络直播。附加地或者替换地，控制策略也可以被设计为：当该用户A的移动电话与该摄像头连接到同一局域网时，控制摄像头的网络连接部件的状态，使得摄像头能经由网络连接部件连接至互联网，以便将摄制的视频传送到网络上进行在线直播。而当该用户A的移动电话未连接该局域网时，网络连接部件断开与互联网的连接，使得该摄像头处于离线状态，而停止网络直播。
当摄像头例如由普通用户B使用时，用户B可能希望只要其在摄像头附近，摄像头便停止摄像，以避免其隐私生活被记录。相应地，其控制策略可能被完全相反地设计为：当该普通用户B的移动电话与该摄像头连接到同一局域网时，即该普通用户B的移动电话与该局域网的网关(参考设备)连接时，控制摄像头的状态，使该摄像头退出之前的摄像模式而切换到休眠模式。
在一些实施例中，可控设备包括可控部件，以及控制可控设备的状态包括控制可控部件的状态。可控设备的可控部件可以包括机械结构和电子构件等。可控设备的可控部件的状态可包括如下状态中的至少一个：机械结构状态和电子构件的工作模式等。举例而言，机械结构可包括转动机构，且机械结构的状态包括可转动状态和不可转动状态或者转到到某个角度的状态等。电子构件可包括模式切换器，且电子构件的工作模式可包括活动模式(即正常工作模式)和休眠模式等。
在一些实施例中，可控设备的机械结构状态例如为执行机构的正 常工作状态或者执行机构的非正常工作状态。以摄像头为例，控制该摄像头的机械结构(例如其可转动机构)的状态例如可以是(通过调整该可转动机构)使摄像头处于朝向预设的监控区域的正常工作状态，或者使摄像头处于偏离预设的监控区域的区域的非正常工作状态。附加地或者替换地，机械结构也可以是摄像头镜头前的保护机构。相应地，控制摄像头的机械结构的状态例如可以(通过改变保护机构的位置)使摄像头的保护机构处于不遮挡镜头的正常工作状态或者处于遮挡镜头的非正常工作状态。
在一些实施例中，可控设备的电路工作模式同样可以是正常工作模式或者非正常工作模式。以摄像头为例，控制该摄像头的电子构件(例如模式切换器)的工作模式例如可以使摄像头处于活动模式或者处于休眠模式。
如上文所指出的，在根据比较的结果来控制可控设备的状态时，依据场景的不同，可能会在比较结果相同的情况下，采用不同的控制策略来控制可控设备的状态。下面结合多个不同的示例场景，对如何控制可控设备的状态做进一步说明。
在示例场景一中，可控设备为家中的摄像头。可控设备的关联客户端可以为该摄像头的用户常随身携带的移动电话。摄像头和移动电话均可通过网关连接到同一局域网。该网关为该可控设备的参考设备。
初始地，摄像头可处于正常工作状态，例如摄像状态。当检测到有移动电话连接到该网关时，该移动电话的标识信息被获取，并被与该摄像头的关联客户端的标识信息进行比较。当比较的结果指示该移动电话的标识信息与该摄像头的关联客户端的标识信息相匹配时，可获知有关联客户端与参考设备连接，即表明用户已经到家。此时，如果预设的控制策略为隐私保护策略，则可以相应地调整摄像头的电子构件的工作模式，例如将该摄像头由正常工作模式转变为非正常工作模式(比如休眠模式或者待机模式)以停止摄像。替换地，可以相应地调整摄像头的机械结构状态，例如使镜头从指向有效的监控区域转变为指向非有效区域，或者使摄像头的保护机构从对镜头无遮挡的位置转变为遮挡镜头的位置，以避免监控用户隐私。
而当关联的移动电话断开与网关的连接时，通过获取当前与该网关连接的移动电话的标识信息，并比较获取的标识信息与该摄像头的 关联客户端的标识信息，可获知未有关联客户端与参考设备连接，即表明用户可能外出。此时，可控制该摄像头转变其工作模式，例如使其返回正常工作模式以开始摄像。替换地，可控制该摄像头转变其机械结构状态，例如使镜头改为指向有效的监控区域，或者使摄像头的保护结构回到对镜头无遮挡的位置，以便开始监控。
可以理解，控制策略的设计取决于用户的需求。举例而言，根据用户的需要，控制策略可以被设计为：当检测到连接到网关的移动电话不但包括摄像头的关联的移动电话，还包括其他作为访客连接的非关联的移动电话时，使该摄像头保持活动模式，即继续摄像。
在示例场景二中，可控设备为门禁系统中的指纹锁。类似地，该可控设备的关联客户端可以为门禁系统的用户经常携带的移动电话。指纹锁和移动电话均可通过网关连接到同一局域网。该网关为该可控设备的参考设备。
初始地，指纹锁可处于禁用状态，即禁止开锁的状态。当检测到有移动电话连接到该网关时，该移动电话的标识信息被获取，并被与该指纹锁的关联客户端的标识信息进行比较。当比较的结果指示该移动电话的标识信息与该指纹锁的关联客户端的标识信息相匹配时，可获知有关联客户端与参考设备连接，即表明用户已经到家。此时，可以相应地控制指纹锁的电子构件的工作模式，例如使该指纹锁的指纹扫描部件从禁用模式转变为启用模式以开启指纹扫描功能，进而允许用户用指纹解锁。
而当移动电话断开与该网关的连接时，通过获取当前与该网关连接的移动电话的标识信息，并比较获取的标识信息与该摄像头的关联客户端的标识信息，可获知未有关联客户端未与参考设备连接，即表明用户可能外出。此时，可控制该指纹锁转变其状态，例如使指纹扫描部件返回禁用模式以关闭指纹扫描功能。这使得能进一步提高指纹锁的安全性，同时还减少了指纹锁的工作时间，延长了寿命。
上述示例场景一和场景二示出了在家庭局域网的环境中应用本公开的技术的实施例，但是可以理解，本公开的技术同样适用于广域网络的环境，例如互联网的环境。
在示例场景三中，可控设备为可以接受经由网络的远程控制的智能家居系统中的智能设备，例如智能冰箱、智能洗衣机、智能开关等。 可控设备的关联客户端可以是智能家居系统的用户的个人计算设备，例如台式计算机、平板计算机、移动电话、个人数字助理等。智能设备和个人计算设备均可经由网络(例如互联网)连接到一个服务提供商提供的服务器，且个人计算设备可以借助服务器对智能设备进行远程控制。该服务器为该可控设备的参考设备。
初始地，智能设备可处于非联网可控状态。当检测到有个人计算设备连接至该服务器时，该个人计算设备的标识信息被获取，并被与该智能设备的关联客户端的标识信息进行比较。当比较的结果指示该个人计算设备的标识信息与该智能设备的关联客户端的标识信息相匹配时，可获知有关联客户端与参考设备连接。此时，可以相应地控制智能设备的状态，例如将该智能设备的可控部件(比如参数配置部件)由非联网可控模式转变为联网可控模式，以便允许用户进行远程控制。
而当个人计算设备断开与服务器的连接时，通过获取当前与该服务器连接的个人计算设备的标识信息，并比较获取的标识信息与该智能设备的关联客户端的标识信息，可获知未有关联客户端与参考设备连接。此时，用户可能已经完成对该智能设备的远程控制或者用户没有远程控制该智能设备的需求。由此，可相应地控制该智能设备的状态，例如使其可控部件转回到非联网可控模式。这使得能更好地保护智能设备免受恶意入侵，提高了智能家居系统的安全性。
应该理解的是，上述的场景仅仅是为了说明本公开实施例的方法的可能应用，本公开的实施例还适用于其它的各种各样的场景。
按照本公开的实施例，通过根据可控设备的关联客户端与参考设备的连接状态来控制可控设备的状态，能够实现对该可控设备的自动化控制，避免人工控制，提升了用户体验。
在本公开的实施例的不同实现中，不同的设备可以为可控设备的参考设备。而且，按照本公开实施例的方法可以由不同的执行主体执行。举例而言，参考设备可以是可控设备借以接入通信网络的网络接入设备，例如与之处于同一局域网中的网关，也可以是可控设备通过广域网连接且能通过其被远程控制的服务器，或者甚至可以是可控设备本身。在一些实现中，按照本公开实施例的方法可以由可控设备执行，也可以由参考设备执行。
在图2、图3、图4和图5中提供了按照本公开实施例的方法的示 例实现。
图2示出了按照本公开实施例的方法的一个示例实现。在这一实现中，假定可控设备C(比如家庭摄像头)经由网关连接到服务器，可控设备C具有关联客户端，即移动设备A，且网关为参考设备。在这一实现中，控制可控设备的状态的方法由可控设备C来执行。
参见图2，该控制可控设备的状态的方法200可包括如下步骤。
步骤201：可控设备C通过网关向服务器注册。服务器可以保存该可控设备C的标识信息。该可控设备C的标识信息可包括设备名、MAC地址等。
步骤202：在服务器中生成与可控设备C关联的客户端的客户端列表1。
在一个实施例中，移动设备A(比如移动电话)向服务器注册为可控设备C的关联客户端。服务器可以保存该移动设备A的标识信息，并据此生成包含可控设备C的关联客户端的标识信息的客户端列表1。可选地，在客户端列表1已经存在的情况下，服务器可以将移动设备A的标识信息添加到客户端列表1中。该移动设备A的标识信息可包括设备名、MAC地址等。
在另一实施例中，可以由可控设备C的用户在服务器中创建客户端列表1。用户可以在该客户端列表1中设置该可控设备的关联客户端，包括添加或者删除该可控设备的关联客户端。
图2中仅示出可控设备C的一个关联客户端，例如移动设备A，但是可以理解，可控设备C可以有多个关联客户端。
步骤203：当移动设备A到达可控设备C所在的局域网时，移动设备A连接到网关。网关保存与其连接的客户端(包括移动设备A)的标识信息，并据此生成客户端列表2。此时，客户端列表2包含移动设备A的标识信息。
步骤204：可控设备C通过网关向服务器发送请求消息1，请求该服务器返回客户端列表1。
步骤205：可控设备C接收服务器通过网关返回的响应消息1，该响应消息1中可携带该客户端列表1。客户端列表1可包含可控设备C的关联客户端(例如移动设备A)的标识信息。
步骤206：可控设备C向网关发送请求消息2，请求该网关返回客 户端列表2。
步骤207：可控设备C接收网关返回的响应消息2，该响应消息2中可携带客户端列表2。客户端列表2可包含与网关连接的移动设备(例如移动设备A)的标识信息。
步骤208：可控设备C比较客户端列表1与客户端列表2以确定关联客户端是否与参考设备连接。例如可控设备C可以将客户端列表1和客户端列表2中的标识信息进行匹配。
步骤209：可控设备C基于比较的结果来控制自己的状态，例如控制其可控部件的状态。在一个实施例中，可控设备C根据比较的结果判断可控设备C的关联客户端是否与网关连接。在图2所示示例中，因为移动设备A是可控设备C的关联客户端，所以判定结果为“是”。此时，取决于所设计的控制策略，可控设备C可由此而被触发去改变自身的状态。
可以理解，如果在步骤203中是其他的未注册移动设备A’到达可控设备C所在的局域网，则由于移动设备A’不是可控设备C的关联客户端，此时的判定结果为“否”。可控设备C可据此保持先前的状态。
在一些实施例中，可控设备C可以以一定的时间间隔来重复执行上述步骤204到步骤209。可选地，可控设备C也可以得知在与网关连接的客户端发生变化时重复执行上述步骤204到步骤209。在一些实施例中，网关可以在与其连接的客户端发生变化时向可控设备C通知这一变化。这使得可控设备的控制能够更快速地响应于其关联客户端的变化。
图3示出了按照本公开实施例的方法的另一示例实现。在这一实现中，类似于图2，假定可控设备C经由网关连接到服务器，且网关为参考设备。与图2不同的是，图3中示出了可控设备C具有两个关联客户端，即移动设备A和B，且控制可控设备的状态的方法由参考设备，例如网关来执行。
参见图3，该控制可控设备的状态的方法300可包括如下步骤。
步骤301：可控设备C与网关连接，通过该网关向服务器进行注册。服务器保存该可控设备C的标识信息。该可控设备C的标识信息可包括设备名、MAC地址等。
步骤302：移动设备A和B与服务器连接，向服务器注册为可控设备C的关联客户端。服务器保存该移动设备A、B的标识信息，并据此生成包含可控设备C的关联客户端的标识信息的客户端列表1。该移动设备A或B的标识信息可包括设备名、MAC地址等。可以理解，移动设备A和B可以同时地或者在不同的时刻执行该注册。
步骤303：当移动设备A、B到达可控设备C所在的局域网时，移动设备A、B连接到网关。网关保存移动设备A、B的标识信息，并据此生成包含移动设备A、B的标识信息的客户端列表2。可以理解，移动设备A和B可以同时地或者在不同的时刻与网关连接。
步骤304：网关向可控设备C发送请求消息3，请求该可控设备C返回该可控设备C具有的关联客户端的客户端列表1。
步骤305：由于该可控设备C具有的关联客户端的客户端列表1由服务器维护，所以可控设备C通过该网关向服务器发送请求消息4，请求该服务器返回该客户端列表1。
步骤306：服务器通过网关返回响应消息4至可控设备C，该响应消息4中可携带该客户端列表1。
步骤307：网关接收可控设备C返回的响应消息3，该响应消息3中可携带该客户端列表1。
在一些实施例中，可控设备C可以自己生成和维护客户端列表1，且其可以在接收到网关的请求后直接将客户端列表1返回给网关。由此，步骤305和306可以被省略。
步骤308：网关比较客户端列表1与客户端列表2以确定关联客户端是否与参考设备连接。
网关基于比较的结果来控制可控设备C的可控部件的状态。在一个实施例中，在步骤309中，网关根据比较的结果判定可控设备C的关联客户端是否与其连接。在本示例中，由于判定结果为“是”，所以在步骤310中网关发送控制请求消息至可控设备C，请求可控设备C据此控制其可控部件的状态，例如改变自身的状态，比如调整其机械结构状态或者电子构件的工作模式。
在其他情况下，如果在步骤303中是其他的未注册移动设备A’、B’到达可控设备C所在的局域网，则由于移动设备A’和B’都不是可控设备C的关联客户端，此时在步骤310的判定结果为“否”，指 示未有关联客户端与网关连接。网关可据此而不向可控设备C发送控制请求消息，且在步骤311中，在一定的时间间隔期满后返回步骤304，以重复执行此过程。可选地，网关也可以检测到与其连接的客户端发生变化时重复执行此过程。
图4示出了按照本公开实施例的方法的又一示例实现。在这一实现中，与图3类似，假定可控设备C经由网关连接到局域网。可控设备C具有关联客户端，即移动设备A，且网关为参考设备。在这一实现中，控制可控设备的状态的方法同样由网关来执行。与图3不同的是，图4示出了与可控设备关联的客户端的客户端列表1由用户在可控设备中手动创建，且由可控设备自己维护。尽管未示出，但是可以理解，在客户端列表1由服务器维护的情况下，该客户端列表1也可以由用户在服务器中手动创建。
参见图4，该控制可控设备的状态的方法可包括如下步骤。
步骤401：可控设备C接收用户的输入，用以在可控设备C中创建与该可控设备C关联的客户端的客户端列表1，且在客户端列表1中设置可控设备C的关联客户端。举例而言，用户在客户端列表1中添加移动设备A的标识信息，以将移动设备A设置为可控设备C的关联客户端。
步骤402：当移动设备A到达可控设备C所在的局域网时，移动设备A连接到网关。网关保存移动设备A的标识信息。
步骤403：网关向可控设备C发送请求消息5，请求该可控设备C返回该可控设备C具有的关联客户端的客户端列表1。
步骤404：网关接收可控设备C返回的响应消息5，该响应消息5中可携带该客户端列表1。该客户端列表1中包含移动设备A的标识信息。
步骤405：网关根据其当前连接的客户端生成客户端列表2。客户端列表2包含移动设备A的标识信息.
步骤406：网关比较该列表1与列表2，以判定可控设备C的关联客户端是否与其连接。在本示例中，由于列表1和列表2中均包含移动设备A的标识信息，所以可以判定该可控设备C的关联客户端当前与网关连接，则在步骤407中网关可以发送控制请求消息至可控设备C，请求可控设备C据此控制其可控部件的状态。
在其他情况下，如果在步骤402中是其他的未经用户设置的移动设备A’到达可控设备C所在的局域网，则由于移动设备A’不是可控设备C的关联客户端，此时在步骤406的判定结果会指示未有关联客户端与网关连接。网关可以据此不向可控设备C发送控制请求消息，且进到步骤408。
可以理解，取决于所采用的控制策略，网关也可以在判定该可控设备C的关联客户端当前与网关连接时不发送控制请求消息，而在判定未有关联客户端与网关连接时发送控制请求消息。
在步骤408：网关检测与其连接的客户端是否变化。如果检测结果为“是”，则返回步骤403来重复执行上述控制可控设备的过程。可选地，考虑到可控设备的关联客户端发生变化的频度较低，网关也可以返回到步骤405来重复执行上述过程。如果检测结果为“否”，则网关在一段时间之后重新进行有关连接客户端的检测。
替换地或者附加地，网关可以以一定的时间间隔来重复执行上述过程。
虽然在以上示例实现中，参考设备是以网关为例来进行说明，但是可以理解，按照本公开实施例的方法同样适用于其他的参考设备。
由于网关有有限的覆盖范围，所以客户端与网关的连接在很多情况下能够表明客户端与网关之间的相对位置。例如在家庭局域网中，当客户端与家庭局域网的网关连接时，可以推断客户端已经处于家庭局域网的覆盖范围，即在网关附近。
而这种对客户端位置的判断也可以通过其他方式来实现。图5示出了按照本公开实施例的方法的再一示例实现，其中可控设备C具备短距离对等连接功能性，例如WIFI Direct连接功能性。可以理解，当客户端同样具备WIFI Direct连接功能性，且与可控设备通过WIFI Direct连接时，同样可以表明客户端处于离可控设备比较近的区域中。与图3、图4中的方案不同的是，图5示出了可控设备C为参考设备。
在这一示例实现中，该控制可控设备的状态的方法由该可控设备C来执行。
参见图5，该控制可控设备的状态的方法可包括如下步骤。
步骤501：可控设备C向服务器进行注册。服务器可以保存该可控设备C的标识信息。该可控设备C的标识信息可包括设备名、MAC地 址等。
步骤502：在服务器中生成与可控设备C关联的客户端的客户端列表1。在本例中，移动设备A向服务器注册为可控设备C的关联客户端。该客户端列表1包括移动设备A的标识信息。
替换地，当在可控设备C中生成并维护与可控设备C关联的客户端的客户端列表1，步骤501和502可以被省略。
步骤503：当移动设备A到达可控设备C附近时，移动设备A与可控设备C建立WIFI Direct连接。可控设备C保存移动设备A的标识信息，并据此生成客户端列表2。客户端列表2中包含移动设备A的标识信息。在一些实施例中，可控设备C根据当前与其建立WIFI Direct连接的客户端形成客户端列表2。
步骤504：可控设备C向服务器发送请求消息7，请求该服务器返回该可控设备C具有的关联客户端的列表1。
步骤505：可控设备C接收服务器返回的响应消息7，该响应消息7中可携带该列表1。
在一些实施例中，客户端列表1可以在服务器接收到请求消息后生成，且客户端列表2可以在发送请求消息的同时或者之后生成。
在一些实施例中，当客户端列表1由可控设备C生成和维护时，步骤504和505可以省略。
步骤506：可控设备C比较列表1与列表2以确定关联客户端是否与参考设备连接。
步骤507：可控设备C根据比较的结果来控制其自身的状态。举例而言，当比较的结果指示该可控设备C的关联客户端与可控设备C连接，则可控设备C可以据此来控制其状态，例如改变自身的工作模式。
按照本公开的实施例的控制可控设备的状态的方法，通过根据可控设备具有的关联客户端与参考设备的连接状态来控制该可控设备的状态，能够实现对该可控设备的自动化控制，避免了人工控制，提升了用户体验。
图6示出了按照本公开的实施例的一种控制可控设备的状态的装置600。该可控设备具有与之关联的至少一个关联客户端和参考设备。该装置600包括：获取器610、比较器620和控制器630。
获取器610用于获取所述关联客户端的第一客户端列表和与所述 参考设备连接的客户端的第二客户端列表。
比较器620用于比较所述第一客户端列表与所述第二客户端列表以确定关联客户端是否与参考设备连接。
控制器630用于根据所述比较的结果控制所述可控设备的状态。
在本公开的实施例中，控制器630可以根据比较的结果来控制所述可控设备的可控部件的状态，例如机械结构的状态和/或电子构件的工作模式。
按照本公开的实施例，装置600还可以包括：发送器640和接收器650。
在一些实施例中，第一客户端列表由服务器维护。获取器610被配置为指令发送器640向服务器发送第一请求消息，请求所述服务器返回所述第一客户端列表；以及从接收器650接收的所述服务器返回的携带所述第一客户端列表的第一响应消息中获取第一客户端列表。
在一些实施例中，第二客户端列表由参考设备维护。获取器610被配置为指令发送器640向参考设备发送第二请求消息，请求所述参考设备返回所述第二客户端列表；以及从接收器650接收的所述参考设备返回的携带所述第二客户端列表的第二响应消息中获取第二客户端列表。
在一些实施例中，获取器610还可以包括列表创建器612和/或列表生成器614。列表创建器612被配置为根据向服务器注册为与所述可控设备相关联的客户端创建所述第一客户端列表，和/或基于用户输入来创建第一客户端列表并在其中设置所述可控设备的关联客户端。列表生成器614被配置为根据当前连接到参考设备的客户端生成所述第二客户端列表。
在一些实施例中，第一客户端列表与第二客户端列表包含客户端标识信息。比较器620被配置为对第一和第二客户端列表中的客户端标识信息进行匹配且输出对应的连接信息。举例而言，如果存在匹配的一对或多对客户端标识信息，则比较器620判定可控设备的关联客户端已连接到参考设备，且输出对应的已连接指示。而如果没有任何匹配，则比较器620判定当前无关联客户端与参考设备连接，且输出对应的未连接指示。可选地，比较器620输出的连接信息也可以包含有关与其连接的其他客户端的指示，比如一条输出的连接信息可以是： 关联客户端A和非关联客户端B已连接，等等。
