Description

A method, equipment and system for linkage control of multiple smart devices. This application is required to be submitted to the State Intellectual Property Office of China on February 26, 2019. The application number is 201910142363. 1. The title of the invention is "a method for linkage control of multiple smart devices" , Equipment and system”, the entire content of which is incorporated in this application by reference. Technical field

This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, device, and system for linkage control of multiple smart devices. Background technique

Smart home (sma rt home, or home au t oma ti on) uses the Internet of Things technology to integrate various electronic devices in the home (such as audio and video equipment, lighting systems, curtain control, air conditioning control, security systems, digital cinema systems, audio and video servers) , Video cabinet system, network home appliances, etc.) are connected together to provide home appliance control, lighting control, telephone remote control, indoor and outdoor remote control, anti-theft alarm, environmental monitoring, HVAC control, infrared forwarding and programmable timing control and other functions.

In the smart home system, each electronic device is based on I FTTT (abbreviation for i f th i s then t hat) rules for linkage and control between devices. Among them, th i s can be regarded as a triggering condition, and tha t can be regarded as an execution operation or execution event of the device. For example: if the smart door lock recognizes that the person at the door has passed the biometric authentication (trigger condition), the door opens automatically (execution event). Another example: If the door is opened and the indoor temperature is higher than 28 degrees Celsius (trigger condition), the air conditioner will automatically start (execution event).

At present, in the process of equipment and equipment linkage, basically the control equipment collects trigger conditions, and then sends execution commands to the equipment that needs linkage based on the trigger conditions. For example: a control device needs to obtain all trigger conditions in an IFTTT rule from some devices (can be called conditional devices), and then send operation instructions to other devices (can become execution devices) to instruct these execution devices to execute the corresponding Operation.

Obviously, in the existing linkage technology, the linkage between the condition device and the execution device relies too much on the control device. Generally, there are multiple IFTTT rules in the network. If the linkage in each IFTTT rule must be transferred and controlled by the same control device, the linkage delay will be large, the efficiency will be low, and the user experience will be poor. In addition, if the control device disconnects, the linkage of all I FTTT rules in the network will fail. It can be seen that the efficiency and stability of linkage between conditional equipment and execution equipment need to be improved.

Summary of the invention

The method, device, and system for linkage control of multiple smart devices provided in the present application can get rid of the dependence on the control device in the linkage control of multiple electronic devices, which is beneficial to reduce the delay of linkage and improve linkage efficiency.

The first electronic device acquires a first rule, where the first rule indicates that when a first event occurs in the second electronic device, the first electronic device executes the first function; the first electronic device sends a message to the second electronic device according to the first rule A subscription message for an event; the first electronic device receives the notification message of the first event sent by the second electronic device; in response to the received notification message of the first event, the first electronic device performs the first function according to the first rule.

Wherein, the first electronic device is an execution device, and the first function is an execution event in the first rule. The second electronic device is a conditional device, and the first event is a trigger event or trigger condition corresponding to the second electronic device in the first rule.

detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Wherein, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "/" means or, for example, A/B can mean A or B; "and/or" in this document is only a description of related objects The association relationship of indicates that there can be three kinds of relationships. For example, A and/or B can indicate: A alone exists, A and B exist at the same time, and B alone exists.

Hereinafter, the terms “first” and “second” are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as “first” and “second” may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of these features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more than two.

IFTTT rule: short for if this then that, its purpose is Put the internet to work for you. It can be simply understood that if a certain event is triggered, another set event is executed. That is, if full When the trigger condition in the IFTTT rule is satisfied, the corresponding operation in the IFTTT rule is executed.

The above trigger conditions can also be referred to as trigger events. If device A performs a certain operation or certain operations in the IFTTT rule, or a parameter detected by device A meets certain conditions or certain conditions, then device B performs the corresponding operation, then A device can be called a conditional device, and a B device can be called an execution device. Among them, in the IFTTT rule, the number of conditional devices may be one or more, and the number of execution devices may be one or more, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

For example: An IFTTT rule is: If device A performs a certain operation (or the parameters detected by device A meets certain conditions), and device C performs a certain operation (or device C The detected parameter satisfies one or some conditions), then the B device executes the corresponding operation. In this IFTTT rule, device A and device C are both conditional devices, and device B is the execution device.

Another example: Another IFTTT rule is: If device A performs a certain operation (or the parameters detected by device A meets certain conditions), device B performs the corresponding operation, and device JLD performs the corresponding operation operating. In this IFTTT rule, A device conditional device, B device and D device are execution devices.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, there may be no conditional device in the IFTTT rule, and the executing device may automatically perform corresponding operations according to, for example, the local time.

In the prior art, multiple electronic device linkage processes based on IFTTT rules are all based on a centralized control scheme. For example: When a trigger event of a conditional device occurs, the trigger event will be transmitted to the control device via the Internet. After the control device makes a logical judgment, the execution command is sent to the execution device via the Internet, and then the execution device executes the corresponding operation. Since multiple electronic devices need to communicate via the Internet, the linkage process will inevitably be affected by the connection status of the Internet, resulting in a prolonged and unstable situation. In addition, multiple electronic devices can be the user's household equipment. The status of the household equipment and the implementation of the IFTTT rules are uploaded to the Internet. Once the information is leaked, there is a great security risk.

To this end, a control method provided by an embodiment of the present application can be used for linkage control between at least two electronic devices. In the linkage process between these at least two electronic devices, each electronic device can directly communicate through a local connection to complete the linkage. That is to say, during the linkage process of at least two electronic devices, the centralized control method in the prior art is no longer used, that is, it is no longer necessary to transfer through the control device.

In this way, on the one hand, the influence of the connection state of the Internet on the linkage between multiple electronic devices can be avoided, and the security risk caused by uploading information of multiple electronic devices to the Internet can also be avoided. On the other hand, it is also beneficial to eliminate the time delay caused by the transfer of the control device, and the linkage failure caused by the disconnection of the control device, which improves the efficiency and stability of the linkage between the electronic devices.

The desktop 301 displays a status bar, time and weather controls, application icons (for example, the icon 302 of the smart home APP), and a dock bar. Among them, the status bar can include the name of the operator (such as China Mobile), time, WiFi icon, signal strength, and current remaining power.

When the mobile phone detects that the user clicks on the smart home icon 302 on the desktop 301, the mobile phone enters the main interface 303 of the smart home APP as shown in FIG. 3B.

Among them, the smart home APP can be used to discover and connect electronic devices to the home network. It can also create practical life scenarios based on these electronic devices, and provide humanized information prompts and interactions.

Exemplarily, the mobile phone can set some manual life scenes through the smart home APP, that is, the user is required to manually turn on some life scenes, and based on preset rules, the electronic devices related to the life scenes perform corresponding operations. The life scenes that are manually opened include, for example, "going home", "leaving home", "reading", "sleeping" and so on. Among them, related settings can refer to the prior art, which will not be repeated here.

For example: if the user clicks "Go home" in the control 304 on the main interface 303 of the smart home APP, then based on the preset rules, the window curtains are turned on for ventilation, and the TV opens the channel or program set by themselves .

Exemplarily, the mobile phone can also set different life scenarios based on time through the smart home APP. That is, when a certain predetermined time is reached, based on a preset rule, the electronic device related to the predetermined time starts to automatically perform corresponding operations. Among them, the related settings can refer to the prior art, which will not be repeated here.

For example: When the time arrives at 6:30 in the morning, based on the preset rules, the bedroom lights are turned on, the smart speakers play music, and the soymilk is cooked by the soymilk.

Exemplarily, the mobile phone can also use the smart home APP to set different life scenarios based on the electronic device 12 (electronic device B) in the local network. That is, when the working state of one or some electronic devices 12 (electronic device B) meets the preset conditions, other electronic devices 12 (electronic device B) are automatically triggered to perform corresponding operations.

For example: If the smart door lock recognizes that the person at the door is legal, the smart door lock automatically unlocks. Another example: If the door is opened and the indoor temperature is higher than 28 degrees Celsius, the air conditioner will automatically start.

The following describes the process of setting different life scenarios on the mobile phone based on the electronic device 12 (electronic device B) in the local network.

Referring to FIG. 3B, on the main interface 303 of the smart home APP, it is detected that the user clicks on the "add" control 305, and the mobile phone pops up a menu for setting adding devices and adding scenes, as shown in the menu 307 in the interface 306 in FIG. 3C. Respond to users Select Add Scene in the menu 307, and the mobile phone displays an interface for setting the IFTTT rules, as shown in the interface 308 in FIG. 3D. The add control 309 on the left side of the interface 308 can be used to add conditional devices and set trigger conditions. The add control 310 on the right side can be used to add execution devices and set execution operations.

It should be noted that there can be many ways for the user to enter the interface for setting IFTTT rules, and the specific form and specific content of the interface for setting IFTTT rules can also be various, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

On the interface 308 shown in FIG. 3D, it is detected that the user clicks on the add control 309, and the mobile phone displays the interface 311 shown in FIG. 3E. The interface 311 is an interface for setting the condition device and trigger condition in the IFTTT rule. On this interface 311, the user can select a conditional device. After selecting the conditional device, the mobile phone will pop up a window or menu for setting the triggering condition of the conditional device.

For example: interface 311 shown in Figure 3E, after detecting that the user selects "smart door lock", a menu 312 pops up, and the user can further set the trigger condition of the conditional device. For example: The trigger condition is that the smart door lock is in the unlocked state.

For another example, in the interface 313 shown in FIG. 3F, after detecting that the user selects the "temperature sensor", a menu 314 pops up, and the user can further set the trigger condition of the conditional device. For example: The trigger condition is that the temperature value of the temperature sensor is greater than or equal to 28 degrees.

It should be noted that when the type of the condition device is different, the type of the trigger condition of the condition device is also different. For example: the trigger condition can be the working state of the condition device, such as on or off; the trigger condition can also be the detection value or the range of the detection value of the condition device; the trigger condition can also be the detection result of the condition device, for example: human sensor sensing When the human body passes through, or the smoke sensor detects a gas leakage event, etc. Therefore, when the condition device type is different, the corresponding interface for setting the trigger condition will also be different, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It should also be noted that the number of condition devices set by the user can be one or more, and the trigger condition corresponding to each condition device can also be one or more, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. After setting the condition device and trigger condition, the user can save the setting by clicking the "Save" button. The user can also directly modify and delete the added condition devices and trigger conditions, which will not be repeated here.

The following can set the execution device and execution operation in the IFTTT rule. As shown in FIG. 3G, it is detected that the user clicks the add control 310 on the interface 315, and the mobile phone displays the interface 316 as shown in FIG. 3H. The user can select the execution device and set the operation of the execution device through the interface 316. For example, select the operation performed by the “smart air conditioner” (also referred to as the execution event) for the execution device to turn on the smart air conditioner, and set the temperature value of the smart air conditioner to 24 degrees.

It should be noted that the number of execution devices may be one or more, and the execution operation corresponding to each execution device may also be one or more.

Furthermore, the execution device and the condition device may be the same device or different devices. For example: Rule 1 is "If the smart door lock recognizes that the person at the door is legal, the smart door lock will automatically unlock." In rule 1, the condition device and the execution device are both smart door locks. Another example: Rule 2 is "If the door is opened and the indoor temperature is higher than 28 degrees Celsius, the air conditioner will automatically start." In Rule 2, the condition device is the door and temperature sensor, and the execution device is the air conditioner.

After setting the execution device and execution event, the user can save the setting by clicking the “Save” button, and the interface 318 as shown in Figure 31 can be displayed. The user can also directly modify and delete the added execution devices and execution events, which will not be described one by one.

It should also be noted that the user can first set the condition device and trigger condition, and then set the execution device and execution event, or first set the execution device and execution event, and then set the condition device and trigger condition. You can also set some condition devices and trigger conditions, then set the execution devices and execution events, and then set other condition devices and trigger conditions. That is to say, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the sequence of settings.

It is understandable that the user can also use voice (for example: when the electronic device A is a smart speaker, the user The IFTTT rule can be set by voice dialogue with the smart speaker), or in other ways such as specific gestures. The embodiment of this application does not limit the specific method for the user to set the IFTTT rule.

After the electronic device 10 (electronic device A) has set the IFTTT rules (including adding, modifying and deleting IFTTT rules), the set IFTTT rules need to be sent to the electronic device 12 (electronic device B) in the local network, and then locally The electronic device 12 (electronic device B) in the network performs local linkage based on the IFTTT rule.

It is understandable that the electronic device 12 (electronic device B) in the local network has different roles in different IFTTT rules. In other words, a certain electronic device 12 (electronic device B) is a conditional device in some IFTTT rules, and it is an executing device in some other IFTTT rules.

For example: Rule 1 is “If the smart door lock recognizes that the person at the door is legal, then the smart door lock will automatically unlock”. In rule 1, the conditional device and the execution device are both smart door locks. Another example: Rule 2 is "If the smart door lock is unlocked and the indoor temperature is higher than 28 degrees Celsius, the air conditioner will automatically start." In Rule 2, the condition device is the smart door lock and temperature sensor, and the execution device is the air conditioner. It can be seen that the smart door lock is a conditional device and an execution device in rule 1, and a conditional device in rule 2.

It should be noted that, in the same IFTTT rule, the number of conditional devices and execution devices may be one or more, which is not limited in the embodiment of this application. For example: In the above rule 1, there is one condition device and one execution device. In the above rule 2, there are two condition devices and one execution device. Another example: Rule 3 is "If the door is opened and the indoor temperature is higher than 28 degrees Celsius, the window will be automatically closed and the air conditioner will automatically start." In Rule 3, the condition device is the door and temperature sensor, and the execution device is the window and air conditioner. . In rule 3, there are two condition devices and two execution devices.

For ease of description, for a certain IFTTT rule, the role of the electronic device 12 (electronic device B) in the local network in the IFTTT rule is divided into conditional devices and execution devices. For multiple local networks provided in the embodiments of this application, The method of linkage of electronic equipment is illustrated as an example. It should be noted that the division of conditional equipment and execution equipment here does not constitute a specific limitation on electronic equipment 12 (electronic equipment B).

It should be noted that, in the same IFTTT rule, the condition device and the execution device may be the same or different. In other words, there is a certain electronic device in an IFTTT rule, which is both a conditional device and an executing device. For example: In the above rule 1, the condition device and the execution device are both smart door locks. In this case, in the method of linkage of multiple electronic devices introduced in this article, when a certain electronic device has two roles (conditional device and execution device) in the same IFTTT rule, and the two roles When data transmission is required between them, it can be understood that the electronic device can directly call local data to obtain corresponding information, which will not be described separately.

Optionally, in a method for linkage of multiple electronic devices provided in this application, the executing device may obtain the IFTTT rule in advance, and discover other electronic devices in the IFTTT rule, that is, conditional devices. After a trigger event occurs on a certain or certain conditional device in the IFTTT rule, the executing device can be notified directly through the local network. After receiving the notification message, the executing device can also directly query the trigger events of other conditional devices through the local network. When it is determined that the trigger events of all conditional devices have occurred, the execution device can execute the corresponding event (that is, the execution event, which can also be understood as the execution device to perform the corresponding function), that is, the linkage is completed.

As shown in FIG. 4A, it is a schematic diagram of a method for linkage of multiple electronic devices in a local network according to an embodiment of this application. In the method, the execution device may obtain the IFTTT rule, and the conditional device may not obtain the IFTTT rule. The method specifically includes:

S401: The execution device obtains the IFTTT rule.

Among them, in the IFTTT rule, trigger events of multiple condition devices can be freely combined with various logical operations (for example, logical AND operation, or logical OR operation). When the trigger events of these multiple condition devices are all satisfied, the execution device will be triggered to perform a corresponding operation, that is, the execution event of the execution device will be triggered. For example: IFTTT rules can include regular Identification, condition (condition) information and execution (action) information. Among them, there may be multiple IFTTT rules in the local network, so the identifier of the rule can be used to distinguish each IFTTT rule in the local network. The condition information may include: device identification, device type (type), attribute value, operator, value, etc. It is understandable that the device identifier in the condition information is the identifier of the condition device, the device type is the type of the condition device, and the attribute value is the parameter of the condition device (for example, when the condition device is a temperature sensor, the attribute value can be temperature), operation The symbol is a logical operation (for example: greater than, less than, etc.), and the value is the value corresponding to the attribute value (for example: 26 degrees Celsius). The execution information can include: device identification, device type, and specific operations performed. For example: the IFTTT rule can be set as that if the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor is greater than 26 degrees Celsius, the air conditioner is turned on.

In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 10 (electronic device A) can actively push the IFTTT rules (including adding, modifying and deleting IFTTT rules) set by the user to the execution device in the local network or through The server 11 actively pushes to the execution device. In still other embodiments of the present application, the execution device in the local network may also request IFTTT rules from the electronic device 10 (electronic device A) or the server 11, and the electronic device 10 (electronic device A) or the server 11 sends the corresponding IFTTT rules It is sent to the execution device, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

5402 The enforcement device checks the legality of the obtained IFTTT rules.

Exemplarily, the first execution device may parse the acquired IFTTT rule, determine the integrity and correctness of the IFTTT rule, and check to ensure that the conditional device and the execution device can be linked according to the acquired IFTTT rule.

For example: the integrity check of the IFTTT rule may include: detecting whether the IFTTT rule contains conditional information and whether the conditional information is complete, for example: conditional device information, conditional device attribute value, conditional device operator, attribute value correspondence Whether the value of is complete, etc. Check whether the IFTTT rule contains execution information, and whether the execution information is complete.

For another example: checking the correctness of the IFTTT rule may also include: checking the validity of the IFTTT rule to determine whether the IFTTT rule has not been tampered with, etc.

S403. According to the IFTTT rule, the first execution device requests to discover the first conditional device and the second conditional device in the IFTTT rule.

Exemplarily, the first execution device obtains the identities of the related condition devices and the identities of other execution devices from the IFTTT rules, and performs multicast or broadcast in the local network, and requests to discover the condition devices and other devices in the IFTTT rules. Execution equipment. That is, the message that the first execution device multicasts or broadcasts in the local network may carry the identification of the condition device and the identification of the execution device in the IFTTT rule.

For example: Suppose the IFTTT rule is: If the first event of the first condition device and the second event of the second condition device occur at the same time, the first execution device executes the third event. Wherein, the first event is a trigger event of the first conditional device, and the second event is a trigger event of the second conditional device. The third event is an execution event of the first execution device. Then, the first execution device may multicast or broadcast the identification of the first conditional device and the identification of the second conditional device.

In some embodiments, the first execution device may multicast or broadcast the identification of the first conditional device and the identification of the second conditional device respectively, that is, one multicast or broadcast message only includes the identification of the first conditional device, and the other The multicast or broadcast message only contains the identifier of the second conditional device. In other embodiments, the first execution device may also multicast or broadcast the identification of the first conditional device and the identification of the second conditional device at the same time, that is, a multicast or broadcast message includes the identification of the first conditional device and The identification of the second condition device. The embodiments of this application do not limit this.

Another example: The IFTTT rule is: if the smart door lock is unlocked and the temperature of the indoor temperature sensor is greater than 28 degrees, the smart air conditioner is turned on and the temperature is set at 24 degrees. Among them, the first condition device is a smart door lock, and the first event is unlocking. The second condition device is a temperature sensor, and the second event is that the temperature value is greater than 28 degrees. The first execution device is a smart air conditioner, and the third event is Turn on the smart air conditioner and set the temperature at 24 degrees. Then, after the smart air conditioner obtains the IFTTT rule, it determines that the conditional devices in the IFTTT rule are the smart door lock and the temperature sensor. The smart air conditioner can broadcast the identification of the smart door lock and the identification of the temperature sensor in the home network.

S404. The first conditional device and the second conditional device respectively replies their respective addresses to the first execution device.

Step S404 specifically includes: the first conditional device replies its own address to the first execution device (step S404a), and the second conditional device replies its own address to the first execution device (step S404b)

Exemplarily, after receiving the multicast or broadcast message, other electronic devices in the local network other than the first executing device compare the device identifier in the multicast or broadcast message with its own identifier. If the comparison is successful, it means that the electronic device is a conditional device or an executing device in the IFTTT rule, and replies to the first executing device with their respective addresses, such as IP address, MAC address, etc., so that the subsequent first executing device can follow the The address sends a message related to the linkage to it. If the comparison fails, it means that the electronic device is not a conditional device and an executing device in the IFTTT rule, and the electronic device can ignore the received multicast or broadcast message.

For example: It is still assumed that the IFTTT rule is: If the first event of the first conditional device and the second event of the second conditional device occur at the same time, the first execution device executes the third event. Then, after receiving the multicast or broadcast message sent by the first executing device, the first conditional device determines that it contains the identity of the first conditional device, and then determines that the first conditional device is the conditional device in the IFTTT rule, and then sends An execution device sends the address of the first condition device so that the first execution device can send a corresponding message according to the address of the first condition device. Similarly, the second condition device also sends the address of the second condition device to the first execution device, which will not be repeated here.

Another example: The IFTTT rule is still: If the smart door lock is unlocked and the temperature of the indoor temperature sensor is greater than 28 degrees, the smart air conditioner is turned on and the temperature is set at 24 degrees.

Then, after receiving the broadcast message sent by the smart air conditioner, the smart door lock and the temperature sensor confirm that the broadcast message contains their own identification, and determine that they are related to the IFTTT rule, and then return their own network addresses to the smart air conditioner, namely the smart door The network address of the lock and the network address of the temperature sensor. Other devices in the home network, such as air purifiers, smart doors and windows, etc., after receiving the broadcast message, determine that they are not related to the IFTTT rule, they can directly ignore the broadcast message sent by the smart air conditioner.

S405. The first execution device subscribes to the first conditional device for the first event (shown in step S405a in Figure 4A), and subscribes to the second conditional device for the second event (shown in step S405b in Figure 4A).

Exemplarily, since the first execution device obtains the IFTTT rule and obtains the address of the related condition device in the IFTTT rule, the first execution device may send a subscription message to each condition device to subscribe to the trigger event of each condition device That is, once the trigger event of each condition device occurs, the first execution device will be notified.

For example, the subscription message sent by the first execution device to the first condition device may contain the specific content of the first event. In this way, when the first conditional device determines that the first event occurs according to the subscription message, it can notify the first execution device. Similarly, the subscription message sent by the first execution device to the second condition device may include specific content of the second event. In this way, when the second conditional device determines that the second event occurs according to the subscription message, it can notify the first execution device. In the figure, steps S405a and S405b are respectively shown.

Then, after the smart air conditioner receives the respective network addresses sent by the smart door lock and the temperature sensor, the smart air conditioner subscribes to the smart door lock for event 1 and the temperature sensor for event 2 respectively. Among them, event 1 is the unlocking of the smart door lock. Event 2 is that the temperature of the indoor temperature sensor is greater than 28 degrees. Later, when event 1 occurs in the smart door lock (that is, when the smart door lock is unlocked), the smart air conditioner will be notified. Then, the smart air conditioner queries the temperature sensor whether event 2 has occurred (that is, whether the temperature is greater than 28 degrees X After the temperature sensor determines that the temperature is greater than 28 degrees, it informs the smart air conditioner. Therefore, the smart air conditioner can determine to turn on the smart air conditioner and set the temperature to 24 degrees.

In some embodiments of the present application, after the conditional device receives the subscription message of the execution device, it may report to the execution device whether a trigger event occurs or a message that satisfies the trigger condition at intervals. The execution device can determine whether the corresponding IFTTT rule is satisfied according to the message, and execute the corresponding execution event when it is satisfied. For example: after the first conditional device receives the subscription message of the first execution device, it may report to the first execution device a message about whether the first event has occurred after a period of time. Similarly, after the second conditional device receives the subscription message of the first execution device, it may report to the first execution device a message about whether the second event has occurred after a certain interval of time. The first execution device can determine whether the IFTTT rule is satisfied according to the messages reported by the first condition device and the second condition device, and if it is satisfied, it directly executes the first event.

In some other embodiments of the present application, after receiving the subscription message of the executing device, the conditional device may also send a notification message to the executing device after detecting a corresponding trigger event. For example, the first condition device may also send a notification message that the first event has occurred to the first execution device after detecting the first event. Similarly, the second condition device may also send a notification message that the first event has occurred to the first execution device after detecting the second event.

The following steps S406 to S409 are described with an example in which the conditional device sends a notification message to the execution device after detecting the corresponding trigger event.

S406: When the first event of the first condition device occurs, the first condition device sends a notification message of the first event to the first execution device.

Wherein, the occurrence of the first event of the first condition device includes: the first condition device performs a certain operation, for example: unlocking of a smart door lock. Or, the working state of the first condition device changes, for example: the smart air conditioner changes from the off state to the on state. Or, the detection value of the first condition device satisfies a certain condition, for example: the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor is greater than or equal to 28 degrees. Another example: The human body sensor senses that a human body passes through, etc. That is to say, the specific content of the first event can be changed according to the function of the first condition device, and the specific content of the first event is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

After the first event occurs in the first condition device, a notification message may be sent to the first execution device to notify the first condition device that the first event has occurred.

Exemplarily, the notification message may be a message of a specific format or specific content. After receiving the notification message, the first execution device may determine the first event according to the sender of the notification message (the first conditional device) happened. As another example, the notification message may also carry the identifier of the first conditional device. Then, after receiving the notification message, the first executing device may determine that the first event has occurred according to the identifier of the first conditional device. In another example, the notification message may also carry the identifier of the first event or the content of the first event. Then, after receiving the notification message, the first execution device may perform the identification according to the identifier of the first event or the content of the first event. Make sure that the first event has occurred. The specific form and content of the notification message are not limited in the embodiments of this application.

S407. The first execution device sends a query message to the second condition device, which is used to query whether the second event occurs.

For the content of the second event, reference may be made to the description of the first event in step S406, which will not be repeated here.

In some embodiments, if the first execution device receives the notification message of the first event, but does not receive the notification message of the second event, the first execution device may query the second condition device whether the second event has occurred.

In still other embodiments, if the first execution device receives the notification message of the first event and also receives the notification message of the second event, the first execution device may determine whether the IFTTT is satisfied according to the first event and the second event. Rule, and then step S409 is executed.

S408: The second condition device returns the query result to the first execution device.

After receiving the query message of the first execution device, the second condition device can determine whether the second event has occurred, and return the query result to the first execution device. S409: The first execution device determines to execute the third event according to the notification message of the first event and the query result of the second event.

Wherein, the third event is an execution event of the first execution device, and the execution event may be an action or a series of actions. That is, when the condition that triggers the first execution device to execute the first event is satisfied, the first execution device simultaneously executes or sequentially a series of actions in the first event. The execution event may also set a delay, that is, when the condition that triggers the first execution device to execute the first event is satisfied, the first execution device may start to execute the first event after a preset delay time. This application embodiment does not limit this.

Exemplarily, the first execution device makes a logical judgment according to the notification message of the first event and the query result of the second event. If the judgment result matches the trigger condition in the IFTTT rule, the first execution device executes the third event. If they do not match, the first execution device determines not to execute the third event.

In other examples, the notification message of the first event has timeliness. In other words, the notification message of the first event is valid within the preset time period. If it exceeds the preset time period, the notification message is invalid, that is, the notification message cannot be used to indicate that the first event has occurred, and the first execution device also needs to query the first condition device whether the first event has occurred. In a specific implementation, the conditional device may carry time information in the notification message, and the execution device determines whether the notification message is valid according to the time information. The execution device may also determine whether the notification message is valid according to the time when the notification message is received, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application. The query process is similar to the process in which the first execution device queries the second condition device whether the second event has occurred, and will not be repeated here.

In summary, in the method for multi-electronic device linkage provided in the embodiments of the present application, the executing device obtains the IFTTT rule in advance, and discovers other electronic devices in the IFTTT rule. After a trigger event occurs on a conditional device in the IFTTT rule, the executing device can be notified directly through the local network, and the executing device can also directly query the triggering event of other conditional devices through the local network. When the trigger conditions of all conditional devices meet the IFTTT rules, the executing device can execute the corresponding event, that is, complete the linkage. It can be seen that the entire process from the occurrence of a trigger condition of a certain condition device to the execution of the corresponding event by the executing device is completed in the local network. In this way, even if an electronic device in the local network is disconnected from the Internet, the application can still complete the linkage of multiple electronic devices in the local network, which improves the success rate of linkage and improves the stability of the linkage system. In addition, since multiple electronic devices in the local network communicate directly during the linkage process, instead of using the Internet, it is beneficial to reduce the communication delay and improve the efficiency of linkage. Furthermore, avoiding uploading the status of each electronic device in the local network and the execution status of the IFTTT rules to the Internet is beneficial to avoid security risks.

In other embodiments of the present application, there are more than two conditional devices in an IFTTT rule, for example: there is a third conditional device, and the third conditional device corresponds to the fourth event, the process of multiple electronic device linkage is the same as the above steps S401 to S409 are similar. The difference is:

In step S403, the first execution device requests the discovery of all condition devices according to the IFTTT rule, that is, the discovery of the first condition device, the second condition device, and the third condition device. Therefore, the multicast message or the broadcast message sent by the first execution device also includes the identifier of the third conditional device.

In step S404, after receiving the multicast message or the broadcast message sent by the first execution device, the third conditional device determines that the multicast message or broadcast message contains the identifier of the third conditional device, and also sends the notification to the first execution device. Send the address of the third conditional device, so that the subsequent first execution device can send linkage-related messages to the third conditional device. In step S405, the first execution device also subscribes to the third condition device for the fourth event. Among them, the fourth event is a trigger event corresponding to the third conditional device. For related content, refer to the previous related description, which is not repeated here.

In steps S407 to S409, in some embodiments, if the first execution device receives the notification message of the first event, but does not receive the notification message of the second event and the fourth event, the first execution device sends a notification to the second condition The device queries whether the second event occurs, and queries the third condition device whether the fourth event occurs. The second condition device and the third condition device respectively return the query result to the first execution device, and the first execution device determines whether to execute the third event according to the query result.

If the first execution device receives the notification messages of the first event and the second event, but does not receive the notification message of the fourth event, the first execution device queries the third condition device whether the fourth event occurs. The third condition device returns the query result to the first execution device, and the first execution device determines whether to execute the third event according to the query result.

If the first execution device receives notification messages of the first event, the second event, and the fourth event, the first execution device directly determines whether to execute the third event.

For other content, please refer to the description of the relevant content above, and will not repeat it.

In some other embodiments of the present application, there are two or more execution devices in an IFTTT rule, for example: there is a second execution device.

For example: Assume that the IFTTT rule is: if the first event of the first condition device and the second event of the second condition device occur simultaneously, the first execution device executes the third event, and the second execution device executes the fifth event. Among them, the fifth event is an execution event of the second execution device.

In some examples, it can be understood that the condition that triggers the first execution device to execute the third event is the same as the condition that triggers the second execution device to execute the fifth event. Therefore, when the first execution device determines to execute the third event, the second execution device may be notified to execute the fifth event. Then, the second execution device may not need to obtain the IFTTT rule from the electronic device 10 (electronic device A) or the server 11. The linkage process of multiple electronic devices can still be executed according to the method in steps S401 to S409. The difference is:

In step S403, the first execution device requests to send the first condition device, the second condition device, and the second execution device in the IFTTT rule according to the IFTTT rule. In some embodiments, the multicast message or the broadcast message sent by the first execution device further includes the identifier of the second execution device.

In step S404, after receiving the multicast message or broadcast message sent by the first executing device, the second executing device determines that the multicast message or the broadcast message contains the identifier of the second executing device, and also sends it to the first executing device The address of the second execution device, so that the first execution device can send linkage-related messages to the second execution device subsequently.

In step S409, when the first execution device determines to execute the third event according to the notification message of the first event and the query result of the second event, it sends an instruction to the second execution device to notify the second execution device to execute the fifth event . Then, the second execution device executes the fifth event.

In other examples, the second execution device may obtain the IFTTT rules from the electronic device 10 (electronic device A) or the server 11. The processing procedure after the second execution device obtains the IFTTT rules is the same as the processing after the first execution device obtains the IFTTT rules.

Optionally, in another multi-electronic device linkage method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the conditional device obtains the IFTTT rule in advance, and discovers other electronic devices in the IFTTT rule, such as the execution device. After a trigger event occurs on a certain or some conditional devices in the IFTTT rule, other conditional devices can be notified directly through the local network. After other conditional devices determine that the IFTTT rules are met, they instruct the executing device to execute the corresponding event to complete the linkage.

It can be understood that the method of linkage between multiple electronic devices shown in FIG. 4A can also be applied to linkage between two electronic devices. Specifically, please refer to FIG. 4B. Two electronic devices in a local network provided in an embodiment of this application (Execution equipment and condition equipment) schematic diagram of the linkage method, the method specifically includes:

For this step, refer to the related description in step S409 in FIG. 4A.

As shown in FIG. 5A, it is a schematic diagram of another method for linkage of multiple electronic devices in a local network provided in an embodiment of this application. In the method, the conditional device may obtain the IFTTT rule, but the execution device may not obtain the IFTTT rule. The method specifically includes:

S501. The first conditional device and the second conditional device respectively obtain IFTTT rules.

This step specifically includes: the first conditional device obtains IFTTT rules (step S501a) and the second conditional device obtains IFTTT rules (step S501b X

Wherein, the method for obtaining the IFTTT rule by the first conditional device and the second conditional device may refer to the obtaining of the IFTTT rule by the first executing device in step S401, which will not be repeated.

S502. The first conditional device and the second conditional device respectively perform legality checks on the acquired IFTTT rules. This step specifically includes: the first conditional device performs a legality check on the obtained IFTTT rule (step S502a), and the second conditional device performs a legality check on the obtained IFTTT rule (step S502b).

Exemplarily, the first conditional device and the second conditional device respectively parse the acquired IFTTT rules to determine the completeness and correctness of the IFTTT rules to check to ensure that the conditional device and the Perform equipment linkage.

S503. The first conditional device requests the discovery of the first execution device and the second conditional device according to the IFTTT rule; the second conditional device requests the discovery of the first execution device and the first conditional device according to the IFTTT rule.

This step specifically includes: the first conditional device requests the discovery of the first execution device and the second conditional device (step S503b), and the second conditional device requests the discovery of the first execution device and the first conditional device (S503a).

Exemplarily, the first conditional device and the second conditional device respectively obtain the identifiers of related other devices from the IFTTT rule, and perform multicast or broadcast in the local network, requesting to discover other devices in the IFTTT rule. That is, the multicast or broadcast message in the local network may carry the identification of other devices in the IFTTT rule.

For example: Assume that the IFTTT rule is: if the first event of the first condition device and the second event of the second condition device occur simultaneously, the first execution device executes the third event. The first event is a trigger event of the first conditional device, and the second event is a trigger event of the second conditional device. The third event is an execution event of the first execution device. Then, the first execution The device may multicast or broadcast the identity of the first conditional device and the identity of the second conditional device. Then, the message that the first conditional device multicasts or broadcasts in the local network may carry the identities of the first execution device and the second conditional device. The message that the second conditional device multicasts or broadcasts in the local network may carry the identifiers of the first execution device and the first conditional device.

5504. The first execution device and the second condition device replies to their respective addresses to the first condition device; the first execution device and the first condition device replies to their respective addresses to the second condition device.

In the figure, step S504a, step S504b, step S504c, and step S504d are shown respectively.

S505: When the first event of the first condition device occurs, the first condition device publishes the first event to the second condition device. After the first event occurs in the first condition device, a notification message may be sent to the second condition device to notify the first condition device that the first event has occurred.

Exemplarily, the notification message may be a message of a specific format or specific content, and after receiving the notification message, the second condition device may determine the first event according to the sender of the notification message (the first condition device) happened. As another example, the notification message may also carry the identification of the first conditional device. Then, after receiving the notification message, the second conditional device may determine that the first event has occurred according to the identification of the first conditional device. For another example, the notification message may also carry the identifier of the first event or the content of the first event. Then, after receiving the notification message, the second conditional device may use the identifier of the first event or the content of the first event. Make sure that the first event has occurred. The specific form and content of the notification message are not limited in the embodiments of this application.

S506: When the second event of the second condition device occurs, the second condition device sends a command to execute the third event to the first execution device.

Since the second conditional device has acquired the IFTTT rules, the second conditional device can determine whether the IFTTT rules are satisfied according to the received notification message of the first event, combined with the second event that occurred by itself, and if the IFTTT rules are satisfied, then The first execution device sends a command to execute the third event.

In some embodiments, the notification message of the first event has timeliness. In other words, the notification message of the first event is valid within the preset time period. If it exceeds the preset time period, the notification message is invalid, that is, the notification message cannot be used to indicate that the first event has occurred. Then, when the second event occurs, the second condition device also needs to query the first condition device for the first condition. Whether an event occurs is not repeated in the embodiment of this application.

S507. The first execution device executes the third event.

Wherein, the third event is an execution event of the first execution device, and the execution event may be an action or a series of actions. That is, when the condition that triggers the first execution device to execute the third event is satisfied, the first execution device simultaneously executes or sequentially a series of actions in the third event. The execution event may also set a delay, that is, when the condition that triggers the first execution device to execute the third event is satisfied, the first execution device may start to execute the third event after a preset delay time. This application embodiment does not limit this.

It is understandable that if the second event of the second condition device occurs before the first event of the first condition device, the second condition device will first publish the second event to the first condition device, and then when the first condition device occurs In the case of the first event, it may be determined whether the IFTTT rule is satisfied according to the notification message of the second event and the first event. If it is met, the first condition device instructs the first execution device to execute the third event.

In the following, in combination with specific scenarios, the local linkage method in this embodiment of the present application will be exemplarily described.

As shown in FIG. 5B, the electronic device 10 (electronic device A) is a mobile phone, the first condition device is a smart door, the second condition device is a brightness sensor, and the first execution device is a lamp.

The smart door and the brightness sensor respectively obtain an IFTTT rule from the mobile phone side. For example, if the smart door is unlocked and the brightness sensor detects darkness, the light is turned on. Then, when the smart door unlocks, the event will be posted to the brightness The brightness sensor detects whether the room brightness is dark, and if it is dark, the brightness sensor issues an event to the light. After the light receives the event issued by the brightness sensor, it turns on the light.

In summary, in the method for multi-electronic device linkage provided in the embodiments of the present application, the conditional device obtains the IFTTT rule in advance, and discovers other electronic devices in the IFTTT rule. After a trigger event occurs on the conditional device in the IFTTT rule, it can directly notify other conditional devices through the local network. After each conditional device determines that the IFTTT rule is satisfied, the executing device is instructed to execute the corresponding event, which completes the linkage. It can be seen that the entire process from the occurrence of a trigger condition of a certain condition device to the execution of a corresponding event by the device is completed in the local network, which improves the efficiency of linkage and improves the security of user data.

In other embodiments of the present application, there are more than two conditional devices in an IFTTT rule, for example: there is a third conditional device, and the third conditional device corresponds to the fourth event, the process of multiple electronic device linkage is the same as the above steps S501 to S507 are similar. The difference is:

In step S501, all conditional devices need to obtain the IFTTT rule from the server 11 or the electronic device 10 (electronic device A), that is, the third conditional device also needs to obtain the IFTTT rule. In step S502, the third-condition device also performs a legality check on the IFTTT rule.

In step S503, the first condition device and the second condition device also need to discover the third condition device, that is, the multicast message or broadcast message sent by the first condition device and the second condition device also contains the identity of the third condition device . In the same way, the third conditional device must also send a multicast message or a broadcast message for discovering other electronic devices in the IFTTT rule, such as the first conditional device, the second conditional device, and the first execution device.

In step S504, after receiving the multicast message or the broadcast message sent by the first condition device and the second condition device, the third condition device will also send the third condition device to the first condition device and the second condition device respectively. The address of the device. In the same way, the first conditional device, the second conditional device, and the first execution device will also reply their respective network addresses to the third conditional device after receiving the multicast message or broadcast message sent by the third conditional device.

In steps S505 to S506, when the first event occurs in the first condition device, the first condition device publishes the first event to the second condition device and the third condition device respectively. In this way, both the second condition device and the third condition device learn that the first event has occurred. After the second event occurs, the second condition device publishes the second event to the third condition device (it can also publish the second event to the first condition device at the same time). In this way, when the fourth event of the third condition device (the trigger event corresponding to the third condition device) occurs, the third condition device determines whether to instruct the first execution device to execute the third event according to the IFTTT rule.

In other embodiments of the present application, there are two or more execution devices in an IFTTT rule. For example, there is a second execution device, and the event that the second execution device needs to execute is the fifth event. Then, when it is determined that the trigger events of all conditional devices satisfy the IFTTT rule, the first execution device is instructed to execute the third event, and other execution devices are also instructed to execute the corresponding event.

In this scenario, the methods in steps S501 to S507 can still be used, and the difference lies in:

In steps S503 to S504, when the conditional device discovers other devices in the IFTTT rule, the second execution device also needs to be discovered. For related content, please refer to the above description, which will not be repeated here.

In step S506, when the second event of the second condition device occurs, the second condition device instructs the first execution device to execute the third event, and the second condition device instructs the second execution device to execute the fifth event.

For other content, refer to the description of the relevant content above, and will not be repeated. Optionally, in another multi-electronic device linkage method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the executing device and some conditional devices obtain the IFTTT rule in advance, and discover other electronic devices in the IFTTT rule, such as other conditional devices. When a trigger event occurs on a certain condition device that obtains the IFTTT rule, the trigger event of other condition devices can be queried, or the execution device can be notified, and the execution device condition device can query the trigger events of other condition devices. Finally, when it is determined that the triggering conditions of all the condition devices have occurred, the execution device executes the corresponding event, and the linkage is completed.

As shown in FIG. 6A, it is a schematic diagram of another method for linkage of multiple electronic devices in a local network provided in an embodiment of this application. In the method, the IFTTT rule can be obtained by the partial conditional device and the executing device, and the method specifically includes:

S601. The first conditional device and the first execution device respectively obtain IFTTT rules.

This step specifically includes: the first conditional device obtains the IFTTT rule (step S601a), and the first execution device obtains the IFTTT rule (step S601b).

Wherein, the method for obtaining the IFTTT rule by the first conditional device and the first execution device may refer to the first execution device obtaining the IFTTT rule in step S401, which will not be repeated.

S602. The first condition device and the first execution device respectively perform legality checks on the acquired IFTTT rules. This step specifically includes: the first condition device performs a legality check on the obtained IFTTT rule (step S602b), and the first execution device performs a legality check on the obtained IFTTT rule (S602a).

Exemplarily, the first conditional device and the first execution device respectively parse the acquired IFTTT rules to determine the completeness and correctness of the IFTTT rules to check, so as to ensure that the conditional device and the execution device can be performed according to the acquired IFTTT rules. Perform equipment linkage.

S603. The first conditional device requests discovery of the first conditional device and the second conditional device according to the IFTTT rule; the first conditional device requests discovery of the first conditional device and the second conditional device according to the IFTTT rule.

This step specifically includes: the first conditional device requests the discovery of the first conditional device and the second conditional device (step S603a), and the first conditional device requests the discovery of the first conditional device and the second conditional device (step S603b).

In some embodiments, since the first condition device does not need to send data to the second condition device, during this step, the first condition device may not find the second condition device. That is, the multicast message or broadcast message sent by the first conditional device does not carry the identifier of the second conditional device. In this way, after the second conditional device receives the multicast message or broadcast message, it does not need to reply to the first conditional device. Network address. Similarly, the first execution device does not need to send data to the first conditional device. Therefore, in this step, the first execution device may not discover the first conditional device. That is, the multicast message or broadcast message sent by the first execution device does not carry the identifier of the first conditional device.

5604. The first execution device and the second condition device replies to their respective addresses to the first condition device; the first execution device and the first condition device item and the second condition device replies to their respective addresses.

In the figure, step S604a, step S604b, step S604c, and step S604d are shown respectively.

S605. When the first event of the first condition device occurs, the first condition device publishes the first event to the first execution device. After the first event occurs in the first condition device, a notification message may be sent to the first execution device to notify the first condition device that the first event has occurred.

S606. The first execution device queries the second condition device for the second event according to the IFTTT rule.

S607: The second condition device returns the query result of the second event to the first execution device.

S608: The first execution device executes the third event.

The first execution device determines whether the IFTTT regulations are met according to the notification message of the first event and the query result at the second time. Then. If it is satisfied, the third event is executed. Otherwise, the third event is not executed.

In some other embodiments of the present application, after the first conditional device sends the first event, it may also query the second conditional device for the second event. The first condition device determines whether the first event and the second event meet the IFTTT rule, and if they do, instruct the first execution device to execute the third event. That is, steps S605 to S607 can be replaced with steps S609 to S610, that is, the method of multi-device linkage provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: S601 to S604, S609 to S611, and step S608, as follows:

S609. When the first event occurs in the first condition device, the first condition device queries the second condition device whether the second event occurs.

5610. The second condition device returns the query result of the second time to the first condition device.

5611. The first condition device determines whether the IFTTT rule is satisfied according to the query results of the first event and the second event, and if so, instructs the first execution device to execute the third event.

It should also be noted that, in some embodiments, if the electronic device adopts the process of steps S609 to S611, since the first execution device does not need to send data to the first condition device and the second condition device, in step S603 and In S604, the first execution device may not find the first condition device and the second condition device.

In summary, in this embodiment, the execution device and the conditional device obtain the IFTTT rules, which can save the process of subscribing the execution device to the conditional device for the trigger event. Moreover, in this embodiment, only when the first event of the first condition device occurs, the status of the second event will be inquired. That is to say, when the second event of the second condition device frequently occurs, the second condition device does not need to publish the second event frequently, which is beneficial to saving resources.

For example: as shown in Figure 6B, the electronic device 10 (electronic device A) is a mobile phone, the first condition device is a smart door, the second condition device is a brightness sensor (used to detect the brightness of an indoor environment), and the first execution device is Take the lamp as an example.

The smart door and the light obtain the IFTTT rules from the mobile phone, for example, if the smart door lock is unlocked and the indoor environment is in a dark state, the indoor light is automatically turned on. Then, when the smart door is unlocked, the smart door issues an unlock event to the light. The lamp then queries the brightness sensor to see if the room is dark. If it is dark, the light turns on automatically. It can be seen that in this application, only when the smart door lock is unlocked, which means that someone at home comes back, the detection result of the brightness sensor is checked. If the test result shows that the indoor environment is in a dark state, turn on the light. Considering that when no one is at home, the indoor environment may always be in a dark state. If the brightness sensor keeps reporting indoor dark events, it is meaningless and wastes resources.

In other embodiments of the present application, there are more than two conditional devices in an IFTTT rule, for example: there is a third conditional device, and the third conditional device corresponds to the fourth event, the process of multiple electronic device linkage is the same as the above steps S601 to S608 are similar.

In some examples, the third condition device may not acquire the IFTTT rule. Then, the difference from the method adopted in steps S601 to S608 above is:

In the process of discovering other electronic devices in steps S603 to S604, the third condition device is also discovered, and the specific discovery process will not be described again.

In step S606, when the first execution device queries the second condition device for the second event, it also queries the third condition device for the fourth event. Among them, the fourth event is a trigger event corresponding to the third conditional device. Then, the third condition device returns the query result of the fourth event to the first execution device.

In step S608, the first execution device determines whether the IFTTT rule is satisfied and whether to execute the third event according to the notification message of the first event, the query results of the second event, and the fourth event.

In other examples, the third conditional device can obtain the IFTTT rule. Then, the method differs from the above-mentioned S601 to S604, S609 to S611, and step S608 in that: The interaction between the first conditional device and the third conditional device that have both obtained the IFTTT rule can refer to the interaction between the first conditional device and the second conditional device in steps S501 to S507, and details are not described herein again.

In other examples, the third conditional device can obtain the IFTTT rule. Then, the method differs from the above-mentioned S601 to S604, S609 to S611, and step S608 in that:

The interaction between the first conditional device and the third conditional device that have both acquired the IFTTT rule can refer to the interaction between the first conditional device and the second conditional device in the foregoing steps S501 to S507, and details are not described herein again.

In other embodiments of the present application, there are more than two conditional devices in an IFTTT rule, for example: there is also a third conditional device, the process of linkage of multiple electronic devices is the same as the aforementioned S601 to S604, S609 to S611, and steps S608, similar.

In some examples, the third conditional device may not acquire the IFTTT rule. Then, the method differs from the foregoing S601 to S604, S609 to S611, and step S608 in that:

In step S609, when the first event of the first condition device occurs, the second condition device is inquired about the second event, and the third condition device is also inquired about the fourth event. Then, the third condition device returns the query result of the fourth event to the first condition device.

In step S611, the first conditional device determines whether to instruct the first execution device to execute the third event according to the query results of the first event, the second event, and the fourth event.

In this scenario, the method of steps S601 to S608 or the method of steps S601 to S604, steps S609 to S611, and step S608 can still be used. The difference is:

In steps S603 to S604, the conditional device and the executing device also need to discover the second executing device during the process of discovering other devices in the IFTTT rule. For related content, please refer to the above description, which will not be repeated here.

In step S608, when the first execution device determines to execute the third event, it also instructs the second execution device to execute the fifth event. Alternatively, in step S611, when the first conditional device instructs the first execution device to execute the third event, it also instructs the second execution device to execute the fifth event.

For other content, refer to the description of the relevant content above, and will not be repeated.
