Referring to FIG. 2, in an embodiment, the method for controlling the household electrical appliance includes the following steps:

Step S10, the server receives the identification information sent by the terminal device, wherein when the terminal device senses the near field communication tag, it sends the identification information of the near field communication tag to the server;

Step S20, the server obtains device information corresponding to the identification information;

In this embodiment, when the server receives the identification information sent by the terminal device, it obtains the device information corresponding to the identification information from the local storage space of the server, so as to determine the household appliance corresponding to the device information, that is, the household appliance that needs to be controlled. Among them, the terminal device is sensing the Near Field Communication (NFC, Near Field Communication) Communication) tag, the identification information corresponding to the NFC tag is sent to the server. The identification information corresponding to the NFC tag may be any identification of the NFC tag, which is used to distinguish different NFC tags.

In one embodiment, the server associates and stores the identification information with the device information in advance to bind the NFC tag corresponding to the identification information and the home appliance corresponding to the device information. For example, when a user uses a smart phone and senses the NFC tag through the NFC function of the phone for the first time, the user's phone automatically obtains the identification information in the NFC tag, and sends the identification information and the device information of the designated home appliance to the server. The server associates and stores the identification information and the device information of the designated household appliance. For another example, a user logs in to a management page corresponding to the server through a smart phone, and inputs identification information and device information in the management page, so that the server stores the identification information and device information in association.

In one embodiment, the NFC tag can be affixed to the home appliance that is bound to the NFC tag. In this way, when the user wants to control the home appliance, he can touch the NFC tag through a smart terminal such as a mobile phone to control the home appliance. The device is controlled.

For example, the NFC tag can be set near the door frame of the user's house. The user can bind the NFC tag to multiple household appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and water heaters at the same time, and the control instructions are all shutdown instructions. In this way, before going out, the user can Using a mobile phone to touch the NFC tag near the door frame can turn off multiple household appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and water heaters at one time. Users can go out quickly without having to turn off the household appliances one by one.

In one embodiment, when the server fails to obtain the device information corresponding to the identification information, it indicates that the NFC tag corresponding to the identification information is not bound to the home appliance and cannot be quickly controlled. Therefore, the server can return the pairing interface to the terminal device , For the user to select a household appliance through the pairing interface, and when the server receives the device information selected by the terminal device through the pairing interface, it can determine the household appliance corresponding to the device information and control the household appliance.

In an embodiment, a user account may be preset in the terminal device, and the user account may be sent at the same time when the identification information is sent to the server.
