Please refer to FIG. 1 . FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a device movement method provided by the first embodiment of the present application. The execution subject of the device movement method in this embodiment is an electronic device, and the electronic device is provided with a motor. The device movement method shown in Figure 1 may include:

S101: Acquire motion information collected by a motion sensor, where the motion information is used to identify a device state.

In this implementation, a motion sensor is installed on the electronic device, and the electronic device can collect motion information through the motion sensor. The motion information is used to identify the device state, and the device state may include a motion state and a static state.

The electronic device in this embodiment can be applied in the field of smart home. For example, the electronic device in this embodiment is installed on the track of the railed curtain, and the curtain is automatically opened and closed through the movement of the electronic device. When the electronic device is stationary, manually pulling the curtain can drive the electronic device to passively move. The electronic device obtains the motion information collected by the motion sensor, and the motion information identifies the device state as a motion state.

The motion sensor may be an acceleration sensor. The electronic device acquires the motion information collected by the acceleration sensor to identify the device state. For example, the electronic device obtains the motion acceleration through the acceleration sensor, and when the motion acceleration exceeds a preset threshold, the device state is determined to be a motion state; the electronic device can also identify the device state through the tap function of the acceleration sensor, and the acceleration sensor generally has a light Knock function, when a level change occurs on the interrupt pin when tapping, it is determined whether there is a tap event by capturing the level change. When a tap event occurs and the level change exceeds the preset level threshold, it is determined that the device state is state of motion.

It should be noted that, in this step, the motion information collected by the electronic device through the motion sensor can only determine whether the electronic device is in a motion state. However, when it is determined that the electronic device is in a motion state, the reason for triggering the movement of the electronic device cannot be determined, and the reason for triggering the movement of the electronic device may be manually triggered by the user, triggered by motor movement, or triggered by the outside world. The external triggers may include environmental triggers, such as natural wind triggers or pet triggers, and so on.

S102: If the device state is a motion state and the motor is not actively moving, obtain a motion direction and a motion distance.

The electronic device determines that the device state of the electronic device is a motion state. If the motion is triggered by the active motion of the motor, it means that the motor is currently running, and there is no need to continue executing this embodiment. Therefore, after the electronic device determines that the device state of the electronic device is in the motion state, it is necessary to determine the triggering cause of the motion, to exclude the case where the motor is triggered by active motion.

In general, the active motion of the motor refers to the motion controlled by the controller. The electronic device can detect that the motor is moving through the sensor, but it is not controlled by the controller itself, and the motor can be determined to be inactive.

If the electronic device detects that the device state is a motion state and the motor is not actively moving, the motion direction and motion distance are obtained. Specifically, in this embodiment, a pedometer may be set on the electronic device. When acquiring the movement direction and movement distance, the electronic device may turn on the pedometer, and collect the movement direction and movement distance through the pedometer.

The movement direction is used to determine which direction the motor will move in after starting, that is, whether the motor should rotate forward or reverse. The movement distance refers to the movement distance of the electronic device from the stationary position to the current position. The movement distance is the trigger condition for active movement. If the movement distance exceeds the preset distance within a certain period of time, it is considered to be manually triggered by the user.

S103: If the movement distance satisfies a preset start condition, control the motor to move in the movement direction.

A preset activation condition is preset in the electronic device, and the preset activation condition is used to determine whether the current motion is an effective motion, wherein the effective motion may be understood as a motion manually triggered by a user. If the electronic device determines that the movement distance satisfies the preset start condition, it controls the motor to move in the movement direction.

Specifically, a preset distance is pre-stored in the electronic device, and if the movement distance is greater than or equal to the preset distance, the motor is controlled to move in the movement direction. The movement distance captured here is compared with the preset distance to determine whether to trigger active movement. When the movement distance exceeds the movement distance threshold, it is determined as a manual trigger by the user, and the trigger is determined to be an effective trigger, and an active movement is triggered to control the motor to move in the movement direction.

In one embodiment, a pedometer is installed on the electronic device. If the movement distance does not meet the preset activation conditions, it means that the current movement is not a valid movement, and the movement may be caused by the accidental touch of the pet. Here, to save energy, the pedometer can be turned off. When the next time the electronic device detects that the device state is in motion, turn on the pedometer again, detect that the motor is in inactive motion, and then obtain the motion direction and motion distance.

In one embodiment, a preset target position for active movement is preset in the electronic device. Taking the electronic device installed on the tracked curtain track as an example, the preset target position may be the position corresponding to the fully opened curtain, or it may be The corresponding position when the curtains are fully closed. In addition, the user can also send an instruction to stop the movement to the electronic device to manually intervene in the movement. Therefore, if the electronic device detects that the motor has moved to a preset target position or detects an instruction to stop the movement, it stops the movement.

In one embodiment, the electronic device is provided with a pedometer. If the electronic device detects that the motor moves to a preset target position or detects a stop motion instruction, the motion is stopped. In order to save energy, the pedometer can be turned off.

In one embodiment, if the electronic device determines that the movement distance satisfies the preset start conditions, the motor is controlled to move in the direction of movement, and the movement sensor can stop collecting movement information, that is, the function of judging whether to perform active movement in this embodiment is turned off to avoid The same triggering process is performed again during the active motion of the motor. If the electronic device detects that the motor has moved to a preset target position or detects a stop motion instruction, the motion is stopped, and the motion sensor can resume collecting motion information, that is, the function of judging whether to perform active motion in this embodiment is enabled.

In one embodiment, a preset distance is pre-stored in the electronic device, and if the movement distances obtained multiple times within a preset time period are all less than the preset distance, it is determined that the current movement is not a valid movement. It may be other external triggers, such as wind, small animals, etc., you can turn off the pedometer and continue to cycle for the next judgment.

It should be understood that the size of the sequence numbers of the steps in the above embodiments does not mean the sequence of execution, and the execution sequence of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.
