Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
In order to uniformly and efficiently control a plurality of devices in a home, one embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-device control system. FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a multi-device control system 100 according to one embodiment of the invention.
The multi-device control system 100 is used to control a plurality of types of smart devices 200. The smart device 200 is a device that can communicate with the outside (e.g., other devices or servers) using a certain communication protocol, such as RS485 protocol, Modbus RTU protocol, Bluetooth (Bluetooth) protocol, ZigBee protocol, TCP/IP protocol, or the like. The intelligent indoor air conditioner can be specifically realized as a central air conditioner installed in a house, an intelligent security device installed near a gate, a fresh air/humidification system installed on a certain floor, an intelligent lamp, an intelligent curtain, an intelligent floor heating system and the like installed in a certain room, but the intelligent indoor air conditioner is not limited to this. To make the description more concise, it is referred to collectively hereinafter as device 200.
As shown in fig. 1, the multi-device control system 100 includes a master control unit 110 and at least one slave control unit 120. The multi-device control system 100 shown in fig. 1 is merely an example in which one master control unit 110 and three slave control units 120 are shown. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that in practice, the multi-device control system 100 may include any number of master control units 110 and slave control units 120, and the present invention does not limit the number of master control units 110 and slave control units 120 included in the multi-device control system 100.
The master control unit 110 is connected to each device 200 and each slave control unit 120, respectively. Wherein the main control unit 110 is adapted to receive a first control instruction for any one of the devices 200 and to control the respective device 200 based on the first control instruction. For example, when the device 200 currently controlled by the main control unit 110 is a central air conditioner, the user may control the central air conditioner through the main control unit 110, and when the device 200 currently controlled by the main control unit 110 is a floor heating, the user may control the floor heating through the main control unit 110. The slave control unit 120 is adapted to receive a second control instruction of any one of the devices 200 and to forward the first control instruction to the master control unit 110, so that the master control unit 110 controls the respective device 200 based on the second control instruction. Continuing with the foregoing example, when the device 200 currently controlled by the main control unit 110 is a central air conditioner, the user may send a control instruction to the main control unit 110 through the slave control unit 120 to further control the central air conditioner, and when the device 200 currently controlled by the main control unit 110 is a floor heating device, the user may send a control instruction to the main control unit 110 through the slave control unit 120 to further control the floor heating device.
In some embodiments, the master control unit 110, as well as the slave control units 120, are spatially located differently. For example, the master control unit 110 may be located at a doorway location in a house, with one slave control unit 120 located in the master bedroom and the other slave control unit 120 located in the secondary bedroom … …. In short, the main control unit 110 is disposed at a position close to each of the devices 200, so that when the main control unit 110 is connected to each of the devices 200, there are advantages of saving a connection line, optimizing the complexity of the indoor line, and reducing the connection cost. The slave control unit 120 is disposed at a position easily operated by a user, for example, a position such as a bed head of a bedroom, and is convenient for the user to operate.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of the main control unit 110 provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the main control unit 110 includes a device connection module 111, a control module 112, a control module 113, a device switching module 114, a display module 115, and a storage module 116, which are electrically connected.
The device connection module 111 is used to connect the main control unit 110 with each device 200 by means of wired connection. The device connection module 111 has integrated therein connection firmware corresponding to each device 200, each of which can adapt a communication protocol of at least one device 200. For example, if the device 200 includes a central air conditioner, which communicates with other devices via a 485Modbus RTU protocol, a firmware capable of communicating via the 485Modbus RTU protocol is configured in the device connection module 111, so as to enable the central air conditioner to communicate with the main control unit 110. When the communication protocol supported by other devices is different from the 485Modbus RTU protocol, only the corresponding firmware needs to be integrated in the device connection module 111.
In addition, the device connection module 111 is also used to connect the master control unit 110 with each slave control unit 120 by wireless connection. Specifically, the device connection module 111 further integrates a wireless communication sub-module, and each slave control unit 120 also integrates a wireless communication sub-module accordingly. The wireless communication sub-module in the device connection module 111 may support any one of wireless communication protocols such as Bluetooth (Bluetooth) protocol, ZigBee protocol, TCP/IP protocol, and the like. After determining the wireless communication protocol supported by the wireless communication sub-module in the device connection module 111, the slave control unit 120 configures the corresponding communication sub-module. Compared with a wireless connection, the wired connection mode can ensure the stability of the multi-device system 100.
Preferably, with continued reference to fig. 1, the multi-device control system 100 may further include a plurality of intelligent gateways 130, through which transmission of control instructions, i.e., related data, in the multi-device control system 100 is achieved. The intelligent gateways 130 can be broadly divided into two types, wired gateways and wireless gateways. Any one wired gateway corresponds to one device. For example, the central air conditioner corresponds to an air conditioner gateway, and the humidifier corresponds to a humidifier gateway. One end of the wired gateway is connected to the corresponding device 200, and the other end is connected to the corresponding firmware in the device connection module 111. The wireless gateway may be embodied as a router, a server enabling a routing protocol, or the like, but is not limited thereto.
Each device 200 is also wirelessly connected to the main control unit 110, in addition to the devices that are wired to the main control unit 110. For example, for floor heating equipment with relatively simple control, (only the switch of the floor heating water valve needs to be controlled), the floor heating equipment can be selectively in wired connection with the main control unit 110, and can also be selectively in wireless connection with the main control unit 110. This is not a limitation of the present application.
The control module 112 is used to provide at least one control for controlling the device 200. Preferably, the controls included in the controls module 112 can implement all of the functionality of any one of the devices 200. For example, on/off, mode setting, temperature setting, and wind speed setting of the central air conditioner, etc.; on/off of fresh air/humidification, setting of wind speed and the like; the on/off and temperature setting of the floor heating are carried out, and the valve is automatically opened and closed according to the set temperature.
The control module 113 is configured to generate a corresponding control instruction based on a trigger operation of the user on each control. For example, the first control command described above.
In a specific example, the device 200 currently controlled by the main control unit 110 is a central air conditioner, and the control module 112 includes controls for the central air conditioner, such as power on/off, mode setting, temperature setting, and wind speed setting. When the user triggers the start-up control, the control module 113 electrically connected to the control module 112 generates a start-up command, and starts the central air conditioner based on the start-up command.
The display module 115 is used for displaying relevant information of the device currently controlled by the main control unit 110, wherein the relevant information at least comprises operation state information of the device. For example, the temperature set by the user for the central air conditioner, the customs of the central air conditioner, and the like. In addition, the display function such as the indoor ambient temperature (a temperature sensor needs to be provided in the main control unit 110), the networking state, and the like can also be displayed. But is not limited thereto.
The control module 112 includes a device switching control in addition to control controls for different devices, and when a user triggers the device switching control, the control module 113 correspondingly generates a switching control instruction (which may implement switching from the device 1 to the device 2), and the device switching module 114 may switch the currently controlled device to the device indicated by the switching instruction after receiving the switching instruction. Preferably, the device switching module 114 records a configuration file of IR addresses of each device. The configuration file is generated in advance. Specifically, the device switching module 114 performs IP numbering for each device according to the device accessed in the system, for example, if a central air conditioner, a fresh air/humidifier and a floor heating device are accessed in the system, the number of the central air conditioner is 1, the number of the fresh air/humidifier is 2, and the number of the floor heating device is 3. The user can select the equipment to be switched according to the IP number of each equipment. In particular the selection process may be done in the display module 115.
In a specific example, after the user triggers the device switching control, the display module 115 displays names or numbers of all devices, and the user determines the device to be switched finally by selecting the name or number of the target device.
The storage module 116 is configured to store relevant information of each device 200, so that when the system 100 is restarted, each device 200 is restored to an operating state before the system 100 is restarted based on the stored relevant information. When the system 100 is powered off, the relevant information of the operation of each device is recorded in the storage module, and after the system 100 is restarted, the system 100 controls each device 200 to operate each device according to the operation information stored in the storage module before the power off on the premise that a user does not intervene. For example, when the system 100 is powered off, the set temperature of the central air conditioner is 25 ℃, and the wind speed is 5. When the system 100 is restarted, the central air conditioner is operated at the temperature of 25 ℃ and the wind speed of 5.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic structural diagram of the slave control unit 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the slave control unit 120 includes a control module 121, a control module 122, a display module 123, and an update module 124, which are electrically connected.
It should be noted that the working principles of the control module 121, the control module 122, and the display module 123 are similar to those of the control module 112, the control module 113, and the display module 115, and reference may be made to the description of the control module 112, the control module 113, and the display module 115 for relevant parts, which is not described herein again.
The updating module 124 is used for updating the controlled device 200 to the control device 200 of the slave control unit 110 when the master control unit 110 switches the controlled device 200. Specifically, when the device 200 controlled by the main control unit 110 is switched, the control module 113 of the main control unit 110 sends an update instruction to the update module 124, where the update instruction at least includes the device information after the switching of the main control unit 110. The update module 124 switches the device 200 controlled by the slave control unit 120 to the device 200 switched by the master control unit 110 according to the update.
In addition, the slave control unit 120 may also be implemented as a mobile terminal, for example, a mobile phone, a smart speaker, a smart computer, and the like. But is not limited thereto.
FIG. 4 illustrates an interaction flow diagram of a multi-device control method 400 according to one embodiment of the invention. The method 400 is suitable for execution in the multi-device control system 100 described above.
As shown in fig. 4, on the one hand, the main control unit 110 receives a first control instruction to any one of the apparatuses 200 and controls the corresponding apparatus 200 based on the first control instruction.
On the other hand, the slave control unit 120 receives a second control instruction for any one of the appliances 200 and forwards the second control instruction to the main control unit 110 so that the main control unit 110 controls the corresponding appliance 200 based on the second control instruction.
It should be noted that the flow of the method 400 is similar to the work flow and the work principle of the system 100, and reference may be made to the description of the system 100 for relevant points, which is not repeated herein.
