Smart central control device and expansion type smart central control device

Abstract

The invention provides a smart central control device, comprising a main chip; and a memory, a flash memory, a power carrier chip group, an Ethernet chip, a WiFi antenna, a ZigBee chip, a Bluetooth chip and an expansion interface which are in communication connection with the main chip. The smart central control device is configured to carry out communication connection with other smart central control device through the power carrier chip group, the Ethernet chip, the WiFi antenna, the ZigBee chip or the Bluetooth chip and carry out communication connection with a wireless smart device through the WiFi antenna, the ZigBee chip or the Bluetooth chip. The main chip is configured to process, convert and forward different types of signals among the power carrier chip group, the Ethernet chip, the WiFi antenna, the ZigBee chip, the Bluetooth chip and the expansion interface. The flash memory may be configured to enable the smart central control device to be operated as a router, a bridge or a coordinator. The invention also provides the smart central control device comprising expansion hardware.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of network communication, and more specifically, to an intelligent central control device and an extended intelligent central control device. Background technique [0002] With the rise of the Internet of Things, more and more devices are connected to the Internet. In the home environment, there are a large number of devices of different manufacturers or transmission types (such as WiFi, Zigbee or PLC (power line communication), etc.), these devices are relatively independent, and most of the devices cannot be interconnected, usually Two devices from the same manufacturer can be interconnected in a networked situation. [0003] In order to connect multiple devices to the home network, the traditional way is usually to set up a WiFi network, PLC network or Zigbee network in the home environment. For example, in a typical WiFi network, various WiFi devices such as mobile phones, etc. It is connected...

[0003] In order to connect multiple devices to the home network, the traditional way is usually to set up a WiFi network, PLC network or Zigbee network in the home environment. For example, in a typical WiFi network, various WiFi devices such as mobile phones, etc. It is connected to the router to form a home LAN. In this LAN, each device or between the device and the router is transmitted through WiFi. However, this single network generally only allows devices of the same transmission type to be networked, so , when there are a large number of devices with different transmission types in the family, it is usually necessary to purchase multiple sets of devices to form multiple networks to meet the network access needs of these devices. That is, it is difficult to freely interact or communicate between different networks, which limits the realization of many smart home scenarios, making many smart terminals useless and unable to maximize their functions, and it is difficult to effectively improve user experience, which affects the development of smart homes. ; In addition, for the same network, take the WiFi network as an example, if the home space is large, for example, there are two floors, three rooms on each floor, and there are WiFi devices in each room. Limitations, two devices that are far apart (for example, the two devices are located in different rooms or located on the upper and lower floors) either have poor communication effects, or require extremely high costs to achieve a certain communication effect
