Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0053] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these process, method, product, or device.

[0054] In the related art, the maintenance and testing of plugins are both carried out locally on the client side. Therefore, when there are more and more plugins, when maintaining and testing the plugins, it is necessary to maintain and test the plugins one by one on different clients respectively, resulting in high maintenance costs and difficult testing of the plugins.

[0055] An embodiment of the present application provides a plugin application method, which can be applied to any electronic device;

[0056] The electronic devices described in the embodiments of the present application may include smart phones (such as Android phones, iOS phones, Windows Phone phones, etc.), tablet computers, palmtop computers, laptop computers, video matrices, monitoring platforms, mobile Internet devices (MIDs), or wearable devices, etc. The above are only examples, not exhaustive, including but not limited to the above devices. Of course, the above electronic devices may also be servers, for example, cloud servers.

[0057] As Figure 1 shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0058] Step 101, obtain an indication parameter for accessing a plugin, and the plugin can control the operation of a smart home device.

[0059] In this embodiment, an application program (APP) for controlling a smart home device is deployed on the electronic device, and different plugins can run on the application program. Each plugin is used to control the operation of a smart home device of a certain device category, and the smart home devices belonging to the same device category are controlled by the same plugin.

[0060] Exemplarily, the device categories of smart home devices may be air conditioner category, washing machine category, refrigerator category, electric light category, access control device category, etc.

[0061] In this embodiment, the indication parameter for accessing the plugin is obtained by any one of the following three methods:

[0062] First, obtain the indication parameter from the network configuration information of the firmware of the smart home device.

[0063] It should be understood that the firmware is a program written into an EPROM (erasable programmable read-only memory) or an EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory). The firmware refers to the "driver program" stored inside the device. Through the firmware, the operating system can implement the running actions of specific machines according to the standard device drivers. For example, optical drives, burners, etc. all have internal firmware.

[0064] Firmware is the software that undertakes the most fundamental and lowest-level work of a system. In hardware devices, firmware is the soul of the hardware device. Since some hardware devices have no other software components except firmware, firmware thus determines the functions and performance of the hardware device.

[0065] In this embodiment, before the smart home device leaves the factory, the indication parameter can be written into the network configuration information of the firmware of the smart home device in advance. In the application, before the application program controls the smart home device, it is necessary to first control the networking through forms such as Bluetooth, that is, to configure the network for the smart home. After the smart home device is successfully network-configured, the network configuration information of the smart home device can be obtained, and the indication parameter is included in the network configuration information.

[0066] Second, obtain the indication parameter from the configuration information of the application program matched by the plugin.

[0067] In this embodiment, the indication parameters corresponding to different plugins are written into the configuration information of the application program in advance, so the indication parameter can be obtained from the configuration information of the application program.

[0068] Exemplarily, the configuration information of the application program may include indication parameters set based on the device type of the smart device. For example, the indication parameter of the plugin for controlling the air conditioner is A, the indication parameter of the plugin for controlling the refrigerator is B, and the indication parameter of the plugin for controlling the TV is C. Therefore, when the user needs to control the smart home device through the plugin of the application program, according to the device type of the smart home device indicated by the user (such as the air conditioner type), the electronic device obtains the indication parameter corresponding to the device type (such as indication parameter A) from the configuration information of the application program.

[0069] It should be understood that the device type identifier of the smart home device is pre-stored on the electronic device side. When the user needs to control the smart home device through the plugin of the application program, according to the device type of the smart home device indicated by the user, the device type identifier of the smart home device is obtained, and then the indication parameter corresponding to the device type identifier of the smart home device is obtained from the configuration information of the application program, and the indication parameter corresponding to the device type identifier of the smart home device is used as the indication parameter corresponding to the device type.

[0070] Third, obtain the indication parameter based on the device type identifier of the smart home device.

[0071] In this embodiment, the device type identifier of the smart home device to be controlled is pre-stored on the electronic device side. When the user needs to control the smart home device through the plugin of the application program, according to the device type of the smart home device indicated by the user, the device type identifier of the smart home device is obtained, and then through the cloud interface of the cloud device, the indication parameter corresponding to the device type identifier is obtained from the cloud device.

[0072] In this embodiment, the indication parameter includes, but is not limited to, the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) address of the plugin. It should be understood that in the application, the indication parameter can also be a plugin identifier used to uniquely identify the plugin.

[0073] Step 102: Access the plugin deployed on the cloud device based on the indication parameter, and control the operation of the smart home device based on the plugin.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the electronic device accesses the plugin deployed on the cloud device based on the indication parameter and controls the operation of the smart home device based on the plugin, there can be the following two methods:

[0075] First, in order to save storage space on the electronic device side, the plugin runs on the cloud device. The application program of the electronic device accesses the plugin running on the cloud device through the URL address of the plugin, and controls the operation of the smart home device based on the plugin.

[0076] In this case, the application program side of the electronic device can display a client interface corresponding to the URL address. The user can input control parameters for the smart home device through the client interface, so as to enable the plugin to control the operation of the smart home device based on the control parameters.

[0077] Taking the smart home device as an air conditioner as an example, the control parameters input by the user through the client interface for the smart home device can be refrigeration, maximum wind speed, and timing for 30 minutes. After the plugin obtains the control parameters, it controls the air conditioner to run in the refrigeration mode at the maximum wind speed according to the control parameters, and ends refrigeration after running for 30 minutes.

[0078] Second, in order to reduce situations such as delays in the interaction between the client and the plugin when accessing the plugin, it can be accessed by downloading. Download the plugin from the cloud device based on the indication parameter, and run the plugin in the application program that matches the plugin.

[0079] In this case, since the plugin runs on the electronic device side, the control of the plugin can be free from the problem of low control efficiency due to network bandwidth reasons.

[0080] In the application, the cloud device can download the plugin in real time when it is necessary to control the smart home device, or it can be a pre-download process. Still taking the smart home device as an air conditioner as an example, when realizing pre-download, the App performs connection and network configuration operations on the air conditioner through forms such as wifi and Bluetooth. While performing network configuration, it can access the cloud to pre-download the plugin corresponding to the air conditioner. When the user needs to control the air conditioner through the App, the download time is reduced, and the user experience is optimized.

[0081] In the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, an indication parameter for accessing a plugin is obtained, and the plugin can control the operation of a smart home device; the plugin deployed on the cloud device is accessed based on the indication parameter, and the smart home device is controlled to operate based on the plugin. Since the plugin is deployed on the cloud device, maintenance and testing of the plugin can be centralized and unified, thus reducing the maintenance cost of the plugin and the difficulty of testing.

[0082] For the convenience of comparison, an example is given: Before the plugin is deployed on the cloud device, the code of the plugin is saved on the client. When testing the plugin for air conditioners, the air conditioner is networked, and then the client interface corresponding to the plugin is entered from the air conditioner, and then the plugin is tested; when the plugin is deployed on the cloud device, when the plugin needs to be tested, the tester can directly run the plugin on the cloud device or open the URL of the plugin for debugging, saving the development time cost.

[0083] When accessing the plugin deployed on the cloud device by the method of downloading the plugin from the cloud device based on the indication parameter and running the plugin in the application that matches the plugin, the plugin downloaded on the electronic device side can also be updated.

[0084] In a specific embodiment, after accessing the plugin deployed on the cloud device based on the indication parameter and controlling the smart home device to operate based on the plugin, it further includes: querying the current version information of the plugin from the cloud device based on the device type identifier of the smart home device; when the current version information indicates that the version of the plugin is higher than the version of the plugin deployed locally, downloading the plugin corresponding to the current version information from the cloud device based on the indication parameter and through the network, and updating the plugin deployed locally with the plugin corresponding to the current version.

[0085] In the application, the detection and update of the version of the plugin on the electronic device side can be performed in real time, periodically, or when the application is started each time. The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this.

[0086] Taking the case of performing it when the application is started each time as an example, when the application is started each time, the version of the plugin deployed locally is compared with the version of the plugin deployed on the cloud device, and when it is determined that the versions are inconsistent, the plugin deployed locally is updated.

[0087] In this embodiment, in order to improve the user experience and achieve a seamless update operation, it is set to update the plugin preferably when the network is idle. That is to say, before downloading the plugin corresponding to the current version information from the cloud device based on the indication parameter and through the network, it is necessary to obtain the current network status, and when it is determined that the network is idle based on the current network status, the step of downloading the plugin corresponding to the current version is executed.

[0088] In an application, there may be a situation where a plugin needs to be used before it is completely updated. If the user needs to use the plugin before it is updated, it is necessary to force the update to be completed before allowing the use of the plugin, and the user should be reminded to wait through methods such as pop-up prompts.

[0089] In another embodiment of the present application, in order to enable access to the plugin from a cloud device, it is also necessary to pre-package the plugin and upload it to the cloud device so that the cloud device can obtain the indication parameters of the plugin. Specifically, when implemented, the cloud device can cloudify the plugin to generate a cloudified link of the plugin, that is, a URL address.

[0090] To more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present application, the following uses a smart home device, an air conditioner as an example, to describe the solution of the present application.

[0091] After a certain function is developed and packaged into a plugin, it is uploaded to the cloud for cloudification operations. After the client obtains the cloudified link, it can freely choose the loading method of the plugin for use. The specific process is as follows:

[0092] Plugin cloudification: Package and extract the functions that need to be cloudified in the project, and independently upload them to the server for cloudification.

[0093] Client usage: When the client needs to use the plugin, it can choose to directly access through the URL. In order to reduce situations such as delays in the interaction between the client accessing the plugin and the plugin, it can be accessed through the pre-download method. The specific implementation when accessing through the pre-download method is as follows:

[0094] First, the App links and configures the network of the air conditioner through forms such as wifi and Bluetooth. While configuring the network, it can access the cloud to pre-download the corresponding plugin of the air conditioner. When the user needs to control the air conditioner through the App, the download time is reduced, optimizing the user experience.

[0095] Among them, the ways for the client to obtain the URL are as follows:

[0096] Returned from the firmware: When configuring the network, relevant network configuration information of the firmware will be obtained, including the plugin URL download link, and the client can obtain the URL for downloading.

[0097] Client configure the URL: Configure the corresponding URL for each plugin. When downloading is required, access the specified plugin URL to download.

[0098] Provide the URL of the plugin by obtaining the air conditioner id through the cloud interface.

[0099] Update of the client plugin: Each time the client starts, compare the locally existing plugin with the cloud version. 1. Give priority to background updating of the plugin when the client network is idle to achieve a seamless update operation and improve the user experience; 2. If the plugin needs to be used before the client update is completed and it is required to be forcibly updated to be used, update it immediately and remind the user to wait through methods such as pop-up prompts; 3. Finally, the plugin can be updated through solutions such as client version upgrade and manual detection upgrade.

[0100] Adopting the solution of this application, the client no longer needs to concern itself with the plugin implementation logic. It only needs to load or download the cloud plugin to be able to use it, which is both convenient and can reduce the burden on the client. Through the cloud management of plugins, plugins can be managed more efficiently, enabling one plugin to be used on multiple devices, achieving independent development and independent testing, and saving unnecessary operation and maintenance costs.
