The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application but are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.

[0020] In the following description, the terms "first\second\third" involved are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of the objects. It can be understood that "first\second\third" can be interchanged with a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0023] It should be understood that some embodiments described herein are merely used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present application.

[0024] Figure 1A A schematic diagram of the architecture of a controlled device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1A As shown, the controlled device includes: a first network chip 11, a first controller 12 and a second network chip 13, wherein:

[0025] The first network chip 11 is used to establish a first communication connection with the main control device;

[0026] Here, the first network chip 11 is connected to the master device and is used to send and receive interactive data between the master device and the controlled device. In implementation, the first network chip 11 can be used to receive wired signals sent by the master device, and can also be used to receive wireless signals sent by the master device.

[0027] A first controller 12, at least for controlling the working state of the controlled device;

[0028] Here, the first controller 12 can control the operating state of the controlled device based on adjusting the power state of the controlled device. For example, the first controller 12 can be an embedded controller (EC), which is a control system used to perform specified independent control functions and has the ability to process data in a complex manner. It can be used to control, monitor, manage, or assist the operation of the controlled device in real time. An embedded controller is an electronic device or device controlled by an embedded microelectronic technology chip (including a series of microelectronic devices such as a microprocessor chip, timer, sequencer, or controller) and can complete various automated processing tasks such as monitoring and control.

[0029] The working state of the controlled device includes at least one of the following states: normal working state, dormant state, sleeping state, standby state and shutdown state, wherein, in the normal working state, the user can use the controlled device normally; in the dormant state, all data in the memory of the controlled device will be stored in a specific space on the hard disk, and the power-on state can be re-triggered, and the memory data temporarily stored on the hard disk can be restored to the memory, and the previous normal working progress can be restored; in the dormant state, the system of the controlled device will save the data being processed to the memory, and all devices in the controlled device except the memory can stop powering up; in the standby state, the system of the controlled device will save the current state in the memory, and then exit the system. At this time, the power consumption of the controlled device is reduced, and the CPU, memory and hard disk are maintained at the minimum operation; in the shutdown state, except for the first controller 12, all other devices in the controlled device can stop powering up.

[0030] For example, if the controlled device is a laptop, the EC could be a single-chip microcontroller (MCU) that implements keyboard control, touchpad management, power management, fan control, laptop battery management, and other functions. The EC is typically a standalone chip containing independently executed software stored in non-volatile media within the EC chip (or shared with the BIOS). The EC remains active throughout the laptop's lifespan, even when the laptop is turned off. As long as power is available, the EC begins operating, waiting for a key press, processing the power-up sequence, and powering up the laptop.

[0031] The second network chip 13 can establish a signal connection with the first controller 12 to send the control request from the master device to at least the first controller 12, so that the first controller 12 switches the working state of the controlled device.

[0032] Here, the second network chip 13 can be a chip that can receive signals sent by the master device using a network cable or wireless transmission. The chip can receive network signals and convert the received network signals into signals that can be recognized by the first controller 12 using a network protocol. In this way, the second network chip 13 establishes a signal connection with the first controller 12, can receive control requests from the master device, convert the control requests into requests that can be recognized by the first controller 12, and send the requests to the first controller 12.

[0033] The first network chip 11 and the second network chip 13 can be the same or different network chips. They are defined to perform different functions: the first network chip 11 is configured to receive network signals sent by the master device when the controlled device is operating normally; the second network chip 13 is configured to receive control requests sent by the master device when the controlled device needs to switch operating states, thereby causing the first controller 12 to switch the operating state of the controlled device. The control requests may include control instructions for changing the operating state of the controlled device, or control instructions or request commands for the master device to perform operations such as data access, data exchange, setting item modification, and parameter adjustment on the controlled device.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present application, the controlled device includes a first network chip for establishing a first communication connection with a master device; a first controller for at least controlling the working state of the controlled device; and a second network chip capable of establishing a signal connection with the first controller to transmit a control request from the master device to at least the first controller, so that the first controller switches the working state of the controlled device. In this way, when the working state needs to be changed, the controlled device can use the first controller to obtain a signal from the second network chip to change the working state. The user does not need to directly operate the controlled device. The user can change the working state of the controlled device through the master device, thereby enabling remote startup of the controlled device. This solves the problem in the prior art that remote startup requires the use of a boot stick, which then requires the boot stick and BIOS settings to be implemented, which is difficult for ordinary users to complete, and provides users with a good user experience.

[0035] Figure 1B A schematic diagram of the architecture of a controlled device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1B As shown, the controlled device includes: a first network chip 11, a first controller 12, a second network chip 13, a second controller 14 and a circuit switch 15, wherein:

[0036] The second controller 14 is signal-connected to the first controller 12 and is configured to control the connection state of the circuit switch 15 based on the working state of the controlled device fed back by the first controller;

[0037] Here, the second controller 14 can be a microcontroller unit (MCU), also known as a single-chip microcomputer or single-chip microcomputer. It is a central processing unit (CPU) with appropriately reduced frequency and specifications, and peripheral interfaces such as memory, timer, universal serial bus (USB), digital-to-analog converter, universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter (UART), programmable logic controller (PLC), and direct memory access (DMA) are integrated into a single chip to form a chip-level computer, which can provide different combination controls for different applications.

[0038] The second controller 14 is connected to the second network chip 13, the circuit switch 15, and the first controller 12, and has at least two functions:

[0039] Function 1: receiving the working status of the controlled device fed back by the first controller 12 and determining the connection status of the circuit switch 15 based on the working status;

[0040] Function 2: Obtain the control signal sent by the second network chip 13 and forward the control signal to the first controller 12 .

[0041] The line switch 15 can respond to the control of the second controller 14 and connect to the first network chip or the second network chip 13, so that the controlled device can establish a first communication connection with the main control device through the first network chip based on the working state, or establish a second communication connection with the main control device through the second network chip 13.

[0042] Here, the line switch 15 is connected to the second controller 14 , the first network chip 11 and the second network chip 13 respectively, and is used to receive the network signal from the main control device using a network cable or wirelessly, and send the network signal to the first network chip 11 or the second network chip 13 .

[0043] In some embodiments, the circuit switch 15 operates as follows: first, in response to control by the second controller 14, it selects a connection with the first network chip 11 or the second network chip 13, so that the controlled device establishes a first communication connection with the master device via the first network chip 11, or a second communication connection with the master device via the second network chip 13, based on the operating state of the controlled device; then, it receives a network signal from the master device and sends the network signal to the first network chip 11 or the second network chip 13. In this way, the path for receiving network signals can be determined based on the different operating states of the controlled device.

[0044] In this embodiment of the present application, the controlled device further includes a second controller that controls the connection status of the circuit switch, and is capable of responding to the control of the second controller to connect the circuit switch to the first network chip or the second network chip. This allows the second controller to control the circuit switch to switch the path for receiving network signals based on the different operating states of the controlled device. The second controller can also transmit control requests from the master device received by the second chip to the first controller.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second network chip is set in the controlled device; or, the second network chip is set in the network cable connecting the controlled device and the master device; or, the second network chip and the line switch are set in the network cable between the controlled device and the master device.

[0046] During the implementation process, if Figure 1A and 1B As shown, the second network chip 13 can be set in the controlled device. In this way, by improving and setting the hardware and software of the controlled device, it is possible to receive the control request of the remote master device to change the working state of the controlled device.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, the second network chip 13 can also be installed in the network cable connecting the controlled device and the master device, or the second network chip 13 and the circuit switch 15 can be installed in the network cable between the controlled device and the master device. In this way, by improving the hardware and software of the network cable, it is possible to receive control requests from the remote master device and change the operating state of the controlled device.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the controlled device is in the first working state, the circuit switch is connected to the first network chip, and the controlled device establishes a first communication connection with the master device through the first network chip;

[0049] When the controlled device is in the second working state, the line switch is connected to the second network chip, and the first controller establishes a second communication connection with the master device through the second network chip, so that the first controller can respond to the control request of the master device to control the controlled device to switch from the second working state to the first working state.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first operating state may be a normal operating state of the controlled device, and the second operating state may be a dormant state, a sleeping state, a standby state, or a shutdown state of the controlled device. Thus, by responding to the control request through the second network chip, the controlled device may be switched from the dormant state, the sleeping state, the standby state, or the shutdown state to the normal operating state.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the controlled device receives different network signals through the first network chip or the second network chip in different operating states. When the controlled device is in the second operating state, the second network chip responds to the control request, causing the controlled device to switch from the second operating state to the first operating state. In this way, the controlled device can use different network chips to achieve network communication in different operating states, and can respond to the control request through the second network chip to achieve the switching of the operating state.

[0052] In some embodiments, based on Figure 1A or Figure 1B The controlled device shown in the figure further includes a third network chip, which is capable of establishing a signal connection with the first controller to at least give the control request from the main control device to the first controller, so that the first controller switches the working state of the controlled device, wherein the communication mode of the third network chip is different from the communication mode of the second network chip.

[0053] Here, the third network chip and the second network chip receive network signals in different communication modes, that is, the communication mode of the third network chip is different from the communication mode of the second network chip. For example, the second network chip can be used to receive a second network signal transmitted by a network cable, and the third network chip can be used to receive a third network signal transmitted by a wireless transmission mode. In the case where the second network chip is compatible with the network signal received by the third network chip, only the second network chip can meet the functional requirements. In the case where there is a type of network signal that is different from that which can be processed by the second network chip and the third network chip, a chip that can adapt to the type of newly added network signal can be added to process the network signal. Here, since there are many different types of network signals, they will not be described in detail.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, when there is a network signal that cannot be processed by the second network chip, a third network chip can be added to process the network signal to meet functional requirements.

[0055] A control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0056] Step S210: upon receiving a control request from the master device, determining the working state of the controlled device;

[0057] Step S220: enabling the controlled device to respond to the control request with the first network chip or the second network chip based at least on the working state;

[0058] The first network chip is different from the second network chip, and the second network chip is capable of responding to the control request at least by changing the working state of the controlled device.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, upon receiving a control request from a master device, the operating state of the controlled device is first determined. Then, based at least on the operating state, the controlled device is caused to respond to the control request using either the first network chip or the second network chip. In this way, when the controlled device needs to change its operating state, it can receive a signal from the second network chip to change its operating state. This eliminates the need for a user to directly manipulate the controlled device; the user can change the operating state of the controlled device through the master device, thereby enabling remote startup of the controlled device. This solves the problem in the prior art where remote startup requires the use of a boot stick, which then requires configuration of the boot stick and BIOS, a difficult task for ordinary users. This provides users with a superior user experience.

[0060] In some embodiments, the above step S220 of "enabling the controlled device to respond to the control request using the first network chip or the second network chip based at least on the working state" can be implemented by the following steps:

[0061] Step S221: When the controlled device is in the first working state, respond to the control request through the first network chip;

[0062] Step S223: When the controlled device is in the second working state, respond to the control request through the second network chip so that the controlled device switches from the second working state to the first working state; wherein the power consumption of the controlled device in the first working state is greater than the power consumption in the second working state.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the controlled device receives different network signals through the first network chip or the second network chip in different operating states. When the controlled device is in the second operating state, the second network chip responds to the control request, causing the controlled device to switch from the second operating state to the first operating state. In this way, the controlled device can use different network chips to achieve network communication in different operating states, and can respond to the control request through the second network chip to achieve the switching of the operating state.

[0064] In some embodiments, in the above step S222, "responding to the control request through the second network chip so that the controlled device switches from the second working state to the first working state" can be achieved through the following process: giving the control request to the first controller of the controlled device through the second network chip, so that the first controller responds to the control request to control the controlled device to switch from the second working state to the first working state.

[0065] During the implementation process, if Figure 1A The second network chip 13 can send a control request to the first controller 12, so that the first controller 12 controls the controlled device to switch from the second operating state to the first operating state in response to the control request. For example, if the controlled device is a computer, the first controller 12 can be an EC. In this way, the EC receives the control request sent by the first network chip 13 and controls the computer to switch from a dormant state, a sleep state, a standby state, or a shutdown state to a normal operating state.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, a control request can be given to the first controller of the controlled device through the second network chip, so that the first controller responds to the control request to control the controlled device to switch the working state, thereby realizing the function of remotely controlling the controlled device to switch the working state.

[0067] In some embodiments, the above step S210 of "enabling the controlled device to respond to the control request with a first network chip or a second network chip based at least on the working state, wherein the first network chip is different from the second network chip, and the second network chip is capable of responding to the control request by at least changing the working state of the controlled device" can be implemented by the following process: enabling the controlled device to respond to the control request with the first network chip, the second network chip, or the third network chip based at least on the working state;

[0068] Among them, the first network chip, the second network chip, and the third network chip are different, the second network chip or the third network chip can at least respond to the control request by changing the working state of the controlled device, and the second network chip and the third network chip process different signal types.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, when there is a network signal that cannot be processed by the second network chip, a third network chip can be added to process the network signal to meet functional requirements.

[0070] A control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0071] Step S310: upon receiving a control request from the master device, determining the working state of the controlled device;

[0072] Step S320: enabling the controlled device to respond to the control request using a first network chip or a second network chip based at least on the operating state; wherein the first network chip is different from the second network chip, and the second network chip is capable of responding to the control request by at least changing the operating state of the controlled device;

[0073] Step S330: After the controlled device switches from the second working state to the first working state, the interactive data between the master device and the controlled device is sent and received through the second network chip; or

[0074] After the controlled device switches from the second working state to the first working state, switching back to the first network chip to send and receive interactive data between the master device and the controlled device; or,

[0075] After the controlled device switches from the second working state to the first working state, interactive data between the master device and the controlled device is sent and received via the second network chip and the first network chip.

[0076] In this embodiment of the present application, after the controlled device switches from the second working state to the first working state, the second network chip can be used to transmit and receive interactive data between the master device and the controlled device; or the first network chip can be switched back to transmit and receive interactive data between the master device and the controlled device; or the second network chip and the first network chip can be used to transmit and receive interactive data between the master device and the controlled device. In this way, interactive data between the master device and the controlled device can be transmitted and received via the second network chip and / or the first network chip. If any network chip fails, the other network chip can be switched to for backup, without affecting the normal operation of the controlled device.

[0077] In real-world work scenarios, users may not have their office computers nearby, forcing them to run to the office to get the necessary data or to work overtime to complete the remaining work. In these situations, users urgently need a method to remotely wake up their computers and enable remote work mode. However, current computer designs do not support remote wide area networks. To achieve remote booting, a boot stick must be used, which then requires configuring the boot stick and BIOS settings, making it difficult for ordinary users. Here, the principle of the boot stick is that the local boot stick acts as a server, waking up the network card chip on the motherboard through remote wake-up. The method provided in the application for implementation is to use the network chip in the network cable, combined with a specially designed network port crystal head, and then perform the boot operation through an embedded controller.

[0078] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the architecture of a computer and network cable provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown as follows: Figure 4 As shown,

[0079] The computer includes: a first network chip 11, a first controller 12 and a network interface 16, wherein:

[0080] The first network chip 11 is connected to the network interface 16 of the computer and is used to receive the network signal sent by the main control device when the computer is working normally.

[0081] The first controller 12 is connected to the network interface 16 of the computer and is used to receive a control request sent by the main control device when the computer is shut down or in sleep mode, so as to switch the computer to a working state.

[0082] The network interface 16 interacts with the network interface 17 provided in the network cable to realize data exchange between the computer and the main control device.

[0083] The network cable includes: a second network chip 13, a second controller 14, a line switch 15 and a network interface 17, wherein:

[0084] The second network chip 13 is connected to the second controller, and is used for receiving a control request sent by the controlled device and sending the control request to the second controller when the computer is shut down or in hibernation.

[0085] The second controller 14 uses the network interface 17 to exchange data with the computer device and sends the above control request to the first controller of the computer, so that the computer switches to the working state line switch 15.

[0086] The network interface 17 interacts with the network interface 16 provided in the computer to realize data exchange between the main control device and the computer.

[0087] The following is a method for remotely waking up a computer provided in an embodiment of the present application, comprising the following steps:

[0088] Step S410: The first controller 12 sends the computer status to the second controller 14 in the network cable through the computer's network interface 16;

[0089] Step S420: The second controller 14 of the network cable selects a corresponding network chip based on the computer status received through the network interface 17, and the network chip includes the first network chip 11 and the second network chip 13;

[0090] Step S430: When the second controller 14 determines that the computer is in sleep or shutdown state, the second controller 14 controls the line switch 15 to switch the network line to the second network chip 13 to receive the network signal 2, which is used to wake up the computer;

[0091] Step S440: The second controller 14 receives the network signal 2 processed by the second network chip 13;

[0092] Step S450: The second controller 14 converts the network signal 2 into a wake-up signal and sends it to the network interface 17 of the network cable;

[0093] Step S460: The network interface 16 of the computer receives the wake-up signal and uses the first controller 12 to wake up the power supply;

[0094] Step S470: When the second controller 14 determines that the computer is powered on, the circuit switch 15 is controlled to switch the network circuit to the first network chip 11 to receive the network signal 1, which is a normal network signal for interactive data.

[0095] Step S480 : The computer receives the network signal 1 through the network chip 11 .

[0096] When the computer is operating, network signals pass through first network chip 11, which is used for normal network transmission. When the computer is in sleep or powered off, network signals pass through second network chip 13, which is used to wake the computer. After wakeup, the computer switches back to first network chip 11. In this way, using customized network interfaces 16 and 17, combined with the design of the computer and network cable, remote startup can be effectively achieved.
