[0039] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a device linkage control method according to the first embodiment of the present application, which can be applied to mobile terminals, such as Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0040] Step S10: selecting a first Bluetooth mesh device from a plurality of candidate Bluetooth mesh devices, wherein the first Bluetooth mesh device is configured to perform linkage control on a target mesh device group, the target mesh device group comprising: a second Bluetooth mesh device and a plurality of third Bluetooth mesh devices, the second Bluetooth mesh device being a master device in the target mesh device group;

[0041] The first Bluetooth mesh network device may be a device having a control function in a Bluetooth mesh network. For example, the first Bluetooth mesh network device may be a smart switch.

[0042] The above-mentioned target mesh network device group is a device group that needs to be linked and controlled. The target mesh network device group includes a second Bluetooth mesh network device as a master device and multiple third Bluetooth mesh network devices. The second Bluetooth mesh network device is used to assume the function of forwarding status messages in the target mesh network device group. The multiple third Bluetooth mesh network devices can be locally linked by the second Bluetooth mesh network device.

[0043] Step S12, selecting a target mesh device group from a plurality of candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups;

[0044] For example, the above-mentioned multiple candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups can be multiple device groups in a smart home. A target mesh device group is selected from the multiple candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups. For example, the target mesh device group is a smart light group, including: light 1, light 2, light 3..., light 20, among which light 1 can be pre-designated as the main device in the smart light group.

[0045] Step S14 : Setting the working state of the first Bluetooth mesh device triggers the second Bluetooth mesh device and a plurality of third Bluetooth mesh devices to perform linkage control operations corresponding to the working states.

[0046] For example, when the first Bluetooth mesh network device is a smart switch, the working state of the smart switch includes an on state and an off state, and the working state of the smart switch is used to trigger the linkage control operation of the devices in the smart light group.

[0047] Specifically, by setting the working state of the first Bluetooth mesh device, triggering the second Bluetooth mesh device and multiple third Bluetooth mesh devices to perform linkage control operations corresponding to the working state can be further described in the following embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0048] Based on the above steps S10 to S14, by selecting a first Bluetooth mesh device from multiple candidate Bluetooth mesh devices, the first Bluetooth mesh device is used to perform linkage control on a target mesh device group, the target mesh device group includes: a second Bluetooth mesh device and multiple third Bluetooth mesh devices, the second Bluetooth mesh device is a master device in the target mesh device group, and the target mesh device group is selected from multiple candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups. Finally, by setting the working status of the first Bluetooth mesh device, the second Bluetooth mesh device and the multiple third Bluetooth mesh devices are triggered to perform linkage control operations corresponding to the working status, thereby achieving the purpose of linkage control of devices in the target mesh device group, thereby realizing the technical effect of efficiently setting local linkage for the Bluetooth mesh group, and thus solving the technical problem of poor local linkage of the Bluetooth mesh group in the related art.

[0049] The device linkage control method described in the above embodiment is further introduced below.

[0050] Optionally, the device linkage control method of the above embodiment further includes:

[0051] Step S111 , creating multiple candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups, wherein the multiple candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups are initially empty;

[0052] Step S112 , selecting a plurality of Bluetooth mesh devices for each candidate Bluetooth mesh device group in the plurality of candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups, wherein the plurality of Bluetooth mesh devices belong to the same category;

[0053] In step S113 , the plurality of Bluetooth mesh devices are added to a corresponding candidate Bluetooth mesh device group.

[0054] For example, multiple initially empty candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups are created, including Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3. Multiple Bluetooth mesh devices are selected from Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3, respectively. Specifically, after selection, devices A, B, and C, which belong to the same category, are added to Group 1. Devices D, E, and F, which belong to the same category, are added to Group 2. Devices G, H, and I, which belong to the same category, are added to Group 3.

[0055] Based on the above steps S111 to S113, by creating multiple candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups, selecting multiple Bluetooth mesh devices for each candidate Bluetooth mesh device group in the multiple candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups, and finally adding the multiple Bluetooth mesh devices to the corresponding candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups, the candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups can be quickly configured.

[0056] Optionally, the device linkage control method of the above embodiment further includes: specifying a second Bluetooth mesh device in each candidate Bluetooth mesh device group in multiple candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups, wherein the second Bluetooth mesh device is used to receive a status message reported by the first Bluetooth mesh device and forward the status message to multiple third Bluetooth mesh devices.

[0057] For example, the second Bluetooth mesh device in group 1 is designated as device A, and the third Bluetooth mesh device in group 1 includes device B and device C. Device A can receive the status message reported by the first Bluetooth mesh device and forward the status message to device B and device C.

[0058] Based on the above optional embodiment, by specifying a second Bluetooth mesh device in each of multiple candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups, a master device for each candidate Bluetooth mesh device group to assume a group message forwarding function can be quickly determined.

[0059] Optionally, in step S14, setting the working state of the first Bluetooth mesh device to trigger the second Bluetooth mesh device and the plurality of third Bluetooth mesh devices to perform linkage control operations corresponding to the working states includes:

[0060] By setting a status value corresponding to the working status, the first Bluetooth mesh network device is triggered to report a status message corresponding to the status value to the second Bluetooth mesh network device, and the status message is forwarded to multiple third Bluetooth mesh network devices via the second Bluetooth mesh network device, so that the second Bluetooth mesh network device and the multiple third Bluetooth mesh network devices perform a linkage control operation corresponding to the status message.

[0061] For example, the first Bluetooth mesh network device is a smart switch. By setting the status value corresponding to the working status of the smart switch, the smart switch is triggered to report the status information corresponding to the status value to device A as the master device in group 1, and the status message is forwarded to devices B and C in group 1 via device A, so that devices A, B, and C in group 1 perform the linkage control operation corresponding to the status message.

[0062] Based on the above optional embodiment, by setting the status value corresponding to the working status, the first Bluetooth mesh network device is further triggered to report a status message corresponding to the status value to the second Bluetooth mesh network device, and the status message is forwarded to multiple third Bluetooth mesh network devices via the second Bluetooth mesh network device, so that all devices in the target mesh network device group can finally execute the linkage control operation corresponding to the status message, and local linkage of devices in the target mesh network device group can be quickly realized.

[0063] Optionally, the device linkage control method of the above embodiment further includes: writing multiple linkage rules into the second Bluetooth mesh device, wherein the multiple linkage rules correspond to different candidate Bluetooth mesh devices respectively, and the multiple linkage rules are used to set execution conditions of the status message.

[0064] As an optional implementation, multiple linkage rules are written into the second Bluetooth mesh device in a decentralized manner.

[0065] Optionally, the execution condition is used to determine the corresponding relationship between the state value and the linkage control operation.

[0066] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a device linkage control method according to the second embodiment of the present application, which can be applied to mobile terminals, such as Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0067] Step S201, selecting a first Bluetooth mesh device from a plurality of candidate Bluetooth mesh devices;

[0068] Step S202 , specifying a second Bluetooth mesh device in each candidate Bluetooth mesh device group in a plurality of candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups;

[0069] Step S203 , selecting a target mesh device group from a plurality of candidate Bluetooth mesh device groups;

[0070] Step S204: triggering the first Bluetooth mesh device to report a status message corresponding to the status value to the second Bluetooth mesh device by setting a status value corresponding to the working status;

[0071] Step S205 : forwarding the status message to the plurality of third Bluetooth mesh devices via the second Bluetooth mesh device, so that the second Bluetooth mesh device and the plurality of third Bluetooth mesh devices perform a linkage control operation corresponding to the status message.

[0072] Based on the above steps S201 to S205, the purpose of linkage control of devices in the target mesh network device group is achieved, thereby realizing the technical effect of efficiently setting local linkage for the Bluetooth mesh group, and further solving the technical problem of poor local linkage of the Bluetooth mesh group in the related art.

[0073] Specifically, the device linkage control method in the above embodiment is described using the example of a first Bluetooth mesh device being a smart switch and a target mesh device group being a smart light group. The smart light group includes lights 1, 2, 3, ..., and 20, with light 1 designated as the master device in the smart light group. By setting a status value corresponding to the operating state of the smart switch, the smart switch is triggered to report a status message corresponding to the status value to light 1. This status message is then forwarded via light 1 to lights 2, 3, ..., and 20, causing lights 1, 2, 3, ..., and 20 in the smart light group to execute the linkage control operation corresponding to the status message. For example, by setting a status value corresponding to the off state of the smart switch, the smart switch is triggered to report a status message corresponding to the status value to light 1. This status message is then forwarded via light 1 to lights 2, 3, ..., and 20, causing lights 1, 2, 3, ..., and 20 in the smart light group to execute the off operation. For another example, set the status value corresponding to the smart switch being in the on state, trigger the smart switch to report the status message corresponding to the status value to lamp 1, and forward the status message to lamp 2, lamp 3,..., lamp 20 via lamp 1, so that lamp 1, lamp 2, lamp 3..., lamp 20 in the smart lamp group perform the turn-on operation.

[0074] Figure 3 is a flow chart of another device linkage control method according to the third embodiment of the present application, which can be applied to a second Bluetooth mesh device, such as Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0075] Step S30: receiving a status message reported by the first Bluetooth mesh device, wherein the first Bluetooth mesh device is used to perform linkage control on a target mesh device group, and the status message is used to indicate an operating status of the first Bluetooth mesh device. The target mesh device group includes: a second Bluetooth mesh device and a plurality of third Bluetooth mesh devices, and the second Bluetooth mesh device is a master device in the target mesh device group.

[0076] The first Bluetooth mesh network device may be a device having a control function in a Bluetooth mesh network.

[0077] For example, when the first Bluetooth mesh network device is a smart switch, the working state of the smart switch includes an on state and an off state, and the working state of the smart switch is used to trigger the linkage control operation of the devices in the smart light group.

[0078] The above-mentioned target mesh network device group is a device group that needs to be linked and controlled. The target mesh network device group includes a second Bluetooth mesh network device as a master device and multiple third Bluetooth mesh network devices. The second Bluetooth mesh network device is used to assume the function of forwarding status messages in the target mesh network device group. The multiple third Bluetooth mesh network devices can be locally linked by the second Bluetooth mesh network device.

[0079] Step S32 : Based on the status message, executing a linkage control operation corresponding to the working status on the second Bluetooth mesh device, and triggering multiple third Bluetooth mesh devices to execute linkage control operations corresponding to the working status.

[0080] Specifically, based on the status message, the implementation process of performing the linkage control operation corresponding to the working status on the second Bluetooth mesh network device, and triggering multiple third Bluetooth mesh network devices to perform the linkage control operation corresponding to the working status can refer to the further introduction of the embodiments of the present application and will not be repeated here.

[0081] Based on the above steps S30 to S32, by receiving the status message reported by the first Bluetooth mesh device, the first Bluetooth mesh device is used to perform linkage control on the target mesh device group, where the status message is used to indicate the working status of the first Bluetooth mesh device, and the target mesh device group includes: a second Bluetooth mesh device and multiple third Bluetooth mesh devices, and the second Bluetooth mesh device is the master device in the target mesh device group; then, based on the status message, a linkage control operation corresponding to the working status is performed on the second Bluetooth mesh device, and the multiple third Bluetooth mesh devices are triggered to perform the linkage control operation corresponding to the working status, thereby achieving the purpose of linkage control of the devices in the target mesh device group, thereby realizing the technical effect of efficiently setting local linkage for the Bluetooth mesh group, and thus solving the technical problem of poor local linkage of the Bluetooth mesh group in the related art.

[0082] The device linkage control method described in the above embodiment is further introduced below.

[0083] Optionally, the device linkage control method of the above embodiment further includes:

[0084] Step S31 : Acquire multiple linkage rules, wherein the multiple linkage rules correspond to different candidate Bluetooth mesh devices, and the multiple linkage rules are used to set execution conditions of the status message.

[0085] Optionally, the execution condition is used to determine a corresponding relationship between a state value corresponding to the working state and the linkage control operation.

[0086] Optionally, in step S32, based on the status message, executing a linkage control operation corresponding to the working status on the second Bluetooth mesh device includes:

[0087] Step S321, determining whether the multiple linkage rules include a target linkage rule corresponding to the first Bluetooth mesh device;

[0088] Step S322: When it is determined that the target linkage rule is included in the multiple linkage rules, an execution condition of the status message is obtained from the target linkage rule;

[0089] Step S323: Execute a linkage control operation corresponding to the working state on the second Bluetooth mesh device according to the execution condition.

[0090] For example, a smart light group includes lights 1, 2, 3, ..., and 20, with light 1 designated as the master device. After receiving status information from the smart switch, light 1 determines whether multiple linkage rules include the target linkage rule corresponding to the smart switch. If the target linkage rule is included, it retrieves the execution condition of the status message from the target linkage rule and, based on the execution condition, executes the linkage control operation corresponding to the operating state on light 1, such as turning it on or off.

[0091] Based on the above steps S321 to S323, after determining whether multiple linkage rules include the target linkage rule corresponding to the first Bluetooth mesh network device, when it is determined that the target linkage rule is included in the multiple linkage rules, the execution condition of the status message is obtained from the target linkage rule, and then according to the execution condition, the linkage control operation corresponding to the working status is performed on the second Bluetooth mesh network device, which can realize local linkage of the devices according to the preset linkage rules, and further ensure the accuracy of the linkage control operation.

[0092] Optionally, in step S32, based on the status message, executing a linkage control operation corresponding to the working status on the second Bluetooth mesh device includes:

[0093] Step S324, determining whether the multiple linkage rules include a target linkage rule corresponding to the first Bluetooth mesh device;

[0094] Step S325 : When it is determined that the target linkage rule is not included in the multiple linkage rules, the status message is forwarded and the linkage control operation corresponding to the working status is refused to be executed.

[0095] Based on the above steps S324 to S325, by judging whether the target linkage rule corresponding to the first Bluetooth mesh network device is included in the multiple linkage rules, when it is determined that the target linkage rule is not included in the multiple linkage rules, the status message is forwarded and the linkage control operation corresponding to the working status is refused to be executed. When the target linkage rule is not included, the linkage control operation corresponding to the working status can be refused to be executed, and only the status message is forwarded, thereby ensuring that the device containing the target linkage rule can quickly receive the corresponding status message, further improving the efficiency of local linkage control.

[0096] Optionally, in step S32, based on the status message, triggering multiple third Bluetooth mesh network devices to perform linkage control operations corresponding to the working status includes: based on the identity of the master device, forwarding the status message to the multiple third Bluetooth mesh network devices to trigger the multiple third Bluetooth mesh network devices to perform linkage control operations corresponding to the working status when determining that the status message belongs to a message forwarded within the target mesh network device group.

[0097] Figure 4 is a flow chart of a device linkage control method according to the fourth embodiment of the present application, which can be applied to a second Bluetooth mesh device, such as Figure 4 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0098] Step S401: receiving a status message reported by a first Bluetooth mesh device;

[0099] Step S402: Acquire multiple linkage rules, wherein the multiple linkage rules correspond to different candidate Bluetooth mesh devices, and the multiple linkage rules are used to set execution conditions for the status message;

[0100] Step S403, determining whether the multiple linkage rules include a target linkage rule corresponding to the first Bluetooth mesh device;

[0101] Step S404: when it is determined that the target linkage rule is included in the multiple linkage rules, an execution condition of the status message is obtained from the target linkage rule;

[0102] Step S405: executing a linkage control operation corresponding to the working state on the second Bluetooth mesh device according to the execution condition;

[0103] Step S406 , forwarding the status message to the plurality of third Bluetooth mesh devices based on the identity of the master device, so as to trigger the plurality of third Bluetooth mesh devices to perform a linkage control operation corresponding to the working status when determining that the status message belongs to a message forwarded within the target mesh device group;

[0104] Step S407: When it is determined that the target linkage rule is not included in the multiple linkage rules, the status message is forwarded and the linkage control operation corresponding to the working status is refused to be executed.

[0105] Based on the above steps S401 to S407, the purpose of linkage control of devices in the target mesh network device group is achieved, thereby realizing the technical effect of efficiently setting local linkage for the Bluetooth mesh group, and further solving the technical problem of poor local linkage of the Bluetooth mesh group in the related art.

[0106] Specifically, the device linkage control method in the above embodiment will be described using the example of a first Bluetooth mesh device being a smart switch and a target mesh device group being a smart light group. The smart light group includes lights 1, 2, 3, ..., and 20, with light 1 designated as the master device in the smart light group. For example, light 1 receives a shutdown status message from the smart switch. Light 1 retrieves multiple linkage rules and determines whether the multiple linkage rules include the target linkage rule corresponding to the smart switch. If light 1 determines that the multiple linkage rules include the target linkage rule, it retrieves the execution conditions for the shutdown status message from the target linkage rule and executes a shutdown operation on light 1 according to the execution conditions. Based on its master status, light 1 forwards the status message to lights 2, 3, ..., and 20, triggering lights 2, 3, ..., and 20 to execute the shutdown operation upon determining that the shutdown status message is forwarded within the smart light group. This allows light 1 to be turned off through the smart switch, and further enables local linkage control of lights 2, 3, ..., and 20. When lamp 1 determines that the target linkage rule is not included in the multiple linkage rules, it forwards the shutdown status message and refuses to perform the shutdown operation.

[0107] For another example, lamp 1 receives an on-state message reported by a smart switch. Lamp 1 obtains multiple linkage rules and determines whether the target linkage rule corresponding to the smart switch is included in the multiple linkage rules. When lamp 1 determines that the target linkage rule is included in the multiple linkage rules, it obtains the execution condition of the on-state message from the target linkage rule and performs the on-state operation on lamp 1 according to the execution condition. Based on the identity of the master device, lamp 1 forwards the status message to lamps 2, 3..., and 20 to trigger lamps 2, 3..., and 20 to perform the on-state operation when they determine that the on-state message belongs to a message forwarded within the smart lamp group, thereby realizing the control of lamp 1 to turn on through the smart switch, and then locally controlling lamps 2, 3..., and 20 to turn on. When lamp 1 determines that the target linkage rule is not included in the multiple linkage rules, it forwards the on-state message and refuses to perform the on-state operation.
