[0047] The following describes some of the various embodiments of the present invention, which are intended to provide a basic understanding of the present invention, but are not intended to identify the key or decisive elements of the present invention or to limit the scope of protection.

[0048] For the purpose of brevity and illustration, the principles of the present invention are described herein mainly with reference to its exemplary embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that the same principles are equally applicable to all types of terminal control methods and terminal control devices based on UWB implementation and these same principles can be implemented therein, and any such changes do not deviate from the true spirit and scope of the present patent application.

[0049] Moreover, in the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate specific exemplary embodiments. Electrical, mechanical, logical and structural changes may be made to these embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. In addition, although the features of the present invention are disclosed in conjunction with only one of several implementations / embodiments, this feature may be combined with one or more other features of other implementations / embodiments as may be desirable and / or advantageous for any given or identifiable function. Therefore, the following description should not be regarded as limiting, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0050] Terms such as “having” and “including” indicate that in addition to the units (modules) and steps directly and explicitly stated in the specification and claims, the technical solution of the present invention does not exclude the situation where it has other units (modules) and steps that are not directly or explicitly stated.

[0051] Terms such as "operation" can be achieved by users directly performing behavioral actions on terminal devices such as mobile phones, such as users clicking corresponding buttons in the application interface, or realizing the behavioral action intention through keyboards, touchpads, etc.; they can also be achieved through logical programming instructions, such as transmitting instruction codes that realize the behavioral action intention to terminal devices such as mobile phones through local computers or remote computers.

[0052] In the technology known to the inventor, the method of using smart home terminals is generally to install the corresponding APP on the mobile phone, such as Xiaomi Mijia, Huawei Smart Life, etc., and pair with terminals such as speakers, TVs, and purifiers through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. to control them. There are still some problems in the use and control of these home terminals: for example, when the user changes the mobile phone, the control information of these home terminals needs to be reconfigured, or the control information of the home terminals on his mobile phone is expected to be transferred to the mobile phone of others.

[0053] UWB ultra-wideband technology achieves transmission by sending and receiving extremely narrow pulses with a duration of nanoseconds or microseconds or less. It has the advantages of strong penetration, low power consumption, good anti-multipath effect, high security, low system complexity, and the ability to provide precise positioning accuracy. Currently, the main application of UWB is concentrated in indoor positioning.

[0054] The terminal control method based on UWB provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure utilizes the precise positioning function of UWB to implement direction positioning to clearly point to the object of operation, thereby realizing the transfer of pairing relationship or pairing connection between terminals.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a terminal control method based on UWB is provided, which mainly includes:

[0056] Step S100: In response to a first operation, specifying a transfer target of pairing control information;

[0057] Step S200: In response to a second operation, specifying a transfer destination of the pairing control information; and

[0058] Step S300: Transferring the pairing control information based on the transfer object and the transfer destination.

[0059] In one example, the UWB-based terminal control method of the present invention is used to transfer pairing control information between a first mobile terminal and a home terminal to a second mobile terminal, wherein the first mobile terminal, the second mobile terminal and the home terminal respectively include UWB modules.

[0060] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the mobile terminal includes but is not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a laptop computer, etc.

[0061] In this example, in step S100, in response to receiving a first operation on the first mobile terminal, the pairing control information between the first mobile terminal and the home terminal is designated as a transfer object. In step S200, in response to receiving a second operation on the first mobile terminal, the transfer destination of the pairing control information between the first mobile terminal and the home terminal is designated as a second mobile terminal. In step S300, the pairing control information between the first mobile terminal and the home terminal is transferred from the first mobile terminal to the second mobile terminal.

[0062] The first operation is a first pointing operation in which the first mobile terminal points to the direction of the home terminal, and the first pointing operation is determined by using the UWB module of the first mobile terminal and the UWB module of the home terminal. In addition, the second operation is a second pointing operation in which the first mobile terminal points to the direction of the second mobile terminal, and the second pointing operation is determined by using the UWB module of the first mobile terminal and the UWB module of the second mobile terminal.

[0063] In this way, according to the terminal control method based on UWB implemented in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the pairing control information between the first mobile terminal and the home terminal can be transferred to the second mobile terminal.

[0064] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a terminal control method based on UWB is provided, and a pairing connection between a first home terminal and a second home terminal is established through a mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal, the first home terminal and the second home terminal respectively include a UWB module.

[0065] The provided UWB-based terminal control method includes:

[0066] In step S101, in response to receiving a first operation on a mobile terminal, a first home terminal is designated as a party of a pairing connection.

[0067] Step S201: In response to receiving a second operation on the mobile terminal, the second home terminal is designated as the other party of the pairing connection.

[0068] Step S301: the mobile terminal sends pairing control information of the first home terminal to the second home terminal.

[0069] In this example, the first operation is a first pointing operation in which the mobile terminal points to the direction of the first home terminal, and the first pointing operation is determined by using the UWB module of the mobile terminal and the UWB module of the first home terminal. The second operation is a second pointing operation in which the mobile terminal points to the direction of the second home terminal, and the second pointing operation is determined by using the UWB module of the mobile terminal and the UWB module of the second home terminal.

[0070] In this way, according to the terminal control method based on UWB of the present invention, the pairing control information of the first home terminal can be transferred to the second home terminal by using the mobile terminal.

[0071] The following describes a specific implementation of the terminal control method based on UWB of the present invention.

[0072] Figure 3 It is a flowchart of a terminal control method based on UWB according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0073] The terminal control method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure utilizes UWB's ability to accurately locate at a short distance and its ability to transmit information with load, that is, UWB has an effective communication distance of about 10m and an information transmission capacity of 128k / 6.8Mbps. Generally, in a user's home environment, a distance of 10m or less can be defaulted to a family or home application. Based on such considerations, a first embodiment of a terminal control method based on UWB is proposed.

[0074] The terminal control method based on UWB provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is used to transfer pairing control information from a first mobile terminal to a second mobile terminal, wherein the first mobile terminal has completed pairing with a home terminal, and the pairing control information refers to pairing control information that the first mobile terminal and the home terminal have completed pairing. Moreover, both the first mobile terminal and the second mobile terminal have UWB modules, and the home terminal also has a UWB module.

[0075] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a terminal control method implemented based on UWB is used to transfer pairing control information between a first mobile terminal and a home terminal A to a second mobile terminal. The method includes the following steps:

[0076] Step S1: Point the first mobile terminal to (align with) the home terminal A to which pairing control information needs to be transmitted;

[0077] Step S2: an option pops up on the UI interface of the first mobile terminal, the option including, for example, a button or an icon or a function box, for indicating that the user of the first mobile terminal can click on the option to enter the transmission action of pairing control information with the home terminal A to other terminals;

[0078] Step S3: After the user selects a button, icon or function box that pops up on the UI interface, the UI interface prompts the user to point the first mobile terminal to the second mobile terminal that is the destination of the pairing control relationship transfer;

[0079] Step S4: When the first mobile terminal is pointing to the second mobile terminal, the pairing control information with the home terminal A is transmitted from the first mobile terminal to the second mobile terminal;

[0080] Step S5: After determining that the transmission of the pairing control information is completed, a message indicating that the pairing with the home terminal A is successful pops up on the second mobile terminal.

[0081] In some embodiments, step S4 includes, first, determining, through the UWB module of the first mobile terminal, the second mobile terminal in the direction pointed by the user holding the first mobile terminal at this time, and if there are multiple terminals in the direction at the same time, the UWB module can be used to select the second mobile terminal that is closest to the first mobile terminal 1, or the user of the first mobile terminal can manually select the second mobile terminal to send pairing control information through a UI pop-up window on the first mobile terminal. After the second mobile terminal is determined, a communication connection can be established between the first mobile terminal and the second mobile terminal through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee or UWB module, and the pairing control information with the home terminal A is transmitted from the first mobile terminal to the second mobile terminal.

[0082] In some embodiments, the option of step S2 may not be set. It may be set so that the user quickly points the first mobile terminal to the second mobile terminal within a certain period of time after pointing the first mobile terminal to the home terminal A. For example, a time threshold is set, such as within 5 seconds. This "pointing transfer behavior" of transferring from the direction pointing to the home terminal A to the direction pointing to the second mobile terminal can be regarded as an intention to transfer the pairing control relationship.

[0083] In some embodiments, step S4 can be set to transmit information after pointing without popping up the corresponding option. By pointing the first mobile terminal to the home terminal A and then quickly pointing it to the second mobile terminal, the pairing control information with the home terminal A can be quickly and conveniently transmitted from the first mobile terminal to the second mobile terminal by using the "pointing transfer behavior", and the possibility of misoperation in this case is also relatively low.

[0084] The terminal control method based on UWB provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to the following scenarios: when the user needs to authorize other mobile phones to control the device terminal function, such as changing to a new mobile phone, or configuring the function of controlling the home terminal for other family members (such as the elderly). Especially for the elderly at home, it is very troublesome for them to learn how to control the home terminal with a mobile phone. The terminal control method based on UWB provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can greatly simplify such configuration operations.

[0085] Figure 4 It is a structural block diagram of a terminal control device based on UWB provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0086] like Figure 4 As shown, the terminal control device based on UWB provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to a first mobile terminal and is used to transfer the pairing control information between the first mobile terminal and the home terminal to a second mobile terminal, wherein the first mobile terminal, the second mobile terminal and the home terminal are respectively equipped with a UWB module. Specifically, the terminal control device can be presented as an application module in the first mobile terminal.

[0087] The terminal control device based on UWB provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0088] A first designation module 100 is used to receive a first operation on the first mobile terminal to designate pairing control information of the first mobile terminal and the home terminal as a transfer object;

[0089] A second designation module 200 is configured to receive a second operation on the first mobile terminal to designate a second mobile terminal as a transfer destination of the pairing control information between the first mobile terminal and the home terminal; and

[0090] The information transfer module 300 is used to transfer the pairing control information of the first mobile terminal and the home terminal from the first mobile terminal to the second mobile terminal.

[0091] The first operation is a first pointing operation in which the first mobile terminal points to the direction of the home terminal, and the first pointing operation is determined by using the UWB module of the first mobile terminal and the UWB module of the home terminal. The second operation is a second pointing operation in which the first mobile terminal points to the direction of the second mobile terminal, and the second pointing operation is determined by using the UWB module of the first mobile terminal and the UWB module of the second mobile terminal.

[0092] In some embodiments, when there are multiple terminals in the direction in which the first mobile terminal is pointing to the second mobile terminal, the second designation module 200 takes the terminal closest to the first mobile terminal as the second mobile terminal.

[0093] In some embodiments, the information transfer module 300 transmits the pairing control information of the first mobile terminal and the home terminal to the second mobile terminal via a short-distance communication method, wherein the short-distance communication method includes: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee and UWB.

[0094] As described above, the UWB-based terminal control system and device provided in accordance with the embodiments of the present disclosure can simplify the pairing and connection operations between the mobile terminal and the home terminal, facilitate users to use the mobile terminal to manage the home terminal, and improve the user experience.

[0095] like Figure 5 As shown, the process of the terminal control method based on UWB provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, which is used to use a mobile terminal to achieve pairing of a home terminal A and a home terminal B, wherein the mobile terminal, the home terminal A and the home terminal B all have UWB modules.

[0096] like Figure 5 As shown, the terminal control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps:

[0097] Step S11: pointing (aiming) the mobile terminal at the home terminal A;

[0098] Step S12: turning the pointing (aiming) direction of the mobile terminal from the home terminal A to the home terminal B. This behavior is defined as the behavior of the home terminal A initiating pairing with the home terminal B.

[0099] Step S13: a pop-up window UI may be provided so that the user can select and confirm the transmission of the above pairing behavior.

[0100] In some embodiments, step S13 may be omitted (no pop-up window UI may be provided). To avoid misoperation, a time threshold may be set for the operation behavior of step S12. For example, within 5 seconds, if the pointing (aiming) direction of the mobile terminal is turned from home terminal A to home terminal B, it is considered as the intention of the above pairing behavior;

[0101] Step S14: sending the pairing control information of the home terminal A to B in the home, and the home terminal B is paired with the home terminal A according to the pairing control information obtained from the mobile terminal; and

[0102] Step S15: Home terminal A or B sends a message indicating successful pairing.

[0103] The terminal control method based on UWB provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first function of the mobile terminal, home terminal A and home terminal B having UWB modules is to confirm the home terminal A and home terminal B that the user wants to interconnect through precise positioning and ranging capabilities; the second function is to transmit the operating capabilities and application information of the home terminal A and home terminal B to each other through data transmission capabilities. Of course, this part of the function can also be implemented using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

[0104] In some embodiments, in order to avoid initiating invalid operations between home terminals that are not interconnected, such as a sweeping robot and an air conditioner, a smart thermometer and electric curtains, etc., a matching list of home terminals can be pre-set and maintained in the mobile terminal (for example, ABC... etc. represents the pairing relationship between home terminals such as A, B, C, etc.). When the user points the mobile terminal to different home terminals, it can be filtered from the list and invalid operations can be ignored.

[0105] In some embodiments, in step S15, for example, for a home terminal with a screen or display capability, such as a TV with a complete display screen, a speaker usually has an LED display array, after the pairing is successful, the successful connection between home terminal A and home terminal B can be indicated in text or in LED color.

[0106] In some embodiments, in step S15, for example, for home terminals such as smart thermometers that can usually only be viewed and managed in an APP, a sound, such as a beep, can be used to prompt that home terminal A and home terminal B are successfully connected; or a behavior, such as vibration, can be used to prompt that home terminal A and home terminal B are successfully connected.

[0107] It is easy to understand that the above prompting method can also be used to prompt that the home terminal A and the home terminal B fail to connect.

[0108] The terminal control method based on UWB provided by the disclosed embodiment can be used to solve the problems existing in the following application scenarios: it is easy to pair a mobile phone with a smart speaker, smart TV, etc. This is often because the mobile phone can install the corresponding APP of the corresponding smart home terminal, which can be quickly paired and connected, but it is relatively troublesome to pair a smart TV with a smart speaker. The operating system (OS) of the TV, such as the Android TV operating system, is closed in operation and the speaker manufacturers usually do not provide supporting APPs on Android TV. When connecting a TV to a speaker, it is necessary to hold a remote control and repeatedly click and input, which is very cumbersome. For smart home terminals without screens, such as thermometers and air conditioners, it is necessary to use a mobile phone APP (such as Mijia) to click and set the interface to enable the two to be linked, which is cumbersome.

[0109] By using the UWB-based terminal control method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to conveniently use a mobile terminal to achieve pairing connection between device terminal A and device terminal B.

[0110] Figure 6 The structural block diagram of the terminal control device based on UWB provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The terminal control device based on UWB provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to a mobile terminal and a pairing connection between a first home terminal and a second home terminal is established through the mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal, the first home terminal and the second home terminal are respectively equipped with a UWB module. The terminal control device can be presented as an application module in the mobile terminal.

[0111] like Figure 6 As shown, the terminal control device based on UWB provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0112] A first designation module 400 is used to receive a first operation on the mobile terminal to designate the first home terminal as a paired connection object;

[0113] A second designation module 500 is used to receive a second operation on the mobile terminal to designate the second home terminal as the other party of the pairing connection;

[0114] a pairing determination module 600, configured to determine whether the first home terminal designated by the first designation module 400 and the second home terminal designated by the second designation module 500 meet the pairing relationship between the home terminals pre-set in the mobile terminal, and continue to execute the actions of the following information transfer module only if the pairing relationship is met; and

[0115] The information transfer module 700 is used to send the pairing control information of the first home terminal to the second home terminal.

[0116] The first operation is a first pointing operation in which the mobile terminal points to the direction of the first home terminal, and the first pointing operation is determined by using the UWB module of the mobile terminal and the UWB module of the first home terminal. The second operation is a second pointing operation in which the mobile terminal points to the direction of the second home terminal, and the second pointing operation is determined by using the UWB module of the mobile terminal and the UWB module of the second home terminal.

[0117] In the information transfer module 700, the pairing control information of the first home terminal is sent to the second home terminal via a short-distance communication method, wherein the short-distance communication method includes: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee and UWB.

[0122] The processor 820 may be a logic operation device with data processing capability and / or program execution capability, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a field programmable logic array (FPGA), a single chip microcomputer (MCU), a digital signal processor (DSP), or an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
