[0021] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0023] According to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a linkage control method for a smart device is provided. Optionally, as Figure 1 As shown, the above method includes:

[0024] S102, determining the device status of the target smart device;

[0025] S104, determining a first smart device group bound to the target smart device;

[0026] S106, determining a second smart device group from the first smart device group based on the device status and a target status for each smart device in the second smart device group;

[0027] S108: Control each smart device in the second smart device group to transition from a current state to a target state.

[0028] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target smart device may be a smart air conditioner, and the first smart device group may be one or more smart windows, smart doors, etc. To achieve faster cooling or heating effects when a user uses the target smart device to rapidly cool or heat the indoor environment where the smart device is located, the smart doors and smart windows in the indoor environment are pre-bound to the smart device. When the target smart device is in the on state, the smart devices in the first smart device group that are in the on state are added to the second smart device group, and the target state is set to off. Each smart device is then switched from the on state to the off state. When the target smart device is in the off state, the target state of the smart devices in the second smart device group that are in the off state is set to on, and each smart device is switched from the off state to the on state. For example, if smart door 1, smart window 1, and smart window 2 are bound to smart air conditioner 1, when the user turns on smart air conditioner 1, the smart door 1 in the open state among smart doors 1, smart windows 1, and smart windows 2 is retrieved and simultaneously closed. When the user turns off smart air conditioner 1, smart door 1 is then switched on.

[0029] By controlling the smart devices that are bound to the target smart device and are in the turned-on state to be switched to the turned-off state when the target smart device is turned on, and controlling the smart devices that are bound to the target smart device and are in the turned-off state to be switched to the turned-on state when the target smart device is turned off, linkage control between smart devices is achieved, and the convenience and comfort of user use are improved, thereby solving the technical problem that when a smart device is working, other smart devices need to be manually turned off or on, which reduces the user experience.

[0030] As an optional example, determining the target state of the second smart device group and each smart device in the second smart device group from the first smart device group according to the device state includes:

[0031] When the device state is the power-on state, determining a second smart device group from the first smart device group, wherein each smart device in the second smart device group is in the power-on state;

[0032] Determine the target state as closed;

[0033] Controlling each smart device in the second smart device group to switch from a current state to a target state includes sending a first control signal to each smart device in the second smart device group to switch each smart device in the second smart device group from an on state to an off state.

[0034] Optionally, in this embodiment, when a user turns on a target smart device, the device state of each smart device in the first smart device group is determined. If the device is in the on state, the device is added to the second smart device group, and the target state is determined to be off. A first control signal is sent to each smart device in the second smart device group, and the first control signal controls each smart device in the second smart device group to switch from the on state to the off state. To prevent errors in determining the on state due to the user quickly turning a smart device on and off, the device state of the smart device is determined after a first period of time after the target smart device is turned on. The first period of time can be 5 seconds or 6 seconds. The device state of the smart device can be determined by comparing the duration of the on state with the duration of the off state within the first period of time. If the duration of the on state within the first period of time is greater than or equal to the duration of the off state, the state of the smart device is determined to be on. If the duration of the on state within the first period of time is less than the duration of the off state, the state of the smart device is determined to be off. The above operation is performed for each smart device to obtain the state of each smart device, and all smart devices in the on state are added to the second smart device group.

[0035] As an optional example, determining the target state of the second smart device group and each smart device in the second smart device group from the first smart device group according to the device state includes:

[0036] When the device state is the shutdown state, determining a second smart device group from the first smart device group;

[0037] Determine a third smart device group from the second smart device group, wherein the smart devices in the third smart device group are the smart devices in the second smart device group whose states have not changed since being switched to the off state;

[0038] Determine the target state as the on state;

[0039] Controlling each smart device in the second smart device group to switch from a current state to a target state includes sending a second control signal to each smart device in the third smart device group to switch each smart device in the third smart device group from an off state to an on state.

[0040] Optionally, in this embodiment, after the target smart device is powered on, all smart devices that were previously powered off can be manually powered on again by the user. If manually powered on again, they are no longer controlled by the target smart device, but can be controlled by the target smart device again through user settings. When the target smart device is powered off, smart devices in the second smart device group that have not been manually powered on by the user are identified and assigned to a third smart device group. A second control signal is sent to each smart device in the third smart device group, and each smart device in the third smart device group is controlled by the second control signal to switch from an on state to an off state.

[0041] Optionally, in this embodiment, before controlling each smart device in the third smart device group to switch from the on state to the off state, the surrounding weather at the current time, or the outdoor ambient temperature, can also be obtained, and whether to turn on the smart device can be selected based on the Sunday weather and the outdoor ambient temperature. For example, in thunderstorms or when the outdoor ambient temperature is too low, each smart device remains in the off state.

[0042] As an optional example, determining the third smart device group from the second smart device group includes:

[0043] Set each smart device in the second smart device group as the current smart device and perform the following operations on the current smart device:

[0044] Determine whether the state of the current smart device changes after being switched to the off state;

[0045] When the state of the current smart device remains in the off state and does not change, the current smart device is added to the third smart device group.

[0046] Optionally, in this embodiment, when determining the third smart device group from the second smart device group, it is determined whether the state of each smart device in the second smart device group has been manually changed by the user after being converted to the off state by the first control signal. If not, it is added to the third smart device group. If so, it is no longer controlled by the target smart device and needs to be added to the third smart device group through manual settings by the user.

[0047] As an optional example, when the target smart device is a smart air conditioner and the second smart device group is a smart window or a smart door, after determining the second smart device group from the first smart device group, the method further includes:

[0048] determining the number of smart devices in the second smart device group;

[0049] Determine the indoor ambient temperature, outdoor ambient temperature, and operating mode of the target smart device, where the operating mode is cooling mode or heating mode;

[0050] Calculate the target frequency of the compressor of the target smart device based on the quantity, indoor ambient temperature, outdoor ambient temperature and operation mode;

[0051] The compressor of the target smart device is controlled to operate at the target frequency.

[0052] Optionally, in this embodiment, after the smart air conditioner is turned on, the number of smart devices in the second smart device group, the indoor ambient temperature of the target smart device, the outdoor ambient temperature, and the operating mode of the target smart device are determined, and the most suitable target frequency of the compressor is calculated based on the above data, wherein the most suitable calculation method can be determined through experimental testing.

[0053] As an optional example, after determining the indoor ambient temperature, outdoor ambient temperature, and operating mode of the target smart device, the method further includes:

[0054] Calculate the target speed of the outdoor fan of the target smart device based on the quantity, indoor ambient temperature, outdoor ambient temperature, and operating mode;

[0055] Control the external fan of the target intelligent device to run at the target speed.

[0056] Optionally, in this embodiment, optionally, in this embodiment, after the target smart device is turned on, the number of smart devices in the second smart device group, the indoor ambient temperature of the target smart device, the outdoor ambient temperature, and the operating mode of the target smart device are determined, and the most suitable target speed of the external fan is calculated based on the above data, wherein the most suitable calculation method can be determined through experimental testing.

[0057] As an optional example, after determining the indoor ambient temperature, outdoor ambient temperature, and operating mode of the target smart device, the method further includes:

[0058] When the wind speed of the internal fan of the target smart device has not been selected, the target wind speed of the internal fan is calculated based on the quantity, indoor ambient temperature, outdoor ambient temperature and operation mode;

[0059] Control the internal fan to run at the target wind speed.

[0060] Optionally, in this embodiment, optionally, in this embodiment, optionally, in this embodiment, after the target smart device is turned on, the number of smart devices in the second smart device group, the indoor ambient temperature of the target smart device, the outdoor ambient temperature, and the operating mode of the target smart device are determined, and the most suitable target windshield of the internal fan is calculated based on the above data, wherein the most suitable calculation method can be determined through experimental testing.

[0061] This application relates to a method for controlling the linkage between air conditioners and smart doors and windows. Figure 2 、 3 As shown, when the air conditioner starts, it sends a power-on signal to the linked smart doors and windows. Upon receiving the power-on signal, the linked smart doors and windows automatically close. Smart doors and windows have control modes that receive and send specific signals and control the opening and closing of doors and windows. Smart doors and windows linked to the air conditioner are only controlled by the power-on signal when the air conditioner is on. After the air conditioner starts, if the user changes the open or closed state of one or more smart doors or windows through other means, these smart doors or windows will no longer be affected by the air conditioner's operation. The user can restore linked control with the air conditioner by resetting the settings.

[0062] Optionally, in this embodiment, the reason why the smart doors and windows return to their original state after the air conditioner is turned off is to respect the user's living habits. If the doors and windows were open before the air conditioner was turned on, they will remain open after the air conditioner is turned off. If the doors and windows were closed before the air conditioner was turned on during a thunderstorm, they will remain closed after the air conditioner is turned off.

[0063] Optionally, in this embodiment, the user can configure whether the air conditioner is linked to the smart doors and windows at any time, and can configure some or all smart doors and windows to be linked to the air conditioner. If the user sets linkage control, only the smart doors and windows linked to the air conditioner will be controlled by the air conditioner's power on and off signals; during this process, the user can freely change the open and close status of the smart doors and windows at any time through other means. If the user sets linkage control not to be configured, the smart doors or windows will not be controlled by the air conditioner's power on and off signals.

[0064] 1. Conditions for entering the "smart home joint adjustment mode":

[0065] Smart doors and windows linked to the air conditioner transmit their open and closed status to the air conditioner in real time. The air conditioner receives this status in real time during operation and keeps track of it. When a smart door or window remains open for time t1, the air conditioner considers it open. When a smart door or window remains closed for time t2, the air conditioner considers it closed. The air conditioner counts the number of open smart doors and windows in real time. If at least one smart door or window is open, the air conditioner enters "Smart Home Linkage Adjustment Mode."

[0066] Note: The reason for setting the maintenance time t1 and t2 is that users often open doors and windows quickly at home. If users quickly open the doors and windows and then close them again within a short time, it will not affect the indoor ambient temperature. In this case, for air conditioning control, it can be considered that the smart doors and windows are always closed.

[0067] 2. Conditions for exiting the "Smart Home Joint Adjustment Mode":

[0068] When the air conditioner is executing the "smart home joint adjustment mode", if it is determined that the number of smart doors and windows in the open state is 0, that is, all the smart doors and windows linked to the air conditioner are in the closed state, the "smart home joint adjustment mode" will be exited.

[0069] 3. Control logic of “smart home joint adjustment mode”:

[0070] a. Compressor frequency control method: After entering the "Smart Home Joint Adjustment Mode", the compressor frequency is increased by △F based on the current frequency. Note: The increased frequency cannot be higher than the maximum allowable frequency of the compressor.

[0071] The calculation formula for △F is: △F=F1+n*F2.

[0072] Among them, F1 is a constant that can be an integer or a decimal, with no specific range of values. The value of F1 is related to the temperature difference △T. Table 1 shows the calculation method of the temperature difference △T. The inner circle of T in Table 1 is the indoor ambient temperature, and T is set to the temperature set by the user. Table 2 shows examples of F1 values. Different models can have different F1 values ​​and different temperature difference △T segments. For the same model, the optimal F1 can be obtained based on experimental testing, or the optimal value of the change can be obtained based on an intelligent algorithm combined with more environmental parameters (such as indoor space size, number of indoor occupants, outdoor ambient temperature, humidity, weather, etc.).

[0073] n is the number of smart doors and windows in the open state. n is an integer and its value range is: n≥0.

[0074] F2 is a constant that can be either an integer or a decimal. Its value is independent of the temperature difference ΔT. Different models may have different F2 values. For the same model, the optimal F2 value can be determined through experimental testing or by intelligent algorithms such as AI that combine additional environmental parameters (such as indoor space size, number of occupants, outdoor temperature, humidity, and weather). The F2 value range is: F2 ≥ 0.

[0075] Table 1 Calculation method of temperature difference △T

[0076] Air conditioning operation mode Temperature difference △T Cooling mode <![CDATA[△T=T 内环 –T 设定 ]]> Heating mode <![CDATA[△T=T 设定 –T 内环 ]]>

[0077] Table 2 Examples of constant F1 values

[0078]

[0079] b. External fan control method: After entering "Smart Home Joint Adjustment Mode," if the external fan is speed-controlled, the external fan will increase the ΔS value based on the current speed; if the external fan is gear-controlled, the external fan will increase the M value based on the current gear. Note: The increased speed or gear cannot exceed the maximum allowable speed or gear of the external fan.

[0080] The calculation formula for △S is: △S=S1+n*S2.

[0081] S1 and S2 are constant integers. The values ​​of S1 and S2 may vary for different models. For the same model, optimal values ​​can be determined through experimental testing or by intelligent algorithms that combine additional environmental parameters (such as indoor space size, number of occupants, outdoor temperature, humidity, and weather). The range of S1 and S2 is: S1 ≥ 0; S2 ≥ 0.

[0082] n is the number of smart doors and windows in the open state, n is an integer, and the value range is n≥0.

[0083] The value of M is related to the number n of open smart doors and windows. Table 3 provides examples of M values. The value of M can vary for different models. For the same model, the optimal value can be determined through experimental testing or by intelligent algorithms incorporating additional environmental parameters (such as indoor space size, number of occupants, outdoor temperature, humidity, and weather). M is an integer with a range of M ≥ 0. When n ≥ 4, the outdoor fan operates directly at its highest setting.

[0084] Table 3 Example of M values

[0085]

[0086] c. Control method of internal fan:

[0087] If the user sets a specific wind speed other than the automatic wind speed, the internal fan speed or gear will remain unchanged based on the user setting. Note: The automatic wind speed in this invention does not constitute a specific wind speed. Specific wind speeds include quiet, gentle, low, medium-low, medium, medium-high, high, and powerful.

[0088] If the user selects automatic fan speed and enters "Smart Home Joint Adjustment Mode," the interior fan is controlled similarly to the exterior fan: if the interior fan is speed-controlled, the fan increases ΔP based on the current speed; if the interior fan is gear-controlled, the fan increases Q based on the current gear. Note: The increased speed or gear cannot exceed the maximum allowable speed or gear of the interior fan.

[0089] The calculation formula for △P is: △P=P1+n*P2.

[0090] P1 and P2 are constant integers. The values ​​of P1 and P2 may vary for different models. For the same model, optimal values ​​can be determined through experimental testing or by intelligent algorithms that combine additional environmental parameters (such as indoor space size, number of occupants, outdoor temperature, humidity, and weather). The values ​​of P1 and P2 are in the range of P1 ≥ 0; P2 ≥ 0.

[0091] n is the number of smart doors and windows in the open state, n is an integer, and the value range is n≥0.

[0092] The value of Q is related to the number of open smart doors and windows, n. Table 4 provides examples of Q values. Different models may have different Q values. For the same model, the optimal value can be determined through experimental testing or by intelligent algorithms such as AI, which can combine additional environmental parameters (such as indoor space size, number of occupants, outdoor temperature, humidity, and weather). Q is an integer with a range of Q ≥ 0. When n ≥ 4, the interior fan operates directly at its highest setting.

[0093] Table 4 Example of Q values

[0094]

[0095] It should be noted that for the aforementioned method embodiments, for simplicity of description, they are all expressed as a series of action combinations. However, those skilled in the art should be aware that the present invention is not limited by the order of the actions described, because according to the present invention, certain steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously. Secondly, those skilled in the art should also be aware that the embodiments described in this specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily required by the present invention.

[0096] According to another aspect of the embodiment of the present application, a linkage control device for smart devices is also provided. Figure 4 Shown, including:

[0097] A first determining module 402 is configured to determine a device status of a target smart device;

[0098] A second determining module 404 is configured to determine a first smart device group bound to the target smart device;

[0099] a third determining module 406 for determining, from the first smart device group, a second smart device group and a target state of each smart device in the second smart device group based on the device state;

[0100] The first control module 408 is configured to control each smart device in the second smart device group to transition from a current state to the target state.

[0101] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target smart device may be a smart air conditioner, and the first smart device group may be one or more smart windows, smart doors, etc. To achieve faster cooling or heating effects when a user uses the target smart device to rapidly cool or heat the indoor environment where the smart device is located, the smart doors and smart windows in the indoor environment are pre-bound to the smart device. When the target smart device is in the on state, the smart devices in the first smart device group that are in the on state are added to the second smart device group, and the target state is set to off. Each smart device is then switched from the on state to the off state. When the target smart device is in the off state, the target state of the smart devices in the second smart device group that are in the off state is set to on, and each smart device is switched from the off state to the on state. For example, if smart door 1, smart window 1, and smart window 2 are bound to smart air conditioner 1, when the user turns on smart air conditioner 1, the smart door 1 in the open state among smart doors 1, smart windows 1, and smart windows 2 is retrieved and simultaneously closed. When the user turns off smart air conditioner 1, smart door 1 is then switched on.

[0102] By controlling the smart devices that are bound to the target smart device and are in the turned-on state to be switched to the turned-off state when the target smart device is turned on, and controlling the smart devices that are bound to the target smart device and are in the turned-off state to be switched to the turned-on state when the target smart device is turned off, linkage control between smart devices is achieved, and the convenience and comfort of user use are improved, thereby solving the technical problem that when a smart device is working, other smart devices need to be manually turned off or on, which reduces the user experience.

[0103] As an optional example, the third determining module includes:

[0104] a first determining unit, configured to, when the device state is in the power-on state, determine a second smart device group from the first smart device group, wherein each smart device in the second smart device group is in the power-on state;

[0105] a second determining unit, configured to determine the target state as a closed state;

[0106] The first control unit is configured to control each smart device in the second smart device group to transition from a current state to the target state, including:

[0107] A first control signal is sent to each smart device in the second smart device group, so that each smart device in the second smart device group switches from the on state to the off state.

[0108] Optionally, in this embodiment, when a user turns on a target smart device, the device state of each smart device in the first smart device group is determined. If the device is in the on state, the device is added to the second smart device group, and the target state is determined to be off. A first control signal is sent to each smart device in the second smart device group, and the first control signal controls each smart device in the second smart device group to switch from the on state to the off state. To prevent errors in determining the on state due to the user quickly turning a smart device on and off, the device state of the smart device is determined after a first period of time after the target smart device is turned on. The first period of time can be 5 seconds or 6 seconds. The device state of the smart device can be determined by comparing the duration of the on state with the duration of the off state within the first period of time. If the duration of the on state within the first period of time is greater than or equal to the duration of the off state, the state of the smart device is determined to be on. If the duration of the on state within the first period of time is less than the duration of the off state, the state of the smart device is determined to be off. The above operation is performed for each smart device to obtain the state of each smart device, and all smart devices in the on state are added to the second smart device group.

[0113] The second control unit is configured to control each smart device in the second smart device group to transition from a current state to the target state, including:

[0114] A second control signal is sent to each smart device in the third smart device group, so that each smart device in the third smart device group switches from the closed state to the open state.

[0115] Optionally, in this embodiment, after the target smart device is powered on, all smart devices that were previously powered off can be manually powered on again by the user. If manually powered on again, they are no longer controlled by the target smart device, but can be controlled by the target smart device again through user settings. When the target smart device is powered off, smart devices in the second smart device group that have not been manually powered on by the user are identified and assigned to a third smart device group. A second control signal is sent to each smart device in the third smart device group, and each smart device in the third smart device group is controlled by the second control signal to switch from an on state to an off state.

[0116] Optionally, in this embodiment, before controlling each smart device in the third smart device group to switch from the on state to the off state, the surrounding weather at the current time, or the outdoor ambient temperature, can also be obtained, and whether to turn on the smart device can be selected based on the Sunday weather and the outdoor ambient temperature. For example, in thunderstorms or when the outdoor ambient temperature is too low, each smart device remains in the off state.

[0120] When the state of the current smart device remains in the off state and does not change, the current smart device is added to the third smart device group.

[0121] Optionally, in this embodiment, when determining the third smart device group from the second smart device group, it is determined whether the state of each smart device in the second smart device group has been manually changed by the user after being converted to the off state by the first control signal. If not, it is added to the third smart device group. If so, it is no longer controlled by the target smart device and needs to be added to the third smart device group through manual settings by the user.
