[0045] The following examples and embodiments are only to be understood as illustrative examples. Although the present specification may refer to "one", "a", or "some" examples or embodiments in several places, this does not mean that each such reference relates to the same example or embodiment, nor does it mean that the feature only applies to a single example or embodiment.

In addition, terms such as "including" and "comprising" should be understood not to limit the described embodiments to only the features already mentioned; such examples and embodiments may also include features, structures, units, modules, etc. not specifically mentioned.

[0046] The intelligent devices involved in the embodiments of the present application can be any type of device, such as: home appliances, lamps, cameras, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0047] The terminal device involved in the embodiments of the present application can be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to users, a handheld device with wireless connection capabilities, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, such as: mobile phones, computers, smart TVs, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0048] The device for identifying and positioning smart devices within a preset area involved in the embodiments of the present application can be, for example, a gateway, or other types of network devices, such as a Home evolved Node B (HeNB), a relay node, a femto, a pico, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0049] The following describes each embodiment of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification. It should be noted that the display order of the embodiments of the present application only represents the sequence of the embodiments, and does not represent the superiority or inferiority of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments.

[0050] See Figure 1 , a smart device management method provided by the embodiments of the present application includes:

[0051] S101. Determine the position of the device for identifying and positioning smart devices within the preset area in the preset area; wherein, the device identifies smart devices within the preset area, obtains the types and identifiers of the smart devices within the preset area, and moreover, the device obtains the relative position information of the smart devices relative to the device by initiating a positioning request;

[0052] An application scenario of smart device management provided by the embodiments of the present application, for example, see Figure 2 .

[0053] Among them, the preset area is, for example, a specified classroom, a theater and other places;

[0054] The smart device is, for example, a lamp (such as a chandelier);

[0055] The device for identifying and positioning smart devices within the preset area is, for example, a gateway;

[0056] That is to say, this step can, for example, first determine the position of the gateway in the classroom.

[0057] S102. Obtain the information of the smart devices reported by the device, including the types and identifiers of the smart devices, and the relative position information of the smart devices relative to the device; and determine the position of the smart devices in the preset area according to the relative position information.

[0058] Among them, obtaining the information of the intelligent device reported by the device may be, for example, obtaining the type and identifier of the lamp reported by the gateway through Bluetooth technology, and the angle of arrival (AOA) of the lamp relative to the gateway.

[0059] That is to say, for scenarios such as classrooms and theaters, through the embodiments of the present application, the gateway set in the scenario can be used to obtain the installation positions of intelligent devices such as lamps in the scenario and report them to the user terminal, so that the user can accurately know the installation positions of these intelligent devices in the scenario and perform subsequent related management operations based on this information. For example, based on the installation positions of these intelligent devices in the scenario, these intelligent devices can be grouped, and control can be performed based on the grouping results. For example, for a speech application, the lamps located at the podium position in the classroom can be controlled to turn on, and for a teaching application, all the lamps in the classroom can be controlled to turn on, and so on.

[0060] In addition, for the newly installed intelligent devices in the classroom, it is also very convenient to obtain the position information of the newly installed intelligent devices in the classroom through the gateway, so that the newly installed intelligent devices can be grouped and controlled, without manually marking the position, type, identifier, etc. of the intelligent devices in the classroom, thus greatly improving the work efficiency.

[0061] In some embodiments, the device includes a first gateway and a second gateway;

[0062] The relative position information includes: a first angle of arrival of the intelligent device relative to the first gateway, and a second angle of arrival of the intelligent device relative to the second gateway; wherein, the first angle of arrival is the angle between the ray starting from the first gateway and the reference line of the first gateway; the second angle of arrival is the angle between the ray starting from the second gateway and the reference line of the second gateway.

[0063] In some embodiments, determining the position of the intelligent device in the preset area according to the relative position information includes:

[0064] Determining a ray starting from the first gateway according to the first angle of arrival, the position of the first gateway in the preset area, and the reference line of the first gateway; and determining a ray starting from the second gateway according to the second angle of arrival, the position of the second gateway in the preset area, and the reference line of the second gateway;

[0065] Determining the intersection position of the ray starting from the first gateway and the ray starting from the second gateway as the position of the intelligent device in the preset area.

[0066] As Figure 3 shown, according to the first angle of arrival, the position of the first gateway within the preset area, and the reference line of the first gateway, a ray starting from the first gateway (the first ray) is determined, and according to the second angle of arrival, the position of the second gateway within the preset area, and the reference line of the second gateway, a ray starting from the second gateway (the second ray) is determined. Then, the intersection point of these two rays is the center point position of the chandelier A.

[0067] Among them, after the position of the gateway is determined, the position of its reference line is also determined. Therefore, according to the angle of arrival of the chandelier A relative to the gateway, the position of the gateway within the preset area, and the reference line of the gateway, a ray starting from the gateway can be determined.

[0068] In some embodiments, before determining the position of the device for identifying and positioning intelligent devices within the preset area within the preset area, the method further includes:

[0069] Providing a first user interface to the user; for example, a mobile application APP can be provided. After the user opens the APP, the first user interface is provided to the user;

[0070] Obtaining, through the first user interface, the identifier of the preset area input by the user. For example, the user can input the number of the classroom, such as classroom 101, in the first user interface;

[0071] According to the identifier of the preset area, obtaining a display map of the preset area and displaying the display map of the preset area to the user through a second user interface.

[0072] Among them, the display map of the preset area, such as the design drawing of classroom 101, is pre-stored locally or pre-stored in a network cloud platform, can be queried and obtained through a mobile phone, and then displayed to the user through the second user interface.

[0073] In some embodiments, determining the position of the device for identifying and positioning intelligent devices within the preset area within the preset area includes:

[0074] Displaying the device on the display map according to the recommended position of the device within the preset area preset;

[0075] When receiving, through the second user interface, an instruction from the user to drag the device on the display map, updating the position of the device within the preset area according to the instruction.

[0076] For example, the design drawing of the classroom 101 displayed to the user through the second user interface shows recommended positions of the first gateway and the second gateway, such as the corners of the room. The user can place the first gateway and the second gateway with reference to the recommended positions, or set the positions of the first gateway and the second gateway according to the user's wishes. The positions of the first gateway and the second gateway can be changed by dragging the displayed icons of the first gateway and the second gateway, and the first gateway and the second gateway can be placed according to the final positions, as long as the actual placement positions match the positions shown on the design drawing.

[0077] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0078] According to the position of the smart device in the preset area, the smart device is displayed on the display map.

[0079] That is to say, after the position of the smart device within the preset area is determined by the above method, the position of the smart device within the preset area can also be displayed on the design drawing through the APP. For example, after the position of chandelier A is determined, the icon of chandelier A can be displayed at the corresponding position, and information such as the type and logo of chandelier A can be given, so that users can view the relevant information of the smart device whose position has been determined through the user interface provided by the APP.

[0080] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0081] When receiving an instruction from the user to click on the smart device on the display image (for example, clicking on the icon of the displayed smart device), outputting a third user interface, wherein the third interface includes a preset smart device group management list;

[0082] By receiving user instructions through the third interface, group management of the smart devices is implemented, such as adding new smart devices to an existing group, deleting existing smart devices, editing relevant information of existing smart devices, etc., or a new group can be established for the new smart device alone. How to implement group management specifically is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0083] The preset smart device grouping management list may be a pre-set smart device grouping management list, or may be a smart device grouping management list established by the user as needed.

[0084] A more specific example is given below.

[0085] The system block diagram in this embodiment is as follows Figure 4As shown in the figure, it is a typical usage scenario in intelligent education. There are several intelligent lighting devices deployed in the classroom, including various types of lamps such as downlights and chandeliers. These lamps are integrated with Bluetooth modules inside and a Bluetooth mesh network is built inside. Through the Bluetooth mesh network, the lamps communicate with the gateway device and the APP of the user terminal.

[0086] The overall process is as Figure 5 shown. After the installer installs the lamps inside the classroom, batch grouping operations can be carried out by opening them on the mobile phone or laptop through the supporting APP tool. Before performing the networking operation, the operator needs to input the corresponding room number into the APP, and then the APP will display the corresponding two-dimensional design drawing on the APP interface according to the corresponding room number.

[0087] After that, the APP will give relevant prompts to prompt the user to calibrate the gateway device on the APP interface, such as placing it at the center of the diagonal of the room or the center of the desktop such as the podium (that is, according to the recommended position of the preset gateway in the classroom, the gateway is displayed on the display drawing). The user completes the calibration of the gateway position on the two-dimensional schematic diagram through the dragging operation on the APP (that is, when receiving the instruction from the user to drag the gateway on the display drawing, update the position of the gateway displayed on the display drawing according to the instruction), and at the same time place the corresponding gateway device at the actual room position. As in this Figure 4 example, the gateways are respectively placed at the center of the diagonals of two tables.

[0088] After the position of the gateway device is fixed, the gateway is powered on and starts to initialize. Gateway device 1 and gateway device 2 respectively send out broadcast messages externally to obtain all device information of the surrounding devices, including (device ID, device type, etc.).

[0089] Randomly select a gateway device as the main gateway, and other gateway devices as secondary gateways. The main gateway will count the device information and ID information collected and sort them based on the ID, and then perform positioning operations on the lamps in sequence according to the ID order. After any lamp device receives the positioning instruction and determines that the ID is the same as its own device, it initiates the positioning operation. After the main gateway and the secondary gateways receive the positioning of any lamp device, the Angle of Arrival (AOA) positioning algorithm is used to calculate the AOA arrival angle between the gateway and the lamp device. As Figure 4 shown, X1 degrees is the arrival angle between lamp device A and gateway device 1, and X2 degrees is the arrival angle between the lamp device and gateway device 2. After the gateway device calculates the arrival angle, it sends the angle information, the lamp device ID information, and the lamp device type information (chandelier) to the user terminal. The APP of the user terminal draws a ray respectively starting from the gateway based on the arrival angle information, and the intersection position of the two rays is the position of the lamp device in Figure 4The corresponding position in the two-dimensional classroom diagram shown (i.e., Figure 4 the position indicated by the five-pointed star in). The ID and type of the lighting device will be correspondingly displayed at this position. Such as a chandelier, ID: 00012345. The user can determine the use of the lighting device according to the type of the lighting device and the deployment of the items around the position of the lighting device, and perform detailed function grouping by clicking on the lighting icon shown at the position of the lighting device, as Figure 6 shown. For example, clicking on the chandelier device A can display another user interface, and the pre-set groups are shown on this user interface. Any group can be clicked to add the chandelier device A to this group. Specifically, how to group and how the interface is shown can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0090] And so on. Through the main gateway and the secondary gateway among them, the calibration and grouping of all lighting devices can be completed in sequence. In addition, it should be noted that the purpose of the embodiments of the present application can also be achieved without distinguishing between the main gateway and the secondary gateway for the two gateways, that is, as long as the position of the intelligent device can be determined. Distinguishing between the main gateway and the secondary gateway is only one implementation method and is not limited thereto.
