Examples of the above network include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an enterprise intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.

[0040] The transmission device is used to receive or send data via a network. Specific examples of the above network may include a wireless network provided by a communication provider of the terminal device. In one instance, the transmission device includes a Network Interface Controller (NIC), which can be connected to other network devices through a base station and thus communicate with the Internet.

[0042] In this embodiment, a device status update method running in the above cloud server is provided. Figure 1 It is a flowchart of a device status update method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, and the process includes the following steps:

[0043] Step S12: Send a control command to multiple Internet of Things devices via the main gateway. The main gateway and the multiple Internet of Things devices form a first network, and the control command is used to adjust the device status of each Internet of Things device among the multiple Internet of Things devices.

[0044] Step S14: Receive feedback messages reported by the multiple Internet of Things devices via multiple sub-gateways. The information carried in the feedback messages includes: the current device status of each Internet of Things device among the multiple Internet of Things devices. Each sub-gateway among the multiple sub-gateways forms a second network with some of the Internet of Things devices among the multiple Internet of Things devices, and the network coverage of the second network is smaller than the network coverage of the first network.

[0045] Step S16: Update the historical device status of each Internet of Things device among the multiple Internet of Things devices to the current device status on the cloud server.

[0046] Optionally, the multiple sub-gateways include: a first sub-gateway and a second sub-gateway, and the multiple Internet of Things devices include: a first number of first Internet of Things devices and a second number of second Internet of Things devices.

[0047] Specifically, a gateway is also known as an internetwork connector and a protocol converter. A gateway realizes network interconnection above the network layer and is a complex network interconnection device, which is only used for network interconnection between two networks with different high-level protocols.

[0048] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a device status update system according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the device status update system mainly includes a cloud server, a main gateway, a sub - gateway 1, a sub - gateway 2, and multiple Internet of Things devices. Among them, the multiple Internet of Things devices can include multiple first Internet of Things devices and multiple second Internet of Things devices. For example, the multiple Internet of Things devices can include 2 smart refrigerators and 3 smart air conditioners.

[0049] The main gateway and the multiple Internet of Things devices form a first network. For example, the main gateway can form Network 1 with Smart Refrigerator 1, Smart Refrigerator 2, and Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2, Smart Air Conditioner 3.

[0050] The first sub - gateway and the first number of first Internet of Things devices can form a second network, and the network coverage of the second network is smaller than that of the first network. For example, Sub - gateway 1 and Smart Refrigerator 1, Smart Refrigerator 2 form Network 2, and the coverage of Network 2 is smaller than that of Network 1.

[0051] The second sub - gateway and the second number of second Internet of Things devices can also form a second network, and the network coverage of the second network is smaller than that of the first network. For example, Sub - gateway 2 and Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2, Smart Air Conditioner 3 form Network 3, and the coverage of Network 3 is smaller than that of Network 1.

[0052] The cloud server can send control commands to the first number of first Internet of Things devices and the second number of second Internet of Things devices through the main gateway to adjust the device status of each Internet of Things device in the multiple Internet of Things devices. For example, the cloud server can send status update commands to Smart Refrigerator 1, Smart Refrigerator 2, and Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2, Smart Air Conditioner 3 through Network 1 to update the device status of Smart Refrigerator 1, Smart Refrigerator 2, and Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2, Smart Air Conditioner 3.

[0053] The cloud server can receive the current device status of each Internet of Things device reported by the first number of first Internet of Things devices and the second number of second Internet of Things devices through multiple sub - gateways. For example, the cloud server can receive the current device status reported by Smart Refrigerator 1 and Smart Refrigerator 2 through Sub - gateway 1, where the status of Smart Refrigerator 1 is running and the status of Smart Refrigerator 2 is running. The cloud server can also receive the current device status reported by Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2, and Smart Air Conditioner 3 through Sub - gateway 2, where the status of Smart Air Conditioner 1 is running, the status of Smart Air Conditioner 2 is running, and the status of Smart Air Conditioner 2 is running.

[0054] On the cloud server, update the historical device status of each Internet of Things (IoT) device among the first quantity of first IoT devices and the second quantity of second IoT devices to the current device status. For example, on the cloud server, update the historical device status of "running" of smart refrigerator 1, smart refrigerator 2, smart air conditioner 1, smart air conditioner 2, and smart air conditioner 3 to the current device status of "stopped".

[0055] Based on the above steps S12 to S16, by sending control commands to multiple IoT devices via the main gateway, and then receiving feedback messages reported by the multiple IoT devices via multiple sub-gateways, and finally on the cloud server, updating the historical device status of each IoT device among the multiple IoT devices to the current device status, the purpose of quickly updating the device status is achieved, thereby realizing the technical effect of improving the efficiency of device status update, and further solving the technical problem of low update efficiency of the gateway device status in the related art.

[0056] Optionally, the device status update method further includes the following steps:

[0057] Step S17: Send a first notification message to at least one terminal device, where the first notification message is used to notify at least one terminal device to update the historically stored device status to the current device status.

[0058] After the cloud server updates the historical device status of each IoT device among the multiple IoT devices to the current device status, the cloud server can send a first notification message to at least one terminal device to notify at least one terminal device to update the historically stored device status in the terminal device to the current device status.

[0059] For example, after the cloud server updates the historical device status of "running" of smart refrigerator 1, smart refrigerator 2, smart air conditioner 1, smart air conditioner 2, and smart air conditioner 3 to the current device status of "stopped", the cloud server can send a device status update notification to mobile phone 1 and mobile phone 2 to notify mobile phone 1 and mobile phone 2 to update the historical device status of "running" of the 2 smart refrigerators and 3 smart air conditioners stored to the current device status of "stopped".

[0060] Based on the above step S17, by sending a first notification message to at least one terminal device, the terminal device can be reminded to update the historical device status of the stored IoT devices to the current device status.

[0061] Optionally, in step S12, sending control commands to multiple IoT devices via the main gateway includes:

[0062] Step S121: Search for and select the main gateway;

[0063] Step S122: Send a second notification message to the main gateway. The information carried in the second notification message includes: a control command. The second notification message is used to notify the main gateway to forward the control command to multiple Internet of Things devices.

[0064] Specifically, when the cloud server sends a control command to multiple Internet of Things devices through the main gateway, it is first necessary to search for and select the main gateway, and then send a second notification message including the control command to the main gateway to notify the main gateway to forward the control command to multiple Internet of Things devices.

[0065] For example, when the cloud server sends a command to update the device status to Smart Refrigerator 1 and Smart Refrigerator 2 through the main gateway, it is first necessary to search for and select the main gateway, and then send a notification message to the main gateway. The notification message includes the control command "Update the status of Smart Refrigerator 1 and Smart Refrigerator 2 to stopped" to notify the main gateway to forward the above control command to Smart Refrigerator 1 and Smart Refrigerator 2.

[0066] Based on the above steps S121 to S122, by searching for and selecting the main gateway and then sending a second notification message to the main gateway, the main gateway can forward the control command to multiple Internet of Things devices, ensuring the consistency and simultaneity of controlling the Internet of Things devices.

[0067] Optionally, in step S14, receiving feedback messages reported by multiple Internet of Things devices via multiple sub - gateways includes: receiving feedback messages from each of the multiple sub - gateways respectively. The feedback message is used to feedback the current device status of each Internet of Things device in the part of Internet of Things devices corresponding to each sub - gateway among the multiple sub - gateways.

[0068] Specifically, receive the current device status of each Internet of Things device in the part of Internet of Things devices corresponding to each of the multiple sub - gateways respectively. For example, receive the current device status of Smart Refrigerator 1 and Smart Refrigerator 2 corresponding to Sub - gateway 1, and receive the current device status of Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2, and Smart Air Conditioner 3 corresponding to Sub - gateway 2.

[0069] Based on the above step S14, by receiving feedback messages from each of the multiple sub - gateways respectively, multiple Internet of Things devices can report their device status only to the sub - gateways in the second network where they are located. Then the cloud server receives the device status of multiple Internet of Things devices through multiple sub - gateways, enabling the device status reported by the Internet of Things devices to be transmitted only through the sub - gateways in the second network without relying on the main gateway. This can achieve the separation of command issuance and status reporting, avoid network congestion, and thus improve the update efficiency of device status.

[0070] Optionally, in step S14, receiving feedback messages from each of the multiple sub - gateways respectively includes:

[0071] Step S141: Receive a feedback message from the first sub-gateway. The feedback message is used to feedback the current device status of each of the first number of first Internet of Things devices corresponding to the first sub-gateway.

[0072] Step S142: Receive a feedback message from the second sub-gateway. The feedback message is used to feedback the current device status of each of the second number of second Internet of Things devices corresponding to the second sub-gateway.

[0073] Specifically, receive the current device status of each of the first number of first Internet of Things devices corresponding to the first sub-gateway through the first sub-gateway. For example, receive the current device status of Smart Refrigerator 1 and Smart Refrigerator 2 among the 2 smart refrigerators corresponding to Sub-gateway 1 through Sub-gateway 1.

[0074] Specifically, receive the current device status of each of the second number of second Internet of Things devices corresponding to the second sub-gateway through the second sub-gateway. For example, receive the current device status of Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2, and Smart Air Conditioner 3 among the 3 smart air conditioners corresponding to Sub-gateway 2 through Sub-gateway 2.

[0075] Based on the above steps S141 to S142, by receiving the feedback message from the first sub-gateway and the feedback message from the second sub-gateway, it is possible to use different sub-gateways to receive the device status reported by different Internet of Things devices, avoid network congestion, and thus improve the update efficiency of the device status.

[0076] In this embodiment, a device status update method running in the above Internet of Things device is further provided. Figure 3 It is a flowchart of another device status update method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown. The process includes the following steps:

[0077] Step S32: Receive a control command from the cloud server via the main gateway. The main gateway and multiple Internet of Things devices form a first network. The control command is used to adjust the device status of each of the multiple Internet of Things devices.

[0078] Step S34: Based on the control command, update the historical device status of each of the multiple Internet of Things devices to the current device status.

[0079] Step S36, report feedback messages to the cloud server via multiple sub - gateways, so that the cloud server updates the historical device status of each Internet of Things device in the multiple Internet of Things devices to the current device status. The information carried in the feedback message includes: the current device status of each Internet of Things device in the multiple Internet of Things devices, each of the multiple sub - gateways and a part of the Internet of Things devices in the multiple Internet of Things devices form a second network, and the network coverage of the second network is smaller than that of the first network.

[0080] Optionally, the multiple sub - gateways include: a first sub - gateway and a second sub - gateway, and the multiple Internet of Things devices include: a first number of first Internet of Things devices and a second number of second Internet of Things devices.

[0081] As Figure 2 shown, the main gateway and a first number of first Internet of Things devices and a second number of second Internet of Things devices form a first network. For example, the main gateway and 2 smart refrigerators and 3 smart air conditioners form Network 1.

[0082] Each of the multiple sub - gateways and a part of the Internet of Things devices in the multiple Internet of Things devices form a second network, and the network coverage of the second network is smaller than that of the first network. For example, the multiple Internet of Things devices include 2 smart refrigerators and 3 smart air conditioners. Sub - gateway 1 and 2 smart refrigerators form Network 2, and Sub - gateway 2 and 3 smart air conditioners form Network 3, where the coverage of Network 2 and Network 3 is smaller than the coverage of the above - mentioned Network 1.

[0083] Receive control commands from the cloud server through the main gateway to adjust the device status of each Internet of Things device in the multiple Internet of Things devices. For example, receive a command to update the device status from the cloud server through the main gateway to update the device status of each of the 2 smart refrigerators.

[0084] Based on the control command, update the historical device status of each Internet of Things device in the multiple Internet of Things devices to the current device status. For example, based on the command to update the device status to stop, update the historical device status of each of the 2 smart refrigerators to the current device status "stop".

[0085] Report the current device status of each Internet of Things device in the multiple Internet of Things devices to the cloud server through the multiple sub - gateways, so that the cloud server updates the historical device status of each Internet of Things device in the multiple Internet of Things devices to the current device status. For example, report the current device status of Smart Refrigerator 1 and Smart Refrigerator 2 among the 2 smart refrigerators to the cloud server through Sub - gateway 1. Another example, report the current device status of Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2, and Smart Air Conditioner 3 among the 3 smart air conditioners to the cloud server through Sub - gateway 2.

[0086] Based on the above steps S32 to S36, by receiving control commands from the cloud server via the main gateway, and then based on the control commands, updating the historical device status of each Internet of Things device among multiple Internet of Things devices to the current device status, and finally reporting feedback messages to the cloud server via multiple sub-gateways, so that the cloud server updates the historical device status of each Internet of Things device among multiple Internet of Things devices to the current device status, the purpose of quickly updating the device status is achieved, thereby realizing the technical effect of improving the efficiency of device status update, and further solving the technical problem of low update efficiency of gateway device status in the related art.

[0087] Optionally, in step S36, reporting feedback messages to the cloud server via multiple sub-gateways includes:

[0088] Step S361, determining the sub-gateway corresponding to each Internet of Things device among multiple Internet of Things devices from multiple sub-gateways;

[0089] Step S362, controlling each Internet of Things device among multiple Internet of Things devices to broadcast feedback messages to the corresponding sub-gateway, where the feedback message is used to feedback the current device status of each Internet of Things device among the partial Internet of Things devices corresponding to each sub-gateway among multiple sub-gateways.

[0090] Specifically, when determining the sub-gateway corresponding to each Internet of Things device among multiple Internet of Things devices from multiple sub-gateways, the corresponding sub-gateway can be determined from the second network where each Internet of Things device is located. For example, when determining the sub-gateway corresponding to Smart Refrigerator 1 among 2 smart refrigerators and 3 smart air conditioners from sub-gateways 1 and 2, the corresponding sub-gateway can be determined as sub-gateway 1 from the network 2 where Smart Refrigerator 1 is located.

[0091] Controlling each Internet of Things device among multiple Internet of Things devices to broadcast the current device status of each Internet of Things device among the partial Internet of Things devices corresponding to each sub-gateway among multiple sub-gateways to the corresponding sub-gateway. For example, controlling Smart Refrigerator 1 and Smart Refrigerator 2 among 2 smart refrigerators and 3 smart air conditioners to broadcast the current device status of Smart Refrigerator 1 and Smart Refrigerator 2 corresponding to sub-gateway 1 to the corresponding sub-gateway 1. Another example, controlling Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2, and Smart Air Conditioner 3 among 2 smart refrigerators and 3 smart air conditioners to broadcast the current device status of Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2, and Smart Air Conditioner 3 corresponding to sub-gateway 2 to the corresponding sub-gateway 2.

[0092] Based on the above steps S361 to S362, by determining the sub-gateway corresponding to each Internet of Things device among multiple Internet of Things devices from multiple sub-gateways, and then controlling each Internet of Things device among multiple Internet of Things devices to broadcast feedback messages to the corresponding sub-gateway, the device status of different Internet of Things devices can be reported to different sub-gateways, which can avoid network congestion, and further improve the efficiency of device status update.

[0093] Optionally, in step S362, controlling each of the multiple Internet of Things devices to broadcast a feedback message to the corresponding sub-gateway includes:

[0094] Step S3621, controlling each of the first number of first Internet of Things devices to broadcast a feedback message to the corresponding first sub-gateway, where the feedback message is used to feedback the current device status of each of the first number of first Internet of Things devices;

[0095] Step S3622, controlling each of the second number of second Internet of Things devices to broadcast a feedback message to the corresponding second sub-gateway, where the feedback message is used to feedback the current device status of each of the second number of second Internet of Things devices.

[0096] Specifically, controlling each of the first number of first Internet of Things devices to broadcast the current device status of each of the first number of first Internet of Things devices to the corresponding first sub-gateway. For example, controlling smart refrigerator 1 and smart refrigerator 2 among 2 smart refrigerators to broadcast the current device status of smart refrigerator 1 and smart refrigerator 2 to the corresponding sub-gateway 1.

[0097] Controlling each of the second number of second Internet of Things devices to broadcast the current device status of each of the second number of second Internet of Things devices to the corresponding second sub-gateway. For example, controlling smart air conditioner 1, smart air conditioner 2, and smart air conditioner 3 among 3 smart air conditioners to broadcast the current device status of smart air conditioner 1, smart air conditioner 2, and smart air conditioner 3 to the corresponding sub-gateway 2.

[0098] Based on the above steps S3621 to S3622, by controlling each of the first number of first Internet of Things devices to broadcast a feedback message to the corresponding first sub-gateway, and controlling each of the second number of second Internet of Things devices to broadcast a feedback message to the corresponding second sub-gateway, the device status of different Internet of Things devices can be broadcast through different sub-gateways, which can avoid network congestion and thus improve the update efficiency of the device status.

[0099] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a device status update method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, the working process of the device status update method is as follows:

[0100] Step S401, search for and select the main gateway;

[0101] Step S402, send a second notification message, where the information carried in the second notification message includes: a control command;

[0102] Step S403, forward the control command;

[0103] Step S404, receive the control command from the cloud server via the main gateway;

[0104] Step S405, based on the control command, update the historical state of each Internet of Things device among the multiple Internet of Things devices to the current device state;

[0105] Step S406, determine the sub-gateway corresponding to each Internet of Things device among the multiple Internet of Things devices from the multiple sub-gateways;

[0106] Step S407, control each Internet of Things device among the multiple Internet of Things devices to broadcast a feedback message to the corresponding sub-gateway, where the information carried in the feedback message includes: the current device information of each Internet of Things device among the multiple Internet of Things devices;

[0110] Step S411, send a first notification message to at least one terminal device, where the first notification message is used to notify at least one terminal device to update the historical device state stored locally to the current device state;

[0111] Step S412, update the historical device state stored locally to the current device state.

[0112] In the working process of the above device network configuration method, by sending a control command to multiple Internet of Things devices via the main gateway, and then receiving the feedback messages reported by the multiple Internet of Things devices via the multiple sub-gateways, and finally, on the cloud server, updating the historical device state of each Internet of Things device among the multiple Internet of Things devices to the current device state, the purpose of quickly updating the device state is achieved, thereby realizing the technical effect of improving the efficiency of device state update, and further solving the technical problem of low update efficiency of the gateway device state in the related technology.

[0113] Next, taking a smart refrigerator and a smart air conditioner as examples, the working process of the device state update method will be introduced in detail:

[0114] In the device status update system, two smart refrigerators, three smart air conditioners and a main gateway form Network 1. Among them, two smart refrigerators and Sub-gateway 1 form Network 2, and three smart air conditioners and Sub-gateway 2 form Network 3. The coverage ranges of the above-mentioned Network 2 and Network 3 are smaller than that of Network 1.

[0115] First, the cloud server searches for and selects the main gateway, and sends a control command to update the device status of two smart refrigerators and three smart air conditioners to the main gateway. After the main gateway receives the control command, it forwards the control command to two smart refrigerators and three smart air conditioners.

[0116] Secondly, after two smart refrigerators and three smart air conditioners receive the control command from the cloud via the main gateway, Smart Refrigerator 1, Smart Refrigerator 2, Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2 and Smart Air Conditioner 3 update their historical device status to the current device status based on the control command, and determine that the sub-gateway corresponding to Smart Refrigerator 1 and Smart Refrigerator 2 among Sub-gateways 1 and 2 is Sub-gateway 1, and the sub-gateway corresponding to Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2 and Smart Air Conditioner 3 is Sub-gateway 2.

[0117] Subsequently, control Smart Refrigerator 1 and Smart Refrigerator 2 to broadcast the current device status of Smart Refrigerator 1 and Smart Refrigerator 2 to the corresponding Sub-gateway 1, and control Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2 and Smart Air Conditioner 3 to broadcast the current device status of Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2 and Smart Air Conditioner 3 to the corresponding Sub-gateway 2.

[0118] Furthermore, Sub-gateway 1 and Sub-gateway 2 forward the current device status of Smart Refrigerator 1, Smart Refrigerator 2, Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2 and Smart Air Conditioner 3 to the cloud server. When the cloud server receives the current device status of Smart Refrigerator 1, Smart Refrigerator 2, Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2 and Smart Air Conditioner 3 via Sub-gateway 1 and Sub-gateway 2, it updates the historical device status of Smart Refrigerator 1, Smart Refrigerator 2, Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2 and Smart Air Conditioner 3 to the current device status.

[0119] Finally, the cloud server sends a first notification message to Mobile Phone 1 and Mobile Phone 2, which is used to notify Mobile Phone 1 and Mobile Phone 2 to update the historical device status of Smart Refrigerator 1, Smart Refrigerator 2, Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2 and Smart Air Conditioner 3 stored locally to the current device status. After Mobile Phone 1 and Mobile Phone 2 receive the first notification message, they update the historical device status of Smart Refrigerator 1, Smart Refrigerator 2, Smart Air Conditioner 1, Smart Air Conditioner 2 and Smart Air Conditioner 3 locally to the current device status, thereby completing the update of the device status.

[0120] Next, taking a smart sweeper and a smart humidifier as examples, the working process of the device status update method will be introduced in detail:

[0121] In the device status update system, two intelligent sweeping robots, three intelligent humidifiers and a main gateway form Network 1. Among them, the two intelligent sweeping robots and Sub-gateway 1 form Network 2, and the three intelligent humidifiers and Sub-gateway 2 form Network 3. The coverage ranges of the above-mentioned Network 2 and Network 3 are smaller than that of Network 1.

[0122] First, the cloud server searches for and selects the main gateway, and sends a control command to the main gateway to update the device status of two intelligent sweeping robots and three intelligent humidifiers. After the main gateway receives the control command, it forwards the control command to the two intelligent sweeping robots and three intelligent humidifiers.

[0123] Second, after the two intelligent sweeping robots and three intelligent humidifiers receive the control command from the cloud via the main gateway, Intelligent Sweeping Robot 1, Intelligent Sweeping Robot 2, Humidifier 1, Humidifier 2, and Humidifier 3 update their historical device status to the current device status based on the control command, and determine that the sub-gateway corresponding to Intelligent Sweeping Robot 1 and Intelligent Sweeping Robot 2 among Sub-gateways 1 and 2 is Sub-gateway 1, and the sub-gateway corresponding to Humidifier 1, Humidifier 2, and Humidifier 3 is Sub-gateway 2.

[0124] Subsequently, control Intelligent Sweeping Robot 1 and Intelligent Sweeping Robot 2 to broadcast the current device status of Intelligent Sweeping Robot 1 and Intelligent Sweeping Robot 2 to the corresponding Sub-gateway 1, and control Humidifier 1, Humidifier 2, and Humidifier 3 to broadcast the current device status of Humidifier 1, Humidifier 2, and Humidifier 3 to the corresponding Sub-gateway 2.

[0125] Furthermore, Sub-gateway 1 and Sub-gateway 2 forward the current device status of Intelligent Sweeping Robot 1, Intelligent Sweeping Robot 2, Humidifier 1, Humidifier 2, and Humidifier 3 to the cloud server. When the cloud server receives the current device status of Intelligent Sweeping Robot 1, Intelligent Sweeping Robot 2, Humidifier 1, Humidifier 2, and Humidifier 3 via Sub-gateway 1 and Sub-gateway 2, it updates the historical device status of Intelligent Sweeping Robot 1, Intelligent Sweeping Robot 2, Humidifier 1, Humidifier 2, and Humidifier 3 to the current device status.

[0126] Finally, the cloud server sends a first notification message to Mobile Phone 1 and Mobile Phone 2, which is used to notify Mobile Phone 1 and Mobile Phone 2 to update the historical device status of Intelligent Sweeping Robot 1, Intelligent Sweeping Robot 2, Humidifier 1, Humidifier 2, and Humidifier 3 stored locally to the current device status. After Mobile Phone 1 and Mobile Phone 2 receive the first notification message, they update the historical device status of Intelligent Sweeping Robot 1, Intelligent Sweeping Robot 2, Humidifier 1, Humidifier 2, and Humidifier 3 stored locally to the current device status, thereby completing the update of the device status.

[0127] Next, taking smart lighting lamps and smart door locks as examples, the working process of the device status update method will be introduced in detail:

[0128] In the device status update system, two smart lighting lamps, three smart door locks and a main gateway form Network 1. Among them, two smart lighting lamps and Sub-gateway 1 form Network 2, and three smart door locks and Sub-gateway 2 form Network 3. The coverage ranges of the above-mentioned Network 2 and Network 3 are smaller than that of Network 1.

[0129] First, the cloud server searches for and selects the main gateway, and sends a control command to update the device status of two smart lighting lamps and three smart door locks to the main gateway. After the main gateway receives the control command, it forwards the control command to two smart lighting lamps and three smart door locks.

[0130] Secondly, after two smart lighting lamps and three smart door locks receive the control command from the cloud via the main gateway, Smart Lighting Lamp 1, Smart Lighting Lamp 2, Smart Door Lock 1, Smart Door Lock 2 and Smart Door Lock 3 update their historical device status to the current device status based on the control command, and determine that the sub-gateway corresponding to Smart Lighting Lamp 1 and Smart Lighting Lamp 2 among Sub-gateways 1 and 2 is Sub-gateway 1, and the sub-gateway corresponding to Smart Door Lock 1, Smart Door Lock 2 and Smart Door Lock 3 is Sub-gateway 2.

[0131] Subsequently, control Smart Lighting Lamp 1 and Smart Lighting Lamp 2 to broadcast the current device status of Smart Lighting Lamp 1 and Smart Lighting Lamp 2 to the corresponding Sub-gateway 1, and control Smart Door Lock 1, Smart Door Lock 2 and Smart Door Lock 3 to broadcast the current device status of Smart Door Lock 1, Smart Door Lock 2 and Smart Door Lock 3 to the corresponding Sub-gateway 2.

[0132] Furthermore, Sub-gateway 1 and Sub-gateway 2 forward the current device status of Smart Lighting Lamp 1, Smart Lighting Lamp 2, Smart Door Lock 1, Smart Door Lock 2 and Smart Door Lock 3 to the cloud server. When the cloud server receives the current device status of Smart Lighting Lamp 1, Smart Lighting Lamp 2, Smart Door Lock 1, Smart Door Lock 2 and Smart Door Lock 3 via Sub-gateway 1 and Sub-gateway 2, it updates the historical device status of Smart Lighting Lamp 1, Smart Lighting Lamp 2, Smart Door Lock 1, Smart Door Lock 2 and Smart Door Lock 3 to the current device status.

[0133] Finally, the cloud server sends a first notification message to Mobile Phone 1 and Mobile Phone 2, which is used to notify Mobile Phone 1 and Mobile Phone 2 to update the historical device status of Smart Lighting Lamp 1, Smart Lighting Lamp 2, Smart Door Lock 1, Smart Door Lock 2 and Smart Door Lock 3 stored locally to the current device status. After Mobile Phone 1 and Mobile Phone 2 receive the first notification message, they update the historical device status of Smart Lighting Lamp 1, Smart Lighting Lamp 2, Smart Door Lock 1, Smart Door Lock 2 and Smart Door Lock 3 locally to the current device status, thus completing the update of the device status.
