[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] This embodiment provides a device recommendation method, applied to the server side, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the recommended methods for this device include:

[0033] Step 01: Receive the operation data of each user when using the device, and organize all the operation data into a dataset.

[0034] The step of receiving operation data each time the user uses the device includes: if no response instruction is received from the device within a preset time, a reminder instruction is sent to the terminal, and the operation data is not recorded in the dataset; or, if a response instruction is received from the device, the operation data is recorded in the dataset.

[0035] After the step of receiving the operation data each time the user uses the device, the method includes: issuing a control command to the device based on the operation data, so as to control the device to work based on the control command.

[0036] Optionally, the operation data includes at least one of the following: user-issued instructions, user account, device MAC address, and time information.

[0037] Step 02: Receive user search data, and determine whether the user is searching for the target device based on the search data;

[0038] Step 03: If yes, recommend the corresponding products to the user based on the dataset.

[0039] Specifically, recommending corresponding products to users based on the dataset includes: analyzing user usage data based on the dataset to obtain user needs, and recommending corresponding products based on the user needs.

[0040] This embodiment provides a device recommendation method, applied to the remote control device side, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the process includes: collecting user operation data and sending the operation data to the server. Specifically, after collecting the user's first operation data, if the user's second operation data is collected after a preset time, the first operation data is not sent to the server; if the user's second operation data is not collected after the preset time, the first operation data is sent to the server.

[0041] This embodiment provides a device recommendation method applied to a terminal, including: receiving a reminder command sent by the terminal, and displaying reminder information according to the reminder command; receiving a user's search command, and sending the search command to a server.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, the user has a network-connected remote control device, including a traditional handheld remote control, a control terminal with an application installed, a third-party server device, a smart appliance, etc. All of these devices require network connectivity and are uniquely bound to the application account.

[0043] Optionally, the remote control can be an air conditioner remote control, a washing machine remote control, or a remote control for other smart electronic devices. This invention does not limit the specific type of remote control.

[0044] By adding tracking points to the remote control buttons, when a user uses the air conditioner remote to control the device, these tracking points report the user's actions. The server analyzes this data, and then, when the user searches for related devices in the application, it uses the analyzed data to determine user preferences and recommends appropriate products. For example, by collecting user usage data through the air conditioner remote control, which is uniquely linked to the app account, when a user uses the app account to enter the store and search for air conditioner-related keywords (such as air conditioner, home air conditioner, floor-standing air conditioner, etc.), the tracking points are triggered again. The server will first query the user's past air conditioner usage data (usually in monthly units) and recommend corresponding products based on this data.

[0045] Data tracking is a program on the server side. When a user clicks a button on a device, the device uploads information to the server, and the server processes the information accordingly. For example, if data tracking is set up on the buttons of an air conditioner remote control, when a user clicks a button, the device uploads the click information to the server. When the server receives the information and recognizes that it came from a button on this device, it automatically triggers the data tracking program written in advance on the server side to perform the corresponding processing operation.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the recommended method for the device includes: setting embedded points on the remote control and binding the remote control to an application. The user operates the remote control to issue commands to the device, such as commands to adjust the temperature, turn on the dehumidification function, turn on the ventilation function, etc. The remote control sends the command to the server. Since the remote control is set on demand, each button press by the user executes the command. To prevent invalid data, a delay event is set. If the user performs other operations within 2 seconds of clicking the button, the command is not reported to the server; otherwise, it is reported. Upon receiving the command, the server controls the device settings accordingly. If the device does not possess the functions specified in the settings, it does not react. If the server does not receive a response from the device within a preset time, it sends a reminder to the terminal. The terminal displays a reminder message, optionally stating "The current air conditioner does not have this command function." If the device possesses the functions specified in the settings, it performs the corresponding settings and sends a response to the server. Upon receiving the response, the server records the operation data in the dataset.

[0047] Users log in to the linked application by entering their account and password, which is intended to obtain user identity. Then, when users search for product keywords including air conditioners in the application, or when users select devices by category, recommendations are triggered. Specifically, the system analyzes the user's past usage parameters and triggers the tracking again. The server will first query the user's past air conditioner usage data (usually in months) and recommend corresponding products based on the usage data.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, when a user clicks on a function that they do not have, a push notification is sent to the user through the application and recorded. If the user clicks on a function that the air conditioner has, the function is executed and the user's operation is recorded. This data recording of the user's existing function execution is also convenient for recommending more suitable air conditioners to the user in the future. At the same time, for the product manufacturer, this data can be used to optimize and improve the product.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, the remote control differs from traditional infrared remote controls. Instead of using an infrared control device, the remote control is connected to a server via a network. When a user presses a button on the remote control, the remote control receives the user's intention and reports the user's action to the server. The server then controls the device by directly issuing commands to it. After receiving the command information from the server, the device replies with the execution result to the server.

[0050] This embodiment provides a device recommendation system 100, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the device recommendation system 100 includes: a data receiving module 10, a data processing module 20, a recognition module 30, and a recommendation module 40. Among them,

[0051] The data receiving module 10 is used to receive operation data each time the user uses the device; and to receive user search data.

[0052] Data processing module 20 is used to organize all operational data into a dataset;

[0053] The identification module 30 is used to determine whether the user is searching for the target device based on the search data;

[0054] The recommendation module 40 is used to recommend corresponding products to users based on the dataset.

[0055] This embodiment provides a remote control device 200, such as Figure 4 As shown, the remote control device 200 includes a data acquisition module 50 and a data transmission module 60. Among them,

[0056] The data acquisition module 50 is used to collect user operation data; wherein, the data acquisition module uses embedded point technology to collect operation data.

[0057] The data sending module 60 is used to send the operation data to the server.

[0058] This embodiment provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the device recommendation method as described above.
