[0055] 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. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The following describes the scenarios of embodiments of the present invention.

[0058] Figure 1 This shows a schematic diagram of the appearance of a smart home appliance controller; such as Figure 1 As shown, the smart home appliance controller (i.e., the one equipped with an automatic radio frequency signal identification device mentioned above) is an automatic identification system consisting of a reader 10, a transponder (RFID card) 11, and a computer network. Typically, the reader 10 emits energy to create an electromagnetic field in a designated area. When the RFID tags of each smart home appliance pass through this area, they detect the signal from the reader 10 and send their stored data. The reader 10 receives the signals sent by the RFID tags, decodes them, and verifies the accuracy of the data to achieve identification. Subsequently, the reader 10 sends the identified signal to the control device of the smart home appliance controller (i.e., the control system mentioned below, which is the application program within the smart home appliance controller) for appropriate processing.

[0059] In this embodiment, RFID radio frequency cards (RFID tags) do not need to be aimed and read like barcode tags. They can be accurately read as long as they are placed in the electromagnetic field generated by the reading device. This makes them more suitable for use with various automated smart home appliances, while reducing or even eliminating the costs of human resources, reduced efficiency, errors and corrections caused by manual intervention in data collection.

[0060] RFID can perform thousands of reads per second, processing numerous radio frequency signals simultaneously. It is highly efficient and accurate, significantly improving management precision without reducing (or even increasing) work efficiency or increasing (or even decreasing) management costs. This makes the entire work process transparent in real time, creating substantial economic benefits. The data on the RFID reader can be repeatedly modified, allowing it to transmit key data for control equipment to generate the most suitable operating plans for smart home appliances, greatly saving energy. Simultaneously, by monitoring the received electromagnetic wave signals, the operating status of various types of smart home appliances can be determined. When a smart home appliance malfunctions, electromagnetic wave signal processing can roughly determine the problem, generate a fault analysis report and solutions, and transmit them to the user in real time via a cloud platform.

[0061] RFID card reading does not require visual visibility because it does not rely on visible light. Therefore, it can be used in harsh environments where barcode technology is inadequate, such as high-dust pollution areas and outdoor settings, further expanding the application scope of automatic identification technology. Using a programmer, data can be written to the RFID card, giving it interactive portable data file functionality. It communicates with the reader at a frequency of 50-100 times per second, so as long as the object attached to the RFID card is within the reader's effective recognition range, its location can be dynamically tracked and monitored.

[0062] Figure 2 This illustrates a network diagram of a smart home appliance control system (control device); such as Figure 2 As shown, the control equipment has a control system as the core control area, and six functional areas: remote control, electromagnetic wave acquisition, feasibility report, actuator, energy-saving adjustment, and fault analysis. The execution area consists of eight categories of smart home appliances, including large kitchen appliances, small kitchen appliances, bathing and care appliances, air purification appliances, heat preservation and heating appliances, dehumidification and humidification appliances, disinfection and sterilization appliances, and medical and health appliances.

[0063] Figure 3 A schematic diagram illustrating the working principle of intelligent home appliance control devices is shown; such as Figure 3As shown, the control system receives carrier signals (wavelength and intensity) from the RFID tags of various smart home appliances. These signals are then transmitted to the reader via a modulator. The reader demodulates and decodes the received signals before sending them to the control system for further processing. The control system uses logical operations to determine the legitimacy of the RFID tag and whether the received signal is from a single appliance or a combination of multiple appliances. Based on these different settings, the control system performs corresponding processing and control (e.g., controlling the usage time, performance, and energy consumption of smart home appliances) and issues command signals to control the execution area to perform relevant actions. Simultaneously, the control system can also transmit fault analysis reports and solutions generated based on the operating status and problems of various smart home appliances to the mobile terminal (i.e., the user) via a cloud platform in real time. Furthermore, the control system can input user needs and external environmental factors (such as temperature and humidity) into the system for comprehensive processing, generating an optimal operating plan. Based on the running time, energy consumption, and performance of each smart home appliance monitored in the background, and according to the collected wavebands, the control system modifies the plan, adjusts parameters, and regulates the operation of various smart home appliances in real time to achieve optimal performance and meet user needs.

[0064] Figure 4 This illustrates a first flowchart of the intelligent home appliance control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the smart home appliance control method provided in this application includes:

[0065] Step S110: Send radio frequency activation signal.

[0066] In this application, the intelligent home appliance control method is applied to the control equipment in an intelligent home appliance control system.

[0067] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 The reader 10 in the system wirelessly transmits radio frequency signals of a certain frequency. When each smart home appliance RFID tag enters the local area network (LAN) area, it receives the radio frequency signal emitted by the reader and, using the energy gained from the induced current, transmits the product information stored in its chip. Alternatively, the RFID tag can actively transmit a signal of a specific frequency. The reader reads and decodes the signal and sends it to the control device for data processing. The RFID tag's response is transmitted under the influence of the electromagnetic field or electromagnetic waves emitted by the reader. By employing RFID technology and electromagnetic wave radio frequency acquisition, when the RFID tag enters the wireless LAN operating area, an induced current is generated, activating each smart home appliance RFID tag.

[0068] It should be noted that the smart home appliances described in this application have been equipped with an RFID card (or RFID tag) (which is in passive activation mode) and remain in an active state as long as they are within the coverage area of ​​the set electromagnetic wave local area network.

[0069] Step S120: Receive the radio frequency response signal corresponding to the radio frequency activation signal.

[0070] In this application, the radio frequency activation signal, radio frequency signal, and radio frequency response signal all include electromagnetic wave signals, etc.

[0071] This step follows the previous step. After each smart home appliance is activated by the radio frequency activation signal, the radio frequency tag of each smart home appliance transmits its own encoding and other information through the built-in antenna. The control device receives the radio frequency response signal corresponding to the radio frequency activation signal sent from the radio frequency tag of each smart home appliance.

[0072] Step S130: Determine the smart home appliance to be controlled based on the radio frequency response signal.

[0073] In some embodiments, the step of determining the smart home appliance to be controlled based on the radio frequency response signal includes: configuring a filter corresponding to the cutoff frequency of each smart home appliance; filtering the radio frequency response signal through the filter to obtain a filtering result; and determining the smart home appliance to be controlled based on the sub-signals contained in the filtering result.

[0074] In some embodiments, before the step of filtering the radio frequency response signal through the filter, the method further includes: obtaining a signal strength parameter of the radio frequency response signal; determining the signal type of the radio frequency response signal based on the signal strength parameter; and performing the step of filtering the radio frequency response signal through the filter when the signal type indicates that the radio frequency response signal is a mixed response signal of multiple smart home appliances.

[0075] Specifically, when multiple radio frequency response signals are input simultaneously, the control device applies filters with different cutoff frequencies to the input signals, then analyzes the output electromagnetic wave signals (filtering results) of the corresponding filters, and determines which smart home appliances are operating based on the sub-signals contained in the electromagnetic wave signals output by the filters.

[0076] In some embodiments, after the step of determining the smart home appliance to be controlled based on the radio frequency response signal, the method further includes: obtaining the planned operating duration and planned operating power of the smart home appliance to be controlled; determining the actual operating duration and actual operating power of the smart home appliance to be controlled based on the radio frequency response signal; and sending a radio frequency control signal to the smart home appliance to be controlled based on the planned operating duration, the actual operating duration, the planned operating power, and the actual operating power.

[0077] In some embodiments, before the step of obtaining the planned operating time of the smart home appliance to be controlled, the method further includes: obtaining user temporary needs and working environment parameters; and determining the planned operating time and planned operating power of each smart home appliance based on the number of user temporary needs and working environment parameters.

[0078] Specifically, after identifying the smart home appliances to be controlled, the control device comprehensively analyzes and processes the operating status of the smart home appliances based on the user's temporary needs and external working environment parameters (such as temperature and humidity parameters), including the planned working time, actual working time, planned working power, and actual working power. The control device then modifies the operating plan, adjusts parameters, and regulates the operation of various smart home appliances in real time to achieve the optimal operating effect to meet the user's needs.

[0079] In some embodiments, after the step of determining the smart home appliance to be controlled based on the radio frequency response signal, the method further includes: the control device determining a smart home appliance linkage plan based on the user's target needs; determining the feasibility analysis result of the smart home appliance linkage plan based on the device function parameters of the smart home appliance to be controlled; and then sending the feasibility analysis result to the mobile terminal (user) through a cloud platform.

[0080] In some embodiments, after the step of determining the smart home appliance to be controlled based on the radio frequency response signal, the method further includes: acquiring historical radio frequency signals of the smart home appliance to be controlled; determining the operating state of the smart home appliance to be controlled based on the comparison result of the historical radio frequency signals and the radio frequency response signal; and sending an abnormality warning when the operating state indicates that the smart home appliance to be controlled is malfunctioning.

[0081] For details, please refer to Figure 6a , Figure 6b , Figure 6a and Figure 6b A schematic diagram of electromagnetic wave anomaly acquisition is shown, in which... Figure 6a It is a single electromagnetic wave signal, and the geomagnetic wave signal is weak. Figure 6bIt is a mixture of multiple electromagnetic wave signals, with a stronger electromagnetic wave signal. This is determined by the wavelength and intensity of the electromagnetic waves (e.g.,...). Figure 6a and Figure 6b As shown in the diagram, the control device identifies whether one or multiple smart home appliances are operating. Depending on the situation, it sets and monitors the usage time for a single or multiple smart home appliances. The control device calculates and allocates the usage time to ensure minimal power consumption, while simultaneously monitoring the usage status of each smart home appliance and reporting any abnormalities. Because the vibration, wavelength, and frequency of electromagnetic wave signals from smart home appliances during abnormal operation differ significantly from those during normal use, the control device can determine the operating status of each smart home appliance by monitoring the radio frequency response signals fed back by the RFID tags. Figure 7a and Figure 7b As shown, Figure 7a and Figure 7b A schematic diagram of electromagnetic wave benchmarking analysis is shown; Figure 7a These are various electromagnetic wave signals during normal use. Figure 7b This involves analyzing various electromagnetic wave signals emitted during abnormal operation by comparing them with those emitted during normal use. This comparison helps identify malfunctions in smart home appliances (such as unusual sounds emitted). Figure 7a and Figure 7b The diagram illustrates a scenario where multiple electromagnetic wave signals are input simultaneously. When an anomaly occurs, the control device will disassemble the multiple electromagnetic wave signals and compare them with a single electromagnetic wave signal to determine which specific smart home appliance is malfunctioning. It will then determine the location of the smart home appliance's fault by analyzing the frequency or amplitude of the electromagnetic wave signals, generating a fault analysis report and suggested measures. This report will be uploaded to the cloud platform via the local area network and sent to the user. The user can then contact a repair technician in advance to repair or replace the smart home appliance components based on the analysis report or suggested measures.

[0082] In some embodiments, the step of determining the operating state of the smart home appliance to be controlled based on the comparison result of the historical radio frequency signal and the radio frequency response signal includes: obtaining the first pole and zero position of the historical radio frequency signal; obtaining the second pole and zero position of the radio frequency response signal; and determining the operating state of the smart home appliance to be controlled based on the comparison result of the first pole and zero position and the second pole and zero position.

[0083] Specifically, based on the first pole and zero positions of the acquired historical radio frequency (electromagnetic wave) signal and the second pole and zero positions of the acquired radio frequency response signal, the first pole and zero positions are compared with the second pole and zero positions. The operating status of the smart home appliance is determined by analyzing the comparison results. For example, using a single normal or abnormal electromagnetic wave signal as input, and comparing it with the electromagnetic wave signal collected during normal use, the output is the classification and operating status of the smart home appliance.

[0084] Step S140: Send radio frequency control signals to the smart home appliance to be controlled.

[0085] In this embodiment, after the control device determines the smart home appliance to be controlled based on the radio frequency response signal, it performs corresponding processing and control on each smart home appliance according to different user settings, that is, it sends radio frequency control signals to the smart home appliance to be controlled.

[0086] That is, in the method provided by the present invention, smart home appliances and control devices are networked based on radio frequency signals as a wireless communication method. This networking method can realize the synchronous transmission of signal status of multiple smart home appliances to the control device, and the control device can also control smart home appliances based on radio frequency signals, reducing the dependence of smart home appliances on local area network signals such as WiFi, and realizing unified management of smart home appliances.

[0087] The present application will now be further explained in conjunction with specific scenarios.

[0088] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a second flowchart illustrating the intelligent home appliance control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention; as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, in this scenario, the smart home appliance control method provided by this application includes:

[0089] Step S501: Collect electromagnetic waves.

[0090] In this embodiment, the control device sends out radio frequency signals such as electromagnetic waves. The radio frequency tags in each smart home appliance use radio frequency signals to provide feedback on the operating status of their respective smart home appliances. The control device collects these feedback signals and performs steps S502 and S503.

[0091] exist Figure 5 In this process, steps S502, S503, S504, and S505 are used to determine the control mode of the smart home appliances, while steps S506, S507, S508, and S509 are used to determine the control parameters of each smart home appliance.

[0092] Step S502: Perform the analysis of the bands.

[0093] In this embodiment, the control device uses filters or the like to filter the sampled electromagnetic waves to obtain the filtering result.

[0094] Step S503: Determine whether it is a combined wave.

[0095] In this embodiment, the control device determines whether the initially acquired radio frequency signal is a combined wave based on the number of sub-signals in the filtering result. A combined wave refers to at least two smart home appliances operating simultaneously. If there is only one sub-signal, the result of step S504 is negative; if there are two or more sub-signals, the result of step S505 is positive.

[0096] Step S504: Determine that the control mode of the smart home appliance is a single control scheme.

[0097] In this embodiment, if the number of sub-signals is 1, it means that only 1 smart home appliance is working, and the control device determines that the control mode of the smart home appliance is a single control scheme.

[0098] Step S505: Determine the control mode of the smart home appliance as a combined control scheme.

[0099] In this embodiment, if the number of sub-signals is two or more, it means that two or more smart home appliances are working at the same time, and the control device determines that the control mode of the smart home appliances is a combined control scheme.

[0100] This concludes the branch used to determine the control mode of smart home appliances.

[0101] Step S506: Determine the adjustment parameters of the corresponding smart home appliance based on the radio frequency signal.

[0102] In this embodiment, different smart home appliances correspond to different condition parameters. The control device determines the corresponding smart home appliance, such as an air conditioner or a fan, based on the radio frequency signal, and then determines the corresponding adjustment parameters.

[0103] Step S507: Collect external factors such as ambient temperature.

[0104] In this embodiment, the control of smart home appliances is often related to external factors such as ambient temperature. This step involves the control device collecting external factors through temperature sensors and other means.

[0105] Step S508: The central control system determines the control effect.

[0106] In this step, the overall control system of the control device identifies and predicts the real-time control effect based on the adjustment parameters and external factors.

[0107] Step S509: The central control system determines whether the optimal effect has been achieved.

[0108] In this step, the control device compares the real-time control effect obtained in the previous step with the optimal effect (which is often related to power consumption, such as the most comfortable ambient temperature). If the two are consistent, it is determined to be yes, and the control process ends. If the two are inconsistent, it is determined to be no, new adjustment parameters are generated and sent to the smart home appliance, and the process returns to step S506.

[0109] For example, to achieve the function of heat preservation and heating, the air conditioner and the fan need to work at the same time. At this time, the result of step S503 is yes, and step S505 is to determine the control mode as a combined control scheme, in which the air conditioner and the fan in the smart home appliance work together. The adjustment parameters collected in step S506 include the target temperature of the air conditioner and the speed of the fan. The external factors in step S507 are the temperatures of different areas in the room. Step S508 determines the real-time heat preservation and heating effect based on these parameters. If the expected effect is achieved, the air conditioner and the fan are put into standby mode.

[0110] For example, to achieve the dehumidification and humidification function, the humidifier needs to work alone. In this case, the result of step S503 is no, and the process proceeds to step S504 to determine that the control mode is a single control scheme, and the humidifier in the smart home appliance works alone. The adjustment parameters collected in step S506 include the power of the humidifier. The external factors in step S507 are the humidity of different areas in the room. Step S508 determines the real-time humidity based on these parameters. If the expected humidity is not reached, the humidifier is controlled to continue working.

[0111] The specific implementation methods have been explained in detail above and will not be repeated here.

[0112] As can be seen from the above scenario, in this application, smart home appliances and control devices are networked based on radio frequency signals as a wireless communication method. This networking method can realize the synchronous transmission of signal status of multiple smart home appliances to the control device, and the control device can also control smart home appliances based on radio frequency signals, reducing the dependence of smart home appliances on local area network signals such as WiFi, and realizing unified management of smart home appliances.
