Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of centralized control equipment, and more particularly to a control method and apparatus for centralized control equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of smart devices, people are increasingly using centralized control devices to control electrical appliances such as air conditioners in their daily lives. These centralized control devices are intelligent controllers that monitor and remotely control various functions of electrical appliances. In mobile terminal device control applications, binding user accounts to centralized control devices enables intelligent management of these devices, greatly facilitating users' daily lives.

[0003] However, in related technologies, when a user needs to change the account bound to a centralized control device, the original account bound to the device must be used to unbind it. Only after the original account is unbound can the centralized control device be bound to the new account, thus completing the change of the account bound to the device. This account change process is cumbersome and affects the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a control method and apparatus for a centralized control device, which is used to change the account bound to the centralized control device according to the received account processing request when the verification information input by the user is successfully verified.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solutions:

[0006] Firstly, a control method for a centralized control device is provided, the method comprising:

[0007] Receive verification information sent by the mobile terminal device and verify the verification information;

[0008] If the verification information is successfully verified, an account processing request sent by the mobile terminal device is received, and the account processing request carries the first account.

[0009] If an account processing request indicates a change to the account bound to the centralized control device, in response to the account processing request, the binding relationship between the centralized control device and the second account is released, and the binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account is established.

[0010] The technical solution provided in this application provides at least the following beneficial effects: In related technologies, when a user needs to change the account bound to a centralized control device, they must use a second account bound to the device to unbind it. After successfully unbinding the second account, the first account is then bound to the device to change the account. During this process, if the user cannot log in to the second account, the change of the account on the centralized control device may not be possible, resulting in the user being unable to control the device and affecting the user experience. To address this, this application provides an information verification mechanism. When the verification information entered by the user on the mobile terminal device is successfully verified, the server can receive an account processing request from the mobile terminal device. If the account processing request indicates a change to the account bound to the centralized control device, the server can unbind the centralized control device from the second account and establish a new binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account. In this way, the account bound to the centralized control device can be changed without unbinding the device through a second account. This avoids situations where users cannot log in to the second account and thus cannot control the centralized control device, making it easier for users to manage the accounts bound to the centralized control device.

[0011] In some embodiments, the method further includes: when an account processing request indicates that an account bound to the central control device be added, in response to the account processing request, retaining the binding relationship between the central control device and the second account, and establishing a binding relationship between the central control device and the first account.

[0012] As can be seen from the above embodiments, when the verification information entered by the user on the mobile terminal device is successfully verified, the server can receive the account processing request sent by the mobile terminal device. If the account processing request indicates that an account bound to the centralized control device should be added, the server can establish a binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account while retaining the binding relationship between the centralized control device and the second account. This enables the function of adding an account bound to the centralized control device. In this way, the centralized control device can be controlled through multiple accounts bound to the centralized control device, improving the user experience.

[0013] In some embodiments, receiving verification information sent by a mobile terminal device and verifying the verification information includes: receiving verification information sent by a mobile terminal device and comparing the verification information with preset verification information corresponding to the centralized control device; if the verification information matches the preset verification information corresponding to the centralized control device, determining that the verification of the verification information is successful; if the verification information does not match the preset verification information corresponding to the centralized control device, determining that the verification of the verification information is unsuccessful.

[0014] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the account processing request of the centralized control device can request the server to change the account bound to the centralized control device and add a new account bound to the centralized control device. This indicates that the permission for account request processing is relatively important. By verifying the verification information, the server can only perform the corresponding operation according to the account processing request if the verification information is successfully verified. In this way, the security of controlling the centralized control device can be improved.

[0015] In some embodiments, the method further includes: in response to successful network configuration with the centralized control device, generating preset verification information corresponding to the centralized control device, wherein successful network configuration is used to characterize the centralized control device's access to the network.

[0016] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a control method for a centralized control device, the method comprising:

[0017] When the centralized control device is bound to a second account, it responds to the input of preset commands and obtains the verification information entered by the user.

[0018] Send verification information to the server so that the server can verify the verification information;

[0019] If the server successfully verifies the verification information, obtain the first account and send an account processing request to the server, which includes the first account.

[0020] In the case where a preset instruction indicates that the account bound to the centralized control device should be changed, the account processing request is used to request the server to unbind the centralized control device from the second account and establish a binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account.

[0021] In some embodiments, when a preset instruction indicates that an account bound to the centralized control device should be added, the account processing request is used to request the server to retain the binding relationship between the centralized control device and the second account, and to establish the binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account.

[0022] In some embodiments, when the centralized control device is bound to the second account, in response to the input of a preset command, obtaining the verification information input by the user includes: displaying a preset page, the preset page including an account change option and an account addition option for inputting a preset command; in response to the preset command input on the preset page, displaying a verification information input box; and receiving the verification information input in the verification information input box.

[0023] In some embodiments, when the preset instruction is entered through the account change option, the preset instruction instructs to change the account bound to the central control device; when the preset instruction is entered through the account addition option, the preset instruction instructs to add an account bound to the central control device.

[0024] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a control device for a centralized control equipment, comprising:

[0025] A communication device used to communicate with mobile terminal devices;

[0026] The controller, electrically connected to the communication device, is configured as follows:

[0027] Receive verification information sent by the mobile terminal device and verify the verification information;

[0028] If the verification information is successfully verified, an account processing request sent by the mobile terminal device is received, and the account processing request carries the first account.

[0029] If an account processing request indicates a change to the account bound to the centralized control device, in response to the account processing request, the binding relationship between the centralized control device and the second account is released, and the binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account is established.

[0030] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a control device for a centralized control equipment, comprising:

[0031] A communication device used to communicate with a server;

[0032] The controller, electrically connected to the communication device, is configured as follows:

[0033] When the centralized control device is bound to a second account, it responds to the input of preset commands and obtains the verification information entered by the user.

[0034] Send verification information to the server so that the server can verify the verification information;

[0035] If the server successfully verifies the verification information, obtain the first account and send an account processing request to the server, which includes the first account.

[0036] In the case where a preset instruction indicates that the account bound to the centralized control device should be changed, the account processing request is used to request the server to unbind the centralized control device from the second account and establish a binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account.

[0037] Fifthly, embodiments of this application provide a controller, including: one or more processors; one or more memories; wherein the one or more memories are used to store computer program code, the computer program code including computer instructions, and when the one or more processors execute the computer instructions, the controller executes the control method provided in the first or second aspect.

[0058] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0060] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0061] In this article, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

[0062] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, when describing pipelines, the terms "connected" and "connected" as used in this application have the meaning of establishing electrical conductivity. The specific meaning needs to be understood in conjunction with the context.

Specifically, the use of the words "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0065] As described in the background section, centralized control devices are increasingly used in daily life to control electrical appliances such as air conditioners. In applications using centralized control devices on mobile terminals, binding a user account to the device enables intelligent management. However, in related technologies, when a user needs to change the account bound to the centralized control device, a second account bound to the device is required to unbind it. After successfully unbinding the second account, the first account is then bound to the device to change the account. If the user cannot log in to the second account during this process, the account change may not be possible, preventing the user from controlling the device and impacting the user experience.

[0066] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a control method for a centralized control device. By setting up an information verification mechanism, when the verification information entered by the user on the mobile terminal device is successfully verified, the server can receive an account processing request sent by the mobile terminal device. If the account processing request indicates a change to the account bound to the centralized control device, the server can unbind the centralized control device from the second account and establish a binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account. In this way, the change of the account bound to the centralized control device can be achieved without unbinding the centralized control device through the second account, avoiding the situation where the user cannot log in to the second account and thus cannot control the centralized control device, facilitating the user's management of the accounts bound to the centralized control device.

[0067] In this application embodiment, the centralized control device can be an intelligent controller that monitors and remotely controls various functions of electrical equipment.

[0068] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0069] The control method for centralized control equipment provided in this application embodiment can be applied to centralized control equipment control systems. Figure 1 This illustrates one possible structure of the control system for this centralized control equipment. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the centralized control equipment control system 1 provided in this application embodiment may include: a server 100 and a mobile terminal device 200.

[0070] The server 100 communicates with the mobile terminal device 200. The connection between the server 100 and the mobile terminal device 200 can be wireless, such as Bluetooth or Wireless Fidelity (WiFi), or wired, such as fiber optic. There is no limitation on the connection method.

[0071] For example, mobile terminal device 200 establishes a communication connection with server 100 via WiFi.

[0072] In some embodiments, the server 100 can be used to receive verification information sent by a mobile terminal device and verify the verification information; if the verification information is successfully verified, the server 100 can receive an account processing request sent by the mobile terminal device, the account processing request carrying a first account; if the account processing request indicates that the account bound to the central control device be changed, the server 100 can respond to the account processing request by unbinding the central control device from the second account and establishing a binding relationship between the central control device and the first account.

[0073] Optionally, server 100 can also be used to respond to an account processing request, retain the binding relationship between the central control device and the second account, and establish a binding relationship between the central control device and the first account, when the account processing request indicates that an account bound to the central control device should be added.

[0074] Optionally, the server 100 can also be used to receive verification information sent by the mobile terminal device, compare the verification information with the preset verification information corresponding to the centralized control device; if the verification information is consistent with the preset verification information corresponding to the centralized control device, it is determined that the verification of the verification information is successful; if the verification information is inconsistent with the preset verification information corresponding to the centralized control device, it is determined that the verification of the verification information is unsuccessful.

[0075] Optionally, server 100 can also be used to generate preset verification information corresponding to the centralized control device in response to successful network configuration with the centralized control device. Successful network configuration is used to indicate that the centralized control device has accessed the network.

[0076] In some embodiments, the mobile terminal device 200 can be used to, in response to a preset input instruction, obtain user-input verification information when the centralized control device is bound to a second account; send the verification information to the server so that the server can verify the verification information; and if the server successfully verifies the verification information, obtain the first account and send an account processing request to the server, the account processing request carrying the first account.

[0077] Specifically, when a preset instruction indicates a change to the account bound to the central control device, the account processing request is used to request the server to unbind the central control device from the second account and establish a binding relationship between the central control device and the first account. When a preset instruction indicates a new account bound to the central control device, the account processing request is used to request the server to retain the binding relationship between the central control device and the second account and establish a binding relationship between the central control device and the first account.

[0078] Optionally, the mobile terminal device 200 can also be used to display a preset page, which includes an account change option and an account addition option for inputting preset commands; in response to the preset commands input on the preset page, display a verification information input box; and receive verification information input in the verification information input box.

[0079] Specifically, when the preset command is entered through the account change option, the preset command instructs to change the account bound to the central control device; when the preset command is entered through the account addition option, the preset command instructs to add an account bound to the central control device.

[0080] In this embodiment, server 100 may be an independent physical server, a server cluster or distributed device composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides cloud services, cloud data warehouses, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDN), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0081] In this embodiment of the application, the mobile terminal device 200 can be any electronic device that can establish a communication connection with the server 100, such as a laptop, tablet computer, mobile phone, or laptop computer. Figure 1 The mobile terminal device 200 in this embodiment is merely an illustration, and the specific form of the mobile terminal device 200 is not limited in this application.

[0082] The basic hardware structure of the server 100 and the mobile terminal device 200 is similar, both including Figure 2 The components included in the computing device shown. The following are examples... Figure 2 Taking the computing device shown as an example, the hardware structure of server 100 and mobile terminal device 200 will be introduced.

[0083] In some embodiments, the computing device may include a processor 201, a memory 202, a communication interface 203, and a bus 204. The processor 201, the memory 202, and the communication interface 203 may be connected via the bus 204.

[0084] Processor 201 is the control center of the computing device. It can be a single processor or a collective term for multiple processing elements. For example, processor 201 can be a general-purpose central processing unit (CPU) or other general-purpose processors. Among them, the general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor or any conventional processor.

[0085] As one embodiment, processor 201 may include one or more CPUs, for example Figure 2 CPU 0 and CPU 1 are shown in the diagram.

[0086] The memory 202 may be a read-only memory (ROM) or other type of static storage device capable of storing static information and instructions, random access memory (RAM) or other type of dynamic storage device capable of storing information and instructions, or electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), disk storage media or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium capable of carrying or storing desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and accessible by a computer, but is not limited thereto.

[0087] In one possible implementation, the memory 202 can exist independently of the processor 201. The memory 202 can be connected to the processor 201 via a bus 204 and is used to store instructions or program code. When the processor 201 calls and executes the instructions or program code stored in the memory 202, it can implement the control method of the centralized control device provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0088] In another possible implementation, the memory 202 can also be integrated with the processor 201.

[0089] The communication interface 203 is used for connecting the computing device to other devices via a communication network, which may be Ethernet, radio access network (RAN), wireless local area network (WLAN), etc. The communication interface 203 may include a receiving unit for receiving data and a transmitting unit for transmitting data.

[0090] Bus 204 can be an Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus, a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus, or an Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus, etc. This bus can be divided into address bus, data bus, control bus, etc. For ease of representation, Figure 2 The bus is represented by a single thick line, but this does not mean that there is only one bus or one type of bus.

[0091] It should be pointed out that, Figure 2 The structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the computing device, except Figure 2 In addition to the components shown, the computing device may include more or fewer components than illustrated, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0092] Continue as Figure 1 As shown, the centralized control equipment control system 1 provided in this application embodiment may further include centralized control equipment 300.

[0093] In some embodiments, the central control device 300 connects to the Internet via a router, thereby establishing a communication connection with the mobile terminal device 200. The central control device 300 is typically installed near the entrance door or in the master bedroom for remote control of home appliances. Figure 3 As shown, the centralized control device 300 includes: a housing 301, a display device 302, a communication device 303, and a controller 304 (the communication device 303 and the controller 304 are located within the housing). Figure 3 (Not shown in the image). Among them, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the controller 304 of the centralized control equipment is electrically connected to the display device 302 and the communication device 303.

[0094] In some embodiments, the housing 301 may be as follows: Figure 3 The shape shown is approximately a cuboid, but it can also be other shapes.

[0095] In some embodiments, the display device 302 can be used to display the operating status of home appliances to users, and can also be used to display preset pages to users. For example, the display device 302 displays a binding QR code so that the mobile terminal device can bind to the central control device by recognizing the binding QR code on the central control device.

[0096] Optionally, when the display device and touchpad are stacked on top of each other in layers to form a touchscreen, the display device 302 can be used as both an input and output device. The display device 302 may include at least one of a liquid crystal display (LCD), a thin-film transistor LCD (TFT-LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, a flexible display, a three-dimensional (3D) display, etc. Some of these displays can be constructed to be transparent to allow users to view them from the outside; this can be called a transparent display. A typical transparent display could be, for example, a TOLED (Transparent Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display, etc. The touchscreen can be used to detect touch input pressure, touch input position, and touch input area. The display device can transmit user commands to the controller based on the user's touch input to achieve human-computer interaction functions. The specific type, size, and resolution of the display device are not limited; however, those skilled in the art will understand that the display device can be modified in terms of performance and configuration as needed.

[0097] The communication device 303 is used to establish a communication connection with the mobile terminal device 200.

[0098] In some embodiments, the controller of the centralized control device is used to display a centralized control page when the centralized control device is bound to a second account, and is also used to send a request to the server to unbind the account in response to an unbinding account command entered on the centralized control page.

[0099] The controller of a centralized control device refers to a device that can generate operation control signals based on instruction opcodes and timing signals, instructing the centralized control device 300 to execute control commands. For example, the controller of a centralized control device can be a central processing unit (CPU), a network processor (NP), a digital signal processor (DSP), a microprocessor, a microcontroller, a programmable logic device (PLD), or any combination thereof. The controller of a centralized control device can also be other devices with processing functions, such as circuits, devices, or software modules; this application embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.

[0100] In some embodiments, the controller of the centralized control device can be a microcontroller unit (MCU). An MCU, also known as a single-chip microcomputer, is a chip-level computer that integrates a central processing unit (CPU) with appropriately reduced frequency and specifications, along with peripheral interfaces such as memory, timer, USB, A / D converter, UART, PLC, DMA, and even LCD driver circuitry, all onto a single chip. This allows for different combinations of control for various applications.

[0101] In addition, the controller of the centralized control equipment can be used to control the operation of each component in the centralized control equipment 300, so that each component of the centralized control equipment 300 can operate to realize the predetermined functions of the centralized control equipment 300.

[0102] In some embodiments, continue as follows Figure 3 As shown, the centralized control device 300 may further include: a memory 305 (the memory 305 contains...) Figure 3 (not shown in the image) and human-computer interaction device 306, continuing as follows Figure 4 As shown, the memory 305 and the human-machine interface device 306 are electrically connected to the controller 304 of the centralized control equipment.

[0103] In some embodiments, memory 305 may store software programs, etc., that perform processing and control operations executed by controller 304 of the centralized control device, or may temporarily store data that has been output or will be output (e.g., user-input verification information, etc.). Memory 305 may be read-only memory (ROM) or other types of static storage devices that can store static information and instructions, random access memory (RAM) or other types of dynamic storage devices that can store information and instructions, or electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), disk storage media or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium capable of carrying or storing desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures that can be accessed by a computer, but is not limited thereto.

[0104] In some embodiments, the human-computer interaction device 306 is used to enable interaction with the display device 302. The human-computer interaction device 306 may include one or more of physical buttons or a touch screen display panel. Users can interact with air conditioners or other home appliances through the human-computer interaction device 306 to control the operating status of the air conditioners and other home appliances.

[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the centralized control equipment control system 1 may also include at least one air conditioning unit (including an indoor unit and an outdoor unit) and at least one wired controller, wherein at least one air conditioning unit is connected to the centralized control equipment through an air conditioning communication bus, and the wired controller is connected to the corresponding indoor air conditioning unit.

[0106] like Figure 6 As shown in the figure, this application illustrates an application scenario of a centralized control equipment control system 1. The following is a combination of... Figure 6 The working process of the centralized control equipment control system 1 in this application is described as follows:

[0107] The centralized control device displays the bound QR code;

[0108] Mobile terminal devices can identify the binding QR code in the centralized control device to bind an account to the centralized control device;

[0109] When the centralized control device is bound to the second account, the mobile terminal device responds to the input preset command, obtains the verification information input by the user, and then the mobile terminal device server sends the verification information.

[0110] The server receives the verification information sent by the mobile terminal device and verifies the verification information.

[0111] If the verification information is successfully verified, the mobile terminal device obtains the first account and sends an account processing request to the server.

[0112] If an account processing request indicates a change to the account bound to the centralized control device, the server responds to the account processing request by unbinding the centralized control device from the second account and establishing a binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account.

[0113] When an account processing request indicates that an account bound to the central control device should be added, the server responds to the account processing request by retaining the binding relationship between the central control device and the second account, and establishing a binding relationship between the central control device and the first account.

[0114] It is understood that the structures illustrated in the embodiments of the present invention do not constitute a specific limitation on the control device of the centralized control equipment. In other embodiments of this application, the control device of the centralized control equipment may include more or fewer components than illustrated, or combine some components, or split some components, or have different component arrangements. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0115] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0116] like Figure 7As shown in the figure, this application provides a control method for a centralized control device, applied to a server communicatively connected to the centralized control device. The method includes the following steps:

[0117] S101. Receive the verification information sent by the mobile terminal device and verify the verification information.

[0118] The verification information can be entered by the user in the control application of the centralized control device on the mobile terminal.

[0119] For example, the verification information could be an administrator identification code consisting of letters and numbers.

[0120] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the above step S101 can be specifically implemented as S1011-S1012.

[0121] S1011. Receive verification information sent by the mobile terminal device and compare the verification information with the preset verification information corresponding to the centralized control device.

[0122] Optionally, when the centralized control device is successfully configured on the network, the server generates preset verification information corresponding to the centralized control device.

[0123] For example, the preset verification information could be a 6-digit administrator identification code automatically generated by the server when the centralized control device is successfully configured to the network for the first time, and the server sending the administrator identification code to the centralized control device when the centralized control device is successfully configured to the network.

[0124] S1012. If the verification information is consistent with the preset verification information corresponding to the centralized control equipment, the verification of the verification information is confirmed to be successful.

[0125] Optionally, if the verification information is inconsistent with the preset verification information corresponding to the centralized control device, it is determined that the verification of the verification information is unsuccessful, and new verification information sent by the mobile device is received again.

[0126] S102. If the verification information is successfully verified, receive the account processing request sent by the mobile terminal device.

[0127] The account processing request carries the first account, and includes requests to change the account bound to the central control device and requests to add a new account bound to the central control device.

[0128] As one possible approach, the first account is entered by the user on the mobile device, or selected by the user from accounts saved on the mobile device.

[0129] S103. In the event that the account processing request indicates a change to the account bound to the centralized control device, in response to the account processing request, the binding relationship between the centralized control device and the second account is released, and the binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account is established.

[0130] Optionally, after the server unbinds the centralized control device from the second account and establishes the binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account, the current account binding status of the centralized control device is synchronized to the mobile terminal device and the centralized control device.

[0131] In some embodiments, when an account processing request indicates that an account bound to the central control device be added, in response to the account processing request, the binding relationship between the central control device and the second account is maintained, and the binding relationship between the central control device and the first account is established.

[0132] The number of second accounts can be one or more.

[0133] Optionally, after the server adds an account bound to the centralized control device, the current account binding status of the centralized control device is synchronized to the mobile terminal device and the centralized control device.

[0134] When the verification information entered by the user on the mobile terminal device is successfully verified, the server can receive the account processing request sent by the mobile terminal device. If the account processing request indicates that an account bound to the central control device should be added, the server can establish a binding relationship between the central control device and the first account while retaining the binding relationship between the central control device and the second account. This enables the function of adding accounts bound to the central control device. In this way, the central control device can be controlled through multiple accounts bound to it, improving the user experience.

[0135] Figure 7The illustrated embodiment offers at least the following advantages: In related technologies, when a user needs to change the account bound to a centralized control device, they must use a second account bound to the device to unbind it. After successfully unbinding the second account, the first account is then bound to the device to change the account. During this process, if the user cannot log in with the second account, the change of the account cannot be made, preventing the user from controlling the device and impacting their user experience. To address this, this embodiment establishes an information verification mechanism. When the verification information entered by the user on the mobile terminal device is successfully verified, the server receives an account processing request from the mobile terminal device. If the account processing request indicates a change to the account bound to the centralized control device, the server can unbind the centralized control device from the second account and establish a new binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account. In this way, the account bound to the centralized control device can be changed without unbinding the device through a second account. This avoids situations where users cannot log in to the second account and thus cannot control the centralized control device, making it easier for users to manage the accounts bound to the centralized control device.

[0136] In some embodiments, the control method for a centralized control device provided in this application further includes the following steps: in response to successful network configuration with the centralized control device, generating preset verification information corresponding to the centralized control device. Wherein, successful network configuration indicates that the centralized control device has accessed the network.

[0137] Optionally, after the server generates preset verification information, the preset verification information is sent to the centralized control device and displayed on the display device of the centralized control device.

[0138] For example, such as Figure 9 As shown, the centralized control device displays a QR code for network configuration. Users scan the QR code using a control application on their mobile devices to configure the network on the centralized control device, thus successfully configuring the network. After successful network configuration, the server automatically generates preset verification information (administrator identification code) and sends it to the centralized control device. Figure 10 As shown, after successful network distribution, the centralized control device displays the message "Network distribution successful!" and the message "Please check the administrator identification code, xxxxxx".

[0139] This application also provides a control method for a centralized control device, applied to a mobile terminal device communicating with a server. The method includes the following steps:

[0140] S201. When the centralized control device is bound to the second account, it responds to the input preset command and obtains the verification information input by the user.

[0141] Optionally, the mobile terminal device can determine whether the centralized control device is bound to the second account by recognizing the binding QR code on the centralized control device.

[0142] In some embodiments, step S201 can be specifically implemented as steps S2011-S2013.

[0143] S2011, Display the preset page.

[0144] Among them, such as Figure 11 As shown, the default page includes options for changing accounts and adding new accounts.

[0145] S2012. In response to a preset command entered on a preset page, display a verification information input box.

[0146] The preset command is the command entered through the account change option or the account addition option. When the preset command is entered through the account change option, the preset command instructs to change the account bound to the central control device; when the preset command is entered through the account addition option, the preset command instructs to add an account bound to the central control device.

[0147] For example, such as Figure 12 As shown, after the user selects the account change option, a verification information input box is displayed so that the user can enter verification information.

[0148] S2013. Receive the verification information entered in the verification information input box.

[0149] Optionally, after receiving the verification information entered in the verification information input box, the verification information is sent to the server.

[0150] Optionally, when the type of verification information entered in the received verification information input box does not conform to the preset format of verification information, the mobile terminal device displays the prompt message "Verification information format is incorrect, please re-enter" on the control application. The preset format of verification information may include numbers, letters, etc.

[0151] S202. Send verification information to the server so that the server can verify the verification information.

[0152] S203. If the server successfully verifies the verification information, obtain the first account and send an account processing request to the server, with the account processing request carrying the first account.

[0153] In the case where a preset instruction indicates that the account bound to the centralized control device should be changed, the account processing request is used to request the server to unbind the centralized control device from the second account and establish a binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account.

[0154] When a preset instruction instructs the addition of an account bound to the centralized control device, the account processing request is used to request the server to retain the binding relationship between the centralized control device and the second account, and to establish the binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account.

[0155] This application also provides a control method for a centralized control device, applied to the controller of the centralized control device, the method comprising the following steps:

[0156] S301. When the centralized control device is bound to a second account, the centralized control page is displayed.

[0157] The centralized control page includes an option to unbind an account.

[0158] For example, such as Figure 13 As shown, the mobile terminal device scans the binding QR code on the central control page through the control application of the central control device. When the central control device has been bound to a second account, the central control page displays the prompt message "This device has been bound by user xxx", the binding QR code, the account unbinding option, and the return option.

[0159] S302. In response to the unbinding account command entered on the centralized control page, send a request to the server to unbind the account.

[0160] The command to unbind an account is used to request the server to unbind the centralized control device from the second account.

[0161] In some embodiments, after the server unbinds the centralized control device from the second account, the centralized control device updates the binding QR code on the centralized control page so that the new account can bind to the centralized control device through the binding QR code.

[0162] Optional, such as Figure 14 As shown, after the server unbinds the centralized control device from the second account, the centralized control device displays an updated binding QR code and a message saying "Device unbinding successful, please scan the QR code to bind".

[0163] The following is combined with Figure 15 This application describes a control method for a centralized control device.

[0164] Users can scan the binding QR code displayed on the centralized control device using their primary account on their mobile terminal device.

[0165] The centralized control device displays whether a second account has been bound.

[0166] If the centralized control device is not bound to a second account, it will display that the centralized control device is not bound.

[0167] If the centralized control device is already bound to a second account, obtain the input verification information (administrator identification code);

[0168] The server receives the verification information and verifies it.

[0169] If the verification information fails to be verified, obtain the verification information to be re-entered;

[0170] The verification process is locked after three unsuccessful verification attempts.

[0171] If the verification information is successfully verified, and the user selects the account change option on the mobile terminal device, the mobile terminal device sends an account change processing request to the server.

[0172] The server unbinds the centralized control device from the second account and establishes a binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account.

[0173] The server synchronizes the current binding status of the centralized control device to the mobile terminal device and the centralized control device;

[0174] Account change completed.

[0175] If the centralized control device is already bound to a second account, obtain the input verification information (administrator identification code);

[0176] The server receives the verification information and verifies it.

[0177] If the verification information fails, retrieve the verification information that needs to be re-entered;

[0178] The verification process is locked after three failed verification attempts.

[0179] If the verification information is successfully verified, and the user selects the account addition option on the mobile terminal device, the mobile terminal device sends an account addition processing request to the server.

[0180] The server retains the binding relationship between the centralized control device and the second account, and establishes a binding relationship between the centralized control device and the first account;

[0181] The server synchronizes the current binding status of the centralized control device to the mobile terminal device and the centralized control device;

[0182] Account creation is complete.
