Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart home technology, and in particular to a method for quickly switching rooms using a smart home app. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the smart home market, people's demand for the convenience and comfort of smart homes is also increasing. However, current smart home apps require users to find the device they want to control before they can actually control it. When there are many smart devices and rooms in the home, finding the desired device still requires some effort, which is particularly unfriendly to the elderly and children. Therefore, we have proposed a method for quickly switching rooms using a smart home app. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on the technical problems existing in the background technology, the present invention proposes a method for quickly switching rooms using a smart home APP.

[0004] This invention proposes a method for quickly switching rooms via a smart home app, comprising the following steps:

[0005] S1: Open the smart home app on your phone, bring your phone close to the NFC tag, and let your phone scan the NFC tag. The smart home app on your phone will read the NFC tag and look up the room number associated with the NFC tag in the room table of the database.

[0006] S2: If the smart home APP on the phone in S1 does not find the room number after scanning, it will remind you that the NFC tag has not been associated with a room. Then it will jump to the room setting. At this time, the associated room is set and confirmed to be saved to the room table in the database, so that the NFC tag can be associated with its corresponding room.

[0007] S3: After scanning the room table, the smart home APP on the mobile phone in S1 will automatically obtain the ID of the room.

[0008] S4: After obtaining the room ID, the smart home app on your phone can search the room's information table and retrieve the room details;

[0009] S5: After S4 acquires a room, it automatically displays the devices in that room at the top, allowing for convenient control of the devices in the current room and completing the room switching.

[0010] Preferably, in step S1, the NFC tag is pre-installed on the doorway, wall, table, or bedside area of ​​each room, and the NFC tag has a unique identifier UID.

[0011] Preferably, in step S3, after scanning, the smart home APP on the mobile phone matches the read identifier with known identifiers, and if the match is successful, it automatically finds the room table.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this invention provides users with a more convenient way to control smart homes, eliminating tedious operations such as finding rooms, and greatly improving user experience and satisfaction. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for quickly switching rooms via a smart home app, as proposed in this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0015] Example

[0016] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment proposes a method for quickly switching rooms using a smart home app, including the following steps:

[0017] S1: NFC tags are pre-installed on the door, wall, table, or bedside area of ​​each room. Each NFC tag has a unique identifier (UID). Open the smart home app on your phone, bring your phone close to the NFC tag, and let your phone scan the NFC tag. The smart home app on your phone reads the NFC tag and looks up the room number associated with the NFC tag in the room table of the database.

[0018] S2: If the smart home app on the phone in S1 does not find the room table after scanning, it will remind you that the NFC tag has not been associated with a room. Then it will jump to the room setting. At this time, the associated room is set and confirmed to be saved to the room table in the database, so that the NFC tag can be associated with its corresponding room.

[0019] S3: After scanning, the smart home APP on the mobile phone in S1 will match the read identifier with the known identifier. If the match is successful, it will automatically find the room table and automatically obtain the ID of the room.

[0020] S4: After obtaining the room ID, the smart home app on your phone can search the room's information table and retrieve the room details;

[0021] S5: After S4 acquires a room, it automatically displays the devices in that room at the top, allowing for convenient control of the devices in the current room and completing the room switching.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Claims
