Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart home system technology, such as a communication method between a mobile terminal and a smart device, a smart home system, and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, home appliances are becoming increasingly intelligent. Multiple smart home appliances (hereinafter referred to as smart devices) can form a smart home system. In a smart home system, multiple smart devices work together to create the environment required for a specific living scenario. Furthermore, smart devices can be controlled via mobile terminals such as smartphones and remote controls. For example, mobile terminals can display a device details interface, which includes the smart device's own operating parameters and / or relevant parameters that the smart device can detect. For instance, the device details interface for a smart air conditioner can display the air conditioner's operating mode, set temperature, and ambient temperature.

[0003] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this application, at least the following problems were found in the related technology:

[0004] Mobile terminals and smart devices communicate through servers, which results in low communication efficiency.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. This summary is not intended as a general commentary, nor is it intended to identify key / important components or describe the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0007] This application provides a communication method between a mobile terminal and a smart device, a smart home system, and an electronic device to improve the communication efficiency between the mobile terminal and the smart device.

[0008] In some embodiments, a communication method between a mobile terminal and a smart device is applied to the mobile terminal, and the communication method includes:

[0009] Generate relevant instructions corresponding to the access request on the device details page;

[0010] Based on the mapping between physical address (Media Access Control Address, MAC address) and Internet Protocol (IP) port, the first LAN IP-port corresponding to the device's MAC address is obtained; the device MAC address corresponds to the device details interface; the mapping between MAC address and LAN IP-port is cached by the server on the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal first accesses the device details interface; the first LAN is the LAN where the smart device is located, and the port in the first LAN IP-port can be accessed by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP);

[0011] Obtain the IP address of the second local area network where the mobile terminal is located;

[0012] When the first LAN IP address in the second LAN IP address and the first LAN IP address-port are the same or both are on the same LAN, an attempt is made to access the port in the first LAN IP address-port via TCP.

[0013] If the access result is successful, the relevant instructions are sent to the smart device via local area network pass-through.

[0014] Optionally, if the first LAN IP-port cannot be successfully obtained, the attribute protocol is parsed to obtain the LAN IP-port. The attribute protocol allows the smart device to expose data externally in the form of attributes. A key-value pair is constructed using the device MAC address as the key and the LAN IP-port as the value. The key-value pair is cached locally on the mobile terminal. Specifically, after the smart device is configured with the network, it sets the port that other network devices in the LAN can access and obtains the IP address of the first LAN it is located on, and sends the first LAN IP-port as part of the attribute protocol to the server. When the mobile terminal accesses the device details interface for the first time, the device MAC address corresponding to the device details interface and the first LAN IP-port corresponding to the device MAC address are cached locally on the mobile terminal.

[0015] Optionally, before obtaining the first local area network IP-port corresponding to the device MAC address, the communication method between the mobile terminal and the smart device further includes: determining whether the device MAC address and its corresponding first local area network IP-port have been cached; if so, obtaining the first local area network IP-port corresponding to the device MAC address; otherwise, parsing the attribute protocol to obtain the local area network IP-port therein.

[0016] Optionally, during the network configuration process of the smart device, the smart device is guided to perform network configuration; by accessing the device details interface to confirm that the smart device has been successfully configured, the device MAC address corresponding to the device details interface and the first local area network IP-port corresponding to the device MAC address are cached locally on the mobile terminal.

[0017] Optionally, the first LAN IP and the second LAN IP are both in the same LAN, including: the first LAN IP and the second LAN IP are in the same network segment.

[0018] Optionally, the communication method between the mobile terminal and the smart device also includes: in the case of access failure, sending relevant instructions to the server, and then the server forwarding the relevant instructions to the smart device.

[0019] In some embodiments, the communication method between the mobile terminal and the smart device is applied to the smart device, and the communication method includes:

[0020] Obtain relevant instructions through the established communication path;

[0021] Among them, the relevant instructions are the instructions generated by the mobile terminal on the device details interface that correspond to the access request;

[0022] The communication path is determined in the following way:

[0023] The mobile terminal obtains the first LAN IP-port corresponding to the device MAC address based on the mapping between the Media Access Control (MAC) address and the Internet Protocol (IP) port of the LAN. The device MAC address corresponds to the device details interface. The mapping between the MAC address and the LAN IP-port is cached by the server on the mobile terminal when it first accesses the device details interface. The first LAN is the LAN where the smart device is located, and the port in the first LAN IP-port can be accessed by TCP.

[0024] The mobile terminal obtains its own second local area network IP address;

[0025] When the IP address of the second LAN is the same as the IP address of the first LAN in the IP-port, the mobile terminal attempts to access the port in the IP-port of the first LAN via TCP; if the access is successful, the LAN pass-through method is used as the communication path.

[0026] In some embodiments, the communication method between the mobile terminal and the smart device is applied to a server, and the communication method includes:

[0027] When a mobile terminal first accesses the device details page, the mapping between MAC address and local area network IP-port is cached on the mobile terminal.

[0028] The device's MAC address corresponds to the device details page.

[0029] The mapping between MAC addresses and local area network (LAN) IP-ports enables mobile terminals to obtain the first LAN IP-port corresponding to the device's MAC address; the first LAN is the LAN where the smart device is located, and the port in the first LAN IP-port can be accessed by TCP.

[0030] The mobile terminal then obtains its own second local area network IP address.

[0031] When the first LAN IP in the second LAN IP and the first LAN IP-port are the same or both are on the same LAN, the mobile terminal attempts to access the port in the first LAN IP-port via TCP.

[0032] If the access result is successful, the mobile terminal sends the relevant instructions to the smart device via local area network pass-through; the relevant instructions are those generated by the mobile terminal on the device details interface that correspond to the access request.

[0033] In some embodiments, a smart home system includes a mobile terminal, a server, and smart devices;

[0034] The mobile terminal generates relevant instructions corresponding to the access request on the device details interface;

[0035] The mobile terminal obtains the first local area network (LAN) IP-port corresponding to the device's MAC address based on the mapping between MAC address and LAN IP-port. The device's MAC address corresponds to the device details interface. The mapping between MAC address and LAN IP-port is cached by the server on the mobile terminal when it first accesses the device details interface. The first LAN is the LAN where the smart device is located, and the port in the first LAN IP-port can be accessed by TCP.

[0036] The mobile terminal obtains its own second local area network IP address;

[0037] When the first LAN IP in the second LAN IP and the first LAN IP-port are the same or both are on the same LAN, the mobile terminal attempts to access the port in the first LAN IP-port via TCP.

[0038] If the access result is successful, the mobile terminal sends the relevant instructions to the smart device via local area network pass-through.

[0039] In some embodiments, the electronic device includes a processor and a memory storing program instructions, the processor being configured to execute the communication method between a mobile terminal and a smart device provided in the foregoing embodiments when executing the program instructions.

[0040] The communication method between the mobile terminal and the smart device, the smart home system, and the electronic device provided in this application can achieve the following technical effects:

[0041] Mobile terminals are configured with corresponding device details interfaces for different smart devices. There is a correspondence between the device's MAC address and the device details interface. Thus, the device's MAC address can be obtained from the device details interface. The first LAN IP-port obtained from the device MAC address represents some network characteristics of the LAN where the smart device resides and some network characteristics of the smart device itself. Obtaining the first LAN IP-port prepares for verifying the relationship between the mobile terminal and the smart device in subsequent steps. In subsequent steps, the second LAN IP of the mobile terminal is obtained. The relationship between the first and second LAN IPs, and the result of the TCP access attempt, determines the relationship between the mobile terminal and the smart device in the network. The first and second LAN IPs indicate that they are the same or on the same LAN. If the TCP access is successful, the relevant instructions are sent to the smart device via LAN pass-through. Data transmission via LAN pass-through improves efficiency.

[0042] Furthermore, in the process of determining the relationship between the mobile terminal and the smart device in the network, the mobile terminal attempts to access the port in the IP-port of the first local area network via TCP. Its purpose is to further confirm that the mobile terminal and the smart device are on the same local area network.

[0043] The initial determination of whether two LANs are identical or located on the same LAN using the first and second LAN IP addresses is highly efficient, requiring almost no network data transmission and unaffected by network bandwidth or latency. In contrast, attempting to access the port in the second LAN IP-port sequence via TCP is affected by network bandwidth and latency, resulting in a longer and less predictable access time. Therefore, determining whether the first and second LAN IP addresses are identical or on the same LAN before attempting to access the smart device via TCP reduces the overall number of TCP access attempts. This also reduces the time between generating relevant commands on the device details screen and determining whether to send the commands via LAN pass-through, thus improving the transmission efficiency of relevant commands.

[0067] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a communication method between a mobile terminal and a smart device according to an embodiment of this application. The communication method is applied to a mobile terminal, and the method is described exemplarily.

[0068] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the communication methods between mobile terminals and smart devices include:

[0069] S201. Generate relevant instructions corresponding to the access request on the device details interface.

[0070] Access requirements include, but are not limited to, control requirements and read requirements.

[0071] Based on the device details interface, relevant instructions corresponding to access requirements can be generated, such as control instructions for controlling smart devices and read instructions for reading relevant data from smart devices.

[0072] The device details interface can be configured with virtual buttons that can be triggered by the user, generating corresponding commands based on the triggering of the virtual buttons; alternatively, the device details interface can be configured with a display panel that displays the operating parameters of the smart device or the environmental parameters detected by the smart device, generating read commands to read the parameters displayed on the display panel when the device details interface is invoked.

[0073] S202. Based on the mapping relationship between MAC address and local area network IP-port, obtain the first local area network IP-port corresponding to the device MAC address.

[0074] The device's MAC address corresponds to the device details page. The mapping between the MAC address and the local area network (LAN) IP-port is cached by the server when the mobile terminal first accesses the device details page. The LAN IP-port refers to the corresponding LAN IP address and the port of the smart device within that LAN. The first LAN is the LAN where the smart device resides; the port in the first LAN's IP-port mapping can be accessed via TCP.

[0075] For example, after a smart device is configured with a network, it sets the port that other network devices in the local area network can access and obtains the IP address of the first local area network it is located in. It then sends the first local area network IP address and port as part of the attribute protocol to the server. When a mobile terminal accesses the device details interface for the first time, the mobile terminal caches the device MAC address corresponding to the device details interface and the first local area network IP address and port corresponding to the device MAC address to the mobile terminal's local storage.

[0076] The ability of a port to be accessed by TCP means that devices within a local area network can access smart devices via the port based on the TCP protocol.

[0077] The mapping between MAC addresses and local area network IP-ports is stored locally on the mobile terminal as key-value pairs, for example, in the storage space of the application (APP) used to control smart devices.

[0078] After obtaining the device MAC address corresponding to the device details page, you can obtain the first local area network IP-port by querying the device MAC address.

[0079] S203. Obtain the IP address of the second local area network where the mobile terminal is located.

[0080] S204. When the IP address of the second LAN and the IP address of the first LAN are the same or are on the same LAN, attempt to access the port in the IP address of the first LAN via TCP.

[0081] The first LAN IP address and the second LAN IP address are both in the same LAN, which can include the first LAN IP address and the second LAN IP address being in the same network segment.

[0082] S205. If the access result is successful, send the relevant instructions to the smart device via local area network pass-through.

[0083] For example, upon receiving a response from the smart device, the access is confirmed as successful.

[0084] Mobile terminals are configured with corresponding device details interfaces for different smart devices. There is a correspondence between the device's MAC address and the device details interface. Thus, the device's MAC address can be obtained from the device details interface. The first LAN IP-port obtained from the device MAC address represents some network characteristics of the LAN where the smart device resides and some network characteristics of the smart device itself. Obtaining the first LAN IP-port prepares for verifying the relationship between the mobile terminal and the smart device in subsequent steps. In subsequent steps, the second LAN IP of the mobile terminal is obtained. The relationship between the first and second LAN IPs, and the result of the TCP access attempt, determines the relationship between the mobile terminal and the smart device in the network. The first and second LAN IPs indicate that they are the same or on the same LAN. If the TCP access is successful, the relevant instructions are sent to the smart device via LAN pass-through. Data transmission via LAN pass-through improves efficiency.

[0085] Furthermore, in the process of determining the relationship between the mobile terminal and the smart device in the network, the mobile terminal attempts to access the port in the IP-port of the first local area network via TCP. Its purpose is to further confirm that the mobile terminal and the smart device are on the same local area network.

[0086] The initial determination of whether two LANs are identical or located on the same LAN using the first and second LAN IP addresses is highly efficient, requiring almost no network data transmission and unaffected by network bandwidth or latency. In contrast, attempting to access the port in the second LAN IP-port sequence via TCP is affected by network bandwidth and latency, resulting in a longer and less predictable access time. Therefore, determining whether the first and second LAN IP addresses are identical or on the same LAN before attempting to access the smart device via TCP reduces the overall number of TCP access attempts. This also reduces the time between generating relevant commands on the device details screen and determining whether to send the commands via LAN pass-through, thus improving the transmission efficiency of relevant commands.

[0087] Optionally, if the first LAN IP-port cannot be successfully obtained, the attribute protocol is parsed to obtain the LAN IP-port; a key-value pair is constructed using the device MAC address as the key and the LAN IP-port as the value; and the key-value pair is cached locally on the mobile terminal.

[0088] Among them, the attribute protocol allows smart devices to expose data in the form of attributes;

[0089] After the smart device is configured with the network, it sets the port that other network devices in the local area network can access, obtains the IP address of the first local area network it is located in, and sends the first local area network IP address and port as part of the attribute protocol to the server.

[0090] When a mobile terminal accesses the device details page for the first time, the device MAC address corresponding to the device details page and the first local area network IP-port corresponding to the device MAC address are cached locally on the mobile terminal.

[0091] As part of the attribute protocol, if the device MAC address and the corresponding first LAN IP-port are not successfully cached locally on the mobile terminal when it first accesses the device details page, the first LAN IP-port corresponding to the device MAC address is obtained by parsing the attribute protocol. There is no need to obtain the relevant data from the server again and cache it through other caching mechanisms.

[0092] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a communication method between a mobile terminal and a smart device provided in an embodiment of this application. The communication method is applied to a mobile terminal, and the method is described exemplarily.

[0095] S302. Determine whether the device MAC address and its corresponding first LAN IP-port have been cached: if yes, proceed to S303; otherwise, proceed to S307.

[0096] Optionally, during the network configuration process of smart devices, the smart devices are guided to perform network configuration; by accessing the device details interface to confirm that the smart device has been successfully configured, the device MAC address corresponding to the device details interface and the first local area network IP-port corresponding to the device MAC address are cached locally on the mobile terminal. This allows the mobile terminal to cache the device MAC address and its corresponding first local area network IP-port in a timely manner.

[0097] S303. Based on the mapping relationship between physical address (MAC address) and local area network (LAN) Internet Protocol (IP) port, obtain the first LAN IP port corresponding to the device's MAC address.

[0098] S304. Obtain the IP address of the second local area network where the mobile terminal is located.

[0099] S305. When the IP address of the second LAN and the IP address of the first LAN are the same or are on the same LAN, attempt to access the port in the IP address of the first LAN via TCP.

[0100] S306. If the access result is successful, send the relevant instructions to the smart device via local area network pass-through.

[0101] S307. Parse the attribute protocol to obtain the local area network IP-port.

[0102] The attribute protocol allows smart devices to expose data in the form of attributes.

[0104] S309. Cache the key-value pairs locally on the mobile terminal.

[0108] S402. Based on the mapping relationship between physical address (MAC address) and local area network (LAN) Internet Protocol (IP) port, obtain the first LAN IP port corresponding to the device's MAC address.

[0109] The device MAC address corresponds to the device details interface; the correspondence between the MAC address and the local area network IP-port is cached by the server when the mobile terminal first accesses the device details interface; the first local area network is the local area network where the smart device is located, and the port in the first local area network IP-port can be accessed by TCP.

[0110] S403. Obtain the IP address of the second local area network where the mobile terminal is located.

[0111] S404. When the IP address of the second LAN and the IP address of the first LAN are the same or on the same LAN, attempt to access the port in the IP address of the first LAN via TCP.

[0112] S405. If the access result is successful, send the relevant instructions to the smart device via local area network pass-through.

[0113] S406. If the access result is an access failure, the relevant instructions are sent to the server, and then the server forwards the relevant instructions to the smart device.

[0114] For example, if no response is received from the smart device, the access is confirmed as failed.

[0115] Figure 5 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a communication method between a mobile terminal and a smart device according to an embodiment of this application. The communication method is applied to a smart device, and the method is described exemplarily.

[0116] Combination Figure 5 As shown, the communication methods between mobile terminals and smart devices include:

[0117] S501: Obtain relevant instructions through the established communication path.

[0118] Among them, the relevant instructions are the instructions generated by the mobile terminal on the device details interface that correspond to the access request;

[0119] The communication path is determined in the following way:

[0120] The mobile terminal obtains the first LAN IP-port corresponding to the device MAC address based on the mapping between the Media Access Control (MAC) address and the Internet Protocol (IP) port of the LAN. The device MAC address corresponds to the device details interface. The mapping between the MAC address and the LAN IP-port is cached by the server on the mobile terminal when it first accesses the device details interface. The first LAN is the LAN where the smart device is located, and the port in the first LAN IP-port can be accessed by TCP.

[0121] The mobile terminal obtains its own second local area network IP address;

[0122] When the IP address of the second LAN is the same as the IP address of the first LAN in the IP-port, the mobile terminal attempts to access the port in the IP-port of the first LAN via TCP; if the access is successful, the LAN pass-through method is used as the communication path.

[0123] Optionally, during the network configuration process of smart devices, the network configuration is guided by a mobile terminal.

[0124] Optionally, after the smart device is configured with the network, the port that other network devices in the local area network can access is set, and the IP address of the device itself in the first local area network is obtained. The IP address and port of the first local area network are then sent to the server as part of the attribute protocol.

[0125] Optionally, if the access result is an access failure, the smart device receives relevant instructions sent by the server.

[0127] Combination Figure 6 As shown, the communication methods between mobile terminals and smart devices include:

[0128] S601. When a mobile terminal accesses the device details interface for the first time, cache the mapping between the MAC address and the local area network IP-port in the mobile terminal.

[0129] The device's MAC address corresponds to the device details page.

[0130] The mapping between MAC addresses and local area network (LAN) IP-ports enables mobile terminals to obtain the first LAN IP-port corresponding to the device's MAC address; the first LAN is the LAN where the smart device is located, and the port in the first LAN IP-port can be accessed by TCP.

[0131] The mobile terminal then obtains its own second local area network IP address.

[0132] When the first LAN IP in the second LAN IP and the first LAN IP-port are the same or both are on the same LAN, the mobile terminal attempts to access the port in the first LAN IP-port via TCP.

[0133] If the access result is successful, the mobile terminal sends the relevant instructions to the smart device via local area network pass-through; the relevant instructions are those generated by the mobile terminal on the device details interface that correspond to the access request.
