[0054] The embodiments of the present specification provide a control method, device, system and equipment, the method comprises: the cloud end sends a first data request for target scene information to a first device bound to a Bluetooth control device, so that the first device determines a communication state with the Bluetooth control device based on the first data request, wherein the target scene information is saved in the Bluetooth control device; if the first device fails to communicate with the Bluetooth control device, a second device maintaining normal communication with the Bluetooth control device is determined, wherein the second device is bound to the Bluetooth control device; a second data request for the target scene information is sent to the second device, so that the second device requests the target scene information from the Bluetooth control device based on the second data request, and forwards the target scene information to the cloud end; based on the target scene information, the cloud end generates a control parameter of the first device, and delivers the control parameter to the first device.

[0055] In the present scheme, when the cloud end needs to use the target scene information in the process of controlling the first device, if the first device interrupts communication with the Bluetooth control device, the target scene information can be obtained through the second device in normal communication with the Bluetooth control device, so as to realize normal control of the first device, avoid control failure caused by interruption of communication between the first controlled device and the Bluetooth control terminal, improve the stability of the cloud end control device, and further improve the user experience.

[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0057] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like in the description and claims of the application and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily indicate a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the application described herein can be implemented in other than the order illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0058] In order to better understand the control method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the use scene of the present application is described as follows: Figure 1 The control system provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in the figure, which can include a cloud, a plurality of devices, and a Bluetooth control device.

[0059] Specifically, each device is provided with a Bluetooth module and a cloud communication module, which can be a WIFI module, of course, it can also be other communication modules, which are not limited here. The device establishes a connection with the Bluetooth control device through the Bluetooth module, and establishes a connection with the cloud through the cloud communication module. The plurality of devices in the system can include devices that have been bound with the Bluetooth control device, and can also include devices that have not been bound with the Bluetooth control device. When the device is bound with the Bluetooth control device, the Bluetooth control device can control the operation of the device, and the device that has not been bound cannot be controlled by the Bluetooth control device. In addition, each device can be connected to the cloud through network configuration, and the device connected to the cloud can be controlled by the cloud.

[0060] The Bluetooth control device, specifically, can be a Bluetooth remote control, a sensor or other Bluetooth peripheral, which is not limited here. A plurality of sensors can be provided in the Bluetooth control device as needed, such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, etc., and the data collected by the sensors can be used to control the bound devices.

[0061] The cloud can communicate with the connected devices through the cloud communication module, and for each device, the cloud can generate a set of control logic corresponding to each device, and the cloud can control each device through the corresponding control logic. For example, when the plurality of devices are all air conditioners, the cloud can calculate the temperature control curve of each air conditioner under different function modes for each air conditioner, and control the operation of each air conditioner based on the temperature control curve.

[0062] It should be noted that for the device bound with the Bluetooth control device, the control of the bound device can be realized through the cloud or through the Bluetooth control device. The control in the embodiments of the present specification is not only that the user sends preset control parameters to the device through the preset function keys on the Bluetooth control device or sends preset control parameters to the device through the cloud based on the preset function options displayed by the control system client program installed on the user terminal. The control in the embodiments of the present specification can also be that the device is controlled according to the cloud algorithm and / or the local algorithm saved on the Bluetooth control device, and the control parameter recorded on the Bluetooth controller can also be extracted in the process of cloud control.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present specification, the scene information of the bound device is recorded in the Bluetooth control device, and the scene information can be used for the control of the bound device by the Bluetooth control device, or the cloud can obtain the scene information saved on the Bluetooth control device through the bound device when controlling the device. Taking an air conditioner as the device and a remote controller of the air conditioner as the Bluetooth control device as an example, the scene information includes but is not limited to: recording the control parameters of user habits, such as recording the default values of the start temperature of the air conditioner; recording the control values of one-key entering a certain mode, such as recording the control values of the air conditioner one-key entering the sleep mode; the parameter values recorded on the Bluetooth control device in the process of cloud algorithm control; the parameter values recorded on the Bluetooth control device in the process of air conditioner algorithm control; the corresponding parameter values recorded by the local algorithm of the Bluetooth control device when starting.

[0064] As Figure 2 The flow chart of the control method provided by the embodiments of the present specification is shown in the figure, and the method is applied to the cloud and includes the following steps:

[0065] Step S201: sending a first data request for target scene information to a first device bound with a Bluetooth control device, so that the first device determines the communication state with the Bluetooth control device based on the first data request, wherein the target scene information is saved in the Bluetooth control device;

[0066] Step S202: if the first device fails to communicate with the Bluetooth control device, determining a second device maintaining normal communication with the Bluetooth control device, wherein the second device is bound with the Bluetooth control device;

[0067] Step S203: sending a second data request for the target scene information to the second device, so that the second device requests the target scene information from the Bluetooth control device based on the second data request, and forwards the target scene information to the cloud;

[0068] Step S204: generating the control parameter of the first device based on the target scene information, and delivering the control parameter to the first device.

[0069] In the embodiments of the present specification, multiple devices in the control system are in a binding state with the Bluetooth control device, and a connection is established with the cloud, that is, multiple devices in the control system can be controlled by the Bluetooth control device or the cloud at the same time. During the process of controlling the device by the cloud, the scene information recorded on the Bluetooth control device may be used. At this time, the data request needs to be initiated by the controlled device to the Bluetooth control device to obtain the scene information. However, when the communication between the controlled device and the Bluetooth control device is interrupted, the controlled device cannot obtain the scene information, which further causes the cloud to fail to normally generate the control parameter of the controlled device, resulting in deviation of the control of the controlled device. In order to avoid this situation, the method provided by the embodiments of the present specification can be used to ensure the normal acquisition of the scene information, and further ensure the normal control of the controlled device.

[0070] It should be noted that the multiple devices capable of being bound with the Bluetooth control device in the embodiments of the present specification can be devices of the same type, for example, the multiple devices are all air conditioners or all fresh air machines. The multiple devices can also be devices of different types, for example, the multiple devices can include air conditioners, fresh air machines, televisions, and the like, which are not limited herein. In order to facilitate the description, in the embodiments of the present specification, the multiple devices are taken as air conditioners for example to introduce the control process of the device.

[0071] In step S201, the first device is a device that has been bound with the Bluetooth control device, and the first device also establishes a connection with the cloud. When the first device is in a cloud control state, the cloud can generate the control parameter of the first device in real time and deliver it to the first device.

[0072] The target scene information can be scene information corresponding to the first device, for example, the target scene information can include user usage habit information corresponding to the first device, a control algorithm recorded on the Bluetooth control device called by the first device when performing certain functions, and the like. Of course, the target scene information can also include other information, which is not limited herein.

[0073] During the process of controlling the first device by the cloud, if the target scene parameter needs to be used, the cloud can send a first data request to the first device, the purpose of which is to obtain the target scene information from the Bluetooth control device through the first device. After receiving the first data request, the first device can determine whether the Bluetooth control device can be searched.

[0074] For example, if the Bluetooth control device is a Bluetooth remote controller, the Bluetooth remote controller can be bound to multiple air conditioners of the same family. When the cloud controls the air conditioner 1, if the target scene information needs to be used, the cloud sends a first data request to the air conditioner 1, and the air conditioner 1 searches for the Bluetooth remote controller after receiving the first data request. Generally, if the Bluetooth remote controller is in the same room as the air conditioner 1 or is close to the air conditioner 1, the Bluetooth remote controller can normally communicate with the Bluetooth control device, and if the Bluetooth remote controller is in another room far away from the air conditioner 1, the Bluetooth remote controller can not receive the signal transmitted by the air conditioner 1, resulting in communication failure between the air conditioner 1 and the Bluetooth remote controller.

[0075] It should be noted that when the Bluetooth control device is bound to multiple devices, if the Bluetooth control device continuously communicates with the devices for a long time, the Bluetooth control device can consume a large power consumption. In order to reduce power consumption, the Bluetooth control device can establish a connection with the devices according to a preset frequency. For example, the Bluetooth control device transmits a Bluetooth signal to the devices according to a preset frequency, and the bound devices feed back a response signal to the Bluetooth control device after receiving the Bluetooth signal transmitted by the Bluetooth control device. Alternatively, the bound devices transmit a Bluetooth signal to the environment according to a preset frequency, and the Bluetooth control device feeds back a response signal to the bound devices after receiving the signal. In the embodiments of the present application, if the first device does not detect the Bluetooth signal (including the response signal actively transmitted or fed back) transmitted by the Bluetooth control device within a preset time period, it can be determined that the communication state between the first device and the Bluetooth control device is communication failure, that is, the first device cannot search for the Bluetooth control device. The preset time period can be set according to specific needs, for example, the preset time period is 3 minutes, 5 minutes, etc.

[0076] In step S202, if the first device cannot search for the Bluetooth control device and communication failure occurs, the first device can send a search request for the Bluetooth control device to the cloud, and the cloud determines a second device that normally communicates with the Bluetooth control device after receiving the search request.

[0077] In the specific implementation process, step S202 can be implemented by the following steps: based on N devices bound to the Bluetooth control device, a communication state detection request is sent to each device of the N devices, N is a positive integer; receiving the communication state of the Bluetooth control device fed back by each device, and determining the second device with normal communication from the N devices based on the communication state of each device and the Bluetooth control device.

[0078] Specifically, the cloud can record the device information bound with the Bluetooth control device. For example, if the devices bound with the Bluetooth control device are device 1, device 2 and device 3 respectively, the first device is device 1, if device 1 cannot communicate with the Bluetooth control device, the cloud sends a communication state detection request to device 2 and device 3. Device 2 and device 3 determine whether they can communicate with the Bluetooth control device, and the specific manner in which device 2 and device 3 determine the communication state of the Bluetooth control device can refer to the above description, which will not be repeated here. After obtaining the respective communication states, device 2 and device 3 send them to the cloud, and the cloud determines the second device that can normally communicate with the Bluetooth control device from them.

[0079] In the specific implementation process, if there are multiple devices that can normally communicate with the Bluetooth control device, for example, continuing to use the above example, if device 2 and device 3 can both normally communicate with the Bluetooth control device, one of them can be randomly selected as the second device. Alternatively, the signal strengths of the Bluetooth signals received by device 2 and device 3 from the Bluetooth control device can be obtained, and the device with the strongest signal strength can be selected as the second device.

[0080] In step S203, after determining the second device, the cloud sends a second data request to the second device, and the second device sends an acquisition request for the target scene information to the Bluetooth control device after receiving the second data request. The Bluetooth control device sends the target scene information to the second device, and the second device sends the received target scene information to the cloud.

[0081] In the embodiments of the present specification, the second device and the Bluetooth control device can be in a low-power communication state. In one embodiment, the second device and the Bluetooth control device can not establish a connection when there is no communication demand, and the second device communicates with the Bluetooth control device again after receiving the second data request, so as to reduce the power consumption of the Bluetooth control device. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the second device can communicate with the Bluetooth control device at a lower frequency, and can not establish communication at other times. In this way, the power consumption of the Bluetooth control device can be reduced.

[0082] In step S204, after receiving the target scene information, the cloud can generate the control parameter of the first device based on the target scene information, and send it to the first device, so as to ensure normal control of the first device.

[0083] In the embodiments of the present specification, the target scene information can be dynamic update information or non-dynamic update information. For example, the dynamic update information can be parameter information generated in real time according to the local control algorithm of the Bluetooth control device, or environmental parameters collected in real time by the Bluetooth control device. The non-dynamic update information can be a preset parameter configured.

[0084] In a specific implementation process, if the target scene information is dynamic update information, after generating the control parameter of the first device in this round according to the currently obtained target scene information, the following steps can be further performed: when performing the next round of control on the first device, sending a third data request for the target scene information to the second device, so that the second device requests the latest target scene information from the Bluetooth control device based on the third data request, and forwards the latest target scene information to the cloud; based on the received latest target scene information, generating the next round of control parameter of the first device, and delivering the next round of control parameter to the first device.

[0085] Specifically, since the target scene information is real-time changing, the target scene information needs to be reacquired every time the control parameter of the first device is generated, that is, every time a new control parameter needs to be generated, a third data request is sent to the second device, and the latest target scene information is acquired through the link between the cloud, the second device and the Bluetooth control device.

[0086] For the case where the target scene information is non-dynamic update information, the following steps can be performed: saving the target scene information sent by the second device in the cloud, and when performing the next round of control on the first device, generating the next round of control parameter of the first device based on the target scene information stored in the cloud, and delivering the next round of control parameter to the first device.

[0087] Specifically, when the target scene information is non-dynamic update information, the target scene information can be directly saved to the cloud, and in the subsequent control process of the first device, the control information is generated through the target scene information saved in the cloud.

[0088] In the embodiments of the present specification, when the first device and the Bluetooth control device are in communication interruption, the first device can also attempt to establish communication with the Bluetooth control device at a certain frequency. In an embodiment, the first device can emit a Bluetooth signal to the environment at a pre-set frequency (for example, a first frequency), and detect whether a feedback signal of the Bluetooth control device is received. If the feedback signal is detected, it indicates that the first device and the Bluetooth control device have resumed communication.

[0089] After the first device and the Bluetooth control device resume communication, the following steps can be performed: receiving the target scene information sent by the first device, and generating the control parameter of the first device based on the target scene information sent by the first device.

[0090] Specifically, after the first device and the Bluetooth controller re-establish communication, the first device can obtain target scene information from the Bluetooth controller without needing to request data through the second device. The first device sends a data acquisition request to the Bluetooth controller, receives the target scene information from the Bluetooth controller, and then uploads the target scene information to the cloud.

[0091] It should be noted that if the target scene information is non-dynamically updated information already stored in the cloud, the control parameters will still be generated based on the target scene information already stored in the cloud after the first device and the Bluetooth control device resume communication, without needing to retrieve it again through the first device. If the target scene information is dynamically updated information, the latest target scene information can be obtained in real time through the first device.

[0092] In the embodiments of this specification, if the cloud needs to continuously obtain target scene information through the second device during the control of the first device, the second device can also continuously detect the communication status between the second device and the Bluetooth control device during this process. If the user moves the Bluetooth control device to another location, causing the second device to communicate with the Bluetooth control device, the cloud can again determine the third device that is currently communicating normally with the Bluetooth control device, and obtain the target scene information through the third device to ensure normal control of the first device.

[0093] In summary, in the solutions provided by the embodiments of this specification, when communication between the controlled first device and the Bluetooth control device is interrupted, the cloud can still obtain target scene information through other devices communicating with the Bluetooth control device, ensuring the accuracy and stability of control over the first device. In the embodiments of this specification, after communication between the first device and the Bluetooth control device is interrupted, the Bluetooth control device does not need to increase its power to restore communication. Instead, it obtains scene information through other bound devices that can maintain communication with the Bluetooth control device. This allows the Bluetooth control device to transmit data with other bound devices via low-power communication, achieving low-power communication for the Bluetooth control device.

[0094] like Figure 3 As shown, this specification provides a control method applied in a control system. The method includes the following steps:

[0095] Step S301: The cloud sends a first data request for target scene information to the first device bound to the Bluetooth control device, wherein the target scene information is stored in the Bluetooth control device;

[0096] Step S302: The first device determines the communication status with the Bluetooth control device based on the first data request;

[0097] Step S303: If the communication state between the first device and the Bluetooth control device is communication failure, the cloud determines a second device which maintains normal communication with the Bluetooth control device, and sends a second data request for the target scene information to the second device, wherein the second device is bound with the Bluetooth control device;

[0098] Step S304: The second device requests the target scene information from the Bluetooth control device based on the second data request, and forwards the target scene information to the cloud;

[0099] Step S305: The cloud generates the control parameter of the first device based on the target scene information, and sends the control parameter to the first device.

[0100] In some embodiments, the determination of the communication state with the Bluetooth control device comprises:

[0101] If the first device does not detect the Bluetooth signal sent by the Bluetooth control device within a preset time length, it is determined that the communication state between the first device and the Bluetooth control device is communication failure.

[0102] In some embodiments, before the determination of the second device which maintains normal communication with the Bluetooth control device, the method further comprises: if the first device fails to communicate with the Bluetooth control device, the first device sends a search request for the Bluetooth control device to the cloud;

[0103] The determination of the second device which maintains normal communication with the Bluetooth control device comprises: the cloud determines the second device which maintains normal communication with the Bluetooth control device in response to the search request sent by the first device.

[0104] For the method corresponding to the control system, it has been described in detail in the above method corresponding to the cloud. In order to better understand the control method corresponding to the control system, the following takes the Bluetooth control device as a Bluetooth remote controller, the Bluetooth control device binds the air conditioner 1, the air conditioner 2 and the air conditioner 3 located in the same family, and the air conditioner 1 is controlled by the cloud as an example to describe the steps executed by the control system, please refer to Figure 4 , which specifically comprises the following steps:

[0105] Step S401: The air conditioner 1 is controlled by the cloud, and the target scene information on the Bluetooth remote controller needs to be used;

[0106] Step S402: Whether the air conditioner 1 can search the Bluetooth remote controller, if yes, step S403 is executed, if not, step S404 is executed;

[0107] Step S403: The cloud system controls air conditioner 1 normally;

[0108] Normal control refers to the Bluetooth remote control sending target scene information to air conditioner 1, air conditioner 1 sending the target scene information to the cloud, the cloud generating control parameters based on the target scene information, and sending the control parameters back to air conditioner 1.

[0109] Step S404: Air conditioner 1 initiates a search request for the Bluetooth remote control to the cloud;

[0110] Step S405: The cloud confirms that the air conditioner 2 and the Bluetooth remote control can communicate normally;

[0111] Step S406: Determine whether the target scene information on the Bluetooth remote control is dynamically updated. If yes, proceed to step S407; otherwise, proceed to step S408.

[0112] Among them, the target scene information on the Bluetooth remote control can be checked to see if it is dynamically updated by communicating through the link between air conditioner 1, cloud, air conditioner 2, and Bluetooth remote control.

[0113] Step S407: Each time the air conditioner 1 is controlled, it goes through the process of going from the Bluetooth remote control to the air conditioner 2, and then to the cloud. The cloud generates control parameters and sends them to the air conditioner 1.

[0114] Step S408: The cloud temporarily records the target scene information until the air conditioner and the Bluetooth remote control establish a connection;

[0115] Step S409: The cloud controls the air conditioner 1 based on the target scene information stored in the cloud.
