[0030] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 3The structure of the server 10 shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation on the server 10, and the server 10 may include more or less components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0031] Based on the above hardware structure, various embodiments of the state synchronization method of the present application are proposed.

[0032] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 A flow chart of a state synchronization method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the state synchronization method is applied to Figure 1 In the server 10 of the state synchronization system 1, the method comprises:

[0033] Step S401: receiving a plurality of status instructions from the at least one mobile terminal.

[0034] Each of the multiple status instructions is associated with a controlled state of a single function of at least one function of the smart device.

[0035] The controlled state includes, but is not limited to, a start state and a pause state. The start state is used to represent the execution state of the function of the smart device, and the pause state is used to represent the shutdown state of the function of the smart device.

[0036] Among them, multiple state instructions can come from the same mobile terminal or from multiple mobile terminals. Multiple state instructions can be settings for the controlled state of the same function or for the controlled state settings of different functions. Therefore, when multiple state instructions are all for the same controlled state control of the same function, the problem of instruction duplication will arise.

[0037] Among them, the functions of the smart device include one or more, which refers to the product functions of the smart device, that is, the user instructs the smart device to perform specific operations through software control or automated programs by inputting status instructions to meet the user's needs or provide specific services. The user obtains the functions of the smart device through the application on the mobile terminal, and remotely controls the specific function by operating the application and triggering the status instruction for the specific function. Exemplarily, the air conditioner has functions such as cooling, heating, wind speed, wind direction control, dehumidification, energy saving, and timing. When the user triggers the cooling function, the mobile terminal sends the first status instruction of the cooling function to the server, and the server sends the first status instruction of the cooling function to the smart device to start the cooling function. After the cooling function is started, the smart device reports the device status to the server, and the device status includes the start-up status of the cooling function. When the cooling function needs to be turned off, the mobile terminal sends the second status instruction of the cooling function to the server, and the second status instruction is used to indicate the pause state of the cooling function of the smart device.

[0038] Step S402: determining at least one target state instruction among the multiple state instructions according to a preset state synchronization mechanism, and storing the at least one target state instruction in the server.

[0039] The at least one target state instruction is used to represent the activation state of at least one function of the smart device.

[0040] Among them, in this embodiment, one or more status instructions related to the activation status of the function of the smart device can be screened out from multiple status instructions according to the preset status synchronization mechanism.

[0041] In some embodiments, the preset state synchronization mechanism is used to obtain one or more state instructions in which the controlled state is the startup state among the multiple state instructions, and to merge multiple state instructions associated with the same function among the one or more state instructions to obtain at least one target state instruction.

[0042] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 A flowchart of determining a target state instruction provided in an embodiment of the present application is provided. The specific process of the server determining at least one target state instruction from multiple state instructions according to a preset state synchronization mechanism includes the following steps:

[0043] Step S501, one or more state instructions whose controlled state is a start state are screened out from a plurality of state instructions, and recorded as a first state instruction set.

[0044] Step S502: Filter out multiple status instructions associated with the same function from the first status instruction set and record them as reference status instructions.

[0045] Step S503: merge multiple reference instructions into a single status instruction according to a merging rule.

[0046] Step S504: determine the remaining state instructions in the first state instruction set and the single state instruction obtained in step S503 as target state instructions.

[0047] For specific implementation, see Table 1, which is a status instruction data table provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0048]

[0049] As shown in Table 1, the mobile terminal includes a first terminal 1, a second terminal 2, a third terminal 3, and a fourth terminal 4. The smart device includes cooling, heating, and dehumidification functions. In the table, "start" indicates the start state, "pause" indicates the pause state, and " indicates that it is not set. The first terminal 1 sent 2 status instructions (1, start, cooling), (1, start, dehumidification), the second terminal 2 sent 3 status instructions (2, pause, cooling), (2, start, heating), (2, start, dehumidification), the third terminal 3 sent 1 status instruction (3, start, cooling), and the fourth terminal 4 sent 1 status instruction (4, start, cooling). The meaning of the status instruction is (terminal, controlled state, function).

[0050] First, select the state instructions (1, start, cooling), (1, start, dehumidification), (2, start, heating), (2, start, dehumidification), (3, start, cooling), (4, start, cooling) whose controlled state is the start state.

[0051] Secondly, the state instructions with the same function in the state instructions whose controlled state is the start state are merged. For the refrigeration function, there are three state instructions (1, start, cooling), (3, start, cooling), and (4, start, cooling). One state instruction is selected from them according to the merging rule, for example, merged into (1, start, cooling); for the dehumidification function, there are two state instructions (1, start, dehumidification) and (2, start, dehumidification). One state instruction is selected from them according to the merging rule, for example, merged into (2, start, dehumidification).

[0052] Finally, (1, start, cooling), (2, start, heating), and (2, start, dehumidification) are used as target state instructions.

[0053] It can be seen that in this embodiment, through the preset state synchronization mechanism, the state instructions associated with the state instructions of the pause state can be removed from multiple state instructions, and the state instructions associated with the same function from multiple state instructions of the start state can be merged, which can reduce the number of message transmissions from the server to the smart device and the number of repeated responses of the smart device, thereby improving the stability of the smart device.

[0054] In some embodiments, the method for merging multiple status instructions associated with the same function in the one or more status instructions specifically includes the following steps: obtaining multiple reference status instructions associated with the same function in the one or more status instructions; determining the merged status instruction based on the size of the timestamps contained in the multiple reference status instructions, the timestamp being used to represent the moment when each reference status instruction in the multiple reference status instructions is sent by the corresponding mobile terminal.

[0055] Each status instruction carries a timestamp, which is used to indicate the time when the status instruction is sent by the corresponding mobile terminal. For multiple reference status instructions associated with the same function, one status instruction is determined from the multiple reference status instructions according to the timestamp size, so as to achieve the purpose of merging multiple repeated status instructions.

[0056] Among them, the state instruction with the smallest timestamp, that is, the earliest sent out, can be selected as the merged state instruction, or the state instruction with the largest timestamp, that is, the latest sent out, can be selected as the merged state instruction. Of course, there are other selection methods, and the final effect achieved is the same.

[0057] It can be seen that in this embodiment, multiple repeated status instructions can be merged into one status instruction according to the timestamp size.

[0058] In some embodiments, after storing the at least one target state instruction in the server, the method further includes: obtaining historical configuration parameters of at least one function corresponding to the at least one target state instruction, the server storing historical configuration parameters of each function of the at least one function of the smart device, the historical configuration parameters being used to characterize the configuration parameters of each function in the processing cycle before the current processing cycle; sending the at least one target state instruction to the online smart device includes: sending the at least one target state instruction and the historical configuration parameters corresponding to the at least one target state instruction to the online smart device, so as to change the controlled state of at least one function of the smart device to the startup state.

[0059] Among them, in addition to the start state and the pause state, the controlled state of a function of the smart device is also associated with specific configuration parameters when the controlled state is the start state. For example, for the cooling function of the air conditioner, when the controlled state is the start state, a specific cooling temperature needs to be set. When the user starts a function without setting the function configuration parameters, the server receives the state instruction for the start state of the function, obtains the historical configuration parameters corresponding to the function, and uses the historical configuration parameters as the configuration parameters of the current state instruction. The target state instruction and the corresponding historical configuration parameters are stored in the server. When the smart device is online, the server sends the target state instruction and the corresponding historical configuration parameters to the smart device.

[0060] The historical configuration parameters are usually the configuration parameters corresponding to the function in the device status reported by the smart device last time and stored in the server. For example, the temperature of the air conditioning cooling function was set to 26°C last time. When the cooling function is started again, if a specific temperature is set, the temperature is directly set to 26°C.

[0061] It can be seen that in this embodiment, when the user starts a function without setting the function configuration parameters, the server receives the status instruction for the start-up state of the function, obtains the historical configuration parameters corresponding to the function, and uses the historical configuration parameters as the configuration parameters of the current status instruction. Using the historical configuration parameters as the configuration parameters of the current status instruction not only helps to improve user experience and satisfaction, but also increases the intelligence and convenience of smart devices.

[0062] In some embodiments, the status instruction is also associated with the configuration parameters of a single function in at least one function of the smart device; the preset state synchronization mechanism is used to obtain one or more status instructions in the multiple status instructions in which the controlled state is the startup state, and to merge multiple status instructions associated with the same function and the same configuration parameters in the one or more status instructions into a single status instruction, and to exclude status instructions other than the highest priority status instruction in the one or more status instructions associated with the same function and different configuration parameters; the at least one target status instruction is used to characterize the startup state of at least one function of the smart device and the configuration parameters of each function in the at least one function.

[0063] When a user starts a function and sets corresponding configuration parameters at the same time, the state instruction for the function is associated with the controlled state and the configuration parameters at the same time.

[0064] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 Another flow chart of determining a target state instruction provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the specific process of the server determining at least one target state instruction from multiple state instructions according to a preset state synchronization mechanism includes the following steps:

[0065] Step S601, one or more state instructions whose controlled state is a start state are screened out from a plurality of state instructions, and recorded as a first state instruction set.

[0066] Step S602: Filter out a plurality of status instructions associated with the same function and having the same configuration parameters from the first status instruction set, and record them as first reference status instructions.

[0067] Step S603: merge multiple first reference instructions into a single state instruction according to a merging rule.

[0068] Step S604 , filtering out multiple status instructions associated with the same function and having different configuration parameters from the first status instruction set, namely, second reference status instructions.

[0069] Step S605 , selecting a state instruction with the highest priority from the plurality of second reference instructions according to the priority, and recording it as a third reference state instruction.

[0070] Step S606: determine the remaining state instructions in the first state instruction set, the single state instruction obtained in step S603, and the third reference state instruction obtained in step S605 as target state instructions.

[0071] For specific implementation, see Table 2, which is another status instruction data table provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0072]

[0073] As shown in Table 2, the mobile terminal includes a first terminal 1, a second terminal 2, a third terminal 3, and a fourth terminal 4. The smart device includes cooling, heating, and dehumidification functions. In the table, "start" indicates the start state, "pause" indicates the pause state, and " indicates that it is not set. The configuration parameter of the cooling function is the cooling temperature (unit: °C), the configuration parameter of the heating function is the heating temperature (unit: °C), and the configuration parameter of the dehumidification function is the relative humidity (unit: RH).

[0074] The first terminal 1 sent two status instructions (1, start, cooling, 17°C), (1, start, dehumidification, 50%RH), and the second terminal 2 sent three status instructions (2, pause, cooling, )、(2, start, heating, 26℃)、(2, start, dehumidification, 50%RH)

[0075] The third terminal 3 sends a status instruction (3, start, cooling, 20℃).

[0076] The fourth terminal 4 sends a status instruction (4, start, cooling, 26°C). The status instruction means (terminal, controlled state, function, configuration parameters).

[0077] First, select the state instructions for the controlled state to be the start state (1, start, cooling, 17°C), (1, start, dehumidification, 50%RH), (2, start, heating, 26°C), (2, start, dehumidification, 50%RH), (3, start, cooling, 20°C), (4, start, cooling, 26°C), which is the first state instruction set.

[0078] Secondly, merge the state instructions with the same function and configuration parameters in the state instructions whose controlled state is the start state in the first state instruction set. For the dehumidification function, there are two state instructions (1, start, dehumidification, 50%RH) and (2, start, dehumidification, 50%RH). Select one state instruction from them according to the merging rule, for example, merge into (2, start, dehumidification, 50%RH).

[0079] Again, multiple state instructions whose controlled states are the start state, associated with the same function, and with different configuration parameters are selected from the first state instruction set, and recorded as the second reference state instructions, including (1, start, cooling, 17°C), (3, start, cooling, 20°C), and (4, start, cooling, 26°C) for the cooling function. The state instruction with the highest priority is selected from the second reference state instructions as the second reference state instruction, for example, (3, start, cooling, 20°C) is selected.

[0080] Finally, (3, start, cooling, 20°C), (2, start, heating, 26°C), and (2, start, dehumidification, 50%RH) are used as target state instructions.

[0081] It can be seen that in this embodiment, when the status instruction is simultaneously associated with the controlled state and the configuration parameters, one or more status instructions whose controlled instructions are the startup state are first screened out, and then the status instructions associated with the same function and the same configuration parameters in one or more status instructions are merged, and the other status instructions except the status instruction with the highest priority in the multiple status instructions associated with the same function and different configuration parameters in one or more status instructions are excluded to obtain the target status instruction, which can effectively reduce the number of repeated instructions.

[0082] In some embodiments, the priority is used to characterize the execution order of each status instruction among multiple status instructions that are associated with the same function and have different configuration parameters in the one or more status instructions; the priority includes at least one of a time priority and a device priority, the time priority is used to determine the execution order according to the size of a timestamp carried by the status instruction, and the device priority is used to determine the execution order according to a device level, and the device level is the device level of a mobile terminal corresponding to the multiple status instructions.

[0083] Among them, the user can set the device level of different mobile terminals bound to the smart device on the cloud platform. When multiple status instructions are associated with the same function or multiple status instructions are associated with the same function and have different configuration parameters, the final executed instruction is determined according to the device level.

[0084] In some embodiments, the priority also includes function priority. After determining at least one target state instruction among the multiple state instructions according to a preset state synchronization mechanism, the method also includes: detecting that there is a conflict in at least one function associated with the at least one target state instruction; determining the conflicting first state instruction and the second state instruction according to the priority, the priority of the first state instruction being higher than the priority of the second state instruction; and using other state instructions among the at least one target state instruction except the second state instruction as target state instructions.

[0085] The function priority refers to determining the priority order between multiple functions of a smart device. For example, as shown in Table 1, the function priority may be cooling>dehumidification>heating. The function priority may be the default priority order set in the smart device, and the user may also customize the function priority through the mobile terminal.

[0086] Among them, when there are conflicting state instructions in at least one target state instruction, for example, when there is a conflict between the cooling function and the heating function in the multiple target state instructions (1, start, cooling), (2, start, heating), and (2, start, dehumidification) determined according to Table 1, the priority of the cooling function is higher than the priority of the heating function according to the function priority. Therefore, the final target state instructions include (1, start, cooling), (2, start, dehumidification).

[0087] It can be seen that in the embodiment, after at least one target state instruction is preliminarily determined, it is determined whether there are conflicting instructions in at least one target state instruction. When conflicting instructions exist, state instructions with lower function priorities are excluded according to the function priorities, thereby avoiding conflicts between different functions and ensuring the stability and consistency of the system during operation.

[0088] Step S403: Send the at least one target state instruction to the online smart device to change the controlled state of at least one function of the smart device.

[0089] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, the server receives multiple status instructions from at least one mobile terminal, each status instruction in the multiple status instructions is associated with the controlled state of a single function in at least one function of the smart device, and the controlled state includes a start state and a pause state; at least one target status instruction in the multiple status instructions is determined according to a preset state synchronization mechanism, and at least one target status instruction is stored in the server; at least one target status instruction is used to characterize the start state of at least one function of the smart device; at least one target status instruction is sent to the smart device in the online state to change the controlled state of at least one function of the smart device. In the present application, the server processes the received multiple status instructions according to the preset state synchronization mechanism to obtain at least one target status instruction, which can remove repeated and conflicting instructions in the multiple status instructions, reduce the number of responses of the smart device, thereby improving the efficiency and response speed of the smart device in processing status instructions, and improving the stability of the smart device.

[0090] In some embodiments, after sending the at least one target state instruction to the smart device in an online state, the method also includes: receiving at least one synchronization instruction from the smart device, a single synchronization instruction being used to characterize the controlled state of each of the at least one function as the startup state; and updating the controlled state of each of the at least one function to the startup state.

[0091] Among them, when the smart device changes the controlled state of at least one function according to the target state instruction, it needs to report the new controlled state to the server in time, and the server will then feed back the new controlled state to the mobile terminal, which helps the user to check the current controlled state of the smart device in time.

[0092] In some embodiments, for the status instructions filtered out from the multiple status instructions, the server sends a prompt message to the mobile terminal, where the prompt message includes the reason for the control failure, so that the user can promptly understand the reason for the failure to set the status instruction he / she expects.

[0093] Exemplarily, the filtered out status instructions specifically include: status instructions whose controlled state is a pause state; other status instructions in the second reference status instructions except the third reference status instructions involved in step S604 and step S605; and status instructions with lower functional priority in at least one target status instruction and in two status instructions that send conflicts.

[0094] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 A schematic diagram of a state synchronization scenario provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 by Figure 1 The state synchronization system provided is a framework, the mobile terminal 30 includes a first terminal 1, a second terminal 2, a third terminal 3, and a fourth terminal 4, the smart device 20 is an air conditioner, the first terminal 1 sends 2 state instructions (1, start, cooling), (1, start, dehumidification) to the server 10, the second terminal 2 sends 3 state instructions (2, pause, cooling), (2, start, heating), (2, start, dehumidification) to the server 10, the third terminal 3 sends 1 state instruction (3, start, cooling) to the server 10, and the fourth terminal 4 sends 1 state instruction (4, start, cooling) to the server 10. The meaning of the state instruction is (terminal, controlled state, function).

[0095] After receiving multiple status instructions, the server 10 processes and analyzes the multiple status instructions according to the status synchronization method provided in this embodiment, and obtains three status instructions, namely (1, start, cooling), (2, start, heating), and (2, start, dehumidification). It is determined whether there is a conflict among the three status instructions. (1, start, cooling) and (2, start, heating) conflict with each other, and (2, start, heating) is excluded according to the function priority, and (1, start, cooling) and (2, start, dehumidification) are sent as target status instructions to the air conditioner in the online state. And a prompt message of heating failure is sent to the second terminal 2.

[0096] The air conditioner starts the cooling and dehumidification functions according to the two target state instructions, and reports the latest controlled state of each function to the server 10. For example, cooling is started and dehumidification is started.

[0097] The server 10 sends the latest controlled status of the smart device 20 to the four mobile terminals 30 .

[0098] In some embodiments, the preset state synchronization mechanism is also used to obtain multiple first state instructions in which the controlled state is the pause state among the multiple state instructions, and to merge multiple state instructions associated with the same function among the multiple first state instructions to obtain a first target state instruction, and the first target state instruction is used to represent the pause state of the corresponding function.
