Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent control technology for electrical appliances, and more specifically, to a control method and apparatus for electrical equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of intelligent technology, the control methods of electrical appliances have gradually become more intelligent. Appliances can be controlled remotely via an app or through Bluetooth technology. However, Bluetooth control technology still has some shortcomings. For example, while adults can control the operation of some high-voltage electrical equipment via Bluetooth beacons, children approaching such equipment via Bluetooth beacons may also trigger its operation, potentially putting them in danger. Furthermore, while ordinary people need to turn on appliances when approaching them via Bluetooth beacons, maintenance personnel need to turn them off. There are no good solutions to these technical problems, which reduces the user's experience of intelligent appliances. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to at least address the problems of insufficient intelligence and poor user experience in electrical control in existing or related technologies.

[0004] Therefore, the first objective of this invention is to provide a method for controlling electrical equipment.

[0005] A second objective of this invention is to provide a control device for electrical equipment.

[0006] A third objective of this invention is to provide a control device for electrical equipment.

[0007] The first aspect of the present invention provides a control method for an electrical device, comprising: receiving a Bluetooth signal emitted by a Bluetooth beacon and determining the strength of the Bluetooth signal; determining whether the strength of the Bluetooth signal reaches a preset value, and if the strength of the Bluetooth signal reaches the preset value, acquiring the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change during the process of the Bluetooth signal strength reaching the preset value; acquiring attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon corresponding to the Bluetooth signal; generating a control command based on the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change and the attribute information, and issuing it to enable the electrical device to perform a first preset action.

[0008] According to the control method for electrical equipment provided by the present invention, preset actions of the electrical equipment can be automatically triggered, thereby realizing intelligent control of the electrical equipment and improving user experience. Specifically, in the specific implementation process, a Bluetooth signal emitted by a Bluetooth beacon can be received first, and the strength of the Bluetooth signal can be determined. When the strength of the Bluetooth signal reaches a preset value, the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change during the process of reaching the preset value, as well as the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon corresponding to the Bluetooth signal, can be obtained. Then, a control command can be generated and issued based on the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change and the attribute information, so as to enable the electrical equipment to perform a first preset action. It can be understood that determining the strength of the Bluetooth signal is to determine whether the Bluetooth beacon has reached a preset position. Only when the Bluetooth beacon reaches the preset position will the subsequent control command for the electrical equipment be implemented. Obtaining the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change during the process of reaching the preset value is to determine whether the Bluetooth beacon is moving from a distance toward the electrical equipment or from the location of the electrical equipment toward a distance, so as to generate different control commands. For example, the user-preset control command is: when the Bluetooth signal approaches the electrical equipment from a distance and reaches the preset value, generate a command to turn on the power of the electrical equipment. When the Bluetooth signal reaches a preset value and the device is far away from the electrical equipment, a command to turn off the power to the electrical equipment is generated. This not only enables intelligent control of electrical equipment, reducing the wiring and setup of physical switches and saving costs, but also reduces human intervention, lowers the error rate, and allows for on-demand activation or deactivation of equipment, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. Furthermore, since this application also generates control commands based on the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon, it can generate different control commands for Bluetooth beacons with different attributes, thereby meeting the needs of different scenarios and users. For example, when an ordinary person wearing a regular Bluetooth beacon approaches an electrical device, a command to turn on the device may be generated, causing the device to start working. However, if a maintenance personnel wearing a maintenance Bluetooth beacon approaches an electrical device, a control command to turn off the device will be generated, causing the device to stop working, facilitating maintenance. The specific control command generated based on the strength trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal can be preset to meet user needs.

[0009] In addition, the control method for electrical equipment provided in this application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0010] In some embodiments, the step of generating a control command based on the intensity change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal may include: determining whether the intensity change trend of the Bluetooth signal is an increasing trend; generating a first control command based on the attribute information when the intensity change trend of the Bluetooth signal is an increasing trend; and generating a second control command based on the attribute information when the intensity change trend of the Bluetooth signal is a decreasing trend.

[0011] In this embodiment, it can be determined whether the Bluetooth signal strength trend is increasing. When the Bluetooth signal strength trend is increasing, a first control command is generated based on the attribute information; when the Bluetooth signal strength trend is decreasing, a second control command is generated based on the attribute information. It can be understood that an increasing trend in Bluetooth signal strength indicates that the Bluetooth beacon is moving closer to the electrical device, while a decreasing trend indicates that the Bluetooth beacon is moving away from the electrical device. Therefore, the first and second control commands can be generated according to the two different scenarios to meet different user needs.

[0012] In some embodiments, the attribute information may optionally include at least one of name, age, and identity.

[0013] In this embodiment, the attribute information includes at least one of name, age, and identity, thereby enabling the generation of different control instructions based on different attribute information. If the age information in the attribute information indicates a child under 5 years old, then a control instruction corresponding to the child will be generated, such as turning off the power to electrical appliances to ensure the child's safety.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first control instruction may optionally include one of a power-on instruction and a power-off instruction; the second control instruction may include the other of a power-on instruction and a power-off instruction.

[0015] In this embodiment, the first control instruction includes one of a power-on instruction and a power-off instruction, and the second control instruction includes the other of a power-on instruction and a power-off instruction, thereby enabling the generation of different control instructions according to different situations.

[0016] In some embodiments, the control method for the electrical device may optionally further include: obtaining a modification instruction to modify attribute information; and modifying the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon according to the modification instruction.

[0017] In this embodiment, the user can also modify the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon, thereby preventing the generation of control commands that do not match the user's in case of loss or accidental acquisition of the Bluetooth beacon. Specifically, a modification command for modifying the attribute information can be obtained, and then the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon can be modified according to the modification command.

[0018] In some embodiments, optionally, the electrical device includes a first electrical device and a second electrical device. The first electrical device performs a first preset action according to a control instruction. Before the step of generating a control instruction based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal, the control method of the electrical device further includes: sending the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal so that the second electrical device performs a second preset action according to the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal.

[0019] In this embodiment, inter-device linkage can also be achieved, enabling the customization of more control rules to meet the needs of different usage scenarios. For example, the electrical equipment includes a first electrical device and a second electrical device. The first electrical device executes a first preset action according to the control command. Before generating the control command based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal, the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal can be sent so that the second electrical device executes a second preset action according to the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal. This achieves the first electrical device executing the first preset action and the second electrical device executing the second preset action. Of course, the electrical device can also be linked with other devices, such as lighting, air conditioners, water heaters, access control systems, and shredders, thereby further enabling personalized settings, meeting more usage needs, and improving the user experience.

[0020] In some embodiments, the Bluetooth beacon may optionally include a Bluetooth Low Energy beacon.

[0021] In this embodiment, the Bluetooth beacon includes a low-power Bluetooth beacon, which can save power consumption and increase the service life of the Bluetooth beacon.

[0022] In some embodiments, the Bluetooth beacon may optionally be a customized wristband, badge, or pendant for easy wear by the user.

[0023] In some embodiments, the electrical equipment may optionally include energy storage devices, lighting devices, cooking devices, and temperature control devices.

[0024] In this embodiment, the electrical equipment includes energy storage devices, lighting devices, cooking devices, and temperature control devices, which not only enables more intelligent control but also allows for the customization of various personalized settings. For example, the temperature can be directly adjusted to a preset temperature when the lights are turned on.

[0025] In some embodiments, the electrical device may optionally include a device control unit, which is used to receive control commands and control the electrical device to perform a first preset action.

[0026] In this embodiment, a device control unit can be set on the electrical equipment to receive control commands and control the electrical equipment to perform a first preset action.

[0027] In some embodiments, optionally, the step of generating control instructions based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal includes: obtaining user attribute information; determining whether the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon matches the user attribute information; if the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon matches the user attribute information, generating a third control instruction based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal; and if the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon does not match the user attribute information, generating a fourth control instruction based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal.

[0028] In this embodiment, when generating control commands based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal, it can first be determined whether the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon matches the user's attribute information. If the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon matches the user's attribute information, a third control command is generated based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal. If the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon does not match the user's attribute information, a fourth control command is generated based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal. It is understood that in practical applications, the user's attribute information can be pre-entered; for example, the user's appearance, age, height, and identity information can be entered, and then compared with the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon to generate different control commands. This application can generate different control commands when a user takes the wrong Bluetooth beacon, thereby preventing accidents. For example, if a child takes an adult's Bluetooth beacon, the child's attribute information will not match the adult's Bluetooth beacon attribute information, thus generating a fourth control command to ensure the child's safety. The specific control commands generated when the user's attribute information matches or does not match the Bluetooth beacon's attribute information can be preset to meet the user's needs.

[0029] In some embodiments, the equipment control unit may optionally include a power equipment control unit.

[0030] The second aspect of the present invention provides a control device for an electrical appliance, comprising: a receiving module for receiving a Bluetooth signal emitted by a Bluetooth beacon and determining the strength of the Bluetooth signal; a first acquisition module for determining whether the strength of the Bluetooth signal reaches a preset value, and, if the strength of the Bluetooth signal reaches the preset value, acquiring the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change during the process of the Bluetooth signal strength reaching the preset value; a second acquisition module for acquiring attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon corresponding to the Bluetooth signal; and an instruction module for generating and issuing control instructions based on the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change and the attribute information, so as to enable the electrical appliance to perform a first preset action.

[0031] The control device for electrical equipment provided by the present invention includes a receiving module, a first acquisition module, a second acquisition module, and an instruction module. The receiving module can receive Bluetooth signals emitted by Bluetooth beacons and determine the strength of the Bluetooth signal. The first acquisition module can determine whether the strength of the Bluetooth signal reaches a preset value, and when the strength of the Bluetooth signal reaches the preset value, acquire the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change during the process of reaching the preset value. The second acquisition module can acquire the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon corresponding to the Bluetooth signal. The instruction module can generate control instructions based on the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change and the attribute information, and issue them to enable the electrical equipment to perform a first preset action. The control device for electrical equipment provided by this application can automatically trigger the preset actions of the electrical equipment, thereby realizing intelligent control of the electrical equipment, improving user experience, reducing the wiring and installation of physical switches, saving costs, reducing human intervention, lowering the error rate, and allowing the equipment to be activated or shut down on demand, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. Furthermore, this application can generate different control instructions based on Bluetooth beacons with different attributes, thereby meeting the needs of different scenarios and different users.

[0032] The third aspect of the present invention provides a control device for an electrical appliance, comprising: a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a program or instructions, and when the program or instructions are executed by the processor, the steps of the control method for the electrical appliance as described in any of the first aspects are implemented.

[0033] The control device for an electrical appliance provided by the present invention includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a program or instructions, which, when executed by the processor, implement the steps of the control method for the electrical appliance as described in any of the first aspects. Since this control method for the electrical appliance can implement the steps of the control method for the electrical appliance as described in any of the first aspects, the control device for the electrical appliance provided by the present invention also possesses all the beneficial effects of the control method for the electrical appliance as described in any of the first aspects, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0034] The fourth aspect of the present invention provides a readable storage medium having a program or instructions stored thereon, wherein when the program or instructions are executed, the steps of the control method for electrical equipment as described in any of the first aspects are implemented.

[0035] According to the readable storage medium provided by the present invention, a program or instructions are stored thereon, which, when executed, implement the steps of the control method for the electrical device as described in any of the first aspects.

[0047] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0048] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0049] The following reference Figures 1 to 10 The invention describes control methods, apparatuses, and readable storage media for electrical devices according to some embodiments of the invention.

[0050] In one embodiment according to the first aspect of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, a method for controlling an electrical device is provided, including:

[0051] S102 receives the Bluetooth signal emitted by the Bluetooth beacon and determines the strength of the Bluetooth signal.

[0052] S104, determine whether the strength of the Bluetooth signal has reached a preset value, and if the strength of the Bluetooth signal has reached the preset value, obtain the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change during the process of the Bluetooth signal strength reaching the preset value.

[0053] S106, Obtain the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon corresponding to the Bluetooth signal.

[0054] S108 generates and issues control commands based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal to enable the power supply device to perform a first preset action.

[0055] According to the control method for electrical equipment provided by the present invention, preset actions of the electrical equipment can be automatically triggered, thereby realizing intelligent control of the electrical equipment and improving user experience. Specifically, in the specific implementation process, a Bluetooth signal emitted by a Bluetooth beacon can be received first, and the strength of the Bluetooth signal can be determined. When the strength of the Bluetooth signal reaches a preset value, the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change during the process of reaching the preset value, as well as the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon corresponding to the Bluetooth signal, can be obtained. Then, a control command can be generated and issued based on the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change and the attribute information, so as to enable the electrical equipment to perform a first preset action. It can be understood that determining the strength of the Bluetooth signal is to determine whether the Bluetooth beacon has reached a preset position. Only when the Bluetooth beacon reaches the preset position will the subsequent control command for the electrical equipment be implemented. Obtaining the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change during the process of reaching the preset value is to determine whether the Bluetooth beacon is moving from a distance toward the electrical equipment or from the location of the electrical equipment toward a distance, so as to generate different control commands. For example, the user-preset control command is: when the Bluetooth signal approaches the electrical equipment from a distance and reaches the preset value, generate a command to turn on the power of the electrical equipment. When the Bluetooth signal reaches a preset value and the device is far away from the electrical equipment, a command to turn off the power to the electrical equipment is generated. This not only enables intelligent control of electrical equipment, reducing the wiring and setup of physical switches and saving costs, but also reduces human intervention, lowers the error rate, and allows for on-demand activation or deactivation of equipment, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. Furthermore, since this application also generates control commands based on the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon, it can generate different control commands for Bluetooth beacons with different attributes, thereby meeting the needs of different scenarios and users. For example, when an ordinary person wearing a regular Bluetooth beacon approaches an electrical device, a command to turn on the device may be generated, causing the device to start working. However, if a maintenance personnel wearing a maintenance Bluetooth beacon approaches an electrical device, a control command to turn off the device will be generated, causing the device to stop working, facilitating maintenance. The specific control command generated based on the strength trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal can be preset to meet user needs.

[0056] In some embodiments, the step of generating a control command based on the intensity change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal may include: determining whether the intensity change trend of the Bluetooth signal is an increasing trend; generating a first control command based on the attribute information when the intensity change trend of the Bluetooth signal is an increasing trend; and generating a second control command based on the attribute information when the intensity change trend of the Bluetooth signal is a decreasing trend.

[0057] In this embodiment, it can be determined whether the Bluetooth signal strength trend is increasing. When the Bluetooth signal strength trend is increasing, a first control command is generated based on the attribute information; when the Bluetooth signal strength trend is decreasing, a second control command is generated based on the attribute information. It can be understood that an increasing trend in Bluetooth signal strength indicates that the Bluetooth beacon is moving closer to the electrical device, while a decreasing trend indicates that the Bluetooth beacon is moving away from the electrical device. Therefore, the first and second control commands can be generated according to the two different scenarios to meet different user needs.

[0058] In some embodiments, the attribute information may optionally include at least one of name, age, and identity.

[0059] In this embodiment, the attribute information includes at least one of name, age, and identity, thereby enabling the generation of different control instructions based on different attribute information. If the age information in the attribute information indicates a child under 5 years old, then a control instruction corresponding to the child will be generated, such as turning off the power to electrical appliances to ensure the child's safety.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first control instruction may optionally include one of a power-on instruction and a power-off instruction; the second control instruction may include the other of a power-on instruction and a power-off instruction.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first control instruction includes one of a power-on instruction and a power-off instruction, and the second control instruction includes the other of a power-on instruction and a power-off instruction, thereby enabling the generation of different control instructions according to different situations.

[0062] In some embodiments, the control method for the electrical device may optionally further include: obtaining a modification instruction to modify attribute information; and modifying the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon according to the modification instruction.

[0063] In this embodiment, the user can also modify the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon, thereby preventing the generation of control commands that do not match the user's in case of loss or accidental acquisition of the Bluetooth beacon. Specifically, a modification command for modifying the attribute information can be obtained, and then the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon can be modified according to the modification command.

[0064] In some embodiments, optionally, the electrical device includes a first electrical device and a second electrical device. The first electrical device performs a first preset action according to a control instruction. Before the step of generating a control instruction based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal, the control method of the electrical device further includes: sending the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal so that the second electrical device performs a second preset action according to the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal.

[0065] In this embodiment, inter-device linkage can also be achieved, enabling the customization of more control rules to meet the needs of different usage scenarios. For example, the electrical equipment includes a first electrical device and a second electrical device. The first electrical device executes a first preset action according to the control command. Before generating the control command based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal, the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal can be sent so that the second electrical device executes a second preset action according to the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal. This achieves the first electrical device executing the first preset action and the second electrical device executing the second preset action. Of course, the electrical device can also be linked with other devices, such as lighting, air conditioners, water heaters, access control systems, and shredders, thereby further enabling personalized settings, meeting more usage needs, and improving the user experience.

[0066] In some embodiments, the Bluetooth beacon may optionally include a Bluetooth Low Energy beacon.

[0067] In this embodiment, the Bluetooth beacon includes a low-power Bluetooth beacon, which can save power consumption and increase the service life of the Bluetooth beacon.

[0068] In some embodiments, the Bluetooth beacon may optionally be a customized wristband, badge, or pendant for easy wear by the user.

[0069] In some embodiments, the electrical equipment may optionally include energy storage devices, lighting devices, cooking devices, and temperature control devices.

[0070] In this embodiment, the electrical equipment includes energy storage devices, lighting devices, cooking devices, and temperature control devices, which not only enables more intelligent control but also allows for the customization of various personalized settings. For example, the temperature can be directly adjusted to a preset temperature when the lights are turned on.

[0071] In some embodiments, the electrical device may optionally include a device control unit, which is used to receive control commands and control the electrical device to perform a first preset action.

[0072] In this embodiment, a device control unit can be set on the electrical equipment to receive control commands and control the electrical equipment to perform a first preset action.

[0073] In some embodiments, optionally, the step of generating control instructions based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal includes: obtaining user attribute information; determining whether the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon matches the user attribute information; if the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon matches the user attribute information, generating a third control instruction based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal; and if the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon does not match the user attribute information, generating a fourth control instruction based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal.

[0074] In this embodiment, when generating control commands based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal, it can first be determined whether the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon matches the user's attribute information. If the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon matches the user's attribute information, a third control command is generated based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal. If the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon does not match the user's attribute information, a fourth control command is generated based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal. It is understood that in practical applications, the user's attribute information can be pre-entered; for example, the user's appearance, age, height, and identity information can be entered, and then compared with the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon to generate different control commands. This application can generate different control commands when a user takes the wrong Bluetooth beacon, thereby preventing accidents. For example, if a child takes an adult's Bluetooth beacon, the child's attribute information will not match the adult's Bluetooth beacon attribute information, thus generating a fourth control command to ensure the child's safety. The specific control commands generated when the user's attribute information matches or does not match the Bluetooth beacon's attribute information can be preset to meet the user's needs.

[0075] In some embodiments, the user's attribute information includes adult and child attributes. Specifically, the intensity change trend of the Bluetooth beacon can be obtained, and a Bluetooth signal strength change curve can be generated by fitting the intensity change trend of the Bluetooth beacon. Since there is a difference in the height at which an adult wears a Bluetooth beacon and the height at which a child wears a Bluetooth beacon, the corresponding Bluetooth signal strength will also differ. Therefore, by fitting and generating a Bluetooth signal strength change curve, it is possible to identify whether the Bluetooth beacon is worn by an adult or a child. If the Bluetooth signal strength change curve identifies that the Bluetooth beacon is worn by a child, but the Bluetooth beacon's attribute information is that of an adult, it is considered that the child is wearing an adult Bluetooth beacon. Therefore, a fourth control command will be generated, such as a control command to turn off the high-voltage equipment if the child is near a high-voltage device, thereby ensuring the child's safety.

[0076] In some embodiments, the equipment control unit may optionally include a power equipment control unit.

[0077] In one embodiment according to the first aspect of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, a method for controlling an electrical device is provided, including:

[0078] S202 receives Bluetooth signals emitted by Bluetooth beacons and determines the strength of the Bluetooth signal.

[0079] S204, determine whether the strength of the Bluetooth signal has reached a preset value, and if the strength of the Bluetooth signal has reached the preset value, obtain the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change during the process of the Bluetooth signal strength reaching the preset value.

[0080] S206, Obtain the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon corresponding to the Bluetooth signal.

[0081] S208, transmit the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal so that the second electrical device can perform a second preset action according to the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal.

[0082] S210 generates and issues control commands based on the strength change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal to enable the power supply device to perform a first preset action.

[0083] According to the control method for electrical equipment provided by the present invention, preset actions of the electrical equipment can be automatically triggered, thereby realizing intelligent control of the electrical equipment and improving user experience. Specifically, in the specific implementation process, a Bluetooth signal emitted by a Bluetooth beacon can be received first, and the strength of the Bluetooth signal can be determined. When the strength of the Bluetooth signal reaches a preset value, the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change during the process of reaching the preset value, as well as the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon corresponding to the Bluetooth signal, can be obtained. Then, a control command can be generated and issued based on the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change and the attribute information, so as to enable the electrical equipment to perform a first preset action. It can be understood that determining the strength of the Bluetooth signal is to determine whether the Bluetooth beacon has reached a preset position. Only when the Bluetooth beacon reaches the preset position will the subsequent control command for the electrical equipment be implemented. Obtaining the trend of the Bluetooth signal strength change during the process of reaching the preset value is to determine whether the Bluetooth beacon is moving from a distance toward the electrical equipment or from the location of the electrical equipment toward a distance, so as to generate different control commands. For example, the user-preset control command is: when the Bluetooth signal approaches the electrical equipment from a distance and reaches the preset value, generate a command to turn on the power of the electrical equipment. When the Bluetooth signal reaches a preset value and the device is far away from the electrical equipment, a command to turn off the power to the electrical equipment is generated. This not only enables intelligent control of electrical equipment, reducing the wiring and setup of physical switches and saving costs, but also reduces human intervention, lowers the error rate, and allows for on-demand activation or deactivation of equipment, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. Furthermore, since this application also generates control commands based on the attribute information of the Bluetooth beacon, it can generate different control commands for Bluetooth beacons with different attributes, thereby meeting the needs of different scenarios and users. For example, when an ordinary person wearing a regular Bluetooth beacon approaches an electrical device, a command to turn on the device may be generated, causing the device to start working. However, if a maintenance personnel wearing a maintenance Bluetooth beacon approaches an electrical device, a control command to turn off the device will be generated, causing the device to stop working, facilitating maintenance. The specific control command generated based on the strength trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal can be preset to meet user needs.

[0084] Meanwhile, linkage between devices can also be implemented, so that more control rules can be customized to meet the use requirements of different scenarios. For example, electrical devices include a first electrical device and a second electrical device, wherein the first electrical device executes a first preset action according to a control instruction. Before the control instruction is generated according to the intensity change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal, the intensity change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal can be sent, so that the second electrical device executes a second preset action according to the intensity change trend and attribute information of the Bluetooth signal, thus implementing that the first electrical device executes the first preset action and the second electrical device executes the second preset action. Certainly, the electrical device can also be linked with other devices, such as illuminating lamps, air conditioners, water heaters, access controls and shredders, so that personalized setting can be further implemented, more use requirements can be met, and user experience is improved.

[0085] In an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, as Figure 3 shows, a control method for an electrical device is provided, comprising:

[0086] S302, a low-power Bluetooth tag with a specific identifier is worn, and when the Bluetooth tag approaches or moves away from a preset position, signal transmission is automatically triggered.

[0087] S304, a specific signal is received and identified by a receiver / gateway.

[0088] S306, the receiver / gateway issues a program for starting and shutting down high-voltage electrical equipment, and broadcasts the specific signal to other receivers.

[0089] S308, a high-voltage electrical equipment control unit receives an instruction transmitted from the receiver / gateway and cuts off power supply.

[0090] S310, other receivers generate a chain reaction to execute the program for starting / shutting down the high-voltage electrical equipment.

[0091] In some embodiments, optionally, because Bluetooth signal propagation has the following problems: limited coverage: the signal coverage of Bluetooth broadcasting is relatively small, which is usually limited to tens of meters; interference and signal attenuation: Bluetooth signals are easily affected by physical obstacles (such as walls and metal objects), resulting in reduced signal intensity or complete blocking, which may affect the broadcasting reliability and receiving quality. Therefore, the Bluetooth signal propagation performance can be enhanced in the following manners:

[0092] 1. Enhancing hardware performance: antennas and receivers with higher sensitivity are used to improve the signal receiving quality. A multi-antenna technology MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) is implemented to enhance signal stability and anti-interference capability.

[0093] 2. Optimize software algorithms: introduce signal filtering and averaging technologies to reduce fluctuations in RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) measurement, and improve the accuracy of positioning and distance estimation. Dynamically adjust the broadcasting range and frequency to adapt to environmental changes.

[0094] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 shown, the control method for an electrical device of the present application can be implemented by a Bluetooth tag (Bluetooth beacon) / Bluetooth wearable device, a receiver / gateway, and a device control unit, wherein the device control unit is arranged on the electrical device, and the receiver / gateway is arranged near the electrical device. Wherein, Figure 4 illustrates a logic diagram of a control method for an electrical device according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 and Figure 8 is a logic diagram of a control method for an electrical device when the Bluetooth beacon is a device worn by a child in an embodiment. Figure 6 is a logic diagram of an embodiment combined with an energy storage device product.

[0095] In some embodiments, the energy storage device may be a balcony photovoltaic energy storage device or a household energy storage product. The balcony photovoltaic energy storage device is usually installed on a balcony or a household courtyard, and the household energy storage device is usually installed on an indoor or outdoor wall. Both can use electric energy generated by light energy to provide power for various electric appliances in the home. The balcony photovoltaic energy storage device is usually small in size and can provide relatively low power, while the household energy storage device is relatively large in size and can provide relatively high power. Specifically, both the balcony photovoltaic energy storage device and the household energy storage device can be connected to a photovoltaic panel, and the electric energy generated by the photovoltaic effect of the photovoltaic panel can charge the balcony photovoltaic energy storage device or the household energy storage device. They can also be connected to the municipal power grid, and the municipal power can also charge the balcony photovoltaic energy storage device or the household energy storage device. The balcony energy storage device or the household energy storage device also has an alternating current output interface, which can be plugged into a household socket power supply to supply power for various household AC loads.

[0096] As Figure 7 shown, it is a networking diagram of a control method for an electrical device in an embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the receiver / gateway, Bluetooth wearable device, intelligent circuit breaker, intelligent socket and other intelligent household appliances are associated to realize the interconnection of multiple devices. A brief introduction of these devices is as follows:

[0097] Bluetooth tag:

[0098] Device: A Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tag, which can be a customized wristband, badge or pendant.

[0099] Function: It integrates a BLE chip and is able to send specific signals or data packets.

[0100] Triggering mechanism: When the tag approaches or moves away from a preset position, a signal is automatically triggered.

[0101] Receiver / Gateway:

[0102] Equipment: One or more receivers located near the electrical equipment (applied equipment) that needs to be controlled.

[0103] Function: Receive signals from Bluetooth tags, analyze the signals, and perform corresponding actions.

[0104] Control logic: When a specific signal is received, the procedure to shut down the device is initiated.

[0105] Equipment control unit:

[0106] Equipment: Intelligent circuit breakers, relays, or PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), etc., used for the actual control of the switching on and off of high-voltage electrical equipment.

[0107] Function: Receives instructions from the receiver / gateway and cuts off the power supply.

[0108] In the specific implementation process, different processes can be set up according to different scenarios, as follows:

[0109] 1. Bluetooth ID (Bluetooth beacon attribute information) settings: associate the ID with an identity, such as maintenance personnel, children, etc.

[0110] 2. Preset ID identities and executed commands. For example, maintenance personnel can preset to turn off all power, and children can be marked as dangerous electrical equipment.

[0111] 3. Pair the Bluetooth device with the receiver / gateway. The pairing process is the same as that for ordinary Bluetooth devices.

[0112] In scenarios involving incorrect tags, such as picking up the wrong Bluetooth tag (Bluetooth beacon), the Bluetooth ID attribute can be remotely modified via the app or cloud.

[0113] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0114] 1. When a user approaches or leaves a designated area, preset actions can be automatically triggered, such as turning on lights, starting the air conditioner, or unlocking the access control.

[0115] 2. Bluetooth proximity control enables location-based security authentication, allowing only authorized devices to perform operations within a certain range. For example, it can restrict minors' use of potentially dangerous appliances such as water heaters, kettles, and grinders.

[0116] 3. Automated control mechanisms can activate or deactivate equipment on demand, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. For example, lights and office equipment can be automatically turned off when the office is unoccupied.

[0117] 4. Personalized environmental settings can be customized based on user preferences or habits, such as adjusting indoor temperature, playing music, or setting up a work environment. For example, when a user enters the room, Bluetooth proximity control can automatically adjust to their preferred lighting and temperature settings.

[0118] 5. Bluetooth proximity control can seamlessly integrate with existing IoT platforms, facilitating unified management and data analysis. It can become part of smart homes, smart offices, or smart factories, working collaboratively with other smart devices.

[0119] 6. Users can easily configure and reconfigure proximity control rules as needed to adapt to different scenarios or requirements. This includes adjusting the trigger distance, modifying the action sequence, or adding new devices.

[0120] 7. Compared to traditional wiring and physical switches, Bluetooth proximity control reduces installation and maintenance costs. It reduces human intervention, lowers error rates, and thus reduces long-term operating costs.
