Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of smart homes, and in particular to a method, system and storage medium for offline batch configuration of smart homes. Background Art

[0002] Smart homes can use Internet of Things technology to connect home facilities and devices. By connecting to the Internet, smart homes can realize remote, intelligent, scenario-based and other control methods, thereby realizing intelligent control of various home appliances.

[0003] After the smart home is installed and before it is used, it is necessary to write configuration data to the smart home. At this time, if the gateway connected to the smart home has not yet been connected to the Internet, the download and writing of the smart home configuration data cannot be completed. In order to solve this technical problem, in the prior art, for example, the existing application with the publication number CN114374604B and the name of a smart home configuration method, storage medium and system in an offline mode obtains configuration data from a cloud service end through a mobile terminal, and then sends the configuration data to the sub-device through the gateway through the smart mobile terminal. However, the construction site often lacks a stable external network connection, or the network conditions are extremely poor. The configuration file required for the configuration and debugging of the smart device contains display icons or videos related to the house, device functions, device networking, etc., which makes the data packet of the configuration file larger. In the case of poor network conditions and simultaneous configuration of multiple smart homes, it takes a long time to download multiple large data packets; and in the centralized delivery stage of smart homes, facing a large number of diverse house types and devices, coupled with the need to create complex scene linkage and automation settings, this series of tasks not only consumes a lot of time, but also extremely tests the professional skills of the construction team, resulting in difficulty in improving the overall construction efficiency. In summary, the field deployment of smart home projects often encounters problems such as unstable network, large number of devices and rooms, and high technical barriers.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to design a method, system and storage medium for offline batch configuration of smart homes in view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0015] Further, after the configuration file generation rules and the construction tasks are sent to the configuration terminal, the following are executed:

[0016] The configuration terminal queries whether the current offline material library has all the required data according to the construction task, and if not, the configuration terminal downloads the missing data through the cloud.

[0017] Furthermore, networking the plurality of smart homes to be configured includes:

[0018] The networking setting file includes a networking whitelist of all the smart homes to be configured;

[0019] Establishing a communication channel between the gateway and the configuration terminal, and sending the networking whitelist to the gateway;

[0020] When the smart home to be configured accesses the gateway, the gateway queries whether the smart home to be configured belongs to the devices in the networking whitelist, and if so, allows access to the networking.

[0021] Furthermore, the configuration file generation rules include generating one or more corresponding rules of construction instance data, project node data, physical model data, and construction template data by combining the device information of the smart home to be configured with the house attributes, the device attributes, the scene attributes, the networking attributes, and the logical service information of the smart home to be configured.

[0022] Furthermore, packaging and generating corresponding configuration files includes: packaging one or more of construction instance data, project node data, physical model data, construction template data, and corresponding data in an offline material library, and encapsulating related communication protocol libraries into corresponding configuration files.

[0023] Further, generating a networking setting file using the identification number includes:

[0024] The configuration terminal pre-stores the network attributes of the smart home to be configured and the generation rules of the identification number. The configuration terminal calculates the network attributes of the smart home to be configured according to the generation rules of the network attributes and the identification number, and generates a networking setting file according to the network attributes.

In an offline state, a configuration file that can be read and configured by the intelligent terminal is generated based on the configuration file generation rules and the construction tasks, so that it can be operated in an offline state without accessing the external network. At the same time, the configuration file generation rules and the construction tasks with smaller data packets can be downloaded in a weak network environment without downloading configuration files with larger data packets.

[0033] By obtaining the identification code of the smart terminal, the present application can reversely calculate the network properties of the smart terminal through the conversion rules between the identification code and the network properties of the smart terminal, thereby generating a corresponding networking setting file and sending it to the smart terminal, thereby configuring the network settings of the smart terminal so that it automatically joins the gateway.

[0034] This application obtains the identification codes of all smart terminals, thereby sending the networking whitelist corresponding to all trusted smart terminals to the gateway, and granting the trusted smart terminals networking permissions through the gateway.

[0035] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in the following description, and partly become apparent from the description, or understood by practicing the present invention. The purpose and other advantages of the present invention are realized and obtained by the structures particularly pointed out in the description and the drawings.

[0036] It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description of the present invention are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] Figure 1 A flowchart diagram of one embodiment of the present invention is provided.

[0038] Figure 2 A logic diagram is provided for one embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] Figure 3 Generate rule diagrams for configuration files. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention is now described in further detail by way of examples:

[0041] refer to Figure 1-2 , a method for offline batch configuration of smart homes, comprising the following steps:

[0042] S1, creating a construction task in the cloud, configuring the house attributes, equipment attributes, scene attributes, and networking attributes of the construction task, and sending the configuration file generation rules and the construction task to the configuration terminal;

[0043] In this step, the house attributes can be relevant attributes of the house such as bedroom, living room, entrance hall, etc., the device attributes can be relevant attributes such as lighting control panel, curtain control panel, air conditioning control panel, etc., the scene attributes can be scene attributes such as meeting and sleep, and the networking attributes can be attributes such as device A, device B, device C, etc.

[0044] In this step, a construction task can be created in the cloud through the background, and a corresponding app can be installed in the configuration terminal. Through the app, when the external network can be accessed, the configuration file generation rules and the construction tasks can be obtained by connecting to the Internet only once. Among them, since the configuration file generation rules and the construction tasks are generally text descriptions, only a few kb are needed to complete the delivery to the configuration terminal.

[0045] S2, obtaining an identification number of the smart home to be configured, and generating a networking setting file according to the identification number;

[0046] In this embodiment, the QR code on the smart home can be scanned by the camera of the configuration terminal, so that the identification numbers of multiple smart homes that need to be configured in the current house can be obtained in batches. The network setting file generated at this time is a file that can be recognized and directly read by the smart home to complete the network setting, and can be a file that records the relevant network attributes of the networking process, networking device attributes, etc.

[0047] S3, distributing the networking setting file to the smart home to be configured, so that the smart home to be configured can access the gateway according to the networking setting file, and networking a plurality of the smart homes to be configured;

[0048] In this step, if the smart home to be configured is not configured, it can be turned on automatically or operated to enter the networking state, establish a communication channel between the configuration terminal and the gateway, and then send the networking setting file to the gateway through the configuration terminal. After receiving the networking setting file, the gateway automatically connects each smart home to be configured to the gateway according to the network attributes of each smart home to be configured in the networking setting file, thereby forming a network. Therefore, in this step, there is no need to configure the network settings of each smart home to be configured separately, and it is only necessary to send the networking setting file to the gateway at one time.

[0049] S4, in the configuration terminal, according to the configuration file generation rule and the construction task, extract the corresponding data in the offline material library pre-stored in the configuration terminal, package and generate the corresponding configuration file, write the configuration file into the smart home to be configured, so that the smart home to be configured can display the corresponding interface and realize the corresponding functions.

[0050] This step is coordinated with S1 and is one of the core technical features of this application. Through step S1, a small data package can be downloaded, which includes construction tasks describing house attributes, equipment attributes, scene attributes, networking attributes, etc., and configuration file generation rules for how to generate configuration files from these attributes such as house attributes, equipment attributes, scene attributes, and networking attributes. Then, through this step, a configuration file is generated offline according to this configuration file generation rule.

[0051] At the same time, some smart homes with screens, such as control panels for controlling the opening and closing of curtains, generally include several buttons and screens. Before writing the corresponding configuration file, the smart home is still in its original state, and the functions of the buttons and the content to be displayed on the screen have not yet been defined. For example, if the function of the button is to open or close the curtains, the screen needs to display the image of the curtains, and display the animation of opening or closing the curtains during the opening or closing process, and can display the image of the corresponding room of the house when the control panel has not been used for a long time. These images or videos can be stored in the configuration terminal in the form of icon materials and are available offline. The configuration terminal extracts the corresponding content in these materials according to the configuration file generation rules. For example, if the function of the button is to open or close the curtains, the icon file of the curtain control and other images or videos related to the curtain control for display are extracted from the offline material library, and the files related to the functions, button definitions, configuration settings, etc. for configuring the smart home are generated based on the relevant information in the construction task according to the configuration file generation rules, and then all the above files are packaged to form a configuration file.

[0052] In the above, a configuration file is formed. At this time, the configuration file needs to be written into the smart home. At this time, the smart terminal has achieved networking connection with the gateway. The configuration file is sent to the corresponding gateway through the configuration terminal, and then the configuration file is sent to the smart terminal through the gateway. At this time, the attributes of the smart home are parsed by the gateway in the configuration file and given to the corresponding sub-device.

[0053] The configuration file generation rules can be found in Figure 3 Some of the rules listed may be data configuration rules provided by the manufacturer of the smart home.

[0054] At this time, as long as the smart home is initialized, the smart home will automatically read the configuration file and complete the initialization configuration after initialization, thereby realizing automatic configuration of the functions, display interface, etc. of the smart home.

[0055] Furthermore, the offline material library includes images or videos related to the house attributes, the equipment attributes, and the scene attributes.

[0056] Further, the device attributes include device images or video information corresponding to the smart home to be configured, and the scene attributes include device images or video information corresponding to the scene where the smart home to be configured is located;

[0057] Extracting corresponding data in the offline material library pre-stored in the configuration terminal includes: extracting corresponding images or videos from the offline material library according to device images or video information corresponding to the smart home to be configured and device images or video information corresponding to the scene where the smart home to be configured is located.

[0058] In this embodiment, the images or videos related to the house attributes may be, for example, images or videos of bedrooms, living rooms, and porches, and the images or videos related to the device attributes may be images or videos of the shape of the device or the description of the button position that matches the shape of the device, and then they are packaged. This is because these files such as videos or images occupy a large space, and if they are downloaded in a weak network environment, it will take a lot of time.

[0059] Further, after the configuration file generation rules and the construction tasks are sent to the configuration terminal, the following are executed:

[0060] The configuration terminal queries whether the current offline material library has all the required data according to the construction task, and if not, the configuration terminal downloads the missing data through the cloud.

[0061] Furthermore, networking the plurality of smart homes to be configured includes:

[0062] The networking setting file includes a networking whitelist of all the smart homes to be configured;

[0063] Establishing a communication channel between the gateway and the configuration terminal, and sending the networking whitelist to the gateway;

[0064] When the smart home to be configured accesses the gateway, the gateway queries whether the smart home to be configured belongs to the devices in the networking whitelist, and if so, allows access to the networking.

[0065] This step is also one of the core improvements of the present application. In the prior art, it is necessary to network the smart homes one by one, while the present application only needs to simultaneously obtain the identification codes of all the smart homes to be configured and bind them, aggregate the identification codes of all the smart homes together to form a networking whitelist, and send this networking whitelist to the gateway. When the gateway encounters a device access, it only needs to check through the gateway whether the new device belongs to the device in the networking whitelist. If so, it is allowed to access the networking, thereby realizing the networking of all smart homes at one time, without the need to join the network and other operations for each smart home separately.

[0066] Furthermore, the configuration file generation rules include generating one or more corresponding rules of construction instance data, project node data, physical model data, and construction template data by combining the device information of the smart home to be configured with the house attributes, the device attributes, the scene attributes, the networking attributes, and the logical service information of the smart home to be configured.

[0067] In this embodiment, the construction instance data is the data instantiated based on the template after the home selects the template. There are mainly two parts of data: one is the association relationship, such as the relationship between the instance scene and the template scene, and the relationship between the instance device and the template device; the second is the construction progress data, the house construction progress, the equipment code scanning binding result, and the debugging progress. The project node data contains the node data under the project, such as the data of the area, building, unit, etc. The object model data is a standardized method for digital description of the device. It defines the properties (property), commands (instructions / commands) (command) and events (event) of the device, so that different devices can interact with the Internet of Things platform in a unified way. The construction template data contains all the construction template data that has been issued and is being used under the project. These data are sent together to the smart terminal, and the smart terminal can be configured according to the file.

[0068] Furthermore, packaging and generating corresponding configuration files includes: packaging one or more of construction instance data, project node data, physical model data, construction template data, and corresponding data in an offline material library, and encapsulating related communication protocol libraries into corresponding configuration files.

[0069] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate subsequent debugging, a communication protocol library, such as TCP protocol, can be encapsulated in the packaged data, so that the smart terminal can convert between different protocols. In addition, after the smart home network is successfully established, the debugging phase can be entered. The debugging includes device debugging and intelligent application debugging, and the debugging protocol is consistent with the online one.

[0070] Further, generating a networking setting file using the identification number includes:

[0071] The configuration terminal pre-stores the network attributes of the smart home to be configured and the generation rules of the identification number. The configuration terminal calculates the network attributes of the smart home to be configured according to the generation rules of the network attributes and the identification number, and generates a networking setting file according to the network attributes.

[0072] In this embodiment, the identification number is generated according to certain rules based on the network attributes of the smart home to be configured, such as MAC address, IP address, etc. The rule can be pre-stored in the configuration terminal. After obtaining the identification number, the network attributes of the smart home to be configured can be obtained by inverse calculation through the rule, and then a networking setting file is generated according to the network attributes, so that the smart home can access the network according to the networking setting file.

[0073] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in S2, the identification numbers of all smart homes can be obtained at one time. In S4, the configuration files required by all smart homes are generated according to the identification numbers of all smart homes and packaged into a configuration package. The configuration package is then sent to the gateway, and the gateway parses the configuration package and sends each configuration file in the configuration package to the corresponding smart home.

[0074] A system for offline batch configuration of smart homes is further provided, comprising the following modules:

[0075] A construction task generation module is used to create a construction task in the cloud, configure the house attributes, equipment attributes, scene attributes, and networking attributes of the construction task, and send the configuration file generation rules and the construction task to the configuration terminal;

[0078] The configuration file generation module is used to extract the corresponding data in the offline material library pre-stored in the configuration terminal according to the configuration file generation rules and the construction task, package and generate the corresponding configuration file, and write the configuration file into the smart home to be configured, so that the smart home to be configured can display the corresponding interface and realize the corresponding functions.
