[0022] In this step, the device information may be hardware information or version information corresponding to the smart home device, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0023] In this step, the device information of different brands is different. The device information stored in each sub-server contains the correspondence between the device information and the brand information. In the subsequent control processing process, the brand information can be determined through the device information, or the device information can be determined based on the brand information. This is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0024] Step S103: upon receiving a scene instruction sent by the client, determining first brand information corresponding to the first device information according to the first device information of the device to be controlled carried in the scene instruction.

[0025] The control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, after synchronizing the device information stored in each sub-server to the server management platform, the server management platform can, upon receiving the scene instruction sent by the client, determine the first brand information corresponding to the first device information based on the first device information of the device to be controlled carried in the scene instruction.

[0026] Exemplarily, in this step, in the process of determining the scene instruction, the trigger condition corresponding to the scene instruction can be determined first, and then the state of the device under the trigger condition is determined, and then a scene instruction is generated according to the trigger condition and the state of the device.

[0027] Exemplarily, in this step, the trigger condition may be set such that when the temperature is greater than 27 degrees Celsius, the brand A device is turned on and the brand B device is turned off.

[0028] In this step, the first device information of the device to be controlled carried in the scene instruction can be the hardware information or version information of any smart home device, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0029] Exemplarily, in this step, in the process of determining the first brand information corresponding to the first device information of the device to be controlled carried in the scene instruction, the correspondence between the device information and the brand information can be found. When the first device information is obtained, the first brand information corresponding to the first device information can be determined based on the correspondence between the first device information and the first brand information.

[0030] Step S104: Convert the scene instruction into a device control instruction according to the brand information.

[0031] The control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the scene instruction sent by the client and determining the first brand information corresponding to the first device information of the device to be controlled carried in the scene instruction, the server management platform can also convert the scene instruction into a device control instruction according to the brand information.

[0032] In this step, any conversion method may be used to determine the device control instruction for the scene instruction, and the device control instruction is used to control the smart home device.

[0033] Furthermore, the first brand information includes at least two brand identification information; when converting the scene instruction into the device control instruction according to the brand information, the server management platform can identify the control information corresponding to each brand identification information in the scene instruction; based on the at least two brand identification information and the control information corresponding to the brand identification information, the scene instruction is split into at least two device control instructions; the device control instruction is used to instruct the device to be controlled corresponding to the brand identification information to perform the control operation corresponding to the control information.

[0034] In the embodiments of the present application, brand identification information can be used to distinguish different brands.

[0035] Exemplarily, the A logo is added to the device information of the first brand, and the B logo is added to the device information of the second brand, so that different brands can be distinguished according to the brand identification information, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0040] In this step, the control operation corresponding to the control information may be executing a corresponding control operation on the smart home device according to the control information. For example, if the control information is to turn off the air conditioner, the air conditioner can be turned off according to the control information.

[0041] Furthermore, when converting scene instructions into device control instructions based on brand information, the server management platform can encrypt the first device information and the first brand information to obtain a first execution code; the first execution code is used for communication verification between the server management platform and the sub-server; the first execution code is added to the scene instruction to obtain the device control instruction.

[0042] Exemplarily, the first execution code may be obtained by encrypting the first device information and the first brand information using any encryption processing method.

[0043] In this step, the communication verification may be a process of determining whether the communication between the server management platform and the sub-server is normal.

[0044] Exemplarily, in this step, the result of the communication verification may include but is not limited to verification passed, verification failed, verification result not displayed, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0045] In this step, the device control instruction can be determined according to the first execution code and the scene information.

[0046] Furthermore, the server management platform may receive verification feedback information sent by the first sub-server; the verification feedback information is used to indicate the communication verification between the server management platform and the first sub-server. The processing information corresponding to the verification feedback information is sent to the client; the processing information is used to notify the first sub-server that the verification fails; or, a new execution code is generated and sent to the first sub-server.

[0047] Exemplarily, the verification feedback information may be information fed back by the first sub-server after verification, and returns information indicating that the verification is passed, or that the verification is failed, or that no verification result is displayed to the server management platform.

[0048] In this step, after receiving the verification feedback information sent by the first sub-server, the server management platform will feedback processing information to the client, that is, the first sub-server can be notified of the verification result such as verification failure or success through the processing information.

[0049] In this step, if the verification fails, the server management platform will generate a new execution code and send the new execution code to the sub-server, which can be used for subsequent control processing.

[0050] Step S105: Determine the first sub-server based on the brand information.

[0051] In the control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, after converting the scene instruction into the device control instruction according to the brand information, the server management platform can determine the first sub-server based on the brand information.

[0052] In this step, brand information refers to configuration information of different brands, etc. The brand information of different manufacturers is different and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0053] In this step, the first sub-server may be a server for controlling any brand of smart home devices, and smart home devices of different brands are controlled by different sub-servers.

[0054] For example, for smart home devices of brand A, a first sub-server is required for control, and for smart home devices of brand B, a second sub-server is required for control, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0055] Step S106: Distribute the device control instruction to the first sub-server; the device control instruction is used to instruct the target sub-server to perform a control operation on the device to be controlled.

[0057] In this step, the device control instruction can be used to instruct the target sub-server to perform control operations on the controlled device. The device control instruction is an arbitrary control instruction, which may be an instruction to control the temperature of the refrigerator to be reduced to 10 degrees Celsius, or an instruction to control the temperature of the air conditioner to 28 degrees Celsius in heating mode, or an instruction to perform overall maintenance on the refrigerator, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0058] Furthermore, when distributing the device control instruction to the first sub-server, the server management platform may distribute at least two device control instructions to the first sub-servers corresponding to the at least two pieces of brand identification information respectively.

[0059] Exemplarily, in this step, one sub-server can control at least two smart home devices with brand identification information.

[0060] In this step, at least two device control instructions can be obtained from the scene instruction.

[0061] Furthermore, an account operation instruction sent by the client is received; the account operation instruction carries device account association information; the device account binding information is determined based on the device account association information; the device account binding information includes a brand account, and a device identifier and device status information associated with the brand account; and the device account binding information is distributed to a second sub-server corresponding to the device account association information.

[0068] Among them, the corresponding second sub-server can be determined according to the device account association information.

[0069] In this step, during the binding process of any smart home device, the bound device information needs to be updated on the server management platform.

[0070] In this step, the process of associating the account according to the device account binding information and the process of executing the scene instruction may not be the operation processes performed at the same time.

[0071] For example, in the present application, the process of changing the account information through the application software and shutting down the air conditioner according to the operating instructions can be steps processed at the same time or at different times, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0113] Step S206: Distribute the device control instruction to the sub-server; the device control instruction is used to instruct the sub-server to perform a control operation on the device to be controlled.

[0114] In the control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, after determining the first sub-server based on the brand information, the server management platform can distribute the device control instruction to the first sub-server; the device control instruction is used to instruct the target sub-server to perform a control operation on the device to be controlled.

[0115] In this step, the device control instruction can be used to instruct the target sub-server to perform control operations on the controlled device. The device control instruction is an arbitrary control instruction, which may be an instruction to control the temperature of the refrigerator to be reduced to 10 degrees Celsius, or an instruction to control the temperature of the air conditioner to 28 degrees Celsius in heating mode, or an instruction to perform overall maintenance on the refrigerator, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0116] Furthermore, when distributing the device control instruction to the first sub-server, the server management platform may distribute at least two device control instructions to the first sub-servers corresponding to the at least two pieces of brand identification information respectively.

[0117] Exemplarily, in this step, one sub-server can control at least two smart home devices with brand identification information.

[0118] In this step, at least two device control instructions are obtained from the scene instructions.

[0119] Furthermore, an account operation instruction sent by the client is received; the account operation instruction carries device account association information; the device account binding information is determined based on the device account association information; the device account binding information includes a brand account, and a device identifier and device status information associated with the brand account; and the device account binding information is distributed to a second sub-server corresponding to the device account association information.

[0120] In this step, the second sub-server may be determined based on the brand account, and the device identification and device status information associated with the brand account.

[0121] Exemplarily, in this step, the brand account may include, but is not limited to, user credentials corresponding to the brand account and authorization information corresponding to the brand account, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0122] Exemplarily, in this step, the device status information may include but is not limited to the working status or working mode of the smart home device, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0123] In this step, the account operation instruction is used to instruct to associate or disassociate an account, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0124] In this step, the account operation instruction includes device account association information, which is used to associate the device account.

[0125] In this step, the device account binding information is determined based on the device account association information, and the device account binding information may include a brand account, and a device identifier and device status information associated with the brand account.

[0126] Among them, the corresponding second sub-server can be determined according to the device account association information.

[0127] In this step, during the binding process of any smart home device, the bound device information needs to be updated on the server management platform.

[0128] In this step, the process of associating the account according to the device account binding information and the process of executing the scene instruction may not be the operation processes performed at the same time.

[0129] For example, in the present application, the process of changing the account information through the application software and shutting down the air conditioner according to the operating instructions can be steps processed at the same time or at different times, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0130] Step S207: The sub-server receives the device control instruction sent by the server management platform; the device control instruction is used to control the smart home device.

[0131] After distributing the device control instruction to the first sub-server; the device control instruction is used to instruct the first sub-server to perform a control operation on the device to be controlled, the sub-server receives the device control instruction sent by the server management platform; the device control instruction is used to control the smart home device.

[0132] Furthermore, the device control instruction carries a first execution code; after receiving the device control instruction sent by the server management platform, the sub-server extracts the execution code from the device control instruction; the execution code is verified; if the execution code verification passes, the execution code is sent to at least one smart home device, and the at least one smart home device is controlled based on the execution code.

[0133] Exemplarily, the process of verifying the execution code may include a process of verifying whether the communication between the server management platform and the sub-server is successful.

[0134] In this step, the smart home device can be any type of device, for example, an air conditioner, a refrigerator, a washing machine, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0135] In this step, the process of controlling at least one smart home device based on the execution code may be a control processing process of the smart home device by the sub-server according to the execution code and the device control instruction.

[0136] Furthermore, when the execution code verification fails, the sub-server sends verification feedback information to the server management platform; the verification feedback information is used to indicate the communication verification between the server management platform and the first sub-server.

[0137] In this step, when the execution code verification fails, the sub-server will send verification feedback information to the server management platform, that is, to realize information feedback between the server management platform and the first sub-server.

[0138] Furthermore, the sub-server receives and stores the device account binding information sent by the server management platform; wherein the device account binding information includes the brand account, and the device identification and device status information associated with the brand account.

[0139] In this step, after receiving the device account binding information sent by the server management platform, the sub-server will store the device account binding information locally.

[0140] Step S208: Distribute the device control instructions to the smart home devices to implement control processing of the smart home devices.

[0141] The sub-server receives the device control instruction sent by the server management platform; after the device control instruction is used to control the smart home device, the sub-server can distribute the device control instruction to the smart home device to realize the control processing of the smart home device.

[0142] In summary, in an embodiment of the present application, a control method, a control method, an apparatus, an electronic device and a storage medium are provided, wherein the method includes: establishing communication connections with sub-servers of different brands respectively to build a server management system; a sub-server is used to control a brand of smart home devices; the device information stored in each sub-server is synchronized to the server management platform; the device information includes the correspondence between the device information and the brand information; when a scene instruction sent by a client is received, the first brand information corresponding to the first device information is determined according to the first device information of the device to be controlled carried in the scene instruction; the scene instruction is converted into a device control instruction according to the brand information; the first sub-server is determined based on the brand information; the device control instruction is distributed to the first sub-server; the device control instruction is used to instruct the first sub-server to perform a control operation on the device to be controlled; the sub-server receives the device control instruction sent by the server management platform; the device control instruction is used to control the smart home device; the sub-server distributes the device control instruction to the smart home device to realize control processing of the smart home device. While providing a personalized control interface, the embodiments of the present application also improve the efficiency of control. During the control process, the server management platform can first determine the first brand information corresponding to the first device information based on the scene instruction; convert the scene instruction into a device control instruction based on the brand information, and then distribute the device control instruction to the first sub-server, which implements the control processing of the device to be controlled, thereby improving the control efficiency of the server management platform.

[0143] Reference Figure 3 , showing the steps of a control method provided by an embodiment of the present application Figure 3 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the method specifically includes steps S301 to S305: First, we need to design a server (called Server A) to store and manage the data of smart home appliances of various brands, and develop a user operation interface (called App A). ​​Server A will store the following data: associated brands, associated brand accounts, and detailed information under associated brand accounts. Users can associate smart home application accounts of various brands through App A, and after association, select different brands to bind and operate devices.

[0144] Step S301: Build a unified management platform.

[0145] The main function of server A is to store and manage smart home appliance data of multiple brands. Its data structure should include: associated brands, associated brand accounts, detailed information under brand accounts, etc.

[0146] Exemplarily, the associated brands refer to a list of smart home appliance brands supported by the storage.

[0147] Exemplarily, the associated brand account refers to the user credentials and authorization information of each brand account.

[0148] Exemplarily, the detailed information under the brand account may include a list of smart home appliances associated with the brand account and their status information.

[0149] Exemplarily, App A will serve as the main interface for users to interact with smart home devices, providing the following functions: account association, device binding, device operation, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0150] For example, during the account association process, the user can first associate the smart home application accounts of various brands through App A; App A will request the user to provide login credentials for the brand application and store the information in Server A.

[0151] After the association is completed, during the device binding process, the user can select the brand and bind the corresponding smart home appliance; at the same time, the device information will be stored in server A, including device ID, device status, etc.

[0152] During the device operation process, users can operate smart home appliances of the associated brand through App A; due to the different protocols and interfaces of each brand, App A will not communicate directly with the device, but will operate through the brand's own maintenance system.

[0153] After the user associates the brand account and binds the device through App A, the interaction of smart home appliances of various brands will be achieved through the following mechanisms: Brand A account association, multi-brand linkage, and scene command execution.

[0154] For example, after associating the account of Brand A, the account will be called Association A; the interaction between Association A and the smart home appliances under Brand A is maintained by Brand A itself, including the interface, protocol, etc., and App A will not directly intervene in these processes.

[0155] Step S302: Generate scene instructions.

[0156] For example, the multi-brand linkage process may include when a user requires devices of different brands to perform linkage operations (such as setting the air conditioner of brand A to execute cooling mode and the heater of brand B to execute heating mode), App A will generate a scene instruction.

[0157] Step S303: Generate execution code based on the scene instruction.

[0158] Exemplarily, the multi-brand linkage process may also include that the server of each brand will generate an execution code, and the execution code will be stored in the server of each brand and server A.

[0159] Exemplarily, the process of executing the scene instruction may include: when the user executes the scene instruction in App A, App A will obtain the corresponding execution code from Server A.

[0160] Step S304: transmit the execution code to the server of each brand.

[0161] The server passes the execution code to the server of each brand.

[0162] Step S305: Each brand server controls the device to perform corresponding actions according to the execution code.

[0163] Exemplarily, the preset condition of the scene instruction is that the temperature is greater than 27 degrees Celsius, that is, when the indoor temperature is greater than 27 degrees Celsius, the server controls the brand A device to start up and the brand B device to shut down, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
