[0023] In addition, in the description of the application and the appended claims, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] In the present application, the reference "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" and the like means that the specific features, structures or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment are included in one or more embodiments of the application. Therefore, the statements "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in other some embodiments", "in additional some embodiments" and the like appearing in different places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0025] As the intelligent degree improves, more and more intelligent devices appear in our life, such as intelligent lamps, intelligent sound, intelligent household appliances, etc. Since these intelligent devices come from different manufacturers, different protocols may be used by intelligent devices from different manufacturers, which makes it difficult for users to use, and different APPs need to be downloaded for use.

[0026] Based on the technical problems existing in the prior art, the embodiments of the present application provide a data conversion device, which comprises a main control unit 22, and an interface unit 21 and a communication unit 23 connected with the main control unit 22.

[0027] One end of the interface unit 21 is connected with the main control unit 22, and the other end is used to connect the electrical appliance 10. After the interface unit 21 is connected with the electrical appliance 10, the interface unit 21 can forward the data exchanged between the electrical appliance 10 and the main control unit 22. Wherein the external device includes a server 31 and a user terminal device 32.

[0028] The main control unit 22 is connected with the interface unit 21 and the communication unit 23 at the same time, and can establish a communication connection with the external device through the communication unit 23.

[0029] When the interface unit 21 is connected to the electrical appliance 10 for the first time, the interface unit 21 generates a connection information, which is sent to the server 31 through the master control unit 22 and the communication unit 23. The server 31 sends the connection information to the user terminal device 32, and an APP is installed on the user terminal device 32. When the user terminal device 32 receives the connection information, the APP can find the connected electrical appliance 10, and the user can set the attribute information of the electrical appliance 10 on the APP, wherein the attribute information at least includes the manufacturer information of the electrical appliance 10. The attribute information set by the user is sent to the server 31 through the APP, and the server 31 sends the attribute information to the conversion device according to the connection information, so that the attribute information set by the user can be associated with the electrical appliance 10 through the connection information.

[0030] Next, the server 31 sends the attribute information to the master control unit 22 through the communication unit 23 of the conversion device. After receiving the attribute information, the master control unit 22 determines the conversion protocol for data conversion of the electrical appliance 10 according to the attribute information, and notifies the interface unit 21 of the conversion protocol, so that the interface unit 21 can convert the data required to be output by the electrical appliance 10 into data in the asynchronous receiver-transmitter serial port protocol (UART serial port communication protocol) using the conversion protocol. At the same time, the interface unit 21 can also convert the data sent by the master control unit 22 to the electrical appliance 10 into data in a protocol format matched with the electrical appliance 10 according to the conversion protocol.

[0031] In the present application, the conversion direction of the data conversion device has two directions, one is to send the data required to be output by the electrical appliance 10 to the server 31 after conversion by the interface unit 21 and the master control unit 22. The other is to send instructions from the user terminal device 32 with the APP to the electrical appliance 10 or send data from the server 31 to the electrical appliance 10.

[0032] In the process of sending the data of the electrical appliance 10 to the server 31, the data output by the electrical appliance 10 is first converted into data in the UART serial port communication protocol type by the interface unit 21 according to the conversion protocol, and the data in the UART serial port communication protocol type is sent to the master control unit 22. After receiving the data in the UART serial port communication protocol type, the master control unit 22 extracts the key information from the data.

[0033] Since the data of the UART serial communication protocol type contains a specified flag bit, after receiving the UART serial communication protocol type data, the main control unit 22 will identify the specified flag bit in the data and extract the key information in the data according to the identified specified flag bit. The key data here includes: the type of electrical device 10 and the data that electrical device 10 needs to send out, etc.

[0034] In some embodiments, the main control unit 22 can send the extracted key data to the server 31, which in turn sends it to the APP on the user terminal device 32, enabling real-time monitoring of the electrical appliance 10 through the APP. Alternatively, the data can be stored on the server 31. When needed, the user terminal device 32 can retrieve historical data from the server 31, allowing the user to easily understand the historical and current operating status of the electrical appliance 10. This solves the problem in the prior art where users find it difficult to understand the status of smart devices due to the different protocols used by smart devices from different manufacturers.

[0035] During the process of a user issuing commands to the electrical appliance 10 via a user terminal device 32 equipped with an APP, or a server 31 sending data to the electrical appliance 10, the user can edit commands or other operation steps on the APP and send these edited contents to the server 31, which then sends them to the communication unit 23 of the conversion device. After receiving the data from the server 31, the communication unit 23 sends the data to the main control unit 22, which then sends the data to the interface unit 21. The interface unit 21 converts the data into data corresponding to the device type of the electrical appliance 10 according to the conversion protocol, thus enabling the user to control the electrical appliance 10 without relying on the manufacturer's protocol. This solves the problem in the prior art where users have difficulty controlling smart devices due to different protocols used by smart devices from different manufacturers.

[0036] Alternatively, control commands can be preset in server 31, and server 31 can send data to the conversion device through the preset control commands.

[0037] The data conversion device in this application can be configured as an independently powered device, meaning that the power consumption of the conversion device is supplied by itself. However, this method would increase the size of the conversion device and also present a battery life problem. Therefore, in some embodiments, the conversion device of this application is provided with a power supply unit 24. The power supply unit 24 is connected to the communication unit 23, the main control unit 22, and the interface unit 21. When the interface unit 21 is connected to the electrical device 10, the power supply unit 24 can draw power from the electrical device 10 and supply power to the main control unit 22, the interface unit 21, and the communication unit 23.

[0038] In order to allow users to better understand whether the connection between the conversion device and the electrical equipment 10 and the user terminal device 32 is successful, in some embodiments, the conversion device further includes a prompting unit 25.

[0039] The prompting unit 25 is connected to the main control unit 22. The prompting unit 25 is used to issue prompting information according to the control of the main control unit 22. The prompting information includes information that the external device has successfully connected to the electrical device 10 through the data conversion device.

[0040] When electrical device 10 successfully connects to user terminal device 32 via conversion equipment, main control unit 22 controls prompting unit 25 to issue a reminder message. Prompt unit 25 can be an LED light, and the reminder message can be different lighting states or flashing states of the LED light. Of course, communication unit 23 in this application can be WIFI, or 5G, Bluetooth, IoT, or other communication technologies; this application does not impose any limitations.

[0041] The data conversion device can convert data from electrical devices 10 from different manufacturers, making it convenient for users to use smart devices with different protocols and standards, and enabling unified control and use of devices from multiple different manufacturers, providing users with a more convenient and intelligent smart home experience.

[0042] By using server 31 as an intermediary to process and transmit connection information, users can select the manufacturer information of the connected electronic device 10 through the APP without directly operating the electronic device or appliance 10. This greatly improves the system's usability and user experience, and makes the smart home system more flexible and scalable.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the interactions between the electrical equipment 10, the conversion device, the server 31, and the user terminal device 32 in this application are as follows:

[0044] When the conversion device and the electrical device 10 are connected for the first time, the conversion device will send connection information to the server 31. The connection information will be sent by the server 31 to the user terminal device 32. After the user terminal device 32 receives the connection information, it can find the connected electrical device 10 through the APP on the user terminal device 32. The user can then set the attribute information of the electrical device 10. The set attribute information will be sent to the server 31 and then sent to the conversion device by the server 31.

[0045] The main control unit 22 in the conversion device can determine the conversion protocol used by the interface unit 21 to implement data conversion based on the attribute information, and notify the interface unit 21 of the conversion protocol, so that the interface unit 21 can convert the data that the electrical device 10 needs to send into serial port protocol data through the conversion protocol, and can also convert the data that needs to be input into the electrical device 10 into the data of the electrical device 10's preset protocol.

[0046] After the conversion device is configured, data from electrical device 10 can be obtained through the conversion device or the electrical device 10 can be controlled through the conversion device.

[0047] During the process of transmitting data from electrical device 10, interface unit 21 acquires the data transmitted by electrical device 10, and then converts the data transmitted by electrical device 10 into serial port protocol data through conversion protocol. Main control unit 22 identifies the serial port protocol data by specifying the flag bit, extracts key data from the serial port protocol data according to the specified flag bit, and sends the key data to server 31.

[0048] When controlling electrical equipment through a conversion device, the user presets instructions or operation data on the user terminal device 32. The instructions or operation data are sent to the server 31, and then sent to the conversion device via the server 31. The interface unit 21 in the conversion device converts the instructions or operation data into data of the preset protocol of the electrical equipment 10 according to the conversion protocol, and sends it to the electrical equipment 10 to realize the control of the electrical equipment.

[0049] Example 2:

[0050] To address the problems existing in the current technology, such as Figure 3 As shown, this application provides a data conversion method. The method is implemented in electronic production equipment, which may include servers, mobile terminals, computers, cloud platforms, and conversion devices. The data processing functionality provided in this application can be achieved by the processor of the electronic production equipment calling program code, wherein the program code can be stored in a computer storage medium. The conversion method includes:

[0051] Step S1: In response to the access of electrical equipment, send the connection information of the electrical equipment to the external device.

[0052] In some embodiments, step S1, "sending the connection information of the electrical device to an external device," includes:

[0053] Step S11: Send the connection information of the electrical device to the server, so that the server can forward it to the user terminal device, so that the user can select the attribute information of the electrical device through the connection information of the electrical device prompted by the user terminal device.

[0054] When the interface unit first connects to the electrical device, it generates connection information, which is then sent to the server via the main control unit and communication unit. An app is installed on the user's device, allowing the user to configure the electrical device's properties, including at least the manufacturer. The user-configured properties are sent to the server via the app. Since connection information from the conversion device exists at this point, the user-configured properties can be linked to the electrical device using this connection information.

[0055] Step S2: Receive the attribute information of the electrical device fed back by the external device. The attribute information of the electrical device is determined based on the connection information of the electrical device.

[0056] In some embodiments, step S2, "receiving attribute information of the electrical device fed back by the external device," includes:

[0057] Step S21: Receive the attribute information of the electrical device forwarded by the server, wherein the attribute information of the electrical device is fed back by the user terminal device.

[0058] Step S3: Determine the data protocol used by the electrical appliance based on its attribute information.

[0059] The server sends attribute information to the main control unit via the communication unit of the conversion device. Upon receiving the attribute information, the main control unit determines the conversion protocol for data conversion of the electrical equipment and notifies the interface unit of this protocol. This allows the interface unit to use the conversion protocol to convert the data to be sent by the electrical equipment into data using the Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter Serial Protocol (UART) serial communication protocol. Simultaneously, the interface unit can also convert the data sent by the main control unit to the electrical equipment into a protocol format compatible with the electrical equipment, based on the conversion protocol.

[0060] Step S4: Perform data conversion on the data interacting with the electrical equipment according to the data protocol of the electrical equipment application.

[0061] The data conversion device in this application has two conversion directions: one is to send the data that the electrical equipment needs to output to the server after conversion by the interface unit and the main control unit; the other is for the user to issue commands to the electrical equipment through a user terminal device equipped with an APP, or for the server to send data to the electrical equipment.

[0062] In some embodiments, step S4, "converting the data interacting with the electrical device according to the data protocol applied by the electrical device," includes:

[0063] Step S41: According to the data protocol used by the electrical equipment, convert the instructions sent by the main control unit into instructions that the electrical equipment can recognize. The instructions sent by the main control unit include control instructions sent by the external device.

[0064] Step S42: Send the instruction that the electrical device can recognize to the electrical device.

[0065] During the process of a user issuing commands to an electrical appliance via a user-end device equipped with an app, or a server sending data to the electrical appliance, the user can edit commands or other operation steps on the app and send these edits to the server. The server then forwards the edits to the communication unit of the conversion device. After receiving the data from the server, the communication unit sends the data to the main control unit, which in turn sends the data to the interface unit. The interface unit converts the data into data corresponding to the type of the electrical appliance according to the conversion protocol, thus enabling the user to control the electrical appliance without relying on the manufacturer's protocol. This solves the problem in existing technologies where users find it difficult to effectively control smart devices due to the different protocols used by smart devices from different manufacturers.

[0066] Alternatively, you can choose to preset control commands in the server, and the server will send data to the conversion device through the preset control commands.

[0067] In some embodiments, step S4, "converting the data interacting with the electrical device according to the data protocol applied by the electrical device," further includes:

[0068] Step S43: According to the data protocol of the electrical equipment, convert the received data from the electrical equipment into data that the main control unit can recognize, and send it to the main control unit.

[0069] Step S44: The main control unit extracts data of a specified flag bit from the received data based on the attribute information of the electrical device, and determines the type and status of the electrical device according to the data of the specified flag bit.

[0070] During the process of sending data from electrical equipment to the server, the data output by the electrical equipment is first converted into UART serial communication protocol type data by the interface unit according to the conversion protocol, and then sent to the main control unit. After receiving the UART serial communication protocol type data, the main control unit extracts key information from the data.

[0071] Because the data in the UART serial communication protocol type contains specified flag bits, the main control unit will identify the specified flag bits after receiving the UART serial communication protocol type data. Based on the identified special standard bits, the key information in the data will be extracted. The key data here includes: the type of electrical equipment and the data that the electrical equipment needs to send out, etc.

[0072] In some embodiments, the main control unit can send the extracted key data to the server, which then sends it to the user's mobile app, enabling real-time monitoring of the electrical equipment. Alternatively, the data can be stored on the server. When needed, the user's mobile device can retrieve historical data from the server, allowing the user to easily understand the historical and current operating status of the electrical equipment. This solves the problem in existing technologies where different manufacturers' smart devices use different protocols, making it difficult for users to understand the status of smart devices.

[0073] To allow users to better understand whether the connection between the conversion device, electrical equipment, and user-end equipment is successful, in some embodiments, the method further includes the following steps:

[0074] Step S5: Upon receiving the attribute information of the electrical device, output a prompt message, which includes information that the external device has successfully connected to the electrical device through the data conversion device.

[0075] When the electrical equipment successfully connects to the user terminal equipment via the conversion device, the main control unit controls the prompting unit to issue a reminder message. The prompting unit can be an LED light, and the reminder message can be different lighting states or flashing states of the LED light. Of course, the communication unit in this application can be WIFI, 5G, IoT, or other communication technologies; this application does not impose any limitations.

[0076] Data conversion methods can convert data from electrical devices from different manufacturers, making it easier for users to use smart devices with different protocols and standards, and enabling unified control and use of devices from multiple different manufacturers, providing users with a more convenient and intelligent smart home experience.
