[0002] Smart sockets are widely used in factories and homes. They have the ability to communicate with smart devices (e.g., via Bluetooth). Users only need to install the manufacturer's app on their smart devices to interact with the smart socket. These interactions include remotely controlling the socket's on / off state, monitoring its status, and setting timers for it to turn on. However, existing systems have a problem where users cannot accurately identify smart sockets. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems of existing technologies, this invention provides a control method for smart sockets. The method of this invention uses a smart terminal to identify the frequency used to send a specific binary sequence, and the smart terminal automatically adds an additional name to the hardware name of the smart socket based on the frequency used to send the specific binary sequence, thereby reducing the difficulty for users to distinguish between different smart sockets.

[0050] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: In existing systems, when a user establishes an initial connection with various smart sockets using a smart terminal app, the smart socket actually selected by the user may differ from the smart socket the user expected. This can lead to the user mistakenly disconnecting a smart socket that should not be powered off, resulting in serious consequences. Existing solutions to the aforementioned problem are relatively complex. This invention proposes a control method for smart sockets. The method proposed in this invention can improve the accuracy of users in identifying smart sockets and reduce the difficulty for users in distinguishing different smart sockets. Attached Figure Description

[0051] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram used to illustrate the technical problem of the present invention.

[0052] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a smart socket according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0054] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0055] In this invention, a smart socket can be a socket converter with only one outlet (e.g., a converter that converts a European standard outlet to a Chinese standard outlet, or a US standard outlet to a Chinese standard outlet), or a power strip with multiple outlets. In this invention, the smart terminal can be a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or smart TV, etc. The following embodiments of this invention are all described in a residential setting; however, it is understood that the method of this invention can be used to identify smart sockets in smart factories.

[0056] During our investigation of user feedback on the product, we discovered that the existing system has a problem where users cannot accurately identify smart sockets. The following is a summary... Figure 1 This section introduces the problems with the existing system. When renovating a new home, users often purchase smart sockets in bulk, especially when products are highly competitive; users may buy multiple smart sockets of the same brand and model. In this situation, when users establish an initial connection with various smart sockets using a smart terminal app, they may encounter a problem where they cannot distinguish which smart socket is the target. Figure 1 For example, if a user wants to complete the initial connection and configuration of smart socket AC in bedroom A, it should be understood that establishing the initial connection can be the smart terminal and the smart socket completing the initial pairing, so that the smart socket can send messages to the smart terminal. The initial configuration can be the user configuring certain parameters for the smart socket, such as temperature alarm parameters. When the temperature of the smart socket is higher than the temperature alarm parameters, the smart socket can send an alarm message to the smart terminal.

[0057] Ideally, when the user is in bedroom A, smart socket A is closest to the user, resulting in the strongest signal. In this case, the first item in the list of hardware devices that the smart terminal can choose to establish a Bluetooth connection with should be smart socket A. Following the current initial naming convention for Bluetooth devices, the hardware name of smart socket A could be "Cixi Winter Palace Smart Socket - Model xxxx". Ideally, when the user selects "Cixi Winter Palace Smart Socket - Model xxxx" as the first item in the hardware list, they are actually selecting smart socket A. Since the user is in bedroom A, they expect the first item in the hardware list, "Cixi Winter Palace Smart Socket - Model xxxx", to also be smart socket A. The user wants the selected smart socket to be the same one they actually selected, avoiding any selection errors. After the user selects "Cixi Winter Palace Smart Socket - Model xxxx" as the first item in the hardware list, the smart terminal pairs with smart socket A. Afterward, the user can change the hardware name of smart socket A, for example, to "Socket in Bedroom A". The user can then easily distinguish between different smart sockets using the modified hardware name.

[0058] In a less than ideal situation, there might be signal obstructions between smart socket A and the user (e.g., from appliances like TVs, refrigerators, or air conditioners, or other furniture), while smart socket C might be separated from the user by a door, meaning there are no signal obstructions between them. In this case, the signal between smart socket C and the smart device is strongest. Therefore, smart socket C will be the first item displayed in the hardware list that can be used to establish a Bluetooth connection. The hardware name for smart socket C in this list might be "Cixi Winter Palace Smart Socket - Model xxxx," while smart socket A might be the second item, or even further down the list. If the user selects "Cixi Winter Palace Smart Socket - Model xxxx" as the first item in the list, they are actually selecting smart socket C. However, since the user is still in bedroom A, they expect smart socket A to be the first item in the list. Subsequently, the user might change the hardware name of smart socket C to "Socket in Bedroom A." During subsequent use, the user may want to remotely turn off smart socket A in bedroom A. Therefore, the user selects "Socket in bedroom A" and turns off the socket. However, the socket named "Socket in bedroom A" is actually smart socket C. Therefore, after the user's operation, the socket that is actually powered off is smart socket C. In user feedback, this has caused serious problems (for example, bedroom C is a study, and due to the aforementioned misoperation, important unsaved files on the computer were lost).

[0059] Another problem is that the user wants to connect smart sockets B and C in bedroom A, but in the list of available hardware to establish a Bluetooth connection, both smart sockets B and C have the same hardware name, "Cixi Winter Palace Smart Socket - Model XXXX". Furthermore, the user cannot distinguish which smart socket is closer to them. Therefore, the user in bedroom A cannot tell which of the two smart sockets with the name "Cixi Winter Palace Smart Socket - Model XXXX" is smart socket B and which is smart socket C.

[0060] Existing solutions to the aforementioned problems are quite complex. A common approach requires users to accurately identify the hardware they are currently pairing based on its hardware ID. Specifically, manufacturers engrave the hardware ID on the back of the smart plug. Users then select and pair the hardware from a list of available devices. After pairing, the user reads the hardware ID and compares it to the hardware ID on the back of the smart plug. If they match, the user can confirm that the hardware selected in the list is the same as the actual smart plug in their hand. However, this method is very cumbersome. First, hardware IDs are long and irregular; for example, a smart plug's hardware ID might be "BTHENUM\Dev_0452C7C1EDCA," and comparing this sequence would take a considerable amount of time. Second, hardware IDs for products of the same model and from the same company are similar. Therefore, if the user is careless during the comparison, they may still mistakenly believe that the hardware selected in the list is the same as the actual smart plug in their hand, thus failing to solve the problems inherent in existing systems. In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention proposes a control method for a smart socket. The method proposed in this invention can improve the accuracy of users in identifying smart sockets and reduce the difficulty for users in identifying different smart sockets.

[0061] Example 1

[0062] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the method of the present invention includes:

[0063] Step 1: The user sets a user-defined number on the smart socket, wherein the smart socket includes at least a first smart socket and a second smart socket; in one example, the user-defined number can be an Arabic numeral from 1 to 100; in one example, the smart socket can visually display the user-defined number set by the user to the user; in one example, a schematic diagram of the smart socket of the present invention can be found... Figure 3 . Figure 3 The image shows a smart socket with four outlets and a display interface. Figure 3 In the example, the display currently shows the number "13", which indicates that the user-defined number set by the current user is "13". Figure 3 The document also shows a settings interface, which can be a mechanical button. Each time the user presses the mechanical button, a user-defined number can be incremented by 1. For example, in... Figure 3 In this state, if the user presses the mechanical button again, the user-defined number will change to "14". The settings interface can also be a touchscreen, where the user can directly enter the desired user-defined number.

[0064] Step 2: The smart socket sends a specific binary sequence to the smart terminal at different frequencies based on a user-defined number. In one example, in Bluetooth communication, the communication band is a relatively wide band, which can be divided into multiple communication bands to obtain multiple different frequencies. In one example, the specific binary sequence could be "010101010101". This binary sequence is chosen because such a pulse sequence is easily recognized by the smart terminal. Of course, it should be understood that other suitable binary sequences can also meet the requirements of this invention.

[0065] Step 3: The smart terminal identifies a specific binary sequence to determine the frequency used to send that specific binary sequence;

[0066] Step 4: The smart terminal adds an additional name to the hardware name of the smart socket based on the frequency used to send the specific binary sequence to obtain the complete name; and

[0067] Step 5: The smart terminal displays the full name to the user.

[0068] Example 2

[0069] In Example 2, the user sets a user-defined number on the smart socket, including:

[0070] The user sets a first user-defined number on the first smart socket; in one example, the user sets the first user-defined number on the first smart socket to "1";

[0071] The user sets a second user-defined number on the second smart plug, where the first user-defined number is different from the second user-defined number. In one example, the user sets the first user-defined number on the second smart plug to be "2".

[0072] The smart socket sends specific binary sequences to the smart terminal at different frequencies based on a user-defined number, including:

[0073] The first smart socket determines the first frequency based on a first user-defined number. In one example, before the smart socket leaves the factory, a correspondence table between the frequency and the user-defined number can be pre-written into the smart socket firmware. The smart socket can then determine the frequency based on the user-defined number by looking up the table. An example of such a correspondence table is as follows:

[0074] Table 1

[0075] User-defined number frequency 1 f1-f2 2 f2-f3 3 f3-f4 4 f4-f5 5 f5-f6 6 f6-f7 7 f7-f8

[0076] It is understood that Table 1 only illustrates the correspondence between user-defined numbers 1-7 and frequencies. Based on the example in Table 1, those skilled in the art can easily obtain the correspondence between other user-defined numbers and frequencies. Continuing the previous example, since the user sets the first user-defined number "1" on the first smart socket, the first smart socket can determine by looking up the table that the first smart socket should send a specific binary sequence to the smart terminal at frequencies f1-f2.

[0077] The first smart socket sends a specific binary sequence to the smart terminal at a first frequency; continuing the previous example, the first smart socket sends a specific binary sequence to the smart terminal at frequencies f1-f2.

[0078] The second smart socket determines the second frequency based on the second user-defined number; continuing the previous example, since the user sets the second user-defined number "2" on the second smart socket, the second smart socket can determine by looking up a table that the second smart socket should send a specific binary sequence to the smart terminal on the frequency f2-f3.

[0079] The second smart socket sends a specific binary sequence to the smart terminal on a second frequency, wherein the first frequency is different from the second frequency.

[0080] Example 3

[0081] In Example 3, the process of identifying a specific binary sequence by the smart terminal to determine the frequency used to transmit the specific binary sequence includes:

[0082] The smart terminal identifies that the first smart socket sends a specific binary sequence to the smart terminal on a first frequency. It is understood that, in this step, when the first smart socket sends the specific binary sequence to the smart terminal, it may include its identifier in the message header (i.e., the message header includes the first smart socket's identifier, and the payload includes the specific binary sequence). After receiving this message, the smart terminal can determine which smart socket sent the specific binary sequence to the smart terminal on which frequency.

[0083] The smart terminal identifies that the second smart socket sends a specific binary sequence to the smart terminal on the second frequency.

[0084] The smart terminal adds an additional name to the hardware name of the smart socket based on the frequency used to send a specific binary sequence to obtain the complete name, which includes:

[0085] The first user-defined number is determined by the smart terminal sending a specific binary sequence to the smart terminal on the first frequency based on the first smart socket. In one example, when the smart terminal installs an APP, the APP can include a corresponding table as shown in Table 1. Based on the specific binary sequence sent by the first smart socket on the first frequency, the smart terminal can obtain the first user-defined number "1" by looking up Table 1.

[0086] The first complete name is obtained by adding a first user-defined number to the hardware name of the first smart socket via a smart terminal; in one example, the specific format of the first complete name could be "1-Cixi Winter Palace Smart Socket-xxxx Model".

[0087] The second user-defined number is determined by the smart terminal sending a specific binary sequence to the smart terminal on the second frequency based on the second smart socket. In one example, the smart terminal can obtain the second user-defined number "2" by looking up Table 1 after receiving the specific binary sequence sent by the second smart socket on the second frequency.

[0088] The second user-defined number is added to the hardware name of the second smart socket by the smart terminal to obtain the second complete name. In one example, the specific form of the first complete name could be "2-Cixi Winter Palace Smart Socket-xxxx Model".

[0089] Example 4

[0090] In Example 4, the method further includes:

[0091] After the smart terminal displays the full name to the user, the user resets a third user-defined number on the first smart socket. This third user-defined number is different from the first user-defined number. In one scenario, because there are multiple smart sockets in the user's residence, the user may unintentionally set two different smart sockets to the same user-defined number. In this case, two identical hardware names will be displayed in the hardware list. The user should be allowed to reset the user-defined number in this situation. In one example, the third user-defined number might be "7".

[0092] The user-defined ID set by the first smart socket was changed;

[0093] After the first smart socket recognizes that the user-defined number has been changed, the first smart socket determines the third frequency based on the third user-defined number. Continuing the previous example, since the third user-defined number set by the user on the first smart socket is "7", the first smart socket can determine by looking up a table that the first smart socket should send a specific binary sequence to the smart terminal on the frequency f7-f8.

[0094] The first smart socket sends a specific binary sequence to the smart terminal on a third frequency, wherein the third frequency is different from the first frequency.

[0095] The method also includes:

[0096] The smart terminal identifies that the first smart socket sends a specific binary sequence to the smart terminal on the third frequency;

[0097] The third user-defined number is determined by the smart terminal sending a specific binary sequence to the smart terminal on the third frequency based on the first smart socket. In one example, the smart terminal can obtain the third user-defined number "7" by looking up Table 1 after receiving the specific binary sequence sent by the first smart socket on the third frequency.

[0098] The third user-defined number is added to the hardware name of the first smart socket by the smart terminal to obtain the third complete name;

[0099] The third complete name is displayed to the user via a smart terminal. In one example, the specific form of the third complete name could be "7-Cixi Winter Palace Smart Socket-xxxx Model".

[0100] The following recombination Figure 1 The effects of this invention are described. Assuming the user is... Figure 1 If a user-defined number "1" is set on smart socket A, "3" on smart socket B, and "5" on smart socket C, then according to the method of this invention, in the hardware list of the smart terminal, regardless of the position of smart socket A in the list, the hardware name of smart socket A will be "1-Cixi Winter Palace Smart Socket-xxxx Model", regardless of the position of smart socket B in the list, the hardware name of smart socket B will be "3-Cixi Winter Palace Smart Socket-xxxx Model", and regardless of the position of smart socket C in the list, the hardware name of smart socket C will be "5-Cixi Winter Palace Smart Socket-xxxx Model". Since the user-defined number on the smart socket is set by the user, the smart socket selected by the user in the hardware list will be the same smart socket that the user wants to pair with. Afterwards, the user can change the hardware name of smart socket A from "1-Cixi Winter Palace Smart Socket-xxxx Model" to "Socket in Bedroom A" for easier identification and control later. Even if the user forgets the user-defined number set on smart socket B, they can simply check the display window on the smart socket to find out the user-defined number. This invention significantly reduces the difficulty for users to identify smart sockets.
