[0045] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0046] The present invention relates to the field of smart home control and is applied to scenarios where devices are interconnected.

[0047] With the improvement of living standards, more and more home appliances have entered ordinary people's homes, bringing convenience to people. But at the same time, the operation of home appliances produces some noise. At present, most home appliance manufacturers reduce the decibel of the equipment by improving the mechanical principles of home appliances, but this noise reduction method has high R&D costs and the noise reduction effect is not ideal.

[0048] Based on this, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a device control method, which designs an intelligent device working scheme based on the real-time signal strength for the sound generated by the device during operation, so that when the user is close to the device that generates sound during operation, the device automatically reduces the decibel of its operation or works without sound, and after the user moves away from the device, it returns to normal operation, that is, different signal strength ranges execute different working modes.

[0049] In the context of the present disclosure, the device involved is a smart home device, which may be a home appliance.

[0050] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a device control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0051] In step S11, it is determined that the first device that emits sound when working is in a working state.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is determined that the device generating the noise is in a working state, that is, the sound generated by the device when in operation is greater than a decibel threshold.

[0053] In step S12, based on the real-time signal strength of the communication connection signal between the first device and the second device, the first device is controlled to emit a sound decibel value matching the real-time signal strength.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, there is a corresponding relationship between signal strength and sound decibel value, and different signal strengths are called first signal strength and second signal strength, wherein the sound decibel value corresponding to the first signal strength is smaller than the sound decibel value corresponding to the second signal strength, and the first signal strength is greater than the second signal strength.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the real-time signal strength between the device generating noise during operation and the mobile terminal, the device generating noise during operation is controlled to emit a sound decibel value corresponding to the real-time signal strength between the device generating noise and the mobile terminal.

[0056] Among them, in the embodiments in the context of the present disclosure, the device that generates noise during operation is the first device, and the mobile terminal is the second device.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the greater the signal strength between the device generating noise during operation and the mobile terminal, the smaller the sound decibel value generated by the device generating noise during operation is controlled.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the real-time signal strength of the communication connection signal between the first device and the second device being greater than a strength threshold, and / or the decibel value of a sound emitted when the first device is running being greater than a decibel threshold, the first device is controlled to emit a decibel value of a sound that matches the real-time signal strength.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the device that generates noise during operation is interconnected with the mobile terminal.

[0060] Exemplarily, a Bluetooth module or a wireless network module is placed in the device that generates noise during operation, and the device and the mobile terminal are placed in the same local area network or the device and the mobile terminal are connected via Bluetooth. Based on the signal strength of the Bluetooth signal or the wireless network signal between the device that generates noise during operation and the mobile terminal, the real-time signal strength between the device and the mobile terminal is detected.

[0061] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the mobile terminal should have a sound collection function. When the mobile terminal controls a device that generates noise during operation, it is necessary to obtain the decibel value of the sound of the device to determine whether the device exceeds the decibel threshold.

[0062] Exemplarily, the mobile terminal obtains the decibel value of the sound of the noise-generating device in operation through a microphone.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the mobile terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart wearable device, or other mobile terminals.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, if the real-time signal strength between the device generating noise during operation and the mobile terminal is greater than a strength threshold, and the decibel value of the sound emitted by the device generating noise during operation is greater than the decibel threshold, the decibel value of the sound emitted by the device generating noise during operation is controlled to match the decibel value of the sound of the real-time signal strength.

[0065] Exemplarily, when the mobile terminal is very close to the device, and the noise generated by the device during operation is very loud, the device is controlled to emit a smaller sound or stop operating.

[0066] Exemplarily, when the mobile terminal is very close to the device and the noise generated by the operation of the device is very loud, if this is the moment when the device is started, the startup of the device can be controlled to be delayed.

[0067] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, if the real-time signal strength between the device generating noise during operation and the mobile terminal is greater than a strength threshold, the decibel value of the sound emitted by the device is controlled to match the decibel value of the real-time signal strength.

[0068] Exemplarily, when the mobile terminal is very close to the device, the decibel value of the sound emitted by the device is controlled to match the decibel value of the real-time signal strength.

[0069] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, if the decibel value of the sound emitted by the device generating noise during operation is much greater than the decibel threshold, the decibel value of the sound emitted by the device is controlled to match the decibel value of the sound of the real-time signal strength.

[0070] For example, when the noise generated by the device during operation is very loud, the device can also be controlled to emit a smaller sound.

[0071] Figure 2 is a flow chart showing a method of controlling a first device to emit a sound decibel value matching a real-time signal strength according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0072] In step S21, based on the corresponding relationship between the signal strength and the sound decibel level, the sound decibel level corresponding to the real-time signal strength is determined.

[0073] In step S22, the first device is controlled to emit a sound according to the sound decibel level corresponding to the real-time signal strength.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the corresponding relationship includes a corresponding relationship between multiple signal strengths and multiple sound decibel levels, and different signal strengths correspond to different sound decibel levels.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the signal strength between the device generating noise during operation and the mobile terminal is divided into different levels, the sound decibel value of the device generating noise during operation is also divided into different levels, and the different levels of signal strength correspond to the different levels of sound decibel value, that is, different signal strength levels between the device generating noise during operation and the mobile terminal correspond to different sound decibel levels of the device generating noise. And the device is controlled to operate according to the sound decibel level corresponding to the real-time signal strength between the device generating noise and the mobile terminal.

[0076] Exemplarily, the signal strength between the device generating noise in operation and the mobile terminal is divided into three levels, namely, the first level signal strength, the second level signal strength and the third level signal strength, wherein the first level signal strength is greater than the second level signal strength, and the second level signal strength is greater than the third level signal strength.

[0077] Correspondingly, the sound decibels of the equipment generating noise during operation are also divided into three levels, namely, the first level sound decibels, the second level sound decibels and the third level sound decibels. Among them, the first level sound decibels is greater than the second level sound decibels, and the second level sound decibels is greater than the third level sound decibels.

[0078] When the signal strength between the device generating noise during operation and the mobile terminal is at the first level of signal strength, the device generating noise is controlled to emit the third level of sound decibels; when the signal strength between the device generating noise during operation and the mobile terminal is at the second level of signal strength, the device generating noise is controlled to emit the second level of sound decibels; when the signal strength between the device generating noise during operation and the mobile terminal is at the third level of signal strength, the device generating noise is controlled to emit the first level of sound decibels. That is, different signal strengths correspond to different gear levels, realizing dynamic adjustment.

[0079] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing a signal strength matching sound decibel value between a mobile terminal and a device generating sound in operation according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 shown.

[0080] When the user carrying the mobile terminal walks from A to B, the real-time signal strength between the user carrying the mobile terminal and the running device increases, and the device changes from the operation mode a with a louder sound to the operation mode b with a quieter sound.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the signal strength of the communication connection signal between the first device and the second device being less than or equal to a strength threshold, the first device is controlled to emit a sound according to a default sound decibel value.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the signal strength between the device generating noise during operation and the mobile terminal is less than the signal strength threshold, the device generating noise during operation is defaulted to operate according to the original sound decibel value.

[0083] Exemplarily, if the signal strength between the device generating noise during operation and the mobile terminal is less than a signal strength threshold, the device operates in a default state.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the signal strength between the device generating noise during operation and the mobile terminal is equal to the signal strength threshold, the device generating noise during operation is defaulted to operate according to the original sound decibel value.

[0085] Exemplarily, when the signal strength between the device generating noise during operation and the mobile terminal is equal to the signal strength threshold, the device operates in a default state.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the signal strength is reduced from being greater than a signal strength threshold to being less than the signal strength threshold, the device generating noise during operation is defaulted to operate at the original sound decibel value.

[0087] Exemplarily, when the signal strength of the mobile terminal decreases from being greater than the signal strength threshold to being less than the signal strength threshold, the device operates in a default state.

[0088] Figure 3 The present invention is a flowchart showing a method of controlling the first device to emit a sound decibel value matching the real-time signal strength based on the real-time signal strength of the communication connection signal between the first device and the second device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0089] In step S31, it is determined that the first device that emits sound when working is in a working state.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is determined that the device generating the noise is in a working state.

[0091] In step S32, the first device detects the real-time signal strength of the communication connection signal between the first device and the second device, and based on the detected real-time signal strength, controls the first device to emit a sound decibel value matching the real-time signal strength.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a device that generates noise during operation detects the real-time signal strength between the device and the mobile terminal. Based on the detected real-time signal strength and its own operating status acquired in real time, the device controls the emission of a sound decibel value that matches the real-time signal strength.

[0093] Exemplarily, when a device that generates noise during operation detects real-time signal strength, the device can match the mobile terminal list associated with itself based on relevant information of the signal, such as the local area network address or name, and determine a mobile terminal that meets the conditions, that is, a mobile terminal with enhanced real-time signal strength between the device and the device.

[0094] In step S33, a control instruction sent by the second device is received, and based on the control instruction, the first device is controlled to send a sound decibel value that matches the real-time signal strength.

[0095] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a mobile terminal detects the real-time signal strength between the mobile terminal and the device generating noise during operation. Based on the detected real-time signal strength and the real-time acquired sound decibel value of the device, the mobile terminal controls the emission of a sound decibel value matching the real-time signal strength.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the control instruction is issued by the second device in response to the detected real-time signal strength of the communication connection signal between the first device and the second device being greater than the strength threshold, and / or the decibel value of the sound emitted by the first device when running being greater than the decibel threshold. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the decibel value of the sound emitted by the first device does not match the decibel value of the sound of the real-time signal strength, a prompt message is issued, and the prompt message is used to prompt that the decibel value of the sound emitted by the first device is greater than the threshold.

[0097] In the disclosed embodiment, if the sound decibel value of the device generating noise during operation does not match the sound decibel value of the real-time signal strength, that is, the device cannot be stopped or the mode cannot be switched, a prompt message is issued.

[0098] For example, if the decibel value of the device generating noise during operation does not match the decibel value of the real-time signal strength, the device cannot be stopped or the mode cannot be switched, and a prompt will be issued that the device may generate noise.

[0099] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the working state being the initial startup state and the real-time signal strength of the communication connection signal between the first device and the second device being greater than a strength threshold, the first device is delayed from entering the operation stage of emitting sound.

[0100] In the disclosed embodiment, when the noise-generating device is started, it can be delayed for a period of time before entering the noise-generating working state, that is, it can be delayed for a period of time, and then operate according to the original sound decibel value, and perform real-time signal strength and strength threshold judgment.

[0101] When the noise-generating device is started, the device sends a prompt to the mobile terminal indicating that there may be noise and whether to delay the start-up. The user determines whether to delay the start-up through the mobile terminal.

[0102] For example, at the moment when the noise-generating device is started, the mobile terminal receives a pop-up prompt from the device indicating that there may be noise and whether the startup needs to be delayed, for example: there may be noise, should I delay for 10 seconds; there may be noise, should I wait until you are away before running, etc.

[0103] Furthermore, after the noise-generating device is delayed for a period of time, the sound decibel value is still reduced if the signal strength is greater than the threshold, and different signal strengths correspond to different sound decibel levels; if the signal strength is less than the threshold, it will operate according to the original sound decibel value by default.

[0104] An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure shows a device control method, including the following steps:

[0105] 1. Place Bluetooth modules and WIFI modules in devices that may generate noise during operation. Bluetooth and WIFI modules are used to connect to the network to receive instructions. You can choose one of them, and you don’t have to place both.

[0106] 2. The mobile terminal will connect to the device that may generate noise, sense the working condition of the device in real time, and obtain the current working decibel based on the working condition.

[0107] 3. The mobile terminal will detect the real-time signal strength of the device that generates noise during operation, that is, set a signal strength threshold A. When the signal strength threshold is exceeded, it is considered that the user is relatively close to the device; when it is lower than the signal strength threshold B, it is considered that the person is relatively far away and will not be disturbed by noise. The signal strength detection is completed through WIFI or Bluetooth.

[0108] 4. When the signal strength between the mobile terminal and the device generating noise during operation increases from threshold B to threshold A, and the working noise at this time is greater than the sound decibel threshold, a signal is sent to the device generating noise during operation to put the device into a low operating state or temporarily stop working.

[0109] During operation, the noise-generating equipment can be adjusted in multiple gears according to the real-time signal strength and proximity. That is, different working intensities can be set for different distances during operation. Corresponding to different sound decibel levels, the signal strength can be converted into ABCD and other adjacent distances to the equipment. The working intensity of the equipment will be dynamically adjusted at different distances.

[0110] 5. Similarly, when the user returns to the farthest point again, the device will resume normal operation. If the device cannot stop or switch working mode when the user approaches, it will remind the user that it may be disturbed by noise.

[0111] This solution is not only applicable to household appliances, but also to all work scenarios that generate loud noises and may damage the user's hearing. This solution has a wide range of applications, and all AIOT devices can be executed according to this solution, and only the current network-connected state is required, without adding new devices.

[0112] Through the present disclosure, the mobile terminal is interconnected with the device that generates sound during operation, so that when the user carrying the mobile terminal approaches an electrical appliance with a loud sound, the decibel of the work is automatically reduced or no sound is produced. After the user moves away from the device, the device returns to normal operation. This solution has two control methods. One is that the mobile terminal controls the device to make gradual adjustments by detecting the real-time signal strength and sound decibel value of the device, that is, different signal strengths correspond to different sound decibel levels for mode switching. The other is that the device that generates sound during operation gradually adjusts itself by sensing its own operating state and obtaining the real-time signal strength with the mobile terminal. That is, the corresponding working mode is executed at different distance ranges.

[0113] Based on the same concept, an embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a device control apparatus.

[0114] It is understandable that the device control device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes hardware structures and / or software modules corresponding to the execution of each function in order to realize the above functions. In combination with the units and algorithm steps of each example disclosed in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the embodiment of the present disclosure can be implemented in the form of hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed in the form of hardware or computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Those skilled in the art may use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered to exceed the scope of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0115] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a device control apparatus 100 according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5The device includes a determining unit 101, a delay unit 102 and a control unit 103.

[0116] The determining unit 101 is used to determine that the first device that emits sound when working is in a working state.

[0117] The delay unit 102 is used to delay the first device from entering a sound-emitting operation phase in response to the working state being an initial startup state and the signal strength of the communication connection signal between the first device and the second device being greater than a strength threshold.

[0118] The control unit 103 is used to control the first device to emit a sound decibel value matching the real-time signal strength of the communication connection signal between the first device and the second device based on the real-time signal strength of the communication connection signal between the first device and the second device; wherein the sound decibel value corresponding to the first signal strength is smaller than the sound decibel value corresponding to the second signal strength, and the first signal strength is greater than the second signal strength.

[0119] In one implementation, the control unit 103 controls the first device to emit a sound decibel value matching the real-time signal strength based on the real-time signal strength of the communication connection signal between the first device and the second device in the following manner:

[0120] In response to the real-time signal strength of the communication connection signal between the first device and the second device being greater than a strength threshold, and / or the decibel value of the sound emitted by the first device when running being greater than a decibel threshold, the first device is controlled to emit a sound decibel value matching the real-time signal strength.

[0121] In one implementation, the control unit 103 controls the first device to emit a sound decibel value that matches the real-time signal strength in the following manner:
