[0056] Figure 4 This is a structural block diagram of a central control screen display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0057] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0058] With the widespread adoption of smart home and smart office devices, central control screens have become an important interface for controlling various devices. Users can manage all the smart devices in their homes, such as lights, air conditioners, security systems, and entertainment systems, through these screens. However, traditional central control screens often use a fixed layout when displaying multi-button devices, resulting in a cluttered interface. When there are too many devices with similar functions, the overall interface becomes crowded and messy, making it difficult to efficiently execute desired device actions, leading to inconvenient operation and a poor user experience.

[0059] One of the core concepts of this invention is that by displaying a main card page that includes sub-cards corresponding to at least one sub-device belonging to the same functional category, the central control screen interface becomes more concise and intuitive, reducing the difficulty for users to find and operate devices, thereby improving the user experience.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of a central control screen display method according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps:

[0061] Step 101: Obtain and display the main card page. The main card page includes sub-cards corresponding to at least one sub-device belonging to the same functional category. The at least one sub-device is a sub-device controlled by the central control screen.

[0062] Specifically, the main card page is obtained and displayed on the central control screen. The main card page includes sub-cards corresponding to at least one sub-device belonging to the same functional category, and the sub-devices are sub-devices controlled by the central control screen.

[0063] The central control screen plays a crucial role in smart home systems. It's typically a high-tech device integrating a touchscreen and multiple sensors, used to manage and control various smart devices in the home. The central control screen can centrally control various smart devices such as lights, air conditioning, curtains, security systems, and audio-visual equipment. It can preset multiple scene modes, such as "Home Mode," "Away Mode," and "Movie Mode," allowing for one-click switching and automatic adjustment of related device status. Most smart home central control screens use a touchscreen design, offering intuitive and convenient operation. They support multi-touch, facilitating zooming, swiping, and other operations. Users can customize the main screen layout and shortcuts according to their needs. As the core device of the smart home system, the central control screen provides users with a convenient and intelligent home management experience through centralized control, scene modes, and voice control.

[0064] On the central control screen, the cards corresponding to device buttons are a common user interface design element, used for quick access and control of various smart device functions. These cards are usually associated with physical or virtual buttons, and users can activate the corresponding card by clicking the button to perform the operation. Here are some common smart home device buttons and their corresponding card types: Lighting control buttons (corresponding to lighting control cards) display the current lighting status (on / off, brightness, color) and provide lighting adjustment sliders or buttons; Air conditioning control buttons (corresponding to air conditioning control cards) display the current air conditioning status (on / off, temperature, fan speed, mode) and provide temperature and fan speed adjustment sliders or buttons; Curtain control buttons (corresponding to curtain control cards) display the current curtain status (on / off, position) and provide curtain adjustment sliders or buttons; Security system buttons (corresponding to security system cards) display the current security status (armed / disarmed, camera status) and provide arm / disarm buttons; Audio / video device buttons (corresponding to audio / video control cards) display the current playback status (play / pause, volume, playlist) and provide playback control buttons; Environmental monitoring buttons (corresponding to environmental monitoring cards) display the current environmental status (temperature, humidity, air quality, PM2.5, etc.) and provide environmental adjustment suggestions. In smart home systems, the card design corresponding to the device buttons on the central control screen provides users with a convenient and intuitive way to display information and operate the system.

[0065] When the central control screen controls a large number of sub-devices with similar functions, the number of cards used for quick access and control of various smart device functions becomes excessive, resulting in a cluttered and disorganized interface that hinders efficient execution of desired device actions. By displaying a main card page that includes sub-cards corresponding to at least one sub-device belonging to the same functional category, the interface clutter caused by a fixed layout is avoided. This makes the central control screen interface more concise and intuitive, reduces the difficulty for users to find and operate devices, and improves the overall user experience.

[0066] Step 102: Detect an expansion operation on the main card page, and in response to the expansion operation on the main card page, display the sub-cards in the main card page.

[0067] Specifically, the central control screen displays multiple main card pages, which can be displayed side-by-side. The display method of multiple main card pages can be set according to actual needs in practical applications, and this embodiment of the invention does not limit this. Users can click on any main card page to expand it and display all sub-cards, thus achieving the function of expanding the main card page with one click. Of course, the user can expand the main card page by clicking on the main card page or by other methods, and this embodiment of the invention does not limit this. The expansion operation for the main card page is detected. When an expansion operation for the main card page is detected, the sub-cards in the main card page are displayed in response to the expansion operation.

[0068] For example, Figure 2 The diagram illustrates a display layout of a central control screen according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method of displaying sub-cards in the main card page is that after the user clicks on the main card page, they can directly jump to the display of the corresponding sub-cards in the main card page. At this time, the entire page displays the sub-cards in the main card page.

[0069] For example, Figure 3 The diagram illustrates another display layout of the central control screen according to an embodiment of the present invention. The sub-cards in the main card page can be displayed on the right side of the main card page after the user clicks on the main card page. Of course, the specific way of displaying the sub-cards in the main card page can be set according to actual needs in practical applications, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0070] Step 103: Detect a collapse operation on the main card page, and in response to the collapse operation on the main card page, collapse the sub-cards in the main card page.

[0071] Specifically, in response to an expand operation on the main card page, after displaying the sub-cards within the main card page, the user can perform a collapse operation on the main card page to collapse the sub-cards and return to the interface displaying multiple main card pages, thereby achieving a one-click collapse function. For example, in... Figure 2 In this display method, users can collapse the main card page by clicking the top left corner of the page. Figure 3 In this display method, users can collapse the main card page by clicking it again. Of course, the method for collapsing the main card page can be set according to actual needs in practical applications, and this embodiment of the invention does not impose any restrictions on this. The system detects a collapse operation on the main card page, and when such an operation is detected, collapses the sub-cards within the main card page in response to the operation.

[0072] The system detects user actions to collapse the main card page in real time. Users can collapse sub-cards by clicking, swiping, etc. The system dynamically collapses sub-cards in response to user actions, reducing interface complexity and improving user search and operation efficiency. The collapse operation and sub-card collapse have good responsive design, adapting to different screen sizes and resolutions, ensuring a consistent user experience across various devices.

[0073] The central control screen display method of this invention involves acquiring and displaying a main card page, which includes sub-cards corresponding to at least one sub-device belonging to the same functional category. The method detects an expand operation on the main card page, and in response to the expand operation, displays the sub-cards within the main card page. It also detects a collapse operation on the main card page, and in response to the collapse operation, collapses the sub-cards within the main card page. By displaying a main card page including sub-cards corresponding to at least one sub-device belonging to the same functional category, the central control screen interface becomes more concise and intuitive, reducing the difficulty for users to find and operate devices. Furthermore, one-click expand and one-click collapse allow users to easily switch between the main card page and individual sub-card pages, improving the convenience and efficiency of operation, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0074] In this embodiment of the invention, step 101, obtaining the main card page, may include the following sub-steps:

[0075] Sub-step S11: Obtain the function of the at least one sub-device.

[0076] Specifically, at least one sub-device is controlled by the central control screen. When a sub-device is connected to the network, it will have a tag indicating its own function. The function of the sub-device is obtained by retrieving its tag. For example, the tag corresponding to a switch is 1, the tag corresponding to a curtain is 2, and the tag corresponding to a socket is 3. The function of the sub-device can be obtained by retrieving its tag. When a sub-device is connected to the network, the central control screen usually assigns a tag to each sub-device to indicate its own function. These tags are used to identify and classify devices. Common sub-device tags and their functions are as follows: Lighting tags identify lighting devices, such as smart bulbs, light strips, ceiling lights, etc., displaying the lighting status (on / off, brightness, color), and supporting scene mode switching (such as reading mode, party mode); Air conditioning tags identify air conditioning devices, such as smart air conditioners, air purifiers, etc., displaying the air conditioning status (on / off, temperature, fan speed, mode), and supporting timed on / off and energy-saving mode; Curtains Tags identify curtain devices, such as smart curtains and blinds, displaying curtain status (open / closed, position), and supporting timed on / off and scene mode switching (such as movie mode and sleep mode); security tags identify security devices, such as smart cameras, door sensors, and smoke detectors, displaying security status (armed / disarmed, camera status), and supporting real-time monitoring and alarm notifications; audio-visual tags identify audio-visual devices, such as smart speakers, TVs, and projectors, displaying playback status (play / pause, volume, playlist), and supporting multi-device linkage (such as lights, curtains, and speakers).

[0077] It should be noted that the method of obtaining the functions of the sub-device can be set according to actual needs in practical applications, and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0078] Sub-step S12: Classify the at least one sub-device according to its function.

[0079] Specifically, after obtaining the function of at least one sub-device, the function of at least one sub-device is classified according to the function of at least one sub-device. For example, if the label of sub-device A is 1 and the label of sub-device B is 1, then both sub-device A and sub-device B are switches, and sub-device A and sub-device B are classified into the same category, which is switch.

[0080] Sub-step S13: Obtain a main card page based on the sub-cards corresponding to the at least one sub-device of the same category.

[0081] Specifically, after classifying at least one sub-device according to its function, the sub-cards corresponding to the at least one sub-device belonging to the same category are merged into a main card page, which can display the corresponding sub-cards. By classifying device buttons with similar or related functions and merging the cards corresponding to these buttons into a main card page, the interface is simplified and redundant information is reduced.

[0082] For example, assuming a user has multiple smart bulbs and smart sockets in their home, these devices can be automatically identified and categorized as "lighting" and "energy management." Two main card pages will be generated on the central control screen: a lighting main card page displaying sub-cards for all smart bulbs, including control options such as on / off status, brightness, and color, supporting scene mode switching (such as reading mode and party mode), and providing a unified lighting control interface; and an energy management main card page displaying sub-cards for all smart sockets, including control options such as on / off status and energy consumption data, providing energy-saving suggestions and control options, and supporting timed on / off and remote control.

[0083] The cards corresponding to multiple related device buttons are merged into a single main card page, providing a unified interface for users to centrally manage and control related devices. The main card page design is simple and intuitive, allowing users to quickly find the device they need, reducing interface complexity and improving user experience.

[0084] In this embodiment of the invention, displaying sub-cards in the main card page in response to an expansion operation on the main card page includes:

[0085] In response to an expand operation on the main card page, thumbnails of the sub-cards in the main card page are displayed.

[0086] Specifically, on the interface displaying the main card page, when a user clicks on the main card page, in response to the expansion operation of the main card page, thumbnails or icons of all sub-card pages corresponding to the main card page are displayed. This approach allows users to quickly browse and select the desired sub-cards with simple operations, thereby improving operational efficiency and user experience.

[0087] Users can trigger the expand operation by clicking or swiping the expand button or area on the main card page. The operation is simple and intuitive, allowing users to quickly access sub-cards. After the operation is completed, the main card page will display thumbnails of all sub-cards. The thumbnail design is concise and clear, allowing users to quickly identify and select the desired sub-card. Users can directly access the corresponding sub-card by clicking the thumbnail for detailed operations, providing a smooth interactive experience and reducing user operation steps. The thumbnail display interface has a good responsive design, adapting to different screen sizes and resolutions, ensuring a consistent user experience across various devices.

[0088] In this embodiment of the invention, after displaying thumbnails of the sub-cards in the main card page in response to an expansion operation on the main card page, the method further includes:

[0089] Detect an access operation to the thumbnail of the sub-card, and in response to the access operation to the thumbnail of the sub-card, display the sub-card page of the sub-card.

[0090] Specifically, after displaying thumbnails or icons of all sub-cards corresponding to the main card page, users can click on the thumbnails or icons of the sub-cards to quickly enter the sub-card page corresponding to the thumbnail or icon. For example, the category corresponding to the main card page A is switches, and the function of the switch buttons is to turn on and off. The main card page A includes all switch-type sub-devices. When the user clicks on the main card page A, thumbnails of all the switch-type sub-device sub-cards in the main card page A are displayed. Switches are further divided into multi-button switches, such as two-way, three-way, and four-way buttons. When the user clicks on the thumbnail of a switch-type sub-device sub-card, each button of that switch-type sub-device is displayed, which is the sub-card page of that sub-card. At this time, the working state of each button of that switch-type sub-device can be controlled.

[0091] For example, when a user clicks the expand button on the "Lighting" main card page, thumbnails of all smart bulb sub-cards are displayed, including device icons, on / off status, brightness, and other information. Clicking a thumbnail directly takes the user to the corresponding bulb control interface. Similarly, when a user clicks the expand button on the "Energy Management" main card page, thumbnails of all smart socket sub-cards are displayed, including device icons, on / off status, energy consumption data, and other information. Clicking a thumbnail directly takes the user to the corresponding socket control interface.

[0092] In this embodiment of the invention, the method further includes:

[0093] Determine the layout information of the sub-cards in the main card page;

[0094] Adjust the order of the sub-cards in the main card page according to the layout information.

[0095] Specifically, the main card page includes sub-cards corresponding to at least one sub-device belonging to the same functional category. First, the layout information of the sub-cards in the main card page is determined, including the arrangement order and display method of the sub-cards. Then, the arrangement order and display method of the sub-cards in the main card page are adjusted according to the layout information of the sub-cards in the main card page.

[0096] Determining the layout information of sub-cards on the main card page and adjusting their order accordingly ensures a logical arrangement of sub-cards on the main card page, improving user browsing and operation efficiency.

[0097] In this embodiment of the invention, determining the layout information of the sub-cards in the main card page includes:

[0098] Detect operations that adjust the order of sub-cards in the main card page;

[0099] The layout information of the sub-cards in the main card page is determined according to the order adjustment operation.

[0100] Specifically, users can freely adjust the arrangement and display of sub-cards in the main card page according to their personal preferences. After the user expands the main card page and displays the sub-cards, the user can directly drag the sub-cards to change their arrangement or adjust their order by clicking. The system detects any order adjustment operations on the sub-cards in the main card page. When a user drags a sub-card, the system detects the order adjustment operation and then determines the layout information of the sub-cards in the main card page based on the position of the dragged sub-card.

[0101] Users can freely adjust the order of sub-cards by dragging and dropping, and can also adjust the display mode. Multiple display mode options are available, such as card size, color, and transparency. The system detects adjustments to the display mode of sub-cards on the main card page. When a user adjusts the display mode, the system detects these adjustments and determines the layout information of the sub-cards on the main card page based on the resulting changes.

[0102] Users can also select preset layout templates in the settings. Users can choose suitable templates according to their needs, designing multiple layout templates, including different sub-card arrangements and display effects. Layout templates are stored in the system database, and the settings interface provides layout template selection options. Preset layout templates can be used for... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the layout, when the user selects a preset layout template, the layout information of the sub-cards in the main card page is determined according to the preset layout template selected by the user. The preset layout template can also be "simple mode", "frequently used functions priority", "night mode", etc. Of course, the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0103] In this embodiment of the invention, determining the layout information of the sub-cards in the main card page includes:

[0104] Obtain the frequency with which the user uses the sub-card;

[0105] Based on the frequency, determine the layout information of the sub-cards in the main card page.

[0106] Specifically, the frequency with which users use each sub-card can be obtained, and the order of sub-cards on the main card page can be adjusted according to the frequency of use from high to low. For example, the most frequently used cards can be recommended in a prominent position on the main card page, such as at the top. Dynamically adjusting the card layout based on user usage can ensure that frequently used sub-cards are always in an easily accessible position.

[0107] The system can retrieve the last time a sub-card was used and determine whether it has been unused for a preset period based on that time. For sub-cards on sub-devices that have been unused for a preset period, optimization prompts can be provided to the user, such as "You haven't used this function for a while, do you want to move it to an infrequently used area?" or "Do you want to delete this card to simplify the interface?" When providing recommendations and optimization prompts, users can be given the option to confirm, ensuring that users are satisfied with the adjustments to the interface layout. Users can provide feedback on recommendations and optimization prompts to help further optimize the recommendation algorithm.

[0108] When a user turns on the central control screen, the system can analyze the user's usage data to identify frequently used cards and cards that have not been used for a long time. Frequently used cards are recommended to prominent positions on the main card page, while optimization prompts are given for cards that have not been used for a long time. Users can confirm or adjust the system's recommendations and optimization prompts. The card layout is dynamically adjusted based on user feedback and usage. In this way, the system can better adapt to users' usage habits and provide a more personalized and efficient user experience.

[0109] In this embodiment of the invention, determining the layout information of the sub-cards in the main card page includes:

[0110] Retrieve layout information uploaded by other central control devices from the server.

[0111] Specifically, it can record the layout information set by the user, including the card arrangement order, display method, and selected layout template. The layout information set by the user is uploaded to the cloud server to ensure data security and persistence. It also ensures that other central control devices in the home can synchronize the layout information set by the user. When the central control device is replaced due to damage or other reasons, the user can directly retrieve the arrangement order from the cloud to restore the arrangement order combination used before. This ensures that the user can maintain a consistent interface layout and operating experience when switching between different devices.

[0112] When a user logs into the smart home system on a new central control device, the system automatically retrieves the user's layout settings from the cloud and applies the obtained arrangement to the main card page of the current device, ensuring consistency in the user interface layout. When the user replaces the central control device (e.g., due to device damage or upgrade), the new device automatically retrieves the layout information from the cloud after logging into the system and restores the layout information stored in the cloud to the new device, ensuring that the user can seamlessly continue using the previous interface layout. During the synchronization and restoration of layout information, the system provides the user with confirmation options to ensure user satisfaction. Users can provide feedback on the synchronization and restoration process to help further optimize the synchronization mechanism.

[0113] By automatically identifying and categorizing device buttons with similar or related functions, the cards corresponding to these buttons are merged into a single main card page, simplifying the interface and reducing redundant information.
