[0059] 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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] Currently, in smart home systems, a central control device connects various smart home devices, enabling centralized control and display of their operational status and scene settings. Adding a new central control device to an existing system requires manually connecting it to each device and then configuring them within the central control device. Therefore, when a smart home system contains many devices and scenes, adding a new central control device is cumbersome and negatively impacts the user experience.

[0061] This invention establishes communication between the target central control device and the home host. The mobile terminal obtains the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located and sends it to the target central control device through the home host, so that the target central control device can directly configure itself according to the obtained configuration information, thereby simplifying the user's operation.

[0062] This invention provides a method for configuring a central control device. The invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0063] Reference Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of a configuration method for a central control device according to some embodiments of the present invention. This method is applied to a mobile terminal and may specifically include the following steps:

[0064] Step 101: Obtain distribution network information;

[0065] It is worth noting that in actual application scenarios, the entire smart home system includes mobile terminals, smart home devices, central control devices, and home host.

[0066] In this invention, the mobile terminal can be an electronic device such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, and the mobile terminal has an application or mini-program installed for configuring the central control device.

[0067] Smart home devices can include home appliances such as air conditioners, table lamps, humidifiers, robot vacuums, washing machines, and electric curtains.

[0068] Central control equipment can be terminal display devices such as central control screens, tablets, and laptops.

[0069] A home control unit can be a central control box, a smart home gateway, or an embedded device.

[0070] It is worth noting that this invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific types of mobile terminals, smart home devices, central control devices, and home host systems.

[0071] Reference Figure 2 The diagram illustrates an application scenario of a configuration method for a central control device provided by some embodiments of the present invention.

[0072] In this embodiment, the mobile terminal is a smartphone with a configuration applet for the central control device installed; the central control device is a central control screen.

[0073] In this embodiment, the network configuration information includes the account and password for the home's wireless network. In other embodiments, the network configuration information may include any other information used for communication, and this invention is not limited thereto.

[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, the home contains multiple rooms, such as a living room, master bedroom, guest bedroom, and bathroom. Each room has one or more central control screens, which are connected to the home host via a wireless network, enabling the home host to communicate with all central control screens.

[0075] Simultaneously, the home hub establishes communication with the smart home devices, enabling it to acquire and store information on all smart home devices and scene information. This includes device information such as device type, name, and status. Scene information includes scene names and actions; for example, a scene named "Leaving Home" might include actions like turning off the air conditioner and lamps. In other words, the home hub can access configuration information for all rooms.

[0076] Users obtain home network configuration information through a mini-program on their mobile phones and send it to the central control screen, thereby establishing a communication connection between the central control screen and the home host. This allows the home host to send room configuration information to the central control screen within the room, which in turn can bind to smart home devices within the room and control and display their operating status.

[0077] In this embodiment, the mobile phone stores the account and password of the wireless network. The applet configuring the central control device obtains the account and password of the wireless network by sending a request to the mobile phone to obtain network configuration information.

[0078] Step 102: Send network distribution information to the target central control device so that the target central control device can establish communication with the home host according to the network distribution information;

[0079] In some embodiments, this step further includes establishing communication with the target central control device.

[0080] Specifically, the target central control device releases a hotspot; the mobile terminal finds the hotspot released by the target central control device by searching for hotspots that conform to the naming convention and connects to it; after a successful connection, the mobile terminal sends network distribution information to the target central control device.

[0081] As an example, a naming convention conforming to mobile terminal search can be: GR-SCC_ID corresponding to the central control category_ID corresponding to the central control model_last four digits of the device's Wi-Fi MAC address_network configuration method code. In other embodiments, the naming convention can be based on other rules, and this invention does not limit it.

[0082] The hotspot name of the target central control device includes the category ID and model ID of the target central control device, which is used by the mobile terminal to confirm that the hotspot was released by the target central control device.

[0083] As an example, when a mobile terminal and a target central control device pair via Bluetooth, the mobile terminal first sends a bind message to the target central control device using a public key encryption packet. Upon receiving this message, the target central control device assembles its own device information public key encryption packet according to the protocol requirements and replies to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal then checks whether the device information public key encryption packet returned by the target central control device conforms to the protocol. If it does, the mobile terminal uses the central control device's private key to encrypt the network pairing information and replies to the target central control device. The target central control device then decrypts the encrypted information using its own central control private key to obtain the network pairing information, which is the wireless network account and password.

[0084] In other embodiments, the mobile terminal and the target central control device may also be connected to the network in other ways, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0085] Step 103: After the target central control device establishes communication with the home host, the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located is sent to the target central control device through the home host;

[0086] The configuration information includes equipment information and scene information for the room where the target central control device is located.

[0087] The mobile terminal sends the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the target central control device through the home host, enabling the target central control device to be configured directly based on the acquired configuration information, thus realizing the rapid configuration of new central control devices.

[0088] In some embodiments, the step further includes, if the target central control device fails to establish communication with the home host, the mobile terminal receives a network configuration failure notification and the reason for the network configuration failure sent by the target central control device, wherein the reason for the network configuration failure may be an incorrect wireless network password, a power outage of the home host, etc.

[0089] The mobile terminal obtains and displays the reason for the network configuration failure and related troubleshooting steps based on the reason for the network configuration failure.

[0090] In the configuration method for a central control device provided in this embodiment of the invention, the user obtains and sends network configuration information via a mobile terminal, enabling communication between the target central control device and the home host based on the network configuration information. Furthermore, the mobile terminal can obtain the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located, and then send it to the target central control device via the home host, allowing the target central control device to be configured directly based on the configuration information. The configuration information includes device information and scene information for the room where the target central control device is located. The target central control device can directly bind to devices in the room based on the device information and directly associate with existing scenes in the room based on the scene information. This achieves rapid configuration of new central control devices, simplifies user operations, and improves the user experience in actual scenarios involving the addition of new central control devices.

[0091] In some embodiments, step 103 may include the following sub-steps:

[0092] Sub-step S11: If there are no other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located, then obtain the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located.

[0093] The mobile terminal stores information about the central control devices in each room. After selecting the room containing the target central control device on the mobile terminal, the terminal can determine whether the condition that no other central control devices exist in the room is met. If the condition that no other central control devices exist in the room is met, the mobile terminal directly obtains the configuration information of the room containing the target central control device.

[0094] In some embodiments, the configuration information includes information such as the room ID and room name of the room where the target central control device is located. The home host obtains detailed configuration information for the room based on the room ID and room name.

[0095] Sub-step S12: Send the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the home host, so that the home host can send the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the target central control device.

[0096] In some embodiments, provided that there are no other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located, the mobile terminal directly sends configuration information to the home host. The home host then uses the received configuration information to obtain the latest detailed configuration information for the room and sends this detailed configuration information to the target central control device, thereby ensuring that the configuration information sent to the target central control device is complete and up-to-date.

[0097] In some embodiments, step 103 may include the following sub-steps:

[0098] Sub-step S21: If there is another central control device in the room where the target central control device is located, output a reminder message. The reminder message is used to remind the user to confirm that the central control device needs to be copied or replaced.

[0099] Specifically, when adding a central control device to a room, there may be no other central control devices in the room, or there may be existing central control devices. When there are no other central control devices in the room, the user's need is simply to add a new central control device. However, when there are existing central control devices in the room, the user's need may be to replace the existing central control devices or to copy the existing central control devices.

[0100] If other central control devices already exist in the room where the target central control device is located, the mobile terminal outputs a reminder message, prompting the user to confirm whether to copy or replace the central control device, providing the user with multiple options. By considering possible scenarios in actual application scenarios for adding a central control device, different operating procedures are developed for each scenario to meet different needs. This embodiment of the invention executes different specific operations according to the user's selected requirements, fully taking user needs into account.

[0101] Sub-step S22: After the user confirms that the central control device needs to be copied, a copy command is sent to the home host so that the home host can obtain the configuration information of other central control devices according to the copy command and send the configuration information of other central control devices to the target central control device.

[0102] In practical application scenarios, due to various practical needs, such as the room area being too large and the inconvenience of using only one central control device, there is a need for multiple central control devices to control a room, that is, to replicate the central control device.

[0103] It is worth noting that copying here refers to resending all room configuration information from the existing central control device to the newly added target central control device. In other words, the room configuration information in the existing central control device and the newly added target central control device is the same.

[0104] As an example, in scenario 1, central control device A only turns on the second relay, and central control device B copies central control device A, that is, central control device B is set to turn on only the second relay when it receives the instruction to execute scenario 1; in scenario 2, central control device A turns off all relays, and central control device B copies central control device A, that is, central control device B is set to turn off all relays when it receives the instruction to execute scenario 2.

[0105] Sub-step S23: After the user confirms that the central control device needs to be replaced, a replacement command is sent to the home host so that the home host can obtain the configuration information of other central control devices according to the replacement command and send the configuration information of other central control devices to the target central control device, as well as send an unbinding command to other central control devices.

[0106] If a user needs to replace an existing central control unit (CCU) due to insufficient configuration, they can obtain the configuration information of the other CCU by sending a replacement command and then sending an unbinding command to the other CCU, thus achieving the CCU replacement function quickly and easily.

[0107] Reference Figure 3 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of another configuration method for a central control device provided by some embodiments of the present invention, which is applied to a home host and may specifically include the following steps:

[0108] Step 201: Establish communication with the target central control device;

[0109] Specifically, the target central control device establishes User Datagram Protocol (UDP) communication with the home host. After obtaining the network configuration information, the target central control device sends a UDP binding packet to the home host device, which contains information related to the central control device. Upon receiving the packet, the home host replies to the target central control device with an ubindOK packet, which contains information related to the home network configuration. Upon receiving the ubindOK packet, the target central control device establishes UDP communication with the home host.

[0110] The target central control device establishes UDP communication with the home host to obtain the home host's IP address, thereby establishing Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) communication. TCP communication is more reliable than UDP communication, and establishing TCP communication between the target central control device and the home host ensures the accuracy of synchronizing daily data in subsequent processes.

[0111] In other embodiments, the target central control device and the home host can establish communication using other protocols, which are not limited by this invention.

[0112] Step 202: After establishing communication with the target central control device, obtain the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located;

[0113] Specifically, after the home host successfully establishes communication with the target central control device, the target central control device will send a network configuration success notification to the mobile terminal. Upon receiving the network configuration success notification, the mobile terminal will send the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the home host.

[0114] In some embodiments, step 202 further includes: the home host obtains the room ID and room name of the room where the target central control device is located based on the received configuration information, and then obtains the detailed configuration information of the room based on the room ID and room name. The detailed configuration information includes the room name of the room where the target central control device is located, the list of devices in the room and their status, the list of scenes and their actions, and other relevant information such as device priority.

[0115] Step 203: Send the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the target central control device;

[0116] The configuration information includes equipment information and scene information for the room where the target central control device is located.

[0117] The home host sends the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the target central control device, enabling the target central control device to be configured directly based on the obtained configuration information, thus realizing the rapid configuration of adding a central control device.

[0118] In the configuration method for a central control device provided in this embodiment of the invention, a home host establishes communication with the target central control device, enabling the home host to send configuration information to the target central control device. The target central control device can then directly configure itself based on the acquired configuration information. This configuration information includes device information and scene information for the room where the target central control device is located. The target central control device directly binds to devices in the room based on the device information and directly associates with existing scenes in the room based on the scene information. This achieves the function of quickly configuring new central control devices, reducing user operation steps and thus improving user experience.

[0119] In some embodiments, step 202 may include the following sub-steps:

[0120] Sub-step S31: Receive configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located, sent by the mobile terminal;

[0121] When there are no other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located, the home host only receives the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located from the mobile terminal.

[0122] Sub-step S41: Receive the copy instruction sent by the mobile terminal;

[0123] Sub-step S42: Based on the copy instruction, obtain the configuration information of other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located;

[0124] When a user selects to copy an existing central control device, the home host receives the copy instruction sent by the mobile terminal and, based on the copy instruction, obtains the configuration information of other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located.

[0125] As an example, if central control device A prioritizes the bedside lamp, bedroom air conditioner, bedroom ceiling light, and socket, and the configuration information of central control device A includes the above priority settings, then according to the configuration information of central control device A, central control device B will also be configured to prioritize the bedside lamp, bedroom air conditioner, bedroom ceiling light, and socket.

[0126] In other embodiments, the central control device can also be configured in other ways according to the configuration information, such as adding scenes, modifying device names, etc., and the present invention does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0127] Sub-step S51: Receive the replacement instruction sent by the mobile terminal;

[0128] Sub-step S52: According to the replacement instruction, obtain the configuration information of other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located;

[0129] When a user chooses to replace an existing central control device, the home host receives the replacement command sent by the mobile terminal and, based on the replacement command, obtains the configuration information of other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located.

[0130] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0131] Based on the replacement instruction, send unbinding instructions to other central control devices;

[0132] Specifically, after receiving the unbinding command, other central control devices delete the room information and configuration details. This operation ensures user privacy and security while also facilitating the unbinding of the central control device and its subsequent binding with other rooms.

[0133] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0134] Verify the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located;

[0135] Specifically, after the home host obtains the configuration information sent by the mobile terminal, it will obtain the latest configuration information for the corresponding room and verify the configuration information sent by the mobile terminal. If the configuration information sent by the mobile terminal is consistent with the latest configuration information, the verification passes.

[0136] In some embodiments, step 203 includes:

[0137] After the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located is verified, the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located is sent to the target central control device.

[0138] The verification process ensures that the configuration information sent to the target central control device is correct, reducing the possibility of configuration errors.

[0139] This invention also provides a configuration system for a central control device, the system including a mobile terminal, a home host, and a target central control device.

[0140] In this invention, a mobile terminal is used to acquire network distribution information; send the network distribution information to the target central control device so that the target central control device can establish communication with the home host according to the network distribution information; after the target central control device establishes communication with the home host, the home host sends the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the target central control device.

[0141] In this invention, a home host is used to establish communication with a target central control device; after establishing communication with the target central control device, it obtains the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located; and sends the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the target central control device.

[0142] In this invention, the target central control device is used to establish communication with the home host, obtain the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located, and perform configuration based on the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located.

[0143] The configuration information includes equipment information and scene information for the room where the target central control device is located;

[0144] In some embodiments, the mobile terminal is configured to, if there are no other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located, obtain the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located; and send the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the home host, so that the home host can send the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the target central control device. The home host is configured to receive the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located sent by the mobile terminal.

[0145] In some embodiments, the mobile terminal is used to output a reminder message if there is already another central control device in the room where the target central control device is located. The reminder message is used to remind the user to confirm that the central control device needs to be copied or replaced.

[0146] In some embodiments, the mobile terminal is used to send a copy command to the home host after the user confirms the need to copy the central control device. This causes the home host to obtain the configuration information of other central control devices and send that configuration information to the target central control device. The home host is used to receive the copy command sent by the mobile terminal and, based on the copy command, obtain the configuration information of other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located.

[0147] In some embodiments, the mobile terminal is used to send a replacement command to the home host after the user confirms the need to replace the central control device. This causes the home host to obtain the configuration information of other central control devices and send that configuration information to the target central control device, as well as send an unbinding command to the other central control devices. The home host is used to receive the replacement command sent by the mobile terminal and, based on the replacement command, obtain the configuration information of other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located.

[0148] In some embodiments, the home host is also used to send unbinding instructions to other central control devices according to the replacement instructions.

[0149] In some embodiments, the home host is used to verify the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located.

[0150] In some embodiments, the home host is used to send the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the target central control device after the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located has been verified.

[0151] The configuration system for central control devices provided in this invention acquires and sends network configuration information to the target central control device via a mobile terminal, enabling communication between the target central control device and the home host based on the network configuration information. Simultaneously, the mobile terminal acquires configuration information for the room where the target central control device is located and sends it to the target central control device via the home host, allowing the target central control device to be configured directly based on this information. The configuration information includes device information and scene information for the room where the target central control device is located. The target central control device can directly bind to devices in the room based on the device information and directly associate with existing scenes in the room based on the scene information. This achieves rapid configuration of new central control devices, simplifying user operations and improving user experience in real-world scenarios involving the addition of new central control devices.

[0152] Furthermore, this embodiment of the invention takes into account the possible scenarios that may arise when adding a central control device in actual application scenarios, and formulates different operating procedures for each situation to meet different needs. When other central control devices exist in the room where the target central control device is located, users are provided with two options: copying the central control device and replacing the central control device, fully considering user needs and further improving the user experience.

[0153] To better understand this invention, please refer to... Figure 4 To explain, Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating the steps of another configuration method for a central control device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, it may include the following steps:

[0154] 1) The target central control equipment releases a hotspot;

[0155] 2) Users access the network configuration page of the application for configuring the central control device using a mobile terminal; after accessing the network configuration page, the application automatically searches for hotspots that conform to the naming convention and connects to them;

[0156] 3) After the mobile terminal successfully connects with the target central control device, the mobile terminal sends the home wireless network account and password to the target central control device;

[0157] This step also includes, after the mobile terminal successfully connects to the target central control device, selecting the room where the target central control device is located, which is also the room that the target central control device needs to be bound to. Specifically, the mobile terminal displays a selection page for rooms that the target central control device can be bound to, where the user makes the selection and confirmation.

[0158] The mobile device can automatically select the room the target control device needs to be bound to based on its location when selecting a room. For example, if the mobile device is located in the bedroom when entering the page to select the room where the target control device is located, the bedroom will be the default room for the target control device to be bound. However, this default selection is not fixed, and users can modify it.

[0159] 4) The target central control device connects to the home router using the obtained wireless network account and password; after connecting to the home wireless network, the target central control device attempts to establish communication with the home host.

[0160] 5) After the target central control device successfully establishes communication with the home host, the target central control device sends a network configuration success notification to the mobile terminal;

[0161] 6) After receiving the network configuration success notification, the mobile terminal sends the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the home host.

[0162] This step includes the mobile terminal determining whether there are other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located, based on the central control information of the room where the target central control device is located stored in it;

[0163] If there are no other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located, the mobile terminal directly sends the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the home host.

[0164] If there are other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located, the mobile terminal will output a reminder message to the user to confirm whether the central control device needs to be copied or replaced.

[0165] After the user confirms the need to copy the central control device, the mobile terminal sends a copy command to the home host. The home host then obtains the configuration information of the other central control device according to the copy command and sends the configuration information of the other central control device to the target central control device.

[0166] After the user confirms that the central control device needs to be replaced, the mobile terminal sends a replacement command to the home host. Based on the replacement command, the home host obtains the configuration information of other central control devices and sends the configuration information of other central control devices to the target central control device, as well as sending an unbinding command to other central control devices.

[0167] 7) The home host verifies the received configuration information, and sends detailed configuration information to the target central control device after successful verification;

[0168] This step includes the home host receiving the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located from the mobile terminal, obtaining the latest detailed configuration information from the device in the room where the target central control device is located; the home host verifying the configuration information sent by the mobile terminal based on the latest detailed configuration information, and finally generating detailed configuration information to be sent to the target central control device;

[0169] This step includes the home host receiving the copy command sent by the mobile terminal, obtaining the configuration information of other central control devices, and sending the configuration information of other central control devices to the target central control device;

[0170] This step includes the home host receiving the replacement command sent by the mobile terminal, obtaining the configuration information of other central control devices; sending the configuration information of other central control devices to the target central control device; and sending unbinding commands to other central control devices.

[0171] 8) The target central control equipment is configured according to the configuration information;

[0172] Specifically, the configuration information includes device list information, device status information, scene list information, and scene action information. Based on this information, the target central control device adds various devices and scenes, and displays the device list, device status, scene list, and scene actions.

[0173] 9) Daily data communication between the home host and the target central control device.

[0174] Once the target central control device is configured, it can be used daily. During daily use, users may use the target central control device to change the devices and scenes in the room. For example, a user may change the name of a device or modify the scene actions on the central control device. Therefore, the target central control device needs to generate the modified configuration information and send it to the home host after the user makes changes.

[0175] During daily use, the home host will also send various control commands to the target central control device. For example, when the home host needs to replace the target central control device, it will send configuration information reporting commands and unbinding commands to the target central control device so that the home host can complete the replacement operation.

[0176] Reference Figure 5 The diagram illustrates a structural diagram of a configuration device for a central control device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. This device is applied to a mobile terminal and may specifically include the following modules:

[0177] Distribution network information acquisition module 301 is used to acquire distribution network information;

[0178] The distribution network information sending module 302 is used to send distribution network information to the target central control device so that the target central control device can establish communication with the home host according to the distribution network information.

[0179] The first configuration information sending module 303 is used to send the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the target central control device through the home host after the target central control device establishes communication with the home host;

[0180] The configuration information includes equipment information and scene information for the room where the target central control device is located.

[0181] In some embodiments, the first configuration information sending module 303 includes:

[0182] The first configuration information acquisition submodule is used to acquire the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located if there are no other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located.

[0183] The mobile terminal stores relevant information about the central control devices in each room. After selecting the room containing the target central control device on the mobile terminal, the system can determine whether the condition that no other central control devices exist in the room is met based on the above information. If the condition that no other central control devices exist in the room contains the target central control device, the first configuration information acquisition submodule directly acquires the configuration information of the room containing the target central control device.

[0184] The first configuration information sending submodule sends the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the home host, so that the home host can send the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located to the target central control device.

[0185] In some embodiments, provided that there are no other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located, the first configuration information sending submodule sends configuration information to the home host. Based on the received configuration information, the home host obtains the latest detailed configuration information for the room and then sends the detailed configuration information to the target central control device, thereby ensuring that the configuration information sent to the target central control device is complete and up-to-date.

[0186] In some embodiments, the first configuration information sending module 303 includes:

[0187] The reminder message output submodule is used to output a reminder message if there are other central control devices in the room where the target central control device is located.

[0188] The reminder message is used to remind the user to confirm whether the central control device needs to be copied or replaced;

[0189] If other central control devices already exist in the room where the target central control device is located, the reminder information output submodule outputs a reminder message to remind the user to confirm whether the central control device needs to be copied or replaced, providing the user with multiple options.

[0190] By considering the potential scenarios that may arise when adding central control equipment in real-world applications, and developing different operating procedures for each scenario to meet varying needs, this embodiment of the invention executes different specific operations based on the user's selected requirements, fully taking user needs into account.

[0191] The copy instruction sending submodule is used to send a copy instruction to the home host after the user confirms that the central control device needs to be copied, so that the home host can obtain the configuration information of other central control devices according to the copy instruction and send the configuration information of other central control devices to the target central control device.

[0192] In practical application scenarios, due to various practical needs, such as the room area being too large and the inconvenience of using only one central control device, there is a need for multiple central control devices to control a room, that is, to replicate the central control device.

[0193] The replacement instruction sending submodule is used to send a replacement instruction to the home host after the user confirms that the central control device needs to be replaced. This allows the home host to obtain the configuration information of other central control devices and send the configuration information of other central control devices to the target central control device, as well as send unbinding instructions to other central control devices.

[0194] If a user needs to replace an existing central control unit (CCU) due to insufficient configuration, they can obtain the configuration information of the other CCU by sending a replacement command and then sending an unbinding command to the other CCU, thus achieving the CCU replacement function quickly and easily.

[0195] The configuration device for a central control device provided in this embodiment of the invention acquires and sends network configuration information via a mobile terminal, enabling communication between the target central control device and the home host based on the network configuration information. Furthermore, the mobile terminal acquires the configuration information of the room where the target central control device is located and sends it to the target central control device via the home host, allowing the target central control device to be configured directly based on the configuration information. The configuration information includes device information and scene information for the room where the target central control device is located. The target central control device can directly bind to devices in the room based on the device information and directly associate with existing scenes in the room based on the scene information. This enables rapid configuration of new central control devices, simplifying user operations and improving user experience in actual scenarios involving the addition of new central control devices.

[0221] In the configuration device for a central control device provided in this embodiment of the invention, a home host establishes communication with a target central control device, enabling the home host to send configuration information to the target central control device. The target central control device can then directly configure itself based on the acquired configuration information. This configuration information includes device information and scene information for the room where the target central control device is located. The target central control device directly binds to devices in the room based on the device information and directly associates with existing scenes in the room based on the scene information.
