Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more.

[0047] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] With the development of computer technology, smart home is more and more widely used in people's life. In the smart home scene, various smart home devices are connected together through Internet of Things technology and control devices to form a smart home system. Based on the smart home system, users can efficiently and conveniently control each smart home device in the home through the control device, and have a good user experience.

[0049] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the smart home system provided in an embodiment of this application. The system includes a control device and multiple smart home devices (also referred to as electronic devices). The control device is wirelessly connected to each smart home device, and the smart home devices may or may not be connected to each other. Furthermore, the wireless connection method between different devices can be Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc., and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0050] Smart home devices are objects managed and controlled by control devices, capable of executing corresponding control operations based on control commands from the control devices. Examples of smart home devices include televisions, speakers, headphones, air purifiers, refrigerators, air conditioners, robot vacuums, lights, cameras, routers, power strips, table lamps, humidifiers, sockets, smart door locks, water purifiers, treadmills, etc. Depending on the device type, the control operations performed by smart home devices according to control commands vary. For example, the control operations performed by a light might be turning the light on / off or adjusting its brightness; the control operations performed by a speaker might be playing / pausing music; and the control operations performed by an air conditioner might be turning it on / off or adjusting the temperature. This application does not limit the specific types of smart home devices.

This includes managing the addition and removal of smart home devices; managing the classification of smart home devices, i.e., the house to which it belongs, and the space (such as the master bedroom, living room, dining room) within the house; and controlling the working state of the smart home device, such as controlling the TV to turn on / off, controlling the air conditioner to turn on / off, controlling the sound box to play songs, controlling the sweeping robot to work, controlling the smart door lock to unlock, etc.

[0086] As can be seen, in order to facilitate users to find and control smart home devices, the device management application classifies and manages smart home devices based on space, i.e., sets smart home devices located in the same space in the same device set. Based on this, the user opens the device set of the space to which the target device belongs, and can find and control the target device. For example, as shown in Figure 4 The device management application sets the smart home devices located in the master bedroom in the device set 1, sets the smart home devices located in the children's room in the device set 2, and sets the smart home devices located in the bathroom in the device set 4, etc. When the user wants to turn on the air conditioner in the children's room, the target air conditioner can be found by opening the device set 2 of the space to which it belongs, and it can be controlled.

[0087] However, as the number of spaces in the house increases, and the number of smart home devices in each space increases, the number of device sets set in the control device and the number of devices in each device set also increase, which results in that these device sets and smart home devices in the device sets cannot be displayed in the same display interface. Based on this, when the user controls the target device, the user usually needs to go through tedious finding operations such as sliding the display interface to find the target device, and the user experience is not good. Therefore, how to intelligently manage and control smart home devices is a technical problem to be solved.

[0088] To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides a device management method, which can determine a space in a house where a control device is located based on different characteristic ultrasonic signals sent by different spatial positioning devices, and intelligently manage and control each electronic device in the space, thereby improving user experience.

[0089] Figure 5 is a schematic flowchart of a device management method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to a control device (such as a home management device, a terminal device, etc.), and specifically includes the following steps S501-S505.

[0090] S501, the control device detects a first event.

[0091] In this embodiment, the first event is a trigger condition for triggering the control device to determine the space in the house where it is currently located, which can be a master bedroom, a child's room, a kitchen, or a bathroom, etc. The specific type of the first event is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0092] In some embodiments, the first event is a movement of the position of the control device. It can be understood that after the position of the control device moves, the space in the house where it is located may change, for example, the control device moves from the master bedroom to the kitchen. Therefore, the control device needs to re-detect the space where it is currently located. Of course, the space where the control device is located may not change, for example, the control device only moves in the living room. Therefore, the space where the control device is located after moving is determined according to the measurement result.

[0093] Optionally, the control device can use an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to detect the motion state of the control device, and if the control device detects that the motion state of the control device changes from a motion state to a stationary state, it is determined that the position of the control device has moved. Alternatively, the control device can use the IMU to measure the movement distance of the control device, and when the movement distance is greater than a distance threshold, it is determined that the position of the control device has moved. Exemplarily, the distance threshold can be 0.5 meters, 1 meter, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment. It can be understood that by setting the distance threshold, the control device can avoid detecting the trigger condition and performing device positioning frequently, thereby reducing the power consumption of the control device and other electronic devices participating in positioning (such as the positioning devices in the following).

[0094] In other embodiments, the first event is that a device management application in the control device is successfully started. It can be understood that the successful start of the device management application indicates that the user needs to manage and control the smart home devices. Therefore, it can be used as a trigger condition for positioning the control device.

[0095] In some other embodiments, the first event is a user operation on other preset controls in the device management application, such as a selection operation on the "space" control, the "device" control, and the like. Figure 4

[0096] S502, in response to the first event, controlling the device to send indication information for instructing multiple positioning devices to emit ultrasonic signals.

[0097] In this embodiment, the positioning device is used to assist the control device to determine the space where it is currently located, which is capable of emitting ultrasonic signals with specific characteristics and is generally not mobile. In the smart home system of this embodiment, at least one positioning device is pre-configured in each space, and the ultrasonic signals emitted by the positioning devices located in different spaces have different characteristics. In other words, there is a preset mapping relationship between the space where the positioning device is located and the characteristics of the ultrasonic signals.

[0098] For example, the characteristics of the ultrasonic signals include at least one of intensity, frequency, and acoustic print encoding information. The intensity refers to the intensity of the ultrasonic signals received by the control device. The acoustic print encoding information refers to the information carried by the acoustic print of the ultrasonic wave, which can also be referred to as acoustic print identification (ID).

[0099] In some embodiments, the positioning device in this embodiment can be various sound boxes in a whole-house music system, or various lamps in a whole-house lighting system, or various air conditioners in a whole-house temperature control system, or a dedicated positioning device, which is not limited in this embodiment. Figure 6 For example, as shown in the house structure, the smart home system of the house is provided with a whole-house music system, and the audio playback devices of the whole-house music system include sound boxes 1-8 located in the master bedroom, the children's room, the old people's room, the bathroom, the kitchen, the dining room, the living room, and the balcony. Based on this, the user can pre-configure the sound boxes 1-8 as the positioning devices and pre-configure the characteristics (such as frequency) of the ultrasonic signals thereof.

[0100] After detecting the first event, the control device sends ultrasonic emission instructions to the multiple positioning devices located in various spaces to determine the space where the control device is currently located. For example, as shown in Figure 7A When the control device is directly connected to the various positioning devices, the control device directly sends the ultrasonic emission instructions to the various positioning devices. When the control device is indirectly connected to the various positioning devices through the hub device, as shown in Figure 7B The control device first sends a positioning request to the hub device. In response to the positioning request, the hub device sends the ultrasonic emission instructions to the various positioning devices. The ultrasonic emission instructions are used to instruct the positioning devices to emit ultrasonic signals. ​

[0101] In some implementations, after detecting the first event, the control device needs to further detect whether the control device is currently in a stationary state. If the control device is in a stationary state, the control device sends an ultrasonic emission instruction to the positioning device to perform device positioning. This is because when the control device is moving, there is a large uncertainty in the target space to be controlled by the user. When the control device is stationary, there is a large probability that the space to be controlled by the control device is the current space. Therefore, the method provided by the embodiments of the present application can improve the probability of positioning to the target space, and further improve the user experience of subsequent device management by the user.

[0102] S503, each positioning device emits an ultrasonic signal with different characteristics, wherein the characteristics of the ultrasonic signal and the space where the positioning device is located have a preset mapping relationship.

[0103] It should be noted that the characteristics of the ultrasonic signal emitted by each positioning device are preset, and the characteristics of the ultrasonic signal emitted by the positioning devices in different spaces are different.

[0104] In some embodiments, the characteristics of the ultrasonic signal include voiceprint encoding information and intensity, wherein the voiceprint encoding information and the space where the positioning device is located have a preset mapping relationship.

[0105] In some other embodiments, the characteristics of the ultrasonic signal include frequency and intensity, wherein the frequency and the space where the positioning device is located have a preset mapping relationship. For example, as shown in the user's current house structure, and the relationship between the space in the house, the positioning device and the ultrasonic signal frequency is shown in Table 1. In Table 1, f1-f8 are all different. For example, f1-f8 can be in the range of 30KHz-50KHz (KHz), and the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit the frequency of the ultrasonic signal. Figure 6

[0106] Table 1 Mapping relationship table

[0107] The space to which the device belongs The positioning device The frequency of the ultrasonic signal Master bedroom Sound box 1 f1 Children's room Sound box 2 f2 Old people's room Sound box 3 f3 Bathroom Sound box 4 f4 Kitchen Sound box 5 f5 Dining room Sound box 6 f6 Living room Sound box 7 f7 Balcony Sound box 8 f8

[0108] ​It should be noted that, in the embodiment, when the sound box of the whole-house music system is used as the positioning device to emit the ultrasonic signal, the existing playing device can be fully utilized, and the ultrasonic source emitting device does not need to be newly added, which helps to save the cost of the device. In addition, the sound box of the whole-house music system is usually installed and laid out according to the optimization of the user's music experience, that is, the sound emitted by the sound box has a good propagation effect in the space where the sound box is located. Therefore, when the sound box of the whole-house music system is used as the positioning device to emit the ultrasonic signal, the ultrasonic signal also has a good propagation effect, and the position of the sound box does not need to be specially set for emitting the ultrasonic signal.

[0109] S504, the control device determines that the current space where the control device is located is the first space according to the characteristics of the received ultrasonic signal.

[0110] In some embodiments, the control device determines the first space where the control device is currently located according to the intensity and frequency of the received ultrasonic signal. Specifically, after each positioning device emits an ultrasonic signal of a specific frequency, because each positioning device is located in a different space, and the door, window and wall and other obstacles have a strong blocking effect on the ultrasonic signal, the intensity of the ultrasonic signal received by the control device is usually different, and in the received ultrasonic signal, the received intensity of the ultrasonic signal emitted by the source and the control device in the same space is the largest. Therefore, after receiving each ultrasonic signal, the control device can first use the preset ultrasonic recognition algorithm to identify the signal intensity of each received ultrasonic signal, and determine the frequency of the ultrasonic signal with the highest received intensity. Then, according to the mapping relationship between the frequency and the space, the first space where the active device is currently located is determined.

[0111] Taking the mapping relationship between the space where the positioning device is located and the frequency of the ultrasonic signal shown in Table 1 as an example, when the frequency of the ultrasonic signal with the highest received intensity is f3 in the ultrasonic signal received by the control device, according to the mapping relationship shown in Table 1, the control device can determine that the first space where the control device is currently located is the old people's room.

[0112] S505, the control device displays the related information of the first space on the device management interface, or instructs the positioning device or other device of the first space to perform a corresponding operation, or sends the related information for indicating that the control device is currently located in the first space to the management device.

[0113] In the technical scheme provided in the present application, based on the different characteristics of the ultrasonic signals emitted by the positioning devices in different spaces, the control device can perform space perception according to the received ultrasonic signals, so as to determine that the space where the control device is located is the first space. Moreover, based on the fact that the control device has determined that it is in the first space, the control device can perform a series of operations related to the first space to improve the user experience.

[0114] The following is a detailed explanation of the various control operations performed by the control device after determining that it is currently located in the first space.

[0115] (a) The control device displays relevant information about the first space on the display interface.

[0116] In this embodiment, the display interface can be a spatial information interface, device information interface, or audio projection management interface of a device management application (such as a smart living application), or it can be a desktop for controlling devices. Correspondingly, the relevant information of the first space can be spatial management information, device management information, etc., within the house, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.

[0117] In this embodiment, the control device can highlight or prioritize the display of relevant information in the first space. The display methods include, but are not limited to, the following methods 1 and 2.

[0118] Method 1: The control device displays the relevant information of the first space above the relevant information of other spaces, that is, the control device displays the relevant information of the first space on top.

[0119] Method 2: Control the device to display in bold, and / or highlight, and / or zoom in, and / or display relevant information of the first space with a prominent background color.

[0120] However, it's understandable that in most cases, the target device controlled by the user is located in their current space. For example, when the user is in the master bedroom, they might control the air conditioner to turn on / off or adjust the temperature. Therefore, in this embodiment, the control device prominently displays its location within the first space, helping the user quickly find and control the target device, thus improving the user experience.

[0121] The following examples illustrate how control devices can highlight relevant information about the first space, using different types of interfaces as examples.

[0122] (1) Spatial Information Interface

[0123] The spatial information interface displays the equipment sets in different spaces within a house. For example, the current space of the house... Figure 6 As shown, taking the master bedroom, children's room, elderly person's room, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, living room, and balcony as an example, the control equipment is set up as equipment sets 1 to 8 for these spaces. Therefore, the space information interface of the house can display the equipment sets for each space, i.e., equipment sets 1 to 8.

[0124] However, since the size of the space information interface is usually limited, it can not display all the device sets of the spaces at the same time, which is inconvenient for the user to find the target space. Therefore, the embodiments of the present application can display the device sets of the spaces in the following manner, so that the user can quickly find the target space in the space information interface.

[0125] In some embodiments, the control device displays the device set of the first space on top in the space information interface after detecting that it is currently located in the first space. For example, refer to Figure 8A As shown, when the control device detects that the first space it is currently located in is the old people's room, it displays the device set corresponding to the old people's room on top in the space information interface. It can be understood that since the user usually searches for content in a top-down manner, the on-top display manner helps the user quickly find the target space.

[0126] In other embodiments, the control device can also display the device set of the first space in bold, and / or, in enlarged size, and / or, in highlight, and / or, in a different background color from the device sets of the other spaces. For example, refer to Figure 8B As shown, the control device displays the device set corresponding to the old people's room in bold and in a darker background color in the space information interface. It can be understood that when the device set of the first space is displayed in bold, enlarged size, highlight, and / or in a prominent background color, there is a large visual difference between the device set of the first space and the device sets of the other spaces, and the user can quickly find the device set of the first space.

[0127] Optionally, for the other spaces, the control device can first determine the selection frequency of the user for each space, and display the device sets of the spaces in turn from top to bottom in the order of the frequency from high to low. Of course, the device sets of the remaining spaces can also be displayed in other manners, for example, the device sets of the spaces can be displayed in turn from top to bottom in the order of proximity, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0128] (2) Device information interface

[0129] The device information interface is used to display the device information of each electronic device in all the spaces of the house. The device information can be a device icon, a device name, a space to which the device belongs, a device working state, a device control, etc.

[0130] However, the size of the device information interface is usually limited, and the screen of the control device can not display the device information of all the devices at the same time, which is inconvenient for the user to find the target device. Therefore, the embodiments of the present application can display the device information in the following manner, so that the user can quickly find the target device in the device information interface.

[0131] In some embodiments, the control device displays the device information of the first space at the top of the device information interface after detecting that it is currently located in the first space. For example, refer to Figure 9 As shown, when the control device detects that the first space it is currently located in is the old man room, and the old man room includes the air purifier 3, the sound box 3, the bedside lamp 3, and the air conditioner 3, the control device displays the device information of each device in the old man room at the top of the information display area, so that the user can quickly find the electronic device in the space he is currently located in. It can be understood that since the user usually searches for content in a top-down manner, the above-mentioned top display manner helps the user to find the target device.

[0132] In other embodiments, after detecting that it is currently located in the first space, the control device can also display the device information of each electronic device in the first space in bold, and / or enlarged, and / or highlighted, and / or in a different background color from other devices, so that the user can quickly find the electronic device in the space he is currently located in.

[0133] Optionally, for the electronic devices of other spaces, the control device can display the device information of each device in turn from high to low in order of use frequency, from top to bottom. Of course, the electronic devices of the remaining spaces can also be displayed in other manners, which are not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

[0134] (3) Voice casting management interface

[0135] The voice casting management interface is used to control the audio of the local device (i.e. the control device) to be played by other audio playback devices in the smart home system, and to perform playback management, such as controlling the play / pause of the audio, controlling the previous / next song, etc. Taking a smart home system with a whole-house music system as an example, the audio playback devices include multiple audio playback devices in each space, such as the master bedroom, the children's room, the kitchen, the living room, etc. Through the voice casting management interface, the control device can select one or more audio playback devices to play the audio of the local device according to user operations, which has a good user control experience.

[0136] However, since the size of the voice casting management interface is usually limited, it may not be able to display the audio playback device information of all spaces at the same time, which is not convenient for the user to find the target audio playback device. Therefore, the embodiments of the present application can display the audio playback devices of each space in the following manner, so that the user can quickly find the target audio playback device in the voice casting management interface.

[0137] In some embodiments, the control device displays the device information of the first space at the top of the device information interface. For example, refer to Figure 10As shown, when the control device detects that the first space where it is currently located is the old people's room, the control device displays the device information of the old people's room at the top end of the information display area, so that the user can quickly find the audio playing device of the space where it is currently located.

[0138] In some other embodiments, the control device can also display the device information of the first space in bold, and / or, in enlarged size, and / or, in highlight, and / or, in different background color from other spaces, so that the user can quickly find the audio playing device of the space where it is currently located.

[0139] Optionally, for the audio playing devices of other spaces, the control device can display them in order from top to bottom according to the frequency of control on each device, from high to low. Of course, the electronic devices of the remaining spaces can also be displayed in other manners, for example, the audio playing devices of each space can be displayed in order from top to bottom according to the distance from the control device, from near to far, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0140] (4) Desktop

[0141] The control device can set one or more control cards on the desktop according to the user operation. The control card is a shortcut control entry of the smart home system, which can be a device control card or a space control card.

[0142] The device control card usually includes device information of the target device. Taking the device control card of the lighting lamp as an example, referring to Figure 11A As shown, the device information in the card includes device name, device icon, space to which the device belongs, device control, device state, etc. Among them, the device control is used to control the running condition of the electronic device, such as controlling the lighting lamp to turn off / on, adjusting the brightness of the lighting lamp, etc. The device state is used to indicate the current running condition of the device, such as the current start state, or the current off state, or the current brightness information, etc. It can be understood that based on the device control card on the desktop, the user can control the running condition of the electronic device in the card without opening the device management application of the smart home system, which has good user experience.

[0143] The space control card usually includes the device set of the target space and the environment information in the space, etc. Taking the space control card of the master bedroom as an example, referring to Figure 11B As shown, the card includes the device set of the master bedroom, which includes 12 electronic devices. In addition, it includes the air quality information "good air" and the temperature information "20℃" in the master bedroom. Through the space control card, the user can quickly find the electronic devices belonging to the space without opening the device management application, and then control them.

[0144] It should be noted that the device control card and the space control card are usually preset by the user according to the use habit, or recommended to be displayed by the control device according to the control frequency of the user on the electronic device or the space, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0145] In order to further improve the control experience of the user, in the embodiments, the control device can associate the display content in the control card with the space in which the control device is located.

[0146] Taking the device control card as an example, after detecting that the control device is currently located in the first space, the control device can display the device information of one or more electronic devices in the first space in the device control card on the desktop. Optionally, the control device can display the device information of one or more electronic devices with a higher use frequency in the device control card.

[0147] Taking the space control card as an example, after detecting that the control device is currently located in the first space, the control device displays the related information of the first space, such as the device set and the environmental information, etc. in the device control card on the desktop.

[0148] It can be understood that through the method provided in the embodiments of the present application, when the control device moves in each space, the control device can switch the display of the control card on the desktop in real time according to the space in which the control device is currently located. For example, when the control device is provided with the space control card on the desktop, when the control device moves from the living room to the master bedroom, the device set displayed by the space control card is switched from the device set in the living room to the device set in the master bedroom.

[0149] When the control device is a home management device, in some embodiments, after detecting that the control device is currently located in the first space, the control device can display the related information of the first space, and does not display the related information of other spaces, so as to help the user quickly find the target device.

[0150] For example, the related information of the first space includes the control mode, the sub-set, the device control, and the environmental information of the device in the living room, etc. Figure 12 As shown, the control mode includes “entering the living room”, “leaving the living room”, “viewing mode”, “relaxing mode”, “concentrating mode”, etc. The sub-set of the electronic device includes “lighting”, “music”, “cool and warm fresh air”, “sunshade”, “home appliance”, “furniture”, etc. The device control includes “lighting full on”, “lighting full off”, “temperature control on”, “purification”, “curtain full open”, “curtain full close”, etc. The environmental information includes temperature information, air instruction information, etc.

[0151] In summary, in this embodiment, the content displayed by the control device is associated with the current location of the control device. The control device can highlight the device collection and device information of the first space in the device management interface, which helps users quickly find the target space and target device, resulting in a better user experience.

[0152] When a whole-house music system is installed in a smart home system, the control device can also project and play audio to various spaces within the system via a device management application. However, since the occupants and living scenarios in different spaces are usually different, the types of audio suitable for each space will vary. For example, suitable audio for a child's room includes nursery rhymes and stories, suitable audio for an elderly person's room includes opera and classic old songs, while suitable music for a living room might include pop music and light music. The control device can display corresponding recommendations based on its current location within the space.

[0153] To improve the user's control experience when projecting sound into different spaces, the control device can highlight recommended information suitable for the first space on the projection selection interface based on the current space of the control device during the projection control process.

[0154] For example, see Figure 13A As shown, when the control device is located in a child's room, it displays the current space information "Children's Room" on the audio selection interface and prominently displays recommended content suitable for children to listen to, such as "Collection of Nursery Rhymes," "Children's Stories," and "Science and Knowledge." Other types of music, such as "Popular Music," are displayed below the aforementioned recommendations.

[0155] For example, see Figure 13B As shown, when the control device is located in the elderly person's room, the device displays the current space information "Elderly Person's Room" on the sound selection interface, and prominently displays recommended content suitable for the elderly to listen to, such as "Classic Opera," "Classic Old Songs," and "Soothing Music." Other types of music, such as "Children's Song Collection," are displayed below the aforementioned recommended content.

[0156] Of course, the control device may also display recommended information suitable for the first space by bolding, and / or enlarging, and / or highlighting, and / or using a background color different from other spaces; this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0157] (ii) The control device instructs the positioning device or other equipment in the first space to perform corresponding operations.

[0158] For example, the control device instructs the multimedia equipment in the first space to play audio and video information, controls the lights in the first space to turn on, and controls the air conditioner in the first space to turn on, etc.

[0159] In some embodiments, based on the control device instructing the multimedia device in the first space to play audio / video information, the control device can automatically switch the audio / video stream during the process of playing the audio / video. That is, after the control device determines that it is currently in the first space, the control device uses the multimedia device in the first space to play the audio / video; and when the control device moves from the first space to the second space, the control device switches to using the audio playing device in the second space to play the audio / video. It can be understood that, for a user carrying the control device, the intuitive experience is that the audio / video playing device intelligently changes with the position of the user, which has very good user experience.

[0160] (III) The control device sends the relevant information indicating that the space where the control device is currently located is the first space to the management device.

[0161] Since the control device (such as a mobile phone, a smart watch, etc.) often moves with the user, it can be used as a space perception device to determine the space where the user is located. After the control device determines that it is located in the first space, the control device sends the relevant information indicating that the space where the control device is currently located is the first space to the management device, so that the management device manages other electronic devices located in the first space. For example, the management device controls the air conditioner in the first space to be turned on, or the lighting lamp in the first space to be turned on, etc., which has good user experience. In this embodiment, the management device can be a hub device, such as the home management device mentioned in this application.

[0162] Based on the same concept, as an implementation of the above method, an embodiment of the present application provides a device management apparatus. The apparatus embodiment corresponds to the foregoing method embodiment, and for the sake of reading, the details in the foregoing method embodiment will not be described one by one, but it should be clear that the apparatus in this embodiment can correspondingly implement all the contents in the foregoing method embodiment.

[0163] Figure 14 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a device management apparatus provided by an embodiment of the present application. The apparatus includes a sending module 1401, a receiving module 1402, a determining module 1403, and a control module 1404. The functions of the modules are specifically as follows.

[0164] The sending module 1401 is configured to, in response to a first event, send indication information for instructing a plurality of positioning devices to emit ultrasonic signals, wherein the ultrasonic signals emitted by the positioning devices located in different spaces have different characteristics.

[0165] The receiving module 1402 is configured to receive at least one ultrasonic signal, wherein the ultrasonic signal is from at least one of the plurality of positioning devices.

[0166] The determining module 1403 is configured to determine, according to the characteristic of the at least one ultrasonic wave signal, that the space where the control device is currently located is the first space.

[0167] The control module 1404 is configured to, according to the determination that the space where the control device is currently located is the first space, display, on the interface of the control device, the relevant information of the first space, or instruct the positioning device or other device in the first space to perform a corresponding operation, or send, to the management device, the relevant information for indicating that the space where the control device is currently located is the first space.

[0168] Optionally, the first event includes that the position of the control device moves, or that a device management application in the control device is successfully started, the device management application being configured to manage a plurality of positioning devices and / or other devices.

[0169] Optionally, the sending module 1401 is specifically configured to, in response to the first event, send, to the plurality of positioning devices, indication information for instructing the plurality of positioning devices to emit ultrasonic wave signals, or in response to the first event, send, to the plurality of positioning devices by the management device, the indication information for instructing the plurality of positioning devices to emit ultrasonic wave signals.

[0170] Optionally, the characteristic of the ultrasonic wave signal includes at least one of intensity, frequency and voiceprint encoding information. The voiceprint encoding information can carry unique identification information of the space where the positioning device is located, such as a space name, a space ID, etc.

[0171] Optionally, the characteristic of the ultrasonic wave signal includes intensity and frequency. Based on this, the determining module 140 is specifically configured to determine that the frequency of the ultrasonic wave signal with the largest intensity in the received at least one ultrasonic wave signal is a first frequency, and determine, according to the first frequency and a preset correspondence between frequency and space, that the space where the control device is currently located is the first space.
