[0040] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , showing a step flow chart of a network control method for a central control device provided by some embodiments of the present invention. The method can be applied to the central control device. The central control device is the control center of the whole-house smart environment and can be installed at the entrance of the home to control all home appliances in the whole-house smart environment. The central control device can control the smart home devices by communicating with the whole-house smart server. The whole-house smart server is used for short-range control, remote control, scene control, voice control and other settings of all the whole-house smart devices. The whole-house smart server can be set at the local end.

[0042] In some examples, smart home devices may include at least two types. One type is smart home devices controlled through a wired network or a WIFI network. The central control device can control the smart home devices by communicating with a whole-house smart server. The other type is smart home devices controlled through networks such as Bluetooth. The central control device can directly control the smart home devices through networks such as Bluetooth.

[0043] Specifically, the following steps may be included:

[0044] Step 101: Detect the currently available network of the central control device.

[0045] In actual applications, the central control device may be provided with a wired network interface, such as an RJ45 interface, and have a wireless network function, and may be connected to a wireless network, such as a WIFI network. After the central control device is started, the currently available network of the central control device may be detected.

[0046] Step 102, when the currently available network includes a wired network and a wireless network, determine network priority information, where the network priority information is used to indicate the type of network that the central control device preferentially uses.

[0047] Since the network cable connection is stable and not prone to packet loss during actual use, and there is no need to enter the router account and password, the central control can be connected to the router directly by plugging it into the central control. Therefore, when both wired and wireless networks exist at the same time, the central control device gives priority to the wired network. The network priority of the central control device can be set in advance, and the network priority information can be used to indicate that the central control device gives priority to the wired network.

[0048] Step 103: Detect a first network quality parameter of the wired network and a second network quality parameter of the wireless network, and determine a target network from the wired network and the wireless network according to the first network quality parameter, the second network quality parameter and the network priority information.

[0049] In the case where the currently available networks include wired networks and wireless networks, due to the difference in network quality between the wired network and the wireless network, the first network quality parameter of the wired network and the second network quality parameter of the wireless network can be detected, and then the network quality can be guaranteed based on the first network quality parameter, the second network quality parameter and the network priority information, and the network priority configured by the central control device to select an adapted network. In some examples, the network priority information indicates that the network type that the central control device preferentially uses is a wired network, and on the basis of ensuring the network quality, the wired network is preferably selected.

[0050] In some examples, the network quality parameter may be a network transmission rate, which may be calculated by sending data of a specified size to a corresponding network server.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, the quality of the wired network and the wireless network is intelligently judged, the wired network is used when there is no problem with the wired network, and the wireless network is used when there is an abnormality in the wired network, ensuring that the central control can connect to the whole-house smart server under any circumstances.

[0052] In some examples, whether a wired network is available can be determined by detecting whether a network cable is connected to a wired network interface, and whether a wireless network is available can be determined by an existing WIFI account and password.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, a target network is determined from the wired network and the wireless network based on the first network quality parameter, the second network quality parameter and the network priority information, including: when the difference between the first network quality parameter and the second network quality parameter is less than or equal to a preset difference, determining the target network from the wired network and the wireless network based on the network type indicated by the network priority information; when the difference between the first network quality parameter and the second network quality parameter is greater than the preset difference, determining the target network from the wired network and the wireless network based on a comparison between the first network quality parameter and the second network quality parameter.

[0054] In some examples, the network quality parameter may be a network transmission rate, the difference between the first network quality parameter and the second network quality parameter may be a difference in the network transmission rate, and the preset difference may be 30%.

[0055] When the difference between the first network quality parameter and the second network quality parameter is less than or equal to the preset difference, that is, the network qualities of the wired network and the wireless network are not much different, the corresponding network can be used preferentially according to the preset network priority information, such as giving priority to the wired network.

[0056] When the difference between the first network quality parameter and the second network quality parameter is greater than the preset difference, that is, the network quality of the wired network and the wireless network is greatly different, then the network with better quality can be selected as the target network. For example, if the network transmission rate of the wireless network is 30% higher than that of the wired network, then the wireless network is selected as the target network.

[0057] Step 104, communicating with the whole-house smart server through the target network to control smart home devices.

[0058] In actual applications, the central control device can use a target network with better quality to communicate with the whole-house smart server, and then control the smart home devices through the whole-house smart server.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, before communicating with the whole-house smart server through the target network to control smart home devices, the method further includes:

[0060] The central control device is configured with a network to switch from the current network to the target network.

[0061] After selecting the target network, if the current network is not the target network, configure the network for the central control device, such as by sending a Bind packet, and then control the central control device to switch from the current network to the target network. If the current network is the target network, continue to use the current network.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, before configuring the central control device to switch from the current network to the target network, the method further includes:

[0063] A network test is performed on the target network, and after the network test passes, network configuration is performed on the central control device to switch from the current network to the target network.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, it also includes:

[0065] When the number of consecutive failures of the network test is greater than the preset number, the current network is kept in use.

[0066] For example, the preset number of times is 5 times, 10 times, or 20 times.

[0067] After selecting the target network, you can further perform network tests on the target network. For example, after connecting to the router through the target network, you can use the Ping command to test the connectivity of the network. You can also send a test packet to a specified website. If you receive a reply message from the specified website, it means that the network test has passed. You can also use a test tool to test the bandwidth, delay, jitter and other indicators of the target network. If there are no problems with these indicators, it means that the network test has passed.

[0068] After the network test passes, you can switch to the target network for use. After the network test fails, repeat the test. When the network test fails continuously and the number of consecutive failures is greater than the preset number, keep using the current network and do not switch to the target network.

[0069] For example, if the target network is a wired network and five consecutive attempts fail, a prompt will appear: "Wired network abnormality, switch to wireless network". If the router's WIFI account and password are saved, the account and password will be automatically used to connect, and the correctness of the account and password will be verified before using the WIFI network.

[0070] In some examples, if both the wired network and the wireless network cannot be connected, a prompt may be displayed: "Network abnormality, please insert the network cable or enter the correct WIFI account and password."

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, before configuring the central control device to switch from the current network to the target network, the method further includes:

[0072] Detect whether the central control device is in an idle state, and when the central control device is in an idle state, perform network configuration on the central control device to switch from the current network to the target network.

[0073] In actual applications, in order to avoid the impact of network switching on business, before network switching, it is possible to detect whether the central control device is in an idle state. Only when the communication is completed and the central control is idle, the central control device is allowed to configure the network to switch from the current network to the target network.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, it also includes:

[0075] In the case where the target network is a wireless network, if the data volume of the target file to be transmitted is greater than a preset data volume, the target file is transmitted by switching from the wireless network to the wired network.

[0076] In actual applications, since wireless is unstable and will be retransmitted after disconnection, while wired network will not be interrupted, when the data volume of the target file to be transmitted is greater than the preset data volume, that is, when large files need to be transmitted, such as OTA (Over-the-Air) files, LOG (log) files, etc., you can give priority to using wired network for transmission.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present invention, by detecting the currently available network of the central control device, when the currently available network includes a wired network and a wireless network, network priority information is determined, and the network priority information is used to indicate the type of network that the central control device preferentially uses, and a first network quality parameter of the wired network and a second network quality parameter of the wireless network are detected, and based on the first network quality parameter, the second network quality parameter and the network priority information, a target network is determined from the wired network and the wireless network, and communication is performed with the whole-house smart server through the target network to control smart home devices, thereby realizing the selection of a network for the central control device based on network quality and network priority, so that the selection of the network can not only adapt to network changes but also meet the network priority requirements of the central control device, thereby improving the network quality of the central control device.

[0078] Reference Figure 2, showing a step flow chart of another network control method for a central control device provided by some embodiments of the present invention. The method can be applied to the central control device. The central control device is the control center of the whole-house smart environment and can be installed at the entrance of the home to control all home appliances in the whole-house smart environment. The central control device can control the smart home devices by communicating with the whole-house smart server. The whole-house smart server is used for short-range control, remote control, scene control, voice control and other settings of all the whole-house smart devices. The whole-house smart server can be set at the local end.

The central control device can control the smart home devices by communicating with a whole-house smart server. The other type is smart home devices controlled through networks such as Bluetooth. The central control device can directly control the smart home devices through networks such as Bluetooth.

[0080] Specifically, the following steps may be included:

[0081] Step 201: Detect the currently available network of the central control device.

[0082] In actual applications, the central control device may be provided with a wired network interface, such as an RJ45 interface, and have a wireless network function, and may be connected to a wireless network, such as a WIFI network. After the central control device is started, the currently available network of the central control device may be detected.

[0083] Step 202, when the currently available network includes a wired network and a wireless network, determine network priority information, where the network priority information is used to indicate the type of network that the central control device preferentially uses.

[0084] Since the network cable connection is stable and not prone to packet loss during actual use, and there is no need to enter the router account and password, the central control can be connected to the router directly by plugging it into the central control. Therefore, when both wired and wireless networks exist at the same time, the central control device gives priority to the wired network. The network priority of the central control device can be set in advance, and the network priority information can be used to indicate that the central control device gives priority to the wired network.

[0085] Step 203: Detect a first network quality parameter of the wired network and a second network quality parameter of the wireless network, and determine a target network from the wired network and the wireless network according to the first network quality parameter, the second network quality parameter and the network priority information.

[0086] In the case where the currently available networks include wired networks and wireless networks, due to the difference in network quality between the wired network and the wireless network, the first network quality parameter of the wired network and the second network quality parameter of the wireless network can be detected, and then the network quality can be guaranteed based on the first network quality parameter, the second network quality parameter and the network priority information, and the network priority configured by the central control device to select an adapted network. In some examples, the network priority information indicates that the network type that the central control device preferentially uses is a wired network, and on the basis of ensuring the network quality, the wired network is preferably selected.

[0087] In some examples, the network quality parameter may be a network transmission rate, which may be calculated by sending data of a specified size to a corresponding network server.

[0089] In some examples, whether a wired network is available can be determined by detecting whether a network cable is connected to a wired network interface, and whether a wireless network is available can be determined by an existing WIFI account and password.

[0090] Step 204: configure the network for the central control device to switch from the current network to the target network.

[0091] After selecting the target network, if the current network is not the target network, configure the network for the central control device, such as by sending a Bind packet, and then control the central control device to switch from the current network to the target network. If the current network is the target network, continue to use the current network.

[0092] Step 205, communicating with the whole-house smart server through the target network to control smart home devices.

[0093] In actual applications, the central control device can use a target network with better quality to communicate with the whole-house smart server, and then control the smart home devices through the whole-house smart server.

[0094] Reference Figure 3, showing a step flow chart of another network control method for a central control device provided by some embodiments of the present invention. The method can be applied to the central control device. The central control device is the control center of the whole-house smart environment and can be installed at the entrance of the home to control all home appliances in the whole-house smart environment.

The central control device can directly control the smart home devices through networks such as Bluetooth.

[0096] Specifically, the following steps may be included:

[0097] Step 301: Detect the currently available network of the central control device.

[0098] In actual applications, the central control device may be provided with a wired network interface, such as an RJ45 interface, and have a wireless network function, and may be connected to a wireless network, such as a WIFI network. After the central control device is started, the currently available network of the central control device may be detected.

[0099] Step 302, when the currently available network includes a wired network and a wireless network, determine network priority information, where the network priority information is used to indicate the type of network that the central control device preferentially uses.

[0100] Since the network cable connection is stable and not prone to packet loss during actual use, and there is no need to enter the router account and password, the central control can be connected to the router directly by plugging it into the central control. Therefore, when both wired and wireless networks exist at the same time, the central control device gives priority to the wired network. The network priority of the central control device can be set in advance, and the network priority information can be used to indicate that the central control device gives priority to the wired network.

[0101] Step 303: Detect a first network quality parameter of the wired network and a second network quality parameter of the wireless network, and determine a target network from the wired network and the wireless network according to the first network quality parameter, the second network quality parameter and the network priority information.

[0102] In the case where the currently available networks include wired networks and wireless networks, due to the difference in network quality between the wired network and the wireless network, the first network quality parameter of the wired network and the second network quality parameter of the wireless network can be detected, and then the network quality can be guaranteed based on the first network quality parameter, the second network quality parameter and the network priority information, and the network priority configured by the central control device to select an adapted network. In some examples, the network priority information indicates that the network type that the central control device preferentially uses is a wired network, and on the basis of ensuring the network quality, the wired network is preferably selected.

[0105] In some examples, whether a wired network is available can be determined by detecting whether a network cable is connected to a wired network interface, and whether a wireless network is available can be determined by an existing WIFI account and password.

[0106] Step 304: Perform a network test on the target network, and after the network test passes, configure the network for the central control device to switch from the current network to the target network.

[0107] After selecting the target network, you can further perform network tests on the target network. For example, after connecting to the router through the target network, you can use the Ping command to test the connectivity of the network. You can also send a test packet to a specified website. If you receive a reply message from the specified website, it means that the network test has passed. You can also use a test tool to test the bandwidth, delay, jitter and other indicators of the target network. If there are no problems with these indicators, it means that the network test has passed.

When the network test fails continuously and the number of consecutive failures is greater than the preset number, keep using the current network and do not switch to the target network.

[0109] For example, if the target network is a wired network and five consecutive attempts fail, a prompt will appear: "Wired network abnormality, switch to wireless network". If the router's WIFI account and password are saved, the account and password will be automatically used to connect, and the correctness of the account and password will be verified before using the WIFI network.

[0110] In some examples, if both the wired network and the wireless network cannot be connected, a prompt may be displayed: "Network abnormality, please insert the network cable or enter the correct WIFI account and password."

[0111] Step 305, communicating with the whole-house smart server through the target network to control smart home devices.

[0112] In actual applications, the central control device can use a target network with better quality to communicate with the whole-house smart server, and then control the smart home devices through the whole-house smart server.

[0113] Reference Figure 4 , showing a step flow chart of another network control method for a central control device provided by some embodiments of the present invention.

[0115] Specifically, the following steps may be included:

[0116] Step 401: Detect the currently available network of the central control device.

[0121] In the case where the currently available networks include wired networks and wireless networks, due to the difference in network quality between the wired network and the wireless network, the first network quality parameter of the wired network and the second network quality parameter of the wireless network can be detected, and then the network quality can be guaranteed based on the first network quality parameter, the second network quality parameter and the network priority information, and the network priority configured by the central control device to select an adapted network. In some examples, the network priority information indicates that the network type that the central control device preferentially uses is a wired network, and on the basis of ensuring the network quality, the wired network is preferably selected.

[0122] In some examples, the network quality parameter may be a network transmission rate, which may be calculated by sending data of a specified size to a corresponding network server.

[0123] In the embodiment of the present invention, the quality of the wired network and the wireless network is intelligently judged, the wired network is used when there is no problem with the wired network, and the wireless network is used when there is an abnormality in the wired network, ensuring that the central control can connect to the whole-house smart server under any circumstances.

[0124] In some examples, whether a wired network is available can be determined by detecting whether a network cable is connected to a wired network interface, and whether a wireless network is available can be determined by an existing WIFI account and password.

[0125] Step 404 , detecting whether the central control device is in an idle state, and when the central control device is in an idle state, performing network configuration on the central control device to switch from the current network to the target network.

[0126] In actual applications, in order to avoid the impact of network switching on business, before network switching, it is possible to detect whether the central control device is in an idle state. Only when the communication is completed and the central control is idle, the central control device is allowed to configure the network to switch from the current network to the target network.

[0127] Step 405, communicating with the whole-house smart server through the target network to control smart home devices.

[0128] In actual applications, the central control device can use a target network with better quality to communicate with the whole-house smart server, and then control the smart home devices through the whole-house smart server.

[0129] Reference Figure 5 , showing a step flow chart of another network control method for a central control device provided by some embodiments of the present invention. The method can be applied to the central control device. The central control device is the control center of the whole-house smart environment and can be installed at the entrance of the home to control all home appliances in the whole-house smart environment. The central control device can control the smart home devices by communicating with the whole-house smart server. The whole-house smart server is used for short-range control, remote control, scene control, voice control and other settings of all the whole-house smart devices. The whole-house smart server can be set at the local end.

[0130] In some examples, smart home devices may include at least two types. One type is smart home devices controlled through a wired network or a WIFI network. The central control device can control the smart home devices by communicating with a whole-house smart server. The other type is smart home devices controlled through networks such as Bluetooth. The central control device can directly control the smart home devices through networks such as Bluetooth.

[0131] Specifically, the following steps may be included:

[0132] Step 501: Detect the currently available network of the central control device.

[0133] In actual applications, the central control device may be provided with a wired network interface, such as an RJ45 interface, and have a wireless network function, and may be connected to a wireless network, such as a WIFI network. After the central control device is started, the currently available network of the central control device may be detected.

[0134] Step 502, when the currently available network includes a wired network and a wireless network, determine network priority information, where the network priority information is used to indicate the type of network that the central control device preferentially uses.

[0135] Since the network cable connection is stable and not prone to packet loss during actual use, and there is no need to enter the router account and password, the central control can be connected to the router directly by plugging it into the central control. Therefore, when both wired and wireless networks exist at the same time, the central control device gives priority to the wired network. The network priority of the central control device can be set in advance, and the network priority information can be used to indicate that the central control device gives priority to the wired network.

[0136] Step 503: Detect a first network quality parameter of the wired network and a second network quality parameter of the wireless network, and determine a target network from the wired network and the wireless network according to the first network quality parameter, the second network quality parameter and the network priority information.

[0137] In the case where the currently available networks include wired networks and wireless networks, due to the difference in network quality between the wired network and the wireless network, the first network quality parameter of the wired network and the second network quality parameter of the wireless network can be detected, and then the network quality can be guaranteed based on the first network quality parameter, the second network quality parameter and the network priority information, and the network priority configured by the central control device to select an adapted network. In some examples, the network priority information indicates that the network type that the central control device preferentially uses is a wired network, and on the basis of ensuring the network quality, the wired network is preferably selected.

[0138] In some examples, the network quality parameter may be a network transmission rate, which may be calculated by sending data of a specified size to a corresponding network server.

[0139] In the embodiment of the present invention, the quality of the wired network and the wireless network is intelligently judged, the wired network is used when there is no problem with the wired network, and the wireless network is used when there is an abnormality in the wired network, ensuring that the central control can connect to the whole-house smart server under any circumstances.

[0140] In some examples, whether a wired network is available can be determined by detecting whether a network cable is connected to a wired network interface, and whether a wireless network is available can be determined by an existing WIFI account and password.

[0141] Step 504, communicating with the whole-house smart server through the target network to control smart home devices.

[0142] In actual applications, the central control device can use a target network with better quality to communicate with the whole-house smart server, and then control the smart home devices through the whole-house smart server.

[0143] Step 505: When the target network is a wireless network, if the data volume of the target file to be transmitted is greater than a preset data volume, the target file is transmitted by switching from the wireless network to the wired network.

[0144] In actual applications, since wireless is unstable and will be retransmitted after disconnection, while wired network will not be interrupted, when the data volume of the target file to be transmitted is greater than the preset data volume, that is, when large files need to be transmitted, such as OTA (Over-the-Air) files, LOG (log) files, etc., you can give priority to using wired network for transmission.
