[0073] In the application, the device discovery process can be implemented through the following algorithms:

[0074] Active scanning algorithm: The active scanning unit periodically sends broadcast packets to inquire whether there are new smart home devices connected to the network. If a device responds to the broadcast packet, the active scanning unit records the relevant information of the device and adds the device to the device list.

[0075] Device broadcast algorithm: After the smart home device is connected to the network, it broadcasts its existence to the network. The device broadcast unit receives the device broadcast data packet, obtains the relevant information of the device, and adds the device to the device list.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the device access module uses a corresponding connection method to connect the device to the cloud platform according to the type and communication protocol of the smart home device. The specific connection methods include the following:

[0082] The corresponding smart home device is connected through the WiFi connection unit, that is, for a smart home device that supports WiFi communication, the WiFi connection unit can connect the smart home device to the cloud platform through the WiFi network.

[0083] In the application, WiFi connection can be achieved through the WiFi connection algorithm. The specific execution process is as follows: For smart home devices that support WiFi communication, the WiFi connection unit first obtains the device's SSID and password and other information. Then, the WiFi connection unit connects to the device through the WiFi network and performs authentication. After the authentication is passed, the WiFi connection unit sends the relevant information of the device to the cloud platform to complete the device connection.

[0084] Connected through a Bluetooth connection unit, that is, for a smart home device that supports Bluetooth communication, the Bluetooth connection unit can connect the smart home device to the cloud platform via a Bluetooth connection.

[0085] In the application, Bluetooth connection can be achieved through the Bluetooth connection algorithm.

[0087] In the application, ZigBee connection can be achieved through the ZigBee connection unit. The specific execution process is as follows: For devices that support ZigBee communication, the ZigBee connection unit first connects to the ZigBee network through the ZigBee gateway. Then, the ZigBee connection unit searches for the target device in the ZigBee network and performs authentication. After the authentication is passed, the device access module sends the relevant information of the device to the cloud platform to complete the device connection.

[0088] Through this solution, the cloud platform can support multiple connection methods to connect smart home devices.

[0089] In yet another embodiment of the present application, the device access module further includes a device authentication submodule;

[0090] The device authentication submodule is used to authenticate the smart home device before connecting to the smart home device, and after the authentication is passed, connect the smart home device to the cloud platform.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, the device access module can authenticate the smart home device when connecting to the smart home device. The authentication method can be a unique identifier such as a device serial number, MAC address, etc., or a user name and password. This can ensure the security of the smart home device.

[0092] In yet another embodiment of the present application, the communication protocol conversion module includes a protocol identification unit and a protocol conversion unit;

[0093] The protocol identification unit is used to identify the communication protocol of the smart home device according to the device information of the smart home device, wherein the device information includes any one of the device model, manufacturer information and the data packet sent by the smart home device;

[0094] The protocol conversion unit is used to convert the identified communication protocol into the target communication protocol.

[0095] In the application, the protocol conversion process can be achieved through the following algorithm:

[0096] Protocol identification algorithm: The protocol identification unit analyzes the data packets sent by the device to obtain the header information, data length, data type and other information of the data packets, and then determines the communication protocol type of the device based on this information.

[0097] Protocol conversion algorithm: The protocol conversion unit calls the corresponding protocol parsing library or middleware to perform protocol conversion according to the communication protocol type of the device. The protocol conversion process includes data packet parsing, data format conversion, command translation, etc.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, first, the communication protocols of different smart home devices are identified by the protocol identification unit. Specifically, the protocol identification can be performed by the model, manufacturer information, etc. of the device, or the protocol type can be determined by analyzing the data packets sent by the smart home device. Then, the communication protocols of different smart home devices are converted into a unified target communication protocol by the protocol conversion unit, so that the cloud platform can uniformly manage and control the smart home devices.

[0099] In practical applications, protocol conversion can be implemented by software or hardware. In software implementation, protocol parsing library, middleware and other technologies can be used for protocol conversion; in hardware implementation, protocol conversion chips and other devices can be used for protocol conversion.

[0100] In yet another embodiment of the present application, the communication protocol conversion module further includes a data format conversion unit;

[0101] The data format conversion unit is used to convert the data formats of different smart home devices into a unified target data format.

[0102] In the application, data format conversion can be achieved through the following algorithms:

[0103] Data format conversion algorithm: The data format conversion unit converts the data into a unified data format according to the data format of the device. The data format conversion process includes data length adjustment, unit conversion, encoding method conversion, etc. In this way, the data formats of different smart home devices can be converted into a unified data format for processing and analysis by the cloud platform.

[0104] In another embodiment of the present application, the collaborative control module is also used to obtain environmental information, generate control instructions based on the environmental information, and determine the target device among multiple smart home devices connected to the cloud platform based on the environmental information, and send the control instructions to the target device to control the target device to adjust the current environment.

[0105] The above-mentioned environmental information refers to parameters corresponding to the current environment, such as temperature, humidity, light, etc.

[0106] In the application, the intelligent control process can be realized through the following algorithms:

[0107] Intelligent control algorithm: The collaborative control module acquires environmental information and equipment status information by collecting sensor data. Then, based on this information, the collaborative control module uses machine learning algorithms to perform data analysis and prediction to achieve intelligent control. For example, when the indoor temperature is too high, the collaborative control module can automatically turn on the air conditioner to cool it down; when the indoor light is too dark, the collaborative control module can automatically turn on the lights for illumination. In practical applications, the intelligent control process can be achieved using technologies such as sensor data collection, data analysis, and machine learning.

[0108] In another embodiment of the present application, the collaborative control module is further used to obtain the execution time corresponding to the target scene mode, and when the current time is consistent with the execution time, execute the step of controlling the collaborative work of multiple smart home devices connected to the cloud platform according to the target scene mode;

[0109] Alternatively, a trigger event corresponding to the target scene mode is obtained, and when the trigger event is detected, a step of controlling a plurality of smart home devices connected to the cloud platform to work collaboratively according to the target scene mode is executed.

[0110] In an embodiment of the present application, the collaborative control module can use a timed triggering method to trigger the collaborative control module to control the collaborative work of multiple smart home devices connected to the cloud platform according to the target scene mode.

[0111] For example, the user pre-sets the "Go Home Mode" to start at 6 o'clock every evening. Then, at 6 o'clock every evening, the corresponding control operations under the "Go Home Mode" are started, for example, controlling the smart lights to turn on the lights, controlling the air conditioner to adjust the temperature, controlling the smart speaker to play music, and so on.

[0112] In addition, the collaborative control module can also use event triggering to trigger the collaborative control module to control the collaborative work of multiple smart home devices connected to the cloud platform according to the target scene mode.

[0113] For example, it is preset that when the user falls asleep, the "sleep mode" is started. Then, when the sensor detects that the user falls asleep, the control operations under the "sleep mode" are started, for example, controlling the smart lights to turn off the lights, controlling the air conditioner to adjust the temperature, controlling the smart speakers to turn off, and so on.

[0114] In this way, the collaborative control module can be intelligently started by timing triggering or event triggering.

[0117] The device management unit is used to manage smart home devices connected to the cloud platform;

[0118] The scene mode setting unit is used to define a plurality of scene modes;

[0119] The device control unit is used to control the smart home devices connected to the cloud platform;

After logging in, the user can view and manage the list of connected smart home devices through the device management unit of the user interface module, and perform operations such as adding, deleting, and modifying smart home devices. In addition, the user can also define different scenes through the scene mode setting unit of the user interface module, set the operations performed by each smart home device in the scene, and control a single smart home device through the device control unit of the user interface module, such as turning on the lights, adjusting the temperature, closing the curtains, etc. Finally, the user can also view the status information of each smart home device through the status viewing unit of the user interface module, such as the brightness of the light, the value of the temperature, the degree of opening and closing of the curtains, etc.
