[0056] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0057] With the rapid development of smart home technology, central control devices have gradually become the core devices for home automation control. Users can control home devices through voice, touch or preset scenes to achieve a convenient smart life experience. However, the existing central control device operation methods have certain limitations. Due to the limitation of screen size, small-screen central control devices are prone to accidental touches during input operations, which seriously affects the user experience.

[0058] One of the core concepts of an embodiment of the present invention is to provide a central control device operation method based on custom graphic elements. By obtaining the mapping relationship between the preset objects controlled by the central control device and the user's custom graphic element set, the user is allowed to flexibly define the operation mode, thereby improving the personalized experience; secondly, in response to the user's swiping operation on the screen, the image recognition technology is used to identify the target graphic elements corresponding to the swiping operation, and the operation efficiency is significantly improved by simplifying the user input method; and according to the target graphic elements and the mapping relationship, the target preset object selected by the user is determined, and the corresponding operation is performed. The user operates by swiping custom graphic elements, which avoids the problem of accidental touch caused by small buttons or complex layouts in traditional central control devices, while improving the accuracy of the operation and user experience.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 , shows a flowchart of a method for operating a central control device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, and the method may specifically include the following steps:

[0060] Step 101, obtaining a mapping relationship between a preset object controlled by the central control device and a set of custom graphic elements; the preset object includes at least one of a home appliance controlled by the central control device and a scene action of the central control device;

[0061] A central control device is a system used to centrally control and manage various smart devices in a home or office environment. It usually includes a main controller (such as a smart speaker, smart panel or smartphone application) to connect and coordinate multiple smart home devices (such as lights, air conditioners, security systems, curtains, etc.). Through a unified interface and operation method, users can easily control and manage all connected devices, thereby realizing an intelligent and automated living or working environment.

[0062] In the method of the embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the mapping relationship between the preset object controlled by the central control device and the set of custom graphic elements refers to establishing and storing the association between the user-defined graphic elements and the home appliances or scene actions controlled by the central control device in the operating system or application of the central control device. This mapping relationship allows the user to quickly select and control the corresponding home appliances or trigger specific scene actions by drawing specific graphic elements.

[0063] In one example, the mapping relationship can be established by the user through the configuration interface of the central control device by associating each preset object with a custom graphic element. The mapping relationship is stored in the system of the central control device for quick identification and call in subsequent operations.

[0064] In the method of the embodiment of the present invention, the preset object may include at least one of the home appliances controlled by the central control device and the scene action of the central control device, wherein the home appliances controlled by the central control device may be lights, air conditioners, televisions, curtains, security systems, etc., and the user may directly control these appliances through the central control device. The scene action of the central control device may be "away mode" i.e. turning off all appliances, "movie viewing mode" i.e. dimming the lights, turning on the television, etc., and the user may trigger these preset scenes with one click through the central control device.

[0065] Step 102, in response to a swiping operation performed by a user on the screen of the central control device, identifying a target graphic element corresponding to the swiping operation;

[0066] The central control device screen is an interface used to display information and receive user input on the central control device, usually a touch screen or display panel. It is the main interface for users to interact with the central control device, used to display device status, control options, and receive user operation instructions.

[0067] In the method of the embodiment of the present invention, distinguishing between the user's swiping operation and the swiping operation of turning pages on the screen of the central control device relies on an intelligent recognition mechanism based on the user's touch start position: when the user starts to touch the screen of the central control device, the central control device captures and records the touch start position through the coordinate system. The central control device checks whether the touch start position is within the four edges of the central control device screen, that is, the center area of ​​the central control device screen. If the touch start position is not within the preset area at the edge of the screen of the central control device, the central control device determines this operation as a swiping search operation. Once identified as a swiping search operation, the central control device will identify letters or numbers based on the user's swiping trajectory, and search for matching device names in the device database;

[0068] Similar to the swipe search operation, the central control device first captures and records the starting position of the touch. The central control device checks whether the starting position of the touch is close to the four edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of the central control device screen. If the starting position of the touch is within the preset area of ​​the edge of the central control device screen (for example, within 10% of the width of the edge of the central control device screen), the central control device determines this operation as a swipe screen page turning operation. Once identified as a page turning operation, the central control device will perform the corresponding page switching action, such as turning forward or backward in the device list or menu.

[0069] In one example, a user draws a custom graphic on the screen of a central control device using a finger or a stylus. The central control device uses an image recognition algorithm to analyze the shape features of the writing trajectory and matches it with a preset set of custom graphic elements, thereby accurately identifying the target graphic elements drawn by the user.

[0070] In one example, the central control device can use built-in image recognition technology to capture and analyze the graphics drawn by the user on the screen of the central control device in real time and convert them into corresponding graphic elements. This step simplifies the operation process and improves the interaction efficiency and experience between the user and the device through an intuitive and personalized graphic input method.

[0071] Step 103: Determine the target preset object selected by the user according to the mapping relationship between the target graphic element and the preset object and the custom graphic element set.

[0072] In the method of the embodiment of the present invention, the graphic element is a symbol, pattern or hand-drawn graphic drawn by the user on the screen of the central control device to represent a specific device or scene action. In some embodiments, the graphic element can be defined by the initials of the preset object name controlled by the central control device or the length of the name abbreviation, and a flag is set and saved in the database.

[0073] In other embodiments, users can define unique graphic elements for each preset object according to personal preferences or habits. These graphic elements are used to establish a mapping relationship with the preset objects (such as home appliances or scene actions) controlled by the central control device. Through the graphic elements, users can quickly select and control the target object through simple swiping operations.

[0074] In one example, the central control device can identify the preset object (such as home appliances or scene actions) that the user intends to control by comparing the target graphic element drawn by the user with the pre-established mapping relationship, and perform the corresponding operation. The central control device first obtains the graphic element drawn by the user on the screen, and then searches for the preset object that matches the graphic element according to the preset mapping relationship. If the match is successful, the central control device determines the preset object as the target preset object selected by the user and performs the corresponding control operation.

[0075] In some embodiments, the embodiments of the present invention allow users to flexibly define operating methods and enhance personalized experience by obtaining the mapping relationship between preset objects controlled by the central control device and the user-defined graphic element set; secondly, in response to the user's swiping operation on the screen of the central control device, image recognition technology is used to identify the target graphic elements corresponding to the swiping operation, and the operating efficiency is significantly improved by simplifying the user input method; and based on the target graphic elements and the mapping relationship, the target preset object selected by the user is determined, and the corresponding operation is performed. The user operates by swiping customized graphic elements, which avoids the problem of accidental touch caused by small buttons or complex layouts in traditional central control devices, while improving the accuracy of operation and user experience.

[0076] Reference Figure 2 , shows a flowchart of another control method of a central control device of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps:

[0077] Step 201, obtaining a mapping relationship between a preset object controlled by the central control device and a set of custom graphic elements;

[0078] In one example, obtaining the mapping relationship between the preset objects controlled by the central control device and the set of custom graphic elements can establish and store the association between the user-defined graphic elements and the devices or scene actions controlled by the central control device in the system of the central control device. This mapping relationship allows the user to quickly select and control the corresponding home devices or trigger specific scene actions by drawing specific graphic elements. The set of custom graphic elements can include system preset default graphic elements and user-defined graphic elements.

[0079] Reference Figure 3 In the embodiment of the present invention, the mapping relationship between the preset object controlled by the central control device and the custom graphic element set is obtained in the following manner:

[0080] Step 301, determining a preset object for which the user needs to configure a quick search function;

[0081] In one example, through the user interface or configuration wizard, the central control device can guide the user to select a preset object for which a quick search function needs to be configured. The user can select one or more home devices controlled by the central control device or a scene action of the central control device according to their needs.

[0082] In one example, the central control device can record the preset objects selected by the user and mark them as objects that need to be configured with the quick search function. For each selected preset object, the user can configure a quick search operation for it through the central control device. When the user subsequently uses the central control device, he only needs to execute the previously configured quick search operation, and the central control device can quickly identify and display the corresponding preset object.

[0083] Step 302, in response to a swiping operation performed by a user on the screen of the central control device, identifying a target graphic element corresponding to the swiping operation;

[0084] In an embodiment of the present invention, a user draws graphic elements on the screen of a central control device by using a finger, a stylus or other input tool. These graphic elements may be simple symbols, patterns or hand-drawn graphics. The drawing operation may be the drawing of any shape, such as a circle, a triangle, a straight line, a curve, etc., depending on the graphic elements defined by the user for the preset object.

[0085] Image recognition technology is a technology that analyzes and understands image content through computer algorithms. In an embodiment of the present invention, image recognition technology is used to capture and analyze graphic elements drawn by users on the screen of the central control device in real time, and convert them into corresponding graphic data. The central control device can use built-in image recognition technology to capture and analyze graphics drawn by users on the screen of the central control device in real time, and convert them into corresponding graphic elements.

[0086] In one example, through image recognition technology, the central control device can accurately identify the graphics drawn by the user and match it with the preset graphic elements. If the recognition is successful, the central control device will determine the graphic element as the target graphic element and prepare to perform the next operation.

[0087] Step 303, taking the at least one identified target graphic element as a custom graphic element set;

[0088] The central control device stores the graphic elements drawn by the user on the screen of the central control device, which are identified by the image recognition technology, as part of the custom graphic element set.

[0089] The custom graphic element set includes at least one graphic element. In an embodiment of the present invention, the custom graphic element set is a collection of all user-defined graphic elements, which is used for matching and identification during the operation of the central control device.

[0090] Step 304, establishing a mapping relationship between the preset object and the custom graphic element set;

[0091] In an embodiment of the present invention, the mapping relationship of the custom graphic element set can be established by the user through the configuration interface of the central control device, by associating each preset object with one or more graphic elements to form a mapping relationship. This mapping relationship can be one preset object corresponding to one graphic element, or one preset object corresponding to multiple graphic elements. In some embodiments, the mapping relationship depends on the design of the user interface and the requirements of the user experience. These mapping relationships are stored in the system of the central control device for rapid identification and call in subsequent operations.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the custom graphic element set includes only one target graphic element, which is a preset graphic element, a reminder message is output, and the reminder message is used to remind the user to modify the custom graphic element set.

[0093] When the central control device detects that the user-defined graphic element set contains only one graphic element, and the graphic element is the default graphic element preset by the system, the central control device will automatically output a reminder message to prompt the user to modify or expand the customized graphic element set. This step can remind users to modify the customized graphic element set, encourage users to configure according to their personal habits and needs, help users discover and solve potential problems in the configuration, and improve the overall user experience.

[0094] In one example, the central control device can output reminder information to the user through screen display, voice prompt or other means. The reminder information is intended to guide the user to enter the configuration interface to modify or expand the custom graphic element set. The user can add more unique graphic elements to different preset objects, such as home appliances or scene actions according to personal preferences.

[0095] In another embodiment, the default graphic element preset by the system can also be defined by the first letter of the name of the preset object controlled by the central control device or the length of the name abbreviation, and the flag is set and saved in the database. When the user names the home device in the central control system, the flag can be set according to the first letter of each word in the device name, and these flags are saved in the database for quick retrieval and identification of the device.

[0096] Step 202, in response to a swiping operation performed by a user on the screen of the central control device, identifying a target graphic element corresponding to the swiping operation;

[0097] The central control device can capture and analyze every touch and movement of the user in real time through touch screen technology and graphic recognition algorithms, thereby identifying the specific graphic element that the user is pointing to. This process involves precise tracking of user gestures and matching them with a preset set of graphic elements to ensure that the system can accurately understand the user's intentions and respond quickly.

[0098] Step 203, in the custom graphic element set, taking a custom graphic element set containing the target graphic element and / or containing a graphic element similar to the target graphic element as a target custom graphic element set;

[0099] In one example, the central control device can first identify the graphic element that the user's swiping operation directly points to, which is the "target graphic element". In addition to the direct target graphic element, the central control device will also identify other graphic elements that are similar to the target graphic element in shape, color, size or function. These similar graphic elements help provide users with more operation options, especially when the user's operation is not precise enough.

[0100] By merging the target graphic element and all similar graphic element sets, a "target custom graphic element set" is formed. This set is the main reference for the system to respond to user operations. By analyzing the elements in the target custom graphic element set, the system can more accurately infer the user's intentions, thereby providing more precise feedback and operation results. The use of the target custom graphic element set enables the central control device to provide a more flexible interaction method. Even if the user does not accurately point to a specific graphic element, the central control device can provide corresponding operation options based on similar elements, thereby optimizing the user experience.

[0101] Step 204: Determine the target preset object selected by the user according to the target custom graphic element set and the mapping relationship between the preset object and the custom graphic element set.

[0102] In some embodiments, step 304 may include the following sub-steps:

[0103] Sub-step S11, when the number of the target custom graphic element sets includes multiple, determining multiple candidate preset objects corresponding to the multiple target custom graphic element sets according to the mapping relationship between the preset objects and the custom graphic element sets;

[0104] In an embodiment of the present invention, when a user performs a swiping operation on the screen of a central control device, and the target custom graphic element set contains multiple elements, the central control device needs to further analyze these elements to determine the preset object that the user may want to control. First, by identifying all target custom graphic elements involved in the user's swiping operation, including directly corresponding graphic elements and other graphic elements that are similar or related thereto, for each target custom graphic element, the corresponding preset object can be retrieved based on the previously established mapping relationship between the preset object and the custom graphic element set. The preset objects corresponding to each target custom graphic element are collected to form a list of candidate preset objects.

[0105] In some embodiments, the central control device may also sort the candidate preset objects in the list of candidate preset objects according to the user's operating habits, historical data, or preset priority rules to determine the most likely user intention.

[0106] In one example, the presence of the flag bit can support the fuzzy matching function. Even if the user only remembers part of the device name or the first letter, the system can still identify possible device options and provide them to the user for selection. Through this flag bit setting method based on the first letter and name length, the central control system can more effectively manage and retrieve home devices, providing users with fast and accurate device control and search functions.

[0107] In one example, when a user performs a swiping operation on the touch screen of a central control device, the following steps can be used to identify the user's input and perform corresponding control operations: the touch screen of the central control device uses capacitive sensing technology to detect the user's swiping operation. When the user's finger touches the screen of the central control device, the capacitance of a specific area of ​​the central control device screen can be changed, so that it can be detected by the sensor of the central control device screen. After the central control device screen sensor captures the capacitance change, it converts these physical operations into swiping tracks on the central control device screen. The entire screen sends the recognized letter information to the main control program of the central control device. The main control program analyzes the shape of the swiping track and uses the shape similarity algorithm to determine which English character the user swiped. The main control program determines the letter with the highest matching degree as the detected value, which is one of the 26 English characters "A~Z". Once the letter is determined, the central control device will search for the device name starting with the letter in the database list of home devices. If the user swiped a number, the system will confirm the number "1~9" by comparison and match the device name length flag to quickly locate the device. Through the above recognition, the system can quickly lock the search range and improve the search efficiency. If only one device matches, the system will directly enter the details page of the device, making it convenient for users to perform control operations; if multiple devices match, they need to be found by turning pages, and users can continue to swipe on the screen of the central control device. The central control device will use the results of the previous screening as the basis to detect the second letter match and further narrow the detection range. Each letter that the user swipes continuously will be recognized by the system and used to accurately match the device name until the exact device or list that requires further operation is found. Throughout the process, the central control device will provide visual feedback, such as highlighting matching devices or displaying matching letters, to confirm the user's input. Through this continuous swipe recognition and device matching process, the central control device can provide a fast, intuitive and user-friendly way to control home devices, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0108] Sub-step S12, displaying a selection page of the plurality of candidate preset objects;

[0109] A list containing multiple candidate preset objects may be generated according to the user's swiping operation and the mapping relationship between the preset object and the custom graphic element set. In one example, the central control device provides an interface for displaying these candidate preset objects.

[0110] In some embodiments, each candidate preset object may be displayed in the form of a list, icon, or card on the selection page, and a brief description or status information may be provided next to each object to help the user identify it.

[0111] Sub-step S13, in response to a selection operation of the user on the screen of the central control device, determining a target preset object from the plurality of candidate preset objects.

[0112] In an embodiment of the present invention, the central control device can capture the user's click, touch or other selection operations through the touch screen of the central control device, and execute corresponding home appliance control or scene action according to the target preset object determined by the user.

[0113] In some embodiments, once the user's selection is recognized, the system can confirm the user's decision through visual or auditory feedback, such as highlighting the selected object or emitting a prompt sound.

[0114] In some embodiments, the system may also record the user's selection behavior for subsequent personalized recommendations and system optimization.

[0115] Step 205 , in response to a clear operation of the user on the screen of the central control device, clearing the identified target graphic element.

[0116] The user's clearing operation is captured through the touch screen of the central control device. Once the user's clearing intention is confirmed, the system will execute the clearing action to remove the display of the identified target graphic element from the screen of the central control device.

[0117] In one example, if the user needs to re-search, the user can perform a full clear operation by covering the screen of the central control device with the entire palm. According to the touch properties of the screen of the central control device, the screen supports multi-touch. When the palm covers the screen, there will be multiple screen contact points, which is then determined as a clear operation. In other embodiments, the clear operation can be replaced by 3-finger or 4-finger sliding, or it can be a specific gesture, button click, or voice command.

Taking the device name "air purifier" as an example, the device name "air purifier" is first analyzed, and the first letter of each word is extracted, which are "K" (air), "Q" (gas), "J" (clean), "H" (chemical), and "Q" (device).

[0119] Next, combine these initials to form a set of flags. For "air purifier", the combined flag is "KQJHQ". At the same time, the system will also record the total length of the device name so that when the user searches or selects a device, the device can be quickly located based on the name length. In this example, the name length is 5, so the name length flag is "5". Save these flags and the name length flag in the database and associate them with the corresponding device information. In this way, when the user searches or calls the device through the central control device, the system can quickly match and retrieve the device through these flags. By using the initials flag and the name length flag, the system can improve the efficiency and accuracy of device retrieval, especially when the number of devices is large, this retrieval method can significantly reduce the search time.

[0120] When the user writes the letter "K" on the screen of the central control device, this writing operation is detected by the capacitive sensing technology of the touch screen and converted into a writing track on the screen. After receiving the writing track, the main control program of the central control device uses the shape similarity algorithm to analyze the track and recognize that the user wrote the letter "K". Next, the home appliance or scene mode starting with the letter "K" is searched in the database of home appliances. According to the information in the picture, possible matching devices include "air conditioner", "air purifier" and "happy scene". Once the system recognizes and matches the target preset object, the corresponding control operation will be performed. In an embodiment of the present invention, the central control device can capture the user's click, touch or other selection operation through the touch screen, and perform the corresponding home appliance control or scene action according to the target preset object determined by the user. For example, if the "K" written by the user is recognized and matched to "air conditioner", the system may turn on or adjust the air conditioner. If the "K" written by the user is recognized and matched to "happy scene", the central control device will automatically perform a series of preset operations, such as adjusting the air conditioner temperature, turning on the air purifier, etc., to create a comfortable environment.

[0121] The embodiment of the present invention realizes an intuitive, flexible and user-friendly interactive interface by establishing a mapping relationship between preset objects and custom graphic element sets. The user can identify the target graphic element by swiping on the screen of the central control device, and determine the home appliance that the user wants to control or the scene action to be performed based on the graphic element. When there are multiple candidate preset objects, the system will display a selection page for the user to select the target preset object. In addition, the system also supports clear operations, allowing users to clear identified target graphic elements and configure quick search functions to improve operating efficiency. If the custom graphic element set contains only one preset graphic element, the system will also remind the user to make modifications to ensure the rationality of the custom settings. The embodiment of the present invention reduces the problem of accidental touches that may occur in traditional touch operations. Users do not need to remember complex device names or scene names. They only need to draw corresponding graphics to complete the operation, which greatly simplifies the interaction process.
