[0031] In some embodiments, the control device is, for example, a gateway device, such as a smart gateway.

[0032] In some embodiments, the control device may also be one or more of an indoor unit, an outdoor unit, and a centralized controller. For example, the control function is realized by a control substrate in the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, a control chip in the centralized controller, and the like.

[0033] In some embodiments, the control device in an air treatment system can be one, that is, all devices in the air treatment system that need to be controlled by the control device are controlled by one control device. For example, the target space includes multiple indoor spaces in the home, and the network configuration operation and control are performed on the devices to be configured in the multiple indoor spaces in the home through one control device.

[0034] In some embodiments, alternatively, there may be multiple control devices in an air handling system. For example, in a multi-story building (such as a villa), a control device is provided on each floor, and the target space includes multiple indoor spaces on each floor. Through each control device, the network distribution operation and control are performed on the devices to be networked in the multiple indoor spaces on each floor.

[0035] In some embodiments, the control terminal is used to display pages, etc. and allow users to perform network configuration and control operations on the displayed pages, and generate operation instructions in response to user operations, perform corresponding displays, or send corresponding control instructions to the device.

[0036] For example, the control terminal is a user's smart phone, and the user can enter the network distribution operation page and the control page by running an APP on the smart phone.

[0037] In some embodiments, the local connection is also referred to as a local interconnection. For example, the local connection is a connection established locally through a short-distance communication method, for example, the local connection is a topological networking interconnection, for example, the networking method of the topological networking interconnection includes at least one of Bluetooth networking, Wi-Fi networking and Zigbee networking.

[0038] In some embodiments, the network connection is a connection through the Internet.

[0039] In some embodiments, the server is connected to the control terminal and the network device through a network. For example, the server is a cloud server, which is connected to a router network, and the control device is connected to the server through the network via the router; in addition, the server is also connected to the control terminal through the network.

[0040] In some embodiments, the network configuration of the device to be configured means that the device establishes a network connection with the network device, that is, the device to be configured is connected to the network through the network device. Thus, the control device can be connected to the device via the network device and through the network, for example, the gateway device is connected to the sensor network that has been successfully configured via the router, so as to realize the control of the sensor.

[0041] In the following, the air treatment system and the network distribution method of the equipment in the air treatment system according to the embodiment of the present application are specifically described in combination with a specific scenario. However, the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this scenario.

[0042] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of an implementation of an air treatment system according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0043] exist Figure 1 In the figure, the solid line between modules or devices represents the refrigerant pipeline; in addition, the pipeline with an arrow connecting the modules or devices is the air pipeline; the dotted line composed of short lines between modules or devices represents the local connection, which can be a wired connection or a wireless connection; the dotted line composed of points between modules or devices represents the network connection.

[0044] In addition, in some embodiments, the air handling system may not include Figure 1 All components shown, for example, include some components; in addition, the air handling system may also include Figure 1 Parts not shown.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the air handling system 100 includes an air supply device 110 , an indoor unit 120 , a control terminal 130 , a sensor 140 as a device to be networked, a control device 150 , a network device 160 and a server 170 .

[0046] In some embodiments, the air supply device 110 is used to introduce air, and the air supply device 110 includes at least one of a fresh air processing device, a full heat exchange device (for example, with an internal circulation function or without an internal circulation function), and a ventilation device (for example, with an internal circulation function or without an internal circulation function). The air supply device 110 has an air supply unit, and the air supply unit 110 is, for example, a fan.

[0047] In some embodiments, the air supply device 110 may be provided with one or more, Figure 1 In the example, one air supply device 110 is used as an example for exemplary description. When multiple air supply devices 110 are provided, each air supply device 110 may have Figure 1 The air supply device 110 shown has a similar structure and connection relationship.

[0048] In some embodiments, the service objects of one air supply device 110 may include multiple indoor spaces, and the air supply device 110 supplies air to the multiple indoor spaces through multiple air ducts 190. Figure 1 In the figure, two indoor spaces (space 1 and space 2) are taken as an example for description, however, the embodiment of the present application is not limited to two indoor spaces, and may also have more indoor spaces and set more air ducts for air supply.

[0049] In addition, when there are multiple air supply devices 110 in the system, different air supply devices 110 supply air to different indoor spaces.

[0050] In some embodiments, the indoor space that is the service object of the air supply device 110 may include multiple areas, and the air supply device 110 supplies air to the multiple areas of the indoor space through multiple air ducts 190 respectively.

[0051] In some embodiments, the air duct 190 is an air inlet duct, and each air duct 190 corresponds to a different indoor space, or corresponds to a different area of ​​the indoor space.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, an air duct 191 serving as a return air duct may also be provided to centrally return air to each indoor space or each area and discharge the air to the outdoors.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, each indoor space is provided with an indoor unit 120. However, in some embodiments, some indoor spaces may not be provided with an indoor unit 120.

[0054] In addition, sensors 140 are respectively arranged in each indoor space, wherein the sensor in indoor space 1 is 140-1, and the sensor in indoor space 2 is 140-2. However, in some embodiments, sensors 140 may not be arranged in some indoor spaces.

[0055] In some embodiments, the air handling system 100 includes an air conditioning system.

[0056] The air conditioning system may be a commercial air conditioning system or a domestic air conditioning system.

[0057] In some embodiments, the air conditioning system may include at least one group of outdoor units and at least one indoor unit connected to each group of outdoor units. That is, the air conditioning system may include one or more groups of outdoor units, each group of outdoor units includes at least one outdoor unit; for a group of outdoor units, the group of outdoor units is connected to at least one indoor unit.

[0058] For example, an air conditioning system includes an outdoor unit and an indoor unit connected to the outdoor unit.

[0059] For example, the air conditioning system includes an outdoor unit and at least two indoor units connected to the outdoor unit.

[0060] For example, the air conditioning system includes at least two outdoor units and at least two indoor units connected to the at least two outdoor units.

[0061] For example, a group of outdoor units and at least one indoor unit connected to the group of outdoor units constitute a refrigerant system, or multiple groups of outdoor units and at least one indoor unit respectively connected to the multiple groups of outdoor units constitute multiple refrigerant systems. Thus, the air-conditioning system may include one refrigerant system or multiple refrigerant systems.

[0062] In some embodiments, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit may be air-conditioning equipment of various models, types, forms, and capacities.

[0063] For example, the indoor unit may be in the form of four-sided outlet, two-sided outlet, duct unit, ground outlet or skirting outlet; the outdoor unit may be in the form of single fan top outlet, double fan top outlet, single fan front outlet or double fan front outlet.

[0064] In some embodiments, the sensor 140 includes at least one of a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. For example, at least one of the temperature and humidity of the indoor space where the sensor 140 is located and the temperature and humidity in the air duct 190 are detected by at least one of the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor.

[0065] like Figure 1As shown, for example, the air handling system 100 further includes an outdoor unit 170 , and one outdoor unit 170 is connected to the plurality of indoor units 120 via a refrigerant pipeline 180 .

[0066] In some embodiments, one indoor unit 120 is connected to one air supply device 110, and one air supply device 110 may be connected to one or more indoor units 120. When one air supply device 110 is connected to multiple indoor units 120, air supply to multiple indoor spaces or multiple areas may be achieved.

[0067] In some embodiments, the air treatment system 100 may further include at least one smart device 200, such as a smart socket, a smart lighting device, a smart curtain, etc.

[0068] In some embodiments, the control terminal 130 is a user terminal, such as a user's smart phone, the control device 150 is, for example, an intelligent gateway, and the network device 160 is, for example, a router. The router and the server are connected via a network, and the control terminal and the server are also connected via a network.

[0069] In some cases, it is necessary to configure the network for at least one device to be configured.

[0070] For example, before the user moves in, there is no network in the home (not connected to the Internet), so the sensors, smart devices and other equipment in the new air treatment system in the home are temporarily not equipped with the network; when the user moves in and the network is installed in the home, the sensors, smart devices and other equipment need to be equipped with the network so that they can be connected to the network.

[0071] For another example, when a new device is added to the air handling system, such as a new sensor, the new sensor needs to be networked so that the new sensor can be connected to the network.

[0072] When configuring the first device among the devices to be configured, the control terminal 130 obtains the device identification information of the first device; the control terminal 130 sends the device identification information to the control device 150; the control device 150 locally connects to the first device according to the device identification information; the first device listens to the network configuration information sent by the control device 150 in a broadcast manner; the first device configures the network with the network device 160 according to the listened network configuration information; when the network configuration of the first device is successful, the control terminal 130 displays the network configuration success page of the first device.

[0073] Below, in combination with specific steps, the network distribution method of the equipment in the air treatment system of the embodiment of the present application is specifically described.

[0074] Figure 2 is a block diagram of a network distribution method for equipment in an air treatment system according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0075] Step 201: The control terminal obtains device identification information of a first device in at least one device to be networked;

[0076] Step 202: The control terminal sends the device identification information to the control device;

[0077] Step 203: the control device locally connects to the first device according to the device identification information;

[0078] Step 204: The first device monitors the network configuration information sent by the control device in a broadcast manner;

[0079] Step 205: The first device performs network configuration with the network device according to the monitored network configuration information; and

[0080] Step 206: When the network configuration of the first device is successful, the control terminal displays a network configuration success page of the first device.

[0081] In step 201, the control terminal 130 obtains device identification information of a first device in at least one device to be networked. The first device is, for example, a sensor 140-1 disposed in the indoor space 1. The device identification information of the first device is, for example, a MAC address of the first device.

[0082] In some embodiments, the control terminal 130 obtains the device identification information of the first device according to a first operation instruction, where the first operation instruction is an instruction generated based on a first operation of the user, where the first operation is, for example, an operation in which the user scans a QR code on the first device to obtain a MAC address, or an operation in which the user obtains a MAC address by establishing a Bluetooth connection, or an operation in which the user enters the MAC address of the first device.

[0083] In some embodiments, the control terminal 130 may also obtain the device identification information of the first device by monitoring the device identification information sent by the first device in a broadcast manner after the first device is powered on. For example, after the first device is powered on, it sends a message including a MAC address in a broadcast manner, and the control terminal 130 verifies the message according to a preset verification message. For example, the preset verification message includes the manufacturer identification information to verify whether the first device is a device of this manufacturer. After the verification is successful, the control terminal 130 locally connects to the first device and obtains its MAC address.

[0084] In step 202, the control terminal 130 sends the device identification information of the first device to the control device 150, for example, via NB-IoT or Bluetooth.

[0085] In step 203, the control device 150 establishes a local connection with the first device according to the device identification information. For example, the control device 150 searches for the first device according to the MAC address of the first device; after finding the first device, the control device sends a first interconnection request message to the first device; the first device verifies the first interconnection request message according to the preset verification information, and when the verification succeeds, the control device establishes a local connection with the first device. For example, similarly, the preset verification message includes the manufacturer identification information, and after the verification succeeds, the control terminal 150 establishes a local connection with the first device.

[0086] In some embodiments, the local connection between the control terminal 150 and the first device can be connected via Bluetooth, Zigbee, ESP-NOW, etc.

[0087] In some embodiments, the local connection between the control device and the first device is a topological networking interconnection. For example, the networking mode of the topological networking interconnection includes at least one of Bluetooth networking, Wi-Fi networking and Zigbee networking.

[0088] In some embodiments, the first device also establishes a local connection with a second device in at least one device to be networked, wherein the first device starts broadcasting and listens in a preset channel after power-on; the first device receives a second interconnection request information from the second device in the preset channel; the first device verifies the received second interconnection request information according to preset verification information, and when the verification is successful, the first device establishes a local connection with the second device.

[0089] For example, the second device is other sensors to be networked, such as sensor 140-2 set in indoor space 2, or it can be a smart device to be networked, such as smart device 200 set in indoor space 2, such as a smart socket.

[0090] For example, the preset verification information includes manufacturer identification information, and the manufacturer identification information includes manufacturer name information or preset MAC address number information. The preset MAC address number is, for example, a specific MAC address number corresponding to the manufacturer.

[0091] In this way, verification information including manufacturer identification information is used to determine whether the devices are from the same manufacturer, thereby determining whether to interconnect the devices and ensuring the security of local interconnection.

[0092] In some embodiments, the local connection between the first device and the second device may also be a topological networking interconnection, for example, the networking mode of the topological networking interconnection includes at least one of Bluetooth networking, Wi-Fi networking and Zigbee networking. Wi-Fi networking is, for example, ESP-NOW networking.

[0093] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the topological network structure of the embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the devices in the topological network structure include a control device 150, a sensor 140-1 as a first device, a sensor 140-2 as a second device, and a smart device 200. In addition, Figure 3 The control device 150, the sensor 140-1, the sensor 140-2 and the smart device 200 can be connected to each other in a one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one or many-to-many manner, for example, they can be locally connected to each other via ESP-NOW.

[0094] In this topology networking structure, after a new device is powered on, it will broadcast an interconnection request message in a preset channel, and the interconnection request message includes verification information and the MAC address of the device. After receiving the interconnection request message, other devices will verify the verification information in the interconnection request message according to the preset verification information, for example, verify whether it is a device of the same manufacturer through the manufacturer identification information in the verification information. If yes, interconnection will be carried out, otherwise, interconnection will not be carried out.

[0095] In some embodiments, the device to be networked starts broadcasting after power is turned on, and turns off broadcasting after a preset time. For example, the device to be networked turns off broadcasting 1 minute after starting broadcasting. At this time, the single device may have been locally connected to multiple other devices, or may not be locally connected to other devices. In addition, in some embodiments, network configuration is performed separately for devices that are not locally connected.

[0096] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the data structure of the interconnection request information in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, in the interconnection request information, "vendor specific content" is included, which includes, for example, 7-257 bytes, which includes vendor identification information, such as the vendor identification information including vendor name information or preset MAC address number information. The preset MAC address number is, for example, a specific MAC address number corresponding to the vendor.

[0097] in addition, Figure 4 This is just an example of the data structure of the interconnection request information, and other data structures may also be used. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0098] After the control device 150 establishes a local connection with the first device, in step 204, the first device listens to the network configuration information sent by the control device in a broadcast manner.

[0099] The network configuration information is used for network connection, for example, for connecting to a network device 160 (eg, a router). For example, the network configuration information includes a MAC address, SSID, and password of the network device 160 .

[0100] In some embodiments, the control device 150 obtains the network configuration information when performing network configuration with the network device 160, wherein the control device 150 obtains the network configuration information before locally connecting to the first device, or the control device 150 obtains the network configuration information after locally connecting to the first device.

[0101] For example, the control device 150 has obtained the network configuration information by configuring the network with the network device 160 before the local connection with the first device is established. After the control device 150 completes the local connection with the first device, the control device 150 sends the obtained network configuration information to the first device, so that the network configuration of the first device does not need to input the network configuration information, such as the router SSID and password, thereby reducing the user's operation.

[0102] For another example, the control device 150 obtains the network configuration information after establishing a local connection with the first device. After the control device 150 completes the local connection with the first device, the APP of the control terminal 130 displays that the first device is in an offline state. After the control device 150 establishes a network configuration connection with the network device 160, the network configuration information is actively sent to the first device, so that the first device can automatically configure the network and reduce user operations.

[0103] In some embodiments, the network configuration information is sent by the server 170 to the network device 160 , and then sent by the network device 160 to the control device 150 ; alternatively, the network configuration information is sent directly by the control terminal 130 to the network device 160 , and then sent by the network device 160 to the control device 150 .

[0104] In step 205, the first device performs network configuration with the network device 160 according to the monitored network configuration information; for example, the first device connects to the router according to the MAC address, SSID and password in the network configuration information. In this way, the user does not need to manually enter the network configuration information such as the router account and password, and the network configuration can be completed quickly.

[0105] Furthermore, since the control device 150 sends the network configuration information in a broadcasting manner, other devices to be configured that are locally connected to the control device can also obtain the network configuration information by monitoring and automatically perform network configuration, thereby avoiding the situation where the user manually enters the network configuration information for each device one by one, thereby improving network configuration efficiency and user experience.

[0106] In step 206, when the network configuration of the first device is successful, the control terminal 130 displays the network configuration success page of the first device, so that the user can timely grasp the information of the successful network configuration of the device.

[0107] In some embodiments, when the first device is successfully networked, the first device may send network configuration information by broadcasting.

[0108] For example, the second device in the at least one device to be networked obtains the network configuration information sent by the control device 150 or the first device or other devices in the air treatment system that have completed network configuration in a broadcast manner; and the second device performs network configuration with the network device according to the network configuration information.

[0109] In addition, when the network configuration of the first device fails, the network configuration information is not sent.

[0110] In this way, other devices to be networked that have established local connections can monitor the network configuration information of the network device 160, thereby automatically completing the network configuration, so that the user does not need to manually input the network configuration information, and the network configuration of other devices can be automatically completed, thereby improving the network configuration efficiency and user experience. In addition, since the first device sends the network configuration information in a broadcasting manner after the network configuration is successful, the accuracy of the network configuration information can be ensured, thereby improving the accuracy of the network configuration of other devices.

[0111] In some embodiments, the air handling system 100 has a plurality of control devices 150 and a plurality of network devices 160. For example, a control device 150 and a network device 160 are respectively arranged on different floors.

[0112] The first device can move from a local connection with a first control device among the multiple control devices to a local connection with a second control device among the multiple control devices. For example, the first control device is a second-layer gateway device, the second control device is a third-layer gateway device, and the first device is a third-layer sensor. Initially, the first control device establishes a local connection with the first device. In this case, manual correction can be performed to move the local connection between the first device and the first control device to a local connection with the third control device, thereby receiving the network distribution information of the third-layer network device from the third control device, thereby making a more appropriate network connection and improving the network stability of the network distribution.

[0113] In some embodiments, the first device establishes a local connection with the first control device and the second control device according to preset verification information, and distinguishes different control devices according to control device identification information in the preset verification information. For example, the control device identification information is information such as a MAC address, ID, or number of the control device.

[0114] In this way, the first device can determine whether it has established a local connection with the correct control device, and thus can determine whether it has received appropriate network configuration information and whether it has connected to an appropriate network.

[0115] In some embodiments, the control device can send the network configuration information to another control device. For example, in a multi-story building (such as a villa), the first control device is used to control the devices on the first floor, and the second control device is used to control the devices on the second floor. The first and second floors use one network device, or the first and second floors are respectively provided with one network device and the network configuration information (such as account number and password) of the two network devices is the same. After the first control device obtains the network configuration information, it can be forwarded to the second control device. The second control device can use the network configuration information for network configuration, and after the network configuration is successful, the network configuration information can also be sent in a broadcast manner. For example, after the network configuration information is monitored by the device on the second floor, the device uses the network configuration information for network configuration.

[0116] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is an interactive diagram of an implementation method of a network distribution method for equipment in an air treatment system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0117] Step 501: The control terminal obtains device identification information of the first device by scanning a QR code of at least one device to be networked; for example, the user terminal scans a QR code of a sensor to be networked to obtain a MAC address of the sensor;

[0118] Step 502: The control terminal sends the device identification information of the first device to the control device; for example, the user terminal sends the MAC address of the sensor to the gateway device;

[0119] Step 503: the control device establishes a local connection with the first device according to the device identification information; for example, the gateway device finds the first device according to the MAC address of the first device and establishes a local connection with the first device;

[0120] Step 504: The control device performs network configuration with the network device to obtain network configuration information; for example, the gateway device obtains the account and password of the router during network configuration;

[0121] Step 505: The control device sends the network configuration information in a broadcasting manner;

[0122] Step 506: The first device monitors the network configuration information sent by the control device in a broadcast manner;

[0123] Step 507: the first device performs network configuration with the network device according to the monitored network configuration information; for example, performs network connection according to the account and password of the router in the network configuration information; and

[0124] Step 508: When the network configuration of the first device is successful, the control terminal displays a network configuration success page of the first device.

[0125] In some embodiments, step 504 may be performed before steps 501 - 503 , for example, the control device may have performed network configuration before locally connecting to the first device, that is, the control device has pre-acquired and stored network configuration information.

[0126] In addition, when the network configuration of the first device fails, the control terminal displays a network configuration failure page of the first device.

[0127] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, when the network configuration of the first device is successful, the method may further include:

[0128] Step 509: The first device sends the network configuration information in a broadcasting manner;

[0129] Step 510: a second device among at least one device to be networked establishes a local connection with the first device, and monitors the network configuration information sent by the first device in a broadcast manner;

[0130] Step 511: The second device performs network configuration with the network device according to the monitored network configuration information.

[0131] In addition, when the network configuration of the first device fails, the network configuration information is not sent.

[0132] In some embodiments, the second device may also establish a local connection with the control device, and perform network configuration according to the monitored network configuration information broadcast by the control device.

[0133] The specific execution of the above steps can refer to the relevant records of the previous embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0134] In some embodiments, the network configuration information may not be sent to the network configuration device by the control device at the beginning. For example, during the network configuration process of the first device (such as a sensor), the user enters the network configuration information (such as an account and password) of the network device, and after the first device is successfully configured, the network configuration information is sent to other network configuration devices (such as other sensors or smart devices).

[0135] In some embodiments, the air handling system may further include a humidity control module.

[0136] Figure 6FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the air treatment system of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the structure of the air treatment system 100' is mostly the same as that of the humidity control system 100 in Example 1. The difference from the air treatment system 100 is that the air treatment system 100' further includes:

[0137] The humidity control device 210 is disposed at the downstream side of the air supply device 110 , and is used to control the humidity of the air passing through the air supply device 110 .

[0138] In the embodiments of the present application, the “downstream side” refers to the downstream side in the air flow path, and the “upstream side” refers to the upstream side in the air flow path.

[0139] In some embodiments, the humidity control device 210 may be a dehumidification device, or a humidification device, or a humidity control device having both humidification and dehumidification functions.

[0140] In some embodiments, the humidification device can perform humidification based on various humidification principles.

[0141] For example, the humidity control module humidifies based on wet film, or based on waterless humidification, or based on spray humidification, or based on steam humidification. In addition, the refrigerant pipeline 180 may also be connected to the humidity control device 210.

[0142] According to the above embodiment, the device identification information of the first device among the devices to be networked is obtained by the control terminal, the first device establishes a local connection with the control device and listens to the network configuration information sent by the control device in a broadcast manner, thereby performing network configuration with the network device according to the network configuration information, without the need for the user to manually input the network configuration information, and the network configuration can be completed quickly;

[0143] Furthermore, since the control device sends the network configuration information in a broadcasting manner, other devices to be configured that are locally connected to the control device can also obtain the network configuration information by monitoring and automatically configure the network, thereby avoiding the situation where the user manually enters the network configuration information for each device one by one, thereby improving the network configuration efficiency and user experience;

[0144] In addition, the control terminal displays the corresponding page after the network configuration is successful, and the user can obtain the information of successful network configuration of the device in a timely manner.

[0145] In addition, other devices to be networked that have established local connections can monitor the network configuration information of the network device, thereby automatically completing the network configuration, so that the user does not need to manually enter the network configuration information, and can automatically complete the network configuration of other devices, thereby improving the network configuration efficiency and user experience. In addition, since the first device sends the network configuration information in a broadcasting manner after the network configuration is successful, the accuracy of the network configuration information can be ensured, thereby improving the accuracy of the network configuration of other devices.

[0146] The embodiment of the present application also provides a computer-readable program, wherein when the program is executed, the program enables the computer to execute the network distribution method for equipment in the air treatment system described in the embodiment of the present application.

[0147] An embodiment of the present application further provides a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the storage medium stores a computer program, and the computer-readable program enables a computer to execute the network distribution method for equipment in an air treatment system described in the embodiment of the present application.

[0148] The above devices and methods of the embodiments of the present application can be implemented by hardware, or by hardware combined with software. The present application relates to such a computer-readable program, which, when executed by a logic component, enables the logic component to implement the above devices or components, or enables the logic component to implement the above methods or steps.

[0149] The embodiments of the present application also relate to a storage medium for storing the above program, such as a hard disk, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a DVD, a flash memory, etc.

The steps written in front can be executed first, or later, or even simultaneously. As long as this scheme can be implemented, it should be regarded as belonging to the scope of protection of this application.
