Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to a scene setting method and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of terminal technology, in the smart home system, various devices in the home (such as Figure 1 The audio and video equipment 11, lighting system equipment 12, environmental control equipment 13, security system equipment 14, etc. shown in the figure are connected together to realize centralized control of the equipment.

[0003] Generally, for the convenience of operation, users will create control scenes including multiple devices to realize automatic control of multiple devices based on scenes. For example, creating a waking scene includes setting up multiple devices such as music, curtains, and gauze curtains to start at a preset time, and setting the startup parameters of each device. This makes it convenient for users to not have to turn on each device one by one when getting up.

[0004] In some scenarios of smart homes, the execution of different devices requires a certain delay (time interval). For example, in the wake-up scenario, you need to turn on the music and curtains first, then open the gauze curtains after 10 minutes, and turn off the devices in all rooms after 20 minutes. Currently, when users create control scenes with delays, there are many and repeated steps involved. For example, you need to first select the device to perform the task, then set the specific working parameters of the device (such as on / off, brightness, playback content, etc.), and then add the delay length. If you need to add more delays between tasks, repeat the above steps. The user operation is complicated and the setting difficulty is high during the scene setting process, which affects the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a scene setting method and an electronic device. The technical solution provided by the present application controls the device to create a time-delay scene including multiple sub-scenes by creating a sub-scene corresponding to a spatial slice, thereby reducing the difficulty of setting the time-delay scene and improving the efficiency of creating the time-delay scene.

[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the embodiments of the present application provide the following technical solutions:

[0007] In a first aspect, a scene setting method is provided, which is applied to a control device, and the method includes: in response to a first operation of a user to create a scene, a first interface is displayed, a created first spatial slice is displayed in a first area of ​​the first interface, and first information of a first subscene corresponding to the first spatial slice is displayed in a second area of ​​the first interface, the first information is used to indicate a first task of a first target device included in the first subscene; in response to a second operation of the user, a second spatial slice sorted after the first spatial slice is displayed in the first area, and second information of a second subscene corresponding to the second spatial slice is switched to be displayed in the second area, the second information is used to indicate a second task of a second target device included in the second subscene; in response to a third operation of the user, a first target scene is generated, the first target scene includes a first subscene and a second subscene, and the first target scene includes an indication that the second target device is triggered to perform a second task after a first time interval that triggers the first target device to perform the first task.

[0008] In this way, the control device responds to the user operation and completes the creation of a time-delay scene including multiple sub-scenes by creating a spatial slice and a sub-scene corresponding to the spatial slice. This simplifies the operation steps for the user to set the time-delay scene, reduces the difficulty of setting the time-delay scene, and improves the efficiency of creating the time-delay scene.

[0009] According to the first aspect, the first time interval is a default time interval, or the first time interval is a first time interval between the first space slice and the second space slice set in response to a fourth operation of the user.

[0010] In this way, the control device determines the first time interval between the first spatial slice and the second spatial slice in response to the user operation, and sets the delay scene task for the device in the sub-scene corresponding to the spatial slice. This can simplify the user operation steps, improve the efficiency of the user setting the delay scene task, and simplify the user's operation steps for setting the delay scene.

[0011] According to the first aspect, or any implementation manner of the first aspect above, in response to a second operation of the user, a second spatial slice sorted after the first spatial slice is displayed on the first area, and second information of a second subscene corresponding to the second spatial slice is switched to be displayed on the second area, including: in response to the user's operation of creating a spatial slice, a second spatial slice is generated by copying the first spatial slice, and the copied first information is displayed on the second area; in response to the user's operation on the first information, second information of a second subscene corresponding to the second spatial slice is generated; the second spatial slice is displayed on the first area, and the second information is displayed on the second area.

[0012] In this way, the control device can copy and edit the information of the sub-scene corresponding to the already set spatial slice in the second area in response to the user's operation of adding a spatial slice. The sub-scene corresponding to the next spatial slice with a time interval is set, and a delay scene task is added to the target device in the space corresponding to the spatial slice, and the linkage effect between the sub-scenes corresponding to different spatial slices can be achieved. The user operation steps can be simplified and the efficiency of the user setting the delay scene can be improved.

[0013] According to the first aspect, or any implementation manner of the first aspect above, in response to a first operation of a user to create a scene, a first interface is displayed, a created first spatial slice is displayed in a first area of ​​the first interface, and first information of a first sub-scene corresponding to the first spatial slice is displayed in a second area of ​​the first interface, including: in response to a first operation of a user to create a scene, determining a device status of a controlled device in a current space, the controlled device including a first target device; creating a first spatial slice and generating first information of a first sub-scene corresponding to the first spatial slice according to the device status.

[0014] In this way, the device state of the controlled device in the space may be the device state in the scene that the user wants to create. Therefore, the control device creates an initial space slice (i.e., the first space slice) based on the device state of the controlled device in the current space, which can effectively simplify the setting process of the first sub-scene corresponding to the initial space slice, and make the first information of the first sub-scene meet the actual usage needs of the user.

[0015] According to the first aspect, or any implementation of the first aspect, the first target device and the second target device are devices in the same space, or the first target device and the second target device are devices in different spaces.

[0016] In some examples, according to actual usage requirements, the user may need to configure the delay scenarios corresponding to the controlled devices in the same space, or the user may also need to configure the delay scenarios corresponding to the controlled devices in different spaces.

[0017] In this way, the control device can respond to user operations and add delay scene tasks for devices in different spaces, so that devices in different spaces can be linked to form cross-space delay scenes, thereby improving the intelligence of the smart home system and the quality of life of users.

[0018] According to the first aspect, or any implementation of the first aspect above, in response to the user's second operation, before displaying the second spatial slice sorted after the first spatial slice on the first area and switching to display the second information of the second sub-scene corresponding to the second spatial slice on the second area, the method also includes: detecting the user's second operation instructing to create a spatial slice, determining the first space where the current control device is located; when the first space is the same as the second space where the first target device is located, generating the second spatial slice by copying the first spatial slice; when the first space is different from the second space where the first target device is located, generating the second spatial slice according to the device status of the controlled device in the first space.

[0019] In this way, the control device generates information of sub-scenes corresponding to the spatial slices in different ways based on the user's operation of creating spatial slices, by detecting whether the user is creating spatial slices for the same space or for a space across spaces. When the control device responds to the user's operation to add a spatial slice, if it is detected that the first space where the current control device is located is the same as the second space where the first target device is located, and it is determined that the user is continuing to create sub-scenes for the same space, then the second spatial slice is generated by copying the first spatial slice, which can simplify the user operation. If it is detected that the first space is different from the second space where the first target device is located, and it is determined that the user wants to create sub-scenes for different spaces, then the second spatial slice is generated according to the device status of the controlled device in the first space, which can simplify the subsequent editing of the second spatial slice. Simplify the user operation steps and improve the efficiency of the user in setting the delay scene.

[0020] According to the first aspect, or any implementation of the first aspect, the second target device includes a device whose device state is to be switched in the first target device, and / or a newly added device to be controlled.

[0021] In some examples, during the delay scene setting process, the user can set sub-scenes corresponding to different spatial slices according to actual usage needs, and the sub-scenes corresponding to adjacent spatial slices include the same or different target devices for tasks to be executed. Then, in the process of editing sub-scenes according to user operations, the control device can determine whether the state of the controlled device corresponding to the adjacent spatial slice is a stock device state or an incremental device state, and determine the target device corresponding to the incremental device state as the information of the currently edited sub-scene. So that when the sub-scene is subsequently triggered to execute, the target device corresponding to the incremental device state can be triggered to execute the task, so as to change the device state to the required device state.

[0022] In this way, the control device can determine the second target device for the task to be executed in the current sub-scenario in response to the user operation, which simplifies the user operation steps and reduces the difficulty of setting the delay scene.

[0023] According to the first aspect, or any implementation method of the first aspect above, switching to display the second information of the second sub-scene corresponding to the second spatial slice on the second area includes: switching to display the second information on the second area, and keeping displaying the information of the device whose device status is not switched in the first target device.

[0024] In this way, the control device responds to user operations, and the device information that keeps the device status unchanged in the second area only needs to switch to display the information with increment and / or decrement in the device status, which helps the user understand the scene setting effect and improves the efficiency of the user in setting the delay scene.

[0025] According to the first aspect, or any implementation of the first aspect above, in response to a fifth operation of the user adjusting the arrangement order of the first spatial slice and the second spatial slice displayed in the first display area, the first target scene is modified and a second target scene is generated, and the second target scene includes an indication that the first target device is triggered to perform a fourth task after a first time interval that triggers the second target device to perform a third task.

[0026] In this way, the control device can adjust the execution order of the spatial slices in response to the user operation, thereby easily modifying the order in which the target device executes the time-delay scenario tasks, making the user's operation of setting the time-delay scenario tasks more flexible and simple.

[0027] According to the first aspect, or any implementation of the first aspect above, before generating the first target scene in response to the user's fourth operation, the method also includes: in response to the user's sixth operation of selecting the first spatial slice in the first area, highlighting the spatial slice in the first area according to a preset manner, and switching to display the first information of the first sub-scene in the second area.

[0028] In this way, the control device responds to the user's switching operation on the spatial slice, highlights the selected spatial slice, and switches to display the sub-scene preview interface corresponding to the selected spatial slice, which can facilitate the user to view the effect of the delay scene setting and improve the user's efficiency in setting the delay scene.

[0029] According to the first aspect, or any implementation of the first aspect above, the control device sets the loop parameters of the first target scene in response to the user's seventh operation, and the loop parameters include one or more of the following: number of loops, loop duration, and loop time interval.

[0030] Among them, the number of cycles is used to indicate the number of executions of the delay scene. For example, after determining that the trigger condition of the delay scene is met, the control device triggers the target devices included in the multiple sub-scenes in turn according to the triggering order of the multiple sub-scenes included in the delay scene to perform the corresponding tasks. After that, the control device repeats the above delay scene implementation process according to the number of cycles. The cycle time interval is used to indicate the time interval of the delay scene cycle. For example, the control device instructs the target device to execute the delay scene according to the sub-scene sequence corresponding to the spatial slice, and then after the cycle time interval, the control device instructs the target device to execute the delay scene according to the sub-scene sequence corresponding to the spatial slice. The cycle duration refers to the total duration that the control device controls the target device to perform the task according to the delay scene. For example, the light show delay scene is a cyclic delay scene. After the control device controls the lighting device to perform the task for a cycle duration, it stops controlling the lighting device in the light show scene to perform the task.

[0031] In this way, the control device responds to the user's operation, sets the loop parameters, and can add a loop delay task for the target device. This reduces the operation steps for the user to set the loop delay scene, and reduces the difficulty for the user to set the loop delay scene for the target device. For example, for some loop delay scenes such as light shows that require the target device to repeatedly perform the same task, the user only needs to set the execution task and loop parameters of the target device once to complete the setting of the entire loop delay scene.

[0032] According to the first aspect, or any implementation of the first aspect above, in response to the user's eighth operation, the effectiveness conditions of the first sub-scene or the second sub-scene are set, and the effectiveness conditions include one or more of the effectiveness time, device status change, weather conditions, and time interval.

[0033] In some examples, by adding effective conditions to the triggering of the delay scenario or the sub-scenario in the delay scenario, the delay scenario is automatically executed to meet the actual usage needs of users.

[0034] In this way, the control device responds to user operations and sets the effectiveness conditions for the spatial slices and the sub-scenes corresponding to the spatial slices, which can make the set delay scenes more humane, more intelligent, and closer to the user's life needs, further improving the user's quality of life.

[0035] According to the first aspect, or any implementation of the first aspect above, in response to a ninth operation of the user, a second interface is displayed, and the second interface is used to play an execution effect of the first target scene. The execution effect includes switching to display a first spatial slice and a second spatial slice in the first area, and switching to display first information corresponding to the first spatial slice and second information corresponding to the second spatial slice in the second area.

[0036] In this way, the control device can play the sub-scene corresponding to the spatial slice for the user by responding to the user's instruction to preview the time-lapse scene, making it convenient for the user to preview the time-lapse scene setting effect in real time, greatly improving the user's setting efficiency in creating time-lapse scenes.

[0037] According to the first aspect, or any implementation of the first aspect above, during the process of playing the execution effect of the first target scene, a first command instructing the execution of a first task is sent to the first target device, and a second command instructing the execution of a second task is sent to the second target device.

[0038] In this way, the control device responds to the user's instructions to preview the time-delay scene, allowing the device to execute the time-delay scene in real time in the physical space, greatly improving the visualization and setting efficiency when the user creates the time-delay scene.

[0039] According to the first aspect, or any implementation of the first aspect above, in response to the user's tenth operation, a third spatial slice sorted after the second spatial slice is displayed on the first area, and third information of the third sub-scene corresponding to the third spatial slice is switched to be displayed on the second area, and the third information is used to indicate the fifth task of the third target device included in the third sub-scene; the first target scene also includes an indication of triggering the third target device to perform the fifth task at a second time interval after triggering the second target device to perform the second task, and the second time interval is a default time interval.

[0040] In this way, the control device can create multiple spatial slices in response to user operations and set multiple continuous scene tasks with different time intervals for the target device, which simplifies user operations and improves the efficiency of delay scene setting.

[0041] In a second aspect, a control device is provided. The device includes: a processor, a display screen, and a memory, wherein the memory and the display screen are coupled to the processor, the memory is used to store a computer program code, the computer program code includes a computer instruction, and when the processor reads the computer instruction from the memory, the control device executes: in response to a first operation of a user creating a scene, a first interface is displayed, a first spatial slice created is displayed on a first area of ​​the first interface, and first information of a first sub-scene corresponding to the first spatial slice is displayed on a second area of ​​the first interface, wherein the first information is used to indicate a first task of a first target device included in the first sub-scene; in response to a second operation of the user, a second spatial slice sorted after the first spatial slice is displayed on the first area, and second information of a second sub-scene corresponding to the second spatial slice is switched to be displayed on the second area, wherein the second information is used to indicate a second task of a second target device included in the second sub-scene; in response to a third operation of the user, a first target scene is generated, wherein the first target scene includes a first sub-scene and a second sub-scene, and the first target scene includes an instruction to trigger the second target device to perform a second task after a first time interval that triggers the first target device to perform the first task.

[0042] According to the second aspect, the first time interval is a default time interval, or the first time interval is a first time interval between the first space slice and the second space slice set in response to a fourth operation of the user.

[0043] According to the second aspect, or any implementation of the third aspect above, in response to the user's second operation, a second spatial slice sorted after the first spatial slice is displayed on the first area, and second information of a second subscene corresponding to the second spatial slice is switched to be displayed on the second area, including: in response to the user's operation of creating a spatial slice, a second spatial slice is generated by copying the first spatial slice, and the copied first information is displayed on the second area; in response to the user's operation on the first information, second information of the second subscene corresponding to the second spatial slice is generated; the second spatial slice is displayed on the first area, and the second information is displayed on the second area.

[0081] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Among them, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, the terms used in the following embodiments are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to be used as limitations on the present application. As used in the specification and the appended claims of the present application, the singular expressions "one", "a kind of", "", "above", "the" and "this" are intended to include expressions such as "one or more", unless there is a clear indication to the contrary in the context. It should also be understood that in the following embodiments of the present application, "at least one", "one or more" refer to one or more (including two).

[0082] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" etc. described in this specification mean that one or more embodiments of the present application include specific features, structures or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment. Thus, the statements "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in some other embodiments", "in some other embodiments", etc. that appear in different places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways. The terms "including", "comprising", "having" and their variations all mean "including but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways. The term "connection" includes direct connection and indirect connection, unless otherwise specified. "First" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated.

[0083] In the embodiments of the present application, the words "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplarily" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0084] In some scenarios, as various electronic devices enter people's lives, the concept of smart home system is proposed for the home use of electronic devices. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, with the residence as the platform, the smart home system uses the Internet of Things, automatic control and other technologies to organically combine various electronic devices and application subsystems related to home life. Among them, the smart home devices in the smart home system can include audio and video devices (such as smart screens, Bluetooth speakers, etc.), lighting equipment (such as main lights, table lamps, spotlights, etc.), environmental control equipment (such as air conditioners, air purifiers, etc.), anti-theft alarm equipment (such as human sensors, cameras, etc.), etc.

[0085] When using smart home devices, users can create smart home device scenes to achieve scene control of smart home devices and improve the control efficiency of smart home devices. For example, according to the actual usage scenario, users can add the smart home devices included in the actual usage scenario to the corresponding scene, and set the trigger conditions and tasks that the smart home devices need to perform. For example, setting a scene to turn off the air conditioner includes turning off all the air conditioners in the home when clicking the scene card. This makes it convenient for users to turn off the air conditioner without having to operate each air conditioner one by one when they need to.

[0086] In some scenarios, the execution of different devices requires a certain delay (time interval). Common scenarios include getting up in the morning, going home from get off work, watching movies, looping light shows, family parties, etc. For example, in the scene of getting up, you need to turn on the music and curtains first, then open the gauze curtains after 10 minutes, and turn off the devices in all rooms after 20 minutes. The current smart home control interface only supports the generation of single-moment scenes, and cannot generate scenes with time intervals (delays). If you want to set the actions of multiple devices in a delay scenario, you can only add actions for each device step by step, which is a poor user experience.

[0087] Currently, when users create control scenes with delays, they need to first select the device that performs the task, then set the specific parameters for the device to perform the task (such as on / off, brightness, playback content, etc.), and then add the delay duration. If you need to add delays between more devices performing tasks, repeat the above steps. For example, in a family party light show scene, more devices and delay settings are involved. As a result, the scene setting process involves many and repeated steps, which makes user operations complicated and difficult to set up, affecting the user experience.

[0088] For example, take the case where a smart life application is installed in a mobile phone. After the mobile phone detects the operation of adding a scene in the smart life application, the following is displayed: Figure 2 The scene creation interface 201 shown in (a) of FIG. 201. On the interface 201, after the mobile phone detects that the user clicks the operation of executing the task control 21, the following is displayed: Figure 2 In the interface 202 shown in (b), after the mobile phone detects that the user clicks the smart home device control 22, it determines that the user needs to add a task to control the smart home device, and expands the classification pop-up window of the smart home device. In response to the operation of the smart home device type selected by the user, the following is displayed: Figure 2 Interface 203 is shown in (c). Interface 203 displays controllable smart speaker devices for the user to select. In interface 203, the mobile phone detects that the user clicks the Sound X 01 device control 23, and determines that the smart home device selected by the user to be added to the scene is the Sound X 01 device in the master bedroom. The mobile phone displays the following Figure 2 Interface 204 is shown in (d). Interface 204 displays several options for setting the SoundX 01 device. For example, interface 204 displays the option of playing music for the user to select the type of music. When the mobile phone detects that the user clicks the option of playing music, a pop-up window displays music categories such as European and American music and classical music for the user to choose. When the mobile phone detects that the user has completed the settings in interface 204, it returns to the Figure 2The scene creation interface shown in interface 205 in (e) responds to the user's operation on interface 205 to set the delay of the smart home device action. For example, after the mobile phone detects the user's operation of clicking control 24, it determines that the user is setting the delay action, adding effective conditions or deleting the task of the Sound X 01 device playing European and American music, and pops up a pop-up window including adding effective conditions, delay execution, and deletion options. In response to the user's operation on the delay execution option in the pop-up window, the mobile phone displays the following Figure 2 In the interface 206 shown in (f), the delay time of the Sound X 01 device playing European and American music can be set. After the mobile phone detects that the user clicks the control 25, it displays Figure 2 (g) Interface 207. In interface 207, the mobile phone can determine the delay time of the Sound X 01 device playing European and American music according to the user operation. For example, the delay time is 10 seconds, which indicates that the Sound X 01 device starts playing European and American music 10 seconds after the light bulb is turned on. If more delays between tasks need to be added, repeat the above steps.

[0089] It can be seen that in the process of setting the time-delay scene, the user's operation steps are very cumbersome. In addition, the user needs to pre-envision the scene setting effects of each smart home device required in the time-delay scene to be created. During the scene creation process, the user cannot directly view the scene effect in real time. If the user needs to add or delete some devices in the scene, a complex editing process is also required, which affects the user experience.

[0090] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides a scene setting method. In the delay scene setting process of the smart home device, the control device responds to the first operation of the user to create a scene, displays the first interface, displays the created first spatial slice on the first area of ​​the first interface, and displays the first information of the first sub-scene corresponding to the first spatial slice on the second area of ​​the first interface, and the first information is used to indicate the first task of the first target device included in the first sub-scene. In response to the second operation of the user, the control device displays the second spatial slice sorted after the first spatial slice on the first area, and switches to display the second information of the second sub-scene corresponding to the second spatial slice on the second area, and the second information is used to indicate the second task of the second target device included in the second sub-scene. In response to the third operation of the user, the control device generates a first target scene, the first target scene includes the first sub-scene and the second sub-scene, and the first target scene includes an indication that after the first time interval of triggering the first target device to perform the first task, the second target device is triggered to perform the second task. The embodiment of the present application can simplify the user's delay scene setting operation steps through the above method and lower the threshold for delay scene setting.

[0091] Figure 3Schematic diagram of a communication system to which the delay scenario setting method provided in an embodiment of the present application is applied. Figure 3 As shown, the communication system includes a first electronic device 100 , a server 200 and a control device 300 .

[0092] In some embodiments, the first electronic device 100 may be, for example, a speaker 101, a smart screen 102, a desk lamp 103, a lamp 104, a camera 105, an air purifier 106, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal computer (PC), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a netbook, a wearable electronic device, an artificial intelligence (AI) terminal, or other terminal devices. The operating system installed in the first electronic device 100 includes but is not limited to Or other operating systems. The first electronic device 100 may not be installed with an operating system. In some embodiments, the first electronic device 100 may be a fixed device or a portable device. This application does not limit the specific type of the first electronic device 100, whether an operating system is installed, and the operating system installed when an operating system is installed.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first electronic device 100 may be a smart home device, and each first electronic device 100 may be connected to each other to form a smart home system. The first electronic device 100 may be connected to a server 200, and the server 200 manages each first electronic device 100.

[0094] For example, the server 200 manages one or more first electronic devices 100 included in one or more homes based on the home. When the first electronic device 100 requests to join the network configuration of the smart home system, the server 200 adds the first electronic device 100 to the corresponding home.

[0095] In some embodiments, during the network configuration process, an engineer may set the location information of each first electronic device 100, such as electronic devices in a living room, study, bedroom, etc. Afterwards, the first electronic device 100 and / or the server 200 may store the location information of each first electronic device 100.

[0096] In some embodiments, the server 200 may be a device or network device with computing functions such as a cloud server or a network server. The server 200 may be a single server, or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or a cloud computing service center. The server 200 may also be described as a smart home cloud platform for managing smart home devices included in a smart home system. Alternatively, the server 200 may also be a local device, or a device group consisting of multiple devices.

[0097] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the communication system may further include a control device 300. The control device 300 may be connected to one or more first electronic devices 100 to manage and control the first electronic devices 100.

[0098] In some embodiments, the control device 300 may be a dedicated device for controlling smart home devices, or a device including the function of controlling smart home devices. For example, the control device 300 may be a smart home device control panel 302, or a terminal device with a display function such as a mobile phone 301, a tablet, a smart speaker, a smart watch, etc. Among them, the smart home device control panel 302 is a dedicated device for controlling smart home devices in a smart home system. In some embodiments, the control device 300 may be a fixed device or a portable device. The present application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific form of the control device 300.

[0099] In some embodiments, the control device 300 is connected to one or more first electronic devices 100 to obtain device information of the first electronic devices 100. The control device 300 provides a human-computer interaction interface, displays device information of the first electronic device 100 to the user through the human-computer interaction interface, and receives control commands from the user on the devices of the first electronic device 100.

[0100] In some embodiments, a first application is installed in the control device 300. The first application is a smart home application that can connect to a smart home device and edit and manage the smart home device. Figure 3 As shown, the control device 300 is connected to one or more first electronic devices 100 through a first application. In some embodiments, the first application is a smart life application.

[0101] In some embodiments, during the process of starting the first application, the control device 300 detects the user's operation of adding a device, searches for the first electronic device 100 nearby, and configures the searched first electronic device 100. In the network configuration process, the control device 300 sends the network information of the local area network (such as the network name and password) to the first electronic device 100, assists the first electronic device 100 to join the same local area network as the control device 300, and the first electronic device 100 can establish a wireless communication connection with the control device 300. In addition, the control device 300 sends the device information of the first electronic device 100 to the server 200, so that the server 200 adds the first electronic device 100 to the corresponding home and assigns a device identity document (ID) to the first electronic device 100. Then, the server 200 can subsequently manage the first electronic device 100 included in the home in a unified manner.

[0102] For example, the control device 300 receives a scene creation command input by the user, and creates and displays a space slice 1 according to the device state of the first electronic device 100 in the current space (such as a room). Afterwards, the control device 300 can complete the creation of sub-scene 1 according to the user's operation on the sub-scene corresponding to the space slice 1, and the sub-scene 1 includes at least one task that the first electronic device 100 needs to perform. The control device 300 can also create more space slices in response to user operations, and the sub-scenes corresponding to different space slices can be used to instruct the same or different first electronic devices 100 to perform corresponding tasks. Afterwards, the control device 300 can set the time interval for the first electronic device 100 of different sub-scenes to send the execution task instruction according to the user operation to generate the final delay scene.

[0103] The control device 300 can save the time-delay scene to facilitate the user to view or edit the time-delay scene next time.

[0104] In some embodiments, the control device 300 may send the information of the time-delay scene to the server 200. After the server 200 determines that the time-delay scene trigger condition is met, it may directly control the first electronic device 100 included in the time-delay scene to execute the task to be executed by the first electronic device 100 in the scene. In the process of scene control, the server may send a task execution instruction to the first electronic device 100 included in the corresponding sub-scene according to the time interval information between different sub-scenes included in the time-delay scene, so that the devices in the same scene can execute tasks at different times, enrich the setting effect of the time-delay scene, and meet the user's usage needs.

[0105] It should be noted that the above example uses the process of the control device 300 starting the first application and triggering the first electronic device 100 to join the home as an example to illustrate the process of adding the first electronic device 100 to the corresponding home. It is understandable that the method of triggering the first electronic device 100 to join the home may also include other methods. For example, if the control device 300 has not started the first application after it is powered on, it can also automatically search for nearby first electronic devices 100 that are not connected to the local area network and / or have not joined the home, and according to user operations, connect some or all of these first electronic devices 100 to the local area network and join the corresponding home. This embodiment of the present application does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0106] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the above communication system may also not include the control device 300. The first electronic device 100 is added to the home managed by the server 200, and the server 200 can directly obtain the information of all the first electronic devices 100 in the home. Then, subsequently, any electronic device with processing capability among the first electronic devices 100 can send a request to the server 200 as needed to obtain the information of other first electronic devices 100. Afterwards, the electronic device, as the main device, can be used to control other first electronic devices 100 and create a time-delay scenario including one or more first electronic devices 100.

[0107] For example, the first electronic device 100 includes a smart screen 102, and the smart screen 102 can create a time-delay scene including one or more first electronic devices 100 according to user operations, and send the time-delay scene to the server 200. After the server 200 determines that the time-delay scene trigger condition is met, it can directly control the first electronic device 100 included in the time-delay scene to perform the task to be performed by the first electronic device 100 in the time-delay scene.

[0108] In some embodiments, the operating system is, for example, a smart home system, and the first electronic device 100 is a smart home device. Alternatively, the operating system is a smart office system, and the first electronic device 100 is a smart office device. Alternatively, the communication system may also be other communication systems such as a smart campus communication system, which is not limited in the present embodiment of the application. The following takes the case where the communication system is, for example, a smart home system and the first electronic device 100 is a smart home device as an example to describe in detail the scene setting method provided in the present embodiment of the application.

[0121] The power management module 141 is used to connect the battery 142, the charging management module 140 and the processor 110. The power management module 141 receives input from the battery 142 and / or the charging management module 140, and supplies power to the processor 110, the internal memory 121, the display screen 194, the camera 193, and the wireless communication module 160.

The memory may exist independently and be connected to the processor via a communication line 502. The memory may also be integrated with the processor.

[0146] The memory 503 is used to store computer-executable instructions for implementing the solution of the present application, and the execution is controlled by the processor 501. The processor 501 is used to execute the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory 503, thereby implementing the scene setting method provided in the following embodiment of the present application.

[0147] In some embodiments, the computer-executable instructions in the embodiments of the present application may also be referred to as application code, instructions, computer programs or other names, and the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit this.

[0148] In a specific implementation, as an embodiment, the processor 501 may include one or more CPUs, such as Figure 4B CPU0 and CPU1 in.

[0149] In a specific implementation, as an embodiment, the communication device may include multiple processors, such as Figure 4B 501 and processor 507 in the embodiment of the present invention. Each of these processors may be a single-CPU processor or a multi-CPU processor. The processor herein may refer to one or more devices, circuits, and / or processing cores for processing data (e.g., computer program instructions).

[0150] In a specific implementation, as an embodiment, the communication device may further include an output device 505 and an input device 506. The output device 505 communicates with the processor 501 and may display information in a variety of ways. For example, the output device 505 may be a liquid crystal display (LCD), a light emitting diode (LED) display device, a cathode ray tube (CRT) display device, or a projector. The input device 506 communicates with the processor 501 and may receive user input in a variety of ways. For example, the input device 506 may be a mouse, a keyboard, a touch screen device, or a sensor device.

[0151] The above-mentioned communication device can be a general device or a special device, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of the communication device. For example, the communication device is a smart home device control panel, which is a special device for controlling smart home devices. For another example, the communication device is a mobile phone, which is a general device that can control smart home devices.

[0152] In the following, the scene setting method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the communication system as a smart home communication system, the control device 300 as a smart home device control panel, the application for managing smart home devices as a smart life application, and the first electronic device 100 as a smart home device as an example.

[0153] In some embodiments, before the smart home devices in the smart home system are delivered to users for use, engineers are required to configure and debug the smart home devices. This process is the pre-installation process of the smart home devices. During the pre-installation process, engineers will set the location information of the smart home devices according to the installation location of the smart home devices. Among them, the location information includes, for example, home information, room information, etc. For example, in home1, the location information of lights 1-5 is the living room, the location information of the curtains is the bedroom, the location information of the gauze curtains is the living room, etc. Afterwards, the smart home device control panel and the corresponding server can obtain the location information of the smart home devices that have been set up. In some embodiments, the location information of the smart home device is spatial location information, such as the room information of the smart home device.

[0154] In some embodiments, after an electronic device is connected to a local area network, it can discover other electronic devices connected to the same local area network and / or logged into the same account, and these electronic devices can be classified as smart home devices in the same home. Then, the scene settings can be performed for the electronic devices in the same home. The account is used to represent the account of the smart home device management system that the electronic device logs into during the server registration process (such as the pre-installation process).

[0155] For example, a user registers for a smart life application and obtains an account username and password. Later, during the network configuration process of a new electronic device, the user logs in to the account through other electronic devices that have been configured (such as mobile phones) to assist the new electronic device in network configuration. Then, the server divides the electronic devices under the same account into the same home to implement electronic device management based on home. In some embodiments, the server manages one or more homes, and a home includes all electronic devices in a home added by the user.

[0156] Specifically, taking the smart home device control panel as an example, after the smart home device control panel is logged in in the smart life application, after detecting the user's operation of adding an electronic device, it sends the device information of the newly added electronic device to the server, and the server determines the electronic device ID, and divides the electronic device into the home corresponding to the current login account of the smart home device control panel to complete the network configuration of the electronic device. Alternatively, the smart home device control panel responds to the user's operation and sends the device information of the newly added electronic device to the server, and the server determines the electronic device ID and divides the electronic device into the home corresponding to the smart home device control panel. In some embodiments, the smart home device control panel can also log in to multiple accounts, and the same server divides the home according to the account.

[0157] In some embodiments, electronic devices included in a home may be divided into one or more groups according to location information of the electronic devices, such as dividing electronic devices in a room into one group.

[0158] In some embodiments, in a room, electronic devices included in the room may be divided into one or more groups according to their functions, such as dividing all lighting devices in a room into one group.

[0159] In some embodiments, the user can also divide the groups according to the needs. For example, the electronic devices in room 1 and room 2 are divided into the same group, and in the scene setting process, the scene including the electronic devices in these two rooms can be set. For another example, the commonly used electronic devices are divided into the same group, and the scene including the commonly used electronic devices can be set.

[0160] In some embodiments, the smart home device control panel can obtain and display the device status of the smart home devices in the space, so that the user can see the device status in the room at a glance. In some examples, the smart home device control panel can determine its own spatial position based on its own positioning module, thereby obtaining the device status of the smart home devices in the current space. For example, in response to the user's operation of creating a scene, the smart home device control panel can determine that the user is in the bedroom (the user's position is the same as the smart home control panel position). Then, the smart home device control panel can display the device status of one or more smart home devices included in the bedroom.

[0161] In some scenarios, different smart home devices in the scene do not need to have a time interval when performing tasks. For example, the cinema scene includes a smart screen and a smart speaker. When the scene is triggered to execute, the smart home device control panel sends control commands to the smart screen and the smart speaker at the same time (or with a certain time error), and the smart screen and the smart speaker can start running in response to the control command, thereby realizing the cinema scene.

[0162] In other scenarios, different smart home devices in the scene need to have a time interval when performing tasks in order to achieve the corresponding effect or meet the actual needs of users. For example, a light show scene includes multiple smart lights. To achieve the light show effect, when the scene is triggered, different smart lights need to be turned on or off at a certain interval. Therefore, the smart home device control panel needs to send a start command or a shutdown command to the corresponding smart light at a certain time interval according to the set delay scene.

[0163] In some embodiments, the time-delay scene includes multiple sub-scenes, and there is a certain time interval t between the realization of different sub-scenes, t≥0s. Among them, the sub-scene includes one or more tasks to be performed by smart home devices. For example, the time-delay scene is a light show scene applied to 3 smart lights in the living room. The time-delay scene includes sub-scene 1 for indicating the start of smart light 1, sub-scene 2 for indicating the start of smart light 2, and sub-scene 3 for indicating the start of smart light 3. The time interval between the realization of the three sub-scenes is 1s. Then, in the process of realizing the light show scene, the smart home device control panel determines that the realization conditions of the light show scene are met, and sends a start instruction to smart light 1. After 1s, the smart home device control panel sends a start instruction to smart light 2. After another 1s, the smart home device control panel sends a start instruction to smart light 3, thereby completing the realization of the light show scene.

[0164] In some embodiments, in order to simplify the setting process of the time-delay scene and intuitively display the scene setting effect for the user. During the time-delay scene setting process, the smart home device control panel can display the space slice corresponding to the sub-scene and the sub-scene setting interface corresponding to the space slice according to the user operation. In this way, the user can intuitively confirm the setting effect of each sub-scene and the time interval between different sub-scenes. Thereby simplifying the user's time-delay scene setting operation and lowering the threshold for time-delay scene setting.

[0165] It should be understood that spatial slicing can also be described in various ways, such as sub-scene slicing, time-delay scene slicing, smart home device task slicing, etc. The following takes spatial slicing as an example to introduce the sub-scene setting process of task execution with time intervals in the time-delay scene.

[0166] The following is a detailed introduction to the delay scenario setting process.

[0167] In some embodiments, the smart home device control panel obtains the current space information and the device status information of the smart home devices in the current space in response to the user's operation of creating a scene, so as to display the scene creation interface corresponding to the current space. In some examples, the scene creation interface includes an initial space slice, and a sub-scene setting interface corresponding to the initial space slice, and the sub-scene setting interface is used to display the device status of the smart home devices corresponding to the initial space slice. Among them, the space includes, for example, the room where the smart home device control panel is located.

[0168] Exemplarily, the smart home device control panel responds to the user operation, starts the smart life application, and displays the following information: Figure 5 In (a), the smart life application interface shown in the interface 50a. In response to the user's operation on the scene generation control 50 displayed on the smart life application interface, the smart home device control panel determines that the user's current space is the living room, then the smart home device control panel can obtain the device status of the smart home device in the living room, and create an initial space slice corresponding to the device status of the smart home device in the current living room. Figure 5 As shown in interface 50b in (b), the smart home device control panel displays a time-lapse scene editor 51, and displays an initial space slice 52 (or described as space slice 1) on the time-lapse scene editor 51. As shown by reference numeral 53, the smart home device control panel displays sub-scene information corresponding to the initial space slice 52 on the sub-scene setting interface, such as the device status of multiple smart home devices in the current space. In some examples, such as Figure 5In the interface 50b shown in (b), the smart home device control panel displays a device startup area (in the circular area shown by the reference numeral 54) on the sub-scene setting interface. The device (or subsystem) icon located in the device startup area is used to indicate that the corresponding smart home device is in the startup state, and the device (or subsystem) icon located outside the device startup area is used to indicate that the corresponding smart home device is in the shutdown state.

[0169] In some examples, the smart home device control panel displays the sub-scene setting information corresponding to the currently selected space slice on the sub-scene setting interface. For example, as shown in interface 50b, sub-scene 1 corresponding to space slice 1 is used to indicate that the washing machine, humidifier, and dryer are in the started state, and other smart home devices are in the turned off state.

[0170] In some examples, the spatial slices displayed in the time-lapse scene editor 51 may be thumbnails corresponding to the sub-scenes.

[0171] In some examples, the smart home device control panel can modify the sub-scene in response to user operations. For example, in response to the user moving the device (or subsystem) icon located in the device startup area to outside the device startup area, the control state of the smart home device corresponding to the device (or subsystem) icon in the sub-scene can be modified to the off state. In response to the user moving the device (or subsystem) icon located outside the device startup area to the device startup area, the control state of the smart home device corresponding to the device (or subsystem) icon in the sub-scene can be modified to the on state.

[0172] In this way, the smart home device control panel presents the sub-scene setting information corresponding to the spatial slice through the device startup area and the changes in the display position of the icon inside and outside the device startup area, so that users can view the device status indicated by the sub-scene corresponding to the current spatial slice in real time, thereby improving the efficiency of setting the delay scene.

[0173] In some examples, the smart home device control panel can create space slice 1 in response to the user's operation of creating a scene, and the sub-scene corresponding to the space slice 1 is a blank sub-scene to be set. For example, the device status corresponding to the sub-scene displayed on the sub-scene setting interface is that all smart home devices in the current space are set to the off state. Afterwards, the user can indicate the devices to be started that need to be added to the sub-scene according to actual usage needs, so as to avoid the situation where the device status of the smart home devices in the current space does not meet the user's scene setting needs. For example, a large number of smart home devices are turned on in the current space, and these smart home devices are not the smart home devices that the user needs to add to the sub-scene to indicate startup. In this case, if the smart home control panel creates space slice 1 and the sub-scene corresponding to space slice 1 according to the actual operating status of the smart home devices in the space, the user needs to move multiple device icons to correct the sub-scene setting information, resulting in cumbersome user operations.

[0174] Alternatively, the device state corresponding to the blank sub-scene is that all smart home devices in the current space are set to the start state.

[0175] In some examples, in response to a user's operation on a device (or subsystem) icon located in the device startup area, the smart home device control panel may display a parameter setting window of the smart home device corresponding to the device (or subsystem) icon, so that the user can set the parameters of the smart home device in the sub-scene to perform tasks. For example, the operating mode after the washing machine is started. In some examples, in response to a user's operation on a device (or subsystem) icon, the smart home device control panel may send a control command to the corresponding smart home device to instruct the smart home device to start, shut down, run according to corresponding parameters, etc., so that the user can actually determine the execution effect of the sub-scene.

[0176] In some embodiments, the time-delay scene includes multiple sub-scenes. During the time-delay scene creation process, the smart home device control panel responds to the user's operation of creating a space slice, adds a new space slice, and creates a sub-scene corresponding to the newly added space slice.

[0177] In some examples, the smart home device control panel can add a new spatial slice by copying the previous spatial slice.

[0178] For example, Figure 5 In the interface 50b shown in (b), the smart home device control panel generates the following in response to the user's operation of adding a space slice control 55: Figure 5 (c) The spatial slice 2 shown by reference numeral 56 in the interface 50c is a spatial slice generated by copying the spatial slice 52 (ie, spatial slice 1) arranged before the spatial slice 2 in the time-lapse scene editor.

[0179] In this way, the smart home device control panel responds to user operations, creates spatial slices and multiple sub-scenes corresponding to the spatial slices, so as to achieve a certain time interval between the execution of tasks of smart home devices in different sub-scenes, thereby completing the setting of the delay scene. The operation steps for users to set the delay scene are simplified. In addition, the set spatial slices, the sub-scenes corresponding to the spatial slices, and the time intervals between the spatial slices are visually displayed on the smart home device control panel, and the user can intuitively confirm the setting effect of each sub-scene. This improves the efficiency of setting the delay scene for users and lowers the threshold for users to set the delay scene.

[0180] In some embodiments, after adding a new spatial slice, the smart home device control panel displays a sub-scene setting interface corresponding to the newly added spatial slice, and the sub-scene setting interface is used to set the sub-scene corresponding to the newly added spatial slice.

[0181] For example, Figure 6 As shown in (a), the smart home device control panel displays the newly added spatial slice 2 on the time-delay scene editor, and displays the sub-scene setting interface of the sub-scene 2 corresponding to the spatial slice 2 on the interface 60a. If the setting information of the sub-scene 2 displayed on the sub-scene setting interface of the current sub-scene 2 is the same as the setting information of the sub-scene 1 corresponding to the spatial slice 1 that the user has already set up, the user can modify the setting information of the sub-scene 2 according to actual needs. If the smart home device control panel detects that the user drags the main light icon 65 to the device startup area as shown in the figure mark 66 on the sub-scene setting interface along the arrow direction as shown in the figure mark 64, it can be determined that the user instructs to add the startup task of the main light corresponding to the main light icon 65 in the sub-scene 2. The smart home device control panel responds to the user's dragging operation, such as Figure 6 As shown in the interface 60b of (b), the main light icon 65 is displayed in the device startup area as shown by the reference numeral 66, and the main light icon 65 is no longer displayed outside the device startup area as shown by the reference numeral 67.

[0182] Repeat the above steps, and the user can complete the setting of sub-scene 2 according to the needs. Figure 7 As shown in (a), the device icons displayed in the area indicated by reference numeral 71 represent the devices enabled in sub-scene 2 corresponding to spatial slice 2 before being set by the user (i.e., the devices enabled in the sub-scene indicated by spatial slice 1). Figure 7As shown in (b) of FIG. 1 , the smart home device control panel responds to the user's operation of adjusting the device state indicated by the sub-scene 2 corresponding to the spatial slice 2, and adds a smart home device switched to the on state in the sub-scene 2 corresponding to the spatial slice 2. For example, the device icons in the areas indicated by reference numerals 72 and 73 represent smart home devices that are newly switched to the on state in the sub-scene 2 relative to the sub-scene 1.

[0183] In this way, the smart home device control panel responds to the user's editing operation on the device status in the sub-scene corresponding to the space slice, and completes the setting of the sub-scenes corresponding to different space slices. The smart home device control panel intuitively displays the sub-scene setting process through the sub-scene setting interface, helping users understand the scene setting effect and improving the user experience.

[0184] In some embodiments, the smart home device control panel determines the order in which the sub-scenes corresponding to the spatial slices are executed according to the arrangement order of the spatial slices in the time-delay scene editor. Figure 6 In the scenario shown, during the execution of the time-delay scenario, the smart home device control panel instructs the smart home devices in sub-scene 1 corresponding to space slice 1 to perform tasks, and then instructs the smart home devices in sub-scene 2 corresponding to space slice 2 to perform tasks. Then, during the space slice switching process, the tasks performed by the smart home devices in the space corresponding to the switched space slice may be the part with increments and / or decrements between the device states corresponding to the switched space slice and the space slice before switching. For the stock states that have not changed between the device states corresponding to the two space slices before and after the switching, the device states of the smart home devices in the corresponding space are not changed accordingly.

[0185] For example, Figure 6 The space slice 2 indicated by reference numeral 63 in (b) is adjusted after the device status of the smart home device in the corresponding sub-scene is adjusted. Figure 6 The device status of the smart home device in the sub-scene corresponding to the spatial slice 1 indicated by the reference numeral 62 in (a) has an increment, that is, there is a smart home device that needs to change the device status. Figure 7 (a) is the device status in sub-scene 1 corresponding to spatial slice 1. Figure 7 (b) shows the device status of sub-scene 2 corresponding to spatial slice 2. Figure 7 The icons in the area indicated by reference numeral 71 in (a) and (b) are the stock parts of the devices in the turned-on state of the sub-scene corresponding to spatial slice 2 and the devices in the turned-on state of the sub-scene corresponding to spatial slice 1. Figure 7The icons in the area indicated by reference numerals 72 and 73 in (b) represent the incremental part of the devices in the turned-on state of the sub-scene corresponding to spatial slice 2 and the devices in the turned-on state of the sub-scene corresponding to spatial slice 1. In the subsequent delayed scene execution process, when the smart home device control panel switches from spatial slice 1 to spatial slice 2 for execution, it instructs the four smart home devices corresponding to the auxiliary light, main light, gauze curtain, and cloth curtain in the area indicated by reference numerals 72 and 73 to perform the turn-on task, without instructing the washing machine, humidifier, and dryer in the area indicated by reference numeral 71 to change the device status.

[0186] It should be understood that the above example uses device startup to illustrate the increment of device status. In the embodiment of the present application, the change (increment or decrement) of the device status includes not only device startup, but also device shutdown, change of device operating parameters, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0187] In some embodiments, when a user sets multiple sub-scenes in a time-delay scene, it is necessary to instruct the smart home devices in different sub-scenes to perform their respective tasks separately. That is, there is a certain time interval between different sub-scenes. For example, Figure 6 In the scenario shown, there is a certain time interval between the execution of sub-scene 1 corresponding to space slice 1 and the execution of sub-scene 2 corresponding to space slice 2 by the smart home device control panel

[0188] In this way, the smart home device control panel can create multiple sub-scenes in response to the user's operations of adding and editing spatial slices in the control panel to complete the creation of time-delay scenes, which simplifies the user's operating steps for creating time-delay scenes and can greatly improve the user's efficiency in creating time-delay scenes.

[0189] In addition, when the smart home device control panel executes corresponding sub-scenes in sequence according to the arrangement order of multiple space slices, the smart home devices in different sub-scenes can achieve a linkage effect.

[0190] In some embodiments, there are many types of smart home devices, and the smart home device control panel can classify device icons to facilitate users to find device icons. In some embodiments, the smart home device control panel can classify device icons based on the functions, location information or user needs of the smart home devices.

[0191] For example, the smart home device control panel divides the smart home devices into subsystems according to their functions, such as lighting subsystem, sunshade subsystem, heating and cooling subsystem, audio and video entertainment subsystem, etc. Each space in the home (such as each room) includes one or more subsystems, and the whole house (i.e., the entire home) also includes one or more corresponding systems. Users can filter out the smart home devices that need to set tasks through subsystems to simplify user operations.

[0192] In some embodiments, the smart home device control panel displays classified device icons in response to user operations. In some embodiments, the smart home device control panel may provide a subsystem index, a filter, or other controls that can help users quickly find device icons that need to set tasks, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0193] For example, in Figure 6 The interface 60a shown in (a) provides an index of one or more subsystems corresponding to the current space, as shown by reference numeral 61. In response to the user's operation of selecting a control corresponding to a subsystem in the subsystem index, the smart home device control panel only displays or highlights the icons of the devices corresponding to the subsystem in the device startup area shown by reference numeral 66 and / or outside the device startup area shown by reference numeral 67. This facilitates the user to quickly learn the devices included in the subsystem in the current space and the positions of the device icons in the interface.

[0194] Exemplarily, the multiple subsystems displayed in the area indicated by reference numeral 61 include one or more smart home devices. For example, the lighting subsystem includes multiple lighting devices such as main lights, auxiliary lights, decorative lights, and atmosphere lights. In response to the user selecting the operation of the lighting subsystem (such as the user selecting the operation of the control corresponding to the lighting subsystem), only the icons of the above devices corresponding to the lighting subsystem can be displayed or highlighted in the area indicated by reference numeral 66 and / or reference numeral 67.

[0195] In some embodiments, the control in the area indicated by reference numeral 61 may also be a device filter corresponding to the current space, which is used to display the icons of the devices corresponding to the multiple subsystems in a preset manner in response to the user's operation of selecting multiple subsystems. For example, the smart home device control panel may filter and display only the icons of the devices corresponding to the multiple subsystems in the device startup area indicated by reference numeral 66 and / or outside the device startup area indicated by reference numeral 67 in response to the user's operation of selecting multiple subsystems in the device filter, or arrange the icons of the devices corresponding to the multiple subsystems before the icons of the devices corresponding to other subsystems for priority display.

[0196] In this way, the smart home device control panel can respond to user operations by providing classification of device icons, helping users quickly find device icons that need to add tasks, thereby improving the efficiency of sub-scene settings. In some embodiments, during the delay scene creation process, the smart home device control panel responds to user operations, creates multiple sub-scenes, and completes the settings of multiple sub-scenes. There is a time interval between different sub-scenes to achieve a certain time interval between the execution of tasks of smart home devices in different sub-scenes, thereby meeting the user's demand for the execution delay of smart home devices in the scene.

[0197] In some examples, the smart home device control panel creates a new space slice in response to the user's operation of adding a new space slice, and sets the time interval between the new space slice and the previous space slice to a default value, such as 1 second. Alternatively, it can also be a user-defined value, a user-common value, etc.

[0198] In some examples, the smart home device control panel modifies the time interval between different spatial slices in response to user operations.

[0199] In some embodiments, a time capsule control for setting a time interval for a space slice is displayed on the control panel of the smart home device. Exemplarily, the control panel of the smart home device sets the time interval between space slice 1 and space slice 2 in response to the user's operation on the time capsule control.

[0200] For example, in Figure 8 In the interface 80a shown in (a), the capsule-shaped control pointed to by reference numeral 83 and located between spatial slice 1 (as shown by reference numeral 81) and spatial slice 2 (as shown by reference numeral 82) is a time capsule control 83. In some examples, when displaying spatial slice 1, the smart home device control panel responds to the user's operation of creating spatial slice 2, displays the newly created spatial slice 2, and displays the time capsule 83 between spatial slice 1 and spatial slice 2, and the time capsule 83 may display a default time interval. In some examples, the smart home device control panel responds to the user's operation on the time capsule 83 to modify the time interval between spatial slices. Figure 8 As shown by reference numeral 83 in (b), the smart home device control panel changes the time interval displayed on the time capsule control 83 to 3s in response to the user operation. Thus, the time interval between the execution of space slice 1 and space slice 2 is set to 3s.

[0201] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned response to the user's operation on the time capsule may be in response to the user double-clicking the time capsule control and inputting the time interval value to set the time interval value, or in response to the user's operation on the pop-up time capsule setting window, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. The set time interval value may be the time interval value input by the user into the time capsule control, or the time interval value selected by the user from several time interval values ​​provided in the time capsule control, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this either.

[0202] In some scenarios, users can set the effective conditions for switching between different sub-scenarios in the time delay scenario. For example, the effective conditions include the above time interval. In some embodiments, in addition to the time interval, the effective conditions of the spatial slice may also include delayed execution, effective time, device status change, weather conditions, etc. In some examples, the user can also edit other effective conditions of the spatial slice while editing the above time interval.

[0203] Exemplarily, the smart home device control panel displays a preset control between adjacent space slices. In response to the user's operation on the preset control, the smart home device control panel displays an effective condition setting window. In response to the user's operation in the effective condition window, the smart home device control panel can set the effective condition of the space slice that is sorted later in the adjacent space slices. For example, in the sleeping scene of the bedroom space, in order to improve the user's sleep quality, it is necessary to make the air-conditioning temperature of the bedroom space adaptively adjusted with the change of seasons. The smart home device control panel, in response to the user's operation, adds the effective condition of the weather condition to the space slice for adjusting the indoor temperature of the bedroom. When the smart home device control panel detects that the weather reaches the effective condition of the preset weather condition, such as when it detects that the weather condition is changing from spring to summer, the sub-scene corresponding to the space slice for indoor cooling is executed.

[0204] In this way, the smart home device control panel responds to user operations and sets the effectiveness conditions for the space slices, which can make the set delay scenes more intelligent and closer to user needs, further improving the user's quality of life.

[0205] In some embodiments, during the scene editing process, the user may need to view the preview interface of the sub-scene corresponding to different space slices. Then, the smart home device control panel can switch to display the preview interface of the sub-scene corresponding to different space slices (such as the scene setting interface above) in response to the user's switching operation on the space slice.

[0206] For example, in response to a user's selection operation on a certain space slice, the smart home device control panel may highlight the space slice and switch to display the sub-scene setting information corresponding to the space slice on the scene setting interface. Fig. 9As shown in the interface 90a in (a), the smart home device control panel displays the sub-scene setting information corresponding to the space slice 3 on the scene setting interface, and the smart home device control panel can highlight the space slice 3 shown by the reference numeral 93. Afterwards, the smart home device control panel detects that the user clicks the space slice 2 shown by the reference numeral 92, and can display the following Fig. 9 In the interface 90b shown in (b), the smart home device control panel may highlight the space slice 2 shown by reference numeral 92 on the interface 90b, and cancel the highlighting of the space slice 3 shown by reference numeral 93. In some examples, in the scene setting interface of the selected space slice displayed by the smart home device control panel, the smart home device control panel may switch to display the space state (or device state) of the sub-scene corresponding to different space slices in response to the user's switching operation on the space slice.

[0207] In this way, the smart home device control panel responds to the user's switching operation on the space slice, switching to display the sub-scene preview interface corresponding to different space slices, which can facilitate the user to view the delay scene setting effect and improve the user's efficiency in setting the delay scene.

[0208] In some embodiments, during the delay scene setting process, the user may need to adjust the execution order between different spatial slices. Fig.10 As shown in the interface 1000a in (a), the time-lapse scene editor displays three created space slices, space slice 1 as shown by reference numeral 101, space slice 2 as shown by reference numeral 102, and space slice 3 as shown by reference numeral 103. The smart home device control panel detects the user's drag operation on space slice 3 as shown by reference numeral 103, and determines the execution order of the user's instruction to transform space slice 3. Fig.10 As shown in the interface 1000b in (b), the smart home device control panel detects the user's operation of moving space slice 3 between space slice 1 and space slice 2, and determines that the user instructs to adjust the execution order of space slice 2 and space slice 3. Then, in response to the user's operation, the smart home device control panel adjusts space slice 3 shown by reference numeral 103 to between space slice 2 shown by reference numeral 102 and space slice 1 shown by reference numeral 101. Fig.10 The interface 1000c shown in (c) shows three spatial slices after the execution order is adjusted.

[0209] Optionally, the spatial slice is displayed with an execution order identifier of the spatial slice, so that the user can confirm the execution order of the spatial slice. After the execution order of the spatial slice is changed, the smart home device control panel also correspondingly modifies the original execution order identifier of the spatial slice displayed on the spatial slice to the new execution order identifier.

[0210] It should be understood that the user's operation of changing the execution order of the spatial slices may be an operation of long pressing the spatial slice and then moving the spatial slice, or an operation of directly dragging the spatial slice, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0211] In this way, the smart home device control panel can adjust the execution order of spatial slices in response to user operations, making it more convenient and flexible for users to set time-delay scene tasks.

[0212] In some embodiments, during the time-delay scene editing process, the user may need to view the execution effect of the time-delay scene. Then, the smart home device may provide a time-delay scene preview portal to show the execution effect of the time-delay scene to the user.

[0213] For example, the smart home device control panel provides a playback control, which is used to play the execution effects of multiple sub-scenes included in the time-delay scene.

[0214] For example, Fig.11 As shown in the middle interface 1100, the time-delay scene editor of the smart home device control panel displays 3 created space slices, and the time interval between each space slice is 1 second. After the smart home device control panel detects the user's operation on the play control 1101, the sub-scene 1 preview interface corresponding to the space slice 1 is displayed on the scene setting interface. After an interval of 1 second, the sub-scene 2 preview interface corresponding to the space slice 2 shown in the reference numeral 1102 is displayed on the scene setting interface. After another interval of 1 second, the sub-scene 3 preview interface corresponding to the space slice 3 shown in the reference numeral 1103 is displayed on the scene setting interface.

[0215] Optionally, during the switching of the playback space slice, the scene setting interface may display the dynamic effect of the device state change of the smart home device. For example, in the areas indicated by reference numerals 1105 and 1106, the device icons in the scene may present the device state change by changing the position or display state.

[0216] In some embodiments, the effects of some smart home devices executing tasks cannot be presented through the dynamic effects of the device icons in the scene setting interface. For example, the execution effects of the opening and closing degree of electric curtains, light brightness, air conditioning temperature, etc. cannot be presented through dynamic effects. Therefore, in response to the user's operation of the playback control, the smart home device control panel can control the smart home devices in the physical space to perform corresponding tasks as the space slices are played, so that users can accurately, comprehensively and intuitively preview the execution effects of multiple space slices.

[0217] In this way, the smart home device control panel can play the scene corresponding to the spatial slice for the user and / or enable the device to execute the time-delay scene in real time in the physical space by responding to the user's instructions to preview the time-delay scene, so that the user can preview the time-delay scene setting effect in real time, which greatly improves the visualization and setting efficiency of the user's creation of time-delay scenes.

[0218] In some scenarios, multiple space slices need to be executed in a loop, such as in a light show scenario, the user needs the lighting device to present a looping on or off effect, etc. In some embodiments, the smart home device control panel can create a looping time-delay scene for the smart home devices in the space in response to user operations. Optionally, in the looping time-delay scene, the smart home device control panel loops and executes multiple sub-scenes in the order of the sub-scenes in the time-delay scene.

[0219] For example, in a light show scene, the main light, auxiliary light, and atmosphere light need to light up in a cycle to achieve a light show effect. In response to user operations, the smart home device control panel sets the tasks of turning on and off the main light, auxiliary light, and atmosphere light in space slice 1, space slice 2, and space slice 3, respectively. Fig.12 As shown, the smart home device control panel sets multiple space slice loop switching in response to the user's operation on the loop control 1201. Optionally, the multiple space slice loop switching means that after the smart home device control panel completes the execution of multiple space slices according to the arrangement order of the space slices, it completes the execution of multiple space slices again according to the arrangement order of the space slices.

[0220] Optionally, during the process of cyclically switching between multiple space slices, a scene preview interface corresponding to the cyclically switched space slices is displayed on the control panel of the smart home device.

[0221] Optionally, during the cyclic switching of multiple space slices, the smart home device control panel can instruct the devices in the physical space corresponding to the cyclically switched space slices to perform corresponding tasks. Thus, the user can intuitively determine whether the cyclic delay scenario meets the requirements based on the effect of the smart home devices in the actual physical space performing the tasks.

[0222] In some scenarios, users need to set the cycle interval for the cycle scene. For example, the smart home device control panel provides Fig.12 The loop interval control shown in the interface 120a in (a) is shown as 1201. The loop interval control can display Fig.12(b) The current cycle interval time shown by reference numeral 1202 in the interface 120b, for example, the current cycle interval is 3s. The smart home device control panel detects the user's operation on the cycle interval control and can display a cycle interval setting window. The smart home device control panel sets the cycle interval in response to the user's operation in the cycle interval setting window. Fig.12 As shown in the reference numeral 1203 in the interface 120c in (c), the smart home device control panel sets the loop interval to 7 seconds in response to the user operation. That is, after the smart home device control panel instructs the three space slices to be executed in sequence, the three space slices are executed in sequence again after 7 seconds, and the space slices are executed in a loop.

[0223] Optionally, the initial value of the cycle interval of the cycle interval control may be automatically set by the system, or may be determined in response to a user operation, and this embodiment of the present application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0224] Optionally, in response to the user's operation on the cycle interval control, the smart home device control panel displays the current cycle interval value in an editable state, for receiving the user's setting of the cycle interval. Alternatively, in response to the user's operation, the smart home device control panel displays a cycle interval setting window, for receiving the user's setting of the cycle interval. The smart home device control panel can also set an icon (such as Fig.12 (c) as shown by reference numeral 1203), is used to display a cycle interval setting window in response to a user operation.

[0225] Optionally, during the creation of the cyclic delay scene, the smart home device control panel can also respond to user operations to set the number of cycles, total cycle time, etc. of the cyclic delay scene, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, during the execution of the cyclic delay scene, the smart home device control panel executes multiple spatial slices in sequence according to the number of cycles and the cycle indication.

[0226] In this way, the smart home device control panel provides a loop scene setting function, allowing users to create a loop time-lapse scene for the space with just simple operations.

[0227] In some scenarios, you may need to create a time-delay scenario across spaces based on user needs. For example, when a user returns home at night, they first enter the living room and then the bedroom. When creating a time-delay scenario for a user returning home at night, you need to add scenario tasks for both the devices in the living room and the devices in the bedroom.

[0228] In some embodiments, the smart home device control panel creates a time-delay scenario across spaces in response to a user operation. For example, when the smart home device control panel is creating a time-delay scenario corresponding to space slice 1, it detects an operation in which a user indicates to add smart home devices in other spaces, and it may be determined that the user indicates to create a time-delay scenario across spaces.

[0229] Exemplarily, the smart home device control panel switches the displayed space in response to the user's operation. Fig.13 In the interface 130a shown in (a), the smart home device control panel displays the device icons of the smart home devices in the living room space. The smart home device control panel detects the user's sliding operation on the interface 130a (such as sliding to the left or sliding to the right), and determines that the user indicates to switch spaces. In some examples, the smart home device control panel is pre-configured with a sequence of different spaces. Then, in response to the sliding direction of the user's sliding operation, the smart home device control panel can determine the space that the user indicates to switch. Fig.13 As shown in the interface 130b in (b), the smart home device control panel detects that the space to be switched by the user's sliding operation is the bedroom space. The smart home device control panel can display the space switching animation shown in the interface 130b. Fig.13 In the interface 130c shown in (c), the smart home device control panel switches the display space, creates and displays the corresponding space slice after switching the space, such as the space slice of the bedroom shown by reference numeral 131.

[0230] Among them, Fig.13 As shown in (b), in order to facilitate the description of the sliding effect on the interface 130b, some content is drawn in the area outside the display screen. It should be understood that in the actual use of the smart home device control panel, this part of the drawn content will no longer be displayed in the area outside the display screen.

[0231] In some embodiments, after switching the displayed space, the smart home device control panel can generate a space slice corresponding to the switched space according to the device status of the space currently switched to. Or display a blank space slice corresponding to the switched space. Afterwards, the smart home device control panel can set a delayed scene task or a scene task without delay for the smart home device in the space corresponding to the space slice in response to the user operation. Among them, the space slices of different spaces are cross-space slices.

[0232] In this way, the smart home device control panel can respond to user operations and create cross-space delay scenarios to meet the user's needs for delay scene settings for smart home devices in different spaces.

[0233] In some embodiments, the smart home device control panel can also add effective conditions for the cross-space delay sub-scene according to user operations. For example, when a user returns home at night, he or she generally enters the bedroom 30 seconds after entering the living room. Then, in the cross-space delay scene when the user returns home at night, the sub-scene corresponding to the bedroom can be triggered 30 seconds after one or more sub-scenes corresponding to the living room are triggered, such as turning on the bedroom light for the user 30 seconds after the user enters the living room door.

[0234] In some examples, the smart home device control panel responds to user operations and adds the validity conditions of the space slice in the time capsule control. For example, Fig.14 As shown in the 1400 interface, the smart home device control panel responds to the user's operation on the time capsule control and determines that the two spatial slices corresponding to the current time capsule are spatial slices corresponding to different spaces. Then the smart home device control panel can display a pop-up window for adding effective conditions. In the pop-up window showing the added effective conditions, the effective conditions that can be set include delayed execution, effective time, device status change, weather conditions, etc., and the effective conditions can also be customized by the user. In some examples, the effective condition options for spatial slices corresponding to the same space are the same or different from the effective condition options for spatial slices corresponding to different spaces.

[0235] Optionally, the effectiveness conditions in cross-space slices may be preset conditions or may be set by the smart home device control panel in response to user operations, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0236] In some embodiments, the time-delay scene composed of multiple sub-scenes needs to be executed under specific conditions. For example, if the user gets up at a fixed time every day, then the morning time-delay scene composed of the curtain opening, gauze curtain opening, music opening and other sub-scenes of the morning time-delay scene needs to be automatically executed at a specific time. Therefore, the smart home device control panel can set the scene effectiveness conditions for the time-delay scene (or cross-space time-delay scene).

[0237] For example, Fig.15 As shown in the middle interface 1500, the smart home device control panel provides a timing control. The smart home device control panel detects the user's operation on the timing control 151, determines that the user needs to set the timing effectiveness condition of the scene, and can display a timing window to receive the time-delay scene timing effectiveness condition input by the user. Optionally, the control shown in the figure mark 151 can also be other effectiveness condition controls, such as temperature conditions and weather conditions. Optionally, the timing control shown in the figure mark 151 can also be other text display methods, such as scene effectiveness conditions. Optionally, the smart home device control panel can also add multiple scene effectiveness conditions in response to user operations, such as temperature conditions, weather conditions, etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0238] In this way, the smart home device control panel responds to user operations and adds scene effectiveness conditions to the scene, making the scene more intelligent and automated, which can improve the user's quality of life.

[0239] In some scenarios, the space slices displayed when editing the time-lapse scene occupy a large part of the display space on the smart home device control panel. In some cases, the user does not need to view or edit the space slices on the smart home device control panel. The smart home device control panel can determine whether to display the space slices based on the user operation. The smart home device control panel expands or hides the space slices in response to the user operation.

[0240] Some examples include Fig.16 As shown in the interface 160a in (a), after the smart home device control panel detects the user's operation of creating a scene, it displays the scene setting interface corresponding to the current space. Afterwards, if the smart home device control panel detects the user's selection operation of the slide control shown by reference numeral 161, it is determined that the user instructs to display the time-delay scene editor. Fig.16 As shown in the interface 160b in (b), the smart home device control panel displays the time-delay scene editor in response to the user operation. The smart home device control panel detects that the user clicks the slide control again and determines that the user indicates not to display the time-delay scene editor. Fig.16 As shown in interface 160c in (c), the smart home device control panel hides the display of the time-delay scene editor in response to the user operation.

[0241] In this way, the smart home device control panel can respond to user operations and flexibly display or hide the space slice setting interface according to user needs, thereby improving the convenience of users setting scenes using the smart home device control panel.

[0242] In some scenarios, users need to save the created scenes. Fig.17 As shown in the middle interface 1700, the smart home device control panel detects the user's operation on the scene generation control shown in the figure mark 171, and determines that the current user has completed the setting operation of the time-delay scene. Then, the smart home device control panel can generate and save the time-delay scene created by the user according to the setting information of the current sub-scenes.

[0243] Optionally, after the delay scenario is generated, it can be uploaded to a server or saved locally on the smart home device control panel.

[0244] In some scenarios, users need to call out existing scenes on the smart home device control panel for viewing, editing, etc. For example, Fig.17As shown in the middle interface 1700, the smart home device control panel responds to the user's operation on the import scene control 172 and determines that the user instructs to import the scene. Then the smart home device control panel can display the scene import interface. Optionally, the importable scene displayed on the scene import interface is a scene downloaded from the server by the smart home device control panel, or a scene locally saved by the smart home device control panel. Afterwards, the smart home device control panel displays the editing interface of the scene selected by the user for import according to the user's operation on the scene import interface, and receives the user's editing operation on the scene.

[0245] Fig.18 The following is a flow chart of a scene setting method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.18 The specific order below is for limitation, and it should be understood that in other embodiments, the order of some steps in the method can be interchanged according to actual needs, or some steps can be omitted or deleted. The method includes the following steps S1801-S1803:

[0246] S1801: The control device displays a first interface in response to a first operation of a user to create a scene, displays a created first spatial slice in a first area of ​​the first interface, and displays first information corresponding to a first sub-scene of the first spatial slice in a second area of ​​the first interface.

[0247] The first interface is a scene creation interface corresponding to the current space, and the current space includes, for example, a room where the control device is located. The first space slice is an initial space slice. The first target device is a smart home device corresponding to the first space slice. The first information is used to indicate a first task of the first target device included in the first sub-scene, for example, the first information includes device status information of the first target device corresponding to the first space slice.

[0248] Exemplarily, the control device displays a scene creation interface corresponding to the current space in response to a first operation of the user to create a scene. In some examples, the scene creation interface includes a first space slice, and a sub-scene setting interface corresponding to the first space slice, the sub-scene setting interface being used to display device status information of a first target device corresponding to the first space slice.

[0249] In some embodiments, the control device determines the device status of the controlled device in the current space in response to the user's first operation of creating a scene, and the controlled device includes a first target device; the control device creates a first spatial slice and generates first information of a first sub-scene corresponding to the first spatial slice based on the device status.

[0250] Exemplarily, the control device responds to the user operation, starts the smart life application, and displays the following Figure 5In (a), the smart life application interface shown in the interface 50a. In response to the user's operation on the scene generation control 50 displayed on the smart life application interface, the control device determines that the user's current space is the living room, and then the control device can obtain the device status of the target device in the living room. Figure 5 As shown in figure mark 52 in (b), the control device creates a first spatial slice (as shown in figure mark 52) and a first sub-scene (as shown in figure mark 53 and figure mark 54) in response to the user's operation of creating a scene according to the device status of the first target device in the living room. The first sub-scene includes first information of the first target device in the current space, and the first information is the device status information of the first target device.

[0251] In some examples, the device state of the controlled device in the space may be the device state in the scene that the user wants to create. Therefore, the control device creates an initial space slice (i.e., the first space slice) based on the device state of the controlled device in the current space, which can effectively simplify the setting process of the first sub-scene corresponding to the initial space slice, and make the first information of the first sub-scene meet the actual usage needs of the user.

[0252] In this way, the user can intuitively set and confirm the device status and device tasks of the controlled devices in each sub-scene, thereby simplifying the user's delay scene setting operation and lowering the delay scene setting threshold.

[0253] S1802: Control the device to display a second spatial slice sorted after the first spatial slice on the first area in response to a second operation of the user, and switch to display second information of a second subscene corresponding to the second spatial slice on the second area.

[0254] The second information is used to indicate a second task of a second target device included in the second sub-scenario.

[0255] In some embodiments, the second operation is an operation of creating a space slice by a user. In response to the second operation of creating a space slice by a user, the control device adds a new space slice and creates a sub-scene corresponding to the new space slice.

[0256] In some embodiments, the control device generates a second spatial slice by copying the first spatial slice in response to a user's operation of creating a spatial slice, and displays the copied first information on the second area. The control device generates second information corresponding to a second sub-scene of the second spatial slice in response to a user's operation on the first information.

[0257] For example, Figure 5 In the interface 50c shown in (c), the control device responds to the user's operation of creating a space slice, and generates a copy based on the space slice 52 (the first space slice) as shown in FIG. Figure 5The spatial slice 2 (second spatial slice) is shown as the reference numeral 56 in (c). Figure 5 As shown in (c), the control device displays the subscene setting interface of subscene 2 corresponding to spatial slice 2 (second spatial slice) on interface 50c. The setting information of subscene 2 displayed on the subscene setting interface of the current subscene 2 is the same as the setting information of subscene 1 corresponding to spatial slice 1 (first spatial slice) that the user has already set. The user can modify the setting information of subscene 2 according to actual needs. Figure 6 As shown in the interface 60a in (a), the control device detects that the user drags the main light icon 65 to the device startup area shown by the reference numeral 66 in the sub-scene setting interface along the arrow direction shown by the reference numeral 64, and can determine that the user instructs to add the startup task of the main light corresponding to the main light icon 65 in the sub-scene 2. The control device responds to the user's dragging operation, such as Figure 6 As shown in the interface 60b of (b), the main light icon 65 is displayed in the device startup area as shown by the reference numeral 66, and the main light icon 65 is no longer displayed outside the device startup area as shown by the reference numeral 67.

[0258] In this way, in response to the user's repeated operation of adding a spatial slice, the control device can copy and edit the information of the sub-scene corresponding to the already set spatial slice in the second area. The sub-scene corresponding to the next spatial slice with a time interval is set, and a delay scene task is added to the target device in the space corresponding to the spatial slice. The user operation steps can be simplified and the efficiency of the user setting the delay scene can be improved.

[0259] In some embodiments, the second target device includes a device whose device state or operating parameter is to be switched in the first target device, and / or a newly added device to be controlled.

[0260] For example, Figure 7 As shown in the figure mark 72 and the figure mark 73 in (b), the newly added devices to be controlled in the second target device are the auxiliary light, the main light, the gauze curtain, and the cloth curtain. The control device instructs the four target devices of the auxiliary light, the main light, the gauze curtain, and the cloth curtain to perform the opening task, without instructing the washing machine, the humidifier, and the dryer in the area shown by the figure mark 71 to change the device state.

[0261] It should be understood that the above example uses device startup to illustrate the increment of device status. In the embodiment of the present application, the change (increment or decrement) of the device status includes not only device startup, but also device shutdown, change of device operating parameters, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0262] In this way, the control device responds to user operations by only adding tasks for devices in the target device that need to switch device status or working parameters in the sub-scene corresponding to the spatial slice, and / or adding new devices to be controlled, which simplifies the user operation steps and reduces the difficulty of setting delay scenarios.

[0263] In some embodiments, the first target device and the second target device are devices in the same space, or the first target device and the second target device are devices in different spaces.

[0264] The embodiments of the present application can set a delay scene for a target device in a single space, and can also set a delay scene for a target device across spaces. For example, the light show scene in the living room space requires turning on the main light in sub-scene 1 and turning on the auxiliary light in sub-scene 2. The first target device corresponding to sub-scene 1 is the main light, and the second target device corresponding to sub-scene 2 is the auxiliary light. In the scenario of returning home at night, the user's activity space spans the living room and bedroom. The main light in the living room needs to be turned on for the user in sub-scene 1, and the main light in the bedroom needs to be turned on for the user in sub-scene 2. Then in the scenario of returning home at night, the first target device is the main light in the living room, and the second target device is the main light in the bedroom.

[0265] In this way, the control device can respond to user operations and add delay scene tasks for devices in different spaces, so that devices in different spaces can be linked to form cross-space delay scenes, thereby improving the intelligence of the smart home system and the quality of life of users.

[0266] S1803: The control device generates a first target scene in response to a third operation of the user, where the first target scene includes a first sub-scene and a second sub-scene, and the first target scene includes an instruction to trigger the second target device to perform the second task after a first time interval that triggers the first target device to perform the first task.

[0267] In some embodiments, the control device detects the user's operation of determining to generate a scene and determines that the current user has completed the setting operation of the time-delay scene. Then, the control device can generate and save the first target scene created by the user based on the currently set first sub-scene, second sub-scene, and first time interval.

[0268] In this way, the control device creates a spatial slice and multiple sub-scenes corresponding to the spatial slice in response to the user operation, and completes the creation of a time-delay scene including multiple sub-scenes, thereby simplifying the operation steps of the user to set the time-delay scene and improving the efficiency of creating the time-delay scene.

[0269] In some embodiments, the first time interval is a default time interval, or the first time interval is a first time interval between the first space slice and the second space slice set in response to a fourth operation of the user.

[0270] In some examples, the control device sets a first time interval between the first spatial slice and the second spatial slice in response to a fourth operation of the user; the fourth operation is an operation of the user setting the first time interval between the first spatial slice and the second spatial slice on the control device. In some embodiments, a time capsule control (such as Figure 8 In (a), the control device sets a first time interval between space slice 1 (first space slice) and space slice 2 (second space slice) in response to a user's operation on the time capsule control.

[0271] In this way, the control device sets the time delay scene task for the device in the sub-scene corresponding to the spatial slice by determining the time interval between the spatial slices in response to the user operation, which can simplify the user operation steps and improve the efficiency of the user in setting the time delay scene task.

[0272] In some embodiments, the control device sets an effectiveness condition for the first sub-scene or the second sub-scene in response to an eighth operation of the user, and the effectiveness condition includes one or more of an effectiveness time, a device state change, a weather condition, and a time interval.

[0273] In some examples, by adding an effective condition to the trigger of the delay scene or a sub-scene in the delay scene, the delay scene is automatically executed to meet the actual usage needs of the user. In some examples, the eighth operation is an operation in which the user sets an effective condition for the first spatial slice or the second spatial slice. Exemplarily, the control device displays a preset control between adjacent spatial slices. In response to the user's operation on the preset control, the control device may set the effective condition of the spatial slice that is sorted later in the adjacent spatial slices.

[0274] In this way, the control device responds to user operations and sets the effectiveness conditions for the spatial slices and the sub-scenes corresponding to the spatial slices, which can make the set delay scenes more humane, more intelligent, and closer to the user's life needs, further improving the user's quality of life.

[0275] In some embodiments, in response to a sixth operation of the user selecting the first spatial slice in the first area, the control device highlights the spatial slice in the first area in a preset manner, and switches to display the first information of the first sub-scene in the second area.

[0276] For example, in response to the user's selection operation on a certain spatial slice, the control device may highlight the spatial slice and switch to display the sub-scene setting information corresponding to the spatial slice on the scene setting interface. Fig. 9As shown in (a), the control device displays the sub-scene setting information corresponding to space slice 3 on the scene setting interface, and the control device can highlight space slice 3 (the second space slice). Afterwards, the control device detects that the user clicks on space slice 2 (the first space slice) and can display the following Fig. 9 Interface 90b shown in (b) In interface 90b, the control device may highlight spatial slice 2 (the first spatial slice) and cancel the highlighting of spatial slice 3 (the second spatial slice).

[0277] In this way, the control device responds to the user's switching operation on the spatial slice, highlights the selected spatial slice, and switches to display the sub-scene preview interface corresponding to the selected spatial slice, which can facilitate the user to view the effect of the delay scene setting and improve the user's efficiency in setting the delay scene.

[0278] In some embodiments, the control device modifies the first target scene and generates a second target scene in response to a fifth operation of the user adjusting the arrangement order of the first spatial slice and the second spatial slice displayed in the first display area, and the second target scene includes an indication that the first target device is triggered to perform a fourth task after a first time interval that triggers the second target device to perform a third task.

[0279] In some embodiments, the third task may be the same as or different from the second task, and the fourth task may be the same as or different from the first task.

[0280] For example, Fig.10 In the scenario shown, the first task is different from the third task, and the fourth task is different from the first task. Fig.10 (a) shows the first target scene, where the arrangement order of space slice 3 shown by reference numeral 103 is after space slice 2. After the first target scene instructs the washing machine, humidifier, and dryer to perform the opening task (first task), after 10 minutes, the auxiliary light, main light, curtain, and gauze curtain perform the opening task (second task). The control device detects the user's drag operation on space slice 3 (second space slice) and determines the execution order of the user's instruction to change space slice 3 (second space slice). Fig.10 As shown in (b), the control device detects the user's operation of moving space slice 3 (second space slice) to the front of space slice 2 (first space slice), and determines that the user instructs to adjust the execution order of space slice 2 (first space slice) and space slice 3 (second space slice). Then, in response to the user's operation, the control device adjusts space slice 3 (second space slice) shown by reference numeral 103 to the front of space slice 2 (first space slice) shown by reference numeral 102, and generates a second target scene. Fig.10The interface shown in (c) shows the second target scene after the execution order is adjusted. The second target scene instructs the washing machine, humidifier, dryer, auxiliary light, main light, cloth curtain, and gauze curtain to perform the opening task (third task) and then instructs the auxiliary light, main light, cloth curtain, and gauze curtain to perform the closing task (fourth task) 10 minutes later.

[0281] In some other examples, the third task may be the same as the second task, and the fourth task may be the same as the first task. For example, the first task in the first target scene is a task of turning on the main light, and the second task is a task of turning on the auxiliary light. In response to the user's operation of adjusting the arrangement order of the spatial slices, the control device generates a second target scene in which the third task is a task of turning on the auxiliary light, and the fourth task is a task of turning on the main light.

[0282] In this way, the control device can adjust the execution order of the spatial slices in response to the user operation, thereby easily modifying the order in which the target device executes the time-delay scenario tasks, making the user's operation of setting the time-delay scenario tasks more flexible and simple.

[0283] In some embodiments, the control device sets the loop parameters of the first target scene in response to the seventh operation of the user, and the loop parameters include one or more of the following: number of loops, loop duration, and loop time interval.

[0284] In some scenes, such as light show scenes, the device needs to execute the delayed scene task in a loop. The control device sets the first target scene as a loop scene in response to the user operation. The seventh operation is an operation in which the user sets the loop parameters of the first target scene. Among them, the number of loops is used to indicate the number of executions of the delayed scene. For example, after determining that the delay scene trigger condition is met, the control device sequentially triggers the target devices included in the multiple sub-scenes to perform corresponding tasks according to the triggering order of the multiple sub-scenes included in the delay scene. After that, the control device repeats the above delay scene implementation process according to the number of loops. The loop time interval is used to indicate the time interval of the delay scene loop. For example, the control device instructs the target device to execute the delay scene according to the sub-scene sequence corresponding to the spatial slice, and then after the loop time interval, the control device instructs the target device to execute the delay scene according to the sub-scene sequence corresponding to the spatial slice. The loop duration refers to the total duration of the control device controlling the target device to execute the task according to the delay scene. For example, the light show delay scene is a loop delay scene. After the control device controls the lighting device to execute the task for a loop duration, it stops controlling the lighting device in the light show scene to execute the task.

[0285] In this way, the control device responds to the user's operation, sets the loop parameters, and can add a loop delay task for the target device. This reduces the operation steps for the user to set the loop delay scene, and reduces the difficulty for the user to set the loop delay scene for the target device. For example, for some loop delay scenes such as light shows that require the target device to repeatedly perform the same task, the user only needs to set the execution task and loop parameters of the target device once to complete the setting of the entire loop delay scene.

[0286] In some embodiments, the control device displays a second interface in response to a ninth operation of the user, where the second interface is used to play the execution effect of the first target scene. The execution effect includes switching between displaying the first spatial slice and the second spatial slice in the first area, and switching between displaying the first information corresponding to the first spatial slice and the second information corresponding to the second spatial slice in the second area.

[0287] For example, Fig.11 As shown in the middle interface 1100, the first area of ​​the control device (as shown in the reference numeral 1104) displays three created spatial slices, and the time interval between each spatial slice is 1s. After the control device detects the user's operation on the playback control 1101, the sub-scene 1 preview interface corresponding to the spatial slice 1 is displayed on the scene setting interface. After an interval of 1s, the sub-scene 2 preview interface corresponding to the spatial slice 2 is displayed on the scene setting interface. After another interval of 1s, the sub-scene 3 preview interface corresponding to the spatial slice 3 is displayed on the scene setting interface. During the playback of the spatial slices, the second area (as shown in the reference numeral 1107) can display the dynamic effect of the device status change of the target device. For example, in the areas shown in reference numerals 1105 and 1106, the device icons in the sub-scenes will present the changes in the device status through changes in position or display status.

[0288] In this way, the control device can play the sub-scene corresponding to the spatial slice for the user by responding to the user's instruction to preview the time-lapse scene, making it convenient for the user to preview the time-lapse scene setting effect in real time, greatly improving the user's setting efficiency in creating time-lapse scenes.

[0289] In some embodiments, the control device sends a first command instructing execution of a first task to the first target device, and sends a second command instructing execution of a second task to the second target device during the process of playing the execution effect of the first target scene.

[0290] In some embodiments, the effects of some target devices executing tasks cannot be presented through the dynamic effects of the device icons in the scene setting interface. For example, the execution effects of the opening and closing degree of electric curtains, light brightness, air conditioning temperature, etc. cannot be presented through dynamic effects. Therefore, in response to the user's operation of the playback control, the control device can control the target device in the physical space to perform the corresponding task as the space slice is played, so that the user can accurately, comprehensively and intuitively preview the execution effects of multiple space slices.

[0291] In this way, the control device responds to the user's instructions to preview the time-delay scene, allowing the device to execute the time-delay scene in real time in the physical space, greatly improving the visualization and setting efficiency when the user creates the time-delay scene.

[0292] In some embodiments, the control device responds to the user's tenth operation by displaying a third spatial slice sorted after the second spatial slice on the first area, and switching to display third information of a third sub-scene corresponding to the third spatial slice on the second area, where the third information is used to indicate a fifth task of a third target device included in the third sub-scene; the first target scene also includes an indication of triggering the third target device to perform the fifth task at a second time interval after triggering the second target device to perform the second task, and the second time interval is a default time interval.

[0293] In some scenarios, multiple devices need to perform tasks at different times. For example, in the waking up scenario, you need to turn on the music and curtains first, then open the gauze curtains after 10 minutes, and turn off the devices in all rooms after 20 minutes. Then the target scene needs to have more than two spatial slices to complete the setting of sub-scenes and tasks. In response to the user's tenth operation, the control device continues to add spatial slices based on the first spatial slice and the second spatial slice. The time interval between the newly added third spatial slice and the second spatial slice is initially the default time interval, and the corresponding time interval can be set later in response to the user operation.

[0294] In this way, the control device can create multiple spatial slices in response to user operations and set multiple continuous scene tasks with different time intervals for the target device, which simplifies user operations and improves the efficiency of delay scene setting.
