Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart home technology, and in particular to a processing method, apparatus, and device based on smart home equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technology, smart home systems have become an indispensable part of modern family life. By integrating various intelligent devices, such as smart light bulbs, smart sockets, smart door locks, and temperature control systems, they enable automated control, remote monitoring, and personalized services for the home environment.

[0003] In existing technologies, smart home interaction solutions cache the real-time status data of smart home devices on a cloud server. Instead of relying on real-time client queries for status feedback, smart home devices proactively report their current status to the cloud server for caching at regular intervals. When a smart home client needs to query the device status, it can directly access the cached information on the cloud server to obtain the latest status information of the smart home device, without needing to communicate directly with the device in real time.

[0004] However, when using this approach, the cloud server relies too heavily on the reports from smart home devices for caching. As the number of smart home devices continues to increase, the cloud server will encounter pressure bottlenecks, resulting in problems such as backlog of device reports, untimely status queries, and even service crashes. Summary of the Invention

[0038] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a step flowchart of a processing method based on smart home devices provided by some embodiments of the present invention, applied to a local host device, which is connected to multiple smart home devices in a local environment.

[0040] The local host device can be the control center of the smart home system, responsible for managing and controlling smart home devices connected to the local network. For example, the local host device can be a smart central control screen, a smart speaker, etc.

[0041] As examples, users can network with other smart home devices in their home through a local host device in the smart home system, and users can interact with other smart home devices in the smart home system through the local host device; the functions of the local host device may include, but are not limited to, controlling the device's on / off state, adjusting settings, and viewing the device status.

[0042] Networking refers to the process by which various smart home devices (such as air purifiers, smart light bulbs, smart sockets, etc.) within a home can form a local network through Bluetooth networking, local area networks (such as Wi-Fi), or other wireless communication technologies. This network allows communication and data exchange between devices.

[0043] In this local network, each smart home device can periodically (at a preset frequency) send its current status information to the local host device. After receiving the status information sent by the smart device, the local host device can store this information locally or in the cloud, and provide it to other devices with screens as needed. Devices with screens can access the local host device to obtain real-time status information of various smart home devices in the home.

[0044] Specifically, it may include the following steps:

[0045] Step 101: When a change in the state of the smart home device is detected, real-time status information is obtained.

[0046] Smart home devices can be those that can connect to the internet, be remotely controlled via smartphone apps, voice commands, or other means, and can perform tasks automatically. These devices can include, but are not limited to, smart lights, smart air conditioners, smart door locks, smart thermostats, and smart speakers.

[0047] A change in the status of a smart home device can refer to a change in its working state, location, settings, or other related attributes. For example, a smart light might change from being off to being on, or a smart thermostat might adjust the indoor temperature from 22°C to 24°C.

[0048] In practical applications, when the state of a smart home device changes, it can query its own state information as real-time status information and categorize the real-time status information.

[0049] For example, when a user uses a device with a screen in their home, such as a refrigerator with a screen, the device can obtain the status information of other devices from the local host device via a local area network for display. For instance, a refrigerator with a screen can display the on / off status of an air purifier (whether it is running), its operating mode (such as automatic, manual, sleep, etc.), and real-time data such as the PM2.5 index in the home obtained through the air purifier's sensors.

[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, before obtaining real-time status information when the status of the smart home device changes, the method further includes: establishing a local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the local host device, and establishing a cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the cloud server.

[0051] Among them, cloud servers refer to servers located on the Internet, which are used to store and manage the status information and configuration of smart home devices. Through cloud servers, users can access and control their smart home devices from anywhere via the Internet.

[0052] After the local host device in the smart home system is networked with other smart home devices in the home, local shadow devices corresponding to the smart home devices can be established on the cloud server and the local host device respectively. The shadow device can refer to the virtual entity corresponding to the smart home device, which is used to store the device's status information, etc. For example, it can be implemented through JSON (JavaScript Object Notation, a lightweight data exchange format) or other storage methods.

[0053] Step 102: Determine whether the real-time status information is a specified type of status information.

[0054] In this embodiment of the invention, the specified type of status information is the device's own status information, and the non-specified type of status information is environmental status information.

[0055] In this embodiment of the invention, the device's own status information includes any one of the following: device power on / off status information, device working mode information; the environmental status information includes any one of the following: ambient temperature information, ambient humidity information.

[0056] The device power-on / off status information refers to whether the device is currently powered on or powered off. For example, a television is playing a program (power-on) or is completely off (power-off).

[0057] Device operating mode information refers to the current operating mode or configuration of the device. Different devices can have different operating modes. For example, when the smart home device is a smart air conditioner, the device operating mode information can be air supply mode, cooling mode, heating mode, etc.

[0058] Ambient temperature information refers to the temperature of the environment in which the device is located. For example, when a smart home device is a smart air conditioner, it has a built-in temperature sensor to monitor the indoor temperature in order to adjust the operation of the air conditioner or heater. The real-time temperature obtained by the temperature sensor in the device can be used as the ambient temperature information.

[0059] Ambient humidity information refers to the humidity of the environment in which the device is located. For example, when a smart home device is a smart humidifier, it has a built-in humidity sensor to monitor indoor humidity in order to adjust the operation of the smart humidifier. The real-time humidity obtained by the humidity sensor in the device can be used as ambient humidity information.

[0060] After obtaining its own real-time status information, smart home devices can determine whether the real-time status information is of a specified type or not, in order to confirm whether to send the status information to the local shadow device and / or the cloud shadow device.

[0061] Step 103: If the real-time status information is a non-specified type of status information, update the real-time status information to the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the local host device.

[0062] In practical applications, if the acquired real-time status information is of a non-specified type, this status information can be updated on the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the local host device to keep the status of the local shadow device synchronized with that of the actual smart home device. Even if this information is not needed immediately, it may be used at some later time, or used to analyze the device's behavior patterns, etc.

[0063] In this embodiment of the invention, the method further includes: if the real-time status information is status information of a specified type, updating the real-time status information to the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the local host device, and updating the real-time status information to the cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the cloud server.

[0064] In practical applications, if the acquired real-time status information belongs to a specified type of status information, the system will perform the following two steps:

[0065] First, this status information is updated on the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the local host device to keep the status of the local shadow device synchronized with the actual smart home device, so that it can be quickly accessed when needed or decisions can be made based on the latest status even without a network connection.

[0066] Secondly, this status information is also updated to the cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the cloud server, so as to ensure that no matter where the user is, they can access the latest status information of the smart home device through the Internet and perform corresponding control or response.

[0067] Step 104: In response to the cloud service trigger event, update the non-specified type status information in the local shadow device to the cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the cloud server, so as to respond to the cloud service trigger event according to the status information of the cloud shadow device.

[0068] In this embodiment of the invention, the cloud service triggering event includes any one or more of the following: viewing or controlling the status of the smart home device through a client, and viewing or controlling the status of the smart home device through voice commands.

[0069] As examples, since users need data from cloud servers when using the client or voice control, this can be used as a cloud service to trigger events.

[0070] In practical applications, users can view or control the status of smart home devices through the client application; for example, users can use smartphone apps, web interfaces, or other types of client software to view the current status of smart home devices or send control commands. Users can also view or control the status of smart home devices through voice commands in the client application; for example, users can use the voice input in the client application to query the current status of smart home devices or send control commands.

[0071] In some examples, when a user accesses the smart home control page using a smart home client (for interface operations, voice control, etc.), the local host device can be notified to proactively report non-specified status information from the local shadow device at a certain frequency (e.g., once every 30 seconds, until the user exits the smart home control page) by calling an interface or message queue. This allows for targeted reporting, shortens message content, reduces cloud server processing time, and enables rapid updates to the cloud shadow device status.

[0072] As examples, when a user wakes up the local host device using the voice input of the local host device, such as through the voice input of the smart control screen, the smart control screen synchronizes the non-specified type status information of the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the home to the cloud shadow device at a certain frequency (such as at 30-second intervals, continuously reporting for 3 minutes) via the local area network.

[0073] For example, when a user says "Hey Xiao X" to a smart speaker and the smart speaker replies "Here," the local host device can synchronize "non-specified status information" to the cloud shadow device on the cloud server at a certain frequency (e.g., every 30 seconds for 3 minutes). When the user wakes up the local host device again via voice, if it is still within the 3-minute time limit, the non-specified status information will not be reported to the cloud shadow device again.

[0074] In this embodiment of the invention, it further includes: responding to a local service trigger event based on the status information of the local shadow device.

[0075] In this embodiment of the invention, the local service triggering event includes: viewing or controlling the smart home device through a device with a screen in the local environment.

[0076] In this context, "devices with screens in the local environment" refers to smart home devices with touchscreens that can control other smart home devices in the home environment without an internet connection. For example, a device with a screen could be a smart refrigerator or similar device with a touchscreen.

[0077] In practical applications, users can tap the touchscreen of the smart refrigerator, which can then directly obtain real-time status information of multiple smart home devices in the home environment through a local shadow device.

[0078] In this embodiment of the invention, when a change in the state of a smart home device is detected, real-time state information is acquired; it is determined whether the real-time state information is of a specified type; if the real-time state information is of a non-specified type, the real-time state information is updated to the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the local host device; in response to a cloud service trigger event, the non-specified type of state information in the local shadow device is updated to the cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the cloud server, so as to respond to the cloud service trigger event according to the state information of the cloud shadow device. This realizes the real-time detection and processing of the state changes of smart home devices, and updates the state information to the local or cloud as needed, thereby ensuring the real-time performance of the cloud shadow device and reducing the pressure of maintaining the shadow device in the cloud.

[0079] The following combination Figure 2 The present invention will be described by way of example:

[0080] Step 201: Obtain real-time status information of smart home devices.

[0081] Step 202: Determine whether the real-time status information is of the specified type. If yes, proceed to step 203; otherwise, proceed to step 204.

[0082] Step 203: Synchronize non-specified type status information to the local shadow device.

[0083] Step 204: Synchronize the specified type of status information to the local shadow device and the cloud shadow device.

[0084] If the triggering event is a local service triggering event (viewing or controlling smart home devices through a device with a screen in the local environment), then query the real-time status information of multiple smart home devices in the home environment from the local shadow device; if the triggering event is a cloud service triggering event (viewing or controlling the status of smart home devices through a client (such as an APP) or through voice commands), then notify the local host device to synchronize the non-specified type of status information in the local shadow device to the cloud shadow device.

[0085] In this embodiment of the invention, by deploying a local shadow device on the local host device, frequently reported content can be transferred to the local shadow device for storage, and only the specified type of status information is reported to the cloud server. When it is necessary to operate the smart home device, other "non-specified type of status information" is reported from the local shadow device to the cloud shadow device for synchronization as needed. This alleviates the load pressure on the cloud server to maintain the cloud shadow device, and ensures that users can check the status of smart home devices in real time when using the local host device.

[0086] Reference Figure 3 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of another processing method based on smart home devices provided by some embodiments of the present invention, applied to a local host device, which is connected to multiple smart home devices in a local environment.

[0087] The local host device can be the control center of the smart home system, responsible for managing and controlling smart home devices connected to the local network. For example, the local host device can be a smart central control screen, a smart speaker, etc.

[0088] As examples, users can network with other smart home devices in their home through a local host device in the smart home system, and users can interact with other smart home devices in the smart home system through the local host device; the functions of the local host device may include, but are not limited to, controlling the device's on / off state, adjusting settings, and viewing the device status.

[0089] Networking refers to the process by which various smart home devices (such as air purifiers, smart light bulbs, smart sockets, etc.) within a home can form a local network through Bluetooth networking, local area networks (such as Wi-Fi), or other wireless communication technologies. This network allows communication and data exchange between devices.

[0090] In this local network, each smart home device can periodically (at a preset frequency) send its current status information to the local host device. After receiving the status information sent by the smart device, the local host device can store this information locally or in the cloud, and provide it to other devices with screens as needed. Devices with screens can access the local host device to obtain real-time status information of various smart home devices in the home.

[0091] Specifically, it may include the following steps:

[0092] Step 301: Establish a local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the local host device, and establish a cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the cloud server.

[0093] Among them, cloud servers refer to servers located on the Internet, which are used to store and manage the status information and configuration of smart home devices. Through cloud servers, users can access and control their smart home devices from anywhere via the Internet.

The shadow device can refer to the virtual entity corresponding to the smart home device, which is used to store the device's status information, etc. For example, it can be implemented through JSON (JavaScript Object Notation, a lightweight data exchange format) or other storage methods.

[0095] Step 302: When a change in the state of the smart home device is detected, real-time status information is obtained.

[0096] Smart home devices can be those that can connect to the internet, be remotely controlled via smartphone apps, voice commands, or other means, and can perform tasks automatically. These devices can include, but are not limited to, smart lights, smart air conditioners, smart door locks, smart thermostats, and smart speakers.

[0097] A change in the status of a smart home device can refer to a change in its working state, location, settings, or other related attributes. For example, a smart light might change from being off to being on, or a smart thermostat might adjust the indoor temperature from 22°C to 24°C.

[0100] Step 303: Determine whether the real-time status information is a specified type of status information.

[0101] In this embodiment of the invention, the specified type of status information is the device's own status information, and the non-specified type of status information is environmental status information.

[0102] In this embodiment of the invention, the device's own status information includes any one of the following: device power on / off status information, device working mode information; the environmental status information includes any one of the following: ambient temperature information, ambient humidity information.

[0103] The device power-on / off status information refers to whether the device is currently powered on or powered off. For example, a television is playing a program (power-on) or is completely off (power-off).

[0104] Device operating mode information refers to the current operating mode or configuration of the device. Different devices can have different operating modes. For example, when the smart home device is a smart air conditioner, the device operating mode information can be air supply mode, cooling mode, heating mode, etc.

[0105] Ambient temperature information refers to the temperature of the environment in which the device is located. For example, when a smart home device is a smart air conditioner, it has a built-in temperature sensor to monitor the indoor temperature in order to adjust the operation of the air conditioner or heater. The real-time temperature obtained by the temperature sensor in the device can be used as the ambient temperature information.

[0106] Ambient humidity information refers to the humidity of the environment in which the device is located. For example, when a smart home device is a smart humidifier, it has a built-in humidity sensor to monitor indoor humidity in order to adjust the operation of the smart humidifier. The real-time humidity obtained by the humidity sensor in the device can be used as ambient humidity information.

[0107] After obtaining its own real-time status information, smart home devices can determine whether the real-time status information is of a specified type or not, in order to confirm whether to send the status information to the local shadow device and / or the cloud shadow device.

[0108] Step 304: If the real-time status information is a non-specified type of status information, update the real-time status information to the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the local host device.

[0109] In practical applications, if the acquired real-time status information is of a non-specified type, this status information can be updated on the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the local host device to keep the status of the local shadow device synchronized with that of the actual smart home device. Even if this information is not needed immediately, it may be used at some later time, or used to analyze the device's behavior patterns, etc.

[0110] In this embodiment of the invention, the method further includes: if the real-time status information is status information of a specified type, updating the real-time status information to the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the local host device, and updating the real-time status information to the cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the cloud server.

[0111] In practical applications, if the acquired real-time status information belongs to a specified type of status information, the system will perform the following two steps:

[0112] First, this status information is updated on the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the local host device to keep the status of the local shadow device synchronized with the actual smart home device, so that it can be quickly accessed when needed or decisions can be made based on the latest status even without a network connection.

[0114] Step 305: In response to the cloud service trigger event, update the non-specified type status information in the local shadow device to the cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the cloud server, so as to respond to the cloud service trigger event according to the status information of the cloud shadow device.

[0115] In this embodiment of the invention, the cloud service triggering event includes any one or more of the following: viewing or controlling the status of the smart home device through a client, and viewing or controlling the status of the smart home device through voice commands.

[0116] As examples, since users need data from cloud servers when using the client or voice control, this can be used as a cloud service to trigger events.

When the user wakes up the local host device again via voice, if it is still within the 3-minute time limit, the non-specified status information will not be reported to the cloud shadow device again.

[0121] In this embodiment of the invention, it further includes: responding to a local service trigger event based on the status information of the local shadow device.

[0122] In this embodiment of the invention, the local service triggering event includes: viewing or controlling the smart home device through a device with a screen in the local environment.

[0123] In this context, "devices with screens in the local environment" refers to smart home devices with touchscreens that can control other smart home devices in the home environment without an internet connection. For example, a device with a screen could be a smart refrigerator or similar device with a touchscreen.

[0124] In practical applications, users can tap the touchscreen of the smart refrigerator, which can then directly obtain real-time status information of multiple smart home devices in the home environment through a local shadow device.

[0125] In this embodiment of the invention, a local shadow device corresponding to a smart home device is established on a local host device, and a cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device is established on a cloud server. When a change in the state of the smart home device is detected, real-time state information is obtained. It is determined whether the real-time state information is of a specified type. If the real-time state information is of a non-specified type, the real-time state information is updated to the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the local host device. In response to a cloud service trigger event, the non-specified type of state information in the local shadow device is updated to the cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the cloud server. This allows for a response to cloud service trigger events based on the state information of the cloud shadow device. By detecting and processing the state changes of smart home devices in real time and updating the state information to the local or cloud as needed, the real-time performance of the cloud shadow device is ensured, while reducing the pressure on the cloud to maintain the shadow device.

[0126] Reference Figure 4 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of another processing method based on smart home devices provided by some embodiments of the present invention, applied to a local host device, which is connected to multiple smart home devices in a local environment.

[0127] The local host device can be the control center of the smart home system, responsible for managing and controlling smart home devices connected to the local network. For example, the local host device can be a smart central control screen, a smart speaker, etc.

[0128] As examples, users can network with other smart home devices in their home through a local host device in the smart home system, and users can interact with other smart home devices in the smart home system through the local host device; the functions of the local host device may include, but are not limited to, controlling the device's on / off state, adjusting settings, and viewing the device status.

[0129] Networking refers to the process by which various smart home devices (such as air purifiers, smart light bulbs, smart sockets, etc.) within a home can form a local network through Bluetooth networking, local area networks (such as Wi-Fi), or other wireless communication technologies. This network allows communication and data exchange between devices.

[0130] In this local network, each smart home device can periodically (at a preset frequency) send its current status information to the local host device. After receiving the status information sent by the smart device, the local host device can store this information locally or in the cloud, and provide it to other devices with screens as needed. Devices with screens can access the local host device to obtain real-time status information of various smart home devices in the home.

[0131] Specifically, it may include the following steps:

[0132] Step 401: Establish a local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the local host device, and establish a cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the cloud server.

[0133] Among them, cloud servers refer to servers located on the Internet, which are used to store and manage the status information and configuration of smart home devices. Through cloud servers, users can access and control their smart home devices from anywhere via the Internet.

[0134] After the local host device in the smart home system is networked with other smart home devices in the home, local shadow devices corresponding to the smart home devices can be established on the cloud server and the local host device respectively. The shadow device can refer to the virtual entity corresponding to the smart home device, which is used to store the device's status information, etc. For example, it can be implemented through JSON (JavaScript Object Notation, a lightweight data exchange format) or other storage methods.

[0135] Step 402: When a change in the state of the smart home device is detected, real-time status information is obtained.

[0136] Smart home devices can be those that can connect to the internet, be remotely controlled via smartphone apps, voice commands, or other means, and can perform tasks automatically. These devices can include, but are not limited to, smart lights, smart air conditioners, smart door locks, smart thermostats, and smart speakers.

[0137] A change in the status of a smart home device can refer to a change in its working state, location, settings, or other related attributes. For example, a smart light might change from being off to being on, or a smart thermostat might adjust the indoor temperature from 22°C to 24°C.

[0138] In practical applications, when the state of a smart home device changes, it can query its own state information as real-time status information and categorize the real-time status information.

[0139] For example, when a user uses a device with a screen in their home, such as a refrigerator with a screen, the device can obtain the status information of other devices from the local host device via a local area network for display. For instance, a refrigerator with a screen can display the on / off status of an air purifier (whether it is running), its operating mode (such as automatic, manual, sleep, etc.), and real-time data such as the PM2.5 index in the home obtained through the air purifier's sensors.

[0140] Step 403: Determine whether the real-time status information is a specified type of status information.

[0141] In this embodiment of the invention, the specified type of status information is the device's own status information, and the non-specified type of status information is environmental status information.

[0142] In this embodiment of the invention, the device's own status information includes any one of the following: device power on / off status information, device working mode information; the environmental status information includes any one of the following: ambient temperature information, ambient humidity information.

[0143] The device power-on / off status information refers to whether the device is currently powered on or powered off. For example, a television is playing a program (power-on) or is completely off (power-off).

[0144] Device operating mode information refers to the current operating mode or configuration of the device. Different devices can have different operating modes. For example, when the smart home device is a smart air conditioner, the device operating mode information can be air supply mode, cooling mode, heating mode, etc.

[0145] Ambient temperature information refers to the temperature of the environment in which the device is located. For example, when a smart home device is a smart air conditioner, it has a built-in temperature sensor to monitor the indoor temperature in order to adjust the operation of the air conditioner or heater. The real-time temperature obtained by the temperature sensor in the device can be used as the ambient temperature information.

[0146] Ambient humidity information refers to the humidity of the environment in which the device is located. For example, when a smart home device is a smart humidifier, it has a built-in humidity sensor to monitor indoor humidity in order to adjust the operation of the smart humidifier. The real-time humidity obtained by the humidity sensor in the device can be used as ambient humidity information.

[0147] After obtaining its own real-time status information, smart home devices can determine whether the real-time status information is of a specified type or not, in order to confirm whether to send the status information to the local shadow device and / or the cloud shadow device.

[0148] Step 404: If the real-time status information is a specified type of status information, update the real-time status information to the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the local host device, and update the real-time status information to the cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the cloud server.

[0149] In practical applications, if the acquired real-time status information belongs to a specified type of status information, the system will perform the following two steps:

[0150] First, this status information is updated on the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the local host device to keep the status of the local shadow device synchronized with the actual smart home device, so that it can be quickly accessed when needed or decisions can be made based on the latest status even without a network connection.

[0151] Secondly, this status information is also updated to the cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the cloud server, so as to ensure that no matter where the user is, they can access the latest status information of the smart home device through the Internet and perform corresponding control or response.

[0152] Step 405: If the real-time status information is a non-specified type of status information, update the real-time status information to the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the local host device.

[0153] In practical applications, if the acquired real-time status information is of a non-specified type, this status information can be updated on the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the local host device to keep the status of the local shadow device synchronized with that of the actual smart home device. Even if this information is not needed immediately, it may be used at some later time, or used to analyze the device's behavior patterns, etc.

[0154] Step 406: In response to the cloud service trigger event, update the non-specified type status information in the local shadow device to the cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the cloud server, so as to respond to the cloud service trigger event according to the status information of the cloud shadow device.

[0155] In this embodiment of the invention, the cloud service triggering event includes any one or more of the following: viewing or controlling the status of the smart home device through a client, and viewing or controlling the status of the smart home device through voice commands.

[0156] As examples, since users need data from cloud servers when using the client or voice control, this can be used as a cloud service to trigger events.

[0157] In practical applications, users can view or control the status of smart home devices through the client application; for example, users can use smartphone apps, web interfaces, or other types of client software to view the current status of smart home devices or send control commands. Users can also view or control the status of smart home devices through voice commands in the client application; for example, users can use the voice input in the client application to query the current status of smart home devices or send control commands.

[0158] In some examples, when a user accesses the smart home control page using a smart home client (for interface operations, voice control, etc.), the local host device can be notified to proactively report non-specified status information from the local shadow device at a certain frequency (e.g., once every 30 seconds, until the user exits the smart home control page) by calling an interface or message queue. This allows for targeted reporting, shortens message content, reduces cloud server processing time, and enables rapid updates to the cloud shadow device status.

[0159] As examples, when a user wakes up the local host device using the voice input of the local host device, such as through the voice input of the smart control screen, the smart control screen synchronizes the non-specified type status information of the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device in the home to the cloud shadow device at a certain frequency (such as at 30-second intervals, continuously reporting for 3 minutes) via the local area network.

[0160] For example, when a user says "Hey Xiao X" to a smart speaker and the smart speaker replies "Here," the local host device can synchronize "non-specified status information" to the cloud shadow device on the cloud server at a certain frequency (e.g., every 30 seconds for 3 minutes). When the user wakes up the local host device again via voice, if it is still within the 3-minute time limit, the non-specified status information will not be reported to the cloud shadow device again.

[0161] In this embodiment of the invention, it further includes: responding to a local service trigger event based on the status information of the local shadow device.

[0162] In this embodiment of the invention, the local service triggering event includes: viewing or controlling the smart home device through a device with a screen in the local environment.

[0163] In this context, "devices with screens in the local environment" refers to smart home devices with touchscreens that can control other smart home devices in the home environment without an internet connection. For example, a device with a screen could be a smart refrigerator or similar device with a touchscreen.

[0164] In practical applications, users can tap the touchscreen of the smart refrigerator, which can then directly obtain real-time status information of multiple smart home devices in the home environment through a local shadow device.

[0165] In this embodiment of the invention, a local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device is established on the local host device, and a cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device is established on the cloud server. When a change in the state of the smart home device is detected, real-time state information is obtained. It is determined whether the real-time state information is of a specified type. If the real-time state information is of a specified type, the real-time state information is updated to the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the local host device, and the real-time state information is also updated to the cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the cloud server. If the real-time state information is of a non-specified type, the real-time state information is updated to the local shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the local host device. In response to a cloud service trigger event, the non-specified type of state information in the local shadow device is updated to the cloud shadow device corresponding to the smart home device on the cloud server. This allows for a response to cloud service trigger events based on the state information of the cloud shadow device. This achieves real-time detection and processing of the state changes of the smart home device, updating the state information to the local or cloud as needed, thereby ensuring the real-time performance of the cloud shadow device and reducing the pressure on the cloud to maintain the shadow device.
