[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Figure 1 It is a system architecture diagram for sending a control instruction provided by an embodiment of the present invention, including: a client 11, a server 12, and a target device 13.

[0036] The client 11 may be a smart terminal, such as a mobile terminal, a smart watch, a smart speaker, etc., or other devices with communication functions, such as a laptop computer, a car computer, etc. The client has the function of obtaining time and environmental conditions, so as to obtain time and environmental conditions.

[0037] In addition to the device service function, the target device 13 may also have a computing function and a network function. The target device 13 may be a smart home device. Specifically, the target device 13 may be an air conditioner, a switch, a fan, a purifier, an automatic curtain, a socket, a door lock, etc. The device service function is used to realize the basic functions of home appliances, such as the cooling function of the air conditioner, the opening and closing function of the switch, the blowing function of the fan, the blowing function of the purifier, the opening and closing function of the automatic curtain, the power on and off function of the socket, and the anti-theft function of the door lock.

[0038] The server 12 may be implemented through a cloud server. The server 12 deploys a program module that supports the device service function of the target device 13. The program module allows the target device 13 to execute the corresponding device service function.

[0039] The client 11, the target device 13, and the server 12 are connected via wired and / or wireless connections.

[0040] In an example of the present invention, the client 11 sends a first control instruction for the target device 13 to the server 12. After processing the first control instruction, the server 12 obtains a second control instruction, and then sends the second control instruction to the target device 13. After receiving the second control instruction, the target device 13 executes the corresponding function. The target device 13 reports the status data after executing the corresponding function to the server 12. The server 12 can send a notification to the client 11 to notify the client 11 that the target device 13 has completed the corresponding function.

[0041] In an example of the present invention, before sending the first control instruction, the client will be pre-registered on the server. For example, the client sends a registration request to the cloud service, and the registration request contains the client's registration information, such as user name, password, token, client identification code, identification code of the target device registered on the client, etc. After receiving the registration request, the server verifies the registration information, and the cloud service returns a response to the client based on the verification result. If the registration is successful, the cloud service will save the registration information, and the client can continue to use the cloud service, thereby establishing the registration between the client and the cloud service. Similarly, the target device can also be pre-registered on the server and the client. The specific registration process can refer to the above and will not be described in detail. Through pre-registration, the subsequent server can clearly know which target device corresponding to the client needs to send the first control instruction to when it receives the first control instruction sent by the client, and after the server receives the first status data sent by the target device, it can clearly know which client needs to forward the first status data to. In a smart home system, in order to push the latest device status to users in a timely manner, smart home devices can actively report data to the server when their status data changes. For example, when a user turns on a light remotely, the light will report status data, and the server will push the status data to the client to let the user know that the light is turned on. Or, for example, when a user turns on an air conditioner remotely, the air conditioner will report status data, and the server will push the status data to the client to let the user know that the air conditioner is turned on.

[0042] Figure 2 is a flow chart of the steps of a control instruction processing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the method is applied to a server, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method may include:

[0043] Step 101: Receive a first control instruction sent by a client.

[0044] In an example of the present invention, an operation interface is provided on the client, so that the user can manually trigger the client to send a first control instruction to the server in the operation interface, or the user can configure the triggering conditions of the first control instruction in the operation interface. When the triggering conditions are met, the client automatically sends the first control instruction to the server.

[0045] Figure 3a-3d Schematic diagram of the operation interface provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3a As shown, the main operation interface includes manual trigger scene configuration controls and automatic trigger scene configuration controls.

[0046] When the user manually triggers the first control instruction in the operation interface, the user operates the manual trigger scene configuration control on the operation main interface to enter the manual trigger scene configuration interface, such as Figure 3bAs shown, the manual trigger scene configuration interface includes a first device execution action configuration control and a manual trigger control, so that the user can use the first device execution action configuration control to configure the control action performed on a device or batch configure the control actions performed by multiple devices, and use the manual trigger control to send the control action that the device needs to perform to the server in the form of a first control instruction, thereby realizing the sending of the first control instruction to the server based on the user's manual operation on the client.

[0047] In the example of the present invention, the client automatically sends the first control instruction to the server by automatically triggering the scene configuration control. The automatically triggering scene configuration control includes: a time setting control, an environment setting control, and a device state setting control, wherein the time setting control is used to set the time condition for automatically sending the first control instruction to the server, the environment setting control is used to set the environment condition for automatically sending the first control instruction to the server, and the device state setting control is used to set the device state condition for automatically sending the first control instruction to the server.

[0048] When the user triggers the time setting control, the time setting interface will be entered. The time setting interface includes a time condition selection control to select any time, such as Figure 3c shown.

[0049] When the user triggers the environment setting control, the environment setting interface will be entered, such as Figure 3d As shown, the environment setting interface includes geographical condition setting options, temperature condition setting options, weather condition setting options, PM2.5 condition setting options, and air quality setting options, so that users can select specific environmental conditions for automatic triggering, so that users can select environmental conditions for automatic triggering scenes according to actual needs.

[0050] When the user triggers the device status setting control, the device status setting interface will be entered to set the device status conditions for the automatic triggering scenario. The operating device targeted by the device status setting interface may be the same as or different from the target device. For example, when the curtains need to be controlled, the door lock can be set to unlock in the device status setting interface to generate a first control instruction. When the door lock is unlocked, it means that the user needs to enter the room, and the first control instruction will be automatically sent to the server. The server instructs to open the curtains to increase the natural light in the room, thereby realizing the linkage control of the curtains and door locks.

[0051] The automatic triggering scene configuration control also includes a second device execution action configuration control, and the second device execution action configuration control is used to configure a control action that needs to be executed by at least one device.

[0052] After configuring the automatic triggering scene through the time setting control, the environment setting control, the device status setting control, and the second device execution action configuration control, the control action required to be executed by at least one device can be configured to be sent to the server in the form of a first control instruction according to the set time conditions, environment conditions, and device status conditions, when the set time conditions, environment conditions, and device status conditions are met, thereby automatically sending the first control instruction to the server in the automatic triggering scene. For example, the time condition for automatically triggering the first control instruction is set to 9 o'clock in the morning through the time setting control, the environment condition for automatically triggering the first control instruction is set to sunny weather through the environment setting control, the device status setting control is used to set the device status condition for automatically triggering the first control instruction to be unlocked when the door lock is unlocked through the device status setting control, and the curtain is configured to open and the air conditioner is turned off through the second device execution action configuration control. Then, when it is 9 o'clock in the morning, the weather is sunny, and the door lock is unlocked, the client sends the first control instruction to open the curtain and turn off the air conditioner to the server, thereby realizing batch control of the two devices, the curtain and the air conditioner, and in the process of batch control of the curtain and the air conditioner, the linkage between the curtain execution action and the air conditioner execution action is realized.

[0053] In another embodiment of the present invention, the operation interface further has a room selection control, through which the room's equipment needs to be controlled is selected, or the equipment status condition is set based on the status of the equipment in a room.

[0054] In the example of the present invention, the specific process of generating the first control instruction is not limited.

[0055] Step 102: Determine the number of target devices to be controlled according to the first control instruction.

[0056] In an example of the present invention, the first control instruction includes control sub-instructions, each control sub-instruction corresponds to a target device to be controlled. After the server obtains the first control instruction, it can parse the first control instruction to obtain each control sub-instruction, and then count the number of control sub-instructions to determine the number of target devices to be controlled.

[0057] In another embodiment of the present invention, when the client sends the first control instruction to the server, each control sub-instruction is a data packet.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present application, a user can use a client to remotely send control instructions for a target device to a server. The target device may be a smart home device, such as an air conditioner, TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, switch, fan, purifier, automatic curtains, socket, door lock, etc. at home.

[0059] Step 103: When the number of target devices is greater than or equal to two, configure delay time information for the control sub-instruction corresponding to each target device in the first control instruction to obtain a second control instruction corresponding to each target device; the delay time information corresponding to different target devices is not completely the same.

[0060] When the number of target devices is greater than or equal to two, it means that the user needs to perform batch control on multiple target devices. Therefore, in the case of batch control, delay time information is configured for the control sub-instruction corresponding to each target device in the first control instruction to obtain a second control instruction corresponding to each target device.

[0061] In the example of the present invention, step 103 includes:

[0062] Step 1031, configure different delay time ranges for different control sub-instructions, and obtain a second control instruction corresponding to each target device. The delay time range is used for the target device to randomly select a delay time length within the delay time range, and after executing the control action, send the first status data after delaying the delay time length.

[0063] When the number of target devices is greater than or equal to two, it indicates that multiple target devices need to be controlled. On this basis, in order to reduce the peak pressure of the server, in an example of the present invention, when the number of target devices is greater than or equal to two, a delay time range is configured for the control sub-instruction corresponding to each target device in the first control instruction, so that the target device randomly selects a delay time length within the delay time range, and after executing the control action, the target device sends the first status data after delaying for the delay time length, thereby reducing the peak pressure of the server.

[0064] In the example of the present invention, considering that the user and the server have different timeliness requirements for the first state data fed back by different target devices, and further reducing the peak pressure of the server receiving the first state data, the delay time information corresponding to different target devices is not completely the same. For example, the delay time range set for target device 1 is 1 minute, the delay time range set for target device 2 is 3 minutes, and the delay time range set for target device 3 is 5 minutes.

[0065] In the present invention, different delay time ranges can be configured for different control sub-instructions according to experience values. For example, according to the peak duration of the server receiving the first state data in the historical time, a delay time range greater than the peak duration is selected as the setting delay time range.

[0066] In another example of the present invention, the server adjusts the delay time range according to the current time and the type of the target device. For example, 7 am to 10 am and 6 pm to 8 pm are the morning and evening peaks, so it is easier for users to control the target device, and the control requirements for curtains and air conditioners are higher. Therefore, the delay time range can be increased for curtains and air conditioners during the morning and evening peaks to further reduce the server traffic peak. For example, if the curtains are set from 7 am to 10 am, they can report the first status data within 5 minutes after the control action is executed, and if the curtains are set from 10 am to 4 pm, they can report the first status data within 3 minutes after the control action is executed.

[0067] In another example of the present invention, for two target devices that have a chronological order in which action completion times are executed, the end time of the delay time range configured by the server for the target device that completes the action first is earlier than the start time of the delay time range configured for the target device that completes the action later, thereby making the first status data reported by the two target devices that have a chronological order in which action completion times are executed more in line with the execution order.

[0068] In another embodiment of the present invention, the delay time information corresponding to different target devices may be the same, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0069] The first state data is the state data after the target device performs the control action. In the example of the present invention, after the target device performs the corresponding control action, the state information of the target device will change, and the target device will send the first state data after performing the control action to the server.

[0070] The first state data after different target devices execute control actions are different. For example, after the air conditioner completes the temperature adjustment action, the first state data sent by the air conditioner includes: power on or off, mode, light, at least one of wind speed, and temperature. For example, after the washing machine completes the laundry action, the first state data sent by the washing machine includes: the amount of electricity used for laundry, the amount of water used for laundry, and the time used for laundry.

[0071] In the example of the present invention, the target device will randomly select a delay time length within the delay time range, and after the target device executes the control action, it will send the first status data within the time corresponding to the delay time length after the control action is executed based on the selected delay time length. For example, when the delay time range set by the target device 1 is 1 minute, the randomly selected delay time length is 20 seconds, and the target device 1 can send the first status data to the server 20 seconds after the control action is executed.

[0072] In the example of the present invention, step 1031 includes:

[0073] Step 201: For each control sub-instruction, configure delay time information in a preset field of the control sub-instruction to obtain a second control instruction.

[0074] When configuring the delay time information, the configuration may be performed for the preset field of each control sub-instruction in the first control instruction, thereby obtaining the second control instruction corresponding to each target device.

[0075] Wherein, step 201 includes:

[0076] Step 2011: Add delay time information to other information fields of the control sub-instruction to obtain a second control instruction.

[0077] When the number of controls is greater than or equal to two, the first control instruction includes control sub-instructions for multiple target devices. The control sub-instruction includes: a device control instruction field and other information fields, wherein the device control instruction field is used to record the device control instruction, and the device control instruction is used to instruct the target device to perform a control action. The other information field is used for configuration by the server. The control sub-instruction also includes: a target device ID, and the target device ID is used to determine the identity of the target device.

[0078] For example, when the number of controls is greater than or equal to two, the format of the first control instruction is as follows: [

[0080] {target device 1id, device control instructions for target device 1, other information},

[0081] {target device 2id, device control instructions of target device 2, other information},

[0082] {target device 3id, device control instructions for target device 3, other information}, ...

[0084] ], wherein the control sub-instruction corresponding to the target device 1 is {target device 1id, device control instruction of target device 1, other information}, the control sub-instruction corresponding to the target device 2 is {target device 2id, device control instruction of target device 2, other information}, and the control sub-instruction corresponding to the target device 3 is {target device 3id, device control instruction of target device 3, other information}, wherein the device control instruction of target device 1 in the control sub-instruction corresponding to the target device 1 corresponds to the device control instruction field, and other information corresponds to the other information field.

[0085] In the example of the present invention, when configuring the delay time information, the delay time information may be added to other information fields of each control sub-instruction, thereby obtaining a second control instruction corresponding to each target device.

[0086] Since different target devices correspond to different device control instructions, and considering the device security requirements, the device control instruction field is often encrypted. Therefore, the example of the present invention provides other information fields, and the other information fields are plain text, so that the server can add delay time information in other information fields without decrypting the device control instruction field. Moreover, since the security level of other information fields is lower than that of the device control instruction field, even if other information fields are leaked, no security incidents will occur. Therefore, by setting other information fields, the server computing pressure is reduced without causing security incidents.

[0087] It should be noted that the device control instruction in the control sub-instruction of the target device can enable the target device to perform at least one action. For example, the device control instruction 1 for the target device 1 indicates that the action performed by the target device can be turned on and the parameters can be adjusted to a specified value, such as controlling the air conditioner to turn on and adjusting the cooling temperature of the air conditioner to 24°C. For another example, the device control instruction 1 for the target device 1 indicates that the action performed by the target device can be turned on.

[0088] In the example of the present invention, other relevant information can also be added to other information fields. For example, the server can add the frequency of sending the target device status in other information fields, so that during the process of the target device executing the control action, the status of the target device is continuously fed back to the server based on the frequency of sending the target device status.

[0089] Step 104, sending each second control instruction to the corresponding target device; the second control instruction is used to make the target device execute the control action indicated by the second control instruction, and according to the delay time information in the second control instruction, delay sending the first state data after the target device executes the control action to the server.

[0090] Since the second control instruction is obtained by the server after adding the delay time information in the other information fields of each control sub-instruction, the second control instruction includes the device control instruction field and the other information fields after adding the delay time information, so that the target device can be instructed to perform a control action based on the second control instruction, and the first status data after the target device performs the control action can be delayed and sent to the server according to the delay time information in the second control instruction.

[0091] In an example of the present invention, step 104 includes:

[0092] Step 1041: For each second control instruction, select a delayed sending time of the second control instruction within a first time range.

[0093] The first time range can be set according to experience or the current working pressure of the server, and the delayed sending time can be a time randomly selected within the first time range or a time predicted by the server according to the working pressure and belonging to the first time range. The first time ranges corresponding to each second control instruction can be the same or different.

[0094] The first time range can be 2 seconds to 3 seconds, or 1 minute to 5 minutes, and the examples of the present invention do not limit this. For example, the first time range for target device 1 is 5 minutes, so after the server generates the second control instruction, it can send the second control instruction to the corresponding target device at a random time within 5 minutes, or the server predicts that the server's working pressure will be lower than the preset working pressure value within 4 minutes based on the working pressure, so the server sends the second control instruction to the corresponding target device at the 4th minute after generating the second control instruction.

[0095] The first time range corresponding to each second control instruction may be different, for example, the first time range for target device 1 may be set to 1 minute, the first time range for target device 2 may be set to 3 minutes, and the first time range for target device 3 may be set to 5 minutes. Since the time ranges are different, the delay times randomly selected in different time ranges may be different, thereby discretizing the time for each target device to upload status data.

[0096] Step 1042: based on the delayed sending time corresponding to the second control instruction, delay sending the corresponding second control instruction to the target device corresponding to the second control instruction

[0097] In the example of the present invention, when the server sends the corresponding second control instruction to multiple target devices, it can delay sending each second control instruction, so that the server does not have to send the second control instruction to the multiple target devices immediately, reducing the peak pressure of the server. Therefore, when batch control is performed on multiple target devices, the moment when the server sends the second control instruction to each target device is discrete within the first time range. After the target device performs the control action, it randomly selects a time within the delay time range corresponding to the delay time information to send the first state data. For this batch control of multiple target devices, the sending time of the first state data sent by multiple target devices to the server is discretized within a time period, instead of allowing multiple target devices to send the first state data to the server at one time.

[0098] In summary, in an embodiment of the present application, a first control instruction sent by a client is received, and the number of target devices to be controlled is determined according to the first control instruction. When the number of target devices is greater than or equal to two, delay time information is configured for the control sub-instruction corresponding to each target device in the first control instruction to obtain a second control instruction corresponding to each target device. The delay time information corresponding to different target devices is not exactly the same. Each second control instruction is sent to the corresponding target device. The second control instruction is used to enable the target device to execute the control action indicated by the second control instruction, and according to the delay time information in the second control instruction, the first state data after the target device executes the control action is delayed and sent to the server. Therefore, in the case of batch control of multiple target devices, the first state data reported by multiple target devices will be dispersed at different times, so as to avoid the target device immediately reporting the latest state after executing the second control instruction, resulting in the concentrated time of reporting data by different target devices and the occurrence of high peak pressure on the server.

[0099] In another example of the present invention, when the number of target devices is one, after receiving the first control instruction, the server may forward it to the target device. After the target device executes the first control instruction, it immediately sends the first status data to the server.

[0100] Figure 4 is a flow chart of the steps of a control instruction processing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method is applied to a target device, comprising:

[0101] Step 301: Receive a second control instruction sent by a server; the second control instruction is configured with delay time information.

[0102] The second control instruction is used to make the target device execute the control action indicated by the second control instruction, and delay sending the first state data after the target device executes the control action to the server according to the delay time information in the second control instruction.

[0103] For step 301 , reference may be made to the detailed description of the above-mentioned steps 103 and 104 , which will not be repeated here.

[0104] Step 302: Execute the control action indicated by the second control instruction, and according to the delay time information in the second control instruction, delay sending the first state data after the target device executes the control action to the server.

[0105] After receiving the second control instruction, the target device parses the second control instruction to determine the device control instruction field and other information fields in the second control instruction, performs the corresponding control action according to the device control instruction field, and updates its own state data to obtain the first state data. After executing the corresponding control action, the target device will delay sending the first state data after the target device executes the control action to the server according to the delay time information in the other information fields.

[0106] Since different users have certain similarities in their smart home control settings, for example, most of them are concentrated between 6pm and 8pm, a large number of users reporting status data in a short period of time will cause a large peak pressure on the server. However, this application, through the above-mentioned delayed reporting of status data, when a large number of users use multiple target devices in a short period of time (for example, 6pm to 8pm), the server disperses the time of the first status data sent by the target device controlled by each user in batches, which greatly reduces the peak value of data reporting traffic in a short period of time, avoids the impact of short-term excessive peak values ​​on the service, and improves the reliability and stability of the service.

[0107] Wherein, the delay time information includes a delay time range, and step 302 includes:

[0108] Step 3021, randomly select a delay time length within the delay time range.

[0109] The specific description of step 3021 may refer to the above step 103 and will not be repeated here.

[0110] Step 3022: after executing the control action, send the first status data to the server after a delay time.

[0111] The specific description of step 3022 may refer to the above step 103 and will not be repeated here.

[0112] In summary, in the examples of the present invention, after receiving the second control instruction, the target device executes the control action indicated by the second control instruction, and delays sending the first state data of the target device after executing the control action to the server according to the delay time information in the second control instruction, so that after multiple target devices complete the control action, multiple first state data will not be sent to the server immediately. Therefore, although all the first state data received by the server cannot be evenly distributed in every second of the day, for the peak period of server usage in a day, for example, when different users concentrate on using smart home devices from 6 to 8 pm, the first state data received by the server is discretized into a longer time range (within 1 to 5 minutes), which reduces the peak pressure of the server, avoids the impact of short-term excessively high peaks on the server, and improves the reliability and stability of the server.
