[0054] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all 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.

[0055] In order to reduce the server load while maintaining the real-time status of smart home devices, the embodiment of the present invention provides an interactive method for smart home devices, which can convert automatic device reporting into on-demand reporting, thereby reducing the device reporting frequency; at the same time, it can also maintain the real-time status of cloud-based devices. Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for interacting with smart home devices according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the interaction method for smart home devices may include the following steps:

[0057] Step 101: In response to a device wake-up instruction of a voice entry device, a smart home device is woken up, and current first device status information of the smart home device is obtained from the smart home device.

[0058] The field of smart home has made great progress. For the query and control of smart home devices, interaction with the devices is inevitable.

[0059] The current mainstream solution is real-time device communication, that is, querying the status and interacting with the smart home device once, and then sending it and interacting with the smart home device again; because the instability of the local network environment cannot be avoided, it leads to a long waiting time (for voice control, it is necessary to query the status once + send a command, which is equivalent to interacting with the device twice for one voice execution, which is easy to time out); nowadays, the more commonly used solutions are cloud devices (shadow devices), that is, cloud devices report the status to the IoT (Internet of Things) server cache, and the smart home client directly obtains the current status of the device by querying the IoT server cache.

[0060] Although cloud devices can greatly improve the smart home experience, they also put a lot of burden on the server. With more and more online devices, the server is loaded with a lot of device reporting information processing work, which causes problems such as untimely updates of cloud device status (message backlog), significantly slow service processing, and even crash restart. How to reduce the frequency of device reporting while maintaining the real-time status of cloud devices and ensuring services under the framework of cloud devices is a problem that needs to be carefully solved.

[0061] To address this problem, an embodiment of the present invention can change the reporting of smart home device status information to on-demand reporting, thereby reducing the reporting frequency; in addition, when the smart home device is woken up, the status information is obtained, so that the latest status information is stored in the Internet of Things server before receiving the information acquisition instruction, thereby ensuring the real-time status.

[0062] Specifically, the user may first perform an operation on the voice entry device to control the voice entry device to generate a device wake-up instruction for the smart home device. The voice entry device may refer to a device with a voice interaction function and used to control the smart home device, such as a voice audio system, a voice air conditioner, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0063] Smart home devices can refer to home appliances and devices that are connected via the Internet and can be remotely controlled or automatically perform tasks. For example: smart bulbs and lighting systems, smart thermostats, smart door locks, smart cameras, smart sockets, smart refrigerators, smart washers and dryers, smart curtains and blinds, smart air purifiers, etc. These devices can be connected to the home network via wired, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or other wireless communication protocols and controlled through smartphone apps, tablets or voice assistants.

[0064] When users need to control smart home devices or view the information of smart home devices, they need to wake up the smart home devices through the voice entry device first; for example, they can wake up the voice entry device by saying wake-up words such as "Xiaodu Xiaodu" or "Xiao Ai classmate" to the voice entry device.

[0065] After generating a device wake-up instruction, the voice entry device can send the device wake-up instruction to the Internet of Things server; after receiving the device wake-up instruction, the Internet of Things server can respond to the device wake-up instruction and wake up the corresponding smart home device.

[0066] In some feasible embodiments, the voice entry device caches a list of devices in the home at the voice communication module end, and the list also indicates the protocols that distinguish different devices.

[0067] When the voice function is awakened, the device status report wake-up is processed in parallel with the voice function. Specifically: for smart home devices that support short-range protocols such as Bluetooth or mesh, the device is notified to immediately report its real-time status through short-range methods such as LAN and Bluetooth broadcast;

[0068] For devices that do not support short-range communication or are not connected to a local area network, that is, the smart home devices cannot be directly awakened by the voice entry device, the smart home devices are reported to the IoT server, and the IoT server wakes up the smart home devices in parallel to start status reporting.

[0069] In actual applications, when a device wake-up command for a smart home device is detected, the smart home device can be notified to report the device status information, so that the cloud device deployed in the IoT server for the smart home device can be updated in advance.

[0070] Specifically, after detecting the device wake-up instruction, the IoT server may first wake up the smart home device and obtain the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device. The first device status information may include the current status parameters of the smart home device and may also include the status parameters of the environment currently detected by the smart home device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0071] Exemplarily, when the Internet of Things server obtains the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device, the smart home device may actively report the current first device status information to the Internet of Things server.

[0072] Step 102: Update the device status information of the cloud device according to the first device status information.

[0073] After obtaining the first device status information, the IoT server can use the first device status information to update the device status information of its locally deployed cloud device, so that when it receives an information acquisition instruction in the future, it can directly feed back the latest device status information to the user.

[0074] Step 103: In response to the information acquisition instruction of the voice entry device, determine the current second device status information of the cloud device, and feed back the second device status information to the voice entry device.

[0075] In actual applications, after completing the wake-up, if the user wants to obtain the device status information of the smart home device, the user can further perform the operation of obtaining the device status information; the voice entry device can generate an information acquisition instruction in response to the operation, and send the information acquisition instruction to the Internet of Things server.

[0076] After receiving the information acquisition instruction, the Internet of Things server can respond to the information acquisition instruction to determine the current second device status information of the cloud device. The second device status information is based on the device status information determined based on the latest cloud device after the cloud device is updated by the first device status information.

[0077] After determining the second device status information, the IoT server may return the second device status information to the voice entry device. The voice entry device may perform subsequent data processing based on the second device status information; or, the voice entry device may also display the second device status information to the user, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present invention, in response to the device wake-up instruction of the voice entry device, the smart home device is woken up, and the current first device status information of the smart home device is obtained from the smart home device; according to the first device status information, the device status information of the cloud device is updated; in response to the information acquisition instruction of the voice entry device, the current second device status information of the cloud device is determined, and the second device status information is fed back to the voice entry device. Through the embodiment of the present invention, the load of the Internet of Things server can be reduced while maintaining the real-time status of the smart home device.

[0079] Reference Figure 2 , shows a flowchart of another method for interacting with smart home devices according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may include the following steps:

[0080] Step 201: wake up the smart home device in response to a device wake-up instruction from a voice entry device.

[0081] In one embodiment of the present invention, the device wake-up instruction is an instruction generated by the voice entry device based on the user's voice interaction operation.

[0082] In some feasible embodiments, the device wake-up instruction may be an instruction generated by the voice entry device based on the user's voice interaction operation; wherein the voice interaction operation may refer to the operation of the user saying a wake-up word to the voice entry device.

[0083] The information acquisition instruction may also be an instruction generated by the voice entry device based on the user's voice interaction operation; wherein, the voice interaction operation used to generate the device wake-up instruction may be different from the voice interaction operation used to generate the information acquisition instruction. For example: the voice interaction operation used to generate the device wake-up instruction may be "Xiaodu Xiaodu", and the voice interaction operation used to generate the information acquisition instruction may be "Check the current air quality". The embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0084] When the user needs to control the smart home device or view the information of the smart home device, the user needs to wake up the smart home device through the voice entry device first.

[0085] After generating a device wake-up instruction, the voice entry device can send the device wake-up instruction to the Internet of Things server; after receiving the device wake-up instruction, the Internet of Things server can respond to the device wake-up instruction and wake up the corresponding smart home device.

[0086] After detecting the device wake-up instruction, the IoT server may first wake up the smart home device and obtain the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device.

[0087] Step 202: Continuously obtain current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device at a preset time interval.

[0088] In some feasible embodiments, after the smart home device is awakened, the Internet of Things server can continuously obtain the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device at a preset time interval, so as to maintain the real-time nature of the device status information of the cloud device.

[0089] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first device status information includes environmental information acquired by the smart home device.

[0090] In some feasible embodiments, the first device status information may include environmental information obtained by the smart home device, such as temperature and humidity, PM (Particulate Matter) 2.5, and light intensity, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

[0091] Step 203: Update the device status information of the cloud device according to the latest first device status information currently obtained.

[0092] Every time the IoT server receives a first device status information, it can use the latest first device information obtained to update the device status information of the cloud device to ensure the real-time nature of the device status information of the cloud device.

[0093] Step 204: In response to the information acquisition instruction of the voice entry device, determine the current second device status information of the cloud device, and feed back the second device status information to the voice entry device.

[0094] In actual applications, after completing the wake-up, if the user wants to obtain the device status information of the smart home device, the user can further perform the operation of obtaining the device status information; the voice entry device can generate an information acquisition instruction in response to the operation, and send the information acquisition instruction to the Internet of Things server.

[0095] After receiving the information acquisition instruction, the Internet of Things server can respond to the information acquisition instruction to determine the current second device status information of the cloud device. The second device status information is based on the device status information determined based on the latest cloud device after the cloud device is updated by the first device status information.

[0096] After determining the second device status information, the IoT server may return the second device status information to the voice entry device. The voice entry device may perform subsequent data processing based on the second device status information; or, the voice entry device may also display the second device status information to the user, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present invention, in response to the device wake-up instruction of the voice entry device, the smart home device is woken up; at a preset time interval, the current first device status information of the smart home device is continuously obtained from the smart home device; according to the latest first device status information currently obtained, the device status information of the cloud device is updated; in response to the information acquisition instruction of the voice entry device, the current second device status information of the cloud device is determined, and the second device status information is fed back to the voice entry device. Through the embodiment of the present invention, the load of the Internet of Things server can be reduced while maintaining the real-time status of the smart home device.

[0098] Reference Figure 3 , shows a flowchart of another method for interacting with smart home devices according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may include the following steps:

[0099] Step 301: wake up the smart home device in response to a device wake-up instruction from a voice entry device.

[0100] When the user needs to control the smart home device or view the information of the smart home device, the user needs to wake up the smart home device through the voice entry device first.

[0101] After generating a device wake-up instruction, the voice entry device can send the device wake-up instruction to the Internet of Things server; after receiving the device wake-up instruction, the Internet of Things server can respond to the device wake-up instruction and wake up the corresponding smart home device.

[0102] After detecting the device wake-up instruction, the IoT server may first wake up the smart home device and obtain the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device.

[0103] Step 302: Continuously obtain current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device at a preset time interval.

[0104] In some feasible embodiments, after the smart home device is awakened, the Internet of Things server can continuously obtain the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device at a preset time interval, so as to maintain the real-time nature of the device status information of the cloud device.

[0105] Step 303: When the duration of obtaining the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device continues for a preset duration, stop obtaining the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device.

[0106] In some feasible embodiments, in order to avoid excessive pressure on the IoT server, the smart home device can be set to only continue to report device status information for a preset time after being awakened.

[0107] Specifically, the smart home device can be set to continuously upload the first device status information to the Internet of Things server at a preset time interval after being awakened, and the duration is a preset time length; for example, the preset time interval can be 30s, and the preset duration can be 5 minutes.

[0108] When it is detected that the duration of obtaining the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device continues for a preset duration, obtaining the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device may be stopped.

[0109] For example, after waking up the smart home device, the voice entry device can also start a countdown, and the countdown duration is a preset duration; when the voice function is used again before the countdown ends, the smart home device may no longer be woken up (because within the preset duration, the smart home device is in an awake state and is continuously uploading device status information to the IoT server, so it does not need to be woken up again).

[0110] Step 304: Update the device status information of the cloud device according to the latest first device status information currently obtained.

[0111] Every time the IoT server receives a first device status information, it can use the latest first device information obtained to update the device status information of the cloud device to ensure the real-time nature of the device status information of the cloud device.

[0112] Step 305: In response to the information acquisition instruction of the voice entry device, determine the current second device status information of the cloud device, and feed back the second device status information to the voice entry device.

[0113] In actual applications, after completing the wake-up, if the user wants to obtain the device status information of the smart home device, the user can further perform the operation of obtaining the device status information; the voice entry device can generate an information acquisition instruction in response to the operation, and send the information acquisition instruction to the Internet of Things server.

[0114] After receiving the information acquisition instruction, the Internet of Things server can respond to the information acquisition instruction to determine the current second device status information of the cloud device. The second device status information is based on the device status information determined based on the latest cloud device after the cloud device is updated by the first device status information.

[0115] After determining the second device status information, the IoT server may return the second device status information to the voice entry device. The voice entry device may perform subsequent data processing based on the second device status information; or, the voice entry device may also display the second device status information to the user, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0116] In an embodiment of the present invention, the above method may further include the following steps:

[0117] When receiving the information acquisition instruction, determine the time difference between the timestamp of the current second device status information of the cloud device and the current time; when the time difference is not less than the preset time difference, re-acquire the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device; when the time difference is less than the preset time difference, feedback the second device status information to the voice entry device.

[0118] In some feasible embodiments, when receiving an information acquisition instruction, in order to ensure that the device status information of the cloud device fed back is the latest, the timestamp of the current second device status information of the cloud device and the current time of the current IoT server can be determined first.

[0119] Then, the IoT server may calculate the time difference between the timestamp of the current second device status information of the cloud device and the current time.

[0120] If the time difference is not less than the preset time difference, it can be determined that the device status information is not the latest; at this time, the current first device status information of the smart home device can be obtained from the smart home device again, and the device status information of the cloud device can be updated using the first device status information to determine the second device status information of the cloud device.

[0121] On the contrary, if the time difference is less than the preset time difference, it can be determined that the device status information is the latest; at this time, the Internet of Things server can directly feedback the second device status information to the voice entry device.

[0122] In one embodiment of the present invention, when reacquiring the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device, the method further includes:

[0123] When the current first device status information of the smart home device is re-acquired from the smart home device, if the first device status information is not re-acquired for more than a first preset time, query waiting information is fed back to the voice entry device.

[0124] In some feasible embodiments, when re-obtaining the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device, the acquisition may time out due to network problems; at this time, it can be determined whether the first device status information has not been re-obtained for more than a first preset time period.

[0125] If it is determined that the first device status information is not re-acquired within the first preset time, query waiting information can be fed back to the voice entry device to prompt the user that the current network is not good and it takes a longer time to obtain the device status information of the smart home device.

[0126] In one embodiment of the present invention, when reacquiring the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device, the method further includes:

[0127] When the current first device status information of the smart home device is re-acquired from the smart home device, if the first device status information is not re-acquired for more than a second preset time period, device offline information is fed back to the voice entry device.

[0128] In some feasible embodiments, when re-acquiring the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device, the acquisition may time out due to network problems, and in this case, it can be determined whether the first device status information is not re-acquired for more than a second preset time period, wherein the first preset time period is less than the second preset time period.

[0129] If it is determined that the first device status information is not re-acquired within the second preset time period, the device offline information may be fed back to the voice entry device to avoid the user waiting for a long time.

[0130] In one embodiment of the present invention, when reacquiring the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device, the method further includes:

[0131] When the current first device status information of the smart home device is re-acquired from the smart home device, if the first device status information is not re-acquired for more than a preset number of times, the device offline information is fed back to the voice entry device.

[0132] In some feasible embodiments, when re-obtaining the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device, the acquisition may time out due to network problems; at this time, it can be determined whether the first device status information has not been re-obtained for more than a preset number of times.

[0133] If it is determined that the first device status information is not re-acquired within the second preset time period, the device offline information may be fed back to the voice entry device to avoid the user waiting for a long time.

[0134] For example, Figure 4 As shown, when waking up the voice entry device, it can be detected whether it has been more than 5 minutes since the first wake-up; if more, the smart home device is reactivated and the smart home device reports the device status information.

[0135] On the contrary, if it does not exceed, it can be determined whether the smart home device is in a cloud state and whether the cloud device is not offline and not real-time; if so, wait for a short time and then query again to obtain the latest device status information of the cloud device.

[0136] In actual applications, when using voice services, after waking up, you need to speak, convert voice to text, and understand the text intention. Only after knowing the user's intention can you determine whether to operate or query smart home devices, and then query the cloud devices. The multiple connections established in this process and the time-consuming business processing are definitely faster for the device to report its status once in the same wifi network environment. Of course, non-ideal situations must also be considered. For example, the smart home device is equipped with another wifi and the wifi network latency is particularly high, resulting in the voice service reaching the device query step. The status has not been reported to the cloud device. Therefore, the following additional operations are required:

[0137] After confirming that the user intends to query or control smart home devices, the voice service queries the IoT server for the device status information of the corresponding cloud device, and determines whether the difference between the last reported timestamp in the device status information and the current time is within the real-time threshold (generally 1.5 reporting intervals, for example, if the report is once every 30 seconds, the real-time threshold is 45 seconds). When the voice service finds that the difference exceeds the threshold, it will wait for a short time (500 milliseconds to 1 second) to query again. If the latest information is still not obtained, it will reply to the user "Device status query, please try again later". If the smart home device reports the status slowly due to network latency, the status can generally be checked when the voice function is used for the second time, unless the smart home device is offline (Briefly explain how the IoT server determines the offline of smart home devices. It will retry several times to let the device actively report the status, generally not more than 3 times. If the smart home device does not respond, it will be judged as offline. The expected time for this process is 2.5 reporting intervals. During this time, it is inevitable to avoid the voice reply "querying device status" and cannot directly reply "device offline")

[0138] In the embodiment of the present invention, in response to the device wake-up instruction of the voice entry device, the smart home device is woken up; at a preset time interval, the current first device status information of the smart home device is continuously obtained from the smart home device; when the duration of obtaining the current first device status information of the smart home device from the smart home device continues for a preset duration, the current first device status information of the smart home device is stopped from being obtained from the smart home device; according to the latest first device status information currently obtained, the device status information of the cloud device is updated; in response to the information acquisition instruction of the voice entry device, the current second device status information of the cloud device is determined, and the second device status information is fed back to the voice entry device. Through the embodiment of the present invention, the load of the Internet of Things server can be reduced while maintaining the real-time status of the smart home device.
