[0037] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the drawings. However, it should be noted that these embodiments are not limitations on the present invention. Any equivalent transformation or substitution in terms of function, method, or structure made by those of ordinary skill in the art based on these embodiments shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0038] With the continuous improvement of work requirements, the cleaning requirements for the ground and lawns are getting higher and higher. For this reason, intelligent devices are usually required to complete relevant cleaning operations. When the working area is large, only one intelligent device is used for operation, resulting in a long operation time and low operation efficiency, which is not conducive to the maintenance of the operation area and cannot meet the needs of users. The present invention provides an intelligent system control method that can enable multiple intelligent devices to work collaboratively for the above problems. The intelligent system includes at least a first intelligent device and a second intelligent device, where the intelligent device includes at least two. The first intelligent device and the second intelligent device work collaboratively. Among them, the intelligent device can be a ground cleaning device or a lawn cleaning device. Exemplarily, when the intelligent device is a lawn cleaning device, it can specifically be a self-propelled lawn mower, a push lawn mower, a riding lawn mower, a grass trimmer, etc. The first intelligent device communicates directly with the second intelligent device and / or through an access point. The first intelligent device and the second intelligent device store map information of part or all of the operation area. As Figure 1 shown, the control method includes:

[0039] In response to a task requirement, the first intelligent device and the second intelligent device operate at different positions.

[0040] In response to a scheduling requirement, the first intelligent device or the second intelligent device operates at a designated position.

[0041] Among them, the first intelligent device and the second intelligent device are devices of the same or different types.

[0042] Among them, the task requirements can be sourced from upper-layer releases, negotiated allocations, manual inputs, etc. Specifically, the server can complete the planning task, generate task requirements based on the working areas, times, contents, etc. of each intelligent device, and then publish the task requirements to each intelligent device. Each intelligent device moves to the designated location for operation according to the received task requirements; in an alternative solution, the task requirements can be negotiated and allocated by multiple intelligent devices according to their working capabilities to ensure the completion of the task; in other embodiments, the user can also specify the working content and working area; through the above solutions, the utilization rate of intelligent devices can be increased, work efficiency can be improved, and the achievement of requirements can be ensured.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, when the intelligent devices include devices of the same type, such as multiple self-propelled lawn mowers, since the self-propelled devices can work autonomously and their performances are basically similar, at this time, tasks can be allocated and planned through upper-layer devices such as user terminals and servers, and the allocated tasks are respectively sent to the corresponding self-propelled lawn mowers for operation; it can also be confirmed through the mutual communication of the self-propelled lawn mowers. Specifically, each self-propelled lawn mower includes map information of the operation area. Each self-propelled lawn mower can determine its own executable workload according to the battery level, etc., and then allocate the task volume through interaction, thereby giving full play to the working efficiency of each self-propelled lawn mower, realizing the full utilization of resources, and improving the resource utilization rate; in an alternative solution, the user can plan and allocate tasks through the user terminal, and the self-propelled lawn mower can operate according to the tasks planned in advance by the user, thereby reducing the communication burden in the interaction process of the self-propelled devices and improving the communication efficiency.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, when the intelligent device includes different types of devices, such as a self - propelled lawn mower and a non - self - propelled lawn mowing device, the non - self - propelled lawn mowing device is responsible for cleaning the lawn at the edge of the self - propelled lawn mower area in addition to completing the operation area indicated by the task requirements. Currently, due to limitations such as the accuracy of the lawn mower and physical obstacles, the self - propelled lawn mower device sometimes cannot meet the requirements of edge cutting. To improve the cutting quality, the non - self - propelled lawn mower can be used to assist, which can make the operation area more beautiful and provide a better user experience. In an alternative embodiment, the task allocation between the self - propelled lawn mower and the non - self - propelled lawn mowing device can be issued by the upper layer, or through negotiation, or through manual input, etc. The specific allocation planning method is similar to the process of cooperation among multiple self - propelled lawn mowers. The difference is that when the task is planned through manual input, in addition to planning and allocation through the user terminal, when the non - self - propelled lawn mowing device includes an operation module, the user can perform task planning and allocation on the operation module without borrowing other user terminals, thereby improving the convenience of user operation. Among them, the non - self - propelled lawn mowing device can be a push - type lawn mower, a riding lawn mower, a weed trimmer, etc.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, in response to the task suggestion requirement of the first intelligent device, the second intelligent device determines the operation area according to the task suggestion requirement.

[0046] And / or, in response to the task suggestion requirement of the second intelligent device, the first intelligent device determines the operation area according to the task suggestion requirement.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, when the first intelligent device and / or the second intelligent device detects a non - workable area, a task suggestion requirement is generated, and the task suggestion requirement is used to suggest other types of intelligent devices to perform operations.

[0048] In a specific embodiment, when a self-propelled lawn mower operates in a work area, in addition to the area edge scenarios, it also includes special scenarios such as thick grass, isolated islands, narrow paths, etc. In these scenarios, the self-propelled lawn mower generally requires special coping strategies to meet the operation requirements, which may lead to a decrease in operation efficiency. Seriously, it may cause multiple round-trip rolling of the lawn, damaging the beauty of the lawn. Therefore, when the self-propelled lawn mower discovers unsuitable work areas such as thick grass, isolated islands, narrow paths, edges, etc., it can issue a task suggestion requirement for scheduling other devices, such as non-self-propelled lawn mowing devices, to perform the operation. In an alternative embodiment, the task suggestion requirement may include the device information of the other device to improve the device scheduling efficiency. In an alternative embodiment, the task suggestion requirement does not include the device information of the other device, but only includes scenario information, such as the identifier and feature information of the unsuitable work area. The feature information is used to indicate that the work area is thick grass, isolated island, narrow path, edge, etc., and appropriate devices are scheduled for operation according to the task suggestion requirement.

[0049] In an alternative embodiment, when the scheduling of other devices cannot be completed, the self-propelled lawn mower can send a warning message to a user terminal or a server, etc., to mark the above-mentioned unsuitable work area, so that the user can handle it according to the actual situation, such as controlling the self-propelled lawn mower to start a targeted coping strategy for operation, or scheduling other devices for operation later, thereby ensuring the reliability of the operation.

[0050] Through the above solution, intelligent devices of the same or different types can obtain task assignments in various ways, realizing the autonomous division or planned division of the operation area. Then, the intelligent device operates within the area it is responsible for. Further, the intelligent device can also identify areas where operation is not recommended, such as unsuitable work areas, and based on the identification result, schedule other devices or issue a warning, effectively improving the working efficiency of multi-device coordination, with a higher degree of cooperation between devices, thereby improving the task completion efficiency and promoting the improvement of the user experience.

[0051] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the working area includes the operation areas corresponding to each intelligent device. In an alternative embodiment, the working area further includes a shared operation area, and no fixed intelligent device is designated for operation during task allocation; when each intelligent device operates in the allocated operation area, reallocation of the shared operation area is performed according to the operation progress of each intelligent device, which specifically includes: dividing the shared operation area into several sub-areas, the number of sub-areas being greater than 1, and allocating according to the remaining operation amount and working efficiency of each intelligent device, such as preferentially allocating sub-areas and / or a larger number of sub-areas to the intelligent device with less remaining operation amount; to ensure that each intelligent device is fully utilized and the operation time of the working area is shortened.

[0052] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, when the intelligent device identifies an unsuitable working area and gives an alarm, the unsuitable working area is marked as a key area, so that the user can perform re-task planning and allocation according to the key area and the shared operation area, which specifically includes: dividing the key area and the shared operation area into sub-areas, preferentially allocating intelligent devices to the sub-areas of the key area, and then configuring intelligent devices for the sub-areas of the shared operation area. While ensuring the task quality, multiple intelligent devices are fully utilized to coordinate and complete the operation, and the operation time is improved to enhance the user experience.

[0053] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes: obtaining the operation progress of the first intelligent device and the operation progress of the second intelligent device; determining the task scheduling requirements according to the operation progress, and the first intelligent device or the second intelligent device reallocates the operation area according to the task scheduling requirements. Specifically, it includes: regularly detecting the work progress and remaining workload of each intelligent device, and when the difference in the remaining workload of different intelligent devices is greater than a preset threshold, reallocating the remaining workload; in a further embodiment, when the remaining workload of the first intelligent device is N1 and the remaining workload of the second intelligent device is N2, where the remaining workload can be determined by the area of the remaining work area or the remaining working hours. For example, if the difference in the remaining area exceeds a predetermined value, where the predetermined value can be set to a value between 60 and 150 according to actual requirements, such as 60㎡, 70㎡, 80㎡, 100㎡, 120㎡, etc.; when the predetermined value is exceeded, reallocate the workload; in an alternative embodiment, when the difference in the remaining working hours exceeds a preset duration, the preset duration can be a value between 40 and 150 minutes, such as 40 minutes, 60 minutes, 80 minutes, 100 minutes, 120 minutes, etc., reallocate the workload. In a further embodiment, when the completion degree of the workload of any one of the intelligent devices reaches a preset value, the preset value can be a value between 60% and 90% of the completion degree, such as when the completion degree reaches 65%, 75%, 85%, etc., trigger the regular inspection of the work progress and remaining workload of each intelligent device, and then determine whether task reallocation is required according to the remaining workload.

[0054] The present invention effectively monitors the remaining workload, timely re-schedules and allocates tasks, improves the cooperation degree of multiple intelligent devices working together, and promotes the improvement of work efficiency.

[0055] When the task needs to be reallocated, the intelligent devices need to synchronize the tasks. The method further includes: determining the operation area information according to the task recommendation requirements;

[0056] Synchronize the operation area information to the second intelligent device or the first intelligent device so that the second intelligent device or the first intelligent device can perform operations according to the operation area information.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, when the self-propelled lawn mower discovers areas with thick grass, etc., it is recommended that other devices, such as a push lawn mower, perform the operation. At this time, the intelligent lawn mower needs to synchronize the operation area information, that is, the thick grass area information, to the push lawn mower.

[0058] To achieve secure information synchronization, when the first intelligent device communicates directly with the second intelligent device, the operation area information includes the map identifier of the operation area; that is, the first intelligent device, such as a self-propelled lawn mower, directly sends the map identifier of the operation area to the second intelligent device, such as a push lawn mower; since the above information synchronization occurs between two intelligent devices, and the two intelligent devices can know each other's identities based on the existing secure communication connection, therefore, mutual authentication is not required during direct communication, which can reduce the communication burden of the intelligent devices, improve the communication efficiency and the efficiency of information recognition.

[0059] When the first intelligent device communicates with the second intelligent device through an access point, the operation area information at least includes the map identifier of the operation area and the intelligent device identifier. Multiple intelligent devices, such as the first intelligent device being a self-propelled lawn mower and the second intelligent device being a push lawn mower, etc., can interact information through an access point, such as a home gateway, a charging pile, a user terminal, a cloud server, etc. Among them, the access point may be a single device or multiple devices, that is, the access point can be one of the third intelligent device, the charging device, the home device, the mobile terminal, the server, etc., or multiple of them.

[0060] As Figures 2 - 3 As shown, the intelligent devices in the present invention support multiple communication methods, such as Bluetooth, wifi, 4G, 5G, Lora, zigbee, etc. The intelligent devices establish network connections based on the above communication methods. For example, the self-propelled lawn mower supports Bluetooth, WiFi, and 4G communication methods, and the push lawn mower supports Bluetooth or 4G communication methods; the user uses the intelligent lawn mower to create a map, and the map will be synchronized to the cloud. At the same time, the user binds and associates the push lawn mower and the intelligent lawn mower in the APP to share the cloud map. When the user uses the push lawn mower to mow the lawn, the mowed area will be synchronized to the cloud map (default 4G communication, if it is Bluetooth communication, it will be uploaded to the cloud through the mobile APP), and the intelligent lawn mower will also synchronize the map information in real time to avoid the mowed area. When the intelligent robot is cutting, if it finds that a certain area is high grass or thick grass through the body camera and judges that it cannot be completely cut, it can automatically mark the area and synchronize it to the cloud. After the user receives the message on the APP side, they can use the push lawn mower to go to the marked position to locally cut the high grass or thick grass area.

[0061] In further embodiments, multiple smart devices may be controlled by multiple users. For multi-user, multi-device scenarios, all data is uploaded through a gateway or direct connection to the cloud; for example: direct connection to the cloud, such as WiFi, 4G and other protocols, the device can be directly connected to the cloud; devices with the help of gateways, such as Bluetooth, Lora, Zigbee and other protocols, these devices are connected to the gateway, and the gateway is connected to the cloud through WiFi and other methods. The administrator can view all device data on the PC or APP, and when any device fails, a message can be sent to the administrator in time. The administrator can view the usage of all devices on the PC or APP, including work data, abnormal information, etc., and can schedule the task volume according to actual needs.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, when a self-propelled lawn mower and a push lawn mower communicate through an access point, in order to ensure communication security, in addition to a map identifier, a device identifier is also provided in the work area information, so as to determine the information sender according to the device identifier, and determine the source of the information according to the information sender, so as to ensure the accuracy of the information source. In order to further ensure the security of communication, the map identifier and the device identifier can be separated, that is, before the self-moving lawn mower transmits the working area information through the access point, the self-moving lawn mower sends its device information to the hand-push lawn mower through the access point, and the hand-push lawn mower replies with confirmation information. After receiving the confirmation information, the self-moving lawn mower sends the working area information to the hand-push lawn mower directly or through the access point, wherein the working area information includes a map identifier; in an optional embodiment, the confirmation information includes the device identifier and / or network connection identifier of the hand-push lawn mower; when the confirmation information is a device identifier, the self-moving lawn mower establishes direct communication with the hand-push lawn mower to synchronize information; when the network connection identifier is included, the access point is determined according to the network connection identifier for transmission, and the network connection identifier can be the address of the access point. The confirmation information can be the information receiver, such as the hand-push lawn mower determines it according to the quality of the network it can access, so as to use a high-quality network connection for data transmission; establishing a network connection through the confirmation information can further improve the reliability of the network connection and improve the security of transmission.

[0063] Based on the control method described above, the present invention further provides an intelligent system, which at least includes a first intelligent device and a second intelligent device; the first intelligent device and the second intelligent device cooperate in operations; the first intelligent device communicates directly with the second intelligent device and / or communicates through an access point; the first intelligent device and the second intelligent device store map information of part or all of the operation area; the first intelligent device and the second intelligent device perform operations at different positions according to task requirements; the first intelligent device or the second intelligent device performs operations at a designated position according to scheduling requirements; wherein, the first intelligent device and the second intelligent device are devices of the same or different types.

[0064] Among them, the task requirements can be derived from upper-layer releases, or negotiated allocations, or manual inputs, etc. Specifically, the server can complete the planning task, generate task requirements based on the working area, time, content, etc. of each intelligent device, and then publish the task requirements to each intelligent device, and each intelligent device moves to the designated position according to the received task requirements for operation; in an alternative solution, the task requirements can be negotiated and allocated by multiple intelligent devices according to their working capabilities to ensure the completion of the task; in other embodiments, the user can also specify the working content and working area; through the above solutions, the utilization rate of intelligent devices can be improved, the work efficiency can be improved, and the achievement of requirements can be ensured.

[0065] In a further embodiment, the intelligent device can also monitor the operation progress, or monitor the operation progress by means of a user terminal, a charging device, a home device, a server, etc., so as to determine the task scheduling requirements according to the operation progress, and the first intelligent device or the second intelligent device reallocates the operation area according to the task scheduling requirements. Specifically, it includes: regularly detecting the work progress and remaining workload of each intelligent device, and when the difference in the remaining workload of different intelligent devices is greater than a preset threshold, reallocating the remaining workload; specifically including: when the remaining workload of the first intelligent device is N1 and the remaining workload of the second intelligent device is N2, where the remaining workload can be determined by the area of the remaining work area or the remaining working hours. For example, if the difference in the remaining area exceeds a predetermined value, the predetermined value can be set to 60㎡, 70㎡, 80㎡, 100㎡, 120㎡, etc. according to actual needs; when the preset value is exceeded, reallocate the workload; in an alternative embodiment, when the difference in the remaining working hours exceeds a preset duration, such as 40min, 60min, 80min, 100min, 120min, etc., reallocate the workload. In a further embodiment, when the workload completion degree of any one of the intelligent devices reaches a preset value, such as 65%, 75%, 85%, etc., trigger the regular inspection of the work progress and remaining workload of each intelligent device, and then determine whether it is necessary to reallocate tasks according to the remaining workload.

[0066] The present invention effectively monitors the remaining workload, timely re-schedules and allocates tasks, improves the cooperation degree of multiple intelligent devices working together, and promotes the improvement of work efficiency.

[0067] In a specific embodiment, when the intelligent devices include the same type of devices, such as multiple self-propelled lawn mowers, since the self-propelled devices can work autonomously and have basically similar performances, at this time, the upper-layer devices such as the user terminal and the server can be used to allocate and plan tasks, and the allocated tasks are respectively sent to the corresponding self-propelled lawn mowers for operation; it can also be confirmed through the mutual communication of the self-propelled lawn mowers. Specifically, each self-propelled lawn mower includes map information of the operation area. Each self-propelled lawn mower can determine its own executable workload according to the battery power, etc., and then allocate the task amount through interaction, so as to give full play to the working efficiency of each self-propelled lawn mower, realize the full utilization of resources, and improve the resource utilization rate; in an alternative solution, the user can plan and allocate tasks through the user terminal, and the self-propelled lawn mower can operate according to the tasks planned in advance by the user, thereby reducing the communication burden in the interaction process of the self-propelled devices and improving the communication efficiency.

[0068] In a specific embodiment, when the intelligent device includes different types of devices, such as a self-propelled lawn mower and a non-self-propelled lawn mowing device, in addition to completing the operation area indicated by the task requirements, the non-self-propelled lawn mowing device is also responsible for cleaning the lawn at the edge of the area of the self-propelled lawn mower. Currently, limited by factors such as the accuracy of the lawn mower and physical obstacles, the self-propelled lawn mower device sometimes cannot meet the requirements of edge cutting. To improve the cutting quality, the non-self-propelled lawn mower can be used to assist, which can make the operation area more beautiful and provide a better user experience. In an alternative embodiment, the task allocation between the self-propelled lawn mower and the non-self-propelled lawn mowing device can be published by the upper layer, or through negotiation, or through manual input, etc. The specific allocation planning method is similar to the process of cooperation among multiple self-propelled lawn mowers. The difference is that when the task is planned through manual input, in addition to planning and allocation through the user terminal, when the non-self-propelled lawn mowing device includes an operation module, the user can perform task planning and allocation on the operation module without borrowing other user terminals, thereby improving the convenience of user operation. Among them, the non-self-propelled lawn mowing device can be a push lawn mower, a riding lawn mower, a weed trimmer, etc.

[0069] In a specific embodiment, the access point includes at least one of a third intelligent device, a charging device, a home device, a mobile terminal, and a server.

[0070] To achieve information transmission between different devices, the first intelligent device can communicate directly with the second intelligent device. The operation area information includes a map identifier of the operation area. That is, the first intelligent device, such as a self-propelled lawn mower, directly sends the map identifier of the operation area to the second intelligent device, such as a push lawn mower. Since the above information synchronization occurs between two intelligent devices, and the two intelligent devices can know each other's identities based on the existing secure communication connection, there is no need to authenticate each other during direct communication, thereby reducing the communication burden of the intelligent device, improving the communication efficiency, and the information recognition efficiency.

[0071] Furthermore, when the first intelligent device communicates with the second intelligent device through an access point, the operation area information at least includes a map identifier of the operation area and an intelligent device identifier. Multiple intelligent devices, such as the first intelligent device being a self-propelled lawn mower and the second intelligent device being a push lawn mower, etc., can perform information interaction through an access point, such as a home gateway, a charging pile, a user terminal, a cloud server, etc. Among them, the access point may be a single device or multiple devices, that is, the access point can be one of a third intelligent device, a charging device, a home device, a mobile terminal, a server, etc., or multiple of them.

[0072] Through the solution provided by the present invention, the collaborative work of multiple identical or different types of devices can be achieved, the task planning can be carried out according to actual requirements, and the scheduling of specified devices can be performed for special scenarios, which not only improves the utilization rate of multiple intelligent devices, but also improves the work efficiency and quality. Further, through the secure communication between intelligent devices, the reliability of scheduling is effectively guaranteed and the communication efficiency is improved. Furthermore, the intelligent devices support multiple communication methods, which can not only achieve direct communication between devices, but also perform remote interactions with the help of other tools, household devices, user mobile terminals, servers and other devices, and at the same time provide reliable support for the remote monitoring of devices.
