Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of gateway bases, and specifically refers to a combined intelligent base with a gateway and a control method. Background Art

[0002] Smart home terminals combine traditional household appliances with information technologies such as the Internet and the Internet of Things, and through human-computer interaction, realize intelligent control of the home environment. Smart home terminals in a residence generally adopt an in-wall installation type, including an installation box and a control panel. The installation box is embedded in the wall body, and communication, power supply and other cables are arranged in the installation box. Then, the control panel with a screen or buttons is fixedly installed on the outer side of the installation box.

[0003] In the prior art, the base used to connect to the control panel is generally an installation box, and the installation box only serves as a fixed structure for installing the control panel, that is, the control panel and the installation box cannot be separated. The control panel has a screen, buttons, a communication module, etc. People hope that the control panel can be separated from the installation box and can be moved while controlling functions such as smart homes. However, the base in the prior art only serves as the structure of the installation box body and does not have functions such as communicating with the control panel and cooperating with each other. Therefore, the control panel needs to respond in real time to the control and status acquisition of the smart home. After the control panel leaves the base, the base cannot cooperate with the control panel in functions, thereby reducing the power consumption of the control panel; and, after the base is combined with the control panel, the base and the surrounding wall bodies will block the back of the control panel, greatly attenuating the signal radiated by the antenna of the control panel, making it difficult to access the network.

[0004] Designing a combined intelligent base with a gateway and a control method for the problems existing in the above prior art is the purpose of the research of the present invention. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the problems existing in the above prior art, the present invention provides a combined intelligent base with a gateway and a control method, which can effectively solve at least one of the problems existing in the above prior art.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A combined intelligent base with a gateway, the base includes a first communication module, a first main control module, a first gateway, and a first antenna, and the first main control module is connected to the first communication module and the first gateway; The base is used to be combined with or split from a corresponding control panel; After the base is combined with the control panel, the base performs: sending a transfer addition instruction of a sub-device in the smart home system to the control panel; when the first main control module receives the control signal through the first communication module in response to a control signal sent by the cloud, the first main control module forwards the control signal to the control panel to control the control panel to send the control signal to the smart home system; After the base is split from the control panel, the base performs: generating a transfer addition instruction and sending it to the first gateway, transferring the smart home system to the terminal list of the first gateway, connecting the first communication module to the Internet; when the control panel sends a control signal, after the first main control module receives the control signal from the cloud through the first communication module, it is sent to the smart home system through the first gateway and the first antenna.

[0007] Further, the base includes a first connection module for connecting to the control panel and for judging the connection state between the control panel and the base.

[0008] Further, the first connection module includes a comparator 2U1. The positive electrode of the comparator 2U1 is connected to the series connection point of a resistor 2R2 and a capacitor 2C2. The resistor 2R2 and the capacitor 2C2 are connected in series between VCC and GND. The negative electrode of the comparator 2U1 is connected to the series connection point of a resistor 2R3 and a resistor 2R4. The resistor 2R3 and the resistor 2R4 are connected in series between VCC and GND. The output end of the comparator 2U1 is connected to the first main control module; The positive electrode of the comparator 2U1 is used to connect to the control panel. When the output level of the comparator 2U1 has a falling edge and is at a low level, the first main control module determines that the control panel is installed on the base.

[0009] Further, before sending a transfer addition instruction of a sub-device in the smart home system to the control panel, it performs: transmitting the node information and status information in the smart home system to the control panel through the first main control module; Before generating a transfer addition instruction and sending it to the first gateway, it performs: receiving the transmission of the node information and status information in the smart home system sent by the control panel through the first main control module.

[0010] Further, after the base is combined with the control panel, the first main control module and the control panel are connected by wire, and the first main control module receives in real time the node information and status information in the smart home system sent by the control panel.

[0011] Further, after the base is disassembled from the control panel and a transfer and addition instruction for a sub-device in the smart home system is generated, the first main control module sends a low-power mode instruction to the control panel through the first communication module to control the second gateway and the second antenna of the control panel to enter the low-power mode.

[0012] Further, after the base is disassembled from the control panel and the sub-devices in the smart home system are transferred to the terminal list of the first gateway, the following operations are performed: the control panel is added to the terminal list of the first gateway as a sub-device through the first main control module, and a heartbeat signal sent by the control panel is received.

[0013] Further, the base is provided with a button, and the button is connected to the first main control module. After the base is disassembled from the control panel, the first main control module sends the control signal sent by the button to the smart home system through the first gateway and the first antenna.

[0014] A control method for a combined smart base with a gateway The base is provided with a gateway, and the method includes: After the base is combined with the control panel, the base performs: sending a transfer and addition instruction for a sub-device in the smart home system to the control panel, and when a control signal is sent by the cloud, after the base receives the control signal, the base forwards the control signal to the control panel to control the control panel to send the control signal to the smart home system; After the base is disassembled from the control panel, the base performs: generating a transfer and addition instruction and sending it to the gateway of the base, transferring the smart home system to the terminal list of the gateway of the base, connecting the base to the Internet, and when a control signal is sent by the control panel, after the base receives the control signal from the cloud, the base sends it to the smart home system through the gateway of the base.

[0015] Further, after the base is disassembled from the control panel and a transfer and addition instruction for a sub-device in the smart home system is generated, the base sends a low-power mode instruction to the control panel to control the control panel to turn off the antenna and gateway of the control panel.

[0016] Therefore, the present invention provides the following effects and / or advantages: In the present invention, a first gateway and a first antenna are provided on the base. In two states where the control panel is detached from and combined with the base, the base generates a transfer and addition instruction to the control panel or the first gateway, enabling sub-devices in the smart home system to be registered under corresponding modules, and through the network path of the corresponding control signal, the functions of detachable and combinable base and control panel can be achieved.

[0017] After the base and the control panel are split in this application, the base adds the control panel as a sub-device of the first gateway, thereby disconnecting the communication between the second gateway and the smart home system. It is only necessary to receive the heartbeat signal sent by the control panel, and the control panel can be kept continuously online in a low-power mode. When the control panel and the base are combined, the control panel can be quickly connected to the smart home system.

[0018] In this application, after the control panel and the base are split, the base receives the control signal from the cloud. After the base receives the control signal, it sends it to the first gateway for distribution to the smart home system.

[0019] The base of this application is provided with a button. The base can work independently after being detached from the control panel without relying on the control panel.

[0020] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in the following specification, and partly will be obvious from the specification, or will be understood by implementing the present invention. The objectives and other advantages of the present invention are achieved and obtained by the structures specifically pointed out in the specification and the drawings.

[0021] It should be understood that the above summary and the following detailed description of the present invention are exemplary and explanatory, and are intended to provide further explanation of the claimed invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] For the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand, the structure of the present invention will now be further described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: Reference Figure 1 , a combined intelligent base with a gateway, the base includes a first communication module, a first main control module, a first gateway, and a first antenna, and the first main control module is connected to the first communication module and the first gateway; The base is used to be combined or split with a corresponding control panel; After the base is combined with the control panel, the base executes: sending a transfer and addition instruction of a sub-device in the smart home system to the control panel, and when the first main control module receives the control signal through the first communication module in response to a control signal sent by the cloud, the first main control module forwards the control signal to the control panel to control the control panel to send the control signal to the smart home system; After the base is split from the control panel, the base executes: generating a transfer and addition instruction and sending it to the first gateway, transferring the smart home system to the terminal list of the first gateway, connecting the first communication module to the Internet, and when the control panel sends a control signal, after the first main control module receives the control signal from the cloud through the first communication module, it is sent to the smart home system through the first gateway and the first antenna.

[0028] In this embodiment, the control panel includes a second communication module, a second main control module, a second gateway, and a second antenna, and the second main control module is connected to the second communication module and the second gateway. Moreover, what is protected in this application is the base, and the specific structure of the control panel is not limited here. In the description process of this embodiment, the above modules of the control panel are used for explanation.

[0029] In this embodiment, the control panel and the base can be connected through a detachable connection structure. After the control panel is connected to the base, the control panel can block the space on the outer side of the base facing the wall, thereby affecting the antenna signal of the base and making it difficult to communicate with the outside world. The control panel can be a smart screen, which belongs to an intelligent display device and is usually used for home entertainment and smart home control, and can control the smart home through the interface on the control panel.

[0030] Preferably, the split-type smart home terminal is mainly divided into two parts: a base and a control panel, which are connected by thimble and contact methods respectively. Since both the base and the control panel of the present invention have main control modules, the number of thimbles and contacts can be significantly reduced. Taking the I2C communication between main control chips as an example, the I2C communication signal requires two signal connection lines, one connection line for power supply and ground respectively, plus one connection line for detection and judgment. Therefore, the number of thimbles and contacts can be reduced to 5 to meet the product requirements. In addition, the base part is required to extend at least 5 mm outside the wall to facilitate the radiation of the antenna signal of the base.

[0031] Among them, the first communication module and the second communication module can access the Internet to provide network services for the main control module, so as to upload or download control signals. The gateway is mainly responsible for controlling and coordinating the sub-nodes and forwarding the corresponding data information, etc. In this embodiment, gateways are provided both in the base and the control panel, and the main control module can control one of the gateways to register and access / transfer / disconnect the sub-devices in the smart home system.

[0032] This embodiment is described by taking a smart home system based on zigbee as an example. Specifically, during initialization, the control panel and the base are connected and embedded in the wall. At this time, since the first gateway is inside the base, the signal of the first antenna is blocked by the control panel and becomes very poor and cannot radiate. Therefore, the first gateway only connects and synchronizes data with the second gateway and the second main control module in a wired manner (such as the I2C or UART bus form), and is not in the wireless zigbee network. All the other sub-devices (S1, S2, S3... Sn) etc. are added under the second gateway. For example, when the sub-device S2 is ready to be added to the wireless zigbee network, the process of adding the device is as follows: by operating the main interface of the device or the APP, the second gateway is enabled to start the zigbee network access. After S2 is powered on, it will send an access request to the second gateway. After the device information is confirmed, S2 is added to the zigbee network. At this time, the second gateway synchronizes the data to the second main control module. On the one hand, the second main control module transmits the data of S2 to the router through the second communication module, and finally updates the information in the cloud; on the other hand, the second main control module sends the data of S2 to the first main control module in a wired manner, and then the first main control module transmits it to the first gateway, so that the first gateway also completes the data update and synchronization of the sub-node about S2.

[0033] After the control panel is split from the base, the second main control module in the control panel and the first main control module in the base respectively detect their separation. At this time, the second gateway does not immediately enter the sleep state. Instead, it needs to collect the latest sub-node data and transmit it to the second main control module, and control the second gateway to open the ZigBee network. The second main control module processes the latest sub-node data, and transmits the updated latest sub-node data to the cloud through the wireless second communication module via the router. Then, the cloud issues the latest sub-node data and information to the first main control module through the first communication module of the base via the router. After receiving the data, the first main control module processes and transmits it to the first gateway to update the data. Then, the base generates a transfer and addition instruction and sends it to the first gateway to add the sub-device to the first gateway, and controls the first gateway to initiate an access request. The second gateway sends an access request to the first gateway, and replaces the second gateway after successful access, updates and synchronizes the network information. After the second gateway confirms that the network formation update of the first gateway is completed, it sends a deep sleep request to the second main control module. After the second main control module confirms that the handshake is completed, the second gateway enters the low-power mode.

[0034] As Figure 2 shown, Figure 2 the thick lines in it represent the passing paths of the control signals. The sub-node data under the network controlled by the first gateway is transmitted to the first main control module through the first gateway. After the first main control module finishes processing, it transmits the information to the router through the first communication module (such as an Ethernet module) and finally reaches the cloud for synchronization. If you want to control the sub-device S2 under the first gateway on the control panel, after clicking on the screen of the control panel to set the status of S2, the data is processed by the second main control module and then transmitted to the router and then to the cloud through the second communication module. After the cloud responds, it issues information that passes through the router and the first communication module to reach the first main control module. After the first main control module processes it, it is transmitted to S2 through the first gateway to perform the corresponding actions.

[0035] Moreover, after the control panel and the base are split, the control panel may be in different rooms, states, etc. In this case, the network environment where the control panel is located is more complex and unstable, while the base is fixedly set at a certain position and its network environment is single and stable. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first gateway of the base is used to access the smart home system, and the control signals sent by the control panel are sent to the base through the cloud, and the base sends control signals to the smart home, which can more stably and quickly achieve the control or status acquisition of the smart home.

[0036] After the control panel is installed on the base, at this time, the control panel and the base are combined. The base sends a transfer and addition instruction of the sub-devices in the smart home system to the control panel, enabling the control panel to take over the sub-devices in the smart home system, and at the same time, the base transfers the sub-devices in the smart home system.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the second main control module and the first main control module first detect the interrupt signal respectively, the first gateway transmits all the sub-node data to the first main control module and opens the network, and the first main control module transmits the updated data to the second main control module through a wired connection, such as the I2C protocol, after data processing, and the other side passes through the first communication module and the router and then transmits it to the cloud. After receiving the sub-node data, the second main control module first wakes up the second gateway, then transmits the information to the second gateway to update the data, and asks the second gateway to open the network access application. The second gateway initiates a network access request to the first gateway. At this time, since the two devices are very close, even if the wireless signal of the first gateway is very poor, it can still be captured by the second gateway. Therefore, when the network access is successful, the second gateway replaces the first gateway and updates the network information. When the second gateway network update is completed, the first gateway can still receive the update information of the sub-nodes under the network under the jurisdiction of the second gateway in a wired form.

[0038] In addition, after the control panel is installed on the base, when a mobile phone or other smart terminal sends a control signal to the cloud, since the base is in a fixed position, the first communication module of the base can access the Internet in a wired manner. Therefore, this embodiment configures the base to uniformly receive the control signals sent from the cloud, and after receiving the control signals, the base forwards the control signals to the second main control module, and the second main control module sends the control signals to the smart home system.

[0039] The control panel and base are combined, and the base can provide power supply and charging for the control panel. Figure 3 The thick line in the figure is the path of the control signal. When the control signal is initiated through the buttons or touch screen of the control panel, the control signal directly reaches the smart home system through the second gateway.

[0040] Furthermore, the base includes a first connection module, and the first connection module is used to connect with the control panel and to determine the connection status between the control panel and the base.

[0041] Furthermore, the first connection module includes a comparator 2U1, a positive electrode of the comparator 2U1 is connected to a series connection of a resistor 2R2 and a capacitor 2C2, the resistor 2R2 and the capacitor 2C2 are connected in series between VCC and GND, a negative electrode of the comparator 2U1 is connected to a series connection of a resistor 2R3 and a resistor 2R4, the resistor 2R3 and the resistor 2R4 are connected in series between VCC and GND, and an output end of the comparator 2U1 is connected to the first main control module; The positive electrode of the comparator 2U1 is used to be connected to the control panel. When the output level of the comparator 2U1 has a falling edge and is at a low level, the first main control module determines that the control panel is installed on the base.

[0042] This embodiment is described with a second connection module provided on the control panel. The second connection module includes a resistor 1R1. After the second connection module is connected to the first connection module, the resistor 1R1 is connected between the positive electrode of the comparator 2U1 and GND, and the second main control module is connected to the positive electrode of the comparator 2U1; When the output level of the comparator 2U1 has a falling edge and is at a low level, the first main control module determines that the control panel is installed on the base.

[0043] The circuit diagrams of the first connection module and the second connection module can be referred to Figure 4 . When the control panel and the base are combined, and the main body and the base are connected together, the main paths of the current in the detection circuit are: VCC → 2R2 → 1R1 → GND, VCC → 2R3 → 2R4 → GND. At this time, VP1_M1 = VP2 = VCC * 1R1 / (2R2 + 1R1) and the negative input voltage V2U1- of the comparator 2U1 = VCC * 2R4 / (2R3 + 2R4) can be obtained. It can be seen that the interrupt signal P1_M1 and the P2 signal are at the same level, and the voltage value is jointly affected by the power supply voltage VCC, 1R1, and 2R2. Typically, the power supply voltage VCC is taken as 3.3V, 1R1:2R2 = 1:1, 2R3:2R4 = 1:2, then VP1_M1 = VP2 = VCC * 1R1 / (2R2 + 1R1) = 1.65V, V2U1- = VCC * 2R4 / (2R3 + 2R4) = 2.2V. Since VP2_M2 < V2U1-, the comparator outputs a low-level signal, that is, the voltage amplitude is 0V. However, when the main body is disconnected from the base, that is, after P2 and P1_M1 are disconnected, analyzing the main body detection circuit, the voltage on 1C1 becomes the current passing through 1R1 to GND and is discharged, that is, the voltage quickly drops from VP1_M1 = 1.65V to 0V; analyzing the base circuit, at this time 2R2 cannot form a voltage-dividing resistor with 1R1, and the current charges 2C2 from VCC through 2R2. After the charging stops, VP2 rises to VCC, that is, VP2 = VCC = 3.3V. Since VP2 > V2U1-, the comparator outputs a high-level signal, that is, the voltage amplitude of VCC is 3.3V. This solution sets the base part detection circuit to be different from the main body detection circuit, which is considered for the power supply demand. Since the base power supply is converted from alternating current to direct current, the power consumption problem does not need to be considered under the allowable power supply scheme.

[0044] After the base and the control panel are combined, the resistor 1R1 plays a voltage dividing role to change the input voltage of the positive electrode of the comparator 2U1, thereby changing the comparison result P2_M2 of the comparator 2U1. At the same time, after the base and the control panel are combined, the divided voltage P1_M1 obtained by the resistor 1R1 is transmitted to the second main control module, and the comparison result P2_M2 of the comparator 2U1 is transmitted to the first main control module, so that the first main control module and the second main control module know that the base and the control panel are combined. When the base and the control panel are disassembled, the comparison result P2_M2 of the comparator 2U1 is reversed, and the divided voltage P1_M1 obtained by the resistor 1R1 disappears, so that the first main control module and the second main control module know that the base and the control panel are disassembled.

[0045] At the same time, P1_M1 and P2_M2 are respectively used as the interrupt signals of the first main control module and the second main control module. When the first main control module and the second main control module receive the interrupt signals, the tasks currently executed by the first main control module and the second main control module will be paused, and the transfer work of the sub-devices in the smart home system will be carried out instead. After the transfer work is completed, the tasks paused before will be resumed.

[0046] Further, before sending the transfer addition instruction of the sub-devices in the smart home system to the control panel, execute: transmit the node information and status information in the smart home system to the control panel through the first main control module; Before generating the transfer addition instruction and sending it to the first gateway, execute: receive the transmission of the node information and status information in the smart home system sent by the control panel through the first main control module.

[0047] Before transferring a sub-device in the smart home system from one gateway to another gateway, the node information and status information in the smart home system stored in the gateway to which it is transferred may be unupdated data. For example, in the disassembled state, the user deletes the smart home sub-device S1 through the first gateway and sets the status of the sub-device S3 to on. Before disassembling, the smart home connected to the second gateway includes S1, and the status of S3 at that time was off. At this time, if the node information and status information in the smart home system are not updated, the second gateway cannot know that S1 has been deleted and the status of S3 has changed after combination. Therefore, in this embodiment, before the operation of transferring the gateway, the node information and status information in the smart home system are transmitted first, so as to update the data in the corresponding gateway, so that after the gateway is registered and networked and the corresponding sub-devices are added in the updated state.

[0048] Further, after the base is combined with the control panel, the first main control module and the control panel are connected by wire, and the first main control module receives the node information and status information in the smart home system sent by the control panel in real time.

[0049] In this embodiment, after the base and the control panel are combined, the wireless signal between them attenuates and thus they cannot communicate, or the signal of the base embedded in the cavity is poor. Therefore, the first main control module and the second main control module can obtain the best communication state through wired connection. Moreover, after the base and the control panel are combined, the control panel is powered by the base, and the control panel does not need to consider the problem of low power consumption. Therefore, the second main control module synchronizes the node information and status information in the smart home system in real time and transmits them to the first main control module, which can enable the first main control module to update the node information and status information in the smart home system to the first gateway in real time. Thus, after the control panel and the base are split, the node information and status information in the smart home system stored in the base are already the latest version. At this time, the base only needs to enable the first gateway and transfer the smart home system to the terminal list of the first gateway, which can speed up the gateway switching and improve the response speed.

[0050] Further, after the base is split from the control panel and a transfer and addition instruction for a sub-device in the smart home system is generated, the first main control module sends a low-power mode instruction to the control panel through the first communication module to control the second gateway and the second antenna of the control panel to enter the low-power mode.

[0051] In this embodiment, controlling the second gateway and the second antenna of the control panel to enter the low-power mode means that after the base is split from the control panel and the sub-devices in the smart home system are transferred to the terminal list of the first gateway, the following is executed: adding the control panel as a sub-device to the terminal list of the first gateway through the first main control module and receiving the heartbeat signal sent by the control panel.

[0052] After the control panel is split from the base, the second main control module does not turn off the power of the second gateway and the second antenna, but instead, after transferring the sub-devices in the smart home system to the terminal list of the first gateway, the following is executed: adding the second gateway of the control panel as a sub-device to the terminal list of the first gateway, and the control panel periodically sends a heartbeat signal to the first gateway.

[0053] As Figure 5As shown, at this time, the first gateway is connected to the control panel. The control panel is a sub-device of the first gateway, and the control panel disconnects from the sub-devices of other smart home systems. The control panel does not need to regularly collect node data, status information, etc. of the sub-devices of the smart home system. The control panel only needs to regularly send a heartbeat signal to the first gateway to inform the first gateway that the control panel itself is in an active state. When the control panel is combined with the base, the control panel omits the process of powering on and registering the second gateway of the control panel to access the network. At this time, the second gateway can take over the sub-devices in the zigbee network faster.

[0054] Further, the base is provided with a button, and the button is connected to the first main control module. After the base is split from the control panel, the first main control module sends the control signal sent by the button to the smart home system through the first gateway and the first antenna.

[0055] In this embodiment, the base is provided with a button. After the base is separated from the control panel, the base can work independently. When the user operates the button, the base can send a control signal to the smart home system through the first gateway and the first antenna alone, changing the situation that the base of the traditional smart home control terminal can only support or install the control panel and cannot work independently.

[0056] Embodiment Two A control method for a combined smart base with a gateway The base is provided with a gateway, and the method includes: After the base is combined with the control panel, the base executes: sending a transfer and addition instruction of the sub-devices in the smart home system to the control panel. When responding to the control signal sent by the cloud, after the base receives the control signal, the base forwards the control signal to the control panel to control the control panel to send the control signal to the smart home system; After the base is split from the control panel, the base executes: generating a transfer and addition instruction and sending it to the gateway of the base, transferring the smart home system to the terminal list of the gateway of the base, connecting the base to the Internet. When responding to the control signal sent by the control panel, after the base receives the control signal from the cloud, it is sent to the smart home system through the gateway of the base.

[0057] Further, after the base is split from the control panel and generates a transfer and addition instruction of the sub-devices in the smart home system, the base sends a low-power mode instruction to the control panel to control the control panel to turn off the antenna and gateway of the control panel.
