Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of smart home technology, and in particular to a method, device, equipment and medium for controlling home appliances. Background Art

[0002] In a home environment, improper control of doors, windows, gas equipment, household appliances, and faucets can pose significant safety risks. For example, when no one is home, accidents such as doors and windows not being locked or gas equipment not being turned off can occur; or when the person at home has limited behavioral capacity (such as children or elderly people with dementia) and is unable to fully control home appliances.

[0003] Therefore, the safety hazards caused by improper control of home appliances have become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a home appliance control method, device, equipment and medium to address the above technical problems.

[0005] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling a home appliance, which is applied to a control appliance. The method includes:

[0006] The control device sends a detection instruction to a plurality of preset home appliances when the wireless communication connection with all preset user devices is disconnected, so that each of the home appliances performs a safety detection; and

[0007] After each of the household appliances passes the security inspection, the control device locks the use authority of each of the household appliances;

[0008] The control device determines a target security level corresponding to at least one user equipment when establishing a wireless communication connection with the at least one user equipment; and

[0009] The control device unlocks the use permission of the first home appliance that matches the target security level; wherein different security levels unlock different home appliances.

[0010] An embodiment of the present application provides a home appliance control device, which is applied to control a device; the device includes:

[0011] a safety detection module, configured to, when the control device has disconnected the wireless communication connection with all preset user devices, send a detection instruction to a plurality of preset home appliances, so as to cause each of the home appliances to perform a safety detection; and

[0012] An authority locking module, configured to lock the use authority of each of the household appliances by the control device after each of the household appliances passes the security check;

[0013] a level determination module, configured for determining, when the control device establishes a wireless communication connection with at least one user device, a target security level corresponding to the at least one user device; and

[0014] The permission unlocking module is used for the control device to unlock the use permission of the first home appliance that matches the target security level; wherein different security levels correspond to unlocking different home appliances.

[0015] An embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and when the processor executes the computer program, the steps of the home appliance control method provided in any embodiment of the present application are implemented.

[0016] An embodiment of the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of the home appliance control method provided in any embodiment of the present application are implemented.

[0017] The embodiments of the present application provide a home appliance control method, apparatus, device, and medium, wherein the method is applied to a control device, including: when the control device disconnects the wireless communication connection with all preset user devices, sending a detection instruction to a plurality of preset home appliances, so that each home appliance performs a security check; and after each home appliance passes the security check, the control device locks the use permission of each home appliance; when the control device establishes a wireless communication connection with at least one user device, determining the target security level corresponding to at least one user device; and, the control device unlocks the use permission of a first home appliance that matches the target security level; wherein different security levels correspond to unlocking different home appliances.

[0018] This technical solution provides two different control strategies for the two scenarios of no one at home and someone at home. Among them, when no one is at home, that is, when the control device and all user devices are disconnected from the wireless communication connection, it is possible to control each home appliance to conduct a security check in a timely manner, and after the security check passes, lock the use rights of each home appliance to prevent accidental triggering of the home appliance, thereby improving the security of the home appliance. When there is someone at home, that is, when the control device establishes a wireless communication connection with at least one user device, it is possible to determine the target security level of the user at home, unlock the use rights of the first home appliance that matches the target security level, and perform hierarchical management of home appliances with potential safety hazards at home, thereby improving the security and accuracy of home appliance management. Therefore, the use of this disclosure can improve the comprehensiveness and real-time control of home appliances and improve the security of the home environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a network architecture for controlling home appliances in one embodiment;

[0020] Figure 2 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a household appliance in one embodiment;

[0021] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a home appliance control device in one embodiment;

[0022] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device in an embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0024] In the home, improper control of household appliances can pose significant safety risks. For example, leaving doors and windows unlocked could allow criminals to break in and steal. Failing to turn off gas valves or electrical appliances before leaving home could cause a fire due to aging or short circuits. Forgetting to turn off faucets or washing machines could lead to water accumulation in the home, potentially causing a flood. Currently, manual security measures are the primary means of addressing these safety risks. However, this significantly increases the burden on users and fails to ensure comprehensive, timely, and accurate inspections.

[0025] In response to the above security issues, in order to improve the security of smart homes, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, apparatus, device, and medium for controlling home appliances.

[0026] In order to better understand the home appliance control method, device, equipment and medium disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the network architecture applicable to the embodiments of the present disclosure is described below. Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a network architecture disclosed in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0027] exist Figure 1 The network architecture may include user devices, home appliances, and control devices. User devices may be devices used by users at home to manage home appliances and control devices, such as smartphones, smart wearable devices, and computers.

[0028] The control device can be a central control device in the home control scene with functions such as device collaboration, data processing, scene linkage and user interaction, such as a smartphone, personal computer, tablet computer, smart speaker and smart gateway.

[0029] In practical applications, the user device and the control device are two different devices, and the device types can be the same or different. For example, the user device and the control device are both smartphones, where user device A is smartphone A and control device B is smartphone B, where smartphones A and B are two different mobile phones. Alternatively, the user device and the control device are two different devices, where the user device is a smartphone and the control device is a smart gateway. Of course, the above are only examples, and users can flexibly configure them according to their actual needs, and this is not a limitation.

[0030] Smart homes can include various smart control home devices such as electric curtains, smart lights, floor heating control equipment, air conditioners, water treatment equipment, gas management equipment, security monitoring, etc.

[0031] In this embodiment, the control device is connected to multiple user devices and multiple home appliances via wireless communication. The wireless communication connection may be Bluetooth, WiFi, ZigBee, Z-Wave, etc., which are not limited here. For example, the control device is connected to the user devices via Bluetooth, and the control device is connected to the home appliances via WiFi.

[0032] Specifically, user devices connect to control devices via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). In practical applications, BLE devices spend most of their time in sleep mode, waking up when an event occurs and requiring work. Once the work is complete, they return to sleep mode. This results in extremely low power consumption, allowing them to operate for months or even years on a single coin cell battery, making them ideal for IoT applications.

[0033] User devices and control devices use Bluetooth low energy to achieve the following effects:

[0034] Low latency: Bluetooth low energy connection speed is very fast, reaching millisecond-level connection speed;

[0035] Long distance: The communication distance can reach hundreds of meters, meeting the needs of most application scenarios;

[0036] Low cost: It operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band. Using this band does not require a license from the radio resource management authorities of various countries, thus reducing costs.

[0037] Strong anti-interference ability: frequency hopping is used to expand the spectrum, effectively resisting narrowband interference.

[0038] based on Figure 1The network architecture shown in FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a method for controlling home appliances. This method is applicable to smart home security scenarios and can be executed by a home appliance control device configured on a control device. This device can be implemented using software and / or hardware and integrated into the control device. To facilitate timely control and management of home appliances when users enter or exit their homes, this embodiment can include a control device located at the door.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the home appliance control method provided in this embodiment is applied to a control device, and the method may include the following steps:

[0040] S102: When the wireless communication connection with all preset user devices is disconnected, the control device sends a detection instruction to a plurality of preset home appliances, so that each home appliance performs a safety detection.

[0041] In this embodiment, a user device or an application installed on the user device can establish a wireless communication connection with the control device via Bluetooth Low Energy. When a family member leaves home, the distance between the user device used by the family member and the control device exceeds the communication range, and the wireless communication connection between the control device and the user device is disconnected.

[0042] Therefore, when the control device loses wireless communication with all user devices, it means that no one is home. When no one is home, it is necessary to perform safety checks on various household devices, such as checking whether door locks, gas equipment and faucets are properly closed, to avoid unexpected safety accidents.

[0043] Based on this, the control device in this embodiment can, in response to disconnecting the wireless communication connection with all user devices, send a detection instruction to multiple home appliances connected to it, so that each home appliance performs a safety check. Among them, the safety check of the home appliances can refer to the following examples.

[0044] Detecting whether the door lock is properly closed: Door locks can be equipped with sensors to detect whether the door is closed or not, such as magnetic sensors, Hall effect sensors, and pressure sensors. For example, magnetic sensors can be installed on the door frame and door leaf, respectively. When the door is closed, the two come into close proximity, and the magnetic field triggers the sensor, closing the circuit. When the door is open, the magnetic field disappears, disconnecting the circuit. Based on this, the door lock determines whether the door is properly closed by detecting the circuit status and notifies the user through an app, voice, or light.

[0045] Detect whether the gas is closed normally; specifically, the gas sensor can be used to detect whether the gas valve is open or closed.

[0046] Detect whether the smart light is turned off; specifically, the current / voltage can be monitored in real time by the internal circuit to determine the on / off status of the smart light; or, the smart light maintains a heartbeat connection with the control device through protocols such as Wi-Fi, and when the smart light is turned on or off, the on / off status will be marked accordingly.

[0047] The control device sends a detection instruction to a plurality of preset home appliances, and each home appliance performs a safety detection respectively; then, the method provided in this embodiment may further include:

[0048] The control device receives the security detection results fed back by each home appliance; if the security detection results of each home appliance are normal, the security detection results sent by each user device are recorded; if the security detection result of at least one home appliance is abnormal, the security detection result is sent to each user device using a preset reminder method.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the safety detection results of each home appliance are normal, the safety detection results of each home appliance can be recorded so that the user can check the current status of the home appliance at any time.

[0050] In one embodiment, the control device may further send the security detection result to each user device in a preset reminder manner, for example, sending a security detection result indicating no abnormality to the home device in a pop-up window and green font.

[0051] In this embodiment, if the security check result of at least one home device is abnormal, the security check result can be sent to each user device using a preset reminder method. Compared to the reminder method used when there is no abnormality, the reminder method used in this embodiment for abnormal situations is more intensive. For example, at least two of the following reminder methods can be used: pop-up window, red bold font, vibration, flashing light, and sound.

[0052] After a security detection result of at least one home appliance is abnormal and the security detection result is sent to each user device in a preset reminder manner, this embodiment may include: the control device determines whether a control instruction sent by any user device to a second home appliance is received within a preset time; wherein the second home appliance is the home appliance for which the security detection result is abnormal; if so, controlling the second home appliance according to the control instruction; if not, controlling the second home appliance to enter a preset safety state.

[0053] Specifically, the home appliance with an abnormal security detection result is used as the second home appliance; the control device sends the abnormal security detection result of the second home appliance to the user device, so that the user can view the security detection result on the user device and control the second home appliance.

[0054] Then, the control device determines whether a control instruction sent by any user device to the second home appliance is received within a preset time (such as 30 seconds). If not, it means that the user may not have viewed the security detection result in time; in this case, the control device can automatically control the second home appliance to enter a preset safety state. It can be understood that different home appliances have different preset safety states. For example, the safety state corresponding to the door lock is the closed state; the safety state corresponding to the gas appliance is the valve closed state; the safety state corresponding to the kettle is the power-off state; for situations such as raising chickens at home that require a constant temperature environment, the safety state corresponding to the heat lamp used is to keep it on; the safety state corresponding to the camera is on; and so on. I will not list them one by one here. Users can pre-set the appropriate safety state for each home appliance according to actual conditions.

[0055] If the control device receives a control instruction sent by the user device to the second home device within a preset time, the control device controls the second home device according to the control instruction, so that the second home device enters a safe state under the control of the user, avoiding possible safety problems.

[0056] S104: After each home appliance passes the security inspection, the control device locks the use authority of each home appliance.

[0057] In this embodiment, if the safety check of each home appliance is normal, or if the control device controls each home appliance with an abnormality to enter a safe state, it can be determined that the safety check of each home appliance has passed. Then, the control device locks the use permission of each home appliance.

[0058] It's important to note that locking access to home devices doesn't shut them down; rather, it keeps them secure. Users without permission won't be able to use them without verification. By locking access to each device, you can prevent accidental triggering and potentially dangerous situations.

[0059] S106: The control device determines a target security level corresponding to the at least one user equipment when establishing a wireless communication connection with the at least one user equipment.

[0060] In this embodiment, when at least one family member is at home and the distance between the user device used by the family member and the control device is within the communication range, a wireless communication connection is established between the control device and the user device. In some households, some special family members (such as children, the elderly, and people with intellectual disabilities) may not be able to fully control all home devices. For example, a child may be able to control the lights in the house but not the gas appliances.

[0061] To address the above situation, this embodiment can set different security levels for user devices used by different users. The higher the security level, the more home devices they have access to. For example, children have a lower security level and are granted access to some home devices, while adults have a higher security level and are granted access to all home devices.

[0062] Furthermore, the control device determines a target security level corresponding to the at least one user equipment when establishing a wireless communication connection with the at least one user equipment. The implementation of this embodiment refers to the following content.

[0063] When a wireless communication connection is established with at least one user device, the number of connected user devices is determined; when there is only one user device connected, the preset security level of the connected user device is determined as the target security level; when there are at least two user devices connected, the highest security level among the security levels of each connected user device is determined as the target security level.

[0064] In a specific embodiment, after establishing a wireless communication connection with the user device, the control device can obtain the Bluetooth MAC address of the user device; each user device is assigned a unique Bluetooth MAC address, which is used as a unique hardware identifier of the user device; the Bluetooth MAC address is usually represented by a 12-digit hexadecimal number.

[0065] When the control device and the user device establish Bluetooth communication, the control device can identify the user device through the Bluetooth MAC address and obtain the security level preset by the user device.

[0066] If there is only one user device connected, the security level of the user device may be directly determined as the target security level.

[0067] If there are multiple user devices connected, the highest security level can be determined as the target security level, so that the user can have usage rights for more home devices and can control the use of more home devices.

[0068] S108: The control device unlocks the usage permission of the first home appliance that matches the target security level; different security levels unlock different home appliances.

[0069] This embodiment may include: the control device determining a first home device that matches the target security level according to a preset correspondence between different security levels and different home devices; and unlocking the use permission of the first home device.

[0070] For example, assuming the target safety level is a lower safety level for children, based on the corresponding relationship, it is determined that the first home appliances that match the lower target safety level for children are part of the home appliances in child protection mode. The access permissions of these first home appliances are unlocked, allowing the child to control and use these first home appliances. For example, when the child returns home, some of the first home appliances are unlocked, such as the access permissions for lights and faucets, but the access permissions for gas appliances and windows remain locked.

[0071] Assuming that the target security level is the highest security level corresponding to a normal adult, based on the corresponding relationship, it is determined that the first home devices that match the higher target security level of adults are all home devices, and the usage rights of all the first home devices are unlocked, allowing adults to control and use all the first home devices in the home.

[0072] This embodiment differentiates the security levels of user devices used by different family members, and can perform hierarchical management of household devices with potential safety hazards in the home. This ensures that when no one is at home, accidents such as fire, theft, and water leakage caused by human error are reduced. It also ensures that when only children and other people with limited behavioral capacity are at home, they only have access to some household devices, avoiding safety issues caused by misoperation, improving the safety of the home environment, and reducing loss of life and property to users.

[0073] Based on the above embodiments, the home appliance control method provided by the present disclosure may further include:

[0074] The control device receives status change information sent by the home device; determines whether there is a security risk based on the status change information; if so, sends a security alarm message to the user device.

[0075] Specifically, home appliances can detect their current state and compare it with their previous state to obtain state change information. For example, state change information detected by a door lock may include vibration amplitude, vibration duration, number of incorrect password entries, and number of incorrect fingerprint entries. State change information detected by a camera may include the appearance of an unfamiliar face that has not been registered, or the appearance of the same unfamiliar face multiple times.

[0076] The home device sends its detected status change information to the control device, which then determines whether the home device presents a security risk based on the status change information. For example, if the door lock vibration amplitude exceeds a preset threshold, the vibration duration exceeds a preset duration, and the door is not opened, there is a possibility that an unauthorized person may have forcibly pried the lock and damaged the door, posing a safety hazard to the occupants inside. In this case, a security risk is determined and a security alarm is sent to the user device, thereby remotely alerting the user, ensuring safety and improving the intelligence of the home.

[0077] In addition, if the user does not respond to the security alarm information, the control device can also automatically alarm to ensure safety.

[0078] In summary, the home appliance control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is applied to a control device, including: when the control device disconnects the wireless communication connection with all preset user devices, sending a detection instruction to a plurality of preset home appliances, so that each home appliance performs a security detection; and after each home appliance passes the security detection, the control device locks the use permission of each home appliance; when the control device establishes a wireless communication connection with at least one user device, determining the target security level corresponding to at least one user device; and, the control device unlocks the use permission of a first home appliance that matches the target security level; wherein different security levels correspond to unlocking different home appliances.

[0079] This technical solution provides two different control strategies for the two scenarios of no one at home and someone at home. Specifically, when no one is at home, that is, when the control device has disconnected the wireless communication connection with all user devices, it can control each home appliance to conduct a security check in a timely manner, and after the security check passes, lock the access rights of each home appliance to prevent accidental triggering of the home appliance, thereby improving the security of the home appliance. When someone is at home, that is, when the control device establishes a wireless communication connection with at least one user device, it can determine the target security level of the user at home, unlock the access rights of the first home appliance that matches the target security level, and perform hierarchical management of home appliances with potential safety hazards at home, thereby improving the security and accuracy of home appliance management. Therefore, the use of this method can improve the comprehensiveness and real-time control of home appliances and improve the security of the home environment.

[0092] If not, the second home device is controlled to enter a preset safety state.

[0093] In one embodiment, the level determination module 230 is further configured to:

[0094] The control device determines the number of connected user equipment when establishing a wireless communication connection with at least one user equipment;

[0103] If yes, a security alarm message is sent to the user equipment.

[0104] In one embodiment, the control device is connected to the user device via Bluetooth; the control device is connected to the home device via WiFi.

[0105] The aforementioned home appliance control device provides two different control strategies for scenarios where no one is home and where someone is home. For scenarios where no one is home, meaning the control device has disconnected its wireless communication connection with all user devices, the device can control each home appliance to conduct a security check in a timely manner. Once the security check passes, the device's access permissions are locked to prevent accidental triggering of the home appliance, thereby improving the security of the home appliance. For scenarios where someone is home, meaning a wireless communication connection is established between the control device and at least one user device, the device can determine the target security level of the user at home and unlock the access permissions of the first home appliance that matches the target security level. This allows for hierarchical management of home appliances with potential safety hazards, improving the security and accuracy of home appliance management. Therefore, adopting this solution can improve the comprehensiveness and real-time control of home appliances and enhance the safety of the home environment.
