[0047] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure.

[0048] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the steps of the corresponding methods are not necessarily performed in the order shown and described in this disclosure. In some other embodiments, the methods may include more or fewer steps than those described in this disclosure.

[0049] The remote control method provided in this disclosure is described below through specific embodiments and application scenarios. This method enables remote control of the target intelligent device by converting remote control messages sent by the terminal based on a data model defined by a first communication protocol into local control messages based on a data model defined by a second communication protocol running on the target intelligent device.

[0050] In implementation, the relay device can receive remote control messages sent by the terminal for a remote target smart device based on the first communication protocol; wherein, the remote control message is a message defined based on the data model of the first communication protocol;

[0051] Based on the mapping relationship between the data models of the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol running on the target intelligent device, the remote control message is converted into a local control message;

[0052] Based on the second communication protocol, the local control message is sent to the target smart device to enable the terminal to remotely control the target smart device.

[0053] Through the above embodiments, when the target smart device is running the second communication protocol instead of the first communication protocol, since the first communication protocol supports remote data transmission while the second communication protocol does not, the relay device can receive remote control messages sent by the terminal for the remote target smart device based on the first communication protocol. These remote control messages can be messages defined based on the data model of the first communication protocol. The relay device can convert the remote control messages into local control messages based on the mapping relationship between the data models of the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol running on the target smart device. Furthermore, it can send the local control messages to the target smart device based on the second communication protocol. This enables remote control of the target smart device by the terminal even when the target smart device is running the second communication protocol instead of the first, thus improving the user experience.

[0054] The present disclosure will now be described through specific embodiments and in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

[0055] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a system interaction diagram illustrating a remote control method according to an exemplary embodiment. (See diagram below.) Figure 1 As shown, since the second communication protocol running on the target smart device does not support remote communication, the terminal can establish remote communication with the cloud based on the first communication protocol running on the terminal. The cloud can establish remote communication with the relay device based on the first communication protocol. The relay device can establish local communication with the target smart device based on the second communication protocol running on the target smart device.

[0056] Based on this, the terminal can send remote control messages to the cloud for remote target smart devices. Since sending these remote control messages requires remote communication, the remote control messages can be messages defined based on the data model of the first communication protocol.

[0057] The cloud can receive the remote control message and forward it to the relay device, which can then receive the remote control message from the terminal. Since the remote control message is based on the data model of the first communication protocol, and the target smart device only supports the second communication protocol, it cannot parse and recognize the remote control message. In this case, the relay device can convert the remote control message according to the mapping relationship between the data models of the first and second communication protocols, transforming it into a local control message that the target smart device can parse and recognize; this local control message is based on the data model of the second communication protocol.

[0058] The relay device can communicate locally with the target smart device based on a second communication protocol, sending the local control message to the target smart device. Since the target smart device can parse and recognize this local control message, it can control the target smart device. This enables remote control of the target smart device by the terminal, improving the user experience.

[0059] The mapping relationship can be configured based on the correspondence between the data model of the first communication protocol and the data model of the second communication protocol; the data model can contain data for indicating the device type and device function of the target smart device.

[0060] The data model of the first communication protocol may include Model data and Module data; the Model data may be predefined and used to indicate the device type of the smart device running the second communication protocol; the Module data may include a module name and a module identifier and used to indicate the device functions included in the smart device.

[0061] The data model of the second communication protocol may include device type, device type identifier, functional cluster, and feature map data in the functional cluster; wherein, the functional cluster and the feature map data in the functional cluster can be used to indicate the device functions included in the smart device;

[0062] The Model data in the data model of the first communication protocol can correspond to the device type and device type identifier in the data model of the second communication protocol; the Module data in the data model of the first communication protocol can correspond to the functional cluster and Feature map data in the functional cluster in the data model of the second communication protocol.

[0063] The relay device can also receive local status messages reported by the target intelligent device based on the second communication protocol. The local status message can be a message defined by the data model of the second communication protocol. The relay device can convert the local status message into a remote status message according to the mapping relationship between the data models of the first and second communication protocols. The remote status message can be a message defined by the data model of the first communication protocol. The relay device can communicate remotely with the terminal based on the first communication protocol and send the remote status message to the terminal to realize the response of the target intelligent device to remote control.

[0064] The cloud can receive login user information sent by the terminal, as well as device information corresponding to the target smart device. The login user information is the login information of the user who logged into the terminal. The device information includes a device identifier. The device information is obtained by the terminal from the target smart device after establishing local communication with the target smart device based on the second communication protocol of the target smart device. Based on the login user information and the device identifier, a binding relationship between the user and the target smart device is established.

[0065] The device information may include device type and device function; the device information may be information corresponding to the data model of the second communication protocol; based on this, the cloud can also convert the device type and device function contained in the device information into target device type and target device function according to the mapping relationship between the data models of the first and second communication protocols running on the terminal; the target device type information and target device function information may be information corresponding to the data model of the first communication protocol.

[0066] The aforementioned cloud can send the target device type and target device function to the terminal, so that the terminal can pull the device plugin according to the target device type and target device function, and display the control options provided by the device plugin on the user interface; wherein, the target device type and target device function can be information corresponding to the data model of the first communication protocol; the device plugin can be adapted to the first communication protocol.

[0067] The target smart device can be one of the sub-devices included in the target agent device. Based on this, the cloud can receive login user information sent by the terminal, as well as device information corresponding to the target agent device. The device information includes the agent device identifier of the target agent device, and sub-device information of the sub-devices included in the target agent device. The sub-device information includes the sub-device information of the target smart device.

[0068] Specifically, the cloud platform can establish a binding relationship between a user and a target agent device based on the logged-in user information, a preset agent identifier, and an agent device identifier; and can establish a binding relationship between a user and a sub-device based on the logged-in user information, a preset agent identifier, an agent device identifier, and sub-device information; wherein the binding relationship includes the binding relationship between the user and the target smart device.

[0069] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a remote control method according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0070] like Figure 2 As shown, based on the first and second communication protocols in operation, the aforementioned relay equipment can perform the following steps:

[0071] Step 202: Based on the first communication protocol, receive a remote control message sent by the terminal for a remote target smart device; wherein the remote control message is a message defined based on the data model of the first communication protocol.

[0072] The relay device can be a gateway. This gateway can connect different devices on a local network (exemplarily, smart home devices, sensors, and control systems) to an external network or the Internet. In this disclosure, it can be used to process the conversion of control messages, ensuring that data can be correctly transmitted and processed.

[0073] The first communication protocol can be the Mi protocol, which supports remote communication. The second communication protocol can be the Matter protocol, and the target smart device can be a Matter device configured with the Matter protocol. The Matter protocol is an open standard developed by the CSA (Connectivity Standards Alliance) to unify the interoperability of smart home devices. Its goal is to improve the compatibility, reliability, and security of smart home devices, enabling smart devices from different manufacturers to work together.

[0074] Since the terminal establishes remote communication with the cloud based on the first communication protocol, and the cloud can establish remote communication with the relay device based on the first communication protocol, the terminal can generate a remote control message based on the first communication protocol. Based on the first communication protocol, the terminal can remotely send the remote control message for the remote target smart device to the cloud, and then send the remote control message to the relay device through the cloud. The relay device can receive the remote control message.

[0075] Step 204: Based on the mapping relationship between the data models of the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol running on the target smart device, the remote control message is converted into a local control message.

[0076] The data model of a protocol can refer to a standard that defines the structure, attributes, and relationships of data. It typically describes how data is represented and organized so that different systems or devices can understand and process it, thereby achieving interoperability. In this disclosure, the data model can refer to a standard that defines the structure, attributes, and relationships of control messages.

[0077] The specific details of this mapping relationship can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0078] In one embodiment shown, the mapping relationship is configured based on the correspondence between the data model of the first communication protocol and the data model of the second communication protocol; wherein the data model contains data for indicating the device type and device function of the target smart device.

[0079] Since the data model of the first communication protocol cannot be mapped one-to-one with the data model of the second communication protocol, the mapping relationship can be configured based on the relationship between the data models of the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol.

[0080] The specific mapping form of this mapping relationship may include one-to-one mapping, one-to-many mapping, many-to-one mapping, and many-to-many mapping, but this disclosure does not limit it.

[0081] The data model of the second communication protocol can include multiple device types and multiple device functions, while the first communication protocol can include at least one device type corresponding to the multiple device types and at least some of the device functions. In this case, the mapping relationship can be a many-to-one mapping, where the multiple device types in the data model of the second communication protocol can be mapped to at least some of the device types in the first communication protocol, and at least some of the device functions in the data model of the second communication protocol can be mapped to at least some of the device functions in the first communication protocol.

[0082] For example, the data model of the second communication protocol can include multiple device types, such as device type_1, device type_2, and device type_3. The data model of the first communication protocol can include device type_11, which corresponds to these multiple device types. Based on this, device type_11 in the data model of the first communication protocol can correspond to device type_1, device type_2, and device type_3 in the data model of the second communication protocol.

[0083] For example, the data model of the second communication protocol can include multiple device functions, such as device function_1, device function_2, and device function_3. The data model of the first communication protocol can include device function_2 and device function_3. Therefore, device function_2 and device function_3 in the data model of the first communication protocol can correspond to device function_2 and device function_3 in the data model of the second communication protocol, while device function_1 in the data model of the second communication protocol is not mapped.

[0084] The specific content of the data model of the first communication protocol can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0085] In one embodiment shown, the data model of the first communication protocol may include Model data and Module data; wherein, the Model data may be predefined and used to indicate the device type of the smart device running the second communication protocol; the Module data includes a module name and a module identifier and is used to indicate the device functions included in the smart device.

[0086] In order to distinguish different types of smart devices produced by different manufacturers, Model data for indicating the device type of smart devices running the second communication protocol can be predefined based on the data model of the first communication protocol.

[0087] For example, the data model of the second communication protocol can include multiple device types, such as on / off lights, dimming lights, and color-changing lights. Based on this, a light model can be predefined as model data based on the first communication protocol to indicate the device types of the three types of smart devices running the second communication protocol. Therefore, the light model included in the data model of the first communication protocol can correspond to the on / off lights, dimming lights, and color-changing lights included in the data model of the second communication protocol.

[0088] The data model of the first communication protocol may also include Module data, which may contain module name and module identifier to indicate the device functions included in the smart device.

[0089] For example, the data model of the second communication protocol can include multiple device functions, such as switching, dimming, and color adjustment. For smart device 1, if its device type is a light switch and its auxiliary function includes dimming, then the data model of the first communication protocol can include Module data. This Module data can include a lamp module as the module name and a module identifier (2) to indicate a lamp module that includes both switching and dimming functions. Therefore, the lamp module and module identifier (2) in the data model of the first communication protocol can correspond to a light switch with dimming functionality included in the data model of the second communication protocol.

[0090] In this way, the device information contained in the data model of the second communication protocol can be accurately mapped.

[0091] In one embodiment shown, the data model of the second communication protocol may include a device type, a device type identifier, a function cluster, and feature map data within the function cluster; wherein, the function cluster and the feature map data within the function cluster are used to indicate the device functions included in the smart device; the Model data in the data model of the first communication protocol may correspond to the device type and device type identifier in the data model of the second communication protocol; the Module data in the data model of the first communication protocol may correspond to the function cluster and feature map data within the function cluster in the data model of the second communication protocol.

[0092] The functional cluster and the feature map data within the functional cluster can be used to indicate the device functions included in the smart device, and the module data in the data model of the first communication protocol can correspond to the functional cluster and the feature map data within the functional cluster.

[0093] For example, please refer to Table 1, which is a mapping table between a data model of a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol, as shown in an exemplary embodiment.

[0094]

[0095]

[0096] As shown in Table 1, the data model of the second communication protocol can include information on device type and device function. The device type can include a device type name and a device type identifier. The device function can include a function cluster and feature map data within the function cluster. The function cluster can be used to indicate the basic functions of the smart device, and the feature map data within the function cluster can be used to indicate the additional functions of the smart device. Specifically, the device type can include a switch light, a dimming light, and a color-changing light. The device type identifiers corresponding to the switch light, dimming light, and color-changing light can be id_1, id_2, and id_3, respectively. The switch light can include two types: one with basic functions and the other with both switching and dimming functions. The device function of the dimming light can include both switching and dimming functions. The color-changing light can have switching, color temperature adjustment, and multiple selectable color temperature adjustment methods.

[0097] The data model of the first communication protocol may include target device type and target device function. The target device type may include Model data, and the target device function may include Module data. The Module data may include module name and module identifier. The Model data may include light.matter, and the module name may include module_light. In the data model of the first communication protocol, if the module identifier is 1, it can indicate that the smart device with the module name module_light supports the on / off function. If the module identifier is 2, it can indicate that the smart device with the module name module_light supports the on / off function and dimming function. If the module identifier is 3, it can indicate that the smart device with the module name module_light supports the on / off function, dimming function, and color temperature adjustment function.

[0098] Specifically, the mapping relationship between the three device types in the second communication protocol and the target device type in the first communication protocol can be configured, as well as the mapping relationship between the four device functions in the second communication protocol and the three target device functions in the first communication protocol, so as to construct an accurate mapping relationship between the data models of the second communication protocol and the first communication protocol.

[0099] For example, a smart device with a switch light type, device type identifier id_1, and switch function can be mapped to a smart device with Model data light.matter, module name module_light, and module identifier 1; a smart device with a switch light type, device type identifier id_1, and switch and dimming functions can be mapped to a smart device with Model data light.matter, module name module_light, and module identifier 2; a smart device with a dimming light type, device type identifier id_2, and switch and dimming functions can be mapped to a smart device with Model data light.matter, module name module_light, and module identifier 2; a smart device with a color temperature adjustment light type, device type identifier id_3, and switch and color temperature adjustment functions can be mapped to a smart device with Model data light.matter, module name module_light, and module identifier 3.

[0100] It should be noted that this mapping relationship can also include mapping relationships between other information in the data model, which can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0101] In this way, protocols that cannot be mapped one-to-one with data models can be configured according to actual needs, thereby improving the flexibility of protocol conversion.

[0102] Step 206: Based on the second communication protocol, the local control message is sent to the target smart device to enable the terminal to remotely control the target smart device.

[0103] Since the relay device and the smart device establish local communication based on the second communication protocol running on the smart device, the local control message can be sent to the target smart device based on the established second communication. Since the local control message is a message defined based on the second communication protocol, the target smart device can parse and identify the local control message, thereby realizing remote control of the target smart device by the terminal.

[0104] The specific content of the control message can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0105] In one embodiment shown, the relay device can receive local status messages reported by the target intelligent device based on a second communication protocol; wherein the local status message is a message defined by a data model based on the second communication protocol; the local status message is converted into a remote status message according to the mapping relationship between the data models of the first and second communication protocols; wherein the remote status message is a message defined by a data model based on the first communication protocol; and remote communication is performed with the terminal based on the first communication protocol to send the remote status message to the terminal, so as to realize the response of the target intelligent device to remote control.

[0106] The terminal can remotely control the target smart device, and the target smart device can respond to the remote control. The relay device can receive local status messages reported by the target smart device and send these messages to the terminal. Since these local status messages are based on a data model defined by the second communication protocol, the terminal cannot parse and recognize them. Therefore, the relay device can map and convert these local status messages before sending them to the terminal.

[0107] For example, the relay device can receive local status messages reported by the target smart device, query mapping relationships, determine the target device type and target device function that match the device type and device function in the local status message, generate remote status messages based on the target device type and target device function, and communicate remotely with the terminal based on the first communication protocol to send the target status messages to the terminal.

[0108] In this way, the terminal can receive the target smart device's response to remote control, thereby improving the user experience.

[0109] The specific content of this status message can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0110] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a remote control method according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0111] like Figure 3 As shown, based on the established remote and local communication, the cloud can perform the following steps:

[0112] Step 302: Receive login user information and device information corresponding to the target smart device sent by the terminal; wherein, the login user information is the login information of the user who logged into the terminal; the device information includes a device identifier; the device information is obtained by the terminal from the target smart device when the terminal establishes local communication with the target smart device based on the second communication protocol of the target smart device.

[0113] Step 304: Based on the logged-in user information and the device identifier, establish a binding relationship between the user and the target smart device.

[0114] Based on the first communication protocol running on the terminal, the cloud can establish remote communication with the terminal. Based on this remote communication, the cloud can receive remote control messages sent by the terminal for the target smart device, and can send the remote control messages to the relay device, which will then perform protocol mapping, thereby enabling the terminal to remotely control the target smart device.

[0115] The cloud can store the binding relationship between the user who logged into the terminal and the target smart device, as well as the correspondence between the target smart device and the relay device. Based on the binding relationship and the correspondence, the remote control message sent by the terminal can be accurately sent to the relay device that has established local communication with the target smart device remotely controlled by the terminal.

[0116] When the cloud receives a remote control message sent by the terminal, the remote control message may contain the login user information of the user who logged into the terminal. The cloud may verify the identity of the user who logged into the terminal based on the login user information, and may also query the target smart device bound to the user who logged into the terminal based on the login user information, and further query the relay device corresponding to the target smart device, thereby sending the remote control message to the relay device.

[0117] It should be noted that the binding relationship can also be a binding relationship between the terminal and the target smart device, which can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0118] The method for obtaining this binding relationship can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0119] Before remote control, the terminal can perform a network configuration operation on the target smart device to connect it to the local communication network. During this network configuration process, the terminal can obtain the device information of the target smart device and report this device information and the login user information of the terminal to the cloud to establish a binding relationship in the cloud.

[0120] For example, the terminal can establish local communication with the target smart device based on the second communication protocol running on the target smart device, and can obtain device information corresponding to the target smart device from the target smart device based on the local communication. It can also upload the device information and the login user information of the terminal to the cloud, so that the cloud can establish a binding relationship between the user and the target smart device based on the login user information and the device identifier contained in the device information.

[0121] In this way, a binding relationship can be established between the user logging into the terminal and the target smart device in the cloud, which makes it easier for the user to switch terminals for remote control and improves the flexibility of remote control.

[0122] In one embodiment shown, the device information may include device type and device function; the device information may be information corresponding to the data model of the second communication protocol; the cloud may convert the device type and device function contained in the device information into target device type and target device function according to the mapping relationship between the data models of the first and second communication protocols running on the terminal; wherein, the target device type information and target device function information may be information corresponding to the data model of the first communication protocol; the target device type and target device function are sent to the terminal so that the terminal can pull the device plugin according to the target device type and target device function, and display the control options provided by the device plugin on the onboard user interface; wherein, the target device type and target device function are information corresponding to the data model of the first communication protocol; the device plugin is adapted to the first communication protocol.

[0123] Once the aforementioned binding relationship is established in the cloud, control options for controlling the target smart device can be displayed on the user interface on the terminal, allowing users to remotely control the target smart device using the terminal.

[0124] Since the communication between the terminal and the cloud is a remote communication established based on the first communication protocol, and the subsequently generated remote control information requires remote communication, the terminal can retrieve a device plugin adapted to the first communication protocol to display the control options provided by the device plugin on the terminal's user interface. Therefore, because the device information of the target smart device obtained by the terminal is defined based on the second communication protocol, it is not possible to directly retrieve the aforementioned device plugin based on this device information.

[0125] In this scenario, the cloud can, based on the mapping relationship between the data models of the first and second communication protocols, convert the device type and function contained in the received device information corresponding to the data model of the second communication protocol into the target device type and target device function corresponding to the data model of the first communication protocol. This allows the terminal to retrieve the device plugin based on the target device type and target device function and display the control options provided by the device plugin on the onboard user interface. Based on these control options, the terminal can respond to the user's control operations on the remote target smart device and generate a remote control message for that target smart device.

[0126] For example, the cloud can receive device information of the target smart device reported by the terminal. This device information may include device type_1 and device function_1. Based on the above mapping relationship, the cloud can convert the device information into target device information, which includes target device type_1 and target device function_1. The cloud can then send the target device type_1 and target device function_1 to the terminal. The terminal can then retrieve the corresponding device plugin based on the target device type_1 and target device function_1, and display the control options provided by the device plugin on the user interface.

[0127] In this way, users can trigger remote control through the user interface provided on the terminal, thereby improving the user's control experience.

[0128] In one embodiment shown, the target smart device can be one of the sub-devices included in the target agent device; the cloud can receive login user information corresponding to the terminal sent by the terminal, and device information corresponding to the target agent device; the device information includes the agent device identifier of the target agent device, and sub-device information of the sub-devices included in the target agent device; the sub-device information includes the sub-device information of the target smart device.

[0129] Based on this, in one embodiment shown, the cloud can establish a binding relationship between a user and a target agent device based on login user information, a preset agent identifier, and an agent device identifier; and establish binding relationships between a user and a sub-device based on login user information, an agent device identifier, a preset agent identifier, and sub-device information; wherein, the binding relationship includes the binding relationship between the user and the target smart device.

[0130] Since smart devices include smart devices with multiple functional modules, in order to facilitate precise control, the smart device can be used as a target agent device, and the functional modules contained in the agent device can be used as sub-devices of the target agent device. The terminal can establish a binding relationship with the sub-device, thereby enabling precise control of the sub-device.

[0131] The cloud can assign a dedicated proxy identifier to smart devices, making it easier to identify the smart device as a proxy device.

[0132] For example, the target proxy device can be a fan light, which may include fan sub-devices and light sub-devices. The cloud can receive login user information corresponding to the terminal and device information corresponding to the fan light, sent by the terminal. The device information may include the fan light identifier of the fan light, as well as the sub-device information of the fan sub-device and the light sub-device included in the fan light. Based on this, the cloud can establish a binding relationship between the user and the fan light based on the login user information, the fan light identifier, and the assigned proxy identifier. Furthermore, it can establish binding relationships between the user and the fan sub-device, and between the user and the light device, respectively, based on the login user information, the fan light identifier, and the sub-device information.

[0133] In this way, the accuracy of remote control can be improved for smart devices that contain multiple functional modules.

[0134] It should be noted that the binding process may also include, in the case of establishing a binding relationship between the user and the target agent device, converting the device information of the target agent device into target device information and sending the target device information to the terminal, so that the terminal can display the target device information of multiple sub-devices contained in the target agent device on the user interface, thereby making it convenient for the user to selectively bind the multiple sub-devices.

[0135] Furthermore, since a binding relationship has been established between the user and the multiple sub-devices, subsequent unbinding can be performed on all of the target proxy devices or selectively on the multiple sub-devices included in the target proxy device. This disclosure does not limit this.
