Detailed Implementation

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.

[0021] The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0022] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used in this application to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to determination."

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and their technical features can be combined with each other.

[0024] Figure 1An exemplary system for a control method applicable to embodiments of this application is shown. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the system 100 may include a first control terminal 101, a second control terminal 102, and an electronic device 103.

[0025] The first control terminal 101 and the second control terminal 102 control the electronic device 103 through different protocols. The electronic device 103 can be a controlled product in a smart home scenario, such as a robot vacuum cleaner, smart lights, air conditioners, door locks, etc. The electronic device 103 can also be an industrial IoT sensor, smart wearable device, etc. that requires cross-platform and cross-ecosystem collaboration. The first control terminal 101 can be the manufacturer's proprietary control software or the control buttons on the electronic device 103. The second control terminal 102 can be third-party control software, such as applications that support the Matter protocol, such as Apple Home, Google Home, etc. Since both the first control terminal 101 and the second control terminal 102 can control the electronic device 103, when the first control terminal 101 and the second control terminal 102 send commands to the electronic device 103, due to different communication protocols, the device status may be inconsistent on different control terminals. This can cause users to be unable to accurately control the device based on its status. For example, if the electronic device 103 is a curtain in a smart home scenario, its initial state is closed. The first control terminal 101 sends a command to the electronic device 103 to open the curtain, and the electronic device 103 opens the curtain according to the command. However, at this time, the second control terminal 102 has not sent a command and therefore has not updated the device status. As a result, the device status on the second control terminal 102 is still the closed state. When the second control terminal 102 sends a command to the electronic device 103 to open the curtain, the electronic device 103 cannot execute it, resulting in the device status on the second control terminal 102 still being the closed state, which affects the user experience. Therefore, a main program 104 and a slave program 105 can be set in the electronic device 103. The second control terminal 102 is used to control the electronic device 103 through the protocol provided by the slave program 105. The main program 104 and the slave program 105 process the instructions sent to the electronic device 103 by the first control terminal 101 and the second control terminal 102, and synchronize the device status respectively, so as to solve the problem of inconsistent display of device status on different control terminals.

[0026] Specifically, the main program 104 and the slave program 105 are different processes, or the main program 104 and the slave program 105 are different threads included in the same process. By using independent main programs 104 and 105, each carrying different core functions, synchronization delays and conflicts caused by functional coupling are avoided.

[0027] Specifically, Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the control method according to an embodiment of this application, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the control method applied to electronic device 103 includes the following steps: Step 201: Receive control commands through the main program and control the electronic device to perform corresponding actions according to the control commands.

[0028] Electronic device 103 receives control commands through main program 104, and after receiving the control commands, controls the electronic device to perform corresponding actions according to the control commands.

[0029] Step 202: Obtain the status information of the electronic device through the main program, and synchronize the status of the electronic device to the first control terminal used to control the electronic device according to the status information.

[0030] The main program 104 serves as the sole source of state information. The main program 104 obtains the state information of the electronic device and synchronizes the state of the electronic device 103 to the first control terminal 101 used to control the electronic device based on the state information.

[0031] Step 203: Obtain update information from the main program through the slave program, and synchronize the status of the electronic device to the second control terminal used to control the electronic device based on the update information through the slave program.

[0032] As a program that communicates with the second control terminal, after obtaining the status information from the main program 104, the program 105 obtains the update information from the main program 104. The update information is generated by the main program 104 based on the status information.

[0033] Taking electronic device 103 as a curtain in a smart home scenario as an example, the first control terminal 101 sends a control command to electronic device 103 to open the curtain. Electronic device 103 receives the control command through the main program 104, and then controls electronic device 103 to open the curtain according to the control command. Next, the main program 104 obtains the status information of the electronic device. At this time, the status information indicates that the curtain is open. After obtaining the status information indicating that the curtain is open, the main program 104 synchronizes the status of the electronic device to the first control terminal 101 used to control electronic device 103. At this time, the status of electronic device 103 in the first control terminal 101 is that the curtain is open. The main program 104 generates update information based on the status information. The slave program 105 obtains the update information from the main program 104, and then synchronizes the status of electronic device 103 to the second control terminal 102 according to the update information. At this time, the status of electronic device 103 in the second control terminal 102 is that the curtain is open. The device status in the first control terminal 101 and the second control terminal 102 is synchronized.

[0034] In this embodiment, the main program obtains status information to synchronize the device status to the first control terminal, and the program obtains update information from the main program to synchronize the device status to the second control terminal. This ensures that the status of the electronic device after receiving control commands and executing corresponding actions can be synchronously updated to the first and second control terminals, so that the device status is displayed consistently on different control terminals.

[0035] In one possible implementation, receiving control instructions via the main program 104 includes at least one of the following operations: i. The main program 104 receives control commands generated by the control buttons set on the electronic device 103 being triggered.

[0036] The electronic device 103 may be equipped with one or more control buttons. When a user triggers at least one control button, the electronic device 103 will generate a control command, which will then be received by the main program 104.

[0037] ii. Receive control commands from the first control terminal 101 through the main program 104.

[0038] The first control terminal 101, such as the manufacturer's own control software, can directly send control commands to the main program 104.

[0039] iii. The main program 104 receives control commands from the slave program 105. The control commands are sent to the slave program 105 by the second control terminal 102.

[0040] Since the communication protocol of the second control terminal 102 is different from that of the first control terminal 101, the second control terminal 102 first receives the control command sent by the slave program 105, and then the slave program 105 sends the control command to the main program 104.

[0041] In this embodiment, the main program 104 receives control commands generated by the control buttons on the electronic device 103 being triggered and control commands from the first control terminal 101. The program 105 receives control commands sent by the second control terminal 102 and sends them to the main program 104. Ultimately, the main program 104 receives all the commands, which can avoid command conflicts caused by concurrent operation of multiple control sources and improve the reliability of device operation.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the process of obtaining update information from main program 104 via program 105 may include: The update information is received from the main program 104 by the program 105, or by the program 105 periodically or the electronic device 103 needs to report its status by the main program 104.

[0043] In this embodiment, the main program 104 can actively send update information to the slave program 105, and the slave program 105 can also obtain update information from the main program 104 under specific conditions to ensure that the device status can be synchronized to the second control terminal 102 in a timely manner.

[0044] Figure 3 This is another exemplary system applicable to the control method of this application embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the electronic device 103 may also include an instruction distribution unit 106. In one possible implementation, the process of receiving control instructions through the main program 104 may further include: The main program 104 receives control commands from the instruction distribution unit 106. The instruction distribution unit 106 sorts the received control commands and sends them to the main program 104 in sequence. The control commands received by the instruction distribution unit 106 include one or more of the following: control commands generated when a control button is triggered, control commands sent by the first control terminal 101, and control commands sent by the second control terminal 102 to the slave program 105 and then forwarded by the slave program 105.

[0045] Electronic device 103 may receive multiple control commands simultaneously. These commands can first enter command distribution unit 106, which then sorts the received commands and sends them sequentially to main program 104. This allows main program 104 to execute the multiple control commands serially according to the order in which they were received by electronic device 103. For example, if electronic device 103 receives control commands to open and close the curtains sequentially, after sorting by command distribution unit 106, the command to open the curtains will precede the command to close the curtains in the sequence. After main program 104 obtains the commands to open and close the curtains, it will execute the command to open the curtains first, followed by the command to close the curtains, thus avoiding conflicts.

[0046] In this embodiment of the application, by setting up the instruction distribution unit 106, multiple control instructions can be sorted upon receipt to avoid conflicts caused by multiple instructions not being executed in the order of receipt.

[0047] In one possible implementation, the process of synchronizing the state of electronic device 103 to the first control terminal 101 for controlling electronic device 103 based on state information may further include: generating an incremental change set based on the difference between historical state information of the last time the state of electronic device 103 was synchronized to the first control terminal 101 and the current state information of electronic device 103. The state of electronic device 103 is then synchronized to the first control terminal 101 for controlling electronic device 103 based on the incremental change set.

[0048] The process of obtaining update information from the main program 104 via program 105 and synchronizing the state of electronic device 103 to the second control terminal 102 for controlling electronic device 103 based on the update information via program 105 includes: obtaining update information determined by the incremental change set from the main program 104 via program 105 and synchronizing the state of electronic device 103 to the second control terminal 102 for controlling electronic device 103 based on the update information via program 105.

[0049] After the electronic device 103 establishes communication with the first control terminal 101 and the second control terminal 102 for the first time, it will synchronize a full status list containing all synchronizeable attributes of the electronic device 103 to the first control terminal 101 and the second control terminal 102. Taking the electronic device 103 as a robot vacuum cleaner as an example, the full status list can include synchronizeable attributes such as the robot vacuum cleaner's operating status, remaining battery power, and cleaned area, and each attribute is marked with a version number and / or timestamp. Therefore, during status synchronization, the main program 104 can generate an incremental change set based on the difference between the historical status information of the electronic device 103 that was last synchronized to the first control terminal 101 and the current status information of the electronic device 103, so that the first control terminal 101 and the second control terminal 102 can synchronize their status according to the incremental change set.

[0050] In this embodiment, an incremental change set is generated by comparing the historical state information of the electronic device 103 that was previously synchronized to the first control terminal 101 with the current state information of the electronic device 103. When updating the state, only the changed data is updated, which reduces the amount of data transmission and improves the efficiency of state update.

[0051] In one possible implementation, the process of controlling the electronic device 103 to perform corresponding actions according to control instructions may further include: According to the order in which the main program 104 receives multiple control commands, the electronic device 103 is controlled to perform the corresponding actions in turn according to the control commands.

[0052] In this embodiment of the application, by controlling the electronic device to perform corresponding actions according to the control instructions in sequence, the correctness of the instruction execution can be ensured.

[0053] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a chip according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the chip 400 used in the electronic device 103 includes: The system includes a master control unit 401 and a slave control unit 402. The master control unit 401 is used to receive control commands and control the electronic device 103 to perform corresponding actions according to the control commands, as well as to obtain the status information of the electronic device 103 and synchronize the status of the electronic device 103 to the first control terminal 101 used to control the electronic device 103 according to the status information.

[0054] The slave control unit 402 is used to obtain update information from the master control unit 401 and synchronize the status of the electronic device 103 to the second control terminal 102 for controlling the electronic device 103 according to the update information. The update information is generated according to the status information. The second control terminal 102 is used to control the electronic device 103 through the protocol provided by the slave control unit 402. The first control terminal 101 and the second control terminal 102 control the electronic device 103 through different protocols.

[0055] Taking electronic device 103 as a lighting fixture in a smart home scenario as an example, the first control terminal 101 sends a control command to electronic device 103 to turn on the light. Electronic device 103 receives the control command through the main control unit 401, and then controls electronic device 103 to turn on the light according to the control command. Then, the main control unit 401 obtains the status information of the electronic device. At this time, the status information indicator shows that the light is on. After obtaining the status information that the light is on, the main control unit 401 synchronizes the status of the electronic device to the first control terminal 101 used to control electronic device 103. At this time, the status of electronic device 103 in the first control terminal 101 is that the light is on. The main control unit 401 generates update information based on the status information. The slave control unit 402 obtains the update information from the main control unit 401, and then synchronizes the status of electronic device 103 to the second control terminal 102 according to the update information. At this time, the status of electronic device 103 in the second control terminal 102 is that the light is on. The device status in the first control terminal 101 and the second control terminal 102 is synchronized.

[0056] In this embodiment, the main control unit 401 obtains status information to synchronize the device status to the first control terminal 101, and the slave control unit 402 obtains update information from the main control unit 401 to synchronize the device status to the second control terminal 102. This ensures that the status of the electronic device 103 after receiving control commands and executing corresponding actions can be synchronously updated to the first control terminal 101 and the second control terminal 102, so that the device status is displayed consistently on different control terminals.

[0057] In this embodiment, a chip 500 is provided, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the chip 500 may include: a processor 501, a communications interface 502, a memory 503, and a communication bus 504. Wherein: The processor 501, communication interface 502, and memory 503 communicate with each other through the communication bus 504.

[0060] Specifically, program 505 may include program code that includes computer operation instructions.

[0061] Processor 501 may be a CPU, an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), or configured as one or more integrated circuits. A smart device may include one or more processors, which can be of the same type, such as one or more CPUs; or they may be of different types, such as one or more CPUs and one or more ASICs.

[0062] Memory 503 is used to store program 505. Memory 503 may include high-speed RAM memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device.

[0063] Specifically, program 505 can be used to cause processor 501 to execute the control method in the foregoing embodiments.

[0065] The chip 500 in this embodiment obtains status information through the main program to synchronize the device status to the first control terminal, and obtains update information from the main program through the subprogram to synchronize the device status to the second control terminal. This ensures that the status of the electronic device after receiving control commands and executing corresponding actions can be synchronously updated to the first and second control terminals, so that the device status is displayed consistently on different control terminals.
