Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart home, smart building and smart hotel control technology, and more specifically, to a smart panel with a cloud-customizable interface and separate front and rear components for quick maintenance. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and wireless communication technologies, the demand for intelligent control terminals in smart homes, smart buildings, and smart hotels is increasing daily. Wall-mounted smart panels, as the control entry point closest to users' daily operations, handle functions such as lighting adjustment, temperature control, and curtain control.

[0003] Currently, smart panels on the market are mainly divided into three categories based on their interaction methods: all-physical button panels, panels combining physical buttons and LCD displays, and all-LCD touch panels. The all-LCD touch panel, which is closest to this solution, typically adopts a multi-level menu-based interaction architecture. The panel runs an embedded operating system, and pre-installed firmware solidifies parameters such as button layout, interface style, and function mapping into unchangeable code logic. Users can find and operate the desired functions on the touchscreen by swiping through pages or navigating through sub-menus. The panel connects to the cloud or a local area network gateway via a built-in single communication protocol to control home appliances.

[0004] However, in actual use, it still has some shortcomings, such as severely rigid functions and interface. The button layout and interface style are locked at the factory, making it impossible to flexibly adjust according to user needs or changes in scenarios later, and it is impossible to achieve remote cloud customization configuration, resulting in poor product iteration and personalization capabilities. The multi-level menu-style interaction structure leads to long operation paths and deep button hierarchy. Users need to repeatedly flip through pages or enter sub-menus level by level to complete a single control, which is cumbersome and has a high learning cost. It is especially unfriendly to groups such as the elderly, children, and temporary hotel guests. Moreover, the hierarchical structure itself also leads to a rigid interface layout and an inability to customize. The process is characterized by a flat layout; product debugging and maintenance heavily rely on professional personnel. If equipment needs to be replaced after construction, the new equipment must be reconfigured by technicians, requiring a complete re-process of network configuration, pairing, and parameter configuration, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to guarantee consistency. Furthermore, the use of a single, closed communication protocol prevents interconnection between devices of different brands and ecosystems. Users need to configure different gateways or panels for devices with different protocols, resulting in a large number of wall panels, complex wiring, and limited functionality and integration of individual panels. This makes it impossible to achieve unified control of multiple devices such as lighting, temperature control, curtains, and scene settings within a room, leading to high construction and renovation costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the embodiments of the present invention provide an intelligent panel with a cloud-customizable interface and separate front and rear components for quick maintenance, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art through the following solutions.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an intelligent panel with a customizable cloud interface and separate front-end and back-end components for quick maintenance, mainly composed of three core modules: intelligent panel terminal, cloud server, and user front-end application; The intelligent panel terminal integrates a touch display module and a main control circuit, undertaking local human-computer interaction and command execution. It adopts a flat, non-hierarchical UI interface that mimics physical buttons, supporting cloud-based customization of button quantity, graphic labels, layout, and style. The UI is broken down into independently configurable minimum units according to the building block principle. Engineers / users can edit various business parameters on the user front end, including UI interface layout, button function definition, scene linkage rules, and panel operation parameters. It has built-in hardware modules of multiple standard protocols, and a single panel integrates room-wide control functions, replacing multiple traditional scattered panels. The panel supports local offline operation.

[0007] The cloud server is responsible for data storage, logical operations, device management, and security protection. It automatically generates standardized configuration files and downloads them synchronously to the smart panel terminal. The files are backed up in the cloud and automatically restored after power failure or reset. The panel adopts a front and rear component separate structure. The rear component has fixed wiring and a built-in storage chip to store the panel's basic identity information. The front component is the main functional component and is fixed and electrically connected to the rear component. When the front component fails and is replaced, the new front component automatically reads the identity information stored in the rear component, connects to the cloud to complete authentication, and automatically retrieves and restores all configurations, achieving immediate use without the need for professional personnel or re-debugging. The user front-end application includes a PC web platform and a mobile APP, providing visual configuration and remote control functions.

[0008] Preferably, in the intelligent panel terminal, the flat, non-hierarchical UI interface has no multi-level menus, the button functions are directly accessible with one click, and the operation logic is consistent with that of physical buttons.

[0009] Preferably, in the intelligent panel terminal, the UI interface and button functions support template import, intelligent generation, and batch configuration distribution from the cloud.

[0010] Preferably, in the intelligent panel terminal, the front component is quickly installed using a snap-on or magnetic method, and replacement does not require professional tools or personnel.

[0011] Preferably, in the intelligent panel terminal, the back-end components include wiring terminals, a conversion circuit, and a single-bus EEPROM, which store serial numbers, keys, network parameters, and device addresses.

[0012] Preferably, in the intelligent panel terminal, when the front-end fails and is replaced, the system automatically reads the identity information stored in the back-end and automatically restores the system configuration, UI layout and button functions from the cloud backup.

[0013] Preferably, in the application of the intelligent panel terminal, a built-in KNX and Matter protocol hardware module is used to achieve interconnection and interoperability of devices from multiple brands.

[0014] Preferably, in the smart panel terminal application, all configuration data is automatically backed up to the cloud after the panel is activated, and the configuration is not lost after power failure, replacement, or reset.

[0015] Preferably, in the application of the smart panel terminal, a single panel integrates the control of the entire room, replacing multiple separate panels for traditional lighting, temperature control, curtains, and scene control.

[0016] Preferably, in the application of the intelligent panel terminal, the panel supports local offline operation and can perform control and scene functions normally when the network is disconnected.

[0017] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention fundamentally transforms the maintenance mode of intelligent panels by adopting a separate front-end and rear-end component structure, single-bus EEPROM identity storage, and a cloud-based automatic recovery mechanism. The rear-end component is fixed to the wall-mounted junction box and independently possesses basic fault diagnosis functions, allowing for quick troubleshooting of wiring and power supply faults without installing the front-end component. The front-end component, as the main functional unit, is quickly installed and removed using snap-fit ​​or magnetic methods. When replacing, the new front-end component automatically reads the device serial number, key, network parameters, and device address stored in the rear-end component's EEPROM after power-on, actively connects to the cloud to complete authentication, and automatically retrieves all configurations, restoring the device to its pre-fault operating state within seconds. The entire replacement process requires no professional tools, no reconfiguration, no re-tuning, and no manual configuration; ordinary people can complete the operation. This completely solves the maintenance problem of traditional integrated panels requiring complete disassembly and repair, and individual re-tuning by professionals after a fault, significantly reducing after-sales maintenance costs and time costs.

[0018] 2. This invention overcomes the technical limitations of existing full LCD touch panels with their cumbersome multi-level menu operation through a unique, tiled, non-hierarchical UI architecture that mimics physical buttons. The UI is broken down into independently configurable minimum units based on a building block principle. All buttons are tiled on the same interface, eliminating the need for swiping through pages or navigating through sub-menus. Each button area is fixed and provides one-click access to the target function. The operation logic is completely consistent with physical buttons, allowing the elderly, children, and temporary hotel guests to use it immediately with zero learning curve. Compared to the limitations of physical button panels, which have fixed functions and cannot be iterated, this invention allows for free customization of the number, icons, text, color, layout, and style of all buttons via the cloud. Preset templates can be imported or the system can generate them intelligently. A single panel can adapt to the diverse needs of any scenario, such as a living room, bedroom, conference room, or hotel room, retaining the intuitive and easy-to-use advantages of physical buttons while possessing the flexible and aesthetically pleasing personalized adaptability of a touch panel.

[0019] 3. This invention utilizes a single panel with built-in KNX and Matter hardware modules, directly connecting to two major standard smart home protocols at the chip level. This eliminates the need for protocol conversion gateways, enabling unified control and interoperability across brands and ecosystems, breaking down the ecosystem barriers of traditional panel protocols and fragmented devices. Simultaneously, a single panel integrates room-wide control functions such as lighting control, temperature regulation, curtain control, sensor data acquisition, and multi-scene linkage, replacing the traditional solution requiring multiple distributed panels installed side-by-side, significantly reducing the number of wall boxes, wiring length, and trenching work. In terms of configuration management, all UI layouts, button function mappings, scene linkage rules, and device parameters are stored in the cloud in standardized JSON format and automatically backed up. Template import and batch configuration distribution are supported, and a complete copy of the configuration is also retained locally on the panel. Even in offline conditions, all control and scene functions can still execute normally, ensuring that configuration data is never lost due to dual protection of local and cloud storage. This invention combines the advantages of extremely simple construction, secure configuration, strong scalability, and universal protocol compatibility, significantly improving the design, construction, and post-construction maintenance efficiency of smart home, smart hotel, and smart building projects.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a smart panel with a customizable cloud interface and separate front-end and back-end components for quick maintenance consists of three main modules: a smart panel terminal, a cloud server, and a user front-end application.

[0023] The intelligent panel terminal integrates a touch display module and a main control circuit, undertaking local human-computer interaction and command execution. It adopts a flat, non-hierarchical UI interface that mimics physical buttons, and supports cloud-based customization of button quantity, graphic labels, layout, and style. The UI is broken down into the smallest independently configurable units according to the building block principle. Engineers / users can edit various business parameters on the user front end, including UI interface layout, button function definition, scene linkage rules, and panel operation parameters.

[0024] It should be noted that the smart panel terminal features a flat, non-hierarchical UI interface without multi-level menus, and button functions are accessible with a single click, with operation logic consistent with physical buttons.

[0025] The intelligent panel terminal supports template import, intelligent generation, and batch configuration distribution from the cloud for its UI interface and button functions.

[0026] It should be further noted that the smart panel terminal is installed in a standard 86-type wall-mounted junction box and adopts a separate front and rear component structure. The two are fixed by a composite structure of magnetic attraction and snap-fit. Specifically, the insertion and removal life is ≥1000 times. The electrical connection uses a 12-pin battery connector with a contact resistance ≤30mΩ to ensure reliable and convenient connection.

[0027] It should be further explained that this embodiment adopts a modular minimum unit and a fully tiled, hierarchical UI architecture, dividing the panel touch interface into two types of configurable units according to functional granularity. All units are stored in structured data and support free combination in the cloud. The basic button unit is the smallest independent unit of the UI, simulating and referencing the single button function of a physical button. Each unit corresponds to a set of standardized data fields.

[0028] The location fields include the cell's unique ID, the grid's starting row number, the column number, the number of rows spanned, and the number of columns spanned. The display fields include icon resource index, text content string, background color RGB value, text font size and alignment; The functional fields include the trigger event type (single click / long press), binding protocol type, target device address, command code value, and feedback status mapping.

[0029] The combined function unit is composed of multiple basic button units and is used for multi-parameter control scenarios. Taking the air conditioner control combined unit as an example, it has four basic units: power switch, mode switching, temperature increase / decrease, and fan speed adjustment. The linkage logic between units (such as disabling temperature adjustment when the unit is off) is built into the combined unit template. Users can drag and drop the entire unit to call it without needing to configure the logic separately.

[0030] In this embodiment, all commonly used control functions are mapped to the first-level tiled interface, with no second-level sub-menu jumps. The default layout of a single screen is 6 to 12 basic function buttons, which support left and right swiping to switch pages. Each page is an independent tiled layout, and the number of pages can be configured in the cloud, but is less than or equal to 8 pages.

[0031] A single click on any button can directly trigger the corresponding control command, with a local command response latency of ≤100ms. The operation logic is completely consistent with traditional physical buttons. The interface layout, number of buttons, and function definitions are all modified through the cloud, without the need to update the panel firmware, flexibly adapting to the functional needs and decoration styles of different rooms.

[0032] This embodiment constructs a collaborative architecture of "cloud configuration generation - cloud backup and storage - terminal offline execution", which makes the entire configuration process visualized and standardized, supports hot loading and activation, and replaces the traditional on-site debugging mode of one machine at a time, as detailed below.

[0033] After engineers complete the UI layout, function binding, scene linkage, and protocol parameter configuration using a drag-and-drop editor on the PC-based web management platform, the cloud-based configuration service automatically outputs a standardized JSON format configuration file. Each file is ≤64KB in size, adaptable to the storage and processing capabilities of embedded devices. The configuration file includes five core data segments: The file header includes the configuration version number (in the format of "timestamp + incrementing sequence number", such as 20260708001), device SN, MD5 checksum, and generation timestamp; The UI layout section includes an array that stores the location, display, and function parameters of all button units; The protocol mapping segment includes the KNX group address mapping table, the Matter node and cluster mapping table, and the cross-protocol linkage rule table; The scene linkage section includes storing trigger conditions, executing action queues, delay parameters, and trigger condition mutual exclusion logic; The system parameter section includes operating parameters such as backlight brightness, sleep duration, touch sensitivity, and reporting cycle.

[0034] The smart panel terminal supports two configuration synchronization triggering methods. The entire process does not require restarting the device or interrupting business operations. After the panel is powered on and connected to the network, it actively sends a query request carrying the current configuration version number to the cloud. The cloud compares the version number, and if an update is found, it returns an encrypted download link. The panel downloads the configuration file through an HTTPS channel.

[0035] After the user modifies the configuration on the front end and performs the distribution operation, the cloud pushes the configuration update notification to the corresponding device via the MQTT protocol; after receiving the notification, the panel immediately initiates a configuration download request.

[0036] After the configuration download is complete, the panel executes the following data processing flow to achieve hot replacement without restarting: The first step is to perform an MD5 checksum on the downloaded configuration file and compare it with the checksum built into the file header. If they do not match, the file is discarded and the download is retried. The second step is to write the verified configuration file into a spare configuration buffer in RAM. The buffer is 128KB in size and is physically isolated from the current running buffer. The third step is to verify the integrity of the data in the backup area, and then switch the configuration pointer of the business thread from the running area to the backup area. The original running area will be automatically converted to the backup area. The fourth step is to report the successful configuration to the cloud. The entire switching process takes ≤500ms, ensuring uninterrupted business operations and eliminating the need to restart the entire machine and business threads.

[0037] It supports project-level template import. Users can save the panel configuration of standard apartment types as a general template, and then link it to all panel SNs under the same project in batches, completing the batch distribution with one click.

[0038] After each configuration takes effect, the cloud automatically generates a configuration version snapshot, which is permanently associated with the corresponding device SN, supporting historical version rollback and one-click rollback; after the device loses power, is restored to factory settings, or the hardware is replaced, the latest version of the configuration is automatically pulled to ensure that the configuration is never lost.

[0039] The cloud server is responsible for data storage, logical operations, device management, and security protection. It automatically generates standardized configuration files and downloads them synchronously to the smart panel terminal. The files are backed up in the cloud and automatically restored after power failure or reset. The panel adopts a front and rear component separate structure. The rear component has fixed wiring and a built-in storage chip to store the panel's basic identity information. The front component is the main functional component and is fixed and electrically connected to the rear component. When the front component fails and is replaced, the new front component automatically reads the identity information stored in the rear component, connects to the cloud to complete authentication, and automatically retrieves and restores all configurations, achieving immediate use without the need for professional personnel or re-debugging.

[0040] It should be noted that in the aforementioned smart panel terminal, the front component is quickly installed using a snap-on or magnetic method, and replacement does not require professional tools or personnel.

[0041] The intelligent panel terminal includes a wiring terminal, a conversion circuit, and a single-bus EEPROM, which stores the serial number, key, network parameters, and device address.

[0042] In the aforementioned intelligent panel terminal, when the front-end fails and is replaced, the system automatically reads the identity information stored in the back-end and automatically restores the system configuration, UI layout, and button functions from the cloud backup.

[0043] It should be further explained that the cloud server adopts a cloud-native microservice architecture, deploying five core services: device identity management, configuration generation and storage, user permissions, project hierarchical management, and OTA upgrades, supporting tens of thousands of concurrent devices; it uses a relational database to store device identity and project metadata, and an object storage service to retain full-version snapshots of configuration files, ensuring that data is traceable and not lost.

[0044] It should be further explained that the front and rear components are separate structures, which are combined with single-bus EEPROM identity storage and cloud automatic recovery. The rear component is an 86-type box fixing structure, which is installed in the wall box with screws. It includes high-voltage wiring terminals, KNX bus terminals, power conversion circuit, bus fault detection circuit and single-bus EEPROM chip.

[0045] The EEPROM uses a DS2431 single-bus storage chip with a capacity of 1024 bits. It retains data for ≥10 years after power failure and has an erase / write life of ≥100,000 cycles. The stored data is encrypted using AES-128 and includes: a 16-bit device serial number (SN), a 32-bit device authentication key, an encrypted WiFi SSID and password, a KNX physical address, and device factory calibration parameters.

[0046] The back-end has a built-in independent low-power MCU, which can operate independently for fault diagnosis without the need for the front-end. It detects the input voltage through a voltage divider sampling circuit. If the voltage is below 18V, it is considered undervoltage; if it is above 26V, it is considered overvoltage. The fault status is displayed intuitively by a three-color LED indicator. During construction and maintenance, wiring faults such as power failure, undervoltage, or overvoltage can be quickly diagnosed without the need to install the front-end.

[0047] The front component is the main functional panel, including a 6.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a main control module (RK356X), a KNX communication module, a Matter WiFi / Thread dual-mode module, and a power management circuit. The bottom of the front component features a spring-loaded pin interface and a ring-shaped magnetic structure, automatically powering on after docking with the rear component. The locking force is ≥50N to prevent accidental detachment.

[0048] When a component fails and needs to be replaced, the entire process requires no professional personnel and no reconfiguration or network setup. The specific data processing steps are as follows: Press the side latch to unlock, remove the faulty front component, keep the rear component powered continuously, and the data in the EEPROM is completely saved; When the new front part is aligned with the rear part and they are magnetically engaged, the spring pin is turned on, the rear part supplies power to the new front part, and the front part system starts and initializes. After the front-end kernel is initialized, the encrypted data in the back-end EEPROM is read through the single-bus interface, and the device SN, authentication key, WiFi parameters and bus address are obtained after decryption with the built-in key. The device automatically connects to the wireless network based on the read WiFi parameters, eliminating the need for manual scanning or manual input of network configuration information. The preceding process uses the SN and the decrypted key to perform two-way TLS authentication with the cloud server. After the cloud verifies the legitimacy of the identity, it matches the configuration file of the corresponding device. The cloud automatically queries the latest configuration file corresponding to the SN and actively pushes it to the new frontend; after the frontend downloads and verifies the configuration, it performs hot-swap loading and automatically restores the UI layout, button functions, scene linkage and protocol parameters. The panel is in normal working order, and all functions are exactly the same as the original equipment.

[0049] The user front-end application includes a PC web platform and a mobile APP, providing visual configuration and remote control functions.

[0050] It should be noted that the smart panel terminal application incorporates a built-in KNX and Matter dual-protocol hardware module, enabling interconnection and interoperability among devices from multiple brands.

[0051] In the aforementioned smart panel terminal application, all configuration data is automatically backed up to the cloud after the panel is activated, and the configuration is not lost after power failure, replacement, or reset.

[0052] In the application of the smart panel terminal, a single panel integrates the control of the entire room, replacing the traditional multiple separate panels for lighting, temperature control, curtains, and scene control.

[0053] In the aforementioned smart panel terminal application, the panel supports local offline operation and can perform control and scene functions normally even when the network is disconnected.

[0054] It should be further explained that the user front-end application is divided into two types: PC-based Web management platform and mobile APP. The Web platform is for engineering and maintenance personnel, providing drag-and-drop visual configuration, batch project management, and equipment status monitoring functions; the mobile APP is for end users, providing scene control, status viewing, and personalized preference settings functions.

[0055] It should be further explained that this embodiment integrates KNX and Matter dual-protocol modules at the hardware level within a single panel, enabling cross-ecosystem device interconnection and interoperability without a gateway, breaking down brand protocol barriers, and achieving full room control with a single panel.

[0056] The panel's main control chip connects to two protocol modules via two independent peripheral interfaces, ensuring that data processing does not interfere with each other. In this embodiment, the KNX module uses a TP1 standard transceiver, which is connected to the main controller via a UART interface. It supports standard KNX bus communication with a baud rate of 9600bps, and a single panel can connect to up to 64 KNX bus devices. The Matter module uses a WiFi+Thread dual-mode chip, connects to the main controller via the SDIO interface, supports the Matter 1.5 standard, and can connect up to 32 Matter ecosystem devices on a single panel, making it compatible with the mainstream Matter smart home ecosystem.

[0057] The main controller maintains a unified device status mapping table to achieve status synchronization and linkage control of dual-protocol devices without the need for a gateway. The specific data processing logic is as follows: All access devices are assigned a unique internal ID in the mapping table, which records the protocol type, physical address, current status value, and associated button ID; When a touch button is triggered, the main controller converts the control command into a standard message of the corresponding protocol according to the protocol type bound to the button, and sends it to the target device through the corresponding module; When a device status feedback message is received on the bus, the master controller parses the message and updates the status of the corresponding device in the mapping table. At the same time, the status is converted into a standard cluster attribute instruction of another protocol and synchronized to the corresponding ecosystem device. Scene linkage rules support cross-protocol effects. For example, when the "sleep scene" is triggered, the KNX bus lights can be turned off at the same time, and the air conditioner and curtains can be turned off via the Matter protocol, without any gateway device intermediary.

[0058] Through native dual-protocol integration, a single panel can cover the full range of room lighting, temperature control, curtains, sensors, and scene control, replacing four to five separate panels such as traditional lighting panels, temperature control panels, curtain panels, and scene panels, significantly reducing the number of wall boxes and wiring costs.

[0059] The complete workflow is summarized as follows: Fix the back-end device to the wall-mounted junction box, connect the power supply and KNX bus, and write the device SN, authentication key, and initial bus address into the back-end device's EEPROM using a dedicated writing tool; the installation personnel can quickly troubleshoot wiring faults through the back-end device's indicator lights, and the line acceptance can be completed without installing the front-end device.

[0060] When the front device is plugged in and powered on, it automatically reads the identity information of the rear device. The user completes WiFi configuration by scanning the QR code on the panel through a mobile app. After the panel connects to the network, it completes two-way authentication with the cloud and is officially activated for network access.

[0061] Engineers can drag and drop to edit the UI layout and functional logic on the Web management platform, generate configuration files, and then distribute them in batches to all panels in the project. The panels can be hot-loaded and take effect without the need for on-site debugging on each unit.

[0062] The panel stores the complete configuration file locally. When the network is off, all control and scene linkage functions will execute normally with no change in response latency. When connected to the network, the device status will be synchronized to the cloud in real time, supporting remote control and status viewing.

[0063] When a fault occurs in the pre-installed component, ordinary personnel can simply plug and unplug it to replace it. The new pre-installed component automatically restores all configurations and functions, without the need for professional maintenance personnel to be present, which greatly reduces after-sales maintenance costs and response time.

[0064] Secondly: The accompanying drawings of the embodiments disclosed in this invention only involve the structures involved in the embodiments disclosed in this invention. Other structures can refer to the general design. In the absence of conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of this invention can be combined with each other. In conclusion, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
