[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0034] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a smart scene panel, which is applied to a smart home system, and can be used for a wall panel switch in a smart home. The smart home system includes a gateway and smart home devices connected to the gateway, and the smart home devices include but are not limited to smart lamps.

[0035] The smart scene panel is used to communicate with the gateway to control the scene of the smart home device. The smart scene panel includes M input modules, a processor module and a communication module. The processor module is connected to the M input modules respectively, and the processor module is connected to the communication module.

[0036] Each input module is used to respond to N types of input events input by the user, and M input modules can respond to M*N types of input events input by the user. The M input modules can also generate M*N types of trigger messages according to the M*N types of input events. Each trigger message corresponds to a scenario of the smart home device, where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 3.

[0037] When a user performs an input operation on any input module, a target input event is generated, and the corresponding input module immediately generates a target trigger message. The processor module is used to obtain the target trigger message generated by the target input event and send the target trigger message to the communication module. The communication module is used to receive the target trigger message sent by the processor module and report the target trigger message to the gateway. After reporting, the gateway will execute the corresponding scene, such as turning on the room lights at 30% brightness and 2700K color temperature, so as to control the scene of smart home devices.

[0038] The communication module may be a Bluetooth communication module, a Zigbee communication module or a Wi-Fi communication module, which is used to communicate with the gateway of the smart home system.

[0039] The input module is a button, and the input events corresponding to each button include but are not limited to single-clicking the button, double-clicking the button, long-pressing the button, and raising the hand after long-pressing the button. The button can be a physical button or a virtual button.

[0040] In one embodiment, six buttons are provided on the front of the smart scene panel, each of which can respond to four different types of input events, namely, single-clicking the button, double-clicking the button, long pressing the button, and long pressing the button and raising the hand. The six buttons can respond to a total of 24 input events, and these 24 input events correspond to 24 scenes of smart home devices.

[0041] Furthermore, the smart scene panel also includes an IO expansion module and a display module, the display module and the IO expansion module are both connected to the processor module, the IO expansion module has multiple interfaces, and multiple physical buttons can be connected to the processor module through the IO expansion module. The setting of the IO expansion module can set more physical buttons on the smart scene panel, thereby realizing more diversified scene control of smart home devices.

[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the front of the smart scene panel 1 is provided with a display area 101 of a display module and 6 physical buttons 102, and the physical buttons 102 are located on one side of the display area 101. Of course, in other embodiments, the physical buttons 102 can be located on both sides of the display area 101 or arranged in the periphery, which is not limited here. The smart scene panel also includes a plurality of indicator lights 103, and the plurality of indicator lights 103 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of physical buttons 102, and the plurality of indicator lights 103 are respectively connected to the processor module. When a target input event occurs on the target input module, the processor module is also used to control the indicator light corresponding to the target input module to light up. For example, the physical button on which the user executes the target input event is the target button. When the user performs a single-click operation on the target button, the target button immediately generates a target trigger message. After the processor module obtains the target trigger message, it will immediately control the indicator light corresponding to the target button to light up to prompt the user that the single-click operation input is successful.

[0043] In one embodiment, the smart scene panel includes 6 indicator lights 103, and the 6 indicator lights 103 are set in one-to-one correspondence with the 6 physical buttons 102. If the user successfully performs a single-click, double-click, long-press, or long-press and raise operation on any physical button 102, the indicator light 103 corresponding to the physical button 102 is lit; otherwise, the indicator light 103 corresponding to the physical button 102 is off.

[0044] Furthermore, the smart scene panel also includes a first sensor module, which is connected to the processor module. The first sensor module is used to sense the brightness information of the external environment and send the brightness information of the external environment to the processor module.

[0045] The processor module is also used to receive external environment brightness information and determine whether the external environment brightness information is less than a brightness threshold; if the external environment brightness information is less than the brightness threshold, the processor module is also used to control the brightness of the indicator light to be at a first preset value; otherwise, the processor module is also used to control the brightness of the indicator light to be at a second preset value; wherein the first preset value is less than the second preset value.

[0046] For example, when the first sensor module senses that the external environment brightness information is less than the brightness threshold, it indicates that the smart scene panel is in night use state. At this time, when the user performs input event operation, the processor module controls the brightness of the corresponding indicator light to be in a dim state for night indication and convenient operation; when the first sensor module senses that the external environment brightness information is greater than or equal to the brightness threshold, it indicates that the smart scene panel is in daytime use state. At this time, when the user performs input event operation, the processor module controls the brightness of the corresponding indicator light to be in a high state for daytime indication.

[0047] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 In another embodiment, a display area 101 of a display module is provided on the front of the smart scene panel 1. The display module is used to display a virtual key 104 in the display area 101. The virtual key 104 can be located at any position in the display area 101. Among them, when a target input event occurs on the target virtual key, the processor module is also used to control the color change of the target virtual key of the display module. For example, the virtual keys 104 displayed by the display module are all gray. If the user successfully performs a single-click, double-click, long-press, or long-press and raises his hand on any virtual key 104, the virtual key 104 changes from gray to green; otherwise, the virtual key 104 still displays gray. Of course, the color of the virtual key 104 can be set according to the user's needs.

[0048] Furthermore, the processor module includes a storage unit, in which scene icons corresponding to M*N input events are stored, and each scene icon is used to indicate a scene of the smart home device. When a target input event occurs on the target input module, the processor module is also used to send the target scene icon corresponding to the target input event to the display module; the display module is used to receive the target scene icon and display it.

[0049] It is understandable that the display of the scene icon and the display of the virtual button do not affect each other.

[0050] Furthermore, the smart scene panel also includes a second sensor module, which is connected to the processor module. The second sensor module is used to sense the distance information between the user and the smart scene panel and send the distance information to the processor module.

[0051] The processor module is also used to receive distance information and determine whether the distance information is less than a distance threshold; if the distance information is less than the distance threshold, the processor module is also used to control the display module to light up; otherwise, the processor module is also used to control the display module to turn off.

[0052] For example, when the second sensor module senses that the distance information between the user and the smart scene panel is less than the distance threshold, it indicates that the user may want to operate the smart scene panel within the distance range. At this time, the processor module controls the display module to be in a lit state for easy operation; when the second sensor module senses that the distance information between the user and the smart scene panel is greater than or equal to the distance threshold, it indicates that the user will not operate the smart scene panel within the distance range. At this time, the processor module controls the display module to be in an off state to prevent unnecessary power consumption and unnecessary light pollution.

[0053] See also Figure 4 The utility model also provides a smart home system, including the smart scene panel as described in any of the above embodiments, and also including a gateway, a cloud server and smart home devices, the smart scene panel is connected to the gateway, and the gateway is connected to the smart home device and the cloud server respectively. Among them, the smart home device includes but is not limited to at least one smart lamp.

[0054] The gateway is used to poll the smart scene panel for target trigger messages. If a target trigger message is detected on the smart scene panel, the gateway obtains the target trigger message and reports it to the cloud server. The gateway is also used to receive command information issued by the cloud server and control the scene of the smart home device according to the command information.

[0055] The cloud server is used to receive the target trigger message reported by the gateway, and send instruction information to the gateway according to the target trigger message, so as to control the scene of the smart home device through the gateway.

[0056] For example, the user performs a long-press operation on a certain button. The scene of the smart lamp corresponding to the long-press event of the button is a color temperature of 2500K. When the gateway reports the trigger message generated by the event to the cloud server, the cloud server will send the instruction information corresponding to the scene to the gateway. The gateway executes the instruction information to control the color temperature of the smart lamp to reach 2500K.

[0057] It is understandable that there is a preset mapping relationship between each trigger message and the instruction information corresponding to a scenario of the smart home device.

[0058] See also Figure 5The smart home system of the utility model also includes a WEB / APP front end, which is connected to the cloud server for communication, and the user sets the parameters of the smart scene panel through the WEB / APP front end.

[0059] Among them, the smart scene panel includes multiple indicator lights and display modules, and the WEB / APP front end includes but is not limited to the brightness parameters of the indicator lights and the display parameters of the display modules, and the display parameters include but are not limited to the scene icons corresponding to M*N input events. The user can personalize the brightness parameters of the indicator lights and the display parameters of the display module through the WEB / APP front end. For example, the user can set the indicator lights to be dimmed during the night time period and to be bright during the daytime period; and set the specific style of the scene icons corresponding to M*N input events. After the setting is completed, the WEB / APP front end is used to send the specified brightness parameters and specified display parameters set by the user to the cloud server. The cloud server is also used to receive the specified brightness parameters and the specified display parameters, and send the specified brightness parameters and the specified display parameters to the smart scene panel through the gateway, so as to personalize the interface and indicator lights of the smart scene panel.

[0060] The smart scene panel and smart home system provided by the utility model can generate trigger messages greater than the number of input modules through limited input modules, and each trigger message corresponds to a scene of the smart home device, which can enhance the richness of the smart scene panel's control over the scenes of the smart home devices, and can also personalize the functions and interfaces of the smart scene panel, thereby realizing the multifunctionality and high intelligence of the smart scene panel and the smart home system.

[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
