Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of smart home equipment, and more specifically, to a portable smart home terminal. Background Art
[0002] Currently, smart homes and portable electronic devices have become an indispensable part of modern life. With the development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, people have an increasing demand for devices with smart functions and portability. In the field of smart homes, people hope to be able to control home devices such as smart lamps, smart sockets, and security systems through simple interactions. However, current smart home terminals still have some problems, including complex operation, limited functions, and lack of compatibility with other smart devices.
[0003] Specifically, current smart home terminals still have the following defects:
[0004] First, when there are multiple smart devices at home, multiple different control devices are often needed. The main reasons are: the physical logic of control is inconsistent. For example, Wi-Fi, BLE, and Zigbee use RF antennas to send and receive signals, but the protocols are not interoperable, and devices such as air conditioners require infrared for data communication; and the power consumption required by different control methods varies greatly. For example, the remote control of Wi-Fi devices requires full access to the router, which consumes a lot of power and requires frequent battery replacement or charging.
[0005] Second, the control method is relatively simple. The mainstream control methods include button control, voice control, touch control, etc. However, due to the power supply capacity, these control methods often cannot be combined on the same device - devices that can realize voice wake-up and control need to be powered all the time, and devices that realize button control often cannot display the status information of the controlled device.
[0006] It can be seen that the above defects reflect the contradiction between human-computer interaction logic, convenience and power supply logic in current smart home terminals.
[0007] On the other hand, portable electronic devices such as smart watches and smartphone accessories are becoming increasingly popular. These devices usually have display screens, sensors, and communication modules, and can provide various practical functions such as notification reminders, health monitoring, etc. However, existing portable electronic devices have limitations in terms of size, battery life, and function expansion.
[0008] At the same time, the mainstream smart home control solutions on the market are as follows:
[0009] The first is the control solution for smart speakers, some of which have screens or infrared remote control functions, and can realize remote control of a variety of different types of equipment, but they need to be plugged in and are inconvenient to move. They cannot be controlled when users are in different rooms.
[0010] The second is the control solution for mobile phones and smart watches. Its operating logic is relatively complex and cannot be used as a central device for smart homes. In addition, most mobile phones and watches do not have communication functions such as infrared and Zigbee, so additional gateway switching is required.
[0011] The third is the control solution of the wall-mounted home controller, which uses a screen as the main control device and can display the status of home appliances in the home. However, the disadvantage is that it is not portable and cannot be used across regions.
[0012] Therefore, the prior art requires an innovative technical solution that combines the functions of smart home devices and portable electronic devices to provide a more convenient, more feature-rich and scalable user experience. In summary, in the face of the current increasingly complex smart home interconnection system, it is necessary to invent a smart home controller that is portable, easy to use and compatible with various protocols, which can at least solve one or more of the above problems. It should be understood that the technical problems listed above are only examples and not limitations of the present invention. In addition, the present invention is not limited to technical solutions that solve all of the above technical problems at the same time.
