DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] Reference will now be made in detail to the illustrated exemplary embodiments. In the following description, unless otherwise specified, like numerals in different figures refer to the same or similar elements. The exemplary embodiments shown below do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of this application as recited in the appended claims.

[0023] The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit this application. As used in this application and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "the," and "the" shall also include the plural forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Additionally, the term "and / or" shall be understood to include any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0024] Although this application may use terms such as first, second, and third to describe various types of information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish the same type of information from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, first information may be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, "if" may be interpreted as "in the case of," "when," or "according to," etc.

[0025] It should be understood that the features of the following examples and embodiments can be combined unless they conflict with each other.

[0026] In the control system of the control electrical device as shown in Figures 1a and 1b, this control system includes: The mobile communication device is used by the user to input control command information; The cloud 300 can be used to store uploaded information and also to transfer command information. The smart terminal receives the command information sent from the mobile communication device, executes the control command, and realizes the corresponding control operation.

[0027] The above smart terminal includes a smart power source 100 and an electrical device 200, and the smart power source 100 is used to supply power to the electrical device 200.

[0028] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1a, the smart terminal directly connects wirelessly with the mobile communication device, and the mobile communication device connects wirelessly with the cloud 300. The smart terminal receives the command sent from the mobile communication device, checks the command, and executes the command. At the same time, the smart power supply feeds back status information to the mobile communication device, and the mobile communication device uploads the received status information to the cloud and stores it in the cloud.

[0029] For example, when a smart terminal is in a WiFi network coverage environment, such as an indoor residential environment, the smart terminal connects to the home WiFi network through a WiFi communication module, and the user is also in a WiFi network coverage environment, and can connect to the WiFi network through the built-in WiFi communication module of the mobile phone to realize wireless communication with the smart terminal. At this time, the user issues a power-on command to the fan's smart power supply via the WiFi network through the mobile communication device. After receiving the power-on command, the fan's smart power supply confirms the control command, and after confirmation, controls the smart power supply to start the fan.

[0030] In some other embodiments, as shown in Figure 1b, the smart terminal connects wirelessly to the cloud, and the cloud connects wirelessly to a mobile communication device. The mobile communication device receives a command from a user and then transmits it to the cloud. The smart power supply in the smart terminal receives the command information transmitted from the cloud and then determines the control command. After the determination, the smart power supply controls the electrical device. At the same time, the smart power supply uploads and stores the status information in the cloud. At this time, the user can not only remotely control the on / off of the smart terminal, but also remotely adjust the parameters of the smart terminal.

[0031] This control system can extend the communication distance between mobile communication devices and smart terminals by transmitting control commands via the cloud.

[0032] For example, when a smart terminal is within the range of a WiFi network and in an indoor living environment, the smart terminal can use a WiFi communication module to connect to the home WiFi network and realize wireless communication between the home WiFi network and the cloud. At the same time, the user can use the mobile phone's cellular data, such as 4G or 5G signals, to communicate wirelessly with the cloud.

[0033] At this time, the user sends a power-on command to the cloud 300 via the wireless network through the mobile communication device, the cloud 300 sends the power-on command via the wireless network, the smart power supply receives the power-on command and confirms the control command, the smart power supply starts up the electrical device, and at the same time, the smart power supply uploads the status information to the cloud.

[0034] For further example, when a user carries the smart power supply of a smart terminal and is outdoors, and is out of the range of a WiFi network, the smart power supply of the smart terminal can connect to the cloud 300 using a cellular, e.g., 4G or 5G, communication module, and the user can use the cellular data, e.g., 4G or 5G signal of the mobile phone to wirelessly communicate with the cloud 300.

[0035] At this time, the user sends a power-on command to the cloud 300 through a 4G or 5G network via a mobile communication device, the cloud 300 sends the power-on command through the 4G or 5G network, the smart terminal receives the power-on command and controls the smart power supply to start up the electrical device, and at the same time, the smart power supply uploads and stores the status information to the cloud through the 4G or 5G network.

[0036] 2a and 2b show a schematic diagram of a control system for a control electric device according to another embodiment of the present application, which can transmit control commands via an energy storage power source to extend the communication distance between a mobile communication device and a smart terminal, and the control system includes: a mobile communication device for a user to input control command information; Cloud 300 for uploading information and transferring command information; an energy storage power source 400 for transmitting command information; and A smart terminal for a user to receive command information sent from a mobile communication device, execute control commands, and realize corresponding control operations. The above smart terminal includes a smart power source 100 and an electrical device 200, and the smart power source 100 is used to supply power to the electrical device 200. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2 a, the mobile communication device wirelessly communicates with the cloud, and at the same time, the mobile communication device wirelessly communicates with the energy storage power source, and the energy storage power source wirelessly communicates with the smart power source of the smart terminal, and the smart power source receives the command sent from the energy storage power source and confirms the control command, and at the same time, the smart power source sends status information to the energy storage power source, and the energy storage power source receives the status information and sends it to the mobile communication device, and the mobile communication device uploads the status information to the cloud and stores it.

[0037] For example, when a user carries an energy storage power source and a smart power source and is outdoors and out of range of a WiFi network, the smart power source can be connected to the energy storage power source using a non-cellular, e.g., WiFi or Bluetooth, communication module, and the energy storage power source can be connected to a mobile communication device using a non-cellular, e.g., WiFi or Bluetooth, communication module, so that the user can wirelessly communicate with the cloud 300 using the mobile phone's cellular data, e.g., 4G or 5G signal.

[0038] At this time, the user sends a power-on command to the energy storage power supply via WiFi or Bluetooth through the mobile communication device, the energy storage power supply transmits the power-on command information via the WiFi or Bluetooth network, the smart power supply of the fan receives the power-on command, confirms the control command, and controls the smart power supply to start the fan.

[0039] In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 2b, the smart power supply is wirelessly connected to the energy storage power supply, which is in wireless communication with the cloud, and the cloud is in wireless communication with the mobile communication device. After receiving a user's command, the mobile communication device transmits it to the cloud, which then sends the command information to the energy storage power supply. The smart power supply receives the command information transmitted from the energy storage power supply, confirms the command, and executes the control command. At the same time, the smart power supply uploads and stores its status information to the cloud via the energy storage power supply.

[0040] For example, assume that a user brings an energy storage power supply and a smart power supply and is outdoors and is not covered by a WiFi network. The smart power supply is connected to the energy storage power supply via a WiFi or Bluetooth communication module, and the energy storage power supply is connected to the cloud 300 via a cellular communication, e.g., 4G or 5G communication module. The user can wirelessly communicate with the cloud 300 via a mobile phone's cellular data, e.g., 4G or 5G signal.

[0041] At this time, the user sends a power-on command via a mobile communication device through a 4G or 5G network to the cloud 300. The cloud 300 sends the power-on command to the energy storage power source through a 4G or 5G network, and the smart terminal receives the power-on command transmitted from the energy storage power source, confirms the command, and controls the smart power source to start up the electrical device.

[0042] Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of a control system for a control electrical device according to another example of the present application. When the first smart power source 110 and the energy storage power source 400 are electrically connected, the cell communication module of the first smart power source 110 or the energy storage power source 400 is activated. The control system includes: a mobile communication device for a user to input control command information; Cloud 300 for uploading information and transferring command information; an energy storage power source 400 for transmitting command information; a first smart power source 110 providing a wireless network; and A smart device that receives control commands and carries out those commands. The above-mentioned mobile communication device communicates wirelessly with the cloud 300, the first smart power source 110 or the energy storage power source 400 communicates wirelessly with the cloud, and the smart terminal receives control command information transferred from the first smart power source 110 or the energy storage power source 400 and executes the command. The aforementioned smart terminal includes a second smart power source 120 and an electrical device 200, and the second smart power source 120 is used to supply power to the electrical device 200.

[0043] The aforementioned first smart power source 110 or the energy storage power source 400 is equipped with a cellular module (e.g., 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G / NB-IOT / LTE-M), and when the first smart power source 110 is electrically connected to the energy storage power source 400, the cellular module of the first smart power source 110 or the energy storage power source 400 is activated. At this time, the first smart power source 110 or the energy storage power source 400 communicates wirelessly with the cloud via a wireless cellular network; specifically, the energy storage power source 400 has a mounting portion 407 for accommodating an electrical connection with the first smart power source 110; the first smart power source 110 is adapted to the mounting portion 407 so that the first smart power source 110 is aligned and attached to the energy storage power source 400, and simultaneously achieves an electrical connection; more specifically, the mounting portion has other electronic terminals that electrically interface with the electronic terminals of the first smart power source 110; and at this time, the control unit of the energy storage power source 400 or the first smart power source 110 detects the corresponding electrical signals and activates the wireless cellular communication function of the energy storage power source 400 or the first smart power source 110.

[0044] Alternatively, when the first smart power source 110 and the energy storage power source 400 are aligned and installed, and their signals are connected at the same time, specifically, the mounting portion has another signal terminal that is electrically connected to the signal terminal of the first smart power source 110, and when the two are attached, the signals of the two are handshake-identified, and the wireless cellular communication function of the energized energy storage power source 400 or the first smart power source 110 is performed.

[0045] The first smart power source 110 or the energy storage power source 400 is equipped with a non-cellular communication module (e.g., WiFi / Bluetooth / ZigBee / Lora / Sigfox), and the first smart power source 110 or the energy storage power source 400 communicates wirelessly with the second smart power source via the non-cellular network to transfer control commands.

[0046] What is relatively advantageous is that the aforementioned first smart power source 110 combines a cellular communication module (e.g., 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G / NB-IOT / LTE-M) and a non-cellular communication module (e.g., WiFi / Bluetooth / ZigBee / Lora / Sigfox), in which case the first smart power source 110 can be used as a mobile WiFi device. For example, when a user carries the energy storage power source 400 and the first smart power source 110 outdoors and is not covered by a WiFi network, the first smart power source 110 is attached to the energy storage power source 400, the wireless cellular communication function of the first smart power source 110 is activated, the first smart power source 110 with the activated wireless cellular communication function is connected to the cloud 300 via cellular communication, for example, a 4G or 5G communication module, and the second smart power source 120 is connected to the first smart power source 110 with the activated wireless cellular communication function via a non-cellular type, for example, a WiFi or Bluetooth communication module, and the user can wirelessly communicate with the cloud 300 via mobile phone cellular data, for example, a 4G or 5G signal.

[0047] At this time, the user uses the mobile communication device to issue a power-on command to the cloud 300 through the wireless network, the cloud 300 issues a power-on command through the wireless network, the first smart power source 110 with the activated wireless cellular communication function sends the power-on command to the second smart power source 120 through the connected wireless network, and the control unit of the second smart power source 120 receives the power-on command through the connected wireless network and starts up the fan supplied by the second smart power source 120.

[0048] 4a and 4b are schematic diagrams showing a control system of a control electrical device according to another embodiment of the present invention, which is suitable for a situation where there is no local network, especially for an outdoor environment, and includes: a mobile communication device for a user to input control command information; a mobile WiFi device 600 for providing a WiFi network; and A smart terminal for receiving command information and executing control commands. The above smart terminal includes a smart power supply 100 and an electrical device 200, and the smart power supply 100 is used to supply power to the electrical device 200.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4a, when the smart terminal is within the range of the WiFi network of the mobile WiFi device and the mobile communication device is also connected to the WiFi network of the mobile WiFi device, the smart power supply of the smart terminal wirelessly communicates with the mobile communication device through the WiFi network, receives and confirms the control command, and then executes the command.

[0050] At this time, the control system also includes Cloud 300, which is used to store the status information uploaded by the smart terminal, and the mobile WiFi device communicates wirelessly with the cloud using on-board data such as 4G / 5G.

[0051] For example, if a user brings a mobile WiFi device and the smart power supply is outdoors, the mobile communication device and the smart power supply are within the range of the WiFi network of the mobile WiFi device, and the mobile communication device communicates wirelessly with the smart power supply via the WiFi network.

[0052] At this time, the user sends a power-on command to the smart power supply via the WiFi network via the mobile communication device, and after receiving the power-on command, the smart power supply confirms the command and starts up the electrical device through the smart power supply.

[0053] In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4b, the control system also includes an energy storage power supply, which is within the network coverage of the mobile WiFi device and is connected to the WiFi network of the mobile WiFi device. The energy storage power supply can communicate wirelessly with the mobile communication device via the WiFi network, and the smart power supply of the smart terminal connects to the energy storage power supply via a non-cellular network (e.g., a Bluetooth communication module) to receive and execute control commands. The energy storage power supply also includes a gateway module that converts Bluetooth signals into WiFi signals and vice versa. The smart power supply can receive control commands transmitted from the energy storage power supply even when it is not within the network coverage of the mobile WiFi device or is beyond its network coverage range, thereby extending the communication distance.

[0054] The control system also includes Cloud 300, which is used to store status information uploaded from smart devices. Mobile WiFi devices connect to the cloud wirelessly using their own cellular data (e.g., 4G / 5G).

[0055] For example, when a user goes out with a mobile WiFi device and an energy storage smart power supply, the mobile communication device and the energy storage power supply are within the WiFi network coverage of the mobile WiFi device, the mobile communication device communicates wirelessly with the energy storage power supply via the WiFi network, and the smart power supply communicates wirelessly with the energy storage power supply via its own Bluetooth module. At this time, the user sends a power-on command to the energy storage power supply through the WiFi network via the mobile communication device, the energy storage power supply converts the WiFi signal of the command into a Bluetooth signal, and sends the command to the smart power supply through the Bluetooth module. After receiving the power-on command, the smart power supply confirms the command and starts up the electrical device using the smart power supply.

[0056] Figure 5 is another diagram of a control system for a control electric device according to another embodiment of this application. This control system for a control electric device is used in an external network environment, where an energy storage power source receives command information from a user. The control system for this electric device includes: an energy storage power source 400 for transmitting command information to the smart terminal; and The smart terminal is for receiving command information sent from the mobile communication device, executing the control command, and realizing the corresponding control operation.

[0057] The smart terminal includes a smart power source 100 and an electrical device 200, and the smart power source 100 provides power to the electrical device 200.

[0058] As shown in Figure 5, the energy storage power supply 400 wirelessly connects to the smart power supply through its own non-cellular wireless communication module, and controls the electrical device 200 connected to the smart power supply via power. The energy storage power supply receives command information from the user through its own input device and sends the command information to the smart power supply of the smart terminal. After receiving the command, the smart power supply executes the command and realizes the operation corresponding to the command.

[0059] For example, a user can issue a voice command to send a control command to the energy storage power supply to start the cleaning robot, the energy storage power supply will receive the command and send it to the smart power supply of the cleaning robot, the smart power supply will receive the command, confirm the control command and then start the cleaning robot via the smart power supply.

[0060] The processing logic of the above electric devices is cached in the energy storage power source and maintained by the energy storage power source. When a network is available, this processing logic can be transmitted to the energy storage power source via a wireless network and updated.

[0061] In some embodiments, the control system of the above-mentioned control electrical device can also be applied in a scene-linked state, i.e., the energy storage power source 400 can send a control command to the smart terminal after detecting a predetermined trigger condition.

[0062] For example, when the predetermined time point is reached, the energy storage power supply will send a command to start the cleaning robot to the cleaning robot's smart power supply. After receiving the command, the cleaning robot's smart power supply will check the command, perform the corresponding operation according to the command, and start the cleaning robot at the scheduled time.

[0063] Figures 6a and 6b are schematic diagrams of an energy storage power source shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, in which the energy storage power source simultaneously controls multiple smart terminals, that is, when there are multiple smart terminals in the above control system, the energy storage power source can simultaneously monitor multiple smart power sources that are wirelessly connected to the energy storage power source.

[0064] In some embodiments, in an indoor environment, the energy storage power supply 400 can simultaneously control multiple smart devices, such as speakers, projectors, cabinet lights, vacuum cleaners, robotic vacuum cleaners, and hair dryers. As shown in FIG. 5a, the energy storage power supply can simultaneously connect to multiple smart devices via wireless communication. After receiving a control command, the energy storage power supply transmits the command to the smart power supply of the connected smart device. For example, if the energy storage power supply 400 receives a command to start a robotic vacuum cleaner, it transmits the command to the robotic vacuum cleaner. After the smart power supply of the robotic vacuum cleaner receives the command, the smart power supply activates the robotic vacuum cleaner's power supply. If the energy storage power supply 400 receives a command to increase the fan's speed, it transmits the command to the fan. The smart power supply of the fan receives the command and increases the fan's speed, i.e., increases the output voltage supplied by the smart power supply to the fan. In some embodiments, in an outdoor environment, the energy storage power supply 400 can simultaneously control multiple smart devices, such as a speaker, a projector, a camping light, an outdoor fan, and an outdoor air conditioner. That is, the energy storage power supply 400 can simultaneously wirelessly connect to multiple smart devices, such as a speaker and a camping light, and after receiving a control command, the energy storage power supply transmits the command to the smart power supply. As shown in FIG. 5b, for example, after receiving a command to turn on the camping light, the energy storage power supply 400 forwards the command to the camping light. After the camping light's smart power supply receives the command, the smart power supply turns on the camping light. After receiving a command to turn up the volume again, the energy storage power supply 400 forwards the command to the speaker's smart power supply. After the speaker's smart power supply receives the command, the speaker's volume is turned up.

[0065] In some embodiments, the above control command is determined by the energy storage power source, i.e., after the energy storage power source receives the control command, it determines the smart terminal that will execute the above control command, and sends the command to the corresponding smart terminal, which then executes the command after receiving it.

[0066] Specifically, the method for determining which smart terminal should execute a command involves the energy storage power supply wirelessly communicating with each smart terminal, where the energy storage power supply assigns a number to each connected smart terminal according to a predetermined rule. Here, the predetermined rule is to classify the smart terminals by model and / or function, and then sort them by their unique physical addresses. The smart terminal number can be composed of a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. For example, all smart terminals can be first classified by model, and if there are multiple smart terminals in the same category, they can be sorted by physical addresses. The above numbering results and numbering rule are stored in the storage module of the energy storage power supply, forming a database.

[0067] For example, in an indoor environment, after an energy storage power supply receives a control command to start a vacuum cleaner, it identifies the command information, determines the number of the smart terminal that will execute the control command, and sends a command to start the power supply to the smart terminal with the corresponding number, i.e., the vacuum cleaner. After the smart power supply of the vacuum cleaner receives the information, the smart power supply starts the vacuum cleaner.

[0068] In some other embodiments, the smart power source determines the control command, i.e., after the energy storage power source receives the control command, it forwards it to all smart terminals that have wireless communication connections with it, and after the smart power source of the smart terminal receives the control command, it determines whether the command is to be executed by itself. If it is to be executed by itself, the smart terminal executes the command; if not, the smart terminal does not execute the command.

[0069] For example, in an outdoor environment, after an energy storage power supply receives a control command to turn off a camping light, it will send the control command to all smart devices that are connected to it by wireless communication. Among them, after the smart power supply of the speaker receives the command, it will confirm that the command is not executed by itself and will not execute the command. On the other hand, after the smart power supply of the camping light receives the command, it will execute the command by itself and confirm that the command content is to turn off the power, and then it will control the camping light to turn off.

[0070] In some embodiments, scene coordination can also be formed between the above-mentioned multiple smart devices and the energy storage power source. That is, when smart device 1 triggers a set trigger condition, the energy storage power source receives the information sent from smart device 1 and sends an execution command to smart device 2, which then executes the command after receiving it. For example, when the projector has played for 20 minutes, the projector's smart power source sends information that the movie has played for 20 minutes to the energy storage power source. After receiving this information, the energy storage power source sends a control command to turn on the string lights to the smart power source of the string lights. After receiving the command, the smart power source of the string lights controls the string lights to turn on. This is shown in Figure 5c.

[0071] The above trigger conditions, execution actions, and corresponding execution programs are all stored in the energy storage power supply and maintained by the energy storage power supply, where the above execution program can be generated by the computing power module of the energy storage power supply based on the trigger conditions and execution actions.

[0072] 7a and 7b are conceptual diagrams of another type of energy storage power source according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application, which controls multiple smart terminals, in which at least one smart power source of the smart terminal is installed between the energy storage power source and the smart terminal that executes the control command, and is used to transmit control command information. As shown in FIG. 7a, another smart power source is installed between the energy storage power source and the smart power source, and is used to transmit control command information.

[0073] Specifically, when smart terminal 1 that issued the above command is beyond the communication range of the energy storage power supply, if there is a smart power supply of smart terminal 2 between the energy storage power supply and smart terminal 1, the energy storage power supply will forward the control command for the electrical device of smart terminal 1 to the smart power supply of smart terminal 2. After smart terminal 2's smart power supply receives the control command, it will check whether the command can be executed by itself. If not, it will forward the command information to smart terminal 1's smart power supply. After smart terminal 1's smart power supply receives the command, it will execute the control command.

[0074] For example, the energy storage power supply wirelessly connects to the fan's smart power supply via a non-cellular connection, such as WiFi or Bluetooth, and the fan's smart power supply wirelessly connects to the vacuum cleaner robot's smart power supply via a non-cellular connection, such as WiFi or Bluetooth. After the energy storage power supply receives a control command to turn on the vacuum cleaner robot, it sends the control command to the fan's smart power supply. After the fan's smart power supply receives the control command, it verifies that the command is not executed by itself and then forwards the command to turn on the vacuum cleaner robot to the vacuum cleaner robot's smart power supply. After the vacuum cleaner robot's smart power supply receives the command, it verifies that the command is executed and controls the vacuum cleaner robot to turn on.

[0075] Of course, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7b, there may be multiple smart power supplies of smart terminals between the above energy storage power supply and the smart terminal 1, that is, the command to control the smart terminal 1 may be transmitted via the smart power supplies of multiple smart terminals, thereby extending the communication distance.

[0076] In the above-described embodiments, the status information may include operating parameters of the smart power supply and / or operating parameters of the electric device, and further operating parameters of the energy storage power supply. Specifically, the operating parameters of the smart power supply may be one or more of a voltage parameter, a current parameter, a temperature parameter, a state-of-charge parameter, etc. The operating parameters of the electric device may be one or more of a working power parameter, a working mode parameter, a working time parameter, a position parameter, a temperature parameter, etc. The operating parameters of the energy storage power supply may be one or more of a voltage parameter, a current parameter, a temperature parameter, a state-of-charge parameter, etc. It should be noted that the above are merely examples and are not limited to the above-described operating parameters.

[0077] In the above-described embodiments, the control command can be to turn on or off a power supply, or to adjust output parameters. For example, if the smart terminal is a lighting device, the control system can remotely open or close the lighting device, or remotely control the lighting intensity, color temperature, lighting time, etc. If the lighting device is a fan, the control system can remotely control the fan's opening / closing, airflow volume, air direction, etc.

[0078] Specifically, the above-mentioned output parameters may include one or more of output power, output time, output current direction, output mode, etc. Please note that the above are only examples and are not limited to the above-mentioned output parameters.

[0079] The control commands mentioned above also include automatic power cut-off. That is, if an abnormality occurs in the smart power supply and / or the electrical device, the smart power supply will automatically cut off the electrical device. For example, if the temperature of a smart power supply for an electric fan is abnormal, the smart power supply will stop supplying power to the fan.

[0080] The above-mentioned abnormality detection method is as follows: the above-mentioned smart power supply processes the collected parameter information and monitors whether the operating status is abnormal. Specifically, after the smart power supply collects parameters, it compares the parameters with itself and / or with each other, and determines whether an abnormality has occurred based on the comparison results. If an abnormality occurs, the smart power supply will stop the operation of the electrical equipment. Here, self-comparison means comparing the currently collected parameters with previously saved parameters, and mutual comparison means comparing the currently collected parameters with preset thresholds.

[0081] If the smart power supply does not show any abnormalities, it will save the collected parameters. If the currently collected parameters match the previously saved parameters, it will change the recording time to the current time. If they do not match, it will replace the previous parameters with the current parameters, change the recording time to the current time, and upload the collected parameters to the cloud.

[0082] For example, the collected parameters mentioned above are voltage parameters output by the smart power supply to the electrical device, and the current voltage parameters are compared with previously stored voltage parameters. If there is a change between the current voltage parameters and the previously stored voltage parameters, the change information is sent to the mobile communication device to notify the user that the voltage parameters of the smart power supply have changed and stored. The current voltage parameters can also be compared with previously stored voltage thresholds. If the current voltage parameters are higher or lower than the previously stored voltage thresholds, an abnormality has occurred. The smart power supply will stop supplying power to the electrical device based on the abnormality result and send reminder information to the mobile communication device to notify the user.

[0083] Of course, the above-mentioned smart power supply can also monitor the charging status information of the smart power supply, that is, collect and compare parameters such as voltage, current, and temperature during charging of the smart power supply in real time to determine whether any abnormalities occur.

[0084] For example, the collected data mentioned above is the temperature parameter when the smart power supply is charging. The collected temperature data is compared with the pre-stored temperature threshold. If the current temperature exceeds the temperature threshold, an abnormality occurs. The smart power supply will stop charging based on the processing result and send a reminder to the mobile communication device to notify the user.

[0085] According to some embodiments of this application, the mobile communication device includes at least a communication device, a processing device, and storage. The communication device is used to send and receive signals over a wired or wireless network. The processing device includes an application processing unit and an RF / digital signal processor.

[0086] In some embodiments of this application, the cloud described above is a server. A server, as referred to herein, should be understood as a business entity that provides processing, database, and communications facilities. For example, a server can refer to a single physical processor with associated communications, data storage, and database facilities. Or, it can refer to a networked or clustered collection of processors and associated network and storage devices, operating software and one or more database systems and application software that support the services provided by the server. While servers may vary significantly in configuration and performance, they typically include one or more central processing units and storage. Servers also include one or more mass storage devices, one or more power sources, one or more wired or wireless network interfaces, one or more input / output interfaces, or one or more operating systems, such as Windows Server, Mac OS X, Unix, Linux, or FreeBSD.

According to some embodiments of this application, the aforementioned smart devices include: an electrical device 200; and The smart power source 100 wirelessly connects to the mobile communication device, the cloud, or the energy storage power source described above to control the electrical device 200. The above mentioned smart devices also include: The actuator 900 can be a circuit switch to perform the commanded actions described above. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8a, the actuator 900 is located on the smart power source 100, which means that the smart power source 100 executes the control commands and performs the corresponding control operations on the electrical devices. In another implementation example, as shown in Figure 8b, the actuator 900 is installed in the electric device 200, that is, it sends a control command to the electric device, and the electric device executes the control command to realize the corresponding control operation. At this time, the communication connection between the smart power supply and the electric device can be made through a communication interface or a wireless network, for example, by using a short-range wireless communication module such as Wifi, Bluetooth, or NFC.

[0089] Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of the functional modules of the smart power supply 100, which includes: The first battery unit 101 is for supplying power to the electric device 200, and The first wireless communication unit 102 is for wireless communication connection with the above-mentioned mobile communication device, cloud, or energy storage power source. The first battery unit 101 has at least one battery 10, such as a 21700 battery, but it could also have three 21700 batteries in series or five 21700 batteries in series to meet the needs of electrical devices with different voltage platforms. Note that these are examples only and are not limited to 21700 batteries; other types of batteries, such as 18650 batteries, could also be used.

[0090] The first battery unit also includes at least one battery module, which is configured by connecting multiple batteries in series or parallel, and is used as an energy storage power source or energy storage station 100e, see FIG. 10e. Furthermore, the above-mentioned smart power supply 100 is configured by connecting at least a first smart power supply and a second smart power supply in series or parallel.

[0091] Specifically, the smart power source 100 described above can come in a variety of forms, such as: Referring to Figure 10a, the smart power supply 100a is a schematic diagram of a single battery, and it has only one 21700 battery 10 built in. Referring to Figure 10b, the smart power supply 100b is a schematic diagram of a three-battery configuration, which contains three 21700 batteries 10 connected in series. Referring to Figure 10c, the smart power supply 100c is a schematic diagram of a five-battery configuration, which contains five series-connected 21700 batteries 10. Referring to Figure 10d, the smart power supply 100d is a schematic diagram of a shape in which multiple single-battery-shaped smart power supplies (see Figure 10a) are combined with each other, and it includes multiple smart power supplies, specifically four smart power supplies 100a connected in series or parallel, but of course multiple smart power supplies 100b and smart power supplies 100c connected in series or parallel are also possible. As shown in Fig. 10e, the smart power supply as an energy storage station includes at least one battery module, which is composed of multiple batteries 10. At this time, the battery unit is used as an energy storage power supply or an energy storage station.

[0092] The aforementioned electric device 200 is a power tool, which can be an electric drill, an electric angle grinder, an electric hammer, a sprayer, etc. It can also be an electric gardening tool, such as a pruner, a lawnmower, a chainsaw, etc. Or it can be an electric household tool, such as a vacuum cleaner, a coffee maker, an electric fan, or a juicer. Other types of electric devices are also possible, such as a hot melt gun, an air pump, or an emergency lighting fixture. Overall, the aforementioned electric device 200 generally refers to a work device that uses a secondary battery or a battery pack (e.g., an energy storage power source / energy storage station) as a power source. When the electric device 200 operates, it needs to be supplied with power from a smart power source.

[0093] The smart power supply 100 can be integrated into an electrical device 200 to provide power for the device. For example, the smart power supply 100a shown in FIGS. 11a and 11b can be detachably mounted on an indoor fan 200a, the smart power supply 100b shown in FIG. 11c can be mounted on a cleaning robot 200b, and the smart power supply 100c shown in FIG. 11d can be mounted on a vehicle-mounted refrigerator 200c. The smart power supply can also be external to the electrical device. For example, the smart power supply 100a can be configured as an energy storage power supply 100e, which can be externally mounted and supply power to the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 200c via a power or data line.

[0094] Of course, in a more preferred example, the smart power source 100 can be removably attached to the electrical device 200, in which case the smart power source 100 is suitable for various types of electrical devices 200. That is, the smart power source 100 can be used for power tools, power gardening tools, and power household tools. For example, if a user owns a 3.6V, 12V, or 20V Smart Power Supply 100, it can power not only an electric drill but also a pruner, a vacuum cleaner, and emergency lighting. Such a Smart Power Supply 100 can meet a variety of user needs.

[0095] The aforementioned electrical device is preferably an outdoor camping device, suitable for outdoor camping, and provides users with convenience when camping outdoors.

[0096] When the smart power supply 100 is attached to the electrical device 200, the smart power supply 100 is mechanically and electrically connected to provide power to the electrical device 200; the smart power supply 100 is secured to the electrical device 200 by the mechanical connection and provides electrical energy to the electrical device 200 by the electrical connection. The aforementioned first wireless communication unit 102 has at least a first communication module 1021, specifically, this first communication module 1021 can be of cellular type (e.g., 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G / NB-IOT / LTE-M) or non-cellular type (e.g., WiFi / Bluetooth / ZigBee / Lora / Sigfox), or both.

[0097] For example, a smart power supply can wirelessly connect to the cloud through a cellular communication module, such as a 4G / 5G communication module. It can also wirelessly connect to a mobile communication device or energy storage power supply through a non-cellular communication module, such as a WiFi / Bluetooth communication module. A smart power supply can also have two communication module groups at the same time, which means it can wirelessly connect to the cloud through its own cellular communication module, such as a 4G / 5G communication module, and wirelessly connect to a mobile communication device or energy storage power supply through its own non-cellular communication module, such as a WiFi / Bluetooth communication module, to exchange information.

[0098] Preferably, said first communication module 1021 is of a non-cellular type, which reduces the cost of network construction, and more preferably, said communication module is Bluetooth.

[0099] The aforementioned first wireless communication unit also has a first positioning module 1022, which is for determining the position of the smart power supply, and it is convenient for users to check the location information of the smart power supply.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first positioning module 1022 is a GPS module or a Beidou satellite module.

[0101] As shown in FIG. 9, the aforementioned smart power supply 100 also includes: The first discharge unit is for outputting power to the electric device and supplying power to the electric device; the first charging unit is for charging the first battery unit; The first collecting unit 103 is for collecting various information in real time; and The first control unit 104 is for controlling the above-mentioned actuators.

The first storage module 1042 is for storing the above information and / or programs, and is also for storing the above programs, and can upload the stored status information to the cloud after the wireless communication unit connects to a wireless network. In some embodiments, the first processing module can also be used to monitor the operating status of the smart power supply. That is, it can perform self-monitoring by comparing current parameters with previously stored parameters or with pre-stored thresholds to determine whether an abnormality has occurred. If an abnormality occurs, the smart power supply will stop operation of the electrical device. At the same time, it can also monitor the status of the smart power supply while it is charging. That is, it can monitor parameters such as voltage, current, and temperature while the smart power supply is charging.

[0105] In some embodiments, the storage module is used to temporarily store the state information collected by the first collecting unit in the absence of a network, and is used to transmit the state information temporarily stored in the storage module to the cloud through the first wireless communication unit after the first wireless communication unit connects to a wireless network. The storage module can be a flash chip, a random access memory, or a cache chip, and of course can also be a memory component for storing other data information.

[0106] In some embodiments, the smart power supply further includes a first communication interface, which is communicatively connected to a first control unit. The first control unit can bidirectionally communicate with the energy storage power source or the cloud through the first communication interface, and can also bidirectionally communicate with a mobile communication device through the first communication interface. Of course, the first communication interface is not a required component of the smart power supply.

[0107] In some embodiments, the smart power supply further includes a first display, which is communicatively connected to the first control unit, and which can display user-requested content (e.g., temperature, remaining battery power, location information, etc.) and / or an interface (e.g., an interactive interface) as needed. Of course, the first display is not a required component of the smart power supply.

[0108] FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of the functional modules of an energy storage power supply 400, which is in the form of an energy storage station, and which includes: a second battery unit 401; a second wireless communication unit 402 for wireless communication connection with the cloud or a mobile communication device; and The inverter unit 405 converts the DC power output from the second battery unit into AC power, and outputs AC and DC power to meet the power demands of different electrical devices. The second battery unit 401 has at least one battery module, which is configured by connecting a plurality of batteries 10 in series or in parallel, and the batteries 10 can be 21700 batteries, or other types of batteries, such as 18650 batteries.

[0109] This second wireless communication unit 402 has at least one set of second communication modules 4021, which can be cellular (e.g., 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G / NB-IOT / LTE-M) or non-cellular (e.g., WiFi / Bluetooth / ZigBee / Lora / Sigfox) type, or can have two sets of second communication modules, i.e., both cellular and non-cellular communication modules. Specifically, the above-mentioned energy storage power source wirelessly connects to the cloud via its own cellular communication module, for example, a 4G / 5G communication module. The energy storage power source also wirelessly connects to a mobile communication device via its own non-cellular communication module, for example, a WiFi / Bluetooth communication module. Furthermore, the energy storage power source has both its own cellular communication module and non-cellular communication module, and this energy storage power source can wirelessly connect to a mobile communication device via its own non-cellular communication module, for example, a WiFi / Bluetooth communication module, and simultaneously wirelessly connect to the cloud via its own cellular communication module, for example, a 4G / 5G communication module.

[0110] The above-mentioned second wireless communication unit 402 further includes a second location information module 4022, which is for determining the location information of the energy storage power source, and in some embodiments, the above-mentioned second location information module 4022 is a GPS module or a Beidou satellite module.

[0111] As shown in FIG. 12 , the above energy storage power supply 400 further includes: a second discharge unit, for outputting power; a second charging unit, for charging the second battery unit; a second collecting unit 403 for collecting status information of the energy storage power source in real time; and A second control unit 404, for processing various information and executing programs. The second discharge unit includes a DC discharge module and an AC discharge module, has DC output and AC output functions, and is also equipped with a cigarette lighter socket (on-board charging port) and a PD bidirectional charging / discharging port, etc. The second charging unit also has a streetcar charging port, a solar panel charging port, etc. In some embodiments, the second collecting unit 403 is for collecting status information of the energy storage power supply in real time, such as status information of voltage, current, temperature, etc. The second collecting unit 403 can be implemented as a sensor for collecting various information in real time, such as temperature information, location information, etc. The second collecting unit can also be implemented as a collector, such as a voltage collector for collecting voltage parameters of the smart power supply, a current collector for collecting current parameters of the smart power supply, or a temperature collector for collecting temperature parameters of the smart power supply.

[0112] In some embodiments, the voltage collector may be one of a current shunt, a transformer, a Hall element current sensor, or a fiber optic sensor. In some embodiments, the current collection method used by the current collector can be one of a relay array method, a constant current source method, an isolated operational amplifier method, a voltage / frequency conversion circuit method, or a linear optocoupler amplifier circuit method, and preferably, a constant current source method.

[0113] In some embodiments, the temperature collector may employ one of a heat sensitive resistor, a thermocouple, or an integrated temperature sensor. Preferably, the integrated temperature sensor is used. The aforementioned second control unit 404 includes at least: The second processing module 4041 is for processing information, such as collecting status information such as voltage, current, and temperature, and for controlling the execution of programs, such as programs that control transfer instructions and programs that determine instructions. A second storage module 4042 is for storing information and / or programs, such as energy storage power source status information and pre-stored execution programs.

[0114] In some embodiments, the control unit includes a computing module that can be used to generate a program. Specifically, after a user inputs a trigger condition and an execution action, the computing module generates a corresponding execution program based on the trigger condition and the execution action. The computing module can be embedded within the energy storage power source. As shown in FIG. 13a, the computing module can also be located outside the energy storage power source. That is, the computing module and the storage module together form a computing device 700, which is located outside the energy storage power source. The energy storage power source is provided with a port 406, and the computing device is provided with a plug that connects to the port. When the computing device is connected to the energy storage power source, the plug is connected to the port, thereby realizing an electrical and communication connection between the two. As shown in FIG. 13b.

[0115] As shown in Figure 12, the aforementioned energy storage sources also include: An input device for a user to input command information, the input device being communicatively coupled to the second control unit.

[0116] In some embodiments, the input device may be a human-machine interaction unit, and the interaction method of the human-machine interaction unit may adopt one or more of natural interaction methods such as voice, gesture, gaze, facial expression, etc., or physiological data interaction methods such as electroencephalogram, electromyogram, skin current, etc. Preferably, the human-machine interaction unit is an audio collector or a camera. In some embodiments, the input device may also provide input for the aforementioned trigger conditions and execution actions, thereby assisting the operation of the computational power module. In some embodiments, the energy storage power supply includes a second display, which is communicatively coupled to the second control unit. The second display can optionally display user-requested content (e.g., temperature, remaining battery power, location information, etc.) or an interface (e.g., an interaction interface). Of course, the second display is not a required component of the energy storage power supply. The energy storage power source 400 is used to supply power to the smart power source 100 of the smart terminal. That is, when the smart power source 100 runs out of power, the user can supply power to the smart power source 100 through the energy storage power source 400. Specifically, the energy storage power source 400 is provided with a mounting section 407 for mounting the smart power source in the mounting section 407 of the energy storage power source, so that the energy storage power source can supply power to the smart power source. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, when the smart power source 100a of a fan runs out of power, the smart power source 100a is removed from the fan 200a and inserted into the mounting section 407 of the energy storage power source 400, and power is supplied from the energy storage power source 400 to the smart power source 100a.

[0117] Preferably, the capacity (Ah) of the energy storage power supply 400 is greater than the capacity (Ah) of the smart power supply 100 . 15a is a multi-way alternating flow chart of an electrical device control method according to an embodiment of the present application. The specific steps of the method are described in detail below with reference to FIG. 15a: Step 501: A control command is sent from the mobile communication device to the smart power supply. The first time a user uses a smart power supply to control an electrical device, they must register online and enter the required user information. Alternatively, the user can download the user-end application for the smart power supply from the cloud and install it locally on their mobile communication device. Alternatively, the user's mobile communication device may already have the user-end application for the smart power supply pre-installed. After logging in to their user account and launching the user-end application on their mobile communication device, a connection between the mobile communication device and the smart power supply is established. After the connection with the cloud is established, the user can input a control command into their mobile communication device, such as a power-on command. The mobile communication device establishes a wireless connection with the smart power supply 200 and transmits the power-on command input by the user to the smart power supply. Step 502: The smart power supply 200 determines a corresponding control operation based on the received control command. Step 503: The smart power supply 200 executes a control operation to control the electric device 100.

[0118] The smart power supply 200 recognizes the power-on command and determines that the corresponding control operation is to open the switch of the electric fan. Based on the recognized power-on command, it drives the internal battery to supply power to the connected electric fan. Step 504: The smart power supply 200 determines its own battery status information. The smart power supply 200 can collect status information such as current, voltage, and temperature of the battery unit in real time through its first collection unit 103. Step 505: The smart power source 200 transmits the determined status information to the mobile communication device. Step 506: The mobile communication device uploads the received state information to the cloud 300. Step 507: The cloud 300 stores the received state information.
