Control method and device for smart home
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing smart home control systems lack convenience as users need to separately access weather information and smart home applications, leading to inaccurate and complicated control processes.
Innovation Solution
A control method and apparatus that synchronously displays weather and smart home state information on a terminal, allowing for direct control of smart home devices through a trigger signal, eliminating the need to switch between applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users separately access weather information and smart home applications, then they can obtain comprehensive information, but the control process becomes complicated and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines weather information and smart home control functions into a single integrated application interface. Users can view weather data and control smart home devices without switching between separate applications, thereby retaining all necessary information while simplifying the control process and improving operational convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The smart home control application is designed to perform multiple functions: displaying weather information, monitoring smart home device states, and executing control operations. This multi-functional integration eliminates the need for separate applications and enhances both information retention and user convenience.
2Loss of information
If users switch between multiple applications to acquire different information, then they can access comprehensive data, but the operation becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges weather information display and smart home control capabilities into a unified application interface. This integration allows users to access all necessary information and perform control operations within a single application, reducing operational complexity while maintaining information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent integrates multiple information dimensions (weather data, device status, control functions) into a single unified interface space. By organizing these diverse information types and control operations within one application framework, the system reduces the complexity of switching between multiple applications while preserving comprehensive information access.

AI summary
Provided are a control method and apparatus for a smart home. The control method includes: acquiring the weather information of a region where a terminal is located, and acquiring state information of a target smart home from a smart home application, the smart home application being installed on the terminal (S102); synchronously displaying the state information of the target smart home and the weather information on a screen of the terminal (S104); receiving a trigger signal generated on the basis of the state information and the weather information (S106); and generating a control signal on the basis of the trigger signal, the control signal to control an operation state of the target smart home by means of the smart home application (S108). The technical problem in the conventional art of low control convenience of a smart home is solved.
