Cross-Device Control Mapping for Unified IoT Operation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing devices lack automatic coordination capabilities, requiring users to control multiple devices individually, which is inconvenient and hampers industrial chain cooperative capabilities among Internet of Things devices.
Innovation Solution
A coordinated control method and apparatus that acquire an operation signal, determine associated control events, and generate a control signal to control a target device in a coordinated manner, allowing multiple devices to be controlled through a single operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users control multiple devices individually through separate interfaces, then each device can be precisely controlled, but the operation process becomes complex and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges control of multiple devices into a single coordinated control interface. The system combines separate device control operations into one unified operation, allowing users to control multiple devices simultaneously through a single interface rather than switching between multiple separate controls.
Solution Approach 2:
The control interface is designed with universal functionality to handle multiple device types and control scenarios. A single interface can adapt to control different devices based on pre-configured coordination relationships, making the interface multi-functional rather than requiring separate specialized controls for each device.
2Adaptability or versatility
If devices operate independently without coordination, then device functionality is simple and reliable, but industrial chain cooperative capabilities are hampered
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary configuration of coordination relationships between devices before actual operation. Control rules and device associations are pre-established, allowing devices to automatically coordinate their operations without complex real-time decision-making, thus enabling cooperation while maintaining operational simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a control system that acts as an intermediary between multiple devices. This mediator manages the coordination logic and communication between devices, allowing them to cooperate effectively without each device needing complex built-in coordination capabilities, thus maintaining device simplicity while achieving system-level cooperation.
3Ease of operation
If a unified control system coordinates multiple devices, then operational convenience is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is segmented into modular components that can be independently configured and managed. Each device coordination relationship is treated as a separate controllable unit, allowing the system to scale complexity gradually rather than requiring a monolithic complex control structure, thus managing system complexity while providing unified control.

AI summary
A coordinated control method, an electronic device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for enhanced interaction between devices based on operation signals. The method involves acquiring an operation signal generated for a control operation on an operation object and determining a first control event associated with this signal. A second control event, which is associated with the first control event, is also determined. A control signal is then generated for a target device according to the second control event. The system adaptively configures control based on the relationship between the operation object and the target device, wherein a vehicle-mounted device and a smart household device can alternatively serve as the operation object or the target device depending on the specific configuration. Enhanced device interoperability and responsive control operations are achieved by adapting to the dynamic conditions and configurations of the user's environment.
