Intelligent Home Device Standby Method Without Third-Party Server
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The implementation of network standby in intelligent home devices is complex and requires participation of a third-party server, which complicates the process of maintaining user experience and power savings.
Innovation Solution
A method where an intelligent home device receives a standby indication message, keeps in communication with a third-party server, and sends a wake-up request based on a service request, eliminating the need for a third-party server's participation by using a preset correspondence that includes service identifiers, port numbers, and IP addresses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by stationary object
If the intelligent home device enters network standby mode to save power, then power consumption is reduced, but the standby process becomes complex and requires participation of a third-party server
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the third-party server component from the network standby process. By enabling direct peer-to-peer communication between intelligent home devices, the system removes the intermediary server that previously managed wake-up packets and service requests, thereby simplifying the standby process while maintaining power-saving capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service by enabling intelligent home devices to autonomously manage their own standby and wake-up operations without external server assistance. Devices maintain connection state information locally and can directly send and receive wake-up packets, allowing the system to serve itself without third-party intervention
2Ease of operation
If the intelligent home device maintains CPU in working mode to provide intelligent services in background, then user experience is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by enabling the CPU to dynamically switch between working mode and sleep mode based on service requirements. The device can enter standby state with CPU in sleep mode to save power, yet still respond to wake-up packets for services like push video/photo reception and video call incoming calls, thereby adapting power consumption to actual operational needs
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements periodic action through the use of wake-up packets that periodically activate the device from standby state. Instead of maintaining continuous CPU operation, the system uses periodic wake-up signals triggered by service events (such as incoming calls or push notifications) to activate the CPU only when needed, reducing overall power consumption while maintaining service availability

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a standby method, an intelligent home device, and a standby system, relate to the communications field, and implement standby of the intelligent home device that has a simple process and does not need participation of a third-party server. The method used in the embodiments of the present invention includes: receiving, by a first intelligent home device, a standby indication message sent by a second intelligent home device; keeping in communication with a third-party server corresponding to an intelligent service application of the second intelligent home device; and if a first service request sent by the third-party server is received, sending a wake-up request to the second intelligent home device according to the first service request and a preset correspondence, to wake up the second intelligent home device. The present invention is applied to standby of the intelligent home device.
