Home Network Gateway Room-Based Voice Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current home network systems lack the ability to efficiently remotely control home devices on a room basis and do not effectively utilize voice commands for user-centric control, limiting their adaptability to diverse user demands.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for remote control of home devices in a home network system, which includes receiving operation state information, determining control targets based on user commands, and transmitting processing results, utilizing a gateway with communication modules for wired/wireless communication and voice recognition capabilities to execute voice commands for room-specific control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If home network systems use traditional control methods, then device connectivity is established, but remote control efficiency and user adaptability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments control by room, allowing users to control devices in specific rooms independently. The gateway identifies rooms based on device locations and enables targeted control commands for specific rooms, improving remote control efficiency while maintaining system versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The gateway apparatus serves multiple functions: it acts as a central control node, performs voice recognition, identifies rooms based on device locations, and routes control commands appropriately. This multi-functionality enhances both remote control efficiency and adaptability to diverse user demands.
2Measurement precision
If the system implements room-based control, then control precision is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The gateway acts as an intermediary between user devices and home devices. It receives control commands, identifies the appropriate room based on device locations, determines the target device, and routes the command accordingly. This intermediary approach enables precise room-based control without requiring complex direct device-to-device communication protocols.
3Ease of operation
If voice recognition is integrated, then ease of operation is enhanced, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The gateway performs voice recognition and command interpretation in advance before routing to target devices. By processing voice commands centrally at the gateway rather than requiring real-time device-by-device communication, the system enhances ease of operation while managing processing time efficiently through centralized pre-processing.

AI summary
Provided is a remote control method and apparatus in a home network system including multiple home devices. The remote control method includes receiving operation state information from the respective multiple home devices, receiving a control command for operation control of at least one of the multiple home devices from a user device, determining a control target home device based on the control command, sending the control command to the determined control target home device, receiving processing result information corresponding to execution of the control command from the control target home device, and transmitting the processing result information to the user device.
