IoT Home Mode Control for Multi-Device State Presets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Internet of Things (IoT) technologies lack efficient methods for managing and controlling multiple intelligent devices, leading to user inconvenience due to the need for repeated operations and settings, especially in managing complex scenarios like home environments where multiple devices need to be synchronized to a desired state.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for processing data that involves a control device monitoring and saving state parameters of controlled devices, allowing users to configure and save preferred states for multiple devices in a preset mode, enabling seamless switching between modes (e.g., 'home mode') upon user command, using wireless and wired communication protocols like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually control each IoT device individually, then each device can be adjusted to desired states, but user operation time and complexity increase significantly when managing multiple devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple device control operations into a single unified operation. When a preset mode is activated, the control device simultaneously sends control instructions to multiple IoT devices, causing them to transition to target states in one action rather than requiring separate manual adjustments for each device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining preset modes that contain target states for multiple devices. These preset modes are configured in advance, so when activated, they immediately apply the pre-planned control instructions to all associated devices without requiring real-time manual configuration.
2Productivity
If multiple IoT devices are controlled simultaneously through preset modes, then user convenience and efficiency improve, but system complexity and configuration requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a control device as an intermediary between the user and multiple IoT devices. This intermediary manages the complexity by maintaining preset mode configurations and automatically generating appropriate control instructions, shielding users from the underlying system complexity while enabling efficient multi-device control.
Solution Approach 2:
The control device performs multiple functions: it monitors state parameters from various devices, stores preset mode configurations, determines appropriate target states based on current conditions, and sends control instructions to multiple different types of IoT devices. This multi-functionality consolidates complexity into a single universal controller.

AI summary
A method and device for processing data and a storage medium are provided. The method is applied to a control device, and includes that: an operation instruction for a state parameter of a controlled device is monitored (S11); and responsive to monitoring an operation instruction representing saving of the state parameter, a present state parameter of the controlled device is determined, and the determined present state parameter is saved as a state parameter in a preset mode (S12). Through the method, the degree of intelligence in configuring a state parameter of an expected state for the controlled device is improved.
