Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional smart home control systems face challenges with low transmission speed and poor real-time capability due to network interference, making it difficult to control smart home devices in real time, which can lead to severe consequences.
Innovation Solution
A communication terminal that connects and communicates with smart home devices using IoT protocols, specifically AllJoyn application protocols, to acquire and transmit messages in real time through preset modes such as short text messages or voice calls, enabling immediate notification and control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If traditional data packet transmission is used for home appliance communication, then network coverage can be achieved, but transmission speed is slow and real-time capability is poor due to network interference
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the communication process into direct peer-to-peer message passing between home appliances, bypassing the traditional centralized data packet transmission through network infrastructure. This segmentation eliminates network interference points and enables direct real-time communication between devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a message queue mechanism as an intermediary that allows home appliances to send messages directly to each other without traditional network protocol overhead. The message queue acts as a lightweight mediator that enables real-time communication while maintaining system architecture.
2Reliability
If IoT protocols like AllJoyn are implemented for real-time communication, then real-time control capability is improved, but device complexity increases due to protocol installation and configuration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the communication terminal perform multiple functions: it acts as both a traditional communication device and an AllJoyn protocol endpoint. By giving the terminal multi-functionality, the system achieves real-time control without adding separate dedicated protocol handling devices, thus managing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication terminal automatically installs and configures the AllJoyn protocol stack without requiring manual intervention. The system performs self-service by automatically acquiring and setting up the necessary protocol components, reducing the burden on users and simplifying deployment.
3Measurement precision
If message comparison and preset modes are used for alert transmission, then notification accuracy is improved, but information processing time is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-establishes a message comparison table with various alert types and their corresponding preset transmission modes before runtime. By performing the classification logic in advance and having predefined response patterns, the system minimizes real-time processing requirements while maintaining accurate notification delivery.

AI summary
An application method of a communication terminal is disclosed, the communication terminal being applied to a smart home system based on IoT protocols. The application method includes: installing, by the communication terminal the IoT protocols, acquiring, by the communication terminal, a first message from a device of the smart home system; and comparing the first message against a preset message comparison table, and, when a match is found, acquiring a second message matching the first message, and further sending the second message by the preset mode. Thus, the communication terminal according to the disclosure can connect to the appliances of the smart home system based on IoT protocols, enabling the smart home system relying on the communication terminal, which can provide realtime information reporting. In addition, the smart home system provides a low cost, a wide coverage area and a high intelligence.
