Bluetooth MESH Voice Control Gateway for Home Appliances
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current home appliances with voice control and Bluetooth functions cannot be uniformly operated and controlled, limiting user convenience as they typically use traditional Bluetooth instead of MESH technology, preventing collaboration between voice and MESH technologies.
Innovation Solution
Integration of voice control technology with Bluetooth MESH network technology allows for remote control of all devices through voice instructions, using both local and online recognition for higher accuracy and faster responses, with only a WIFI device connected to the router, reducing router burden and enabling infinite propagation through broadcast packets, and employing automatic frequency hopping for adaptability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional Bluetooth is used for device control, then device connectivity is achieved, but unified control of multiple home appliances cannot be realized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines voice control technology with Bluetooth MESH network technology to create a unified control system. The voice control module receives voice instructions and converts them to control signals, while the Bluetooth MESH module enables multi-device connectivity through mesh networking, allowing single voice commands to control multiple appliances simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The control system is designed with universal functionality to control various types of home appliances through a single interface. The system can handle different device types (lights, appliances, entertainment systems) through standardized voice commands and Bluetooth MESH communication protocols, making the control mechanism applicable across diverse device categories.
2Ease of operation
If all target devices are connected to the router, then comprehensive control is possible, but router burden increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network architecture into multiple components: a gateway device connected to the router, intermediate relay devices forming a Bluetooth MESH network, and target appliances. This segmentation allows devices to communicate through the mesh network without direct router connections, reducing router burden while maintaining control accessibility through the gateway.
Solution Approach 2:
The gateway device serves as an intermediary between the router and the Bluetooth MESH network. It receives control commands from the router and relays them through the mesh network to target devices. Conversely, it collects device status information and forwards it to the router, eliminating the need for direct router connections to all devices.
3Speed
If voice control instructions are processed locally only, then response speed is fast, but recognition accuracy is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary voice processing locally to extract key features and generate initial recognition results quickly. Simultaneously, it prepares and transmits voice data to the server for comprehensive analysis. This preliminary local action enables fast initial response while the server processing enhances accuracy, combining both speed and precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The system maintains continuous dual-path processing: local voice recognition operates continuously for immediate response, while server-based recognition processes the same voice data continuously for high-accuracy verification. Both recognition paths operate simultaneously and continuously, with results integrated to provide both fast response and high accuracy.
