Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing smart home systems require complex and time-consuming user operations to create linkage scenarios between devices, necessitating multiple interface switches for association.
Innovation Solution
An intelligent device control method that enables devices to automatically associate with scenarios upon proximity, using a first electronic device to send configuration information to a hub device, allowing seamless scenario execution without manual interface switching.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users create linkage scenarios through scenario interface and home interface in existing smart home systems, then device association functionality is achieved, but user operation complexity increases and time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring scenario information and device information in the first electronic device before the association process. When the second electronic device approaches or contacts the first electronic device, the pre-configured information is automatically transmitted to the hub device, eliminating the need for users to manually navigate through multiple interfaces and complete complex association steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service through automatic detection of device proximity or contact, triggering the transmission of scenario and device information without requiring user intervention. The system automatically completes the association process between the second electronic device and the scenario by sending control instructions to the hub device, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring complex user operations.
2Ease of operation
If multiple interfaces are switched for device-scenario association in existing systems, then complete association functionality is achieved, but operation steps increase and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the scenario association function into a single interface displayed on the first electronic device. Instead of requiring users to switch between scenario interface and home interface, the patent combines scenario information, device information, and association functionality into one unified interface that is automatically utilized when the second electronic device approaches or contacts the first electronic device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces the first electronic device as an intermediary that holds and transmits both scenario information and device information to the hub device. This intermediary approach eliminates the need for users to navigate through multiple interfaces, as the first electronic device serves as a single point of interaction that facilitates the entire association process through automatic information transmission when device proximity or contact is detected.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides an intelligent device control method, an electronic device, and a system, and relates to the field of terminal technologies. The method includes: displaying a first interface, where the first interface includes information about a first scenario, and after detecting that a second electronic device is close to the first electronic device or the second electronic device is in contact with the first electronic device, sending configuration information of the first scenario and device information of the second electronic device to a third electronic device, so that the third electronic device associates the second electronic device with the first scenario.
