Smart Space Semantic Map for Automated IoT Function Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users often need to manually operate to control functions among IoT devices, which limits the efficiency of interconnection and intercommunication in smart spaces.
Innovation Solution
A function control method and apparatus that utilize a smart space semantic map to determine the location of devices and trigger specific functions in IoT devices, allowing for automated control without user selection, using visual, acoustic, and microwave information to identify device locations and execute predetermined actions.

1Productivity
If manual operation is used to control functions among IoT devices, then device control can be performed, but the efficiency of interconnection and intercommunication is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables devices to automatically determine their locations in the smart space semantic map and autonomously identify suitable target devices for function execution without requiring manual user selection. The first device automatically triggers the second device to execute the first function based on location-based device matching, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring continuous manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The smart space semantic map is pre-established before actual device control operations, containing location information and device capabilities in advance. This preliminary structuring of spatial and functional data allows the system to quickly determine device locations and identify suitable target devices without real-time manual input, thereby improving control efficiency.
2Productivity
If automated control based on smart space semantic map is implemented, then control efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The smart space semantic map serves as an intermediary data structure that simplifies the control process. Instead of directly managing complex device-to-device interactions, the system uses the semantic map as a mediator to store and retrieve location and capability information, thereby reducing the apparent complexity of automated control operations.

AI summary
A function control method can be applied to a first device configured with a smart space semantic map and include: determining a first location of the first device in the smart space semantic map; determining, based on the first location, a second device in the smart space semantic map, the second device having the capability of executing a first function; and performing a predetermined action, to cause the second device to execute the first function.
