Spatial Environment Modeling for Smart Device Location Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions lack intuitive monitoring of smart devices in a scene, such as a smart home, leading to ineffective device control services due to the inability to associate smart devices with specific areas, especially when non-smart devices are also important environmental factors.
Innovation Solution
Generate an environmental model that describes the states of smart and non-smart devices by associating them with a spatial layout diagram, using radar technology to identify positions and states, and update the model dynamically to reflect real-time changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple smart devices are deployed in a scene without spatial association, then device coverage is improved, but user ability to locate and control specific devices deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a spatial dimension by generating an environmental model that maps devices to their physical locations in the scene. Instead of presenting devices as a flat list, the system creates a two-dimensional spatial representation where devices are positioned according to their actual locations, enabling users to visually locate and control specific devices based on their spatial context.
2Extent of automation
If only smart devices are monitored, then automation capability is improved, but environmental monitoring completeness deteriorates due to exclusion of non-smart devices
Solution Approach 1:
The environmental model serves multiple functions: it tracks smart devices for automation purposes while simultaneously representing non-smart devices and environmental elements. This universal representation allows the system to maintain automation capabilities while providing a complete picture of the physical environment, including furniture, walls, and other non-intelligent objects that affect the scene.
3Speed
If devices are controlled without spatial context, then control speed is improved, but control precision deteriorates due to inability to target specific areas
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables local quality control by allowing users to select and control devices based on their specific spatial locations within the environmental model. Users can target specific areas (e.g., upper left area of living room) and control the devices in those locations, providing precise local control while maintaining the speed of automated interaction through the visual interface.

AI summary
Provided by the present application are a method and apparatus for generating an environment model, a display method and apparatus, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium. The method for generating an environment model comprises : displaying a spatial layout diagram corresponding to a target scene, the spatial layout diagram being generated on the basis of the relationship between the trajectory of a first target object in the target scene and each space in the target scene; identifying each second target object deployed in the target scene, and obtaining the position of each identified second target object in the target scene; and according to the position of each second target object in the target scene and the spatial layout diagram corresponding to the target scene, generating an environment model of the target scene, the environment model being used for describing the state of at least one of the first target object and a second target object in the target scene.
