Abstract

An intelligent terminal remote controller-based internet-of-things control system and control method are disclosed. The control system includes at least two household electrical appliance hosts (1) and an intelligent terminal (2), remote controller software is included in the intelligent terminal (2) and communicated with a model database (9) of the intelligent terminal (2), the model database (9) is configured to store model number information and information of all functions of various household electrical appliance hosts to be controlled, the household electrical appliance host (1) includes an MCU control chip (7) storing model number information of a current household electrical appliance host, and a control system unit (5). The present invention allows invoking a back-end database through software and making recognition and judgment among control subjects, so as to solve the problem that the remote-control functions are different for different electrical appliances of different models.

First claim

1 . An intelligent terminal remote controller-based internet-of-things control system, comprising at least two household electrical appliance hosts ( 1 ) and an intelligent terminal ( 2 ), remote controller software is included in the intelligent terminal ( 2 ) and communicated with a model database ( 9 ) of the intelligent terminal ( 2 ), the model database ( 9 ) is configured to store model number information and information of all functions of various household electrical appliance hosts to be controlled, the household electrical appliance host ( 1 ) comprises an MCU control chip ( 7 ) storing model number information of a current household electrical appliance host, and a control system unit ( 5 ).

2 . The intelligent terminal remote controller-based internet-of-things control system according to claim 1 , wherein the control system unit ( 5 ) is provided with a model code information system ( 8 ) storing model code information of the current household electrical appliance host, the model database ( 9 ) has the model code information stored therein.

3 . The intelligent terminal remote controller-based internet-of-things control system according to claim 2 , wherein the model code information comprises model information and function information of the current household electrical appliance host.

4 . The intelligent terminal remote controller-based internet-of-things control system according to claim 1 , wherein the intelligent terminal ( 2 ) and the household electrical appliance host ( 1 ) are communicated through signals, the signal is an IR signal, a RF signal or a WIFI signal.

5 . A control method for the intelligent terminal remote controller-based internet-of-things control system according to claim 1 , comprising steps:
remotely transmitting a control command to the household electrical appliance host ( 1 ) by the intelligent terminal ( 2 ), and transmitting model number information which is default or is set last time, receiving and judging the model number information by the household electrical appliance host ( 1 ).

6 . The control method according to claim 5 , wherein, when received model number information is consistent with model number information stored in the MCU control chip ( 7 ), the household electrical appliance host ( 1 ) will not return model number information, a remote-control user interface of the remote controller software is maintained as a current interface for the current household electrical appliance host, the current interface allows a user to perform function operations thereon.

7 . The control method according to claim 5 , wherein, when the received model number information is not consistent with model number information stored in the MCU control chip ( 7 ), the household electrical appliance host ( 1 ) transmits and returns correct model number information, the remote-control user interface of the remote controller software is adjusted to a remote-control user interface corresponding to the model number information returned.

8 . A control method for the intelligent terminal remote controller-based internet-of-things control system according to claim 2 , comprising the step of:
remotely transmitting model code information by the intelligent terminal ( 2 ), acquiring and judging the transmitted model code information by the household electrical appliance host ( 1 ).

9 . The control method according to claim 8 , wherein, when currently acquired model code information is consistent with model code information stored in the model code information system ( 8 ), the remote controller software maintains a current remote-control user interface and a function key, and will not return model code information.

10 . The control method according to claim 9 , wherein, when the currently acquired model code information is not consistent with the model code information stored in the model code information system ( 8 ), the household electrical appliance host ( 1 ) returns correct model code information, the remote controller software invokes a user interface for a model of household electrical appliance host ( 1 ) according to the correct model code information returned, operations are performed according to a function key on the invoked user interface of the model of household electrical appliance host ( 1 ).

11 . The intelligent terminal remote controller-based internet-of-things control system according to claim 2 , wherein the intelligent terminal ( 2 ) and the household electrical appliance host ( 1 ) are communicated through signals, the signal is an IR signal, a RF signal or a WIFI signal.

12 . The intelligent terminal remote controller-based internet-of-things control system according to claim 3 , wherein the intelligent terminal ( 2 ) and the household electrical appliance host ( 1 ) are communicated through signals, the signal is an IR signal, a RF signal or a WIFI signal.
