Smart home control device and updating method

Abstract

The invention discloses a smart home control device and an updating method. The updating method comprises the following steps of: setting a first device class library in which the classes of smart devices are stored on a control host machine, and a second device class library in which the classes of the smart device are stored on a remote server; obtaining the unique code of a new smart device by the control host machine when the new smart device is connected into a system, searching the class of the novel smart device in the first device class library, if the class is found, loading to form a control module of the novel smart device, if the class is not found, downloading the needed device class from the second device class library on the remote server by the control host machine in a remote mode, and then loading to form the control module. The smart home control device comprises a smart home gateway and a smart home system. According to the updating method, the extension of the smart home system can be automatically finished, and is convenient and efficient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of intelligent control of household equipment, in particular to intelligent household equipment and an updating method. Background technique [0002] At present, the smart home system has developed to a higher technical level, from the remote control of a single electrical appliance to the network within the home, using a unified host control within the home; from the use of Ethernet, power carrier network to wireless sensor-based The network mode of the network; from the family internal network control to the remote control based on the Internet; with the rise of the wireless Internet, the use of smart mobile platforms such as smart phones and tablet computers is also gradually realized technically. There is a common problem in the current smart home system: all kinds of smart home systems mainly consider how to integrate the currently considered smart home devices under the control system, and only consider the limi...

Problems solved by technology

There is a common problem in the current smart home system: all kinds of smart home systems mainly consider how to integrate the currently considered smart home devices under the control system, and only consider the limited expansion of the access control of future new devices , if you need to add new equipment, you need to readjust the software and hardware, and the software involves reinstallation and debugging

When the smart home market rises on a large scale, a large number of new smart home devices will appear rapidly. If the remote server, home smart gateway and controller related to the control system are not scalable, there will be such a problem: due to device control It needs to involve four levels of software driver, state preservation and operation interface update. Each update needs to update the driver and control interface software of the four levels of equipment, home gateway, remote control server, and smart controller at the same time. It is very complicated. In the case of a large number of household promotions, if remote automatic loading and updating of drivers cannot be achieved, the update volume of adding a device to each smart home system will be very large, and it is difficult for ordinary users to complete driver loading and updating at home, requiring equipment suppliers to visit Service, the workload is very large
