• determining a control authority of the target smart device for the user equipment according to request parameters in the authorization request;
• and
• allocating the control authority of the target smart device to the user equipment, so that the user equipment controls the target smart device within the control authority,
• wherein obtaining the authorization request for the target smart device from the user equipment comprising:
• obtaining authorization requests for the target smart device from multiple user equipments;
• and
• wherein determining the control authority of the target smart device for the user equipment according to the request parameters in the authorization request comprising:
• determining information on priorities of the multiple user equipments according to the request parameters in the authorization requests for the target smart device from the multiple user equipments;
• and
• determining a user equipment with a highest priority as the currently-controlling device for the target smart device, and determining a control authority of the target smart device for the currently-controlling device.
