Abstract
A smart home network system with a method for registering new home devices includes a number of home devices, a smart gateway, and a register controller. The smart gateway assigns a register region and a region name in a mapping list stored in the smart gateway. The register controller generates and sends a registration command to the home devices in the area where the register controller is placed, in order to control the home devices to register their respective configuration information in corresponding register region in the mapping list. Therefore, the smart gateway is able to control each home device.
Claims14
A smart home network system comprising a plurality of home devices, a smart gateway and a register controller,
- the smart gateway comprising:
- a first storage module storing a mapping list;
- a first communication module configured to receive configuration information from the home devices;
- and
- a first control module configured to assign a register region and a region name in the mapping list for the home devices, and register the configuration information of the home devices in the corresponding register region in the mapping list;
- the register controller comprising:
- a second storage module storing a UID code of the smart gateway;
- a second control module and an input module, the second control module configured to generate a registration command in response to an operation on the input module, wherein the registration command contains the UID code of the smart gateway;
- and
- a second communication module configured to send the registration command to the home devices in the particular area where the register controller is placed;
- and
- each home device comprising a third communication module which is configured for sending the configuration information of the home device to the smart gateway when it receives the registration command from the register controller.
A method applied to a smart home network system, for registering a plurality of home devices with a smart gateway, the system further comprising a register controller, the method comprising:
- obtaining an UID code of the smart gateway using the register controller;
- assigning a register region and a region name in a mapping list stored in the smart gateway using the smart gateway;
- generating a registration command using the register controller when the register controller is carried to a particular area;
- sending the registration command to all of the home devices in the particular area using the register controller;
- sending their respective configuration information to the smart gateway using the home devices when the home devices receive the registration command from the register controller;
- receiving the configuration information from the home devices, and registering the configuration information in the corresponding register region in the mapping list using the smart gateway.
