US 2016/0179068 A1 · METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING HOUSEHOLD DEVICES

Abstract

A method and system for managing household devices is provided. The method includes: locating by multiple household devices the current position coordinates of a mobile terminal; computing by the multiple household devices their respective distances to the mobile terminal using the current position coordinates of the mobile terminal to obtain multiple pieces of distance information, and transmitting the distance information to a control center; selecting by the mobile terminal the smallest distance based on the distance information, and transmitting feedback information to the household device at the smallest distance; and receiving by the household device the feedback information and thus performing operations of turning on, turning off, or regulating. The present disclosure makes possible an intelligent and humane home management mode without addition of extra chips which thus results in low cost.
