Methods and Apparatuses for Switching State

A method for switching a state of an air moving device by a control terminal, comprising:

• generating a state switching instruction upon detecting that a second option in the control terminal is triggered;
• sending the state switching instruction to the air moving device, a current state of the air moving device being switched from an in-operation state to an out-of-operation state based on the state switching instruction;
• receiving a state prompt message sent from the air moving device;
• prompting based on the state prompt message;
• generating a predetermined wakening instruction upon acquiring unlocking information input by a user or upon detecting that a fourth option in the control terminal of the air moving device is triggered;
• and
• sending the predetermined wakening instruction to the air moving device, the air moving device switching from the out-of-operation state to the in-operation state based on the predetermined wakening instruction.

An apparatus for switching a state of a target device with a fan, comprising:

• a module configured to acquire a state switching instruction based on a sensor of the target device, the sensor detecting a component of the air moving device being removed;
• a module configured to switch a current state of the target device from an in-operation state to an out-of-operation state based on the state switching instruction;
• a module configured to maintain the out-of-operation state until acquiring a predetermined wakening instruction;
• a module configured to acquire the predetermined wakening instruction;
• and
• a module configured to switch the target device from the out-of-operation state to the in-operation state responsive to the acquired predetermined wakening instruction.

A control terminal, comprising:

• a module configured to generate a state switching instruction upon detecting that a second option in the control terminal is triggered;
• a module configured to send the state switching instruction to a target device, a current state of the target device being switched from an in-operation state to an out-of-operation state based on the state switching instruction;
• a module configured to receive a state prompt message sent from the target device;
• a module configured to prompt based on the state prompt message;
• a module configured to generate a predetermined wakening instruction upon acquiring unlocking information input by a user or upon detecting that a fourth option in the control terminal of the target device is triggered;
• and
• a module configured to send the predetermined wakening instruction to the target device, the target device switching from the out-of-operation state to the in-operation state based on the predetermined wakening instruction.
