METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE APPOINTMENT OF FUNCTIONS OF SMART HOME APPLIANCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031190 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE APPOINTMENT OF FUNCTIONS OF SMART HOME APPLIANCES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for controlling the appointment of functions of smart home appliances. The method involves the user setting the appointment through a control interface on a mobile terminal. Once the appointment setting is completed, the mobile terminal sends the appointment control instruction to the controlled smart home appliance. The mobile terminal will only send the appointment control instruction again when the user updates the appointment setting.

The controlled smart home appliance receives the appointment control instruction and uses the function activation counter and function duration counter of the microcontroller to count down. It also utilizes the cyclic shift of the work flag bits to indicate whether the function is activated or not, enabling cycle control of the function. The microcontroller does not require a clock module, reducing cost and eliminating the need for clock calibration, thus improving the accuracy of the appointment control.

Bullet points explaining the patent/innovation:

  • Method for controlling the appointment of functions of smart home appliances
  • User sets the appointment through a mobile terminal control interface
  • Mobile terminal sends appointment control instruction to the controlled smart home appliance
  • Appointment control instruction is sent again when the user updates the appointment setting
  • Controlled smart home appliance uses function activation counter and function duration counter to count down
  • Work flag bits indicate whether the function is activated or not, enabling cycle control
  • Microcontroller does not require a clock module, reducing cost and eliminating clock calibration

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Smart home automation systems
  • Energy management systems

  • Home entertainment systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the control of functions in smart home appliances
  • Eliminates the need for clock calibration, improving accuracy
  • Reduces cost by eliminating the need for a clock module

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved convenience for users in controlling smart home appliances
  • Enhanced energy efficiency through precise appointment control
  • Cost savings in the manufacturing of smart home appliances
  • Increased reliability and accuracy in function activation and control.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method for controlling the appointment of functions of smart home appliances that only when the user control interface completes the appointment setting, the mobile terminal sends the appointment control instruction to the controlled smart home appliance is provided. the mobile terminal does not send the appointment control instruction to the controlled smart home appliance until the next time the user updates the appointment setting, the mobile terminal sends the appointment control instruction to the controlled smart home appliance again to update the appointment control of controlled smart home appliances, the controlled smart home appliance receives the appointment control instruction sent by the mobile terminal, uses the function activation counter and the function duration counter of the microcontroller to count down respectively, and cooperates with the cyclic shift of the n work flag bits used to indicate whether the function is activated or not to realize the cycle control of the function, the microcontroller does not need to be configured with a clock module, which not only reduces the cost, but also does not need to calibrate the clock regularly, which improves the accuracy of the appointment control.
