The following will describe in detail a sound box control method performed by a terminal and a control method applied to a sound box according to an embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to FIGS. 2A to 8 .

FIG. 2A schematically shows a flowchart of a method for controlling a speaker box executed by a terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 2B schematically shows a schematic diagram of a display interface of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 2A , the speaker control method 200 executed by the terminal in this embodiment may include, for example, operations S210 to S270.

In operation S210, first operation information is generated in response to the first target operation of the first user.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first target operation may be, for example, an operation performed by a user on a client application installed on the terminal for controlling the speaker 130 . The purpose of the user performing the first target operation is to change the operating mode of the speaker through the terminal. To facilitate changing the operating mode of the speaker, the client application may, for example, be provided with a switch control for turning on/off the operating mode.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 2B , the client application installed on the terminal may, for example, display the display interface 210 . The display interface 210 may display a list of at least one mode of the speaker. The at least one mode may be customized in response to user operations, or may be preset by the client application developer. The multiple modes may include, for example, at least one of the following: an away-from-home mode, a Party mode, a sleep mode, and the like. For each mode, there is a switch control to turn each mode on or off. For example, for the away-from-home mode, there is a first switch control 211 , for the Party mode, there is a second switch control 212 , and for the sleep mode, there is a third switch control 213 . The first target operation may be, for example, a click operation on switch controls for various modes. It can be understood that when the at least one mode is turned off, the sound box 130 can be in a normal working state, and after one of the at least one mode is turned on, the sound box can be in a working state corresponding to the one mode.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the first target operation of the first user, the terminal may generate first operation information for instructing the sound box to change the operation mode. Specifically, the first operation information may be an operation instruction to turn off or turn on any one of the operation modes of the sound box in at least one operation mode.

In operation S230, account information of the first user is acquired.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the operation S230 may be calling a script predefined during application development of the client to acquire account information currently logged in by the client. The account information may include, for example, a username and password for uniquely identifying the user. It can be understood that this operation S230 may be implemented by any method in the related art, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to further ensure the security of the password, the account information of the first user obtained by the embodiment of the present disclosure may also be, for example, the user name and password of the first user when the server authenticates the first user. The issued token information, the token information is for the first user.

Exemplarily, when the first user logs in to the personal account through the terminal and requests information from the server, the terminal will send the account and password of the first user to the server, and the server can use algorithms and algorithms for the account and password. The key is signed, and the signature is returned to the terminal as token information (Token). After receiving the token information, the terminal stores the token information in the cookie or in the local storage. In operation S230, when acquiring the account information of the first user, the token information for the first user issued by the server may be acquired from a cookie or a local storage.

In operation S250, a first control instruction for the speaker is generated according to the first operation information and the account information.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the operation S250 may be to encapsulate the account information and the first operation information into a data packet, so as to generate a first control instruction for the speaker.

Exemplarily, in order to avoid the loss of account information caused by malicious interception of the data packet by hackers, the operation S250 may also, when generating the first control instruction, first encrypt the account information, and then encrypt the encrypted account information and the first operation information. It is encapsulated into a data packet to obtain a first control instruction.

Exemplarily, in order to further improve the security of the information in the data packet, in this embodiment, the account information and the first operation information may be encapsulated into a data packet, and then the data packet is encrypted to generate the first control instruction. Alternatively, the account information and the first operation information may be encrypted first, and then encapsulated into a data packet after encryption to obtain the first control instruction. It can be understood that, when the account information is token information, operation S250 may be implemented as: encrypting the token information and the first operation information, and generating the first control instruction.

In operation S270, a first control instruction is sent to the server, so that the server determines the speaker targeted by the first operation information according to the account information in the first control instruction.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the server may store, for example, an association table between account information and speaker IDs. After sending the first control instruction to the server, the server can parse the first control instruction to obtain the account information therein, and search the association table according to the account information to obtain the speaker ID corresponding to the account information.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, after obtaining the speaker ID, the server can send the first operation information in the first control instruction to the speaker corresponding to the speaker ID. After the sound box receives the first operation information, the operation mode of the sound box can be changed according to the first operation information.

FIG. 3 schematically shows a flowchart of a control method applied to a sound box according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 4 schematically shows an interaction diagram of a terminal controlling a sound box to change the operation mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the control method 300 applied to a sound box may include, for example, operations S310 to S330 .

In operation S310, first operation information sent by the server is received, where the first operation information is generated in response to a first target operation of the terminal by the first user. Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 2A , the first operation information may be first generated by the terminal through operation S210 , and then sent to the server through operations S230 to S270 , and then sent by the server to the speaker.

In operation S330, the operation mode of the speaker is changed according to the first operation information.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first operation information includes an operation instruction to turn off or turn on any one of the operation modes of the sound box in at least one operation mode. Therefore, the operation S330 may be to turn off or turn on any one of the operating modes of the sound box in response to an operation instruction for turning off or on any one of the operating modes of the sound box, so as to change the operating mode of the sound box.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4 , after receiving the first target operation, the terminal may first perform operation S411 in response to the first target operation to generate the first operation information. This operation S411 is similar to the aforementioned operation S210, and details are not repeated here. Then, operation S413 is performed to obtain a Token, which is the token information for the first user issued by the aforementioned server. After acquiring the Token, the terminal can form an encrypted data packet sent to the server according to the Token and the first operation information, and send the encrypted data packet to the server.

After receiving the encrypted data packet, the server can first obtain the Token and the first operation information in the data packet through a decryption operation. Then, operation S421 is performed to verify the Token to verify whether the Token is a Token issued to the first user with the speaker control authority. If so, the verification is successful, and operation S423 is executed, the first operation information is encrypted, and the encrypted first operation information is sent to the speaker, so as to send the first operation information generated by the terminal to the terminal, so as to realize the communication between the terminal and the speaker. interact. If the Token is not the Token issued to the first user with the speaker control authority, the decrypted data packet can be discarded.

After the speaker receives the first operation information, operation S431 may be performed, and the operation mode is changed in response to the first operation information. This operation S431 is similar to the foregoing operation S330, and details are not repeated here.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first operation information may be, for example, encrypted first operation information sent by the server. In order to facilitate the changing of the operation mode of the speaker, the aforementioned operations S330 and/or S431 may, for example, decrypt the encrypted first operation information, and then perform the operation of changing the operation mode of the speaker after decryption.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the operation mode of the sound box may include, for example, a first operation mode and a second operation mode. The sound box may have, for example, a voice collection module, a video playback module, an audio playback module and/or a camera monitoring module. When the sound box is in the first operating mode, at least one functional module included in the sound box is in the first operating state. When the sound box is in the second operating mode, at least one functional module is in a second operating state different from the first operating state.

Exemplarily, in the first operating mode, the first user is in the predetermined area; in the second operating mode, the first user is not in the predetermined area. For example, the second operating mode is the mode in which the speaker is located after the aforementioned home-away mode is turned on, and the first operating mode is the mode in which the speaker is located after the aforementioned home-away mode is turned off. The predetermined area may be, for example, an area where the sound box can collect speech, or the predetermined area is a user's living area. In the first operating mode, for example, the voice acquisition module in the speaker can be in a working state, the display screen in the video playback module is in an open state, the audio playback module is in an audio playback state, and the camera monitoring module is in a closed state. In the second operating mode, the state of each functional module may be opposite to that in the first operating mode, for example, the camera monitoring module is in an on state.

Exemplarily, the first operating mode may be, for example, the mode in which the sound box is located when the aforementioned Party mode is in an off state, and the second operating mode may be, for example, the mode in which the sound box is located when the aforementioned Party mode is in an on state. In the first operation mode, the volume of the speaker may be, for example, the first volume, and in the second operation mode, the volume of the speaker may be, for example, the second volume, and the first volume is lower than the second volume.

Exemplarily, the first operating mode may be, for example, the mode in which the sound box is located when the aforementioned sleep mode is in an off state, and the second operating mode may be, for example, the mode in which the sound box is located when the aforementioned sleep mode is in an on state. In the first operation mode, the volume of the speaker may be, for example, the third volume, and in the second operation mode, the volume of the speaker may be, for example, the fourth volume, and the third volume is greater than the fourth volume.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 4 , after the sound box changes the operation mode in response to the first operation information, for example, the change result may be fed back to the terminal. The result of this change is used to indicate whether the speaker has completed the change of operating mode. Specifically, the speaker can send the modification result to the server, so that the modification result can be fed back to the terminal via the server. After the change result indicates that the sound box completes the change of the operation mode, the terminal may perform operation S415 to change the state of the control, so as to change the state of the switch control targeted by the first target operation. For example, if the first target operation is a click operation on the first switch control 211, the first switch control 211 can be changed from the closed state shown in FIG. 2B to the open state shown in the subsequent FIG. 5B via operation S415.

According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to further improve user experience and meet different needs of different users, for example, when the speaker is in any one of the foregoing at least one operation mode, the operation state of each functional module can be remotely adjusted.

Fig. 5A schematically shows a flowchart of a method for controlling a speaker box executed by a terminal according to another embodiment of the present disclosure; Fig. 5B schematically shows a schematic diagram of a display interface of a terminal according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

In order to realize remote adjustment of the running state, as shown in FIG. 5A , the speaker control method 500 executed by the terminal in this embodiment may further include, for example, operations S510 to S530 in addition to operations S210 to S270 .

In operation S510, second operation information is generated in response to the second target operation of the first user.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second target operation is similar to the aforementioned first target operation, except that the purpose of the first user performing the second target operation is to adjust the running state of the functional modules included in the speaker through the terminal.

In order to facilitate the adjustment of the running state of the functional module, for example, the terminal may also display an adjustment window for the functional module, and an adjustment control is set in the adjustment window, and the adjustment of the running state of the functional module is realized by operating the adjustment control. . Therefore, the second target operation in operation S510 may be an operation on the adjustment control in the adjustment window.

Exemplarily, the adjustment control may include, for example, at least one of the following: a running period adjustment control, a single running duration adjustment control, a total running duration adjustment control within a predetermined period, and the like.

After responding to the second target operation, in order to provide a basis for the operating state of the speaker adjustment function module, operation S510 may generate second operation information according to the second target operation. Specifically, the second operation information may be generated according to the state change of the adjustment control after the first user operates the adjustment control, and the second operation information is used to indicate the operation information of the sound box adjustment function module, so that the sound box can adjust the operation information to control the running state of the function module. The second operation information should include adjustment instructions and operation information.

Exemplarily, when the adjustment control is the operation period adjustment control, the operation information in the generated second operation information may include, for example, the operation period of the function module. When the adjustment control is an adjustment control with a single running duration, the running information may include the single running duration of the function module. When the adjustment control is the adjustment control for the total running duration within the predetermined period, the running information may include the total running duration within the predetermined period.

In one embodiment, after the client application installed on the terminal responds to the first target operation and changes the operating mode of the speaker, for example, the switch control targeted by the first target operation may be in an on state. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5B , the display interface of the terminal may be switched from the display interface 210 to the display interface 510 .

Exemplarily, in order to avoid wasting power resources caused by the display screen of the speaker being turned on when there is no one at home, or to avoid children watching videos on the display screen when only children are at home, the display screen can also be controlled to be turned off in the away-from-home mode. state. In the display interface 510, for example, an adjustment window 511 may be included for displaying adjustment controls for controlling the display screen in the video playback module. The adjustment control may include, for example, a switch control 5111 for the display screen to control whether the display screen is on or off. Adjustment controls 5112 for adjusting the off period of the display screen may also be included.

Exemplarily, in order to play an anti-theft effect when there is no one at home, in the away-from-home mode, the camera of the speaker can also be controlled to perform image acquisition, so as to monitor the user's living area. In the display interface 510, for example, an adjustment window 512 may be included for displaying adjustment controls for controlling the cameras in the camera monitoring module. For example, the adjustment control may include a switch control for the camera, so as to control the camera to be in an on state or an off state. Adjustment controls for adjusting the on-time period of the camera may also be included.

Exemplarily, in order to act as an anti-theft when there is no one at home, the speaker can also be controlled to play white noise in the away-from-home mode, so as to create the illusion of someone at home to passers-by. Therefore, in the display interface 510, for example, an adjustment window 513 may be included for displaying adjustment controls for controlling whether the audio playback module plays white noise. The adjustment control may include, for example, a switch control for white noise, so as to control the audio playback module to play white noise or stop playing white noise. Adjustment controls for adjusting the playback period of the white noise may also be included. In order to further meet different needs of different users, the adjustment window 513 may, for example, be provided with a selection control for selecting a type of white noise, and the type of white noise may include, for example, a crowd chat mode, a children's noisy mode, and the like. Correspondingly, the operation information in the generated second operation information may further include, for example, the type of audio being played. The audio type may include the aforementioned white noise type.

In operation S530, the second control instruction generated according to the second operation information is sent to the server.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in operation S530, for example, a method similar to that described in operations S230 and S250 may be used first to generate a second control instruction according to the second operation information. Then, the generated second control instruction is sent to the server.

After sending the second control instruction to the server, the server may send the second operation information to the speaker in a manner similar to operations S421 to S423 described in FIG. 4 . After receiving the second operation information, the sound box can adjust the operation information of the function modules included in the sound box in response to the second operation information.
