DESC:Field of the Invention
[0001] The present disclosure relates to controlling of operation of devices in an environment.
Background
[0002] Operation of devices, for example, a television, an Air Conditioner, a refrigerator, and the like, is supported by electrical power. Such devices are connected to a supply mains and supply of electricity to such devices is controlled using an electrical switch. Typically, the operation of such devices is controlled manually by a user. For example, in order to switch ON or switch OFF a device, a user typically has to navigate all the way to the location of the corresponding electrical switch and then switch it ON or OFF. This is a cumbersome process.
[0003] As an alternative, in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment, operation of most or all of the aforementioned devices may be controlled using a mobile device, such as a smartphone. However, implementation of such an environment is expensive. Also, in some cases, the interface and mechanism for affecting operation of devices may be cumbersome. That is, every time a user has to control certain devices, he may have to operate his smartphone every single time, which may be a pain point for a user.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for solution to address at least one of the aforementioned deficiencies.

[0030] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] Fig. 1 illustrates an environment 100 for controlling operation of devices, according to an embodiment of the present subject matter. In an example, the environment 100 may include a central node 102, a plurality of electrical operators 104-1 to 104-N, and a plurality of devices 106-1 to 106-N. The plurality of electrical operators 104-1 to 104-N, hereinafter, may collectively be referred to as the electrical operators 104 and individually be referred to as the electrical operator 104. The plurality of devices 106-1 to 106-N, hereinafter, may collectively be referred to as the devices 106 and individually be referred to as the device 106.
[0032] Examples of the central node 102 may include, but are not limited to, a gateway, a router including a gateway, and a modem including a gateway. Examples of the electrical operator 104 may include, but are not limited to, a smart plug capable of wireless communication and a smart switch capable of wireless communication. Examples of the devices 106 may include, but are not limited to, a television, a refrigerator, an Air conditioner, a light bulb, a tube light, a lamp, an exhaust fan, an air purifier, a microwave, a fan, and the like.
[0033] In an example embodiment, one or more IoT profiles associated with the devices 106 may be stored in a storage 108 that may be communicatively coupled to the central node 102. The storage 108, in an example embodiment, may be provided within the central node 102 itself. An IoT profile may include one or more of the devices 106 and corresponding operation state, i.e. ON state or OFF state, of these one or more devices 106. In an example, a user may configure the IoT profiles using an application provided on a computing device 110 of the user. Examples of the computing device 110 may include, but are not limited to, a smartphone, a tablet, a smartwatch, a laptop, and the like.
[0034] In an example, to configure an IoT profile, the user may login into the application and create the IoT profile. Thereafter, the user may add one or more of the devices 106 into the IoT profile and define corresponding operation state, also referred to as the user-defined operation state, for the one or more devices 106. The user may also perform other operations, such as addition or deletion of devices 106 from the one or more IoT profiles, using the application.
[0035] According to an embodiment of the present subject matter, when creating the IoT profile, the user may also define a user input that may be linked to the IoT profile. Examples of the user input may include, but are not limited to, a predefined number of touch inputs, a touch input for predetermined time duration, and a mix of the aforementioned two types of user inputs. In an example embodiment, the user input serves as a trigger for implementation of the IoT profile. As mentioned above, the IoT profiles are stored in the storage 108. In an example, the storage 108 may be an external storage, for example, a cloud storage or a central storage, communicatively coupled to the central node 102 and the computing devices 110. In other embodiments, the storage 108 may be a storage of the central node 102. In another example embodiment, the storage 108 may be a storage of the computing device 110.
[0036] According to an embodiment of the present subject matter, a user seeking to implement a desired IoT profile may provide a user input corresponding to the IoT profile on any one of the electrical operators 104. As would be appreciated, the electrical operators 104, in an example, may include one or more of touch sensors, touch-sensitive sensors, and related circuitry to detect a number of touch inputs, duration of touches.
[0037] In response to receiving the user input, the electrical operator 104 may be configured to transmit the received user input to the central node 102. For example, the electrical operator 104 may transmit a wireless message to the central node 102, wherein the wireless message includes details of the user input. As an example, the wireless message may include details such as a number and/or a duration of touch input, provided by the user.
[0038] On receiving the user input, the central node 102 may access the storage 108 and may identify an IoT profile from the one or more IoT profiles based on the received user input. In an example where the storage 108 is provided within the central node 102, the storage 108 may be accessed directly. In another example embodiment where the storage 108 is provided in a remote device present at a remote location, for example, a cloud storage server, or within the computing device 110, the central node 102 may accordingly communicate with the relevant device for accessing the storage 108.
[0039] For identifying the IoT profile, the central node 102 may learn about or identify the number of touch inputs and/or duration of the touch inputs from the wireless message received from the electrical operator 104. After identifying the user input, i.e., the number of touches and/or duration of the touches, the central node 102 may analyze the IoT profiles stored in the storage 108 to identify the IoT profile corresponding to the user input.
[0040] Once the IoT profile is identified, the central node 102 may transmit an operation message to one or more electrical operators 104 corresponding to the one or more devices 106 enlisted in the IoT profile. In an example, the details of the electrical operators 104 that are connected to the one or more devices 106 may be obtained by the central node 102 from an internal storage. The internal storage in an example, may be same as the storage 108. The internal storage, in an example, includes a database of a plurality of devices 106 and corresponding electrical operators 104 that are coupled with the plurality of devices 106. Thus, the one or more electrical operators 106 to which the operation message is to be transmitted may be identified by the central node 102.
[0041] In an example, the database mentioned herein may be created by the central node 102. For example, as and when the user installs an electrical operator 104, the user may use the computing device 110 to register the electrical operator 104 with the central node. Furthermore, details of the device 106 that is coupled to the electrical operator 104 may also be provided by the user using the computing device 110. For example, after registering the electrical operator 104, a list of devices 106 that are available in the environment may be presented to the user. The user may accordingly select a device 106 from the list for associating with the installed electrical operator 104. The central node 102 stores this mapping between the device 106 and the electrical operator 104 in the database.
[0042] In an example, the operation message may be based on the user-defined operation state included in the IoT profile and accordingly, may include instructions to initiate/terminate supply of electricity to the corresponding device.
[0043] On receiving an operation message from the central node, an electrical operator 104 may either switch ON or switch OFF based on the instructions provided in the operation message. Accordingly, the device 106 associated with the electrical operator may be either turned ON or turned OFF respectively.
[0044] Thus, by simply providing a user input on any one of the electrical operators 104, the user may implement a desired IoT profile in the environment 100. Accordingly, the set of devices from the devices 106 that are enlisted in the IoT profile may be operated as per the user-defined operation state as specified in the IoT profile. As may be understood, aspects of the present subject matter as described herein provides a convenient way for the user to apply IoT profiles. For instance, the user need not access and operate his smartphone every time to implement the profile. The user can simply choose to tap on an electrical operator for directly applying the desired IoT profile. This, as may be learnt shortens the time involved as access and operation of the computing device 110 is not required from the user’s end.
[0045] Although the term IoT profiles has been used herein, as would be appreciated, other terms, for example, Scenes, groups, etc. may also be used.
[0046] Fig. 2 illustrates a plurality of example IoT profiles 200-1 to IoT profiles 200-N, according to an embodiment of the present subject matter. As may be seen, the IoT profile 200-1 corresponds to an IoT profile 1, the IoT profile 200-2 corresponds to an IoT profile 2, and so on and so forth. For the sake of brevity, the contents of each of the IoT profile are described below in reference to IoT profile 1.
[0047] Referring to IoT profile 1, a plurality of devices, such as device 1, device 2, device 5, and device 4, are included therein. The IoT profile 1 further includes a user-defined operation state corresponding to the aforementioned devices. For instance, a user-defined operation state of device 1 is OFF, a user-defined operation state of device 2 is ON, a user-defined operation state of device 5 is OFF, and a user-defined operation state of device 4 is OFF. The IoT profile 1 further includes a user input corresponding to the IoT profile 1. Herein, the user input is two touch inputs. This user input acts as a trigger for initiating the IoT profile 1.
[0048] As described herein, the IoT profile may be created by the user using an application that is provided on the computing device 110. The user may access the application and subsequently, create an IoT profile. Thereafter, the user may be displayed with a list of available devices. The user may accordingly add the devices to the created IoT profile, as per the user’s choice. Following the addition of the device, the user may be presented with an option to define a state, i.e., On or OFF, for each of the devices included in the IoT profile. Furthermore, the user may also be requested to define a user input, i.e., no. of touch inputs and/or duration of touch input. This user input may be linked or mapped with the created IoT profile.
[0049] Fig. 3 illustrates a flow diagram for controlling operation of devices, according to an embodiment of the present subject matter. As shown in the figure, the electrical operation 104-1 may receive and transmit a user input to the central node 102. The central node 102 in an example transmits a query based on the user input to the storage 108 and receives the IoT profile that is to be implemented. In an example, based on the user-defined operation states for the devices enlisted in the IoT profile, the central node 102 may transmit an operation message to an electrical operator associated with each of the devices. Taking reference of Fig. 2, suppose the IoT profile identified based on the user input is the IoT profile 1. Accordingly, an operation message may be transmitted to an electrical operator 1, an electrical operator 2, an electrical operator 5, and an electrical operator 4 may be transmitted. Accordingly, the operation of corresponding devices 1, 2, 5, and 4 may be controlled based on the operation messages received by the respective electrical operator.
[0050] Fig. 4 illustrates a schematic block diagram of the central node 102 and the electrical operator 104, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As is shown, both, the central node 102 and the electrical operator 104 may include a processor 402, a wireless communication unit 404, and data 406. Furthermore, the electrical operator 104 includes electrical circuitry 408 and touch sensor(s) 410, as well. In an example, the aforementioned components of the central node 102 and the electrical operator 104 may be configured to perform the associated operations and functions as described above in Figs 1-3 above and Fig. 5 below.
[0051] Examples of the processor 402 may include a microprocessor, a microcontroller, a digital signal processor (DSP), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a programmable logic device (PLD), a state machine, gate control logic, Individual hardware circuits, and other suitable hardware configured to perform the various functions described throughout the description herein. Examples of the wireless communication unit 404 may include, a Wi-Fi module, a Bluetooth module, a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module, etc. In an example, the wireless communication unit 404 may be configured to receive and send wireless communication messages that may include control signals, operational signals, data, etc.
[0052] The data 406 may be configured to store data generated, received, transmitted by the processor 402. For example, the data 406-1 may include the database that has the mapping of the devices 106 and the electrical operators 104. In another example, the data 406-1 may also include the IoT profiles.
[0053] The electrical circuitry 408 may be configured to supply electrical power from mains to the device 106 that is coupled to the at least one electrical operator 104. In an example, the processor 402 may be configured to control the operation of the one or more electrical circuitry, for example, using a relay, to control the switch ON/OFF of the device 106.
[0054] Examples of the touch sensor(s) 410 may include include a capacitive touch sensor, a resistance touch sensor, a pressure touch sensor, an optical touch sensor, and an ultrasonic touch sensor, etc. The touch sensor(s) 410 may be configured to detect the user input provided by the user.
[0055] Fig. 5 illustrates a flowchart of a method 500 operating devices in an environment, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In an example, the environment includes a plurality of devices. The environment may further include a plurality of electrical operators coupled to the plurality of devices and an electrical power supply. Furthermore, the environment may include a storage comprising a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) profiles. Each IoT profile comprises a set of devices from the plurality of devices, a user-defined operation state corresponding to each device in the set of devices, and a user input corresponding to the IoT profile. Furthermore, the environment may include a central node coupled to the plurality of the electrical operators and the storage.
[0056] In an example, the method 500 may be implemented by one or more of the central node 102, the computing device 110, and the electrical operators 104, as described herein. In an example, the central node 102 may be wirelessly coupled to the electrical operators 104.
[0057] At step 502, the method 500 includes receiving, by the central node 102, a user input from a first electrical operator 104-1 from the plurality of electrical operators 104. In an example, the user input may be a touch input. For example, the user may provide a number of touches, say, 2, 3, or 4 touches. In another example, the user may provide a long touch input, for example, say for more than x number of seconds. In an example, the user input may be a combination of both. This user input is received by the electrical operator 104 and is subsequently transmitted to the central node, for example, using a wireless message. Accordingly, the central node 102 receives the user input from the electrical operator 104.
[0058] At step 504, identifying, by the central node 102, an IoT profile from the plurality of IoT profiles based on the received user input. In an example, the central node 102 may access the storage 108 for identifying the IoT profile. After accessing, the central node 102 may identify the IoT profile based on the user input.
[0059] In an example, the IoT profile may be created by the user using a computing device, such as the computing device 110. In an example, creation of the IoT profile includes receiving an input for creating an IoT profile. The method further includes receiving a user selection of a set of devices from the plurality of devices. Furthermore, the method includes including the set of devices in the IoT profile. Furthermore, the method includes receiving a user-defined operation state for each of the set of devices. The method further includes receiving a user input corresponding to the IoT profile. Furthermore, the method includes creating the IoT profile comprising the set of IoT devices, the user-defined operation state for each of the set of devices, and the user input corresponding to the IoT profile.
[0060] At step 506, the method 500 includes ascertaining, by the central node 102, the set of devices 106 corresponding to the identified IoT profile. The IoT profile includes the set of devices. Accordingly, the central node 102 may ascertain the set of devices 106 from the IoT profile.
[0061] At step 508, the method 500 includes transmitting, by the central node, an operation message to a set of electrical operators corresponding to the set of devices to control switching ON/OFF of the set of devices. The operation message comprises instructions to switch ON/OFF the supply of electricity to the set of devices. In an example, the central node 102 may identify the IoT profile using the dataset, as described above.
[0062] In an example, the method 500 further includes receiving the operation message from the central node. Accordingly, the method 500 includes initiating/terminating supply of electricity to the corresponding device based on the instructions included in the operation message. In an example, the electrical operator 104 may perform the receiving of the operation message from the central node 102. Accordingly, the electrical operator 104 may control the supply of electricity, i.e., initiate or terminate the supply of electricity to the coupled device 106.
[0063] While specific language has been used to describe the present subject matter, any limitations arising on account thereto, are not intended.
