Abstract

The present invention provides a control method for a smart light, comprising:

• • displaying control information of connected smart lights as a first kind of icon and/or a second kind of icon on a main interface, the first kind of icon corresponds to a single light and the second kind of icon corresponds to a group consisting of at least two single lights;
  • when detecting at the position of the first kind of icon and the second kind of icon and identifying as selected operation, displaying a control interface corresponding to the single light or the group;
  • the control interface comprises a light-adjusting tab, the light-adjusting tab comprises a parameter adjustment column, a switch button and an effect simulation diagram;
  • when the light-adjusting tab is on active page, sending parameter configuration information to corresponding single light or group based on sliding position of detected slider in the parameter adjustment column, and
  • sending switch light configuration information to corresponding single light or group based on state change of detected switch button, and
  • displaying the effect simulation diagram based on the parameter configuration information and the switch light configuration information.

Claims

1. A lighting method for controlling smart lights, comprising:

displaying control information of the smart lights as a first kind of icon and/or a second kind of icon on a main interface, the first kind of icon corresponds to a single light and the second kind of icon corresponds to a group consisting of at least two single lights;

when detecting at the position of the first kind of icon and the second kind of icon and identifying as selected operation, displaying a control interface corresponding to the single light or the group;

the control interface comprises a light-adjusting tab, the light-adjusting tab comprises a parameter adjustment column, a switch button and an effect simulation diagram;

when the light-adjusting tab is on active page, sending parameter configuration information to corresponding single light or group based on sliding position of detected slider in the parameter adjustment column, and

sending switch light configuration information to corresponding single light or group based on state change of the detected switch button, and

displaying the effect simulation diagram based on the parameter configuration information and the switch light configuration information.

2. The lighting method of claim 1, wherein the control interface also comprises a scene tab, the scene tab comprises at least a scene icon, and each scene icon corresponds to a group of pre-set scene parameter;

when the scene tab is on active page, sending the pre-set scene parameter to the single light or group based on detection and identification as selected scene icon, and realizing one-key setting to the single light or the group.

3. The lighting method of claim 2, wherein when displaying the control interface corresponding to the group, the pre-set scene parameter comprises parameter configuration information and switch light configuration information of all single light members contained in the group.

4. The lighting method of claim 2, wherein the scene tab also comprises an add button, when detecting and identifying the add button is pressed, displaying a scene new page;

the scene new page comprises a parameter pre-set option of the single light or the group corresponding to the control interface, generating a group of new pre-set scene parameter based on the input of the parameter pre-set option of the single light or the group in the scene new page, adding a new scene icon in the scene tab, the new scene icon corresponds to the new pre-set scene parameter.

5. The lighting method of claim 1, wherein the parameter configuration information comprises brightness configuration information and/or color temperature configuration information.

6. The lighting method of according to claim 1, wherein the control interface also comprises a setting tab, the setting tab comprises an alarm clock setting and a single light name setting bar;

controlling time on/off of the single light or group based on input time of the alarm clock setting and alarm clock attribution;

displaying input information in the single light name setting bar as name of single light or single light members.

7. The lighting method of claim 1, wherein when detecting and identifying as pre-set gesture operation, displaying a quick control interface, corresponding displaying connected single light and/or group as shrunken first kind of icon and/or second kind of icon on the quick control interface, and when group is provided, displaying single light members contained in the group as the first kind of icon;

when detecting at the position of the first kind of icon and the second kind of icon and identifying as selection on the quick control interface, switching to the control interface corresponding to the single light or the group.

8. The lighting method of claim 7, wherein the pre-set gesture operation is identification information that touch point of pre-set quantities is detected and movement to pre-set direction exceeds pre-set distance.

9. The lighting method of claim 1, wherein on the main interface, if long press is detected at the position of one first kind of icon, and it is dragged to the position of another first kind of icon, it is judged that two corresponding single lights are combined into a group;

one second kind of icon is newly established to correspond to a new group, the new group comprises the two single lights.

10. The lighting method of claim 1, wherein on the main interface, if long press is detected at the position of one first kind of icon, and it is dragged to the position of another first kind of icon, it is judged that the single light corresponding to the first kind of icon is added into the group corresponding to the second kind of icon.

11. The lighting method of claim 1, wherein on the main interface, if long press is detected at the position of the second kind of icon, it is judged as group members deletion and group name editing, and displaying a group editing page, the group editing page comprises a group name editing column and single light members displayed as the first kind of icon, displaying a delete icon on the right corner of the first kind of icon corresponding to each single light member, when clicking the delete icon is detected, the corresponding single light member is deleted from the group;

and saving the information of the group name editing column as name of the group.

12. The lighting method of claim 1, wherein the main interface also comprises a share button, when detecting and judging the share button is clicked on the main interface, displaying a share page, the share page comprises a share light button and an acquiring light button;

when detecting and judging the share light button is clicked on the share page, real-time uploading the control information of all of parts of selected smart lights into a server;

when detecting and judging the acquiring light button is clicked on the share page, acquiring shared network name information, and synchronously acquiring shared control information of smart lights from the server based on the network name information.

13. The lighting method of claim 7, wherein a hover button is preset,

if click operation is detected on the hover button, sending full open or full closed switch light configuration information to all single lights and groups;

if double click operation is detected on the hover button, displaying the quick control interface;

if long press operation is detected on the hover button, locking or unlocking the position of the hover button;

under the locking state of the position of the hover button, if sliding operation to a first pre-set direction is detected on the hover button, correspondingly adjusting the color temperature of the connected single light or group;

if sliding operation to a second pre-set direction is detected on the hover button, correspondingly adjusting the brightness of the connected single light or group;
