sending an appliance control instruction to the appliance automatically or in response to receiving a user input on the mobile terminal, the appliance control instruction controlling the appliance to adjust the operation state;
wherein when the notification message further includes geographical location information of a house of the user of the mobile terminal, and types of one or more appliances in the house,the determining that the quality data of the target object does not reach the threshold comprises;
acquiring quality data of the target object from a plurality of appliances based on the geographical location information of the house and the types of the one or more appliances in the house, wherein the plurality of appliances are of identical type and located in a plurality of houses in a specified region;
obtaining regional quality data of the specified region according to the acquired quality data of the target object; and
determining that the regional quality data does not reach the threshold; and
the sending of the appliance control prompt to the mobile terminal according to the address information comprises;
based on a determination that the house of the user is in the specified region and no appliance bound to the mobile terminal processes the target object, sending the appliance control prompt to the mobile terminal when it is determined that the regional quality data does not reach the threshold, wherein the appliance control prompt is configured to cause the mobile terminal to prompt the user to add an appliance for processing the target object.
