Abstract

An intelligent household controller includes a communication unit, a central controller, an alarm unit, and a button. The communication unit is configured to receive information collected by at least one sensor, and can forward control commands to the at least one sensor. The central controller is electrically connected to the communication unit for receiving and processing information received by the communication unit and can output processed information and control commands to the communication unit and to a terminal device in user possession. The alarm unit is electrically connected to the central controller and can output audible alarm. The button is electrically connected to the central controller for switching between modes of operation according to user's desire.

Claims (19)

1. An intelligent household controller configured to receive information collected by at least one sensor, comprising:

a communication unit configured to receive the information collected by at least one sensor, and further configured to send control commands to the at least one sensor;

a central controller coupled to the communication unit is configured to process the information received by the communication unit and outputting processed information to the communication unit, wherein the central controller is further configured to output the control commands to the communication unit;

an alarm unit coupled to the central controller is configured to output audible alarm signals; and

a button coupled to the central controller is configured to switch operation modes of the central controller; wherein

when the central controller detects one press on the button, the central controller is configured to operate in a night-light mode;

when the central controller detects two presses on the button, the central controller is configured to operate in a one touch configuration mode;

when the central controller detects a press on the button persisting for a first predetermined time period, the central controller operates in a WiFi protected setup mode; and

when the central controller detects a press on the button persisting for a second predetermined time period, the central controller operates in a one-touch reset mode.

2. The intelligent household controller of claim 1 , wherein the communication unit is further configured to send the processed information to an external wireless router.

3. The intelligent household controller of claim 2 , wherein the communication unit comprises:

a first communication unit coupled to the central controller is configured to receive the information collected by the at least one sensor, and sending the control commands to the at least one sensor; and

a WiFi unit coupled to the central controller and matched with the external wireless router for sending the processed information to the external wireless router.

4. The intelligent household controller of claim 1 , wherein the central controller is further configured to output different warning signals, in accordance with the processed information, and to control the alarm unit outputting the audible alarm signals with different properties.

5. The intelligent household controller of claim 4 , further comprising a color LED unit coupled to the central controller for emitting different colors in accordance with the different warning signals outputted by the central controller.

6. The intelligent household controller of claim 1 , wherein the control commands comprise information collection time command and information sending period command of the at least sensor.

7. The intelligent household controller of claim 1 , further comprising a data interface for charging an external electronic device and accessing a mobile network adapter.

8. The intelligent household controller of claim 1 , further comprising a power supply unit coupled to the central controller.

9. The intelligent household controller of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor is a combination of one or more of sensors.
