Abstract

Methods, devices, and storage mediums are provided for switch control. The method may include at least the following: sending a request for controlling the controlled device to a server, where the request instructs the server to request a first control terminal to transfer control of the controlled device to the mobile terminal; receiving a notification, sent by the server, of agreeing to control the controlled device, wherein the notification is sent after the server determines that the first control terminal agrees to transfer control; and communicating with the controlled device to control the controlled device.

Claims (54)

1. A method for switching control, comprising:

sending a request for controlling a controlled device to a server, wherein the request instructs the server to request a first control terminal to transfer control of the controlled device to a second control terminal, and the controlled device is determined to be in a control region after a testing signal is sent to the controlled device and a feedback signal is received;

receiving, by the second control terminal, a notification, sent by the server, of agreeing to control the controlled device, wherein the notification is sent after the server determines that the first control terminal agrees to transfer control; and

communicating with the controlled device to control the controlled device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein communicating with the controlled device comprises:

sending, by the second control terminal, a connection request to the controlled device, so that the controlled device establishes a communication connection according to the connection request after receiving a connection instruction sent by the first control terminal.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein before sending the request for controlling the controlled device to the server, the method further comprises:

determining, by the second control terminal, the control region; and

determining whether the controlled device is in the control region.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein determining whether the control region comprises:

determining the control region using position information of the second control terminal and topographic information in a region that covers the control region.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein controlling the controlled device comprises:

acquiring position information and status information of the controlled device.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein controlling the controlled device comprises:

controlling the controlled device according to the position information and the status information.

7. A control terminal, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

send a request for controlling a controlled device to a server, wherein the request instructs the server to request a first control terminal to transfer control of the controlled device to the control terminal, and the controlled device is determined to be in a control region after a testing signal is sent to the controlled device and a feedback signal is received;

receive a notification, sent by the server, of agreeing to control the controlled device, wherein the notification is sent after the server determines that the first control terminal agrees to transfer control; and

communicate with the controlled device to control the controlled device.

8. The control terminal of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

send a connection request to the controlled device, so that the controlled device establishes a communication connection according to the connection request after receiving a connection instruction sent by the first control terminal.

9. The control terminal of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to, before sending the request for controlling the controlled device to the server,

determine the control region; and

determine whether the controlled device is in the control region.

10. The control terminal of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine the control region using position information of the control terminal and topographic information in a region that covers the control region.

11. The control terminal of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire position information and status information of the controlled device.

12. The control terminal of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the controlled device according to the position information and the status information.

13. The control terminal of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire position information and status information of the controlled device; and

control the controlled device according to the position information and the status information.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a mobile terminal, causes the mobile terminal to perform acts comprising:

sending a request for controlling a controlled device to a server, wherein the request instructs the server to request a first control terminal to transfer control of the controlled device to the mobile terminal, and the controlled device is determined to be in a control region after a testing signal is sent to the controlled device and a feedback signal is received;

receiving a notification, sent by the server, of agreeing to control the controlled device, wherein the notification is sent after the server determines that the first control terminal agrees to transfer control; and

communicating with the controlled device to control the controlled device.

15. The storage medium of claim 14 , wherein communicating with the controlled device comprises:

sending a connection request to the controlled device, so that the controlled device establishes a communication connection according to the connection request after receiving a connection instruction sent by the first control terminal.

16. The storage medium of claim 14 , wherein before sending the request for controlling the controlled device to the server, the method further comprises:

determining the control region; and

determine whether the controlled device is in the control region.

17. The storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the acts further comprise:

determining the control region using position information of the control terminal and topographic information in a region that covers the control region.

18. The storage medium of claim 14 , wherein controlling the controlled device comprises:

acquiring position information and status information of the controlled device.

19. The storage medium of claim 18 , wherein controlling the controlled device comprises:

controlling the controlled device according to the position information and the status information.

20. The storage medium of claim 16 , wherein controlling the controlled device comprises:

acquiring position information and status information of the controlled device; and

controlling the controlled device according to the position information and the status information.
