Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a device control method and system for identifying a target image and controlling an Internet of Things (IOT) device. The device control system can include: an information acquisition unit and a control unit communicating with the information acquisition unit. The information acquisition unit is configured to collect information of a user in a current environment and send the collected information of the user in the current environment to the control unit. The control unit is configured to analyze intent information of the user to use the device based on the collected information of the user in the current environment and control a corresponding device to perform a corresponding action based on the intent information of the user.

Claims (14)

1. A device control method, applied to a device control system, wherein the device control system is configured for identifying a target image and controlling an Internet of Things (IOT) device, the device control system is a wearable system, and the device control method comprises the following steps:

acquiring the target image, collecting information of a user in the current environment, identifying the IOT device in the target image, acquiring a mark in the current environment based on the target, and determining an IOT device that needs to be controlled based on the mark; and

issuing a command according to the information of the user to control the IOT device that needs to be controlled;

issuing the command according to the information of the user to control the IOT device that needs to be controlled further comprises:

identifying characteristics of intent information of the user according to the information of the user, and issuing the command according to the characteristics of intent information of the user to control the IOT device that needs to be controlled, wherein the characteristics of intent information of the user comprise a gesture, spatial attitude information of a wrist, or a limb movement.

2. The device control method of claim 1 , further comprising:

connecting the IOT device that needs to be controlled with the device control system and/or connecting the IOT device that needs to be controlled with a server, identifying the characteristics of intent information of the user to control the IOT device that needs to be controlled and/or determining a relationship between a spatial location of the user and a spatial location of the IOT device to control the IOT device that needs to be controlled; and

recognizing a target from the target image by the device control system and/or the server, and launching software in the device control system corresponding to the target.

3. The device control method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

collecting identity characteristics of the user and verifying whether the identity characteristics of the user is consistent with preset identity characteristics of the user, wherein,

if yes, the device control system will respond to input commands of the user;

if no, the device control system will not respond to the input commands of the user.

4. The device control method of claim 3 , wherein collecting identity characteristics of the user further comprises:

acquiring images of finger veins and joints of the user by an infrared camera.
