  • Publication number: 20170017218
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for controlling one or more intelligent devices. In the method, the apparatus stores configuration information that includes at least one identification that identifies at least one intelligent device, an execution operation corresponding to each intelligent device, and an execution condition corresponding to each execution operation. When a target execution condition is satisfied, the apparatus determines a target intelligent device and a target execution operation corresponding to the target execution condition by querying the configuration information according to the target execution condition. The apparatus then instructs the target intelligent device to perform the target execution operation.
