  • Patent number: 9911417
    Abstract: An internet of things (IOT) system includes an IOT server and multiple IOT devices and a voice-controlled device connected to the IOT server and the multiple IOT devices. The voice-controlled device receives a voice-controlled message of environmental sound information through a voice control interface, and broadcasts the voice-controlled message to neighboring IOT devices to drive a corresponding IOT device according to the voice-controlled message. When failing to recognize the voice-controlled message, the voice control interface uploads the voice-controlled message to a cloud server for query through the IOT server, and broadcasts a result of the query returned from the cloud server. A way of chain broadcasting is employed by the voice-controlled device to drive selected IOT device or receive returned information so as to enhance operational convenience in using IOT devices.
