  • Publication number: 20160174268
    Abstract: A communication method for a smart home controller which may include a smart home controller, which establishes a network connection with household appliances. The smart home controller receives a data packet sent by a household appliance. The smart home controller may determine the protocol type of the communication protocol supported by the household appliance through the protocol identifier. The smart home controller may select, based on the determination result, a protocol analysis program corresponding to the protocol type of the communication protocol from a plurality of protocol analysis programs, and may use the protocol analysis program to analyze the data packet, thereby achieving data transmission with the household appliance. At least one embodiment can realize data transmission between the smart home controller and a plurality of household appliances.

  • Patent number: 9014756
    Abstract: An intelligent terminal that allows for replacement of a wireless communication device by a user is disclosed, which comprises an intelligent terminal body and the wireless communication device having a SIM card. The wireless communication device is detachably inserted in a slot of the intelligent terminal body and connected to the intelligent terminal body via an interface, and the outer surface of the wireless communication device matches with the outer surface of the intelligent terminal body, such that the wireless network accessing function of the ultra-thin intelligent terminal is ensured even when no WiFi or 4G network resources are available. Meanwhile, this intelligent terminal can prevent the wireless network accessing device from being subjected to external impact and the consequent damage on the interface. Moreover, the detachable wireless communication device also makes it convenient for the user to choose different kinds of wireless network accessing devices freely.

  • Publication number: 20140038533
    Abstract: An intelligent terminal that allows for replacement of a wireless communication device by a user is disclosed, which comprises an intelligent terminal body and the wireless communication device having a SIM card installed therein. A slot for accommodating the wireless communication device is disposed at a side of the intelligent terminal body, the wireless communication device is detachably inserted in the slot and connected to the intelligent terminal body via an interface, and the outer surface of the wireless communication device matches with the outer surface of the intelligent terminal body. Because the intelligent terminal adopts a wireless communication device whose outer surface matches with the outer surface of the body of the intelligent terminal, the wireless network accessing function of the ultra-thin intelligent terminal (e.g., a tablet computer) is ensured even when no WiFi or 4G network resources are available.
