Abstract: A device group management system, method, and apparatus are provided. The method includes: after receiving an adding instruction of adding a target device into a target group, sending a broadcasting instruction to the target device where the broadcasting instruction triggers the target device to broadcast a signal, receiving signal strengths sent by reference devices where at least one of the signal strengths is signal strength of a received broadcasted signal which is acquired by one of the reference devices after it receives the broadcasted signal, and sorting the reference devices based on the signal strengths fed back by the reference devices.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a smart device grouping system, method and apparatus, which belong to the field of smart home. The method includes: sending a transmission power value to one or more smart devices; acquiring signal strength information fed back by the smart devices. The signal strength information include signal strengths of the received signals and identifications of the smart devices sending the received signals. The received signals are broadcast by other smart devices based on the transmission power value. The method further includes grouping the selected smart devices according to the signal strength information fed back by said each smart device.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method that includes: detecting an operating mode of a first device; and causing a second device associated with the first device to set an operating mode of the second device to a target operating mode, where the target operating mode matches the detected operating mode of the first device. Aspects of the disclosure also provide an apparatus that includes a processor configured to detect an operating mode of a first device, and to cause a second device associated with the first device to set an operating mode of the second device to a target operating mode, where the target operating mode matches the detected operating mode of the first device.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for controlling devices that includes: in response to an occurrence of an event in a mobile terminal, determining whether the event corresponds to a starting condition for adopting a control scene; when a determination indicates that the event corresponds to the starting condition for adopting the control scene, identifying one or more devices for executing one or more tasks in accordance with the control scene; and controlling the identified one or more devices to execute the one or more tasks in accordance with the control scene.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for managing an alarm clock. The method includes: acquiring a movement of a user; and cancelling a prompt preset in the alarm clock if the user is in a moving state when it is time to execute the prompt.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, devices and systems for accessing a network. The methods include: receiving a request message requesting for accessing a network, the request message being broadcast by a first communication device; detecting a current state of the network access device; when the network access device is in a device-access forbidding state, sending a state switching request to a terminal bound with the network access device, the terminal being configured to generate a reply message based on the state switching request; receiving the reply message sent by the terminal; and when the reply message instructs the network access device to switch to a device-access permitting state, switching the state of the network access device to the device-access permitting state.
