The WiFI module 302 includes: controller 321, WiFI module 322, and storage module 323, wherein:

the controller 321 is configured to embed an AP software control module, and after the AP software control module is started, the WiFi module 322 will establish an AP channel. The WiFI module 302 is one module in the internet of things appliance 301.

The controller 321 is further configured to verify the validity of the identity of the user control terminal 303, and if the identity of the user control terminal is legal, control the WiFi module 322 to establish a direct connection with the user control terminal through an AP channel.

Here, the verifying the validity of the identity of the user control terminal 303 is to determine whether AP direct connection request information (including the first AP direct connection request information and the second AP direct connection request information) sent by the user control terminal 303 meets a first preset condition (or a second preset condition). Correspondingly, if the AP direct connection request information (first AP direct connection request information) sent by the user control terminal 303 meets a first preset condition (or second AP direct connection request information sent by other user control terminals meets a second preset condition), it is determined that the identity of the user control terminal 303 has validity.

The controller 321 is further configured to verify whether the ue has the validity of acquiring data for exchange sent by other ues.

Here, the validity of the data for exchange is verified, that is, whether the fourth key in the acquisition request information sent by the user control terminal for acquiring the data for exchange sent by the other user control terminal matches the third key in the upload request information is determined. Correspondingly, if the fourth key in the acquisition request information is matched with the third key in the uploading request information, the user control terminal is determined to have the legality of acquiring the data which are sent by other user control terminals and used for exchanging.

The controller 321 is further configured to temporarily store data for exchange, which is received by the WiFi module 322 and sent by the user control terminal, in a storage space of the WiFi module 322, and if the fourth key in the acquisition request information matches the third key in the upload request information, load the data for exchange, which is temporarily stored in the storage space of the WiFi module 322.

Here, the loading of the data for exchange to the WiFi module 322 is to send the data for exchange uploaded by the user control terminal to another user control terminal, so as to implement data exchange between different user control terminals in an AP direct connection manner. The data for exchange (i.e., shared data) may be contents of a custom menu homemade by a user for an intelligent home appliance (e.g., an intelligent rice cooker).

The WiFi module 322 is configured to perform wireless direct connection bidirectional communication with the user control terminal that has established direct connection through an AP channel, to obtain a path, that is, a first path, directly connected to an AP of the user control terminal (that is, a first user terminal or a second user terminal).

The storage module 323 is configured to temporarily store data sent by the ue to the WiFi module 322 via the first path, where the data is ready to be exchanged with another ue (e.g., a second ue).

The user control terminal 303 is configured to send an AP direct connection request, that is, first AP direct connection request information or second AP direct connection request information, to the WiFi module 322 through another channel (for example, an STA channel); the user control terminal 303 may be an electronic device such as a smart phone, a computer, or a tablet computer with a WiFi function. The user control terminal 303 may be one or more user control terminals, and as shown in fig. 3, the user control terminal 303 may include a user control terminal 1, a user control terminal 2, and a user control terminal 3.

Generally, when two user terminals controlling the household electrical appliance are not connected to the internet, data exchange between the two terminals cannot be realized through the network, but in the embodiment of the present invention, the two user terminals are directly connected to the AP of the household electrical appliance, and data exchange can be completed through the AP direct connection path, as shown in fig. 4A, both the mobile phone 42 and the mobile phone 43 are used for controlling the electric rice cooker 41, and both the mobile phone 42 and the mobile phone 43 are in a state of not being connected to the internet. Under the condition that the mobile phone 42 and the mobile phone 43 are not connected with the internet, the data exchange can be completed through the following steps:

in the first step, the mobile phone 42 (first user terminal) and the mobile phone 43 (second user terminal) respectively send the first AP direct connection request message and the second AP direct connection request message to the electric cooker 41 (home appliance).

In the second step, the electric cooker 41 determines whether the first AP direct connection request information and the second AP direct connection request information satisfy a preset condition. If the first AP direct connection request message and the second AP direct connection request message both satisfy the preset condition, the electric cooker 41 and the mobile phone 42 and the mobile phone 43 establish AP direct connection with the electric cooker through the AP of the electric cooker 41, and obtain a first path and a second path, respectively.

And thirdly, the mobile phone 42 sends the request information to the electric rice cooker 41 through the first path, and the request information is used for uploading the request information which is shared by other mobile phones and contains the user-defined menu (as displayed in an area 44, the user-defined menu comprises fried green vegetables, steamed eggs and the like).

And fourthly, if the byte number of the storage space of the electric cooker is more than or equal to the byte number of the uploaded request information, the electric cooker 41 stores the self-set menu uploaded by the mobile phone 42 in the electric cooker 41.

Fifthly, if the user of the mobile phone 43 wishes to obtain the menu information uploaded by the mobile phone 42, the mobile phone 43 sends an obtaining request message to the electric rice cooker 41 through the second path.

Sixthly, the electric rice cooker 41 judges whether the first key in the uploading request information sent by the mobile phone 42 is matched with the second key in the acquisition request sent by the mobile phone 43, if the first key is matched with the second key, the electric rice cooker 41 sends the self-defined menu uploaded by the mobile phone 42 to the mobile phone 43, and therefore data exchange can be completed even if the mobile phone 42 and the mobile phone 43 are not networked.

Fig. 4B is a schematic diagram of a flow of implementing data exchange based on AP direct connection according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 4B, the method includes the following steps:

in step S401, the user powers on the home appliance.

Here, the internet of things household appliance is connected with the WiFi module, and the internet of things household appliance is powered on, namely, the WiFi module supplies power.

Step S402, the controller of the WiFi module in the household appliance loads the AP software control module to enable the WiFi module to load the AP channel.

In step S403, the first user control terminal sends the first AP direct connection request information to the WiFi module in the home appliance device through a channel (e.g., an STA channel) other than the AP channel.

Here, the first user terminal sends the first AP direct connection request information to the WiFi module in the home appliance device through a channel (e.g., an STA channel) other than the AP channel without connecting to the internet. As shown in fig. 4A, when both the mobile phone 42 and the mobile phone 43 are unable to connect to the internet, the mobile phone 42 and the mobile phone 43 respectively request the first AP direct connection request information and the second AP direct connection request information from the electric cooker 41.

The first user control terminal (i.e., the first user terminal) may be an electronic device such as a smartphone, a computer, or a tablet computer with a WiFi function; the first AP direct connection request at least comprises: identification information (i.e. first identification information) and a third key of the home device; the identification information may be any information capable of uniquely identifying the home appliance, such as a physical address, a serial number, and the like of the home appliance.

And S404, the household appliance judges whether the AP direct connection request information meets a preset condition or not.

Here, if the AP direct connection request information satisfies a preset condition, the method proceeds to step S405; if the AP direct connection request information does not satisfy the preset condition, step S441 is performed, that is, the household appliance controls the WiFi module to not establish a direct connection with the first user control terminal. The preset condition can be any information capable of uniquely identifying the WiFi module and a preset decryption algorithm. And when the identification information of the household appliance in the first AP direct connection request is the same as the set identification information of the household appliance and the third secret key is matched with a preset decryption algorithm, determining that the first AP direct connection request meets a preset condition. As shown in fig. 4A, the electric cooker 41 determines whether the first AP direct connection request information and the second AP direct connection request information satisfy the preset condition.

Step S405, the household appliance control WiFi module establishes direct connection with the first user control terminal through the AP channel to obtain a first path.

Here, the first path may be understood as a direct connection path established between the mobile phone 42 and the electric cooker 41 in fig. 4A.

Step S406, the first user control terminal sends the upload request information to the household electrical appliance through the first path.

Here, the first user control terminal sends upload request information to a WiFi module of the household appliance through the first path; as shown in fig. 4A, the mobile phone 42 transmits to the electric cooker 41 upload request information including a user-customized menu for sharing with other mobile phones.

Here, the upload request information includes at least: the shared data and the first key. The upload request information may be data uploaded by the first user control terminal (e.g., a mobile phone of a user) for sharing with other user control terminals, such as a customized menu of the smart rice cooker.

Step S407, the home appliance determines whether the size of the current storage space of the home appliance can store the shared data.

Here, if the current own storage space can store the shared data, the step S408 is entered; if the current own storage space cannot store the shared data, the process proceeds to step S409.

Step S408, the controller of the home appliance temporarily stores the shared data in the current storage space of the home appliance.

Here, the sharing data is temporarily stored in the current storage space, and it can be understood that, in fig. 4A, the electric cooker 41 stores the self-defined menu uploaded by the mobile phone 42 in the electric cooker 41.

Step S409, the WiFi module of the household appliance sends rejection information to the first user control terminal.

Here, the rejection information is used to indicate that the WiFi module rejects to receive the upload request information sent by the first user control terminal through the first path.

And step S410, the second user control terminal sends the acquisition request information to the WiFi module of the household appliance through the second path.

Here, in step S410, before the second user control terminal sends the acquisition request information to the WiFi module through the second path, the controller controls the WiFi module to establish a direct connection with the second user control terminal through the AP channel, so as to obtain the second path. As shown in fig. 4A, the second path is a path established by the direct AP connection between the rice cooker 41 and the mobile phone 43.

The obtaining request information at least comprises: a second key. For example, the obtaining request information may be a user-defined menu sent by the second user control terminal (i.e. an electronic device such as a mobile phone) for obtaining the intelligent electric cooker uploaded by the first user control terminal.

In step S411, the controller of the WiFi module in the home appliance determines whether the first key is matched with the second key.

Here, if the first key matches the second key, step S412 is entered; if the first key does not match the second key, the process proceeds to step S413. As shown in fig. 4A, the electric cooker 41 determines whether the first key in the upload request message sent by the mobile phone 42 matches the second key in the acquisition request sent by the mobile phone 43, and if the first key matches the second key, the electric cooker 41 sends the custom menu uploaded by the mobile phone 42 to the mobile phone 43.

Step S412, the home appliance loads the shared data temporarily stored in the current storage space of the home appliance to the WiFi module, and sends the shared data to the second user control terminal through the WiFi module.

In step S413, the home device still stores the shared data in its current storage space.

Here, the saving the shared data in the current own storage space is: storing the shared data in a storage module in a WiFi module of the household appliance; and after the second user control terminal receives the shared data uploaded by the first user control terminal, the data exchange between the first user control terminal and the second user control terminal based on the AP direct connection is realized.
