For the existing smart lamp devices, after the lamp devices are installed, when searching on an APP of a user, only how many lamps exist can be searched, and the categories of the lamps cannot be identified, which requires an operator to personally identify categories or other information of the lamps, and to distinguish different lamps and lamp information by renaming an icon of the certain lamp in a terminal device, thereby manually identifying the information of the lamp. Apparently, the existing method for installing and debugging the lamp has a relatively low efficiency and increases the labor cost.

To more clearly describe the technical solutions in embodiments of the present invention, the drawings needed to be used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Apparently, the following drawings only show some embodiments of the present invention, so for those ordinary skilled in the art, other drawings can also be obtained according to these drawings without contributing creative work.

To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments.

The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

<FIG> is a schematic diagram of a preferred method for identifying product information according to the embodiments of the present invention. As shown in <FIG>, the method for identifying the product information specifically includes:
Step <NUM>: setting different power information intervals for different lamp categories. The power information interval is one or a combination of two or more of a voltage interval, a current interval and a frequency interval. The power information intervals corresponding to different lamp categories do not overlap with other. The following table is a voltage interval table corresponding to different categories of lamp devices.

As shown in table <NUM>, the voltage intervals corresponding to different categories of lamps do not overlap with each other. For example, the voltage interval of the luminous tube of the seventh category is <NUM>-<NUM>, the voltage interval of the concealed slot lamp of the adjacent eighth category is <NUM>-<NUM>, and the voltage intervals of the two do not overlap, thus ensuring that in the subsequent collection process, the situation that a same voltage value falls within two overlapping voltage intervals does not occur, thereby improving the efficiency of the subsequent collection.

The following table is a current interval table corresponding to different categories of lamp devices:.

As shown in table <NUM>, the current intervals corresponding to different categories of lamps do not overlap with each other. For example, the current detection interval of the string lamp of the ninth category is 160mA-180mA, the current detection interval of the lower ceiling lamp of the tenth category is 180mA-200mA, the current detection interval of the wall washer lamp of the eleventh category is 200mA-220mA, and the current intervals of the three do not overlap, thus ensuring that in the subsequent collection process, the situation that a same current value falls within two overlapping current intervals do not occur, thereby improving the efficiency of the subsequent collection.

The following table is a frequency signal interval table corresponding to different categories of lamp devices:.

As shown in table <NUM>, the frequency signal intervals corresponding to different categories of lamps do not overlap. Therefore, it is ensured that in the subsequent collection process, the situation that a same frequency signal value falls within two overlapping frequency signal intervals may not occur, thereby improving the subsequent collection efficiency.

Besides the above non-overlapping setting of the voltage interval, the current interval and the frequency signal interval, the interval values may also be allowed to partially overlap with each other. In the subsequent collection process, it is possible that the collected voltage value falls within two adjacent voltage intervals at the same time. In this situation, different devices cannot be distinguished only by voltage, and the category of the lamp shall be determined by further comprehensively considering which interval the current value falls within and/or which interval the frequency signal value falls within.

Step <NUM>: collecting the power information of a drive power corresponding to the lamp. In accordance with the power information set in the step <NUM>, the corresponding power information is collected. For example, in the case where the voltage interval is set in the step <NUM>, only the voltage is collected in the step <NUM>; in the case where the frequency interval is set in the step <NUM>, only the frequency is collected in the step <NUM>; and in the case where the voltage interval and the current interval are set in the step <NUM>, the voltage and the current are both collected. In the case where the voltage is collected, a resistor voltage division circuit is used for collection. In the case where the frequency is collected, a frequency generation circuit is used for collection.

Step <NUM>, determining the category of the lamp according to the collected power information corresponding to the lamp. Which category of the lamp in the table the lamp belongs to is determined by comparing the collected power information corresponding to the lamp with the power information table set for different lamp categories in the step <NUM>.

Step <NUM>, sending the category information of the lamp to a user terminal. The category information of the lamp is sent to the user terminal. After the lamp is powered on, the category of the lamp can be rapidly identified by the user on the user terminal, so that a complex process of manually naming and identifying the category of the lamp can be avoided. The user terminal is preferably operated by operating an APP of a mobile phone. Preferably, the user terminal invokes a preset mapping table of lamp category information and icons according to the received category information of the lamp and displays the category name of the lamp and the icon marking the lamp on a human-machine interface. The mapping table of lamp category information and icons includes category names and category icons of the lamps.

Besides the category information of the lamp sent to the user terminal, the information sent to the user terminal may also include power consumption, a network distribution state, a fault state of the lamp, etc., so that the user can rapidly complete network distribution of the product, scene setting and other function configurations in the installation and use process and understand the operation condition of the product in real time.

<FIG> is a schematic diagram of a preferred system for identifying product information according to the embodiments of the present invention. As shown in <FIG>, the system for identifying the product information includes a lamp information collection module, a controller and a user terminal.

The controller is used to set different power information intervals for different lamp categories. The power information interval is one or a combination of more of a voltage interval, a current interval and a frequency interval. One power information interval or the combination of more power information intervals can be used to distinguish different categories of lamps.

Table <NUM> is a voltage interval table corresponding to different categories of lamp devices. As shown in table <NUM>, the voltage intervals corresponding to different categories of lamps do not overlap with each other. For example, the voltage interval of the luminous tube of the seventh category is <NUM>-<NUM>, the voltage interval of the concealed slot lamp of the adjacent eighth category is <NUM>-<NUM>, and the voltage intervals of the two do not overlap, thus ensuring that in the subsequent collection process, the situation that a same voltage value falls within two overlapping voltage intervals do not occur, thereby improving efficiency of the subsequent collection.

Table <NUM> is a current interval table corresponding to different categories of lamp devices. As shown in table <NUM>, the current intervals corresponding to different categories of lamps do not overlap. For example, the current detection interval of the string lamp of the ninth category is 160mA-180mA, the current detection interval of the lower ceiling lamp of the tenth category is 180mA-200mA, the current detection interval of the wall washer lamp of the eleventh category is 200mA-220mA, and the current intervals of the three do not overlap, thus ensuring that in the subsequent collection process, the situation that a same current value falls within the two overlapping current intervals may not occur, thereby improving the subsequent collection efficiency.

Table <NUM> is a frequency signal interval table corresponding to different categories of lamp devices. As shown in table <NUM>, the frequency signal intervals corresponding to different categories of lamps do not overlap. Therefore, it is ensured that in the subsequent collection process, the situation that a same frequency signal value falls within two overlapping frequency signal intervals do not occur, thereby improving efficiency of the subsequent collection.

Besides the above non-overlapping setting of the voltage interval, the current interval and the frequency signal interval, the interval values may also be allowed to partially overlap with each other. In the subsequent collection process, it is possible that the collected voltage value may fall within two adjacent voltage intervals at the same time. In this situation, different devices cannot be distinguished only by voltage, and the category of the lamp shall be determined by comprehensively considering which interval the current value falls within and/or which interval the frequency signal value falls within.

After finishing setting the power information intervals, the controller regularly sends a request message of to-be-collected power information to the lamp information collection module connected with the controller in the lamp. For example, in the case where the controller only sets a voltage interval table, only the request message for collecting the voltage information needs to be sent to the lamp information collection module. In the case where the controller sets both a voltage interval table and a frequency interval table, the request message for collecting the voltage information and the frequency information need to be sent to the lamp information collection module. The controller sends the message to the lamp information collection module in a wired or wireless manner.

The lamp information collection module collects the power information of the drive power corresponding to the lamp after receiving the request message of the to-be-collected power information sent by the controller. In accordance with the power information in the request message, the corresponding power information is collected. For example, in the case where the voltage interval is set in the request message, only the voltage is collected; in the case where the frequency interval is set in the request message, only the frequency is collected; and in the case where the voltage interval and the current interval are set in the request message, both the voltage and the current are collected. In the case where the voltage is collected, a resistor voltage division circuit in the lamp information collection module is used for collection. In the case where the frequency is collected, a frequency generation circuit in the lamp information collection module is used for collection.

The lamp information collection module can be used to collect power consumption information, a network distribution state and a fault state information of the lamp besides the power information.

After collecting the information, the lamp information collection module sends the collected information to the controller in a wired or wireless manner.

After receiving the collected information sent by the lamp information collection module, the controller determines the category of the lamp according to the collected power information corresponding to the lamp. The collected power information corresponding to the lamp is compared with the power information interval table to determine which lamp category in the table the lamp belongs to.
