Abstract
The present invention discloses a system and method for controlling mutual access of smart devices. The method includes creating a home account on a cloud server, and adding smart devices and device information corresponding to the smart devices to a device list under the home account; acquiring, for each of the smart devices, authentication by using the home account and device information corresponding to the smart device; and establishing, for each of the smart devices, a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) long connection to the cloud server. In the present invention, a unique home account is created on a cloud server, so that smart devices log in to the cloud server by using the unified home account, and the smart devices under the unified home account allow mutual access when being authorized. Therefore, when smart devices in a home access each other, the workload is greatly reduced. Moreover, a permission management module is established on the cloud server, which limits permissions of sending messages between smart devices under a same home account or different home accounts, thereby improving the reliability and security of mutual access of the smart devices.
