1. A smart magic cube controller, comprising:
a controller body, wherein the controller body comprises a plurality of surfaces, and wherein at least one surface of the controller body is configured as a display screen;
a posture sensing module comprising at least one of a gyroscope or an acceleration sensor, wherein the posture sensing module is configured to collect placement state information regarding the controller body; and
a control module comprising a processing unit, wherein the control module is signally connected to the posture sensing module, wherein the control module is configured to:
determine a current top surface of the controller body according to the placement state information collected by the posture sensing module,
transmit a scene mode control instruction corresponding to the current top surface according to the determined current top surface, wherein the scenes mode control instruction comprises at least one of:
an instruction to modify an operation of a light in an environment, or
an instruction to modify an operation of an air conditioner in the environment, and
when the display screen is located on a surface other than the current top surface and a bottom surface of the controller body:
upon determining that a static time of the controller body is greater than a preset time, control the display screen to display content of the scene mode corresponding to the current top surface,
upon determining that the controller body has moved, control the display screen to display the content of the scene mode corresponding to the display screen, rather than the content of the scene mode corresponding to the current top surface, and
control a display picture of the display screen to be displayed upright.
