Method, device and system for recovering terminal configuration

[0041] In Embodiment 1, the terminal configuration is restored according to the level of the restoration of the terminal configuration.

[0042] In Embodiment 1, the level of terminal configuration is controlled by restoring the level of terminal configuration. The sending of the setting information for restoring terminal configuration can be realized by the following ResetCPEByLevel method. The format of the ResetCPEByLevel method is shown in Table 1. The parameter iLevel identifies the level at which the terminal configuration is restored.

[0043] Table 1: Format of the ResetCPEByLevel method

[0044] Method name ResetCPEByLevel Input parameters int iLevel Output parameters no return value Success or failure

[0045] The number of recovery levels configured by the terminal can be specifically set according to the actual application environment, and is not limited here. For example, it can be divided into the following three types:

[0046] At the first level, restore the terminal configuration to a manageable state. In other words, you only need to keep the terminal configuration information to the extent that the terminal management system can manage it. When the terminal is restored to this level, the terminal is a clean terminal for the terminal management system, and the terminal management system can configure the terminal without caring about the pre-configuration state of the terminal. The pre-configuration state of the terminal mentioned here is Refers to the configuration information that already exists before the terminal management system configures the terminal;

[0047]The second level is to restore the terminal configuration to the last correct configuration state. That is to say, when the terminal cannot be used due to some misconfiguration error, the configuration information of the terminal can be restored to the state before the error through the restoration configuration of this level, so that the terminal can be used and the terminal can be restored. The original configuration information of the terminal, which can ensure that the terminal restores its existing business capabilities;

[0048] The third level is to restore the terminal configuration to the factory configuration state. That is, the terminal is completely restored to make its configuration state the same as the factory configuration state.

[0049] The operation flow of the method is as follows figure 2 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0050] Step 201, the terminal sends report information: that is, when the terminal is online, the terminal sends the report information to the terminal management system to inform the terminal management system that the terminal is online.

[0051] Step 202: The terminal management system responds to the reported information of the terminal: after receiving the reported information, the terminal management system confirms that the terminal is online, and returns a response message to the terminal to inform the terminal that the terminal management system knows that the terminal is online.

[0052] Step 203, the terminal management system issues the ResetCPEByLevel(1) method: after responding to the terminal's reported information, the terminal management system issues the ResetCPEByLevel(1) method to the terminal regardless of the state of the terminal's existing configuration.

[0053] Through the issuance of the ResetCPEByLevel(1) method, it is convenient for the terminal to be restored to a manageable state under the control of the terminal management system. In this way, the configuration information of all terminals can be the same after configuration, no matter what the original configuration information is. Yes, the terminal management system no longer cares about the original configuration information of each terminal. For a business, the terminal management system can use only one corresponding configuration template, and then configure all online terminals through this configuration template to make the online terminal With this business function, it reduces the number of configurations and improves the work efficiency of the terminal management system.

[0054] Step 204, the terminal restores the configuration and retains the management channel: after the terminal receives the ResetCPEByLevel(1) method issued by the terminal management system, it restores the terminal configuration according to the level of the terminal configuration indicated in the ResetCPEByLevel(1) method—the first level, restore The terminal is configured to a manageable state and a management channel (management PVC) is reserved for the terminal management system.

[0055] Among them, referring to the description of step 101, there is at least one management channel between the terminal and the terminal management system. When the configuration of the terminal is restored in this step, for example, when the configuration of the terminal is restored according to the second or third level, A certain parameter corresponding to the management channel may be deleted under the control of the terminal management system. At this time, the management channel between the terminal and the terminal management system will be unavailable, and subsequent communication between the terminal and the terminal management system will not be possible. ; The reserved management channel in this step is intended to emphasize that in the terminal recovery configuration, at least one management channel must be reserved between the terminal and the terminal management system, so that the terminal management system can perform other configuration operations on the terminal and accept the terminal for the terminal Management system management and configuration business functions provide communication guarantee.

[0056] Step 205: The terminal sends a response message to the terminal management system: the terminal sends a response message to the terminal management system after reserving a management channel for the terminal management system.

[0057] The response message is used to inform the terminal management system that the terminal has been restored to a manageable state and can be managed by the terminal management system.

[0058] Step 206: The terminal management system receives the response message and performs service configuration: the terminal management system receives the response message, that is, it learns that the terminal is ready and can start to issue service operations, so the terminal management system receives the response message Then, according to the configuration template of a certain service, the configuration process of the service can be started according to the configuration template, and the service function configuration of the terminal is completed, that is, the terminal is configured so that the terminal has the service function.

[0059] The above operation steps are that the terminal management system performs the first-level recovery configuration on the terminal and completes the service function configuration on the terminal.

[0060] It should be noted that the operation procedure for restoring configuration at other levels of the terminal is the same as the above-mentioned first-level restoring configuration operation. The application scenario of the third-level recovery configuration (ie calling the ResetCPEByLevel(3) method) of the terminal is the same as the first level above, that is, the terminal management system does not need to worry about the existing configuration information of the terminal and can restore it; The second-level restoration configuration (and calling the ResetCPEByLevel(2) method) is mainly used to configure the terminal for business configuration errors. For example, a terminal can already access the Internet, but if the user needs to activate the IPTV service, then issue the IPTV in the terminal management system If an error occurs during business, you can call the ResetCPEByLevel(2) method to restore the terminal to a state where it can access the Internet, and then you can perform other configurations on the terminal.

[0061] In addition, if the terminal already has a certain service function before the terminal is restored to the configuration, and the terminal management system hopes that the terminal can retain the configuration information corresponding to the service when the terminal is restored to the configuration, the terminal management system is required to correspond to the service The configuration template of is delivered to the terminal as a parameter, and the terminal is notified that when the configuration is restored, it needs to retain all configuration items of the service according to the configuration template corresponding to the service.

[0062] In Embodiment 1, the terminal management system sets the level of configuration restoration for the terminal to indicate the degree to which the terminal needs to restore configuration, and controls the terminal to restore configuration to the state desired by the terminal management system (such as manageable state, last correct configuration state , Factory configuration state, etc.), which greatly improves the flexibility of configuration while maintaining the manageability of the terminal by the terminal management system; and the terminal management system controls the terminal to restore the configuration to the state desired by the terminal management system, so that the For successfully configured parameters, there is no need to perform a complete restoration first and then re-issue configuration parameters as in the prior art, thereby reducing the number of times the terminal management system configures the terminal and improving the work efficiency of the terminal management system.

[0063] Further, after the terminal management system restores the configuration of the terminal, the configuration status of all online terminals is in a unified state, avoiding the problem of inconsistent terminal configuration information or factory configuration, and solving the problem of terminal pre-configuration information or factory configuration The management problems caused by the inconsistency reduce the number of configurations, improve the working efficiency of the terminal management system, and further increase the application scope of the terminal.

[0064] In Embodiment 2, the terminal configuration is restored according to the strategy of restoring the terminal configuration.

[0065] In Embodiment 2, the technical solution of the method is to control the degree of restoration of the terminal configuration through a pre-established strategy for restoring the terminal configuration. The sending of the setting information of the restored terminal configuration can be realized by the following ResetCPEByStrategy method, ResetCPEByStrategy method The format is shown in Table 2,

[0066] Table 2: Format of the ResetCPEByStrategy method

[0067] Method name ResetCPEByStrategy Input parameters Object oXmlFile

[0068] Output parameters no return value Success or failure

[0069] The input parameter is used to identify the degree of terminal configuration restoration, that is, the input parameter is used to carry the strategy for restoring the terminal configuration; the input parameter may be an Xml (EXtensible Markup Language) file or a configuration template. The strategy can describe: configuration information that needs to be retained when restoring terminal configuration, for example, configuration items that need to be retained (such as configuration items when IPTV service is activated), etc.; and/or configuration information that needs to be deleted when restoring terminal configuration and many more. When restoring the terminal configuration, the terminal selectively restores the configuration according to the strategy, specifically, according to the information described in the Xml file or configuration template.

[0070] The operation flow of the method is as follows image 3 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0071] Step 301, the terminal sends report information: that is, when the terminal is online, the terminal sends the report information to the terminal management system to inform the terminal management system that the terminal is online.

[0072] Step 302: The terminal management system responds to the reported information of the terminal: after receiving the reported information, the terminal management system confirms that the terminal is online, and returns response information to the terminal to inform the terminal that the terminal management system is aware that the terminal is online.

[0073] Step 303: The terminal management system issues the ResetCPEByStrategy method: the terminal management system issues the ResetCPEByStrategy method to the terminal after responding to the information reported by the terminal.

[0074] Through the issuance of the ResetCPEByStrategy method, it is convenient for the terminal to restore to the state indicated by the ResetCPEByStrategy method under the control of the terminal management system. In this way, the configuration information of all terminals can be the same after configuration, and the terminal management system does not need to care anymore For the original configuration information of each terminal, for a business, the terminal management system can use only one corresponding configuration template, so that all online terminals can be configured through the configuration template, so that the online terminal has the service function and reduces Configure the number of times to improve the work efficiency of the terminal management system; while restoring the terminal configuration, the terminal can selectively retain some of the existing configuration information of the terminal according to the input parameters of the ResetCPEByStrategy method (such as Xml files, configuration templates, etc.) Retain certain business functions.

[0075] Step 304: The terminal restores the configuration and retains the management channel: after the terminal receives the ResetCPEByStrategy method issued by the terminal management system, it restores the terminal configuration to the state indicated by the ResetCPEByStrategy method according to the configuration information for restoring the terminal configuration indicated in the ResetCPEByStrategy method After that, a management channel (management PVC) is reserved for the terminal management system.

[0076] Among them, referring to the description of step 101, there is at least one management channel between the terminal and the terminal management system. When the configuration of the terminal is restored in this step, for example, when the configuration of the terminal is restored according to the second or third level, A certain parameter corresponding to the management channel may be deleted under the control of the terminal management system. At this time, the management channel between the terminal and the terminal management system will be unavailable, and subsequent communication between the terminal and the terminal management system will not be possible. ; The reserved management channel in this step is intended to emphasize that in the terminal recovery configuration, at least one management channel must be reserved between the terminal and the terminal management system, so that the terminal management system can subsequently perform service configuration operations on the terminal and accept the terminal The terminal management system delivers services to provide communication guarantee.

[0077] Step 305: The terminal sends a response message to the terminal management system: the terminal sends a response message to the terminal management system after reserving a management channel for the terminal management system.

[0078] The response message is used to inform the terminal management system that the terminal has been restored to the state indicated by the ResetCPEByStrategy method and can accept the management of the terminal management system.

[0079]Step 306: The terminal management system receives the response message and performs service configuration: the terminal management system receives the response message, that is, it learns that the terminal is ready and can start to issue service operations, so the terminal management system receives the response message Then, according to the configuration template of a certain service, the configuration process of the service can be started according to the configuration template, and the service function configuration of the terminal is completed, that is, the terminal is configured so that the terminal has the service function.

[0080] In Embodiment 2, the terminal management system issues a configuration restoration strategy to the terminal in the form of, for example, an Xml file, indicating the extent to which the terminal needs to restore the configuration, thereby selectively controlling the configuration items that the terminal needs to restore, greatly improving the configuration Flexibility, while maintaining the manageability of the terminal management system to the terminal; restoring the terminal to the desired level of the terminal management system, reducing the number of configurations and improving the configuration efficiency of the terminal management system.

[0081] In Embodiment 3, setting information for restoring the terminal configuration according to the level and strategy is sent to the terminal.

[0082] In Embodiment 3, the technical solution of the method is to control the degree of restoration of the terminal configuration by restoring the level of the terminal configuration and the strategy of restoring the terminal configuration. The setting information of the restored terminal configuration can be sent through the following ResetCPEForDiff The method is implemented. The format of the ResetCPEForDiff method is shown in Table 3. There are two input parameters, int Level identifies the level of the terminal configuration to be restored, and Object oXmlFile identifies the description file of the basic configuration that needs to be retained when the terminal configuration is restored. When the terminal restores the configuration according to the level of the restored terminal configuration, it needs to retain the configuration items described in the configuration file Object oXmlFile. For example, the level of restoring terminal configuration is the first level. Object oXmlFile describes the configuration items when IPTV service is activated. When restoring the configuration, the terminal must retain the configuration items corresponding to the IPTV service and the configuration items that can be managed, that is, the terminal The IPTV service functions and manageable functions need to be retained, and other configuration items can be selectively retained or deleted.

[0083] Table 3: Format of ResetCPEForDiff method

[0084] Method name ResetCPEForDiff Input parameters int iLevel, Object oXmlFile Output parameters no return value Success or failure

[0085] In embodiment 3, the setting of the level is similar to that of embodiment 1, the formulation of the strategy is similar to that of embodiment 2, and the operation steps of embodiment 3 are similar to that of embodiment 1 (or embodiment 2), which will not be repeated here. Go into details.

[0086] For a terminal that fails during the configuration process, if the successfully configured configuration items can be retained during the recovery process, the terminal management system can reduce the interaction with the terminal. If you upgrade according to a certain strategy, you can tell the terminal through the xml file which configuration items need to be retained during recovery.

[0087] The number of interactions between the terminal management system and the terminal in the process of managing the terminal will affect its performance. When the number of terminals reaches a certain value, the performance of the terminal management system can be greatly improved if the interaction with the terminals can be minimized.

[0088] In Embodiment 3, the terminal management system uses a combination of the level and strategy of restoring terminal configuration to indicate the extent to which the terminal needs to restore the configuration, which can more effectively control the terminal restoration to the extent desired by the terminal management system, greatly increasing the configuration Flexibility, while maintaining the manageability of the terminal management system to the terminal, reducing the number of configurations, and improving the configuration efficiency of the terminal management system.

[0089] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for terminal configuration. The flowchart of the method is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the specific operation steps include:

[0090] Step 401: Receive the setting information for restoring the terminal configuration sent by the terminal management system, where the setting information includes the level or/and strategy for restoring the terminal configuration, and the level or/and strategy is used to indicate the degree of restoring the configuration of the terminal.

[0091] Step 402: Restore the configuration according to the setting information of the restored terminal configuration.

[0092] After the operation of restoring the terminal configuration is completed, at least one management channel is reserved between the terminal management system and the terminal. The terminal sends a response message to the terminal management system through the management channel. The response message is used to inform the terminal management system that the terminal has been The configuration state of the terminal is restored to the state required by the terminal management system; the terminal management system receives the response message, starts the service configuration process, and then starts to deliver services to the terminal so that the terminal has service functions.

[0093] The embodiment of the terminal configuration method is similar to the related description in the embodiment of the restoration configuration method, and will not be repeated here.

[0094] in Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, the terminal receives the setting information, and restores the setting information to the extent indicated by the terminal management system through the setting information according to the setting information. The configuration is flexible; moreover, certain settings can be reserved under the control of the terminal management system. These successfully configured parameters reduce the number of terminal configurations and improve the working efficiency of the terminal.

[0095] Figure 5 This is a device for restoring terminal configuration according to an embodiment of the present invention. The device may be set in a terminal management system. The device includes a configuration control unit 501, wherein:

[0096] The configuration control unit 501 is configured to send setting information for restoring the terminal configuration to the terminal, where the setting information includes a level or/and strategy for restoring the terminal configuration, and the level or/and strategy is used to indicate the degree to which the terminal configuration is restored .

[0097] Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, the setting information for restoring the terminal configuration is sent to the terminal. The setting information contains the level information for restoring the terminal configuration according to the level or/and strategy, so that the terminal can restore the configuration according to the level information , So that the terminal management system can control the degree of terminal configuration restoration, so that the terminal configuration is restored to the state desired by the terminal management system, greatly improving configuration flexibility, while maintaining the terminal management system's manageability of the terminal; and, The device controls the terminal to restore the configuration to the state desired by the terminal management system, which reduces the number of terminal configurations and improves the work efficiency of the terminal management system.

[0098] Figure 6 Shown is another device for restoring terminal configuration in an embodiment of the present invention. The device can be set in a terminal management system. The device includes a configuration control unit 601, a receiving unit 602, and a service configuration unit 603, where:

[0099] The control configuration unit 601 is configured to send setting information for restoring terminal configuration to the terminal, where the setting information includes the level or/and strategy for restoring the terminal configuration, and the level or/and strategy is used to indicate the degree to which the terminal configuration is restored .

[0100] The receiving unit 602 is configured to receive a response message returned by the terminal after restoring configuration according to the setting information, and send the response message to the service configuration unit 603.

[0101] The service configuration unit 603 is configured to start the service configuration process according to the received response message and the configuration template of the pre-issued service to complete the service function configuration of the terminal.

[0102] Through the service function configuration, the terminal can have the service function after completing the service configuration.

[0103] Figure 6 The device for restoring the terminal configuration in the embodiment of the present invention sends the setting information for restoring the terminal configuration to the terminal, so that the terminal management system can control the degree of restoring the terminal configuration and restore the terminal configuration to the state desired by the terminal management system. The configuration flexibility is improved while maintaining the manageability of the terminal management system to the terminal; and the device controls the terminal to restore the configuration to the state desired by the terminal management system, and instructs the terminal to retain the successfully configured parameters without re-issued This parameter reduces the number of interactions with the terminal and improves the work efficiency of the terminal management system.

[0104] Furthermore, it also solves the problem of difficult management caused by the inconsistent terminal pre-configuration information in the prior art. This is because at present, after the terminal is distributed to various provinces and cities, each province and city has different requirements for the pre-configuration of the terminal. It brings great difficulties for the terminal management system to manage the terminal. In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, for the terminal management system, the state of the terminal is consistent. When the terminal management system configures the terminal, only one template is required for the same service. For example, the first level in the solution of the method of restoring configuration is to restore the terminal to a manageable state and delete all other configuration information. In this way, if the terminal management system issues this command to the terminal when the terminal reports, no matter what the terminal’s The pre-configuration information is the same for the management system. This greatly improves the management capabilities of the terminal management system.

[0105] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a device for restoring the configuration of a terminal. The device may be installed in the terminal. The schematic diagram of the structure of the device is as Figure 7 As shown, it includes a receiving unit 701 and a configuration unit 702, where

[0108] Further, the device may further include: a response unit 703:

[0109] The response unit is configured to send a response message to the terminal management system after the configuration unit completes the restoration configuration.

[0110] in Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, the receiving unit 701 receives the setting information, and the configuration unit 702 restores to the extent indicated by the terminal management system through the setting information according to the setting information. The configuration is flexible; moreover, some configurations can be retained. Information, reducing the number of terminal configurations and improving the working efficiency of the terminal.

[0111] Further, after the terminal management system restores the configuration of the terminal, the configuration status of all online terminals is in a unified state, avoiding the problem of inconsistent terminal configuration information or factory configuration, and solving the problem of terminal pre-configuration information or factory configuration The management problems caused by the inconsistency reduce the number of configurations, improve the working efficiency of the terminal management system, and further increase the application scope of the terminal.

[0112] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a system for restoring configuration, and the structural diagram of the system is as Figure 7 As shown, the system includes a terminal management system 801 and a terminal 802, where:

[0113] The terminal management system 801 is configured to send setting information for restoring terminal configuration to the terminal, where the setting information includes the level or/and strategy for restoring the terminal configuration, and the level or/and strategy is used to indicate the degree to which the terminal configuration is restored .

[0114] The terminal 802 is configured to receive the setting information, and restore the configuration according to the setting information.

[0115] It should be noted that, in the system, the number of the terminals may be one or multiple.

[0116] use Figure 8 The shown system for restoring the terminal configuration sends the setting information for restoring the terminal configuration to the terminal, and the terminal restores the configuration according to the setting information, so that the terminal management system can control the extent to which the terminal configuration is restored, so that the terminal configuration is restored to what the terminal management system wants The state greatly improves the flexibility of configuration while maintaining the manageability of the terminal management system to the terminal; and the device controls the terminal to restore the configuration to the state desired by the terminal management system, instructing the terminal to retain the successfully configured parameters without renewing By issuing the parameters, the number of interactions with the terminal is reduced, and the working efficiency of the terminal management system and the terminal is improved. Further, the management problems caused by the inconsistency of terminal pre-configuration information or factory configuration are solved, and the use range of the terminal is increased.
