Home network equipment management method, control equipment and home network equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a home network equipment management method, control equipment and home network equipment and belongs to the field of home networks. The method includes: the control equipment and the home network equipment are subjected to mutual authentication; and the control equipment receives a first certificate and a second certificate which are sent by master equipment, and sends the first certificate and the second certificate to the home network equipment. The home network equipment and the master equipment are subjected to mutual authentication for setup of trust relation to join in an equipment group, the master equipment issues the master equipment certificates for authentication to the home network equipment, and the certificates issued by the master equipment are used for guaranteeing safety in subsequent interaction between the master equipment and the home network equipment and among the home network equipment and other devices in the groups.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of home network, in particular to a management method of home network equipment, control equipment and home network equipment. Background technique [0002] With the development of the digital home and the general digitization of consumer electronic products, more and more digital entertainment devices and home appliances are appearing in the family, and these entertainment devices and home appliances are connected into a home network in a wired or wireless manner. In order to realize functions such as content sharing or mutual control, it is the concept of digital home network that the industry is conceiving and trying to realize. At present, organizations dedicated to the development of home network interoperability standards mainly include UPnP (Universal Plug and Play), DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance, Digital Living Network Alliance), IGRS (Intelligent Grouping and Resource Sharing, resource sharing...

Problems solved by technology

One of the problems to be solved is: how to establish mutual trust with the master device of the device group and join the group after the new device joins the home network, so as to accept the management of the master device and securely communicate with other devices in the group

[0005] In the existing technology, a CP and a device can only establish a trust relationship between the two parties. When a new device joins the device group, it needs to repeat the same steps of establishing a trust relationship with the CP, the master device, and other devices. The interaction process between devices is complicated. , and the user needs to enter the PIN code multiple times, the experience is poor
