License burning, processing method and device for wifi module

Abstract

The invention discloses a license burning and processing method and device of a WIFI module. The license burning and processing method comprises the steps that when the WIFI module is connected with a cloud server for the first time, a legality verification request sent by the WIFI module and including an MAC address is received; MAC on the legitimate MAC information pre-stored on the cloud server is queried, whether the MAC address belongs to the legitimate MAC information or not is judged; if it is determined that the MAC address belongs to the legitimate MAC information, a license character string is generated, wherein the license character string includes an MAC address field of the MAC address of the WIFI module; a preset encryption algorithm is applied to conduct encryption processing on the license character string to generate a software license, and the software license is sent to the WIFI module and burned in a designated target area. Therefore, in the mode that the software license is given through legality judgment of the server, software license burning during WIFI module production is avoided, the production process of the WIFI module is simplified, and the production efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of smart home technology, in particular to a method and device for burning and processing licenses of WIFI modules. Background technique [0002] A software license is a format contract signed between a software developer and a user to specify and limit the user's right to use the software or its source code, as well as the obligations of the software developer. [0003] With the continuous development of Internet technology, a WIFI module is usually installed in a smart home appliance to realize the connection between the home appliance and an external network. Among them, the WIFI module integrates many functions, such as multiple cloud platform docking (JD Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, etc.), over-the-air technology (Over-the-Air Technology, referred to as OTA) upgrade and near-field discovery and other functions. [0004] However, the WIFI modules in the existing smart home appliances usually do not have a soft...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the WIFI modules in the existing smart home appliances usually do not have a software license, and the same WIFI module firmware can be arbitrarily burned into multiple modules for use, and the rights and interests of the WIFI module owner cannot be guaranteed; and the WIFI modules of smart home appliances have Software license, the software license is generated according to the physical address of the WIFI module (Media Access Control, referred to as MAC)

[0005] In this way, the software license that needs to be bound to the physical address needs to read the physical address from the WIFI module first when burning, and then find the corresponding software license mapping table from the physical address-software license mapping table, and burn The whole process of recording to the WIFI module requires a separate process in production, and it is time-consuming and low in production efficiency
