At the same time, it also brings electronic certification of fixed labels at both ends of the same optical cable core, that is, native optical cable core routing binding, and electronic certification of dynamic labels on connector pigtails at both ends of the jumper, that is, native jumper routing binding. On the electronic information platform, the identification of each optical port also brings huge challenges. How to use one label to reflect multiple optical port states has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0009] As a preferred solution for the optical port identification described in the present invention, the upper partition identifies whether an electronic tag is installed at the optical port, and its native connection relationship with the electronic tag installed on the optical port at the other end of the fiber core, and is reflected through morphological changes.
[0010] As a preferred scheme for the optical port identification described in the present invention, the lower partition identifies whether an electronic tag is installed at the connector inserted into the optical port, and the native connection relationship between the electronic tag and the dynamic tag installed on the connector at the other end of the jumper where it is located, and is reflected through morphological changes.
[0011] As a preferred solution for the optical port identification described in the present invention, after the electronic tag installed on the optical port and the electronic tag installed on the connector inserted into the optical port are paired and bound, the upper partition and the lower partition are represented by filling with color blocks.
[0012] As a preferred solution of the optical port identification method described in the present invention, the central identification area is used to identify whether the optical port is located at the branch of the optical path, the importance of the business in the optical path connected to the optical port, and the information of the paper label posted on the connector at the optical port.
[0013] As a preferred solution of the optical port identification method described in the present invention, it includes: using the dot matrix block located in the central identification area to reflect the information collection and processing status of the paper label, and the background of the dot matrix block uses different colors to reflect the following information: the paper label has been photographed, identified, matched with the resource information or not matched.
[0014] As a preferred solution of the optical port identification method of the present invention, the English letter Y is used on the central identification area to reflect that the optical port is located at the branch of the optical path.
[0015] As a preferred solution of the optical port identification method of the present invention, the central identification area uses English letters ABCD from high to low to indicate the importance of the service connected to the optical port.

[0040] The present invention is described in detail with reference to schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of the present invention, for the sake of convenience, the cross-sectional diagrams showing the device structure will not be partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] Example 1
[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 18 , as an embodiment of the present invention, provides an optical port identification and method, including:
[0045] The upper partition 100 and the lower partition 200 are connected to form a closed circle or square circle when neither of the upper partition 100 nor the lower partition 200 is installed with an electronic tag, wherein when either of the upper and lower partitions is installed with an electronic tag, it is separated into two areas.
[0046] Specifically, Figures 1-2 As shown, the electronic label installed at the optical port is displayed by the English letter E in the upper partition 100, which is deformed downward. An upper convex line 101 is added to the back of the middle line of the English letter E to reflect that the electronic label installed at the optical port at the other end of the fiber core where the upper partition 100 is located is paired and bound to the original connection relationship; the English letter E in the lower partition 200 is deformed upward to display the electronic label installed on the connector inserted at the optical port, and a lower convex line 201 is added to the back of the middle line of the English letter E to reflect that the electronic label installed on the connector at the other end of the jumper where the lower partition 200 is located is paired and bound to the original connection relationship. That is, the upper partition 100 is displayed as a fixed label installed at the optical port, and the lower partition 200 is displayed as a dynamic label installed on the connector pigtail inserted into the optical port. The installed electronic label body is represented by the English letter "E". The letter "E" in the upper partition 100 is displayed with the opening downward, and the letter "E" in the lower partition 200 is displayed with the opening upward. In addition, the original route formed at both ends of the optical cable connected to the optical port is reflected in the connection line extending from the back of the "E" in the upper partition 100 with the opening downward, and the original route formed by the connectors at both ends of the jumper is reflected in the connection line extending from the back of the "E" in the lower partition 200 with the opening upward.
[0047] Among them, the upper partition 100 indicates whether an electronic label is installed at the optical port, and the original connection relationship between the electronic label installed on the optical port at the other end of the fiber core where it is located, and is reflected through morphological changes; the lower partition 200 indicates whether an electronic label is installed at the connector inserted on the optical port, and the original connection relationship between the electronic label and the dynamic label installed on the connector at the other end of the jumper where it is located, and is reflected through morphological changes.
[0048] Specific label morphology changes such as Figures 4 to 10 As shown, Figure 4 For label form 1, a circle indicates unoccupied, and a square indicates occupied; Figure 5 Label form 2, indicating whether a label is installed at the optical port; Figure 6 It is label form 3, indicating whether the optical cable core associated with the fixed label installed at the optical port is electronically authenticated; Figure 7 Label form 4 indicates whether a label is installed on the fiber pigtail of the jumper connector installed at the optical port. Figure 8 It is label form 5, indicating whether the jumper fiber electronic authentication is associated with the dynamic label installed on the connector pigtail installed at the optical port; Fig. 9 Label form 6, indicating whether the fixed label and dynamic label at the optical port are paired or not; Fig.10 It is label form 7, which is a schematic diagram of the damage of the optical cable core associated with the optical port, where the electronic authentication indicates that the electronic label installed at the optical port at the other end of the fiber core is paired and bound to the original connection relationship.
[0049] Further, such as Figure 2As shown, after the electronic label installed on the optical port and the electronic label installed on the connector inserted into the optical port are paired and bound, the space between the upper partition 100 and the lower partition 200 is filled with a color block 300.
[0050] Preferably, the color block 300 is a green color block.
[0051] The present invention also provides an optical port identification method applied to optical port identification, including: using a central identification area 400 to identify whether the optical port is located at a branch of an optical path, the importance of the business in the optical path connected to the optical port, and the information of a paper label posted on a connector at the optical port.
[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the dot matrix block 500 located in the central identification area 400 is used to reflect the information collection and processing of the paper label. The background of the dot matrix block 500 reflects the following information through different colors: the paper label has been photographed, identified, matched with the resource information or not matched.
[0053] Furthermore, the English letter Y is used on the central identification area 400 to indicate that the optical port is located at the branch of the optical path; the English letters ABCD are used on the central identification area 400 to indicate the importance of the services connected to the optical port from high to low, where Fig.11 As shown, the importance level of the importance indicator of the occupied optical port connection service is a B-level indicator.
[0054] More specifically, Figures 12-13 As shown in the figure, it indicates whether it is a splitter port identification. Fig.12 The diagram shows an unoccupied + splitter port. Fig.13 Indicates that the importance level is A and the splitter port is Y. Figures 14 to 18 As shown, it is used to indicate whether the paper label is photographed, identified, conflicted, or approved by the system: Fig.14 As shown, it is the label attachment form 1, and the center area of the logo has no color, indicating that the occupied + fixed label + dynamic label + paired binding + paper label photo has been uploaded; Fig.15 , which is the tag addition form 2, the center area of the logo is yellow, indicating occupation + fixed tag + dynamic tag + pairing binding + paper tag photo + identification and matching resource information; Fig.16 , which is the label addition form 3, the center area of the logo is red, indicating occupation + fixed label + dynamic label + pairing binding + paper label photo + conflict with resource information; Fig.17 , which is the tag attachment form 4, which means that occupation + fixed tag + dynamic tag + pairing binding + paper tag electronic information approval is completed; Fig.18 , which is the label attachment form 5, which represents occupation + fixed label + dynamic label + pairing binding + paper label electronic information approval completed + splitter port.
[0055] The present invention uses the upper and lower buckles of the electronic label English letter E to form an identification body. The extension of the middle horizontal line of the English letter E reflects whether the optical port fixed label connected at both ends of the optical cable has been confirmed by the original route, that is, electronic authentication, and reflects whether the dynamic label on the connector pigtail connected at both ends of the jump fiber has been confirmed by the original route, that is, electronic authentication; the English letters AD are used in the central area to reflect the importance of the line connected to the optical port; the English letter Y is used in the central area to reflect whether the optical port is on the splitter port; the paper label frame diagram is used to display whether the paper label is photographed, and the color change is used to reflect whether the paper label is photographed, identified, identified, and approved by the system. The present invention uses different deformations of an identification to reflect all forms in the digitization of the optical port identification, and the identification is vivid, simple, and easy to understand, especially on the mobile phone APP end, it can be correctly identified when the screen is limited; in addition, it also includes the display of the photographing, identification, comparison, and identification status of the paper label when the traditional paper label is upgraded to an electronic label, which is convenient for line personnel to check and proofread the optical port resources on site, and fully meets all requirements in the digitization process of the optical port identification.

In order to verify and illustrate the technical effect adopted in the present method, this embodiment adopts a traditional technical solution to conduct comparative tests with the method of the present invention, and compares the test results by means of scientific demonstration to verify the real effect of the present method.
[0058] Prior art: simple right and wrong + dazzling color to achieve simple electronic tag reading or not; the method of the present invention: partition display + easy-to-understand icons + image changes + hollow filling; among them, Fig.19 Figures a and b in the middle respectively represent the experimental results of the traditional method and the method of the present invention. It can be seen from the figures that the existing APP icon is only used to display the reading status of the electronic tag; while the optical port identification form of the present invention covers various forms, including: optical port occupancy, fixed tag installation, fixed tag native routing electronic authentication, dynamic tag installation, dynamic tag native routing electronic authentication, fixed tag and dynamic tag pairing and binding; also includes: the importance of the business connected to the optical port, whether the optical port is a splitter port; also includes the following information reflected in the digital upgrade of the optical port: whether the paper label is photographed, identified, or approved by the system; achieving a full coverage of the connection form of the optical port.
[0059] The optical port logo design of the present invention overcomes the problem of recognition, that is, how to display in a limited area of the smart terminal display screen and allow the operator to clearly and accurately identify the meaning of the logo, without the need to remember the meanings of various forms, and it is clear at a glance.
