[0036] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described hereinafter, and it should be noted that, in the specific description of these embodiments, the present specification cannot describe all the features of the actual embodiments in detail for the sake of brevity. It should be understood that, in the actual implementation of any one embodiment, as in the process of any engineering project or design project, various specific decisions must be made in order to achieve the specific goals of the developers, to meet the system-related or business-related constraints, and these decisions will change from one embodiment to another. In addition, it should be understood that, although the efforts made in this development process can be complex and lengthy, some design, manufacturing or production changes made on the basis of the technical content disclosed in the present disclosure by those of ordinary skill in the art related to the content of the present disclosure are only routine technical means and should not be understood as insufficient disclosure of the present disclosure.
[0037] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present disclosure should be understood as the usual meaning understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The terms "first", "second" and the like used in the present disclosure do not represent any order, number or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. The terms "one" or "a" and the like do not represent a quantity limitation, but represent the existence of at least one. The terms "including", "containing" and the like mean that the elements or objects appearing before "including" or "containing" cover the elements or objects listed after "including" or "containing" and their equivalent elements, and do not exclude other elements or objects. The terms "connected" or "connected" and the like are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, and are not limited to direct or indirect connections.
[0038] In the prior art, when a device with WiFi function needs to quickly transmit data, it often transmits data through a wireless soft AP (Soft-AP, a wireless product based on a standard wireless card and simulating the signal switching and routing function of a traditional wireless access point (AP) through a driver program), a peer-to-peer network (Peer to Peer, P2P, also known as a workgroup), or a wireless mesh network (Mesh) networking mode.
[0039] When data transmission is performed in the softap or p2p networking mode, there are authentication (Auth) and association processes, thereby increasing the connection burden. When data transmission is performed in the Mesh networking mode, the node management function is increased, but at the same time, the system resource overhead is also increased, and the addition and deletion of intermediate nodes have an impact on the entire Mesh network architecture.
[0040] It can be seen that, regardless of which networking mode is used for data transmission, the device to be connected needs to be authenticated first and then the networking connection is established, thereby causing a networking delay response and increasing the system management cost.
[0041] To solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a networking method applied to a first device under a WiFi network. As shown in Figure 1 The networking method can include:
[0042] Step S110, in response to receiving a first beacon, determining a second device to be connected.
[0043] The first device is a device capable of communicating with other devices based on a target point-to-point protocol. At least one point-to-point group is allowed to exist under the WiFi network. The point-to-point group is a network group composed of multiple devices based on the point-to-point protocol, and different point-to-point groups correspond to different point-to-point protocols. The first device and the second device can be any device capable of communicating and connecting based on the WiFi network, such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a head-mounted playback device, or a smart home, etc.
[0044] In response to receiving the first beacon, it is indicated that there is a device capable of communicating and interacting with the first device based on the target point-to-point protocol. Therefore, to establish a networking connection with the device, the sending end sending the first beacon is determined through the received first beacon, and the sending end is taken as the second device to be connected. The first beacon is transmitted based on the target point-to-point protocol, and the first beacon includes first manufacturer information. Through the first manufacturer information in the first beacon, the first device can quickly identify which manufacturer provides the device under the WiFi network, and then it can quickly determine whether the device is a legal device, thereby helping to ensure the security of the network connection.
[0045] In step S120, the first device communicates with the second device based on the first manufacturer information to obtain device information of the second device.
[0046] The first manufacturer information can ensure the security of the network connection, and can determine that the second device is a legal device capable of communicating with the first device based on the target point-to-point protocol. Thus, the first device communicates with the second device to obtain the device information of the second device, so as to ensure the security of the network connection when establishing the networking connection subsequently. The device information of the second device can include, but is not limited to, a device unique identifier (ID), a media access control (MAC) address, an Internet Protocol (IP) address, a connection state, and the like of the second device.
[0047] By obtaining the device information of the second device, the first device can better understand the characteristics of the second device, so as to provide more optimized services or make appropriate configuration adjustments to improve the response performance of the networking connection.
[0048] In step S130, the first management information of the device corresponding to the target point-to-point protocol is updated based on the device information of the second device, and the networking connection between the first device and the second device is completed.
[0049] The first management information includes device information of a plurality of devices establishing a networking relationship based on the target point-to-point protocol. By the first management information, the plurality of devices involved in the networking topology corresponding to the target point-to-point protocol can be determined.
[0050] The obtained device information of the second device is supplemented into the first management information to update the first management information, so that it is clear that the second device is connected to the first device under the network corresponding to the target point-to-point protocol, and the second device becomes one of the nodes in the networking topology corresponding to the target point-to-point protocol, thereby completing the construction of the point-to-point networking.
[0051] According to the networking method provided by the present disclosure, under the WiFi network, the first beacon transmitted based on the target point-to-point protocol is communicated, which can ensure that the two devices communicating based on the first beacon are both capable of communicating based on the target point-to-point protocol, thereby improving the overall security of the network. The first device establishes the networking connection by using the first manufacturer information in the first beacon, which can greatly simplify the connection process between devices and improve the efficiency of the networking connection. Furthermore, by updating the first management information of the device corresponding to the target point-to-point protocol based on the device information of the second device, the automatic network management can be realized, which is helpful to enhance the expansibility of the network.
[0052] In some optional application scenarios, when networking is performed by the networking method provided in the disclosure, the networking topology can be a one-to-one connection relationship as shown in Figure 2 or a many-to-many connection relationship as shown in Figure 3 .
[0053] In some embodiments, the above step S120 can include:
[0054] Step a1, based on the first manufacturer information, communicating with the second device to determine the execution device of networking;
[0055] Step a2, in response to the execution device being the first device, sending the first start parameter for networking to the second device, so that the second device establishes a networking connection with the first device based on the first start parameter, and obtains the device information of the second device.
[0056] Specifically, according to the first manufacturer information, the first device can determine the manufacturer information corresponding to the second device, and then evaluate whether the two devices can communicate through the first manufacturer information. The first manufacturer information can include but is not limited to manufacturer database, manufacturer authentication certificate and the like.
[0057] When the first device determines that it can communicate with the second device, it negotiates with the second device to determine the execution device of networking. The execution device can be understood as the party responsible for establishing and maintaining the connection. The negotiation process can include but is not limited to: the first device determines the first start parameter that the two devices can perform data transmission based on the communication connection between the first device and the second device, and the network capabilities and performance of the two devices, to determine the most suitable role to execute. The first start parameter can include but is not limited to working channel (a specific frequency channel used for communication), working bandwidth, working mode, and pre-shared key and the like.
[0058] If it is determined in the negotiation process that the first device is the execution device, it indicates that the network capabilities and performance of the first device are relatively more stable, and then the first device sends the first start parameter that can be used for networking connection to the second device, so that the second device can configure according to the first start parameter, and after the configuration is completed, the second device establishes a networking connection with the first device through the first start parameter, and informs the first device of the device information of the second device, so that the first device can update the first management information according to the obtained device information of the second device. The first start parameter can include but is not limited to the working channel (a specific frequency channel used for communication) that the second device can establish a networking connection with the first device, the working bandwidth, the working mode, and the pre-shared key and the like.
[0059] In some embodiments, the step S120 can further include:
[0060] Step a3, in response to the execution device being the second device, receiving the first startup parameter sent by the second device;
[0061] Step a4, establishing a networking connection with the first device based on the first startup parameter, and obtaining device information of the second device.
[0062] Specifically, in response to the execution device being the second device, the network capability and performance of the second device are relatively more stable, and then the second device sends the first startup parameter that can be used for networking connection to the first device, and the first device is configured according to the received first startup parameter, and after the configuration is completed, the first device establishes a networking connection with the second device by running the first startup parameter. After the first device and the second device complete the networking connection, the device information of the second device is obtained to supplement the device information of the second device to the first management information, update the first management information, so as to facilitate subsequent targeted management of multiple devices based on the target point-to-point protocol to establish a networking relationship, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of network management.
[0063] In some embodiments, the step S130 can include:
[0064] Step b1, adding the device information of the second device to the first management information of the target point-to-point protocol corresponding device, and updating the first management information;
[0065] Step b2, in response to the updated first management information not changing within a continuous time length, determining that the networking connection is completed.
[0066] Specifically, the device information of the second device is added to the first management information of the target point-to-point protocol corresponding device, and the first management information is updated, so that the updated first management information includes the device information of the newly added second device.
[0067] Since the first device may also establish a networking connection with other devices in the process of establishing a networking connection with the second device, or other devices in the first management information establish a new networking connection, in order to determine whether the topology relationship of the networking in which the first device is located is stable or whether it is still in the updating state, the updating state of the first management information is determined.
[0068] The continuous time length can be understood as the maximum waiting time length for determining that the first management information stops updating. In response to the updated first management information not changing within the continuous time length, it is indicated that the first management information has stopped updating, and the topology relationship of the networking in which the first device is located has been stable, and then it can be determined that the networking connection has been completed.
[0069] In some embodiments, the first management information corresponds to a device further comprising other devices, and the step S130 can further comprise: synchronizing the updated first management information to the other devices to inform the networking connection relationship between the first device and the second device. According to the first management information, it can be determined that the device corresponding to the first management information further comprises other devices in addition to the first device, that is, the topology relationship of the networking to which the first device belongs further comprises other devices. Therefore, in order to enable the other devices to explicitly know that a new node (the second device) is added in the networking to which the other devices belong, the updated first management information is synchronized to the other devices to inform the other devices of the networking connection relationship between the first device and the second device, so that the other devices can know the latest layout of the network and the connection relationship between the devices based on the obtained updated first management information, and the topology structure of the entire network is consistent, thereby helping to avoid communication errors and conflicts and ensuring the stability of network communication.
[0070] In some embodiments, the networking method can further comprise the following steps:
[0071] Step c1, constructing a second beacon;
[0072] Step c2, sending the second beacon in a broadcast manner based on a target point-to-point protocol to establish a networking connection with a device capable of receiving the second beacon.
[0073] Specifically, in order to enable the first device to continue to establish a networking connection with other devices under the WiFi network, a second beacon is constructed to inform the network information of the networking to which the first device belongs.
[0074] The second beacon is sent in a broadcast manner based on the target point-to-point protocol, which can ensure that the devices capable of receiving the second beacon are all devices capable of communicating with the first device based on the target point-to-point protocol, thereby ensuring the security of network communication and avoiding misconnection. Moreover, the second beacon is sent in a broadcast manner, which can ensure that the second beacon can cover all devices within the coverage range of the WiFi network signal, thereby helping to ensure that the devices capable of establishing a networking connection with the first device can all receive the second beacon, avoiding the occurrence of missed connection, and enabling the devices capable of receiving the second beacon to establish a networking connection with the first device.
[0075] In some embodiments, the second beacon comprises second vendor information, the second vendor information and the first vendor information both comprise an identifier of a target point-to-point protocol, and the identifier is hidden data. The second vendor information can be understood as information that facilitates other devices to quickly identify which vendor provides the first device in the WiFi network, so as to evaluate whether the first device can communicate with it. By placing the target point-to-point protocol in the first vendor information and the second vendor information, it can be ensured that when the two communicate and interact, they are based on the target point-to-point protocol communication, which can effectively avoid the situation of misconnection and ensure the security of network communication. Moreover, by setting the identifier as hidden data, it can effectively prevent unauthorized devices or users from easily identifying the network name through conventional means, which helps to increase the security of the network and makes potential intruders may not immediately discover the existence of the network. In some application scenarios, the identifier of the target point-to-point protocol can be understood as referring to the SSID (Service Set Identifier, a wireless network name used to identify the identity of the network), which can be set as hidden data in any of the following ways: setting the field where the SSID is located to zero or using encryption / encoding technology to hide, so as to ensure the invisibility of the SSID.
[0076] In some optional application scenarios, as shown in Figure 4 The interaction process in which the first device and the second device establish a networking connection can be as follows:
[0077] The first device receives the first beacon sent by the second device.
[0078] The first device communicates and interacts with the second device based on the first vendor information in the first beacon, and determines the execution device of networking.
[0079] In the case where the execution device is the first device, the first device sends the first start parameter for networking to the second device; the second device establishes a networking connection with the first device based on the first start parameter, and sends the device information of the second device.
[0080] Or, in the case where the execution device is the second device, the second device sends the first start parameter and the device information of the second device to the first device; the first device establishes a networking connection with the second device based on the first start parameter, and obtains the device information of the second device.
[0081] Based on the device information of the second device, the first management information of the device corresponding to the target point-to-point protocol is updated, and the networking connection with the second device is completed.
[0082] Through the networking method provided by the present disclosure, without the need for a relay node, fast communication can be achieved through point-to-point networking, and the connection efficiency of networking is improved.
[0083] Based on the same inventive concept, the disclosure also provides a networking method applied to a first device under a WiFi network. As shown in the figure, the networking method can include: Figure 5
[0084] In step S210, a second beacon is sent in a broadcast manner based on a target point-to-point protocol.
[0085] The second beacon is constructed based on first management information of a device corresponding to the target point-to-point protocol, and the second beacon includes second vendor information.
[0086] The second beacon is sent in a broadcast manner based on the target point-to-point protocol, which can ensure that the devices that can receive the second beacon are devices that can communicate with the first device based on the target point-to-point protocol, thereby ensuring the security of network communication and avoiding misconnection. Moreover, the second beacon is sent in a broadcast manner, which can ensure that the second beacon can cover all devices within the coverage range of the WiFi network signal, thereby helping to ensure that the devices that can establish a networking connection with the first device can receive the second beacon, avoiding the situation of missing connection, and enabling the devices that receive the second beacon to establish a networking connection with the first device.
[0087] In step S220, based on the second vendor information, the third device is communicated and interacted with to obtain device information of the third device.
[0088] The third device is a device that receives the second beacon and responds. When it is determined that the third device can receive the second beacon and respond, it indicates that the third device can communicate and interact with the first device based on the target point-to-point protocol, and the third device is a legal device, and then the third device is communicated and interacted with to obtain the device information of the third device, so as to ensure the security of network connection when establishing a networking connection later.
[0089] In step S230, based on the device information of the third device, the first management information is updated, and the networking connection with the third device is completed.
[0090] The first management information includes device information of a plurality of devices establishing a networking relationship based on the target point-to-point protocol. Through the first management information, a plurality of devices involved in the networking topology corresponding to the target point-to-point protocol can be determined.
[0091] The obtained device information of the third device is supplemented into the first management information to update the first management information, which explicitly indicates that the third device is connected with the first device under the network corresponding to the target point-to-point protocol, and the third device becomes one of the nodes in the networking topology corresponding to the target point-to-point protocol, thereby completing the construction of the point-to-point networking.
[0092] According to the networking method provided in the present disclosure, under the WiFi network, the first device can determine the third device capable of establishing a communication connection with the first device based on the target point-to-point protocol by sending the second beacon in a broadcast manner, and then establish a networking connection with the third device, which can not only improve the overall security of the network, but also greatly simplify the connection process between devices and improve the networking connection efficiency, so that the first management information of the target point-to-point protocol can be updated through the device information of the third device, and the automatic network management can be realized, which is helpful to enhance the expansibility of the network.
[0093] In some embodiments, the step S220 can include:
[0094] Step d1, communicating with the third device based on the second manufacturer information to determine the execution device of the networking;
[0095] Step d2, in response to the execution device being the first device, sending the second start parameter of the target point-to-point connection to the third device, so that the third device establishes a networking connection with the first device based on the second start parameter, and obtains the device information of the third device.
[0096] Specifically, when the first device determines that it can communicate with the third device, the first device negotiates with the third device to determine the execution device of the networking.
[0097] If it is determined in the negotiation process that the first device is the execution device, it indicates that the network capability and performance of the first device are relatively more stable, and then the first device sends the second start parameter that can be used for networking connection to the second device, so that the third device can perform related configuration according to the second start parameter, and after the configuration is completed, the third device establishes a networking connection with the first device by running the second start parameter, and informs the first device of the device information of the third device, so that the first device can update the first management information according to the obtained device information of the third device. The second start parameter can include but is not limited to a working channel (Working Channel, a specific frequency channel used for communication), a working bandwidth, a working mode, and a pre-shared key, etc. that the third device can establish a networking connection with the first device.
[0098] In some other embodiments, the step S220 can also include:
[0099] Step d3, in response to the execution device being the third device, receiving the second start parameter sent by the third device;
[0100] Step d4, establishing a networking connection with the first device based on the second start parameter, and obtaining the device information of the third device.
[0101] Specifically, in response to the executing device being the third device, the network capability and performance of the third device are relatively more stable, and then the second start parameter that can be used for the network connection is sent to the first device by the third device, the first device is configured according to the received second start parameter, and after the configuration is completed, the network connection is established with the third device by running the first start parameter. After the first device and the third device complete the network connection, the device information of the third device is obtained to supplement the device information of the third device into the first management information, and the first management information is updated, so that subsequent management of multiple devices based on the target point-to-point protocol to establish a network connection relationship can be targeted, and the efficiency and accuracy of network management are improved.
[0102] In some embodiments, the above step S230 can include:
[0103] Step e1, adding the device information of the third device into the first management information to update the first management information;
[0104] Step e2, in response to the updated first management information not changing within a continuous time length, determining that the network connection is completed.
[0105] Specifically, the third device information is added to the first management information of the target point-to-point protocol corresponding device to update the first management information, so that the updated first management information includes the device information of the newly added third device.
[0106] Since the first device may also establish a network connection with other devices in the process of establishing a network connection with the third device, or other devices in the first management information establish a new network connection, in order to determine whether the topology relationship of the network where the first device is located is stable or still in the updating state, the updating state of the first management information is determined. In response to the updated first management information not changing within a continuous time length, it is indicated that the first management information has stopped updating, and the topology relationship of the network where the first device is located has been stable, and then it can be determined that the network connection has been completed.
[0107] In other embodiments, the first management information corresponds to other devices, and the above step S230 can further include: synchronizing the updated first management information to the other devices to inform the network connection relationship between the first device and the third device, so that the other devices can understand the latest layout of the network and the connection relationship between the devices based on the obtained updated first management information, and ensure that the topology structure of the entire network is consistent, thereby helping to avoid communication errors and conflicts and ensuring the stability of network communication.
[0108] In some embodiments, the networking method can further include: based on the second vendor information, communicating with a fourth device to join a networking connection of a point-to-point protocol corresponding to the fourth device based on the device information of the first device, and completing the networking connection. The fourth device is another device that receives the second beacon and responds, and the point-to-point protocol corresponding to the fourth device is compatible with the target point-to-point protocol. That is, the first device can communicate with the fourth device based on the second vendor information to request to establish a networking relationship with the fourth device, join the networking connection of the point-to-point protocol corresponding to the fourth device, so that the first device can become one of the nodes in the networking topology of the point-to-point protocol corresponding to the fourth device, and complete the networking connection.
[0109] In this way, the first device can access other devices to the networking topology relationship in which the first device is located, or join the networking topology relationship in which other devices are located, so that the establishment of the networking relationship is more flexible, which helps to enhance the expansibility of the network.
[0110] In some embodiments, the second vendor information includes an identifier of the target point-to-point protocol, and the identifier is hidden data, which can effectively prevent unauthorized devices or users from easily identifying the network name through conventional means, thereby helping to increase the security of the network, so that potential intruders may not immediately discover the existence of the network.
[0111] In some optional application scenarios, as shown in Figure 6 The interaction process of the first device and the third device for establishing the networking connection can be as follows:
[0112] The first device sends the second beacon in a broadcast manner based on the target point-to-point protocol.
[0113] The third device responds to the received second beacon, communicates with the first device based on the second vendor information in the second beacon, and determines the execution device of the networking.
[0114] In the case where the execution device is the first device, the first device sends the second start parameter for networking to the third device; the third device establishes the networking connection with the first device based on the second start parameter, and sends the device information of the third device.
[0115] Or, in the case where the execution device is the third device, the third device sends the second start parameter and the device information of the third device to the first device; the first device establishes the networking connection with the third device based on the second start parameter, and obtains the device information of the third device.
[0116] Based on the device information of the third device, the first management information of the device corresponding to the target point-to-point protocol is updated, and the networking connection with the third device is completed.
[0117] Through the networking method provided by the present disclosure, without a relay node, fast communication can be achieved in a point-to-point networking manner, and the connection efficiency of networking is improved.
[0118] In some optional application scenarios, if the number of third devices is one, the communication interaction diagram of establishing the networking connection is as shown in Figure 7 In some optional application scenarios, if the number of third devices is one, the communication interaction diagram of establishing the networking connection is as shown in
[0119] In some optional application scenarios, if the number of third devices is one, the communication interaction diagram of establishing the networking connection is as shown in Figure 8 In some optional application scenarios, if the number of third devices is one, the communication interaction diagram of establishing the networking connection is as shown in
