[0041] The touch control structure and display device of the present invention will be described in more detail below in conjunction with schematic diagrams, wherein preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can modify the present invention described herein while still achieving the beneficial effects of the present invention. Therefore, the following description should be understood as being widely known to those skilled in the art, and not as a limitation of the present invention.

[0042] The present invention is described in more detail in the following paragraphs by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description and claims. It should be noted that the drawings are in very simplified form and in non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clearly assist in illustrating the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0043] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a fiber optic collection gun 101, comprising:

[0044] An RFID module, a first communication module and a second communication module, wherein the RFID module is used to read the RFID information according to the required mode and transmit the read information to the management terminal through the first communication module; the second communication module transmits visible light signals, transmits and receives invisible light signals, and transmits the invisible light signals to the management terminal.

[0045] In one embodiment, the RFID module includes a selection module and a sensing module, and the selection module can realize single reading and continuous reading of the sensing module.

[0046] Specifically, for example, the selection module may be provided with control buttons, and different reading modes may be triggered according to different buttons pressed.

[0047] In a feasible hardware design, an "RFID key" may be provided. When the user places the antenna sensing head of the fiber optic acquisition gun close to the tag position and presses the "RFID key", the fiber optic acquisition gun can read the RFID information and the buzzer emits a "beep" prompt sound.

[0048] In a feasible hardware design, the user can press and hold the "RFID key" for a set time, for example, more than 3 seconds. At this time, the buzzer sounds a prompt sound, indicating that the acquisition gun has entered the tag continuous reading mode. The user only needs to put the sensing antenna of the acquisition gun close to the tag to read it, and no longer needs to manually press the "RFID key" for each tag, which is convenient and quick to read.

[0049] When the fiber optic acquisition gun is in the continuous tag reading mode, you can also long press the "RFID key" to set the time. After the buzzer sounds a prompt sound, it means that the fiber optic acquisition gun enters the single tag reading mode.

[0050] Furthermore, it also includes a skip module, which provides empty label information to be transmitted to the first communication module. The skip module is mainly used when there is no label.

[0051] In the corresponding hardware design, a buzzer can also be set up so that the buzzer emits a prompt sound when the module action is skipped.

[0052] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 As shown, the second communication module includes a visible light transmitter, an invisible light transmitter, and an invisible light receiver. The visible light transmitter, the invisible light transmitter, and the invisible light receiver are connected to the collection end after being signal coupled by a coupler.

[0053] The visible light emitter can emit light of various colors such as red light, green light, blue light, etc. In one embodiment of the present invention, the light with a wavelength of 650 nm is set. It is understandable that those skilled in the art can set the wavelength of visible light according to actual needs.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, the wavelength of the invisible light is 1550 nm. It should also be understood that those skilled in the art can set the wavelength of the invisible light according to actual needs.

[0055] Specifically, the first communication module is, for example, a Bluetooth module to facilitate interaction with a management terminal.

[0056] In addition, the first communication module may also be another type of near field communication module.

[0057] Specifically, the management terminal includes but is not limited to mobile phones, tablets, computers, smart bracelets and other mobile communication devices.

[0058] In addition, the optical fiber collection gun may also include a power module, a lighting module, etc. This part is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided an optical fiber core termination system, comprising the optical fiber collection gun, a management terminal, and a server. The optical fiber collection gun sends information and transmits the collected information to the management terminal, and the management terminal exchanges information with the server.

[0060] In addition, the present invention also provides a method for checking the termination of an optical fiber core. Figure 4 ,include:

[0061] S1, the first optical fiber acquisition gun 101 is connected to the first management terminal 102 to achieve data communication between the two; the second optical fiber acquisition gun 201 is connected to the second management terminal 202 to achieve data communication between the two;

[0062] In one embodiment, the communication between the optical fiber collection gun and the management terminal can be realized through Bluetooth. Specifically, the management terminal here can be a mobile phone.

[0063] S2, the first optical fiber acquisition gun 101 scans the first RFID tag 1031 and the first optical fiber end 1032 corresponding to the first RFID tag 1031, and inputs visible light and invisible light to the first optical fiber end 1032;

[0064] For example, the input visible light is red light for better observation. The invisible light transmits the first RFID information read by the first optical fiber collection gun and the verification information generated by a certain algorithm.

[0065] S3, observing the lit optical fiber second end 2032, scanning the optical fiber second end 2032 and the second RFID tag 2031 corresponding to the optical fiber second end 2032 through the second optical fiber collection gun 201, receiving the invisible light information sent by the first optical fiber collection gun 101 and sending the invisible light information to the first optical fiber collection gun 101 at the same time;

[0066] Therefore, the present invention can accurately and timely confirm by observing the light emitted by the second end 2032 of the optical fiber, thereby avoiding selection errors and saving time.

[0067] S4, the first management terminal 102 receives the first RFID tag information and invisible light information transmitted by the first optical fiber collection gun 101, and the second management terminal 202 receives the second RFID tag information and invisible light information transmitted by the second optical fiber collection gun 201;

[0068] S5. The first management terminal 102 and the second management terminal 202 send the received information to the server 300 for verification;

[0069] S6. After verifying the data, the server 300 synchronizes the verified information to the first management terminal 102 and the second management terminal 202.

[0070] In one embodiment, the server 300 is a cloud server.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present invention, there may be a first end and its device 100 and a second end and its device 200 located at different locations respectively. The present invention uses a first optical fiber acquisition gun 101 to send visible light and invisible light signals to one end of the optical fiber of the first end and its device 100 to the other end of the optical fiber located at the second end and its device 200, and then sends the electronic tag information of both ends of the optical fiber to the server through a mobile terminal for synchronization.

[0072] like Figure 4 As shown, the optical fiber ends 103, 203 may be integrated with multiple optical fibers. According to the needs, only one pair of optical fiber collection guns may be used for verification, or multiple pairs of optical fiber collection guns may be used for verification.

[0073] The method of the present invention can conveniently find the other end of the optical fiber by emitting visible light, and at the same time realize the information transmission of the RFID electronic tags at both ends of the optical fiber by sending invisible light, and can realize data synchronization after passing through the server through the optical fiber collection gun. Compared with the existing technology, it not only greatly improves the efficiency, but also realizes intelligence.

[0074] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
