BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0051] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the accompanying drawings required for use in the description of the embodiments of the present invention will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the accompanying drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other accompanying drawings can be obtained based on these accompanying drawings without paying creative labor.

[0052] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a process of a cloud platform in one embodiment of the present invention;

[0053] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a computer device in one embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the cloud platform includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program computer-readable instructions stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor is configured to implement the following steps when executing the computer-readable instructions:

[0056] S10. Receive a status query request sent by a requesting robot, and query the life cycle status of the requesting robot according to the status query request.

[0057] Understandably, the requesting robot can send a status query request to the cloud platform to obtain its own life cycle status. The cloud platform refers to the platform that provides activation and registration for the robot. The life cycle status of the robot can be set according to actual needs. For example, there are four life cycle states, which are divided into four categories in chronological order: no data state - factory testing state - unactivated state (already in storage) - activated state (normal).

[0058] In one example, after the requesting robot is powered on, it sends a status query request to the cloud to determine the life cycle status of the requesting robot. The status query request includes the unique code (MAC address, i.e., physical address) of the requesting robot. The life cycle status of the requesting robot can be queried through the unique code.

[0059] S20. If the life cycle state of the requesting robot is an inactivated state, receive machine configuration information submitted by the requesting robot, wherein the machine configuration information includes communication information associated with the requesting robot and first location information of the location of the requesting robot.

[0060] Understandably, when the life cycle state of the requesting robot is in an inactive state, the requesting robot needs to be activated. At this time, the cloud platform can send a configuration page to the requesting robot and display it on the display screen of the requesting robot. The staff can submit the machine configuration information to the cloud platform through the configuration page. Here, the machine configuration information can be data obtained based on the input operation of the staff.

[0061] The machine configuration information includes communication information associated with the requesting robot and first location information of the location of the requesting robot. The communication information associated with the requesting robot may be a mobile phone number, an email address, etc. The location of the requesting robot may be a restaurant, a canteen, a hospital, a school, etc. The first location information may be the store information registered by the location on the cloud platform, such as a store ID. In some examples, the machine configuration information also includes some information related to the machine, such as the purpose of the machine, user purchase information, warranty period, etc.

[0062] S30: Generate an activation code for binding with the first location information according to the machine configuration information, and send the activation code to the communication address pointed to by the communication information.

[0063] Understandably, an activation code bound to the location of the requesting robot can be generated based on the machine configuration information. In some examples, the activation code can only be used once. After the activation code is generated, the activation code can be sent to the communication address pointed to by the communication information. For example, the communication information can be a mobile phone number, and the communication address can be a mobile terminal or other device bound to the above mobile phone number.

[0064] S40. Receive activation information submitted by the robot to be activated, where the activation information includes machine information of the robot to be activated, second location information of a location where the robot to be activated is located, and the activation code received by the robot to be activated.

[0065] Understandably, the robot to be activated and the requesting robot may be the same robot or different robots. After the staff receives the activation code through a mobile terminal or other device, the activation code may be input on the robot to be activated to generate activation code information. The robot to be activated may submit activation code information to the cloud platform. The activation code information includes the machine information of the robot to be activated, the second location information of the location where the robot to be activated is located, and the activation code received by the robot to be activated. Here, the machine information refers to the unique code (such as MAC address) of the robot to be activated. The location where the robot to be activated is located may be a restaurant, a restaurant, a hospital, a school, etc. The second location information may be the store information registered by the location on the cloud platform, such as a store ID. In some embodiments, the robot to be activated and the requesting robot are the same robot, and the first location information and the second location information are the same information. In other embodiments, the robot to be activated and the requesting robot are different robots. If the locations where the two are located are the same, the first location information and the second location information are the same information. If the locations where the two are located are different, the first location information and the second location information are different information.

[0066] It should be noted here that the requesting robot and the robot to be activated refer to robots in different states or stages, which does not necessarily mean that the requesting robot and the robot to be activated are two different robots.

[0067] For example, if a restaurant has a robot A, and uses robot A to request an activation code to activate robot A, then robot A is both the requesting robot and the robot to be activated. Robot A requests the platform to obtain the activation code a bound to the restaurant, and the cloud platform sends the activation code to the restaurant owner's mobile phone. The restaurant owner enters the activation code a into robot A to activate robot A.

[0068] For another example, a restaurant has two robots, Robot B and Robot C. Robot B is used to request an activation code to activate Robot C. Robot B is the requesting robot and Robot C is the robot to be activated. Robot B requests the platform to obtain the activation code b bound to the restaurant. The cloud platform sends the activation code to the restaurant owner's mobile phone. The restaurant owner enters the activation code b into Robot C to activate Robot C.

[0069] Another example is that a restaurant has two robots, Robot D and Robot E. Robot D and Robot E are used to request activation codes, and activation codes D and E, which are bound to the restaurant, are obtained respectively. Activation code D obtained by Robot D can be used to activate Robot E, and activation code e obtained by Robot E can also be used to activate Robot D.

[0070] S50: Verify the activation information. If the verification passes, send activation authentication information to the robot to be activated.

[0071] Understandably, after receiving the activation information, the cloud platform needs to verify the activation information separately. Specifically, it is necessary to verify the legitimacy of all information in the activation information to ensure that all information in the activation information is legal. In some examples, the life cycle state of the robot to be activated can be verified to ensure that the life cycle state of the robot to be activated is an unactivated state. If the life cycle state of the robot to be activated is an activated state or other states, the activation information verification fails.

[0072] If the activation information passes the verification, the activation authentication information can be sent to the robot to be activated to activate the robot. After the robot is activated, it can be used normally. At the same time, on the cloud platform, the life cycle status of the robot to be activated needs to be updated from the original unactivated state to the activated state.

[0073] In steps S10-S50, a status query request sent by the requesting robot is received, and the life cycle status of the requesting robot is queried according to the status query request, so as to determine whether it is necessary to enter the activation process according to the life cycle status of the requesting robot. If the life cycle status of the requesting robot is an unactivated state, the machine configuration information submitted by the requesting robot is received, and the machine configuration information includes the communication information associated with the requesting robot and the first location information of the location where the requesting robot is located, so as to submit the preparation data related to the activation. An activation code for binding with the first location information is generated according to the machine configuration information, and the activation code is sent to the communication address pointed to by the communication information, so that the staff can obtain the activation code. The activation information submitted by the robot to be activated is received, and the activation information includes the machine information of the robot to be activated, the second location information of the location where the robot to be activated is located, and the activation code received by the robot to be activated, so as to submit the data related to the activation. The activation information is verified, and if the verification is passed, the activation authentication information is sent to the robot to be activated to determine whether to activate the robot to be activated, and the activation of the robot to be activated is completed after the verification is passed. The cloud platform provided in this embodiment binds the activation code to the place, verifies the activation code by verifying the place information, and the activation codes of the same place can be mixed, thereby improving the flexibility of activation. The activation code is bound to the place to prevent the activation code from being stolen, thereby ensuring the security of robot activation.

[0074] Optionally, in step S50, that is, verifying the activation information, includes:

[0075] S501, acquiring the life cycle status of the robot to be activated according to the machine information of the robot to be activated, and verifying the life cycle status of the robot to be activated;

[0076] S502: If the life cycle status of the robot to be activated is not activated, verify whether the activation code is available;

[0077] S503: If the activation code is available, obtain the first location information bound to the activation code, and determine whether the second location information is consistent with the first location information. If so, the verification is successful.

[0078] Understandably, when activating the robot to be activated, it is necessary to first verify the life cycle status of the robot to be activated. Only when the life cycle status of the robot to be activated is not activated, will the activation code be verified. The activation code must be an activation code that has not yet been activated (it can be an activation code generated by the requesting robot). Only when the activation code is an activation code that has not yet been activated, can the location information of the activation code be further verified to be correct. On the cloud platform, the first location information bound to the activation code can be queried, and only when the second location information submitted by the robot to be activated is consistent with the first location information, can it be determined that the activation information has passed the verification. Otherwise, the activation information has not passed the verification.

[0079] It should be noted here that the first location information and the second location information refer to location information in different states or stages, and do not necessarily represent different information.

[0080] For example, if robot A in restaurant A requests activation code a to activate robot A, the first location information and the second location information are the same information, and robot A can be activated. For another example, if robot A in restaurant A requests activation code a to activate robot B in restaurant B, the first location information and the second location information are the location information of restaurant A, and the second location information is the location information of restaurant B. In this case, the first location information and the second location information are different, and robot B cannot be activated.

[0081] Optionally, the activation information also includes IP information;

[0082] Step S501, i.e., obtaining the life cycle state of the robot to be activated according to the machine information of the robot to be activated, includes:

[0083] S5011, determining whether the IP information is within a legal range;

[0084] S5012: If the IP information is within a legal range, obtaining the life cycle status of the robot to be activated according to the machine information of the robot to be activated;

[0085] S5013: If the IP information is outside the legal range, it is determined that the activation information verification has failed.

[0086] Understandably, the legal range can be set according to actual needs. For example, the legal range can be defined as a legal IP address segment. Only when the IP information is within the IP address segment, the IP information is considered to be within the legal range. If the IP information is not within the IP address segment, the activation process of the robot to be activated is terminated. By limiting the legal range, it is possible to prevent illegal IP segments from using activation codes to launch network attacks on the cloud platform.

[0087] After confirming that the IP information is within the legal range, it is necessary to continue to check whether the life cycle status of the robot to be activated is inactive. At this time, the life cycle status of the robot to be activated can be queried through the machine information (unique code) in the activation information.

[0088] Optionally, the machine configuration information also includes machine usage, customer purchase information, and warranty period;

[0089] Step S30, i.e., generating an activation code for binding with the first location information according to the machine configuration information, and sending the activation code to the communication address pointed to by the communication information, comprises:

[0090] S301, generating the activation code according to at least one of the purpose of the machine, the customer purchase information, the warranty period, and the first location information;

[0091] S302: Send the activation code and the communication information to a third-party platform, so that the activation code is sent to the communication address pointed to by the communication information through the third-party platform.

[0092] Understandably, the machine configuration information can be processed according to certain coding rules to generate an activation code. The coding rules can be set according to actual needs. The communication information can refer to a mobile phone number or other communication methods, such as an email address. The third-party platform refers to an outbound platform that is compatible with the communication information. If the communication information is a mobile phone number, the third-party platform is a text message platform or a voice call platform; if the communication information is an email address, the third-party platform is an official email address bound to the cloud. The communication address pointed to by the communication information can be a personal email address or a personal mobile phone. The sending method includes but is not limited to short messages, emails, and voice calls.

[0093] Each module in the above cloud platform can be implemented in whole or in part by software, hardware, or a combination thereof. Each module can be embedded in or independent of a processor in a computer device in the form of hardware, or can be stored in a memory in a computer device in the form of software, so that the processor can call and execute the operations corresponding to each module above.

[0094] In one embodiment, a robot is provided, the robot being a requesting robot for requesting an activation code, the requesting robot comprising a memory, a processor, and computer-readable instructions stored in the memory and executable on the processor, the processor being configured to implement the following steps when executing the computer-readable instructions:

[0095] S101, executing a self-checking program and obtaining its own unique code, and generating a status query request including the unique code;

[0096] S102, sending the status query request to the cloud platform, so that the cloud platform queries the life cycle status of the requesting robot according to the status query request;

[0097] S103. If the life cycle status is an unactivated state, submit machine configuration information to the cloud platform, wherein the machine configuration information includes communication information associated with the requesting robot and first location information of the location where the requesting robot is located, so that the cloud platform generates an activation code for binding to the first location information according to the machine configuration information, and sends the activation code to the communication address pointed to by the communication information.

[0098] Understandably, the self-check program is an inspection program after the requesting robot is turned on, which is used to determine the current life cycle status of the requesting robot. The unique code is the MAC address of the requesting robot. After the requesting robot is turned on, it executes the self-check program, generates a status query request containing a unique code, and sends the status query request to the cloud platform to query the life cycle status of the requesting robot on the cloud platform according to the unique code. If the life cycle status of the requesting robot is activated, the requesting robot enters a normal working state. If the life cycle status of the requesting robot is not activated, the display screen of the requesting robot will display the configuration page for activation. The staff can submit the machine configuration information to the cloud platform through the configuration page. Here, the machine configuration information can be data obtained based on the input operation of the staff.
