[0040] In this embodiment, after the first box body 1 establishes a network connection with the external environment wireless router 5, it will act as a main box and interact with the second box body 2 through its own hotspot to perform network configuration data of the external environment wireless router 5, so that the second box body 2 completes the wireless connection with the external environment wireless router 5.

[0041] In one embodiment, a plurality of second boxes 2 are provided. The first box 1 can simultaneously interact with the plurality of second boxes 2 for network configuration data of the external environment wireless router 5 .

[0042] In one embodiment, a third box body 3 is further included, in which a microprocessor 3 is disposed, and a lamp body 31 and a wireless transceiver module 3 32 are electrically connected to the microprocessor 3; the wireless transceiver module 2 22 is wirelessly connected to the wireless transceiver module 3 32 as a hotspot AP, and the wireless transceiver module 3 32 is wirelessly connected to the external environment wireless router 5 through the wireless transceiver module 2 22, so that the control terminal 4 remotely controls the lamp body 1 11, the lamp body 2 21 and the lamp body 3 31 through the external environment wireless router 5.

[0046] Among them, the built-in microprocessor of all boxes is a low-power 32-bit CPU, equipped with a wireless transceiver module with a built-in TCP / IP protocol stack, supporting 802.11b / g / n protocol (2.4GHz), and can realize the function of WiFi router.

[0047] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the switch button, the brightness adjustment button and the flash control button are mechanical buttons or touch buttons. When the smart mobile terminal has a touch screen, a touch button form may be provided.

[0048] The present invention provides a specific control method of an embodiment of an intelligent network control storage box, comprising the following steps:

[0049] S1, establish a password-free WiFi hotspot for the first box body 1, and control the terminal 4 to wirelessly send external environment wireless network configuration data to the first box body 1 through the password-free WiFi hotspot;

[0050] In S1, the control terminal 4 can wirelessly send external environment wireless network configuration data to the gateway of the first box body 1 in UDP mode through the non-password WiFi hotspot. The external environment wireless network configuration data includes the connection account and password of the external environment wireless network. After the first box body 1 turns on the internal network WiFi hotspot, the connection account of the external environment wireless network is hidden, and the second box body 2 automatically searches for and connects to the hidden connection account of the external environment wireless network.

[0051] See also Figure 2 The initial state of the wireless transceiver module 12 of the first box body 1 is the unconfigured network state. It has its own Wi-Fi hotspot SupBro_Set, that is, a password-free WiFi hotspot, and searches for hidden configuration networks contained in other box body hotspots.

[0052] See also Figure 2 , the mobile phone connects to the password-free WiFi hotspot of the first box body 1, named SupBro_Set, fills in the WiFi name and password of the external environment network, and sends the configuration data to the first box body 1.

[0053] S2. The first box body 1 establishes a wireless connection with the external wireless network using the external wireless network configuration data, and automatically closes the password-free WiFi hotspot.

[0054] See also Figure 3 After the first box 1 is successfully connected to the network, it will serve as the main box, close its own password-free WiFi hotspot SupBro_Set, and enter step S3 to open the hidden configuration network to receive WiFi connections from other new boxes.

[0055] S3, the first box body 1 turns on the internal network WiFi hotspot, the second box body 2 automatically searches and establishes a wireless connection with the internal network WiFi hotspot, and obtains the external environment wireless network configuration data from the first box body 1.

[0056] In S3, the second box body 2 can automatically search and send a connection request to the internal network WiFi hotspot gateway of the first box body 1; the first box body 1 receives the connection request and sends UDP data, and the second box body 2 passively receives UDP data to obtain the external environment wireless network configuration data. The configuration data includes the connection account and password.

[0057] S4, the second box body 2 returns to S2 as the first box body 1, the third box body 3 automatically searches and establishes a wireless connection with the internal network WiFi hotspot, and obtains the external environment wireless network configuration data from the first box body 1, until all boxes are wirelessly connected to the external environment wireless network. In this step, the second box body 2 acts as a master box to wirelessly connect to other new boxes, such as the third box body, and sends the external environment wireless network configuration data.

[0058] S5. The control terminal 4 establishes a wireless connection with the external environment wireless network, and controls all lamps in the box through the external environment wireless network.

[0059] In S5, the control terminal 4 sends the lamp control signal to all the boxes in a unified manner through the external environment wireless network using TCP or UDP data broadcasting.

[0060] In the above steps, when each box body itself acts as a WiFi hotspot, its function is equivalent to that of a router. If the connection account SSID of the external environment wireless network is made public in step S1, other external devices can also connect by searching for the WiFi account. In the embodiment of the present invention, after the first box body is successfully networked with the external environment wireless network, the first box body, as a router, closes the public connection account SSID of the external environment wireless network, opens a new SSID of another account, and also hides the external broadcast SSID, named "internal network". In this way, only when the boxes actively search for this hidden SSID name connection can they safely access and conduct UDP communication in the local area network. The above steps realize the automatic intranet broadcast of the external environment wireless network account and password between multiple boxes, realize automatic network configuration, and the intelligent terminal uniformly broadcasts to multiple boxes that have completed network configuration with the external environment wireless network to control the lighting effects of the lamps in multiple boxes.

[0061] The following are the specific steps for users to use:

[0062] S101. The user fills in the WiFi SSID name and password of the external wireless network on the mobile phone APP.

[0063] S102, the user's mobile phone APP connects to the password-free WiFi hotspot "SupBro_Set" temporarily configured by the first box body, without a password. After the connection is successful, click to send configuration data (SSID name and password), and the APP will use UDP to send the configuration data (SSID name and password) to the gateway of the first box body.

[0064] S103, after receiving the configuration data, the first box body turns on the WiFi AP client mode, connects to the external environment wireless network according to the received SSID and password, and after success, the temporarily configured password-free WiFi hotspot "SupBro_Set" is automatically disconnected, and enters the intelligent configuration mode, turns on the automatically configured hotspot, that is, the internal network WiFi hotspot, and the SSID is hidden.

[0065] S104, when the second box (new box) is powered on, it will automatically search for and connect to the hidden SSID inside. When the first box (main box) receives the connection request information, it will send UDP data. The second box passively receives the UDP data to obtain the SSID name and password of the external wireless network. After success, it goes to step S103, and the second box changes from a new box to a main box, and continues to connect to the third box (other new boxes), and so on.

[0066] S105, the mobile phone APP controls the brightness, switch, and lighting effects of all boxes in the intranet at once through the external wireless network WiFi LAN, using TCP or UDP data broadcasting.

[0067] For the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention, the box body may be a shoe box. When used for live broadcast room display or background wall display, the control terminal can be used to realize the display effect of lights in multiple shoe boxes without the need for manual layout of network cables or manual control to connect to the network one by one, thereby enhancing the experience of the display process and the convenience of operation.

[0068] The present invention only needs to configure one box body for networking with a mobile phone, and all other boxes do not need to be configured again. For example, if there are multiple newly purchased boxes, or a box wall and other multiple displays are organized in a new venue, configuration time is greatly saved and operation difficulty is reduced.
