[0033] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0035] The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present application. The singular forms "a", "said", "first" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings.

[0036] In this application, the main control device is the network configuration device, and the imaging device is the network configuration device. The main control device is used to send network configuration related data to the imaging device, so that the imaging device completes the network configuration and then accesses the local area network.

[0037] Among them, the main control device can be, for example, any terminal device such as a personal computer (PC), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless handheld device, a tablet computer (Tablet Computer), a mobile phone, etc., and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0038] Figure 1 A flow chart of a network distribution method provided in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the above network configuration method may include:

[0039] Step 101: An imaging device broadcasts a request for network configuration data.

[0040] After the imaging device is powered on, it can enter the network configuration mode in response to the received mode setting operation. Exemplarily, the mode setting operation can be a pressing operation on one or more designated keys on the imaging device, a clicking operation on a designated button in the display interface, etc. The network configuration mode can be, for example, a Bluetooth mode or a wireless access point (AP) mode.

[0041] After entering the network configuration mode, the imaging device can automatically broadcast a network configuration data request to request the master device to broadcast the network configuration data.

[0042] In a feasible implementation, the imaging device can add the network configuration data request to the device name of the imaging device. Thus, after searching for the imaging device, the master device can respond to the network configuration data request according to the device name. The specific form of the network configuration data request can be determined by the protocol between the imaging device and the master device. For example, it can be PW_Req, etc., which is not limited in this application.

[0043] Step 102: The master control device broadcasts network configuration data in response to the monitored network configuration data request.

[0044] After the network configuration program in the master control device is started, the imaging device currently in the network configuration mode can be searched. After searching for the corresponding imaging device, the master control device can determine that the imaging device is requesting network configuration data according to the device name of the imaging device. Then, the master control device can respond to the network configuration data request and broadcast the network configuration data. Specifically, the master control device can encapsulate the network configuration data in a network configuration data packet for broadcasting.

[0045] Step 103: The imaging device monitors the network configuration data broadcast by the master control device.

[0046] Step 104: The imaging device performs network configuration according to the network configuration data and broadcasts first indication information.

[0047] After the imaging device logs in to the local area network according to the network configuration data, the device name can be set according to the first indication information. In the embodiment of the present application, the first indication information can be used to indicate that the network configuration is complete. The specific form of the first indication information can be determined by the protocol between the imaging device and the master control device, for example, it can be COMPLETE. In an exemplary implementation, the imaging device can set the device name according to the first indication information by setting the device name to PW_COMPLETE.

[0048] Step 105: The main control device determines that the network configuration of the imaging device is completed in response to the monitored first indication information.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, after searching for the imaging device, the main control device can determine the first indication information according to the device name of the imaging device, and then determine that the imaging device network configuration is completed according to the first indication information.

[0050] Through the above technical solution, the main control device can timely learn the network configuration progress of the imaging device, thereby improving the reliability of the network configuration process. In addition, the imaging device can actively control the sending time of the network configuration information, thereby improving the flexibility of the network configuration process.

[0051] In another embodiment of the present application, the implementation method of the above-mentioned network distribution method is further explained.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to improve the data transmission efficiency, the master device and the imaging device may pre-agree on a transmission threshold. The transmission threshold may be used to specify the maximum amount of data transmitted between the master device and the imaging device each time. The specific value of the transmission threshold may be set according to the requirements, for example, it may be set to the maximum transmission threshold allowed by the broadcast.

[0053] Based on the above description, the master control device can split the complete network configuration data according to the preset transmission threshold to obtain multiple network configuration data. Then, the master control device can assign corresponding serial number identifiers to each of the split network configuration data according to the preset numbering rules. The serial number identifier can be any identifier that can represent the order defined according to the protocol, such as numbers, letters, a combination of numbers and letters, etc.

[0054] In particular, when the complete network distribution data is less than the preset transmission threshold, the number of network distribution data obtained by splitting is 1 (ie, no splitting is required). At this time, the master control device can assign a sequence number identifier representing the sequence 1 to the complete network distribution data according to the preset numbering rule.

[0055] Based on the above-mentioned master control device splitting principle and numbering principle for complete distribution network data, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the above network configuration method may include:

[0056] Step 201: The imaging device sets the device name of the imaging device according to the serial number identifier of the network configuration data to be requested.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the device name set by the imaging device may include not only the network configuration data request but also the serial number identification of the network configuration data to be requested. Specifically, since the imaging device is not sure about the number of network configuration data obtained by splitting at the master device at this time, in a feasible implementation, the imaging device may add the corresponding serial number identification to the device name of the imaging device in sequence according to the coding order.

[0058] For example, when requesting network configuration data for the first time, the imaging device may set the device name of the imaging device to: PW_Req_001. PW_Req may represent a network configuration data request, and 001 may represent a request for the first network configuration data. It should be noted that at this time, the network configuration data obtained by splitting at the imaging device may be only one or more.

[0059] Step 202: The main control device broadcasts corresponding network configuration data according to the device name of the imaging device.

[0060] The master device can determine the serial number identifier of the network configuration data to be requested according to the device name of the imaging device. Furthermore, the master device can broadcast the corresponding network configuration data according to the serial number identifier of the network configuration data. Specifically, it can be a broadcast response network configuration data packet, in which the corresponding network configuration data is encapsulated.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, further, in order to identify the service type corresponding to the data packet, the header position of the above-mentioned network configuration data packet may also add a network configuration service identifier. Exemplarily, the network configuration service identifier may be, for example, PW_RESPONSE, which is used to indicate a network configuration data response. And, the above-mentioned network configuration data packet may also include a serial number identifier of the network configuration data.

[0062] Step 203: The imaging device monitors the network configuration data broadcast by the master device according to the device name.

[0063] Step 204: The imaging device determines whether the complete network configuration data has been received according to the size of the network configuration data packet. If yes, execute step 205; otherwise, continue to execute step 201.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, considering that the complete network configuration data may be split into multiple parts, each time the imaging device monitors the network configuration data broadcast by the master control device, it can determine whether the complete network configuration data has been received.

[0065] It can be understood that, under the premise of splitting the complete distribution network data according to the preset transmission threshold, in most cases, the amount of data contained in each distribution network data packet obtained by splitting will be: the amount of data contained in the last distribution network data packet obtained by splitting is less than the preset transmission threshold, while the amount of data contained in the remaining distribution network data packets is equal to the preset transmission threshold.

[0066] Therefore, on this basis, in a feasible implementation method, the imaging device can judge the data volume of the network configuration data packet received this time. If it is less than the preset transmission threshold, then the currently received network configuration data packet can be considered to be the last one, that is, the complete network configuration data has been received. Otherwise, it is considered that some network configuration data has not been received.

[0067] In another feasible implementation, when broadcasting the last network configuration data packet, the master control device may add a preset identifier to it to identify the current network configuration data packet as the last data packet. The specific form of the preset identifier may be determined by the protocol between the imaging device and the master control device, for example, it may be FINALLY. Each time the imaging device receives a network configuration data packet, it may confirm whether it contains the above preset identifier. If so, it may be confirmed that the complete network configuration data has been received. Otherwise, it is considered that some network configuration data has not yet been received.

[0068] On the basis of determining that the complete network configuration data has been received, the imaging device can continue to execute the subsequent method flow. On the contrary, when the network configuration data packet is equal to the preset transmission threshold, the imaging device has not received the complete network configuration data. At this time, the imaging device can re-execute the above step 201 and set the device name again according to the sequence number identifier of the next network configuration data to be requested, such as PW_Req_002. Then, the next network configuration data packet broadcasted by the master control device can be continuously monitored. This process is executed repeatedly until the imaging device determines that the complete network configuration data has been received.

[0069] Step 205: The imaging device performs network configuration according to the network configuration data and broadcasts first indication information.

[0070] Step 206: The main control device determines that the imaging device network configuration is completed in response to the monitored first indication information.

[0071] In the above technical solution, the master control device can split the complete network distribution data and broadcast it to improve the data transmission efficiency. The imaging device can judge the integrity of the received network distribution data, and when it is determined that the complete network distribution data has not been received, it can broadcast the network distribution data request again. Accordingly, when it is determined that the complete network distribution data has been received, the network distribution can be implemented. In the scenario of broadcasting network distribution data, the flexibility of data broadcasting is improved.

[0072] Figure 3 A flowchart of another network distribution method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the network configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following process:

[0073] Step 301: An imaging device broadcasts a request for network configuration data.

[0074] Step 302: The master control device broadcasts network configuration data in response to the monitored network configuration data request.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the master control device may verify the network configuration data using a preset verification rule in response to the network configuration data request to generate verification information. The preset verification rule may be, for example, any one of a cyclic redundancy check rule and the like. Then, the master control device may encapsulate the verification information and the network configuration data into a network configuration data packet and broadcast the network configuration data packet.

[0076] Step 303: The imaging device monitors the network configuration data broadcast by the master control device in response to the network configuration data request.

[0077] Step 304: The imaging device performs data verification on the network configuration data to determine whether the network configuration data is received correctly. If correct, execute step 305; otherwise, execute step 301.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, the imaging device may verify the received network configuration data to verify whether the received network configuration data is correct.

[0079] In a possible implementation, after receiving the network configuration data packet broadcasted by the master control device, the imaging device can extract the network configuration data and verification information contained therein respectively. Then, the imaging device can re-verify the network configuration data according to the above-mentioned preset verification rules, such as cyclic redundancy check rules, to obtain a verification value. Then, the imaging device can compare the obtained verification value with the verification information in the network configuration data packet. If the comparison result is consistent, then it can be considered that the verification is passed and the network configuration data is received correctly. Otherwise, if the verification value is inconsistent with the verification information contained in the network configuration data packet, it is considered that the verification has failed and the network configuration data is received incorrectly.

[0080] In another possible implementation, for the scenario of network configuration in Bluetooth mode, the imaging device can simultaneously monitor the network configuration data broadcast by the master control device from multiple broadcast channels, and then compare the network configuration data monitored by each broadcast channel. If the network configuration data monitored by each broadcast channel are consistent, or the network configuration data monitored by any two broadcast channels are consistent, it can be determined that the network configuration data is received correctly. Otherwise, if the network configuration data monitored by each broadcast channel are inconsistent, it can be determined that the network configuration data is received incorrectly.

[0081] When it is determined that the network configuration data is received correctly, the imaging device can continue to execute the subsequent process. When the network configuration data is received incorrectly, the imaging device can re-execute the above step 301 to request the master device to rebroadcast the network configuration data. Specifically, the imaging device can keep the current device name unchanged, and then, when the master device re-searches the device name, it can rebroadcast the corresponding network configuration data.

[0082] Step 305: The imaging device performs network configuration according to the network configuration data and broadcasts first indication information.

[0083] Step 306: The main control device determines that the network configuration of the imaging device is completed in response to the monitored first indication information.

[0084] In the above technical solution, the imaging device can verify the received network distribution data to ensure the correctness of the received network distribution data. In addition, the imaging device can also retransmit the data when the verification fails. Through the above technical solution, the reliability of the network distribution process can be further improved.
