[0030] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be particularly noted that the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of the application. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present application, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0033] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of the embodiments of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0034] Smart device configuration refers to the process of connecting smart devices to the network and binding them to an account, enabling remote interaction between the user terminal and the smart device. Smart device configuration establishes a link for remote interaction between the user terminal and the smart device, and binding the account confirms the interaction relationship between the smart device and the user.

[0035] In the technical field of home appliances, in the past, the APP in the mobile terminal needs to pass through the (Bluetooth or WIFI) connection device hotspot to transfer the network information, and after the home appliance is connected to the network, the APP binds the user account and the smart device through the server. The main disadvantage of this method is that the mobile terminal needs to connect to the device hotspot, during which all the networking operations of the mobile terminal will be restricted, and the network configuration speed and security are low.

[0036] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of the present application is based on the Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, which allows the mobile terminal supporting the production of NFC cards and the home appliance sensing the NFC card to interact with each other in a faster and safer way during the network configuration, and does not affect the networking operation of the mobile terminal during the network configuration.

[0037] Among them, NFC is developed on the basis of non-contact radio frequency identification technology and wireless interconnection technology, which provides a very safe and fast communication method for various electronic products that are becoming more and more popular in daily life. The "near field" in the Chinese name of NFC refers to the radio wave in the vicinity of the electromagnetic field. Because the radio wave is actually an electromagnetic wave, it follows Maxwell's equations, and the electric field and the magnetic field will always alternate energy conversion during the transmission from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna, and will be enhanced when converting. For example, the radio signal used by the mobile phone is transmitted by using this principle. This method is called far-field communication. Within 10 wavelengths of electromagnetic waves, the electric field and the magnetic field are independent of each other, at this time the electric field is not too meaningful, but the magnetic field can be used for short-distance communication, which is called near-field communication.

[0038] Compared with Bluetooth or WIFI, NFC has faster information acquisition speed and higher security.

[0039] Specifically, the present application first proposes a home appliance network configuration method, such as Figure 1 Said, Figure 1 is the flowchart of an embodiment of the home appliance network configuration method of the present application. The execution subject of the home appliance network configuration method of the present application is the home appliance, and the home appliance network configuration method of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0040] Step S11: The home appliance reads the NFC card of the mobile terminal in the sensing area, and the NFC card is generated by the mobile terminal according to the current networking information.

[0041] Based on the NFC technology, the generating module of the mobile terminal directly generates the NFC card according to the current networking information, and the NFC card contains the networking information, which at least includes the network information and the identification information of the home appliance, etc. The network information includes network configuration information and network encryption information, etc.

[0042] The mobile terminal approaches the induction area of the home appliance, the home appliance induces the NFC card and obtains network information and identification information.

[0043] Step S12: The home appliance is networked according to the network information.

[0044] Specifically, the card reading module (NFC card reader) of the home appliance is connected to the generating module (NFC card generating module) of the mobile terminal in a pairing mode. If the connection is successful, the home appliance and the mobile terminal are connected in a point-to-point mode. The card reading module built in the home appliance reads the content of the NFC card of the mobile terminal in the point-to-point connection mode, obtains the network information and is networked.

[0045] Specifically, the home appliance can be networked with the network access device by using the network information.

[0046] The embodiment can enable the mobile terminal supporting the production of the NFC card and the home appliance inducing the NFC to realize data transmission through the NFC technology. As long as the NFC module of the mobile terminal and the NFC card reading module of the home appliance are successfully matched, the point-to-point data transmission between the two can be realized. The data transmission speed is fast, the safety is high and the power consumption is low. Therefore, the embodiment can improve the speed and safety of the network configuration of the home appliance and reduce the power consumption.

[0047] After the home appliance is connected to the network, it also needs to be bound with the user account of the mobile terminal, so that the user can operate and control the home appliance through the mobile terminal.

[0048] Therefore, the application further proposes another embodiment of the home appliance network configuration method. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, Figure 2 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the home appliance network configuration method of the application. The execution subject of the home appliance network configuration method of the embodiment is the home appliance. The NFC card of the embodiment further includes first verification information. The home appliance network configuration method of the embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S21: The home appliance reads the NFC card of the mobile terminal in the induction area. The NFC card is generated by the mobile terminal according to the current network information.

[0050] Step S21 is similar to step S11 described above. Here, the step is described in detail.

[0051] Step S22: The home appliance is networked according to the network information.

[0052] Step S22 is similar to step S12 described above. Here, the step is described in detail.

[0053] Step S23: After the home appliance is networked according to the network information, the first check information is sent to the server, and the first check information and the second check information sent by the mobile terminal are checked by the server to bind the user account of the home appliance and the mobile terminal after the check is successful.

[0054] The identification information of the home appliance can be sent to the server when the first check information is sent, or can be sent to the server when the network is connected; the user account can be placed in the second check information, or sent to the server when the second check information is sent, and the like.

[0055] After the home appliance is networked according to the network information, the first check information is sent to the server, which can be identification information in the NFC card or check information generated according to the identification information; the mobile terminal can query the network state of the home appliance through the APP and the server, and upload the second check information to the server after the network connection is successful, which can be identification information in the NFC card or check information generated according to the identification information; the server checks whether the first check information or the second check information is consistent or matched according to certain rules; if yes, the check is successful, the server binds the user account of the home appliance and the mobile terminal, at this time the mobile terminal has certain control authority on the home appliance; if not, the check fails, the server does not bind the user account of the home appliance and the mobile terminal, at this time the mobile terminal cannot control the home appliance.

[0056] The data flow of the mobile terminal and the home appliance is unidirectional, the mobile terminal does not know what home appliance is configured with, so this check needs to be processed by the server; wherein the server can be a terminal device or a cloud server, etc.

[0057] The user account refers to the account registered by the user on the server corresponding to the APP, and the APP can perform more APP operations after the user logs in the account.

[0058] Further, after the home appliance is networked and bound, the mobile terminal can enter the home appliance interaction interface to connect and control the home appliance through the wide area network after the home appliance is networked and bound by the mobile terminal through the APP.

[0059] The embodiment can improve the speed and safety of the home appliance network configuration, and reduce the power consumption. The embodiment can also bind the user account of the home appliance and the mobile terminal to determine the interaction relationship between the user and the mobile terminal, so that the user can operate and control the home appliance through the mobile terminal.

[0060] The home appliance and the server and the mobile terminal and the server in the embodiment can be connected through the wide area network.

[0061] This embodiment combines NFC technology with wide area networks, enabling mobile terminals that support the production of NFC cards and home appliances that can sense NFC cards to interact with each other via the network in a faster and more secure way.

[0062] As can be seen from the above analysis, with existing network pairing methods such as Bluetooth or WIFI, mobile terminals need to connect to the device hotspot, during which all network operations of the mobile terminal will be restricted.

[0063] To address this technical problem, this application further proposes another embodiment of a home appliance network distribution method, such as... Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the home appliance network distribution method of this application. The executing subject of this embodiment's home appliance network distribution method is home appliances, and the specific steps of this embodiment's home appliance network distribution method are as follows:

[0064] Step S31: The home appliance reads the NFC card of the mobile terminal within the sensing area. The NFC card is generated by the mobile terminal based on the current network information.

[0065] Step S31 is similar to step S21 above, and the steps are repeated here.

[0066] Step S32: After the home appliance reads the NFC card of the mobile terminal in the sensing area, it sends a connection signal so that the mobile terminal can receive the connection signal and establish a connection with the home appliance, thereby obtaining the interactive interface of the home appliance.

[0067] After sensing the NFC card content and obtaining network information, home appliances can send a connection signal. Mobile terminals can then directly connect to and interact with these appliances during network configuration. This ensures that the user's internet access is unaffected during network configuration; furthermore, directly connecting to the appliance via the connection signal during configuration effectively reduces user waiting time, allowing them to access the interface and interact with the appliance sooner.

[0068] It is important to note that before a mobile device is linked to a user's account, the user has only partial or no control over the device. Only after the device is linked to the user's account does the user gain full control.

[0069] Optionally, the connection signal in this embodiment includes near-field communication signals, such as Bluetooth connection signals or Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) signals. The mobile terminal searches for NAN signals or Bluetooth signals, and after finding the NAN signal or Bluetooth signal of the home appliance, establishes a near-field communication channel to obtain and access the home appliance's interactive interface.

[0070] In other embodiments, the connection signal can also be a ZigBee signal or a WIFI signal, etc.

[0071] Step S33: The home appliance is networked according to the networking information.

[0072] Step S33 is similar to step S22 described above, and thus is not described here.

[0073] Step S34: After the home appliance is networked according to the networking information, the first verification information is sent to the server, and the server verifies the first verification information and the second verification information sent by the mobile terminal, so as to bind the user account of the home appliance and the mobile terminal after the verification is successful.

[0074] Step S34 is similar to step S23 described above, and thus is not described here.

[0075] In other embodiments, the execution order of step S32 and step S33 is not limited.

[0076] In this embodiment, the mobile terminal has connected the home appliance through the NAN technology or the Bluetooth technology, and after the user account of the home appliance and the mobile terminal is bound, the connection mode between the home appliance and the mobile terminal is switched to a wide area network, and the mobile terminal remains in the home appliance interactive interface.

[0077] This embodiment can improve the speed and security of the home appliance network configuration, reduce power consumption, and enable the user to operate and control the home appliance through the mobile terminal. Moreover, this embodiment can enable the mobile terminal to enter the home appliance interactive interface and interact with the home appliance in advance before the user account of the home appliance and the mobile terminal is bound.

[0078] In other embodiments, the connection signal can also be a ZigBee signal or a WIFI signal, etc. Figure 1 The above-mentioned extension is made to the embodiment.

[0079] The application further proposes another embodiment of a home appliance network configuration method, which is as follows: Figure 4 As described above, Figure 4 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the home appliance network configuration method of the application. The execution subject of the home appliance network configuration method of this embodiment is a mobile terminal, and the home appliance network configuration method of this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0080] Step S41: The mobile terminal generates an NFC card according to the current networking information.

[0081] The mobile terminal of this embodiment can be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a wearable smart device, etc.

[0082] Based on NFC technology, the NFC module of a mobile terminal directly generates an NFC card according to current network information. This NFC card contains network information, which includes at least network information and identification information of home appliances. The network information includes network configuration information and network encryption information.

[0083] Step S42: The mobile terminal is located within the sensing area of ​​the home appliance, and the NFC card is read by the home appliance so that the home appliance can connect to the network based on the network information.

[0084] The household appliances in this embodiment can be refrigeration appliances, air conditioners, cleaning appliances, kitchen appliances, electric heating appliances, cosmetic and health maintenance appliances, audio-visual appliances, and other household appliances.

[0085] When a mobile terminal is brought close to the sensing area of ​​a home appliance, the appliance senses the NFC card and obtains network and identification information.

[0086] Specifically, the card reader module (NFC card reader) of the home appliance is paired and connected with the generation module (NFC card generation module) of the mobile terminal. If the connection is successful, the home appliance and the mobile terminal are connected point-to-point. The card reader module built into the home appliance reads the NFC card content of the mobile terminal through the point-to-point connection and obtains network information to connect to the network.

[0087] Specifically, home appliances can use the aforementioned network information to negotiate and connect to the network with network access devices.

[0088] This embodiment enables mobile terminals that support NFC card production and NFC-enabled home appliances to transmit data via NFC technology. As long as the NFC module of the mobile terminal and the NFC card reader module of the home appliance are successfully matched, point-to-point data transmission between the two can be achieved. The data transmission speed is fast, the security is high, and the power consumption is low. Therefore, this embodiment can improve the speed and security of home appliance network configuration and reduce power consumption.

[0089] After home appliances are connected to the network, the user account of the mobile terminal also needs to be bound to the home appliances so that the user can operate and control the home appliances through the mobile terminal.

[0090] Therefore, this application further proposes another embodiment of the home appliance network distribution method, such as... Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the home appliance network configuration method of this application. The executing entity of the home appliance network configuration method in this embodiment is a mobile terminal, and the NFC card in this embodiment further includes first verification information. The home appliance network configuration method in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0091] Step S51: The mobile terminal generates an NFC card based on the current network information.

[0092] Step S51 is similar to step S41, and thus is not described herein.

[0093] Step S52: the mobile terminal is located in the induction area of the home appliance, and the NFC card is read by the home appliance, so that the home appliance is networked according to the networking information.

[0094] Step S52 is similar to step S42, and thus is not described herein.

[0095] Step S53: the mobile terminal sends the second check information to the server, and the server checks the second check information and the first check information sent by the home appliance, so that the user account of the mobile terminal is bound to the home appliance after the check is successful.

[0096] The user account can be placed in the second check information, or sent to the server when the second check information is sent; the identification information of the home appliance can be sent to the server when the first check information is sent, or sent to the server when the home appliance is networked, etc.

[0097] After the home appliance is networked, the first check information is sent to the server, which can be the identification information in the NFC card or the check information generated according to the identification information; after the NFC card is read by the home appliance, the mobile terminal uploads the second check information to the server, which can be the identification information in the NFC card or the check information generated according to the identification information; the server checks whether the first check information or the second check information is consistent or matched according to a certain rule; if yes, the check is successful, the server binds the home appliance to the user account of the mobile terminal, at this time the mobile terminal has certain control authority on the home appliance; if not, the check fails, the server does not bind the home appliance to the user account of the mobile terminal, at this time the mobile terminal cannot control the home appliance.

[0098] The data flow of the mobile terminal and the home appliance is unidirectional, the mobile terminal does not know what home appliance is networked with, so this check needs to be processed by the server; wherein the server can be a terminal device or a cloud server, etc.

[0099] The user account refers to the account registered by the user on the server corresponding to the APP, and the APP can perform more APP operations after the user logs in the account.

[0100] Further, after the home appliance is networked and bound, the mobile terminal can query the home appliance through the APP, and access and enter the interactive interface of the home appliance, and connect and control the home appliance through the wide area network.

[0101] The embodiment can improve the speed and safety of the network configuration of the household appliance, and reduce power consumption. The embodiment can also bind the household appliance and the user account of the mobile terminal, so as to determine the interaction relationship between the household appliance and the user of the mobile terminal, and enable the user to operate and control the household appliance through the mobile terminal.

[0102] The household appliance and the server and the mobile terminal and the server in the embodiment can be connected through a wide area network.

[0103] The embodiment combines the NFC technology and the wide area network, so that the mobile terminal supporting the NFC card and the household appliance sensing the NFC card can interact through a faster and safer network configuration.

[0104] From the above analysis, it can be known that the existing network configuration methods such as Bluetooth or WIFI require the mobile terminal to connect to the device hotspot, and all network operations of the mobile terminal during this period will be limited.

[0105] To solve the technical problem, the application further provides another embodiment of a household appliance network configuration method, as shown in Figure 6 Figure 6 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the household appliance network configuration method of the application. The execution subject of the household appliance network configuration method of the embodiment is a mobile terminal, and the household appliance network configuration method of the embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0106] Step S61: The mobile terminal generates an NFC card according to the current network information.

[0107] Step S61 is similar to step S51 described above, and the step is not described here.

[0108] Step S62: The mobile terminal is located in the sensing area of the household appliance, and the NFC card is read by the household appliance, so that the household appliance is networked according to the network information.

[0109] Step S62 is similar to step S52 described above, and the step is not described here.

[0110] Step S63: After the household appliance is networked, the mobile terminal receives the connection signal sent by the household appliance and establishes a connection with the household appliance.

[0111] Step S64: The mobile terminal acquires the interaction interface of the household appliance.

[0112] ​After the home appliance device senses the content of the NFC card and obtains the network information, the home appliance device can send a connection signal. The mobile terminal can directly establish a connection with the home appliance device and interact with the home appliance device during the network configuration by using the connection signal. In this way, the user of the mobile terminal is not affected during the network configuration. Meanwhile, the user can directly connect with the home appliance device by using the connection signal during the network configuration, so that the time for waiting for the network configuration can be effectively compressed, and the user can enter the interactive interface and interact with the home appliance device in advance.

[0113] It should be noted that the mobile terminal has only partial or no control over the home appliance device before the home appliance device is bound to the user account, and has full control over the home appliance device after the home appliance device is bound to the user account.

[0114] Optionally, the connection signal in this embodiment includes a near field communication signal, such as a Bluetooth connection signal or a NAN signal. The mobile terminal searches for the NAN signal or the Bluetooth signal, and after finding the NAN signal or the Bluetooth signal of the home appliance device, the mobile terminal enters the near field communication channel, obtains the interactive interface of the home appliance device, and enters the interactive interface.

[0115] In other embodiments, the connection signal can also be a ZigBee signal or a WIFI signal.

[0116] Step S65: The mobile terminal sends the second verification information to the server, and the server verifies the second verification information and the first verification information sent by the home appliance device, so as to bind the home appliance device and the user account of the mobile terminal after the verification is successful.

[0117] Step S65 is similar to step S53 described above, and the details are not described herein.

[0118] This embodiment can improve the speed and security of the network configuration of the home appliance, reduce power consumption, and enable the user to operate and control the home appliance by using the mobile terminal. Moreover, this embodiment can enable the mobile terminal to enter the interactive interface of the home appliance and interact with the home appliance in advance before the home appliance device is bound to the user account.

[0119] In other embodiments, the network configuration can also be based on Figure 4 The embodiments can be extended as described above.

[0120] The present application further provides a home appliance device, such as a smart TV, as shown in FIG. 7. Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 7, Figure 7 FIG. 7 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the home appliance device according to the present application.
