[0044] Optionally, in one embodiment, setting the networking node type of the wireless device with the resource level capability including a first resource capability as a root node includes: determining whether the resource level capability is a network creating wireless device capable of connecting to an online network, wherein the online network has been successfully connected to a server in advance; in the case that the resource level capability is a network creating wireless device capable of connecting to the online network, setting the networking node type of the resource level capability as a root node.

[0045] In one example embodiment, further, a process for joining the created wireless network according to the network status information of the created wireless network collected by the wireless device is described, and the specific steps include: in the case that the networking node type corresponding to the wireless device is a non-root node, determining first network status information of a first wireless sub-network corresponding to the wireless device from the network status information of the created wireless network, and calculating a first network quality value of the first wireless sub-network; for a plurality of first wireless sub-networks, joining a network with the largest network quality value in the plurality of first wireless sub-networks.

[0046] In one example embodiment, another technical solution is proposed for joining the created wireless network according to the network status information of the created wireless network collected by the wireless device, and the specific steps include: in the case that the networking node type corresponding to the wireless device is a root node, determining second network status information of a second wireless sub-network corresponding to the wireless device and third network status information of a service network that has been connected to a server in advance from the network status information of the created wireless network, wherein the service network represents a network providing networking function for the target object; calculating a second network quality value of the second wireless sub-network and a third network quality value of the service network based on the second network status information and the third network status information, respectively; and joining a network with the largest network quality value in the second wireless sub-network and the service network.

[0047] It should be noted that the service network which has been pre-connected with the server can be, for example, a whole-house basic network of a user's home.

[0048] In one example embodiment, in the process of joining the created wireless network according to the network status information of the created wireless network collected by the wireless device, further, for the case that the networking node type corresponding to the wireless device is a non-root node, a first network identifier corresponding to a network with a maximum network quality value in the first wireless sub-networks can be determined, the first network identifier is searched in a preset identifier record, and in the case that the search is successful, the wireless device is joined to the network with the maximum network quality value in the first wireless sub-networks; for the case that the networking node type corresponding to the wireless device is a root node, a second network identifier corresponding to a network with a maximum network quality value in the second wireless sub-networks and the service network can be determined, the second network identifier is searched in the preset identifier record, and in the case that the search is successful, the wireless device is joined to the network with the maximum network quality value in the second wireless sub-networks and the service network.

[0052] In one embodiment, after determining the networking node type corresponding to the wireless device based on the resource level capability of the wireless device, if it is determined that the wireless device fails to join the created wireless network according to the network status information of the created wireless network collected by the wireless device, a device sleep operation is performed, and after the sleep operation, the wireless device re-joins the created wireless network.

[0053] In the embodiment, when the wireless device fails to join the created wireless network, the device sleep operation is performed, which can improve the scenario coverage of the scheme, provide various device operation schemes, and greatly improve the success rate of wireless device networking.

[0054] In one example embodiment, in the process of joining the second wireless sub-network and the network with the maximum network quality value in the service network, for the root node, the wireless device and the service network can also perform a subnet number negotiation operation when the network with the maximum network quality value is the service network; when the subnet number negotiation operation is successful, a target wireless sub-network is created; and when the subnet number negotiation operation fails, the network with the maximum network quality value in the second wireless sub-network is joined.

[0057] In order to better understand the process of the above-mentioned wireless device networking method, the implementation process of the above-mentioned wireless device networking will be described in combination with optional embodiments below, but not used to limit the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.

[0058] In the embodiment, a wireless device networking method is provided, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the wireless device networking method according to the embodiments of the present application, as Figure 3 shown, the specific steps are as follows:

[0059] Step S301: first power-on;

[0060] Step S302: performing UMesh network configuration binding process;

[0061] Step S303: starting UMesh networking process;

[0062] Step S304: determining whether the UMesh device is a high resource level device (corresponding to the root node of the UMesh device); if yes, performing step S305, if not, performing step S306.

[0063] Step S305: probing signal quality of the whole house basic network;

[0064] Step S306: sending DIS to probe surrounding UMesh subnet information;

[0065] Step S307: determining whether the optimal access network can be selected; if yes, performing step S308, if not, performing step S309;

[0066] Step S308: determining whether the optimal access network is a UMesh subnet; if yes, performing step S310, if not, performing step S311.

[0067] Step S309: determining whether the UMesh is a root device; if yes, performing step S312; if not, performing step S313.

[0068] Step S310: sending DAO (Destination Advertisement Object) to access the UMesh subnet;

[0069] Step S311: connecting to the router to access the whole house basic network.

[0070] Step S312: sending DIO (DODAG Information Object) to build UMesh network without the whole house basic network; wherein, DODAG represents Destination-Oriented DAG.

[0071] Step S313: silent hibernation for a period of time.

[0072] Step S314: confirming whether the UMesh subnet is successfully joined; if yes, performing step S315, if not, performing step S313.

[0073] Step S315: ending the networking.

[0074] Step S316: confirming whether the connection to the whole-house basic network is successful; if yes, executing step S317, if no, executing step S310.

[0075] Step S317: negotiating the subnet number.

[0076] Step S318: confirming whether the negotiation of the subnet number is successful; if yes, executing step S319, if no, executing step S320.

[0077] Step S319: sending DIO to build the UMesh network.

[0078] Step S320: disconnecting the whole-house basic network; executing step S310.

[0079] Further, in one embodiment, the maximum value of the quality value uq of all UMesh subnets around the computing device and the quality value rq of the whole-house basic network can be calculated, and the network corresponding to the maximum value is selected. If the network corresponding to the maximum value is the UMesh network, the device joins the network, if the network corresponding to the maximum value is the whole-house basic network, the device connects the whole-house basic network and negotiates the subnet number, and after successfully obtaining the subnet number, sends DIO to start creating a UMesh subnet. It can be determined that whether the connection to the whole-house basic network fails or the negotiation of the subnet number fails, the device will give up connecting to the whole-house basic network and try to join the UMesh subnet.

[0080] If there are whole-house basic networks and UMesh subnets with the same quality value around, the device should first compare the preference value of itself and the preference value of the UMesh subnet, if the preference value of itself is greater than the preference value of the UMesh subnet, the device should connect to the whole-house basic network to try to create a new UMesh subnet, otherwise (the preference value of itself <= the preference value of the UMesh subnet) the device should join the UMesh subnet.

[0081] If the network corresponding to the maximum value is not found, as a root device, the device should try to build a UMesh network without the whole-house basic network, and as a non-root device, the device needs to be in silence and sleep for a period of time, and then try to start the network again. Alternatively, for the case of failure to join the optimal access network, the device also needs to be in silence and sleep for a period of time, and then try to start the network again.

[0082] It should be noted that the silence and sleep time can be, for example, at least 5 seconds and at most 48 hours.

[0083] In one embodiment, based on Figure 3 The implementation process of the network of the wireless device is described as follows: after a UMesh device is started for the first time, the following steps are executed:

[0084] Step 1, first, the UMesh network binding process is performed, after obtaining the UMesh network ID, the SSID and password of the user's home router, the UMesh networking process is entered.

[0085] Step 2, before the UMesh network binding, the UMesh screen device (representing the root device, which can be understood as the above-mentioned root node) temporarily configures the network for other UMesh devices based on the management frame. Temporary network configuration means network configuration when there is no whole house basic network or the whole house basic network is unavailable. When the UMesh device completes the network binding and obtains the UMesh network ID, the SSID and password of the user's home router, it exits from the temporary UMesh network and forms a formal UMesh network.

[0086] Among them, the networking process of forming a temporary UMesh network or a formal UMesh network can refer to Figure 3 . In addition, the process of switching from a temporary UMesh network to a formal UMesh network can also be completed by a pre-installed key update process.

[0087] Step 3, network the UMesh device. Among them, the UMesh networking process can be different according to the different capabilities of the UMesh device. For UMesh devices with root node capabilities, a UMesh subnet can be built to become a root node, or it can join an existing UMesh subnet as a normal node. For UMesh devices without root node capabilities, they can only try to join a UMesh subnet as a normal node, and cannot create a UMesh subnet.

[0088] If the UMesh device can be continuously powered (non-battery powered), supports at least IPv6&IPv4 dual stack, can store data locally and persistently, and can determine that it has a high resource level, it belongs to a root device with UMesh root node capability. For the root device, when it is ready to start, it can determine whether to join an existing UMesh subnet or create a UMesh subnet according to its own conditions and the surrounding environment (for example, the quality of connection with the whole house basic network, the number and load of the surrounding UMesh subnet).

[0089] If the UMesh device is power limited (battery powered) and has only a low resource level, it can only play the role of a UMesh normal node, i.e. a non-root device. The non-root device can only choose to join a UMesh subnet when it starts, and cannot attempt to create a UMesh subnet.

[0090] In particular, a high-resource-level UMesh device can play the role of a UMesh normal node when needed.

[0091] In addition, the UMesh device needs to collect the following information first after starting the networking process:

[0092] 1. Whether there is an existing UMesh subnet around, which can include, for example: signal quality between the existing UMesh subnet around, load status of the existing UMesh subnet around;

[0093] 2. For the root device, information for determining whether it can be connected to the whole-house basic network, for example: signal quality of the connection to the whole-house basic network.
