Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computers, and in particular to a distributed terminal equipment testing system. Background Art

[0002] As a large number of communication component systems continue to emerge, when debugging and deploying communication component equipment, it is necessary to test the terminal equipment to confirm whether each terminal equipment can normally execute the issued control instructions.

[0003] In the prior art, when installing and testing the terminal equipment, the user terminal issues control instructions in sequence according to the communication component ID to address in the debugging stage, observes the status of the distributed terminal equipment, and determines the mapping relationship between the communication component number and the distributed terminal equipment number; in the deployment stage, a test sequence is generated according to the established mapping relationship, each terminal equipment is found in sequence according to the test sequence, and each terminal equipment is deployed in sequence in the physical space position; however, the above prior art also has the following technical problems:

[0004] First, when testing the terminal device, it is necessary to obtain a test sequence. To obtain the test sequence, it is necessary to send control instructions to the terminal device in sequence according to the ID sequence of the communication component, and obtain the mapping relationship between the communication component ID and the terminal device where it is located through the running status of the terminal device. This method of establishing a mapping relationship is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also affected by terminal device failures. If the terminal device fails and cannot perform any action according to the control instruction issued by the user terminal, it is impossible to establish a mapping relationship between the terminal device and the physical space position, resulting in the inability to generate a test sequence;

[0005] Second, when deploying terminal devices, it is necessary to find the terminal devices one by one according to the generated test sequence for deployment, and obtain the correspondence between the terminal device number and the physical space location. This method of obtaining the mapping relationship between the terminal device and the deployed physical space location is more cumbersome. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a distributed terminal device testing system, including a scanning terminal S, a user terminal U, a management terminal M and n terminal devices {r1, r2, ..., r p ,…,r n}; the value range of p is 1 to n, the pth terminal device r p With device tag c p And including a communication component a p ,c p Includes a p Unique identification information x p and additional information added by the user p; The scanning terminal S and the user terminal U are connected to the management terminal M respectively.

[0007] The scanning terminal S scans n terminal devices in turn according to the natural order of terminal device deployment in physical space, and obtains a unique identity information sequence x={x 1,i ,x 2,j ,…,x q,p ,…,x n,k}, where x q,p is a deployed at the qth spatial position p Unique identity information, 1≤q≤n, 1≤p≤n, and i≠j≠k.

[0008] The management terminal M generates a configuration sequence z={z 1,i ,z 2,j ,…,z q,p ,…,z n,k}, where z q,p is the terminal device r at the qth spatial position p The configuration instruction for configuring the communication component in the communication module; the configuration instruction is an instruction sent by the user terminal U to the communication component to enable the communication component to switch between the available state and the unavailable state; and at the same time, a test sequence y={y 1,i ,y 2,j ,…,y q,p ,…,y n,k}, where y q,p is the terminal device r at the qth spatial position p Control instructions for terminal device function testing; terminal device function testing is for U to issue control instructions to the terminal device and determine whether the terminal device correctly executes the corresponding instructions; and forwards z and y to user terminal U.

[0009] The user terminal U configures the communication component parameters of the communication components on the terminal devices one by one according to the configuration sequence z and performs functional tests on the terminal devices after the communication component parameter configuration is completed one by one according to the test sequence y.

[0010] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0011] First, the unique identification information of each communication component is obtained by scanning, and the unique identification information is combined with the additional information generated by the user terminal to obtain the device tag of the terminal device, and the unique identification information sequence is obtained by scanning the device tag by the scanning terminal, thereby obtaining the test sequence; when obtaining the test sequence, the present invention only needs to scan the device tags in sequence, which saves more time and manpower, and will not be affected by the failure of the terminal device, and the success rate of obtaining the test sequence is high;

[0012] Second, when deploying terminal devices, the terminal devices are deployed at any physical space location, a new test sequence is obtained by scanning, and then the terminal devices are functionally tested according to the test sequence; the process of deploying terminal devices is relatively convenient.

[0023] Among them, the scanning terminal and the management terminal M are connected via a short-range communication link; used for data interaction in a short-range scenario; optionally, the short-range communication link is Bluetooth, WIFI or wired network transmission.

[0024] Specifically, during the installation and testing process, the terminal device needs to be debugged and deployed; when debugging the terminal device, the connection between the scanning terminal and the management terminal M is a short-range communication link connection; when deploying the terminal device, the connection between the scanning terminal and the management terminal M is a short-range communication link connection or a long-range communication link connection.

[0026] S120, the scanning terminal S sends the communication component a included in the p-th terminal device p Unique identification information x p Input into the management terminal M for storage, and x p Synchronized to user terminal U triggers U to generate additional information y p .

[0027] Among them, the additional information is parameter information added by the user terminal that can represent the terminal device. Optionally, the additional information is rated voltage, rated current, rated frequency, rated capacity, brand, name, model, specification, type, serial number, batch and place of production.

[0030] When acquiring a test sequence to test a terminal device, this embodiment first acquires the unique identification information of the communication component, and then adds additional information based on the unique identification information. The device tag composed of the unique identification information and the additional information can uniquely identify the corresponding terminal device. Therefore, the mapping relationship between the terminal device and the physical location can be obtained using the device tag, saving time and manpower when acquiring the test sequence.

[0031] The scanning terminal S scans n terminal devices in turn according to the natural order of terminal device deployment in physical space, and obtains a unique identity information sequence x={x 1,i ,x 2,j ,…,x q,p ,…,x n,k}, where x q,p is a deployed at the qth spatial position p Unique identity information, 1≤q≤n, 1≤p≤n, and i≠j≠k.

[0034] Optionally, the physical space is a simulated debugging environment that is close to the actual on-site deployment space location. Debugging is a necessary procedure to ensure that the terminal equipment can operate normally before it is put into the deployment environment. Before the distributed terminal equipment is deployed in the on-site space location, the functions of the distributed terminal equipment need to be debugged. The debugging environment should be as similar as possible to the physical space where the terminal equipment is actually deployed; it can minimize the possibility of failure of the terminal equipment when it is deployed in the on-site environment.

[0035] When the communication components are integrated into the terminal device during the debugging phase, it is not necessary to follow the serial number sequence of the communication components. The device tag of the terminal device can be obtained after the disordered integration. The mapping relationship between the natural sequence of the physical space and the terminal device can be obtained by scanning the device tag according to the physical space position on site, and the unique identity information sequence x can be obtained. During the deployment phase, the terminal device with the device tag attached is directly deployed at the physical location of the space on site, and the device tag is scanned according to the order of the physical location to obtain the unique identity information sequence x. For example: when x={x 1,10 ,x 2,50 ,…,x n,35}, that is, the terminal device deployed at the first physical space position is the tenth communication component a 10 The corresponding terminal device deployed at the second physical space location is the 50th communication component a 50 The corresponding terminal device, the terminal device deployed at the nth physical space position is the 35th communication component a 35 The corresponding terminal device.

[0037] Optionally, the configuration sequence z and the test sequence y can be freely configured as a single point or multiple points according to the requirements.

[0038] Among them, the management terminal M is an electronic device including a memory and a processor, and development software for providing a user operation interface is installed in the electronic device; optionally, the electronic device is a computer, a mobile phone, or other terminal devices with a processor and a memory; the management terminal M is used to realize data forwarding and synchronization between the scanning terminal S, the user terminal U, the printing terminal Z and the monitoring terminal TS; specifically, during the debugging process of the terminal device, the management terminal M is used to store the unique identity information of the communication component, combine the unique identity information and additional information into a device label, generate configuration sequences and test sequences, and add, delete and change the stored configuration sequences and test sequences; during the deployment process of the terminal device, the management terminal M is used to generate configuration sequences and test sequences, and add, delete and change the stored configuration sequences and test sequences.

[0039] Among them, the configuration sequence z is a sequence that reflects the mapping relationship between the physical space position and the communication component. In the debugging stage of the terminal device, the test sequence reflects the sequence of the mapping relationship between the physical space position of the simulated deployment environment and the terminal device; in the deployment stage of the terminal device, the test sequence reflects the sequence of the mapping relationship between the physical space position in the real deployment environment and the deployed terminal device.

[0040] The test sequence y is a sequence that reflects the mapping relationship between the physical space position and the terminal device. In the debugging stage of the terminal device, the test sequence reflects the sequence of the mapping relationship between the physical space position of the simulated deployment environment and the terminal device; in the deployment stage of the terminal device, the test sequence reflects the sequence of the mapping relationship between the physical space position in the real deployment environment and the deployed terminal device. The distributed terminal device test system also includes a printing terminal Z, and the acquisition of the test sequence y or the configuration sequence z includes the following steps:

[0041] S320, print the device label c through the printing terminal Z p After printing, paste it on the terminal device p superior.

[0042] S340, use the scanning terminal S to scan the device tag to establish a mapping relationship between the physical space location and the terminal device, and obtain a unique identity identification information sequence x of n communication components arranged in the natural order of deployment.

[0043] S360: Generate a test sequence y or a configuration sequence z according to a mapping relationship between the physical space position contained in x and the terminal device.

[0044] Specifically, the test sequence is used to perform functional tests on the terminal devices in sequence according to the natural order of the physical space; for example: when y = {y 1,10 ,y 2,50 ,…,yn,35}, that is, the first terminal device to be functionally tested is the 10th terminal device at the 1st physical space position, the second terminal device to be functionally tested is the 50th terminal device at the 2nd physical space position, and the nth terminal device to be functionally tested is the 35th terminal device at the nth physical space position.

[0045] Specifically, the configuration sequence z is used to sequentially configure the communication components according to the natural order of the physical space; for example, when z={z 1,10 ,z 2,50 ,…,z n,35}, that is, the first instruction configuration is the communication component of the 10th terminal device at the 1st physical space position, the second instruction configuration is the communication component of the 50th terminal device at the 2nd physical space position, and the nth instruction configuration is the communication component of the 35th terminal device at the nth physical space position.

[0046] The user terminal U configures the communication components on the terminal devices one by one according to the configuration sequence z and performs functional tests on the terminal devices after the communication component parameter configuration is completed one by one according to the test sequence y.

[0047] Optionally, the configuration instruction is a mode configuration instruction, a data transmission rate configuration instruction, a frame length configuration instruction or a frame interval configuration instruction.

[0048] Optionally, the user terminal is an electronic device including a memory and a processor, and development software for providing a user operation interface is installed in the electronic device, which is used to issue control instructions to the terminal device according to a test sequence and monitor the return action of the distributed terminal to the control instructions; optionally, the electronic device is a computer, a mobile phone, or other terminal device with a processor and a memory.

[0049] Among them, the functional test is to use the user terminal to send control instructions to the terminal equipment in sequence according to the test sequence, and observe whether the terminal equipment in the corresponding natural order of deployment executes the instruction action or whether the executed instruction action is correct; if the executed instruction action is consistent with the control instruction, it means that the function of the distributed terminal after deployment is normal; otherwise, the communication function of the terminal device fails.

[0050] Furthermore, the distributed terminal device test system also includes a monitoring terminal TS, which monitors the operating status of the terminal device in real time and sends faulty terminal device information to the user terminal U through the management terminal M when a terminal device fault is detected. p .

[0051] The monitoring terminal TS is an electronic device including a memory and a processor, in which development software for providing a user operation interface is installed; optionally, the electronic device is a computer, a mobile phone, or other terminal device with a processor and a memory.

[0052] After the terminal device is deployed, the user terminal U can obtain the terminal device fault information from the monitoring terminal TS, and the user terminal U can also send the identification information sequence x, the configuration sequence z or the test sequence y to the TS.

[0053] Further, the user terminal U obtains the fault terminal device information r input by the monitoring terminal TS p When the fault occurs, U sends a command to the management terminal M to enable M to release the mapping relationship between the faulty terminal device and the physical space location, and establish a mapping relationship between the physical space location and the new terminal device, and use the new mapping relationship to update the unique identity sequence x, configuration sequence z and test sequence y.

[0054] Specifically, Figure 3 It shows that when the user terminal U receives the fault terminal equipment information r input by the monitoring terminal TS p , perform the following steps:

[0055] S220, the user terminal U sends r p Send to management terminal M.

[0056] S240, the management terminal M obtains r p The unique identification sequence x, based on x, obtain r p The corresponding physical space position q, r p The mapping relationship with position q is released.

[0057] S260, the management terminal M sends the new terminal device r n+1 Establish a mapping relationship with q to obtain a unique identity sequence x' = {x 1,i ,x 2,j ,…,x q,n+1 ,…,x n,k}, and update the configuration sequence z' = {z 1,i ,z 2,j ,…,z q,n+1 ,…,z n,k} and the test sequence y′={y 1,i ,y 2,j ,…,y q,n+1 ,…,y n,k}, and input z' and y' to the user terminal U.

[0058] S280, the user terminal U calculates z in z' q,n+1Configure instructions to the new terminal device r n+1 , and according to the y in y' q,n+1 R n+1 Perform functional testing.

[0059] Further, the management terminal M synchronizes x', y', z' to the monitoring terminal TS.

[0060] Optional, r n+1 It is a new terminal device obtained by scanning the terminal S or manually inputting.

[0061] Among them, the new terminal device r n+1 Parameter configuration is required at the user terminal U; when the terminal device containing the faulty communication component is replaced by a new terminal device r n+1 After that, the user terminal U n+1 Perform functional testing.

[0062] In the process of terminal device function test, when the user terminal U detects the terminal device r p When the action of the corresponding instruction is not correctly executed, steps S220-S280 are executed.

[0063] When a terminal device failure is detected in this embodiment, the mapping relationship between the faulty terminal device and its corresponding physical space location in the test sequence will be released, and the device tag of the new terminal device will be scanned by a scanning terminal to bind the new terminal device to the physical space location to establish a mapping relationship. This method of replacing a faulty terminal device is relatively convenient and will not cause errors in the mapping relationship between other physical space locations in the test sequence and the terminal device.

[0064] In summary, in the debugging stage of the terminal device, this embodiment obtains the unique identification information of each communication component by scanning, combines the unique identification information with the additional information generated by the user terminal to obtain the device tag of the terminal device, and obtains the unique identification information sequence by scanning the device tag by the scanning terminal, thereby obtaining the test sequence; when obtaining the test sequence, the present invention only needs to scan the device tags in sequence to obtain the mapping relationship between the physical space position and the terminal device, and obtain the test sequence by the unique identification information sequence generated by the mapping relationship, which saves more time and manpower, and will not be affected by the failure of the terminal device, so that the success rate of obtaining the test sequence is high. In the deployment stage of the terminal device, the terminal device is arbitrarily deployed in the physical space position, and the mapping relationship between the new physical space position and the terminal device is obtained by scanning, so as to obtain the test sequence by the new unique identification information sequence, and then the terminal device is functionally tested according to the new test sequence in the deployment stage; the present invention re-acquires the test sequence in the deployment stage, does not use the test sequence in the debugging stage, avoids searching for the terminal device according to the test sequence, and the deployment process is relatively independent and convenient.
