[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of Internet of Things, and in particular to a communication method, a communication chip, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the advent of the Internet of Things era, the application scope of the Internet of Things is becoming wider and wider, and various electronic devices are also being connected to related Internet of Things systems.

[0003] In the IoT system, electronic devices and different modules within an electronic device may communicate using a serial port protocol. For example, a main control module and a communication module (such as a Wi-Fi module) within an electronic device may communicate using a serial port protocol.

[0004] However, serial port protocols are generally designed for specific devices, and the serial port protocols corresponding to different devices vary greatly. For example, the serial port protocol of a fan is usually only suitable for transmitting the relevant parameters of the fan, which results in these serial port protocols being able to only transmit data of a certain product in a targeted manner, and having poor versatility. Moreover, these serial port protocols usually limit the types of data that can be transmitted, and have extremely poor scalability. If there is a new type of data to be transmitted, a series of heavy tasks such as redesigning the serial port protocol and testing the serial port protocol need to be carried out, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

[0029] In a fifth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein when the processor executes the computer program, the method described in the first aspect or any one of the embodiments of the first aspect is implemented.

[0042] With the advent of the Internet of Things era, the application scope of the Internet of Things is becoming larger and larger, and various electronic devices are being connected to related Internet of Things systems.

[0043] In the IoT system, electronic devices and different modules within an electronic device may communicate using a serial port protocol. For example, a main control module and a communication module (such as a Wi-Fi module) within an electronic device may communicate using a serial port protocol.

[0044] However, serial port protocols are generally designed for specific devices, such as Figure 1 In the fan serial port protocol shown in the figure, the message includes: protocol header, fan-related power on / off, wind speed, gear and other fields, while the refrigerator serial port protocol needs to include refrigerator-related temperature and other fields. This leads to large differences in the serial port protocols corresponding to different devices. A serial port protocol can usually only transmit data of a certain product in a targeted manner, and has poor versatility. Moreover, these serial port protocols usually limit the types of data that can be transmitted, and have extremely poor scalability. If there is a new type of data to be transmitted, a series of heavy tasks such as redesigning the serial port protocol and testing the serial port protocol need to be carried out, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

[0045] Since the main difference between different serial port protocols is the parsing rules of device-related parameters (i.e., message bodies), the embodiment of the present application provides a communication method, which makes the contents other than the parsing rules of the message bodies independent universal serial port protocols, and makes the parsing rules of the message bodies independent device description files. In this way, when electronic devices receive messages sent by different interactive parties through serial ports, they can parse them through the universal serial port protocol, determine the message body in the message, and then parse the message body according to the corresponding device description file, without the need to design different serial port protocols for different devices, thereby effectively improving the versatility of the universal serial port protocol.

[0046] The execution subject of the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present application may be a Wi-Fi module of an electronic device, or other communication modules of the electronic device, wherein the Wi-Fi module or other communication modules may be integrated in a communication chip. This embodiment will be exemplified by taking the execution subject of the communication method as a Wi-Fi module as an example.

[0047] Figure 2 A flow chart of a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0048] S110: Receive a first message sent by a first interactive party through a serial port.

[0049] The first interactive party may be a main control module, or may be another module that communicates with the Wi-Fi module through a serial port. The main control module may be integrated in a main control chip. This implementation will be described exemplarily by taking the first interactive party as the main control module.

[0050] In scenarios where the computing power resources / storage resources of the main control module are limited, the main control module may not have the ability to parse JSON files, etc. Therefore, in these scenarios, the main control module may send the first binary message through the serial port, thereby saving the computing power resources / storage resources of the main control module.

[0051] The first message is used for the electronic device where the main control module is located to feed back one or more of its own device operation status, control instructions or other information to the Wi-Fi module.

[0052] S120: Parse the first message according to the universal serial port protocol to obtain a first message body in the first message.

[0053] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a universal serial port protocol provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the universal serial port protocol may include a protocol header, length, command word, check bit and message body. The Wi-Fi module can parse the message (i.e., the first message) sent by the main control module of different devices through the serial port according to the universal serial port protocol to obtain different message bodies.

[0054] The format of the message body obtained after parsing is the same as the format of the first message. For example, if the first message is binary, the corresponding message body after parsing is also binary. In other words, the universal serial port protocol can be used to describe the position of the message body in the message sent by the serial port, but does not set the parsing rules of the message body.

[0055] S130: Obtain a device description file corresponding to the first interactive party, and parse the first message body according to the device description file to obtain first target data.

[0056] The device description file can define the device's identification, functions, and the data format corresponding to the functions.

[0057] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a device description file provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the device description file is in json format. The file first defines the product model of the corresponding device as A200, and then defines the device functions of the corresponding device, including power on / off and gear position. The data type corresponding to each function is defined through the type field, and the specific value corresponding to each function is defined through the value field.

[0058] The data type corresponding to the power-on function is Boolean (bool) type, with a data length of 1 byte, where 0 represents power off and 1 represents power on; the data type corresponding to the gear function is enumeration (enum) type, with a data length of 1 byte, including first gear, second gear and third gear, where 1 represents first gear, 2 represents second gear and 3 represents third gear.

[0059] The device file also defines the identifier id in the binary serial port protocol, where the id corresponding to the switch is 1, and the id corresponding to the gear position is 2. The length of the id can be set to a fixed 2 bytes.

[0060] The above is only an illustrative example of the device description file in the embodiment of the present application. In the actual application process, developers can set corresponding device description files according to the actual needs of various electronic devices. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific form of the device description file.

[0061] The device description file may be stored in a memory of the device or in a server. This embodiment will be described exemplarily by taking the storage of the device description file in the server as an example.

[0062] The Wi-Fi module may first obtain the device identification of the first interactive party, such as the device model, SN number, etc. Specifically, the device identification may be stored in the main control module or memory of the device, and when the device communicates with the Wi-Fi module, the Wi-Fi module may obtain the device identification from the main control module or memory of the device.

[0063] Then, according to the device identifier, the corresponding device description file is obtained from the server, and then the first message body is parsed according to the device description file.

[0064] For example, the first message body is "0x00,0x01,0x01,0x00,0x02,0x02", and the device description file is Figure 4 As shown, the Wi-Fi module first parses the first two bytes of the first message body, which are fixed as ID, and the obtained value is 0x0001, which corresponds to the power on / off function in the device description file. Then, it takes one byte to get the value of 0x01, which corresponds to power on in the description file. At this time, the first function is parsed. Then, it parses the next two bytes, which are also fixed as ID, and the obtained value is 0x0002, which corresponds to the gear position in the device description file. Then, it takes one byte to get the value of 0x02, which corresponds to the second gear in the description file. At this time, the second function is parsed. That is, the data obtained after parsing the first message body is "power on / off: power on, gear position: second gear".

[0065] Then, the parsed data can be converted into a preset format to obtain the first target data. For example, the preset format can be a json format, and the first target data can be {"on / off":"on","gear":"second gear"}. It can be understood that the first target data can also be data in other formats, and this application does not specifically limit this.

[0066] In addition, the first target data may also include a device identifier of the electronic device where the main control module is located, so that the user can distinguish the operating conditions of different electronic devices.

[0067] In some embodiments, after the Wi-Fi module acquires the first target data, the following step may further include: sending the first target data to the second interaction party.

[0068] The second interactive party may be another application (Application, APP) that communicates with the Wi-Fi module. The data format of the first target data is the data line transmission format agreed upon by the Wi-Fi module and the second interactive party. The user can view the first target data through the second interactive party to learn the operation status of the device where the main control module is located.

[0069] In some embodiments, in addition to receiving the first message sent by the first interactive party, the Wi-Fi module can also receive the second target data sent by the second interactive party, convert the second target data into a second message and send it to the first interactive party. Figure 5 , the interaction process may include the following steps:

[0070] S510: Receive second target data sent by a second interactive party.

[0071] The second target data is used to control the operation of other electronic devices, and the second target data may include device identifications of other electronic devices.

[0072] The data format of the second target data is the data transmission format agreed upon by the Wi-Fi module and the second interacting party.

[0073] For example, the second target data may be {"product model":"A200","power on / off":"power on","gear position":"third gear"}.

[0074] S520: Convert the second target data into a second message according to the device description file.

[0075] Specifically, the Wi-Fi module can obtain the corresponding device description file from the server according to the device identifier in the second target data, and then convert the second target data into a second message body according to the device description file, and then generate a second message by combining the second message body and the universal serial port protocol.

[0076] The format of the second message is specified by the universal serial port protocol, which is the data format when the main control module communicates with the Wi-Fi module through the serial port.

[0077] S530: Send a second message to the first interactive party through the serial port.

[0078] After generating the second message, the Wi-Fi module may send the second message to the main control module through the serial port.

[0079] In addition, the communication method provided by the present application can also be applied to the development and debugging of programs related to the Internet of Things. It should be noted that in the process of product development, multi-device joint debugging is required to test the communication capabilities of the product. In the previous development and debugging links, developers need to fully determine the data transmission requirements of the product before they can write the corresponding serial communication protocol according to the data transmission requirements of the product, which seriously slows down the progress of multi-device joint debugging. Even after the joint debugging, once the data transmission requirements of the product change, the developer needs to rewrite the serial communication protocol and perform multi-device joint debugging according to the rewritten serial communication protocol.

[0080] In the communication method provided by the present application, since the Wi-Fi module and the main control module communicate based on the universal serial port protocol, even if the data transmission requirements of the product are not fully determined, the Wi-Fi module and the main control module can also perform multi-device joint debugging based on the universal serial port protocol and a temporary device description file. In the later stage, if the data transmission requirements of the product change, it is only necessary to change the device description file without changing the universal serial port protocol. If the communication protocol is not modified, there is no need to re-combine multiple devices, thereby speeding up the debugging progress and saving later manpower consumption.

[0081] Even in some scenarios, even if the Wi-Fi module or main control module has not been developed or produced yet, you can use a simulator to simulate the Wi-Fi module or main control module for multi-device joint debugging based on the universal serial port protocol and a temporary device description file.

[0082] For example, when using a simulator to simulate the main control module of an electronic device, a main control simulator capable of sending a first message can be generated by parsing the device description file corresponding to the electronic device. In this way, when debugging, the developer of the Wi-Fi module can send the first message to communicate with the Wi-Fi module through the main control simulator to implement debugging between the Wi-Fi module and the main control module, thereby solving the dependence on electronic devices when debugging IoT-related programs.

[0083] When using a simulator to simulate the Wi-Fi module of an electronic device, the corresponding Wi-Fi simulator can also be generated by parsing the device description file corresponding to the electronic device and the communication protocol between the Wi-Fi module and other devices. In this way, the developer of the main control module can communicate with the main control module through the Wi-Fi simulator to debug the main control module. Developers of other electronic devices, such as developers of related applications (Application, APP) on mobile devices, can also communicate with the APP of the mobile device through the Wi-Fi simulator to debug the APP; the simulator can also generate simulators of other devices by parsing the communication protocol between the Wi-Fi module and other devices, such as the simulator of the related APP on the mobile device, so that the developer of the Wi-Fi module can directly use the APP simulator to communicate with the Wi-Fi module during debugging to debug the Wi-Fi module and APP. Through the above method, the problem of multi-terminal mutual dependence in the development and debugging of Internet of Things related programs can be solved to a certain extent, and the efficiency of development and debugging can be improved.

[0084] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not intended to limit the present application. Where possible, the execution order of one or more of the above steps may be adjusted, or may be selectively combined to obtain one or more other embodiments. Those skilled in the art may select and combine any of the above steps as needed, and all those that do not depart from the essence of the present application fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0085] In the communication scheme provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device (or a module in the electronic device) receives the first message sent by the first interactive party, the electronic device can parse the first message through the universal serial port protocol to obtain the first message body in the first message. Then, the electronic device can obtain the device description file corresponding to the first interactive party, parse the first message body according to the device description file, and obtain the first target data.

[0086] It should be noted that, since the main difference between different serial port protocols is the parsing rules of the message body, in the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the content other than the parsing rules of the message body can be independently made into a universal serial port protocol, and the parsing rules of the message body can be independently made into a device description file.

There is no need to design different serial port protocols for different devices, which can effectively improve the versatility of the universal serial port protocol. Moreover, when you want to expand the transmittable data type in the later stage, you only need to modify the corresponding device description file, and there is no need to redesign the universal serial port protocol, nor is there any need to retest the universal serial port protocol, etc., which greatly improves the extensibility of the universal serial port protocol and can save a lot of manpower and material resources.
