[0001] This application relates to the field of high-speed networking, and more specifically, to a network distribution method, a network distribution system, and a user terminal. Background Technology

[0002] With the gradual intelligentization of manufacturing, a large number of high-end intelligent technologies have been widely applied to product development. The so-called intelligentization and informatization are not merely a simple addition of high-end intelligent technologies and manufactured products, but rather a process of mutual integration between intelligentization and manufactured products. The connotation and boundaries of high-end intelligent technologies are rapidly evolving in tandem with the continuous development of intelligent technologies and manufactured products. Therefore, the high degree of integration between intelligent technologies and manufactured products determines the importance of user operation and experience.

[0003] Currently, most user terminals (e.g., mobile phones) are configured via Wi-Fi hotspots, resulting in a limited configuration method and an inability to choose the optimal approach. Furthermore, current technology limitations, fluctuating network environments, and varying user operating habits further restrict configuration options. Moreover, existing configuration interfaces are cumbersome, experience long latency periods, and have low connectivity rates. User network configuration is the first step in experiencing smart devices; errors in this process directly impact the overall user experience. Current configuration methods fail to meet users' needs for rapid network connectivity. Summary of the Invention

In response to the third predetermined operation, it performs Bluetooth network configuration with the device under control. When the network configuration method is manual Wi-Fi network configuration, the display screen shows a manual Wi-Fi network configuration screen, which displays a fourth control.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this application described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0030] It should be understood that when an element (such as a layer, film, region, or substrate) is described as being "on" another element, the element may be directly on the other element, or there may be an intermediate element present. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, when an element is described as being "connected" to another element, the element may be "directly connected" to the other element, or "connected" to the other element via a third element.

[0031] As described in the background section, existing technologies cannot independently select the optimal network configuration method, and the network configuration interface is cumbersome to operate, has a long network configuration lag time, and has a low connection rate of network configuration devices, resulting in a poor user experience. In order to solve the problems of user terminals being unable to independently select the optimal network configuration method and having a low connection rate of devices leading to a poor user experience in existing technologies, embodiments of this application provide a network configuration method, a network configuration system, and a user terminal.

[0032] According to an embodiment of this application, a network configuration method is provided, wherein the target user terminal can be a mobile phone, tablet, computer, etc. Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of a power distribution method according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0033] Step S101: The target user terminal receives the data packet of the device to be controlled sent by the server. The data packet of the device to be controlled includes information representing the network configuration method of the device to be controlled and information representing the network load of each of the network configuration methods. The data packet of the device to be controlled is sent from the device to the server. The network load of the network configuration method refers to the number of user terminals that have successfully configured with the device to be controlled using the network configuration method.

[0034] Among them, the devices to be controlled can be a variety of devices such as household appliances (e.g., air conditioners) and in-vehicle intelligent devices. They are highly versatile, widely applicable, and can be promoted and used across the board.

[0035] Step S102: The target user terminal determines the target network configuration method based on the data packet of the device under control. The target network configuration method refers to the network configuration method used when the target user terminal and the device under control perform network configuration.

[0036] Since the network distribution methods of the above-mentioned controlled devices may be one or more in actual applications, the specific implementation steps of step S102 are as follows:

[0037] Step S1021: When there is only one network distribution method for the device under control, the target user terminal determines the network distribution method of the device under control as the target network distribution method.

[0038] Step S1022: When there are multiple network distribution methods for the device under control, the target user terminal determines the network distribution method of the device under control corresponding to the smallest network load as the target network distribution method.

[0039] The above steps allow users to select any method that best suits the current network configuration status. In the process of connecting multiple types of network signals mixed and alternating, it can quickly access the optimal network configuration status data, making the network configuration faster, more adaptable, improving the network configuration success rate, and greatly enhancing the user experience.

[0040] To integrate manual Bluetooth network pairing, automatic Wi-Fi network pairing, and manual Wi-Fi network pairing into one system, and to address situations where simultaneous automatic, manual, and Bluetooth network pairing is required, the aforementioned network pairing methods include manual Bluetooth network pairing, manual Wi-Fi network pairing, and automatic Wi-Fi network pairing. Furthermore, these three network pairing methods can coexist without conflict; users do not need to manually select a network pairing method and can randomly select the most suitable method to complete the terminal device's network connection. Specifically, after the target user terminal determines the target network pairing method based on the data packet from the device to be controlled, and before the target user terminal uses the target network pairing method to pair with the device to be controlled, the method further includes:

[0041] Step S201: When the network configuration method is determined to be manual Bluetooth network configuration, the target user terminal stops sending network configuration request data and enters Bluetooth network configuration mode upon receiving a network configuration trigger command. If the target user terminal does not receive a network configuration trigger command within a first predetermined time, the target user terminal will automatically connect to the Bluetooth of the device to be controlled. The first predetermined time can be 2 minutes or 3 minutes.

[0042] In step S202, if the network configuration method is determined to be manual Wi-Fi network configuration, the target user terminal stops sending the network configuration request data and enters manual Wi-Fi network configuration mode upon receiving a network configuration trigger command. If the target user terminal does not receive a data packet representing the Wi-Fi account of the device under control within a second predetermined time, a prompt window will pop up prompting the user to search for the Wi-Fi account of the device under control in the settings page. The second predetermined time can be 2 minutes or 3 minutes.

[0043] Step S203: If the above network configuration method is determined to be the above automatic WIFI network configuration, the above target user terminal sends the above network configuration request data and enters the automatic network configuration mode.

[0044] Step S103: The target user terminal uses the target network configuration method to configure the network with the device to be controlled.

[0045] Because some users are not proficient in operating the target user terminal, in order to reduce the number of steps in the network configuration guidance interface and improve user operability, the display screen of the target user terminal shows a first control. During the process of the target user terminal using the target network configuration method to configure the network with the controlled device, the following steps are also included:

[0046] Step S1031: The target user terminal receives a first predetermined operation applied to the first control.

[0047] In step S1032, the target user terminal responds to the first predetermined operation by performing device initialization on the device under control. Device initialization refers to re-entering the device under control into the network distribution state. Specifically, the reset target user terminal experiences no lag during network distribution, resulting in smoother operation and a higher user experience.

[0048] Specifically, after initializing the controlled device in response to the first predetermined operation, the method further includes:

[0049] In step S1033, the target user terminal displays an identifier representing the network configuration method and a second control on its display screen; the target user terminal receives a second predetermined operation performed on the second control.

[0050] In step S1034, the target user terminal responds to the second predetermined operation by displaying network configuration information on its screen. This network configuration information includes network configuration progress information and network configuration success information. Specifically, the guidance interfaces for various network configuration methods are combined into one, resulting in a simpler interface, fewer steps, and improved user operability.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the above-mentioned network pairing method is manual Bluetooth pairing, the above-mentioned display screen shows a manual Bluetooth pairing screen, and the above-mentioned manual Bluetooth pairing screen shows a third control. The above-mentioned target user terminal receives a third predetermined operation applied to the above-mentioned third control; in response to the above-mentioned third predetermined operation, it performs Bluetooth pairing with the above-mentioned device under control; specifically, during the process of the above-mentioned target user terminal performing Bluetooth pairing with the above-mentioned device under control, the above-mentioned manual Bluetooth pairing screen also displays pairing progress information and pairing success information;

[0052] like Figure 3As shown, when the above-mentioned network configuration method is manual WIFI network configuration, the above-mentioned display screen shows a manual WIFI network configuration screen, and the above-mentioned manual WIFI network configuration screen shows a fourth control. The above-mentioned target user terminal receives a fourth predetermined operation applied to the above-mentioned fourth control; in response to the above-mentioned fourth predetermined operation, it performs WIFI network configuration with the above-mentioned device under control; specifically, during the process of the above-mentioned target user terminal and the above-mentioned device under control performing manual WIFI network configuration, the above-mentioned manual WIFI network configuration screen also displays network configuration progress information and network configuration success information.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, when the network configuration method is automatic Wi-Fi network configuration, the display screen shows the automatic Wi-Fi network configuration screen, which displays automatic network configuration information. Specifically, during the automatic Wi-Fi network configuration process between the target user terminal and the controlled device, the automatic Wi-Fi network configuration screen also displays network configuration progress information and network configuration success information.

[0054] In practical applications, the network configuration methods for the aforementioned devices to be controlled include at least one of the following: Bluetooth network configuration, automatic WIFI network configuration, and manual WIFI network configuration.

[0055] Specifically, in one optional embodiment, such as Figure 5 The image shows a specific manual Bluetooth pairing screen, which displays a prompt to not leave this page during the pairing process, as well as an indicator of whether the connection with the aforementioned device to be controlled has been successful.

[0056] In another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 6 The image shows a specific manual Wi-Fi configuration screen, which displays the Wi-Fi accounts of the connected devices to be controlled.

[0057] For example, such as Figure 7 The image shows an example of a specific automatic Wi-Fi network configuration screen, which displays a prompt that the user should not leave the page during the configuration process, as well as an indicator showing whether the connection with the aforementioned controlled device has been successful.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 8 The image shows an example of a specific three-in-one distribution network configuration, which displays an indicator of the proximity of the device to be controlled and an indicator of whether the device to be controlled has been detected.

[0059] In the network configuration method described in this application, the target user terminal first receives a data packet from the server representing the device to be controlled. This data packet includes information indicating the network configuration method of the device and information indicating the network load of each configuration method. The data packet is sent from the device to the server, and the network load of each configuration method refers to the number of user terminals that have successfully configured with the device using that method. Then, the target user terminal determines the target network configuration method based on the data packet. This target method refers to the network configuration method used when configuring the device with the target user terminal. Finally, the target user terminal uses the target network configuration method to configure the device. This method, by autonomously selecting the optimal network configuration method, can adapt to the complex and intermittent connection process of various network signals, quickly accessing the optimal network configuration status data. This avoids the problem in existing technologies where user terminals cannot autonomously select the optimal network configuration method, resulting in low connection rates and poor user experience. This improves the network configuration success rate and significantly enhances the user experience.

[0060] According to embodiments of this application, a user terminal is provided, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the system includes a receiving module, a determining module, and a network configuration module. The receiving module is used for the target user terminal to receive data packets from the device to be controlled sent by the server. The data packets include information representing the network configuration method of the device to be controlled and information representing the network load of each of the aforementioned network configuration methods. The data packets are sent from the device to the server, and the network load of each network configuration method refers to the number of user terminals that have successfully configured with the device using the aforementioned network configuration method. The determining module is used for the target user terminal to determine the target network configuration method based on the data packets. The target network configuration method refers to the network configuration method used when the target user terminal configures with the device to be controlled. The network configuration module is used for the target user terminal to configure with the device to be controlled using the target network configuration method.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the determining module includes a first determining unit and a second determining unit. The first determining unit is used to determine the target user terminal's network distribution method as the target network distribution method when there is only one network distribution method for the device under control. The second determining unit is used to determine the network distribution method corresponding to the smallest network load as the target network distribution method when there are multiple network distribution methods for the device under control. The device can allow the user to select any method best suited to the current network distribution state. In the case of a connection process with multiple types of network signals intermingling, it can quickly access the optimal network distribution state data, resulting in faster network distribution speed, stronger adaptability, improved network distribution success rate, and significantly enhanced user experience.

[0062] Specifically, the aforementioned network configuration methods include manual Bluetooth network configuration, manual Wi-Fi network configuration, and automatic Wi-Fi network configuration. The device further includes a first control module, a second control module, and a third control module. The first control module is used to stop sending network configuration request data when the network configuration method is determined to be manual Bluetooth network configuration, and to enter Bluetooth network configuration mode upon receiving a network configuration trigger command. The second control module is used to stop sending network configuration request data when the network configuration method is determined to be manual Wi-Fi network configuration, and to enter manual Wi-Fi network configuration mode upon receiving a network configuration trigger command. The third control module is used to send network configuration request data and enter automatic network configuration mode when the network configuration method is determined to be automatic Wi-Fi network configuration. This device integrates manual Bluetooth network configuration, automatic Wi-Fi network configuration, and manual Wi-Fi network configuration into one system, solving situations where simultaneous automatic, manual, and Bluetooth network configuration is required. Furthermore, the three network configuration methods can coexist without conflict, allowing users to randomly select the most suitable method to connect their terminal devices to the network without manually selecting a configuration method.

[0063] For example, the target user terminal displays a first control on its screen. The network configuration module includes a first receiving unit and an initialization unit. The first receiving unit is used by the target user terminal to receive a first predetermined operation applied to the first control. The initialization unit is used by the target user terminal to initialize the controlled device in response to the first predetermined operation. Device initialization refers to re-entering the controlled device into the network configuration state. After the reset, the target user terminal does not experience any lag during the network configuration process, resulting in smoother operation and a higher user experience.

[0064] In another example, the aforementioned power distribution module further includes a second receiving unit and a display unit. The target user terminal's display screen shows an identifier representing the power distribution method and a second control. The second receiving unit is used by the target user terminal to receive a second predetermined operation applied to the second control. The display unit is used by the target user terminal to display power distribution information on its display screen in response to the second predetermined operation. This power distribution information includes power distribution progress information and power distribution success information. By combining the guidance interfaces for multiple power distribution methods into one, the interface becomes simpler, the steps are reduced, and user operability is enhanced.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, the above-mentioned device further includes a first network configuration unit, a second network configuration unit, and a third network configuration unit. The first network configuration unit is configured to, when the network configuration method is manual Bluetooth network configuration, display a manual Bluetooth network configuration screen on the screen, and display a third control on the manual Bluetooth network configuration screen. The target user terminal receives a third predetermined operation applied to the third control. In response to the third predetermined operation, it performs Bluetooth network configuration with the device under control. The second network configuration unit is configured to, when the network configuration method is manual Wi-Fi network configuration, display a manual Wi-Fi network configuration screen on the screen, and display a fourth control on the manual Wi-Fi network configuration screen. The target user terminal receives a fourth predetermined operation applied to the fourth control. In response to the fourth predetermined operation, it performs Wi-Fi network configuration with the device under control. The third network configuration unit is configured to, when the network configuration method is automatic Wi-Fi network configuration, display an automatic Wi-Fi network configuration screen on the screen, and display automatic network configuration information on the automatic Wi-Fi network configuration screen. The aforementioned device can autonomously select the optimal network distribution method, adapt to the connection process of various types of network signals mixed and alternating, and quickly access the optimal network status data to be distributed.

[0066] Specifically, the network configuration method of the aforementioned controlled device includes at least one of the following: Bluetooth network configuration, automatic WIFI network configuration, and manual WIFI network configuration.

[0067] The user terminal of this application includes a receiving module, a determining module, and a network configuration module. The receiving module receives data packets from a server representing a device to be controlled. These data packets include information characterizing the network configuration method of the device and information characterizing the network load of each configuration method. The data packets are sent from the device to the server, and the network load of each configuration method refers to the number of user terminals that have successfully configured with the device using that method. The determining module determines a target network configuration method based on the data packets. This target method is the one used by the user terminal when configuring with the device. The network configuration module uses the target method to configure with the device. This device, by autonomously selecting the optimal network configuration method, can adapt to the complex and intermittent connection process of various network signals, quickly accessing the optimal network configuration status data. This avoids the problem in existing technologies where user terminals cannot autonomously select the optimal network configuration method, resulting in low connection rates and poor user experience. This improves the network configuration success rate and significantly enhances the user experience.

[0068] According to embodiments of this application, a power distribution network system is provided, such as... Figure 10As shown, the device includes a user terminal, a server, and a device to be controlled. The user terminal is used to execute any of the above-described network distribution methods. The server is communicatively connected to the user terminal, and the communication connection protocol used between the user terminal and the server is a message queue telemetry transmission protocol. The device to be controlled is communicatively connected to the server.

[0069] Currently, most IoT (Internet of Things) terminal devices in high-end manufacturing use hotspot networking or automatic networking. The latest status update of these IoT terminal devices is based on the App's (Application) 8-second proactive query mechanism. This means that after the device status changes, it takes up to 8 seconds to see the corresponding status data update on the App (in daily use, it also takes an average of 3-4 seconds). The main reason for the poor App user experience and slow refresh is that TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is located in the transport layer of the OSI (Open System Interconnection Reference Model) network model. It is responsible for grouping data transmitted from the application layer to ensure the integrity and order of data received by the terminal. However, most current IoT devices use TCP control links and rely on the App to actively query for updates. Faced with the massive data types of IoT smart terminal devices, this traditional data communication protocol (TCP protocol) can no longer meet the complex usage scenarios of IoT terminal devices. There is an urgent need for a lightweight, reliable, and efficient rule at the application layer to encapsulate the data first, rather than directly using the transport layer protocol for data transmission.

[0070] Meanwhile, most high-end manufacturing IoT terminal devices currently use a single Wi-Fi communication module for networking. This method involves numerous and complex configuration steps, limited by Wi-Fi security policies and the need for correct user operation, placing high demands on users. These factors contribute to significant difficulties in configuring high-end manufacturing IoT terminal devices, resulting in low success rates and numerous after-sales issues. Mainstream NFC configuration technology, however, is not widely applicable due to the limited availability of NFC functionality in all user phones. Therefore, its widespread use in configuring high-end manufacturing IoT terminal devices would also lead to a narrow range of applications. Currently, high-end manufacturing terminal devices are highly dependent on apps, demanding high configuration speed and success rates. Furthermore, some devices have increasingly stringent requirements for the accuracy of command issuance and real-time data updates. This significantly increases the demands on apps, requiring a more user-friendly interactive experience and more convenient functions.

[0071] The MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) protocol replaces the traditional polling method for state updates and command issuance, ensuring message delivery quality at the protocol layer and guaranteeing timely message arrival. At the application layer, data is encapsulated using the MQTT protocol before being transmitted in packets at the transport layer. This eliminates the previous TCP-based mechanism of periodically querying state data updates, instead publishing messages promptly through topics (containing the latest state data). Any object subscribed to the corresponding topic can immediately receive the latest message, completing the state update for IoT terminal devices. The average state data update speed has been reduced from 3-4 seconds to approximately 1 second, significantly improving the state update speed of IoT terminal devices.

[0072] The network distribution system described in this application, employing any of the aforementioned network distribution methods, firstly involves the target user terminal receiving a data packet from the server representing the device to be controlled. This data packet includes information characterizing the network distribution method of the device and information characterizing the network load of each distribution method. The data packet is sent from the device to the server, and the network load of each distribution method refers to the number of user terminals that have successfully connected to the device using that method. Next, the target user terminal determines the target network distribution method based on the data packet. This target method refers to the network distribution method used when connecting the target user terminal to the device. Finally, the target user terminal connects to the device using the target network distribution method. This method, by autonomously selecting the optimal network distribution method, can adapt to the complex and intermittent connection process of various network signals, quickly accessing the optimal network state data. This avoids the problem in existing technologies where user terminals cannot autonomously select the optimal network distribution method, resulting in low connection rates and poor user experience. This improves the network distribution success rate and significantly enhances the user experience.

[0082] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects:

[0083] 1) In the above-described network configuration method of this application, the target user terminal first receives a data packet from the server representing the device to be controlled. This data packet includes information characterizing the network configuration method of the device to be controlled and information characterizing the network load of each configuration method. The data packet is sent from the device to the server, and the network load of each configuration method refers to the number of user terminals that have successfully configured with the device using that configuration method. Then, the target user terminal determines the target configuration method based on the data packet. The target configuration method refers to the configuration method used when configuring with the device. Finally, the target user terminal uses the target configuration method to configure with the device. This method, by autonomously selecting the optimal configuration method, can adapt to the connection process of various types of network signals mixed and alternating, and quickly access the optimal configuration status data. This avoids the problem in the prior art where the user terminal cannot autonomously select the optimal configuration method, resulting in a low connection rate and poor user experience. It improves the network configuration success rate and greatly enhances the user experience.

[0084] 2) The user terminal of this application includes a receiving module, a determining module, and a network configuration module. The receiving module is used for the target user terminal to receive data packets of the device to be controlled sent by the server. The data packets of the device to be controlled include information representing the network configuration method of the device to be controlled and information representing the network load of each of the above network configuration methods. The data packets of the device to be controlled are sent from the device to the server. The network load of the above network configuration method refers to the number of user terminals that have successfully configured with the device to be controlled using the above network configuration method. The determining module is used for the target user terminal to determine the target network configuration method based on the data packets of the device to be controlled. The target network configuration method refers to the network configuration method used by the target user terminal when configuring with the device to be controlled. The network configuration module is used for the target user terminal to configure with the device to be controlled using the target network configuration method. The aforementioned device can adapt to the connection process of various types of network signals mixed and alternating by autonomously selecting the optimal network configuration method, and quickly access the optimal network configuration status data. This avoids the problem of poor user experience caused by the low connection rate of user terminals and the inability of user terminals to autonomously select the optimal network configuration method in the existing technology, thereby improving the network configuration success rate and greatly enhancing the user experience.

[0085] 3) The network distribution system described in this application, employing any of the aforementioned network distribution methods, firstly involves the target user terminal receiving a data packet from the server representing the device to be controlled. This data packet includes information characterizing the network distribution method of the device and information characterizing the network load of each distribution method. The data packet is sent from the device to the server, and the network load of each distribution method refers to the number of user terminals that have successfully networked with the device using that method. Then, the target user terminal determines the target network distribution method based on the data packet. The target network distribution method refers to the method used when the target user terminal network-connects with the device. Finally, the target user terminal network-connects with the device using the target network distribution method. This method, by autonomously selecting the optimal network distribution method, can adapt to the complex and intermittent connection process of various network signals, quickly accessing the optimal network state data. This avoids the problem in existing technologies where user terminals cannot autonomously select the optimal network distribution method, resulting in low connection rates and poor user experience. It improves the network distribution success rate and significantly enhances the user experience.
