[0065] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of this application. However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods have been omitted so as not to obscure the description of this application with unnecessary detail.

[0066] The technical solution of this application will be described below through specific embodiments.

[0067] Reference Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a multi-channel switching method for transmitting power data according to an embodiment of this application, which may specifically include the following steps:

[0068] S101. Receive data pre-collection information sent by the communication front-end unit, wherein the data pre-collection information includes at least the power data to be collected within the collection period.

[0069] It should be noted that this method can be applied to a communication module, that is, the execution subject of this application embodiment is a communication module, which can be a communication module that supports multiple data transmission methods.

[0070] For example, the communication module supports both BeiDou satellite data transmission and mobile data transmission. Each data transmission method communicates with the management platform through a corresponding data transmission channel. For instance, the communication module can receive instructions from the management platform via the BeiDou satellite data transmission channel and transmit various types of data to the management platform in response to these instructions. Alternatively, the communication module can also communicate with the management platform via mobile data transmission channels using mobile data transmission methods such as 4G public networks.

[0071] Typically, communication between the communication module and the management platform is achieved through direct interaction between the communication module and the communication front-end of the management platform. The communication front-end can forward instructions from the management platform to the communication module, and can also receive data transmitted by the communication module and forward the data to the management platform.

[0072] In this embodiment, the management platform can send pre-collection information to the communication module via a communication front-end unit before planning to collect power data. The pre-collection information may include power data planned to be collected within the specified collection period.

[0073] It should be understood that the data collection period can be a period of time after the current time, relative to the current time. For example, if the current time is 10:00 AM on March 3rd, then the data collection period should be later than the current time. For instance, the data collection time could start at 10:00 AM on March 5th.

[0074] Typically, a data collection period is a time segment with a start and end time. For example, the data collection period might be from 10:00 AM on March 5th to 10:00 AM on March 6th.

[0075] The management platform sends pre-collection information to the communication module via the communication front-end unit. This can be seen as the management platform notifying the communication module in advance of the time when a large amount of power data needs to be collected. The communication module can then prepare accordingly.

[0076] S102. Based on the data pre-collection information, determine the channel working mode for transmitting the power data.

[0077] In this embodiment, the communication module supports multiple data transmission methods and establishes multiple data transmission channels between itself and the management platform or communication front-end. The efficiency of data transmission from the communication module to the communication front-end varies depending on the channel operating mode.

[0078] Therefore, after receiving the pre-acquisition information from the communication front-end unit, the communication module can determine the channel operating mode for transmitting power data based on this pre-acquisition information. The channel operating mode determined by the communication module can be seen as the optimal operating mode predetermined in advance based on the pre-acquisition information.

[0079] In one possible implementation of the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, in step S102, determining the channel operating mode for transmitting power data based on the pre-acquisition information may specifically include the following steps S1021-S1023:

[0080] S1021. Based on the data pre-collection information, determine the type of power data to be collected within the collection time period.

[0081] In this embodiment, the data pre-collection information may include information about when and what type of power data the management platform will collect. Therefore, the communication module can directly determine the type of power data that the management platform plans to collect during the collection period from the data pre-collection information.

[0082] S1022. Determine the amount of power data collected for each of the aforementioned types.

[0083] After determining the type of power data to be collected, the communication module can also determine the amount of power data to be collected for each type.

[0084] In one possible implementation, the amount of each type of power data collected can be specified by the management platform in the data pre-collection information. This allows the communication module to intuitively and accurately determine the amount of power data to be collected for each type.

[0085] In another possible implementation, the amount of each type of power data collected can be determined by the communication module based on the amount of data stored in its real-time database. Typically, the amount of each type of power data collected will not exceed the amount of each type of power data already stored in the communication module's real-time database.

[0086] 1023. Determine the channel operating mode for transmitting the power data based on the type and the amount of data collected.

[0087] In this embodiment of the application, the type of power data to be collected in the data pre-collection information and the amount of power data to be collected for each type can be used to determine which channel working mode to select to transmit power data to the management platform.

[0088] For example, if the power data to be collected is easily lost, the communication module can use a primary / backup mode to transmit this type of power data. In this way, by designating at least two data transmission channels as one primary and one backup, the system can promptly switch to the backup data transmission channel if the primary data transmission channel fails.

[0089] For example, when the planned volume of power data is extremely large, a single data transmission channel may not be able to complete the transmission quickly. In such cases, the communication module can adopt a multi-master mode, using multiple data transmission channels simultaneously to transmit the power data.

[0090] In one possible implementation of this application, when the communication module determines the channel operating mode for transmitting power data based on the type and the amount of data collected, it can determine the quantity of target types. In this application embodiment, the target types can be types with a collection volume greater than a preset data volume, that is, types with a larger planned data volume.

[0091] In one possible implementation, when the number of target types is greater than or equal to two, the communication module can determine that the channel for transmitting power data is operating in a multi-master mode.

[0092] When there is only one type of target, the communication module can determine the main / standby mode of the channel for transmitting power data.

[0093] When there is no target type, that is, when the amount of power data collected for any type is less than the preset amount, the communication module can determine that the channel for transmitting power data is in automatic mode.

[0094] The three channel operating modes described above will be introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0095] like Figure 3 The diagram shown is a schematic of an automatic mode provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0096] In automatic mode, after the communication module powers on, both the BeiDou satellite data transmission channel and the mobile data transmission channel will power on and enter a ready state. The communication module can automatically determine the optimal channel based on the dual-channel link status of the BeiDou satellite data transmission channel and the mobile data transmission channel, the SIM card insertion status, the BeiDou visible satellite beam, the BeiDou satellite signal strength, and the mobile signal strength. The communication module automatically switches to the optimal channel to transmit power data.

[0097] like Figure 4 The diagram shown is a schematic of a primary / standby mode provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0098] In primary / backup mode, the communication module and the communication front-end select either the BeiDou satellite data transmission channel or the mobile data transmission channel as the primary channel according to a preset method. The primary channel is active, while the backup channel is inactive by default. When the communication front-end manually or automatically determines that the communication reliability of the current primary channel is low, such as detecting low online rate or weak signal strength, it can issue a primary / backup channel switching command. This command is initiated by the communication front-end. After receiving the command to switch from the BeiDou satellite data transmission channel to the mobile data transmission channel, or vice versa, the communication module stops the primary channel's transmission and reception processing, disconnects the primary channel's communication link, releases primary channel resources, shuts down the primary channel device's power, and activates the backup channel device. After initialization, self-test, and online processing, the backup channel connects to the communication front-end, enters active mode, switches from the backup channel to the primary channel, and finally feeds back the switching result to the communication front-end. If the channel switching fails, primary channel communication is restored.

[0099] like Figure 5 The diagram shown is a schematic of a multi-master station mode provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0100] The communication module can be configured to operate in dual-master station mode. In dual-master station mode, both the BeiDou satellite data transmission channel and the mobile data transmission channel of the communication module are operational, connecting to different communication front-end units and accessing different management master stations. The two channels operate independently, responding independently to data requests from the master stations. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the two master stations can choose different power protocols and communication modules to communicate. For example, master station 1 uses power protocol 1 (e.g., DLT / 376.1 protocol) to request voltage data from the terminal, while master station 2 uses power protocol 2 (e.g., local communication protocol) to request energy data from the terminal. By selecting different channels, the two channels can operate independently without affecting each other.

[0101] In another possible implementation of this application embodiment, the channel operating mode determined by the communication module based on the data pre-acquisition information can be a combined mode, i.e., a channel operating mode combination. The communication module can determine the channel operating mode combination used for transmitting power data based on the data pre-acquisition information. The aforementioned channel operating mode combination can consist of multiple channel operating modes with different priorities. Different priorities indicate the order in which these multiple channel operating mode combinations are used preferentially during switching.

[0102] For example, a combination of channel operating modes includes automatic mode, primary / standby mode, and multi-master mode simultaneously. Multi-master mode has the highest priority (first priority); primary / standby mode has the next highest priority (second priority); and automatic mode has the lowest priority (third priority). Therefore, when switching modes, the channel operating mode can be switched to the first-priority multi-master mode first.

[0103] S103. When the start time of the acquisition period arrives, switch multiple data transmission channels according to the channel working mode.

[0104] In this embodiment of the application, the data collection period is a continuous period of time, which has a start time and an end time. For example, in the aforementioned example, the data collection period lasts from 10:00 AM on March 5th to 10:00 AM on March 6th. In this example, the start time of the data collection period is 10:00 AM on March 5th, and the end time is 8:00 AM on March 6th.

[0105] When the start time of the data collection period arrives, the management platform begins sending instructions to the communication module according to the pre-collected data information, instructing the communication module to collect the corresponding power data. At this time, the communication module can switch its own channel operating mode to a pre-determined mode. For example, switching to multi-master mode or master-slave mode.

[0106] It should be noted that if the communication module is currently in the same channel working mode as the determined channel working mode before the start time of the data collection period, there is no need to switch.

[0107] For example, if the communication module determines that it needs to switch the channel working mode to the primary / backup mode at the start of the data collection period based on the data pre-collection information, and the communication module is actually in the primary / backup mode before that, then there is no need to switch.

[0108] In one possible implementation of the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 As shown, in S103, when the start time of the acquisition period arrives, switching multiple data transmission channels according to the channel working mode can specifically include the following steps S1031-S1032:

[0109] S1031. When the start time of the acquisition period arrives, the multiple data transmission channels are switched to the first priority channel working mode.

[0110] S1032. After a preset time, the multiple data transmission channels are switched to the channel working mode of the second priority, where the first priority is higher than the second priority.

[0111] In this embodiment of the application, if the channel working mode determined by the communication module based on the data pre-collection information is a combination of channel working modes, the combination may include multiple channel working modes. In this case, the communication module can switch according to the priority of each channel working mode.

[0112] For example, in the aforementioned example, the channel operating mode combination includes automatic mode, primary / standby mode, and multi-master mode. Multi-master mode has the highest priority (first priority); primary / standby mode has the next highest priority (second priority); and automatic mode has the lowest priority (third priority). Therefore, when the start time of the data collection period arrives, the communication module can first switch multiple data transmission channels to the first priority channel operating mode, i.e., multi-master mode. In multi-master mode, multiple data transmission channels can operate independently, transmitting power data to different master stations respectively.

[0113] After the communication module completes the switching of the channel working mode, it can feed back the switching results of multiple data transmission channels to the communication front-end, so that the communication front-end can interact with the communication module according to the switched mode.

[0114] In this embodiment of the application, after multiple data transmission channels have been working in the first priority channel working mode for a period of time, the communication module can switch to the second priority channel working mode, that is, the primary and backup mode.

[0115] By switching between multiple channel operating modes, the advantages of each mode can be maximized, improving the efficiency of power data transmission. For example, at the start of data collection, the management platform may request power data of multiple types, each with potentially enormous amounts of data. In this case, a multi-master mode is suitable. As time progresses, the amount of power data to be collected decreases, and after a certain period, only a few types of power data may still require significant collection. At this point, a master-slave mode can be switched to reduce the power consumption of the communication module caused by the multi-master mode.

[0116] In another possible implementation of this application embodiment, after switching multiple data transmission channels according to the channel working mode, when the end time of the acquisition period arrives, the communication module can determine whether the planned power data in the data pre-acquisition information has been transmitted completely. If the planned power data in the data pre-acquisition information has been transmitted completely, the communication module can switch multiple data transmission channels to the default mode. For example, the default mode can be the aforementioned automatic mode. If the planned power data in the data pre-acquisition information has not been transmitted completely, it indicates that the communication module still needs to continue working. At this time, the communication module can continuously transmit power data to the communication front-end in the current channel working mode.

[0117] In this embodiment, by receiving data pre-collection information sent by the communication front-end, the communication module can know in advance the power data that the management platform plans to collect during the collection period, thus enabling targeted preparation. Specifically, the communication module can determine the channel operating mode for transmitting power data based on the data pre-collection information. When the start time of the collection period arrives, the communication module can switch between multiple data transmission channels according to the determined channel operating mode. By applying the method provided in this embodiment, the power data that the management platform plans to collect can be known in advance, and the channel operating mode can be arranged accordingly, accurately switching to the appropriate channel operating mode based on the actual data collection needs of the management platform.

[0118] It should be noted that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
