[0058] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0059] The network distribution method for lighting equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 In the application environment shown. Among them, the terminal 102 communicates with the server 104 through the network. The data storage system can store data that the server 104 needs to process. The data storage system can be integrated on the server 104, or it can be placed on the cloud or other network servers. Among them, the terminal 102 can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smart phones, tablets, Internet of Things devices and portable wearable devices. The Internet of Things devices can be smart speakers, smart TVs, smart air conditioners, smart car-mounted devices, etc. Portable wearable devices can be smart watches, smart bracelets, head-mounted devices, etc. The server 104 can be implemented as an independent server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers.

[0060] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a network distribution method suitable for lighting equipment is provided, and the method is applied to Figure 1 Taking the terminal 102 in FIG. 1 as an example, the method includes the following steps:

[0061] Step S22: Generate network distribution information at the network distribution controller according to the network distribution requirements, and broadcast the network distribution information to the lighting devices.

[0062] Among them, the network distribution requirements here include the network distribution mode information of whether the lighting equipment is expected to be in single-point configuration or batch configuration. The network distribution requirements are broadcast by the network distribution controller to the network composed of multiple lighting devices, so that after receiving the network distribution information, the lighting equipment can send a broadcast frame (unprovisionbeacon) declaring itself as an unconnected device to the network distribution controller, and communicate with the network distribution controller to complete the network distribution operation.

[0063] Step S24: parse the network distribution information to determine the network distribution mode corresponding to the lighting device.

[0064] Among them, since the network distribution information contains specific content representing the network distribution requirements, the lighting equipment needs to parse the network distribution information to obtain the network distribution mode in order to determine the lighting equipment that meets the network distribution requirements.

[0065] Step S26: Obtain the signal strength value of the lighting device receiving the distribution network information.

[0066] When receiving network configuration information, each lighting device in the network can obtain its own signal strength value along with the network configuration information reception status. Due to different distances, the signal strength values ​​corresponding to the network configuration information vary for each lighting device. Based on these differences, the lighting device selection operation in the subsequent step S can be completed.

[0067] Step S28: Filter the lighting devices that meet the preset conditions from the signal strength values ​​as target lighting devices, and control the target lighting devices to cooperate with the network distribution controller to complete the corresponding network distribution mode to complete the network distribution operation.

[0068] Among them, the target lighting device is selected from a plurality of lighting devices according to whether the signal strength value meets the preset conditions, and then the target lighting device is controlled to send a broadcast frame to the distribution network controller to join the network built by the distribution network controller to complete the network distribution operation.

[0069] In the above-mentioned network distribution method applicable to lighting equipment, the network distribution controller only needs to send the network distribution information once to select the required lighting equipment to complete the network distribution operation, and no incorrect connection will occur; at the same time, it can also support different network distribution requirements of single-point configuration or batch configuration.

[0070] In one embodiment, the network distribution controller generates network distribution information according to the network distribution demand and broadcasts the network distribution information to the lighting devices, i.e., step SS22, including:

[0071] Step SS32: constructing a message structure for performing lighting equipment network distribution operations;

[0072] Step SS34: The distribution network controller determines the distribution network data including the distribution network mode according to the distribution network requirements, and fills the distribution network data into the message structure to obtain the distribution network information;

[0073] Step SS36: broadcast the network distribution information to the lighting devices.

[0074] In practice, to accurately represent the details of network configuration requirements, a pre-built message structure for lighting device network configuration operations has been implemented. Based on this message structure, standard network configuration information is obtained by simply filling in the network configuration requirements in the format specified by the message structure. Upon receiving the network configuration information, the lighting device only needs to parse the corresponding fields to determine the network configuration details requested by the network controller.

[0075] A typical message structure is as follows Figure 3As shown, the message type is used to describe the purpose of the message structure. For the technical solution of this embodiment, the purpose is "network distribution"; the transmission mode corresponds to the specific type of network distribution, which in this embodiment is "unicast" for single-point configuration and "multicast" for batch configuration; the group number is the group name information or serial number that the network distribution controller wants the lighting equipment to join the group, which is only for the batch configuration status; the custom content is the specific requirements added for specific network distribution needs, such as some specific parameters of the current network. If there are no specific requirements, it can be left blank.

[0076] In the specific implementation process, the distribution network data including the distribution network mode will be filled into the Figure 3 The network distribution information is obtained from the message structure shown, and then the network distribution information is broadcast to the network composed of multiple lighting devices.

[0077] Common network distribution requirements (i.e. Figure 3 The fields corresponding to the transmission mode in the config file include a single-point configuration mode that requires only one lighting device for networking, and a batch configuration mode that requires at least two lighting devices for networking. The following describes the above two situations respectively.

[0078] 1) Single point configuration

[0079] In one embodiment, a lighting device that meets a preset condition is selected from the signal strength value as a target lighting device, and the target lighting device is controlled to cooperate with the network distribution controller to complete the corresponding network distribution mode to complete the network distribution operation, that is, step SS28, including:

[0080] Step SS42: If the network configuration mode is single-point configuration, select the lighting device with the highest signal strength value as the target lighting device, control the target lighting device to exchange information with the network configuration controller, and perform network configuration operations according to the single-point configuration.

[0081] In practice, if only one lighting device needs to be selected for network configuration, the lighting device with the highest signal strength value can be selected from the multiple lighting devices for network configuration. To simplify the network configuration operation process, the operation of selecting the lighting device with the highest signal strength value is transferred to the network side composed of lighting devices. The specific execution step S is as follows:

[0082] Step SS422: Select the lighting device with the highest signal strength value as the target lighting device.

[0083] Step SS424: Control the target lighting device to send a network configuration request broadcast including its own unique device identifier;

[0084] Step SS426: Instruct the network configuration controller to respond to the network configuration request broadcast to complete the network configuration operation.

[0085] The specific operation of selecting the lighting device with the highest signal strength value, i.e., step SS282, may typically use a negotiation mechanism, specifically:

[0086] Each lighting device that receives the network distribution information broadcasts the corresponding signal strength value. After receiving the broadcasted signal strength value, each lighting device internally analyzes the signal strength values ​​broadcast by other lighting devices and compares the resulting signal strength value with the signal strength value it received when receiving the network distribution information. Only when its own signal strength value is higher than the signal strength value sent by other lighting devices is the current lighting device designated as the target lighting device. To ensure network distribution efficiency, the duration of this signal strength comparison within a lighting device needs to be limited.

[0087] Next, step SS284 and step SS286 are executed in sequence to complete the information interaction with the distribution network controller, so that the distribution network controller sends a distribution network invitation to the target lighting device, and the target device completes the network access.

[0088] 2) Batch configuration

[0089] In one embodiment, a lighting device that meets a preset condition is selected from the signal strength value as a target lighting device, and the target lighting device is controlled to cooperate with the network distribution controller to complete the corresponding network distribution mode to complete the network distribution operation. Step SS28 includes:

[0090] Step SS52: If the network configuration mode is batch configuration, select target lighting devices with signal strength values ​​higher than a threshold and send a network configuration request broadcast;

[0091] Step SS54, responding to the network configuration request broadcast to complete the network configuration operation of the target lighting device;

[0092] Step SS56: The target lighting device that has completed the network configuration operation is instructed to perform network configuration in collaboration with the lighting devices that have not yet performed network configuration based on the invitation mechanism.

[0093] In practice, if the network configuration requirement specifies batch configuration, the process differs from the aforementioned single-point configuration. Single-point configuration only requires selecting the lighting device with the highest signal strength value, while batch configuration requires selecting a certain number of target lighting devices based on a preset threshold and prioritizing network configuration. The prioritized target lighting devices then initiate network configuration operations for the remaining lighting devices based on an invitation mechanism.

[0094] Specifically, step SS52 is executed to obtain, as target lighting devices, lighting devices whose signal strength values ​​when receiving the network configuration information broadcast from the network configuration controller are above a threshold. Then, step SS54 is executed to instruct the target lighting devices to broadcast a network configuration request containing their unique device identifiers. The network configuration controller responds to the broadcast request and completes the network configuration operation for the target lighting devices.

[0095] It's important to note that when the target lighting device broadcasts a network configuration request, it also includes the group number from the network configuration information to distinguish different groups. Furthermore, after the target lighting device completes the network configuration operation, it is instructed to replace the network configuration controller and transmit network configuration information within the current spatial range, carrying the group number of the group it has joined. This allows lighting devices that have not yet been networked to join the same group as the target lighting device based on the received network configuration information. Specifically, step SS56 includes the following details:

[0096] Step SS562, obtaining the area group number of the target lighting device that has completed the network distribution operation;

[0097] Step SS564: Instruct the target lighting device to broadcast secondary network distribution information carrying the area group number;

[0098] Step SS566: Control the lighting devices that have not yet been networked to complete the network distribution operation based on the secondary network distribution information.

[0099] During implementation, the current target lighting device has completed the network distribution operation. Next, the target lighting device needs to replace the network distribution controller and continue to send secondary network distribution information in the network composed of lighting devices, so that the lighting devices that have not been networked can complete the network distribution operation according to the secondary network distribution device.

[0100] Considering the need for grouped configuration in batch configuration scenarios, and to ensure that lighting devices within the same space are uniformly controlled, it's preferred to group lighting devices within the same space or a limited range into the same group. To meet this grouping requirement, the target lighting device must send secondary network configuration information with a regional group number. This regional group number can be the designated group number within the network configuration information received by the target lighting device from the network configuration controller, or it can be the unique device identifier of the target lighting device itself. This way, lighting devices that complete network configuration based on the secondary network configuration information sent by the target device will be added to the same group as the target lighting device, facilitating unified management.

[0101] It's important to note that, regardless of whether configuration is for a single point or batch configuration, each lighting device must broadcast a notification of its completion after completing the network configuration operation. This allows the network configuration controller to determine whether there are any lighting devices currently undergoing network configuration. If it determines that all lighting devices have completed network configuration, the network configuration operation is terminated. Furthermore, if multiple target lighting devices receive network configuration requests from lighting devices that have not yet completed network configuration, to avoid duplicate transmissions, the lighting device with the highest signal strength value among the multiple target lighting devices will be responsible for managing the transmission and reception of the lighting devices that have not yet completed network configuration.

[0102] In one embodiment, before the network distribution controller generates network distribution information according to the network distribution requirements and broadcasts the network distribution information to the lighting devices (i.e., step SS22), the method further includes:

[0103] Step SS20: Control the lighting device to reduce the radio frequency signal transmission power.

[0104] Step SS21: Restore the radio frequency signal transmission power of the lighting device that has completed the network distribution operation.

[0105] In practice, when no network conditions are configured, lighting devices are controlled to operate in a low-power transmission state. This has two advantages: first, it prevents the device from receiving information from other remote devices; second, low power ensures that all nodes communicate only within a short distance. Inconsistent power levels can lead to large errors in distance estimation using RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication), the signal strength value in this embodiment. After the lighting device completes the network configuration operation, the RF signal transmission power can be restored to normal to respond to subsequent normal control operations from the network configuration controller.

[0106] In this embodiment, network distribution information corresponding to the network distribution requirements is generated, and then single-point configuration or batch configuration of lighting equipment is completed based on the network distribution information. The network distribution controller only needs to send the network distribution information once to complete the network distribution operation. Compared with the existing technology, it can save operating procedures and avoid the occurrence of repeated network distribution behaviors.

Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders.
