[0068] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects:

[0069] The first device in this disclosure sends network configuration information to the second device via radio frequency communication, eliminating the need for manual network configuration by the user to add the second device to the local area network (LAN) where the first device is located. Furthermore, after the second device joins the LAN via radio frequency communication, it triggers the activation of the debugging function, allowing the first device to debug the second device within the LAN.

In addition, this disclosure establishes radio frequency communication to obtain network configuration information and then performs debugging within the LAN. Considering that wireless connections based on LANs are superior to radio frequency communication connections in terms of connection distance, stability, and transmission speed, this disclosure is more convenient for users and improves debugging efficiency compared to debugging via radio frequency communication.

[0081] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0082] ADB is a client-server program consisting of three components: a client, which sends commands and runs on the server; a daemon process called adbd, which runs commands on the Android device as a background process; and a server, which manages communication between the client and the daemon process and runs as a background process on the PC. When a user launches an ADB client, the client first checks if an ADB server process is running. If not, it starts the server process. After starting, the server binds to the local Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port 5037 and listens for commands from ADB clients. Then, the server establishes connections with all running Android devices. It searches for emulators or Android devices by scanning odd-numbered ports between 5555 and 5585. Once the server finds the ADB daemon process adbd, it establishes a connection to the corresponding port. The daemon process running on the Android device continuously queries the received debug commands and the results of the sent debug commands, providing debugging information for maintenance personnel to analyze and resolve faults.

[0083] Figure 1 This is a device debugging method flow shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, the device debugging method applied to the first device includes the following steps:

[0084] S11. Establish radio frequency communication connection with the second device;

[0085] S12. Based on the radio frequency communication connection, send network configuration information to the second device; the network configuration information is used for the second device to join the local area network where the first device is located and to trigger the start of debugging function.

[0086] S13. Debug the second device within the local area network.

[0087] In embodiments of this disclosure, the first device includes, but is not limited to, a personal computer, and the second device may be a smartphone, a tablet computer, or a smartphone emulator.

[0088] Both the first and second devices are point-to-point radio frequency (RF) devices. In step S11, the first device establishes an RF communication connection with the second device. This RF communication connection can be a Bluetooth connection, a Near Field Communication (NFC) connection, or an infrared communication connection, etc.

[0089] Figure 2 The image shown is an example of a personal computer and an Android phone establishing near-field communication. Figure 2 As shown, the personal computer is the first device, and the Android phone is the second device. When a user wants to debug their Android phone, they simply need to bring the NFC-enabled phone close to the NFC module's sensing area on the personal computer to establish a radio frequency communication connection.

[0090] In step S12, the first device sends network configuration information to the second device based on the radio frequency communication connection, enabling the second device to join the local area network where the first device is located and to enable the debugging function. It should be noted that the second device can only accept debugging from the first device in step S13 after enabling the debugging function. For example, the second device can enable the debugging function by actively turning on the debugging switch.

[0091] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the network configuration information includes at least a wireless network identifier and may also include a password corresponding to the wireless network identifier. For example, for a public network without a password, the network configuration information only needs to include the wireless network identifier, while for a private network, the network configuration information needs to include both the wireless network identifier and the password. The wireless network identifier can be a Service Set Identifier (SSID), which is used to distinguish different networks. The SSID can be the name of a local area network (LAN), and devices with the same SSID can communicate with each other within their respective LANs.

[0092] Taking an Android device as an example, where the first device performs ADB debugging on the second device, the standard Android platform supports Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface connection debugging. This means the personal device connects to the Android device via USB cable for ADB, and the personal computer sends ADB debugging commands to the Android device, which then sends debugging information back to the personal computer. Additionally, the standard Android platform also supports remote ADB connection to the Android device using Wi-Fi wireless communication. This means the personal computer and Android device connect to the same wireless network, and the personal computer sends ADB debugging commands and receives debugging information from the Android device. When the Android device's USB port is occupied or malfunctioning, the advantages of using Wi-Fi for ADB debugging become apparent. Furthermore, even in scenarios where the personal computer and Android device are far apart, Wi-Fi-based ADB can still accomplish the task effectively.

[0093] However, using the ADB debugging method via Wi-Fi requires connecting the PC and Android device to the same Wi-Fi network and manually enabling the Android device's wireless debugging switch. For example, the user needs to go to the settings interface and tap the build number seven times to display the wireless debugging switch and enable the debugging function. As you can see, the operation is very cumbersome, which is inconvenient for both developers and testers.

[0094] Another solution is to debug based on point-to-point radio frequency communication. However, this solution does not reduce the preparation work on the Android device. For example, the user still needs to manually turn on the debug switch. Moreover, the distance, stability and transmission speed of the radio frequency connection are not as good as the Wi-Fi connection.

[0095] To address this, this disclosure utilizes a radio frequency (RF) communication connection to send network configuration information to the second device. This eliminates the need for manual network configuration by the user to add the second device to the local area network (LAN) where the first device is located. Furthermore, once the second device joins the LAN via the RF communication connection, it triggers the activation of the debugging function, allowing the first device to debug the second device within the LAN. This also eliminates the need for manual user intervention to activate the debugging function, thus providing intelligence and improving the user experience. In addition, this disclosure establishes RF communication to obtain network configuration information and then performs debugging within the LAN. Considering that LAN-based wireless connections offer superior connection distance, stability, and transmission speed compared to RF communication connections, this disclosure is more convenient for users while also improving debugging efficiency.

[0096] It should be noted that the solution disclosed herein is not limited to ADB debugging. Any other debugging method that requires users to manually configure the network and / or manually enable the debugging function is within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0097] In one embodiment, sending distribution network information to the second device based on the radio frequency communication connection includes:

[0098] Based on the radio frequency communication connection, a debugging request is sent to the second device;

[0099] Receive the confirmation message from the second device in response to the debugging request;

[0100] Based on the confirmation message, the distribution network information is sent to the second device via the radio frequency communication connection.

[0101] In the embodiments of this disclosure, before sending network distribution information to the second device, the first device first sends a debugging request to the second device to allow the user of the second device to confirm whether the second device can be debugged. If the user of the second device confirms that the second device can be debugged, a confirmation message is sent to the first device. After receiving the confirmation message, the first device then sends the network distribution information to the second device based on the radio frequency communication connection.

[0102] The debugging request sent by the first device may carry the identification information of the first device or the user information of the user of the first device, so that the user of the second device can confirm whether the first device has debugging privileges.

[0103] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this disclosure, if the first device does not receive a confirmation message from the second device, the first device will not send network configuration information to the second device, and therefore the first device cannot debug the second device within the local area network. Furthermore, the first device can also preset a time limit to determine whether it receives a confirmation message from the second device within that preset time limit. If the first device does not receive a confirmation message within the preset time limit, it will not send network configuration information to the second device. By setting a preset time limit, the ineffective waiting time of the first device can be reduced.

[0104] It is understood that this disclosure determines whether to send distribution network information through a request (debugging request) and response (confirmation message) method, so that the second device can be debugged in the local area network later. This can reduce the invalid transmission of distribution network information when the user does not allow the second device to be debugged, thereby increasing the necessity of sending distribution network information and thus improving the debugging efficiency of the device.

[0105] In one embodiment, sending the distribution network information to the second device based on the radio frequency communication connection according to the confirmation message includes:

[0106] Based on the confirmation message, the network connection method of the first device is determined;

[0107] If the first device uses a wired connection, it sends network configuration information for connecting to the hotspot of the first device to the second device based on the radio frequency communication connection;

[0108] If the first device uses a wireless connection, it sends the network configuration information of the local area network where the first device is located to the second device based on the radio frequency communication connection.

[0109] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the first device sends network configuration information to the second device in advance according to its own network connection method, so that the second device can join the local area network (LAN) where the first device is located. If the first device uses a wired connection to access the network, it sends the network configuration information of its hotspot to the second device to share the wired route. After the second device accesses the network based on the network configuration information of the first device's hotspot, it will be in the same LAN as the first device. If the first device uses a wireless connection, it can also send the network configuration information of its connected LAN to the second device, enabling the second device to access the LAN.

[0110] Understandably, the first device in this disclosure sends distribution information according to its own network connection method, which is flexible and can improve the success rate of the second device connecting to the local area network where the first device is located, thus helping to debug the second device in the local area network.

[0111] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0112] Based on the radio frequency communication connection, the network address of the second device sent by the second device is received;

[0113] The debugging of the second device within the local area network includes:

[0114] Within the local area network, a connection for debugging is established based on the network address and the second device, and debugging commands are sent to the second device.

[0115] In embodiments of this disclosure, the first device needs to establish a debugging connection with the second device in order to debug the second device. Before establishing the debugging connection, the first device needs to obtain the network address of the second device. In embodiments of this disclosure, since the first device and the second device have established a point-to-point radio frequency communication connection beforehand, the first device can receive the network address of the second device based on radio frequency communication.

[0116] Of course, in the embodiments disclosed herein, the first device may send its network address to the second device based on the radio frequency communication connection, and the second device may actively establish a debugging connection with the first device based on the network address of the first device.

[0117] In one embodiment, the connection for debugging includes an Android Debug Bridge (ADB) connection; the address information includes the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the second device and the port number of the ADB service in the second device.

[0118] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the first device can establish an ADB connection with the second device based on the Internet Protocol Address (IP) and the port number of the ADB service provided by the second device, and send debugging commands to the second device to debug it. The port number of the ADB service is the same as the port number corresponding to the aforementioned ADB daemon process adbd.

[0119] Figure 3 This is an example diagram of device debugging in an embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 3 As shown, once the server detects the ADB daemon process (adbd) on an Android device, it establishes a connection with the corresponding port, thus establishing an ADB connection between the first device (PC) and the second device (Android phone). Clients running on the server send debugging commands to the daemon process, which continuously queries the received commands and sends the results back to the client.

[0120] Figure 4 This is a device debugging method flow shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 ,like Figure 4 As shown, the device debugging method applied to the second device includes the following steps:

[0121] S21. Establish a radio frequency communication connection with the first device;

[0122] S22. Based on the radio frequency communication connection, receive the network distribution information sent by the first device;

[0123] S23. According to the network configuration information, join the local area network where the first device is located and enable the debugging function;

[0124] S24. Debugging is performed on the local area network and the first device.

[0125] As described in the device debugging method applied to the first device, the first device includes, but is not limited to, a personal computer, and the second device can be a smartphone, tablet, or a smartphone emulator. Both the first and second devices are point-to-point radio frequency devices.

[0126] In step S21, the second device will establish a communication connection with the first device, such as a Bluetooth communication connection, a near-field communication connection, or an infrared communication connection.

[0127] In step S22, the second device receives the network configuration information sent by the first device based on the radio frequency communication connection, and in step S23, according to the network configuration information, joins the local area network where the first device is located and enables the debugging function. Only after the second device enables the debugging function can it accept debugging from the first device in step S24. The network configuration information includes at least a wireless network identifier, such as an SSID, and may also include a password corresponding to the wireless network identifier.

[0128] It is understandable that this disclosure utilizes a radio frequency communication connection to receive network configuration information sent by the first device, eliminating the need for manual network configuration by the user to add the second device to the local area network (LAN) where the first device is located. Furthermore, after the second device joins the LAN via the radio frequency communication connection, it triggers the activation of the debugging function, allowing the first device to debug the second device within the LAN. This also eliminates the need for manual user operation to activate the debugging function, thus demonstrating intelligence and improving the user experience. In addition, after establishing radio frequency communication to obtain network configuration information, this disclosure performs debugging within the LAN. Considering that wireless connections based on LANs are superior to radio frequency communication connections in terms of connection distance, stability, and transmission speed, this disclosure is more convenient for users and improves debugging efficiency compared to debugging via radio frequency communication connections.

[0129] In one embodiment, receiving the network distribution information sent by the first device based on the radio frequency communication connection includes:

[0130] Based on the radio frequency communication connection, receive the debugging request sent by the first device;

[0131] A confirmation message is sent to the first device according to the debugging request;

[0132] Based on the radio frequency communication connection, the distribution network information sent by the first device according to the confirmation message is received.

[0133] In the embodiments of this disclosure, after receiving a debugging request from the first device, the second device will send a confirmation message, enabling the first device to send network distribution information to the second device based on the confirmation message and the radio frequency communication connection. The second device's feedback of the confirmation message is initiated based on the user's operation; the user of the second device will send a confirmation message after agreeing to the first device's debugging of the second device.

[0134] In one embodiment, sending an acknowledgment message to the first device according to the debugging request includes:

[0135] Upon receiving the debugging request, a first message prompting whether to perform device debugging is output.

[0136] In response to detecting an acknowledgment operation based on the first message output, the acknowledgment message is sent to the first device.

[0137] In this embodiment, after receiving a debugging request, the second device can output a first message indicating whether to perform device debugging via voice or via a pop-up window. Based on the output first message, when the second device detects a confirmation operation—for example, if the second device detects a user's voice confirmation of debugging or a user's click confirmation operation based on a message displayed on the interface—it sends a confirmation message to the first device.

[0138] It is understood that this disclosure determines whether to send distribution network information through a request (debugging request) and response (confirmation message) method, so that the second device can be debugged in the local area network later. This can reduce the invalid transmission of distribution network information when the user does not allow the second device to be debugged, thereby increasing the necessity of sending distribution network information and thus improving the debugging efficiency of the device.

[0139] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0140] Based on the radio frequency communication connection, the network address of the second device is sent to the first device;

[0141] The debugging process within the local area network and on the first device includes:

[0142] Within the local area network, a connection for debugging is established based on the network address and the first device, and debugging instructions sent by the first device are received.

[0143] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the second device needs to establish a debugging connection with the first device first, so that the first device can debug the second device. Before establishing the debugging connection, the second device needs to send its own network address to the first device using a radio frequency communication connection, so that the first device can establish a connection with the second device based on the second device's network address, such as establishing an ADB connection.

[0144] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0145] After establishing a debugging connection based on the network address and the first device, a second message indicating that the connection was successfully established is output.

[0146] In the embodiments of this disclosure, after the second device and the first device establish a debugging connection, a second message indicating successful connection establishment is output to inform the user. Based on this second message, the user can operate on the first device to debug the second device.

[0147] Figure 5 This is an interactive diagram illustrating a device debugging method according to an embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the device commissioning method applied to the first and second devices includes the following steps:

[0148] S31. The first device establishes a radio frequency communication connection with the second device;

[0149] S32. The first device sends distribution network information to the second device based on the radio frequency communication connection;

[0150] S33. The second device joins the local area network where the first device is located and enables the debugging function according to the network configuration information.

[0151] S34. The first device debugs the second device within the local area network.

[0152] This disclosure utilizes a radio frequency (RF) communication connection to send network configuration information to a second device, eliminating the need for manual network configuration by the user to add the second device to the local area network (LAN) where the first device is located. Furthermore, once the second device joins the LAN via the RF communication connection, it triggers the activation of the debugging function, allowing the first device to debug the second device within the LAN. This also eliminates the need for manual user intervention to activate the debugging function, thus providing intelligence and improving the user experience. In addition, this disclosure establishes RF communication to obtain network configuration information and then performs debugging within the LAN. Considering that LAN-based wireless connections are superior to RF communication connections in terms of connection distance, stability, and transmission speed, this disclosure offers greater convenience and efficiency compared to debugging via RF communication connections.

[0153] Taking a scenario where the first device is a personal computer and the second device is a mobile phone, and the first device is performing ADB debugging on the second device, as an example... Figure 6 This is an example diagram illustrating a device debugging method according to an embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 6 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0154] S41. The personal computer is connected to the network, and the mobile phone is placed close to the near-field communication sensing area of ​​the personal computer.

[0155] In this embodiment, the personal computer can connect to the wireless network via wired or wireless means. In addition, when the mobile phone is brought close to the near-field communication sensing area of ​​the personal computer, a radio frequency communication connection will be established between the mobile phone and the computer.

[0156] S42. The user confirms whether to start ADB debugging; if yes, proceed to step S43; if no, proceed to step S50.

[0157] In this embodiment, the personal computer, acting as the initiator, sends an ADB debugging request via NFC peer-to-peer functionality.

[0172] This disclosure allows a personal computer to send network configuration information to a mobile phone via a near-field communication (NFC) connection. This eliminates the need for manual network configuration by the user to add the phone to the local area network (LAN) where the personal computer is located. Furthermore, once the mobile phone joins the LAN via a radio frequency (RF) communication connection, it triggers the activation of debugging functions, enabling the personal computer to debug the phone within the LAN. This also eliminates the need for manual user intervention to activate the debugging function, thus providing intelligence and improving the user experience. In addition, this disclosure establishes RF communication to obtain network configuration information and then performs debugging within the LAN. Considering that Wi-Fi-based wireless connections to LANs offer superior connection distance, stability, and transmission speed compared to RF communication connections, this disclosure is more convenient for users while also improving debugging efficiency.
