[0041] Example 1

[0042] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a system for allocating addresses is provided, including:

[0043] Multiple wireless gateways, each of which is equipped with a positioning module, which is used to collect the gateway positioning address of the wireless gateway where it is located, and the wireless gateway is used to upload its own gateway positioning address;

[0044] The server is used to allocate a gateway logical address to the wireless gateway according to the received gateway location address.

[0045] Optionally, the distribution system may further include: a plurality of bottom-level devices, and the bottom-level devices are used to send the collected data to the server via a wireless gateway.

[0046] Multiple wireless gateways can send the collected RSSI values ​​(full name: Received Signal Strength Indication, that is, the received signal strength indication, which measures the distance between the signal point and the receiving point by the strength of the received signal, and then performs positioning calculations based on the corresponding data) of the underlying devices to the server, so that the server can determine the location information of the underlying devices based on the gateway positioning addresses of multiple wireless gateways, the signal strength values ​​during monitoring, and the RSSI values.

[0047] For example, a wireless gateway uses GPRS to locate and upload its location to a server. The server then assigns the gateway a logical address based on the location. Three wireless gateways equipped with GPRS modules monitor the data sent by the target device via LoRa. Based on the RSSI value, they calculate the distance from the target module to each gateway and report it to the server. The server then determines the target module's location based on its distance from the three known gateways. If one gateway fails, the nearest gateway can change channels and take over the failed gateway's operations.

[0048] Through the above solution, a positioning module for collecting the gateway positioning address is installed on the wireless gateway. When a logical address needs to be assigned, the server receives the gateway positioning address uploaded by the wireless gateway and assigns a gateway logical address to the wireless gateway based on the gateway positioning address. This does not require professional personnel to perform configuration, and can solve the technical problem of cumbersome configuration of the wireless gateway.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] Figure 1 is a flow chart of an optional address allocation method according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0051] In step S101, the wireless gateway sends a gateway positioning address to the server. The gateway positioning address is collected by a positioning module installed on the wireless gateway. The positioning module can be a Beidou positioning module, a GPRS module, etc.

[0052] Step S102: The server receives the gateway location address uploaded by the wireless gateway.

[0053] Step S103: The server allocates a gateway logical address to the wireless gateway according to the gateway location address.

[0054] Optionally, if the gateway location address sent by the wireless gateway is legal, an allocation frame can be sent to the wireless gateway, and the gateway location address and the allocated gateway logical address can be stored in the database, the allocation frame carries the gateway logical address and the gateway location address, so that the wireless gateway can judge the legality of the allocation frame; receive a confirmation frame returned by the wireless gateway, the confirmation frame is returned by the wireless gateway when it determines that the allocation frame is legal; if the logical address and location address carried in the confirmation frame match the logic address and location address in the database, send a first communication frame to the wireless gateway, the first communication frame is used to instruct the wireless gateway to go online; if the logical address and location address carried in the confirmation frame do not match the logic address and location address in the database, send a second communication frame to the wireless gateway, wherein the second communication frame is used to prohibit the wireless gateway from going online.

[0055] Optionally, after allocating a gateway logical address to the wireless gateway according to the gateway positioning address, the RSSI values ​​of the same underlying device and the signal strength values ​​of the multiple wireless gateways during monitoring are received from multiple wireless gateways; the location information of the underlying device is determined based on the RSSI value of the underlying device, the signal strength values ​​of the multiple wireless gateways during monitoring, and the gateway positioning addresses of the multiple wireless gateways; when the underlying device fails or the underlying device needs to be operated, the location information of the underlying device is sent to a designated device so that the underlying device can be repaired or operated according to the location information of the underlying device.

[0056] Optionally, after assigning a gateway logical address to the wireless gateway based on the gateway positioning address, in the event that a first wireless gateway among multiple wireless gateways fails, the working channel of a second wireless gateway among the multiple wireless gateways is modified to receive data sent to the first wireless gateway by the underlying device, wherein the second wireless gateway is the wireless gateway among the multiple wireless gateways that is closest to the first wireless gateway.

[0057] Step S104: The wireless gateway configures its own logical address according to the received gateway logical address.

[0058] Through the above solution, a positioning module for collecting the gateway positioning address is installed on the wireless gateway. When a logical address needs to be assigned, the server receives the gateway positioning address uploaded by the wireless gateway and assigns a gateway logical address to the wireless gateway based on the gateway positioning address. This does not require professional personnel to perform configuration, and can solve the technical problem of cumbersome configuration of the wireless gateway.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] In the technical solution of this application, the server can automatically assign a logical address based on the geographic location of the gateway, quickly locate the geographic location of the underlying device, and when a gateway fails, a nearby gateway can be used to replace it by changing the channel. As an optional embodiment, the technical solution of this application is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods:

[0061] Assume that in a factory there are 1,000 energy devices whose LoRa data needs to be uploaded to the server. Three new wireless gateways with GPRS are now added for data collection and transmission.

[0062] The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0063] 1) The three gateways upload their own geographic locations to the server respectively. The server assigns a logical address to the gateway through the handshake mechanism based on the latitude and longitude information, and sends the allocation frame consisting of the logical address and geographic location information to the gateway. The gateway checks whether the allocation frame is correct, then assigns a logical address to itself, and then sends the online frame consisting of its own logical address and geographic location information to the server. After receiving the online frame, the server verifies it with the address information in the database. If the verification is consistent, it allows the gateway to go online. At this point, the gateway address is successfully configured. The specific handshake process is as follows Figure 2 As shown:

[0064] Step S201, determining whether the gateway address location information received by the server is reasonable, if so, executing step S203, otherwise executing step S202.

[0065] Step S202: Filter the received gateway address location information.

[0066] Step S203: Allocate a logical address of the gateway according to the geographical location information, send an allocation frame, and store the geographical location and the corresponding logical address in a database.

[0067] Step S204: The gateway receives the logical address and responds with a confirmation frame.

[0068] In step S205, the server receives a confirmation frame containing the geographic location and logical address of the gateway, and checks it with the database. If it is correct, it sends a permission frame, otherwise it sends a non-permission frame.

[0069] In step S206, the APP or webpage directly calls the geographic location information data corresponding to the device address in the database.

[0070] 2) When no device on site sends data via wireless LoRa, the three gateways record the signal strength value of their current monitoring state and record the signal strength value as the background noise value of the current environment state.

[0071] 3) The three gateways are adjusted to the same channel, and receive data from the underlying devices at the same time, and upload the RSSI value and other data of the underlying device signals to the server. The server calculates the location information of the underlying device based on the latitude and longitude information, noise floor value and RSSI value of the three gateways, such as Figure 3 Similarly, the location information of all equipment in the factory can be calculated.

[0072] 4) When a device fails or needs to be operated on site, the staff can quickly find its specific location based on the device location information saved in the server.

[0073] 5) When a gateway fails and the server urgently needs to obtain the device data under the failed gateway, it can find the gateway closest to the failed gateway based on the gateway location information in the database, and make it modify the channel to replace the work of the failed gateway.

[0074] By adopting the technical solution of the present application, the gateway can automatically obtain the logical address without manual configuration; when the gateway or the underlying equipment fails, emergency processing can be carried out promptly and effectively according to the location.

[0075] It should be noted that for the aforementioned method embodiments, for the sake of simplicity, they are all expressed as a series of action combinations, but those skilled in the art should be aware that this application is not limited by the order of the actions described, because according to this application, certain steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously. Secondly, those skilled in the art should also be aware that the embodiments described in the specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily required by this application.

[0076] Through the description of the above implementation methods, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus the necessary general hardware platform, and of course it can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present application, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk), and includes a number of instructions for enabling a terminal device (which can be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods described in each embodiment of the present application.
