[0035] The embodiments disclosed in the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments disclosed in the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein, which are instead provided for a more thorough and complete understanding of the present invention. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments disclosed in the present invention are only for exemplary purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of protection disclosed in the present invention.

[0036] In the description of the embodiments disclosed in the present invention, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc. may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0037] For ease of understanding, the specific process of the embodiment of the present invention is described below. Figure 1 , an embodiment of the smart box power supply method in the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0038] S100, the smart box receives a power supply request, and turns on the PoE function of the smart box according to the power supply request.

[0039] In this embodiment, the smart box receives a power supply request, automatically detects whether the device to be powered needs power, and turns on the PoE function of the smart box based on the power supply request. The PoE function of the smart box is also an Ethernet power supply function. It is a technology that can provide DC power supply for some IP-based terminals (such as IP phones, wireless LAN access points AP, network cameras, etc.) while transmitting data signals for such devices.

[0040] S200, detecting the impedance value of the device to be powered corresponding to the smart box through the PoE interface of the smart box, and judging whether the device to be powered needs power supply according to the impedance value.

[0041] In this embodiment, after the PoE function of the smart box is turned on, the PoE interface of the smart box determines whether the device to be powered is a PD (Power Device), that is, whether the device to be powered needs power supply by detecting the impedance value of the device to be powered. Generally, the impedance value between the PoE power supply pins is detected by a preset detection voltage, wherein the preset detection voltage can be a voltage of about 5V.

[0042] S300, if power supply is required, the smart box supplies power to the powered device through the PoE interface.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the smart box determines that the powered device needs power supply, it will supply power to the PD device.

[0044] S400, displays the power supply status of the smart box through the interactive interface of the smart box.

[0045] In this embodiment, after the smart box is powered successfully, the PoE information can be reported to the device management platform at the same time through the MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) protocol. The PoE information includes the power supply voltage and current, etc. The PoE information is displayed through the interactive interface of the management platform so that the power supply voltage and current of the smart box can be checked in time.

[0046] In an optional implementation of the first aspect of the present invention, detecting the impedance value of the device to be powered corresponding to each smart box through the PoE interface of the smart box, and judging whether the device to be powered needs power supply according to the impedance value includes:

[0047] Through the PoE interface of the smart box, the current value of the device to be powered corresponding to the smart box is detected; based on the current value of the device to be powered, the impedance value of the device to be powered is obtained; based on the impedance value of the device to be powered, it is determined whether the device to be powered needs power supply.

[0048] In this embodiment, the smart box applies a specific voltage (such as 5-12V) to the device to be powered, and observes the current value to determine the impedance of the device to be powered. Impedance is a physical quantity that represents the performance of a component or the electrical performance of a circuit. The ratio of the peak voltage (or effective value) across a passive circuit in an AC circuit to the peak current (or effective value) passing through the circuit is called impedance. When the voltage is constant, the greater the impedance, the smaller the current, and the impedance has a limiting effect on the current. The impedance value is compared with the preset impedance threshold. If the impedance value is greater than the preset impedance threshold, it is determined that the device to be powered needs power.

[0049] In an optional implementation manner of the first aspect of the present invention, if power supply is required, the smart box supplies power to the powered device through the PoE interface, including:

[0050] If power supply is required, the power supply level of the device to be powered is determined according to the impedance value of the device to be powered; the smart box supplies power to the device to be powered through the PoE interface according to the power supply level.

[0051] In this embodiment, different power supply levels are first set for the smart box, and then the impedance value of the device to be powered is detected through the PoE interface of the smart box. Whether to power the device to be powered is determined based on the impedance value. If power supply is required, the power supply level corresponding to the impedance value is obtained by checking the preset power supply list. According to the power supply level, the smart box provides corresponding power supply to the powered device through the PoE interface.

[0052] In an optional implementation of the first aspect of the present invention, before detecting the impedance value of the device to be powered corresponding to the smart box through the PoE interface of the smart box, the method further includes:

[0053] Push the web control interface; open the PoE interface of the smart box through the web control interface; detect the impedance value of the device to be powered corresponding to the smart box through the PoE interface.

[0054] In this embodiment, the smart box power supply management system pushes a web control interface, and the PoE interface of each smart box can be turned on and off through the web control interface. The PoE interface of each smart box can be turned on and off by clicking the disable / enable button, and the PoE interface status can also be viewed on the web control interface. Through the PoE interface, the impedance value of the device to be powered corresponding to the smart box is detected.
