[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this application described herein.

[0027] As described in the background section, traditional hardware products require only a one-time payment for lifetime use, resulting in excessively high prices and low purchase intentions among users with low usage frequency. Most functions are never used by users in daily life, leading to increased unnecessary consumption and a lower user experience. To address the problem of existing solutions where users purchase electronic products with many unused functions, resulting in a poor user experience, embodiments of this application provide a control method for electronic products, a server, a computer-readable storage medium, and an ordering system.
[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0029] This embodiment provides a control method for an electronic product. The method is applied to a server in an order system. The order system also includes an electronic product and a controller. The controller, the electronic product, and the server communicate with each other. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.
[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a control method for an electronic product according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0031] Step S101: Upon receiving the first order, a first dynamic key is generated, and the first dynamic key is sent to the controller and stored in the database. The first order represents the first target function of the electronic product purchased by the user.
[0032] Specifically, when the server receives the first order, it generates a first dynamic key and sends the first dynamic key to the controller so that the user operating the controller is aware of the first dynamic key. The server stores the first dynamic key in the database to facilitate subsequent judgment on whether the key entered by the user is consistent with the first dynamic key, and to prevent the corresponding function from being unlocked due to user input errors. Electronic products are products purchased by users, such as air conditioners.
[0033] Step S102: Receive the first key information sent by the controller via the electronic product, wherein the first key information is information sent by the controller via the electronic product in response to a received first preset operation, and the first preset operation represents the user inputting the first dynamic key to the controller.
[0034] Specifically, the user enters a key (i.e., the first key information) on the controller. The controller sends the key entered by the user to the electronic product, and the electronic product then sends the key entered by the user to the server. The server receives the first key information sent by the controller via the electronic product and needs to determine whether the first key information is the same as the first dynamic key in order to determine whether the user has entered the correct dynamic key.
[0035] Step S103: Determine whether the first key information is valid, and if it is determined that the first key information is valid, encrypt at least the target static key, the first dynamic key and the first target function to obtain first encrypted data, and send the first encrypted data to the controller.
[0036] Specifically, if the first key information is the same as the first dynamic key, then the first key information is determined to be valid; otherwise, it is invalid. If the received first key information is determined to be valid, at least the target static key, the first dynamic key, and the first target function are encrypted to obtain the first encrypted data. During the encryption process, the static key and the first dynamic key are superimposed to form a new key. For example, if the static key is AAA and the first dynamic key is BBB, then the new key is AAABBB, which makes the process secure. The first target function is one of all functions of the electronic product.
[0037] The determination of whether the first key information is valid in step S103 includes: if the first key information exists in the database, determining that the first key information is valid; if the first key information does not exist in the database, determining that the first key information is invalid, and generating invalid information and sending it to the controller to indicate that the first key information was entered incorrectly.
[0038] Specifically, when a user enters an incorrect key, an invalid message needs to be generated to prompt the user that an incorrect key has been entered.
[0039] Step S103 involves encrypting at least the target static key, the first dynamic key, and the first target function to obtain first encrypted data. This includes encrypting the target static key, the first dynamic key, the first target function, and a first valid time to obtain the first encrypted data. The first valid time is the valid usage time of the first target function.
[0040] Specifically, the effective time is used to let users know how long they can use the first target function. For example, if the static key is AAA and the first dynamic key is BBB, then the final key is AAABBB. When the user enters the final key into the controller, the controller can detect whether the controller has the control logic to control the electronic product to achieve the first target function, which improves the security of the operation process.
[0041] In one embodiment of this application, after sending the first encrypted data to the controller, the method further includes: upon receiving a function not supported instruction sent by the controller via the electronic product, generating an error message to the controller to control the controller to prompt that the version of the controller currently does not support the first target function and that the version of the controller needs to be updated.
[0042] Specifically, by generating an error message and sending it to the controller, the controller's display screen will show a message stating that the current version of the controller does not support the first target function and that the controller version needs to be updated.
[0043] During the execution of step S103, that is, during the process of encrypting at least the target static key, the first dynamic key and the first target function to obtain the first encrypted data, the method further includes: superimposing the target static key and the first dynamic key to obtain a final key, wherein the final key is a key arranged in the order of the target static key and the first dynamic key.
[0044] Specifically, for example, if the static key is AAA and the first dynamic key is BBB, then the final key is AAABBB. The first target function is encrypted using the final key to obtain the aforementioned first encrypted data. Only when the user successfully enters the final key can the controller detect whether the controller has the control logic to control the electronic product to achieve the first target function. When the user enters the final key into the controller, the controller can detect whether the controller has the control logic to control the electronic product to achieve the first target function, thus improving the security of the operation process.
[0045] Before step S103, that is, before encrypting at least the target static key, the first dynamic key and the first target function to obtain the first encrypted data, the method further includes: determining the static key corresponding to the user's number based on the user's number and the static key mapping relationship, wherein the static key mapping relationship is the mapping relationship between the static key and the user's number; and determining the target static key as the static key corresponding to the user's number.
[0046] Specifically, by setting a static key for each user, the system prevents users from sharing the same static key, thereby improving the security of users' use of electronic products.
[0047] Step S104: Upon receiving the first function support instruction sent by the controller via the electronic product, unlock the first target function of the electronic product and send the generated first unlock success instruction to the controller to indicate that the first target function of the electronic product has been unlocked.
[0048] Specifically, when the controller receives the first encrypted data, it needs to verify whether the controller has control logic to control the electronic product to achieve the first target function. If such logic exists, the controller sends the first function support instruction to the electronic product, which then sends it to the server. Upon receiving the first function support instruction, the server controls the electronic product to unlock the first target function. To remind the user that the device has been unlocked, the controller sends the generated first unlock success instruction to the controller.
[0049] In the above steps, the functions of the electronic products purchased by the user are unlocked by combining dynamic and static passwords. This allows users to purchase only the functions they need, reducing the price of electronic products. This solves the problem in existing solutions where users purchase electronic products with many functions that they do not use, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0050] In addition, it can solve the problems of hardware upgrades requiring disassembly and reinstallation, which are cumbersome; it can also address the issue of low purchase intention among low-frequency users; and it can resolve the issue of improper use of hardware after it has been sold. Users can unlock hardware functions on demand without reinstallation. Hardware with verification functions prevents users from modifying it themselves, ensuring standardized use and reducing the manufacturer's production costs.
[0051] Considering the significant challenge of developing all hardware functions of electronic products in a modular fashion while also supporting dynamic activation, it's advisable to encrypt only critical functions, leaving others open. Alternatively, for cost reasons, some electronic products could adopt a simpler countdown activation method, where activation grants temporary access before locking the device after the countdown ends.
[0052] Following S104, i.e., after sending the generated first unlock success command to the controller, the method further includes: upon receiving a second order, generating a second dynamic key, sending the second dynamic key to the controller, and storing the second dynamic key in a database, wherein the second order represents the user purchasing a second target function of the electronic product; receiving second key information sent by the controller via the electronic product, wherein the second key information is information sent by the controller via the electronic product in response to a received second preset operation, wherein the second preset operation represents the user inputting the second dynamic key to the controller; determining whether the second key information is valid, and if it is determined that the received second key information is valid, encrypting at least the target static key, the second dynamic key, and the second target function to obtain second encrypted data, and sending the second encrypted data to the controller; upon receiving a second function support command sent by the controller via the electronic product, decrypting the second target function of the electronic product, and sending the generated second unlock success command to the controller to indicate that the second target function of the electronic product has been unlocked.
[0053] Specifically, the process for the second order is based on the same principle as the first order process, and will not be elaborated further here. At least the aforementioned target static key, the aforementioned second dynamic key, and the aforementioned second target function are encrypted to obtain the second encrypted data. Furthermore, the second validity period, the aforementioned target static key, the aforementioned second dynamic key, and the aforementioned second target function can also be encrypted to obtain the aforementioned second encrypted data. The second validity period is the time during which the user can effectively use the second target function.
[0054] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this application, the implementation process of the control method for electronic products of this application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0055] This embodiment relates to a specific control method for an electronic product. This method is applied to a server in an order placement system. The order placement system also includes electronic products and a controller. The controller, electronic products, and server communicate with each other, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0056] Step S1: Upon receiving the first order, the server generates a first dynamic key, sends the first dynamic key to the controller, and stores the first dynamic key in the database. The first order represents the user's first target function for purchasing electronic products.
[0057] Step S2: The server receives the first key information sent by the controller via the electronic product, wherein the first key information is the information sent by the controller via the electronic product in response to the received first preset operation, and the first preset operation represents the user inputting the first dynamic key to the controller;
[0058] Step S3: If the first key information exists in the database, the server determines that the first key information is valid. The server encrypts the target static key, the first dynamic key, the first target function, and the first validity period to obtain the first encrypted data. The first validity period is the valid usage time of the first target function. If the first key information does not exist in the database, the server determines that the first key information is invalid and generates invalid information to send to the controller to indicate that the first key information was entered incorrectly.
[0059] Step S4: Upon receiving a function not supported instruction sent by the controller via electronic product, generate an error message to the controller to prompt that the controller version currently does not support the first target function and that the controller version needs to be updated.
[0060] Step S5: Upon receiving the first function support instruction sent by the controller via the electronic product, unlock the first target function of the electronic product and send the generated first unlock success instruction to the controller to indicate that the first target function of the electronic product has been unlocked.
[0061] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.
[0062] This application also provides a server. It should be noted that the server in this application can be used to execute the control method for electronic products provided in this application. The server is used to implement the above embodiments and preferred embodiments; details already described will not be repeated. As used below, the term "module" can refer to a combination of software and / or hardware that performs a predetermined function. Although the server described in the following embodiments is preferably implemented in software, hardware implementation, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and contemplated.
[0063] The server provided in the embodiments of this application will be described below.
[0064] Figure 3 This is a structural block diagram of a server provided according to an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the device includes:
[0065] The first generation unit 31 is used to generate a first dynamic key upon receiving a first order, send the first dynamic key to the controller, and store the first dynamic key in the database. The first order represents the first target function of the user's purchase of electronic products.
[0066] The first receiving unit 32 is configured to receive first key information sent by the controller via the electronic product, wherein the first key information is information sent by the controller via the electronic product in response to a received first preset operation, and the first preset operation represents the user inputting the first dynamic key to the controller.

[0069] In the aforementioned server, the functions of the electronic products purchased by the user are unlocked by combining dynamic and static passwords. This allows users to purchase only the functions they need, reducing the price of electronic products.

The final key is a key arranged in the order of the target static key and the first dynamic key.
[0074] In one embodiment of this application, the server further includes a third determining module and a fourth determining module.

After sending the generated first unlock success instruction to the controller, the third generation unit is used to generate a second dynamic key upon receiving a second order, send the second dynamic key to the controller, and store the second dynamic key in a database. The second order represents the second target function of the electronic product purchased by the user.

The second preset operation represents the user inputting the second dynamic key to the controller; the second determining unit is used to determine whether the second key information is valid, and if it is determined that the received second key information is valid, it encrypts at least the target static key, the second dynamic key, and the second target function to obtain second encrypted data, and sends the second encrypted data to the controller; the second processing unit is used to decrypt the second target function of the electronic product when it receives the second function support instruction sent by the controller via the electronic product, and sends the generated second unlock success instruction to the controller to indicate that the second target function of the electronic product has been unlocked.
[0076] The aforementioned server includes a processor and a memory.

All of the above modules reside in the same processor; alternatively, the modules may be located in different processors in any combination.
[0077] The processor contains a kernel, which retrieves the corresponding program units from memory. One or more kernels can be configured. By adjusting kernel parameters, the problem of users purchasing electronic products with many unused functions, leading to a poor user experience, can be addressed.
