In one example, the transmission device 106 can be a radio frequency (RF) module, which is used to communicate with the Internet wirelessly.

[0037] In this embodiment, a method for configuring a network for a device is provided. Figure 2 is a flow chart of a network configuration method for a device according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to IoT devices such as Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0038] Step S202, reading the network configuration key of the target cloud platform to be connected from the preset storage area, wherein the network configuration key is used by the cloud platform to verify the IoT device to be connected;

[0039] The IoT devices of this embodiment may be air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, sweeping robots, and other devices that require network configuration to access the cloud server on the network side. After the IoT devices are successfully networked, users can remotely interact with and control the IoT devices.

[0040] The cloud platform of this embodiment includes a cloud server and an application running on a mobile device (such as a mobile phone or other user device). The IoT device can be connected to the cloud server and the application on the mobile device. The mobile device is connected to the cloud server via a remote wireless network, and the mobile device is connected to the IoT device via a network such as Bluetooth. During the network configuration stage of the IoT device, the mobile terminal is used to assist in the network configuration. After the network configuration is completed, the mobile terminal can remotely control the IoT device based on the target cloud platform.

[0041] When the IoT device leaves the factory, by presetting the network configuration key in the IoT device, one or more cloud platforms (such as Alibaba, Amazon, Mijia, etc.) can be selected to be supported. Subsequently, the IoT device can select a target cloud platform from the supported multiple cloud platforms for access. The network configuration key of this embodiment is used by the cloud platform to perform security and validity verification on the IoT device to be connected, to ensure the security and validity of the access device.

[0042] Step S204, connecting to the target cloud server of the target cloud platform based on the network configuration key;

[0043] Step S206, obtaining the platform firmware of the IoT device from the target cloud server, wherein the platform firmware is used to implement communication protocol conversion between the IoT device and the target cloud platform;

[0044] The IoT device of this embodiment includes device firmware and platform firmware. The device firmware is burned into the IoT device locally when it leaves the factory, and the platform firmware is stored on the cloud server. The IoT device obtains it through a request. The device firmware is used to implement the common functional logic of the IoT device on multiple cloud platforms, such as the control logic of the device itself (such as the refrigeration control program of the air conditioner). The platform firmware is used to implement the personalized functions of the IoT device on the target cloud platform and realize the communication protocol conversion between the IoT device and the target cloud platform, such as the data encryption and decryption rules, data encoding and decoding rules, and instruction mapping rules between the IoT device and the target cloud server. Each cloud platform corresponds to a platform firmware.

[0045] Through the above steps, the network configuration key of the target cloud platform to be accessed is read from the preset storage area, wherein the network configuration key is used by the cloud platform to verify the IoT device to be accessed; the target cloud server of the target cloud platform is connected based on the network configuration key; the platform firmware of the IoT device is obtained from the target cloud server, wherein the platform firmware is used to realize the communication protocol conversion between the IoT device and the target cloud platform, and after the IoT device accesses the selected target cloud server, the platform firmware of the IoT device is obtained from the target cloud server. The IoT device does not need to burn the platform firmware in the production stage, and the user can flexibly choose different cloud platforms to access according to different product needs. The IoT device only needs to maintain the device firmware of general functions during production, and there is no need to burn the platform firmware of all cloud platforms at the same time in the production stage, which improves the utilization rate of the storage resources of the IoT device, reduces the firmware burning time of the IoT device in the production stage, and solves the technical problem in the related technology that the IoT device needs to burn multiple platform firmware in the production stage.

[0046] In one implementation of this embodiment, connecting to the target cloud server of the target cloud platform based on the network configuration key includes:

[0047] S11, establishing a Bluetooth communication link between the Internet of Things device and the mobile terminal based on the network configuration key;

[0048] In one example, establishing a Bluetooth communication link between the Internet of Things device and the mobile terminal based on the network configuration key includes: determining a target cloud platform supported by the Internet of Things device according to the network configuration key; broadcasting Bluetooth-assisted network configuration information of the target cloud platform; and establishing a Bluetooth communication link between the Internet of Things device and the mobile terminal based on the Bluetooth-assisted network configuration information.

[0049] The IoT device of this embodiment can pre-burn one or more network configuration keys in the preset storage area. If only one network configuration key is burned, the IoT device broadcasts the Bluetooth auxiliary network configuration information of the platform. During the device networking activation process, the cloud platform is connected by default. If multiple network configuration keys are burned, the IoT device uses the Bluetooth broadcast polling playback method to poll and send Bluetooth broadcasts of multiple cloud platforms. Subsequently, the IoT device can distinguish the cloud platform to which the terminal APP connected to the device belongs based on the GATT service and other information accessed when the terminal APP corresponding to different cloud platforms connects to the device Bluetooth.

[0050] By adopting the solution of this embodiment, by broadcasting the Bluetooth-assisted network configuration information of the target cloud platform supported by the IoT device, the IoT device can be connected only to the APP of the cloud platform supported by the device, thereby improving the effectiveness of establishing a connection between the IoT device and the mobile terminal and avoiding connection failure.

[0051] Optionally, determining the target cloud platform supported by the Internet of Things device based on the network configuration key includes: locating the partition address of the network configuration key in the preset storage area, wherein the preset storage area includes several partition addresses, each partition address is used to store the network configuration key of a cloud platform; and searching for a target cloud platform that matches the partition address.

[0052] Before the IoT device leaves the factory, an area for storing the cloud platform network configuration key is pre-allocated in the flash of the IoT device. The flash addresses of the network configuration keys of different cloud platforms are different. In the production environment, the required cloud platform keys are burned into the device according to product requirements. After the IoT device is powered on for the first time, it will read the corresponding network configuration key in the flash partition, and distinguish the cloud platform that the IoT device supports or needs to connect to based on the different flash addresses of the keys read.

[0053] By adopting the solution of this embodiment, the first partition address is divided in the IoT device, and each partition address stores a network configuration key of a cloud platform. The IoT device determines the target cloud platform supported by the IoT device by identifying the partition address where the read network configuration key is located, thereby improving the efficiency of the IoT device in identifying the cloud platform it supports.

[0054] In addition to determining the target cloud platform by the partition address, you can also set a mapping table that stores the mapping relationship between the network configuration key and the cloud platform identifier. The IoT device can also identify the cloud platform corresponding to the currently read network configuration key by searching and retrieving the mapping table.

[0055] S12, receiving the network configuration routing information sent by the mobile terminal using the Bluetooth communication link;

[0056] S13: Access the target cloud server according to the network configuration routing information and the network configuration key.

[0057] First, a Bluetooth communication link is established between the IoT device and the mobile terminal, and then the network configuration routing information for the IoT device to access the target cloud server is obtained. Since the APP currently logged in by the mobile terminal and the target cloud server to be accessed by the IoT device are on the same cloud platform, automatic network configuration of the IoT device is achieved, which improves the success rate of network configuration and reduces the difficulty of network configuration.

[0058] In one example, accessing the target cloud server according to the network configuration routing information and the network configuration key includes: parsing the routing address and server address in the network configuration routing information; using the routing address and server address to request access to the target cloud server, and sending the network configuration key to the target cloud server; after the target cloud server uses the network configuration key to verify that the IoT device has passed, connecting the IoT device to the target cloud server.

[0059] Optionally, the routing information includes the IP address of the router, WIFI account and password, and the server address includes the IP address, MAC address, and other domain name information of the target cloud server.

[0060] By adopting the solution of this embodiment, the routing address and server address are parsed directly from the network configuration routing information sent by the mobile device. The routing address and server address can be directly read from the router currently accessed by the mobile device and the application information of the currently logged-in cloud platform, thereby improving the efficiency of IoT devices accessing the target cloud server.

[0061] In an implementation scenario of this embodiment, after establishing a Bluetooth communication link between the Internet of Things device and the mobile terminal based on the network configuration key, it also includes: determining a generic attribute protocol GATT (Generic Attribute) service of the Bluetooth communication link; reading a universally unique identifier UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) ​​feature of the GATT service, wherein the UUID feature is used to characterize application information using the Bluetooth communication link; and identifying a target cloud platform for the mobile terminal to log in based on the UUID feature.

[0062] When the terminal APP corresponding to different cloud platforms connects to the device Bluetooth, the accessed GATT service is different, so as to distinguish the cloud platform to which the APP of the mobile terminal connected to the IoT device belongs. Since IoT devices generally support multiple cloud platforms, the APPs used by mobile terminals to connect to different cloud platforms are also different. During the Bluetooth connection process between the APP and the IoT device, different APPs access the device-side Bluetooth service with different UUID characteristics. The different UUID characteristics can be used to distinguish which APP of the mobile terminal is making the Bluetooth connection. The APP corresponds to the cloud platform one-to-one, and then the target cloud platform logged in by the mobile terminal can be distinguished.

[0063] By adopting the solution of this embodiment, the target cloud platform logged in by the mobile terminal is identified through the UUID feature of the Bluetooth communication link, thereby improving the accuracy of the IoT device in identifying the target cloud platform currently logged in by the mobile terminal connected to it by Bluetooth, and providing a guarantee for the subsequent direct interaction between the IoT device and the mobile terminal.

[0064] In addition, the target cloud platform logged in by the mobile terminal can be identified by requesting the program attribute information (such as program identification, developer, etc.) of the application currently logged in to the mobile terminal through the Bluetooth communication link.

[0065] In one implementation of the present embodiment, obtaining the platform firmware of the IoT device from the target cloud server includes: sending a firmware request to the target cloud server; receiving the platform firmware issued by the cloud server based on the firmware request; merging the platform firmware with the local device firmware of the IoT device to obtain a merged firmware, wherein the device firmware is used to implement the general functional logic of the IoT device; and loading the merged firmware locally on the IoT device.

[0066] Because the reporting logic of IoT devices and different cloud platforms is different, the platform firmware is different. It is necessary to obtain the corresponding platform firmware of the target cloud platform to be connected before the device is connected to the cloud and activated. After the terminal APP establishes a connection with the device to be configured, obtains the routing information and successfully connects to the route, first connects to the target cloud server, connects to the server that pre-stores the platform firmware of the corresponding cloud platform, downloads the platform firmware in the server to the flash reserved for the device, and merges it with the local device firmware of the device to obtain the merged firmware. The merged firmware can realize complete functions through the target cloud platform, including the general functions of the IoT device and the personalized functions between the target cloud platform. By loading the local device firmware and the platform firmware currently connected to the cloud platform, the functional integrity and flexibility of the IoT device are guaranteed on the basis of avoiding burning the platform firmware of multiple cloud platforms in the production stage.

[0067] By adopting the scheme of this embodiment, the IoT device can also pull the platform firmware from the third-party server. After reading the network configuration key of the target cloud platform to be connected from the preset storage area, it also includes: receiving the routing address and third-party server address sent by the mobile terminal, accessing the third-party server based on the routing address and the third-party server address, and sending a firmware request to the third-party server (carrying the device identification of the IoT device and the platform identification of the target cloud platform); receiving the platform firmware issued by the third-party server based on the firmware request; merging the platform firmware with the local device firmware of the IoT device to obtain a merged firmware, wherein the device firmware is used to implement the general functional logic of the IoT device. After the firmware merging is completed, the device to be activated connects to the cloud according to the cloud platform selected during the Bluetooth connection process and the key of the platform.

[0068] Optionally, after obtaining the platform firmware of the Internet of Things device from the target cloud server, it also includes: receiving a function upgrade request issued by the target cloud server, wherein the function upgrade request carries new firmware data; and using the firmware data to upgrade the Internet of Things device.

[0069] Optionally, the firmware data may be firmware data of a platform firmware or a device firmware, and is used to update platform functions or general device functions.

[0070] This proposal can realize remote upgrade of equipment, and all subsequent function upgrades can be solved in the cloud, without the need for manual offline upgrades, which improves the upgrade efficiency of IoT devices and reduces the operation and maintenance success of equipment.

[0071] Figure 3 It is an interactive diagram of device network configuration in an embodiment of the present invention, including:

[0072] S31. The mobile terminal logs in to the APP of the cloud platform, scans the attached IoT device, and connects it via Bluetooth.

[0073] S32, the IoT device determines the connected APP and identifies the cloud platform corresponding to the APP;

[0074] S33, the mobile terminal transmits relevant routing and cloud platform related information (such as the address of the cloud server) to the IoT device;

[0075] S34, the IoT device responds and connects to the cloud server of the cloud platform according to the information transmitted by the mobile terminal;

[0076] S35, the cloud server transmits the platform firmware to the IoT device, and the IoT device merges the received firmware with the local device firmware;

[0077] S36. When the IoT device needs to be upgraded, the cloud server sends a function upgrade link;

[0078] S37. The IoT device completes the function upgrade and notifies the mobile terminal.

[0079] The solution of this embodiment can ensure that when the device firmware is burned in the production stage, it will not be affected by changes in device function logic and the cloud platform. Function changes only require uploading new firmware to the cloud for remote upgrading. There is no need to change the platform firmware burned before leaving the factory according to different cloud platform products. Different cloud platforms can be flexibly selected for access according to the needs of different products. Device production only needs to maintain device firmware with general functions, which is convenient for developers to maintain code.

[0080] 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 a necessary general hardware platform, and of course can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on such an understanding, the technical solution of the present invention, 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 invention.
