Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of device communication, and in particular to a network communication method, device, storage medium and electronic device. Background Art

[0002] In the development of IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) systems, with the advancement of technology and changes in user needs, the miniaturization of set-top boxes has become an important trend. That is, the miniaturization of set-top boxes can improve user experience, reduce installation complexity, and meet the needs of modern families for aesthetics and space utilization.

[0003] However, the miniaturization of set-top boxes also brings a series of technical challenges. First, miniaturization means that more functions need to be integrated in a limited physical space, which often leads to the cancellation of some traditional interfaces, such as wired Ethernet interfaces. Although wireless interfaces provide the advantages of simple installation and no wiring, in certain specific scenarios, such as environments with strong signal interference or long distances, the performance of wireless interfaces may be affected and cannot meet the stability and bandwidth requirements of IPTV services.

[0004] In addition, IPTV service applications usually need to read the wired MAC (Media Access Control Address) address as the unique identifier of the device. The MAC address is the physical address of the network device in the network, which is crucial for application scenarios such as device identification and permission control. However, in the absence of an Ethernet port, the set-top box cannot directly obtain the MAC address, resulting in abnormalities in service applications based on the MAC address. Summary of the invention

[0019] According to the network connection state, it is determined that the IPTV system establishes a connection with an external physical network through the target network device.

[0020] Optionally, configuring the target network device into the initial virtual network bridge to obtain a target virtual network bridge including the target network device comprises:

[0021] Acquire a first network device change event of the IPTV system;

This preset MAC address can be used as a unified device identification for the entire IPTV system or a specific business application, ensuring that the business application can normally identify and manage the device. By allowing the use of an external network device and configuring it into the target virtual bridge based on the created target network device, a more flexible network access method is provided. At the same time, since all network communications are conducted through the target virtual bridge and carry a unified MAC address, this helps reduce network conflicts and misidentifications, thereby enhancing the stability of network communications.

[0060] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 The present invention is a flowchart of a network communication method involved in an embodiment of the present invention. The network communication method is applied to an IPTV system and includes the following steps:

[0061] Step S11: Create a target network device in the IPTV system.

[0062] Step S12: Acquire an initial virtual network bridge, where a preset MAC address is configured on the initial virtual network bridge.

[0063] Step S13: configuring the target network device into the initial virtual network bridge to obtain a target virtual network bridge including the target network device.

[0064] Step S14: Based on the MAC address, the target network configuration information of the IPTV system is obtained from the external physical network through the target virtual bridge, where the target network configuration information includes an IP address.

[0065] Step S15: configuring the IPTV system according to the target network configuration information so that the IPTV system performs network communication according to the target network configuration information.

[0066] It should be understood that the target network device may be one or more devices used to connect external network devices in the IPTV system, such as a USB network device used to connect a USB network card, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit this.

[0067] For example, a target network device is created in an IPTV system so that the target network device can be used in the IPTV system to simulate or represent an actual hardware device. Since the virtual bridge plays the role of forwarding data packets in the network, and the MAC address is an identifier for the network device to communicate at the network layer. Therefore, after creating the target network device, the initial virtual bridge can be obtained and the preset MAC address can be configured. Then the target network device is added to the preset initial virtual bridge so that the target network device can share the network environment and configuration of the initial virtual bridge. Then, since the IPTV system needs to know its IP address and other network configuration information to communicate with the external network. Therefore, the target network configuration information of the IPTV system can be obtained from the external physical network based on the target virtual bridge configured with the preset MAC address.

[0068] Through this technical solution, firstly, a target network device is created in the IPTV system, and an initial virtual bridge configured with a preset MAC address is obtained. Then, the target network device is configured into the initial virtual bridge to obtain a target virtual bridge containing the target network device. Based on the target virtual bridge configured with the preset MAC address, the target network configuration information including the IP address of the IPTV system is obtained from the external physical network. Finally, the IPTV system is configured according to the target network configuration information so that the IPTV system performs network communication according to the target network configuration information. In this way, by creating the target network device and configuring the initial virtual bridge, and presetting a MAC address for it, the technical solution effectively solves the problem of device identification missing caused by the cancellation of the wired interface after the miniaturization of IPTV. This preset MAC address can be used as a unified device identification for the entire IPTV system or a specific business application, ensuring that the business application can normally identify and manage the device. By allowing the use of an external network device and configuring it into the target virtual bridge based on the created target network device, a more flexible network access method is provided. At the same time, since all network communications are carried out through the target virtual bridge and carry a unified MAC address, this helps to reduce network conflicts and misidentifications, thereby enhancing the stability of network communications.

[0069] In a possible approach, the IPTV system is a system that does not include a wired Ethernet interface.

[0070] It is worth noting that IPTV systems usually rely on broadband networks (including wired Ethernet) as infrastructure to transmit multimedia content. After IPTV is miniaturized, the wired Ethernet interface is removed, and the device directly loses the ability to access the wired network in a traditional way. This poses a challenge to scenarios that require stable, high-speed network connections and network authentication or service authentication based on MAC addresses. In many IPTV application scenarios, the MAC address of the device is key information for network access, content distribution, service authentication, etc. The lack of an Ethernet interface may cause the device to be unable to be directly identified or authenticated in the network, thereby affecting the normal operation of the service. Therefore, the present disclosure is applicable to IPTV systems that do not include wired Ethernet interfaces, as well as to other IPTV systems that can configure virtual network devices so that they can be mapped to USB network cards or other network interfaces to identify and use the network connection provided by external network devices, while retaining the ability to access and control the MAC address of the device. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited to this.

[0071] In a possible manner, before creating the target network device in the IPTV system, the following steps are also included:

[0072] Create an initial virtual bridge in the IPTV system;

[0073] Get the preset MAC address;

[0074] Assign the MAC address to the initial virtual bridge.

[0075] For example, during the production stage of an IPTV device, the manufacturer can write a specific MAC address to a specific location in the device's eMMC (Embedded MultiMediaCard) storage as needed. This step is usually completed before the device leaves the factory to ensure that each device has a unique MAC address. The specific location where the MAC address is written to the eMMC depends on the firmware design and storage layout of the device, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Then, when the IPTV device is turned on, its firmware or operating system will perform a series of initialization operations, including reading a preset MAC address from the eMMC. The firmware or operating system will access the specific location in the eMMC where the MAC address is stored, and read the address into the memory for subsequent use.

[0076] During the network configuration phase of the IPTV system, the system creates an initial virtual bridge. The initial virtual bridge is used to connect different network interfaces to forward and manage network traffic. Then, the system configures the preset MAC address previously read from the eMMC to the initial virtual bridge. In this way, the virtual bridge can use the preset MAC address as its unique identifier in the network.

[0077] Among the possible ways, creating a target network device in the IPTV system includes:

[0078] Get the network device connection status of the IPTV system;

[0079] According to the connection status of the network device, determine whether the IPTV system is connected to the external network device;

[0080] When the IPTV system is connected to the external network device, a target network device is created in the IPTV system based on the external network device.

[0081] For example, the dev / socket / netd interface is a socket interface created by the netd service (Network Daemon). By creating a new local socket to communicate with it, the change information of the network interface can be obtained from the netd service. Therefore, the network device connection status of the IPTV system can be obtained through the / dev / socket / netd interface monitoring, and then it can be determined whether the IPTV system is connected to an external network device. For example, when the network device connection status of the target network interface is determined by the / dev / socket / netd interface to be after the USB network card is inserted, it can be determined that the IPTV system is connected to the external network device. Of course, other methods can also be used to determine whether the IPTV system is connected to an external network device, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0082] For example, in a dynamic network environment, in addition to adding the target network device to the virtual bridge, the situation where the device is removed can also be handled. In the present disclosure, network device change events from the netd service or other network monitoring mechanisms can be continuously monitored, and whether new notifications or events are arriving is constantly checked. When a new network device change event is received and parsed as a target network device removal event, the target network device can be removed from the target virtual bridge. In this way, the IPTV system in the present disclosure can flexibly handle changes in network devices, including adding the target network device to the virtual bridge when needed, and removing it when no longer needed.

[0083] Therefore, in a possible manner, configuring the target network device into the initial virtual network bridge to obtain a target virtual network bridge including the target network device includes:

[0084] Acquire a first network device change event of the IPTV system;

[0085] In the case where the first network device change event is a network device addition event, the target network device is configured into the initial virtual network bridge to obtain a target virtual network bridge of the target network device.

[0086] In a possible manner, after configuring the target network device into the initial virtual network bridge to obtain the target virtual network bridge including the target network device, the method further includes:

[0087] Obtain a second network device change event of the IPTV system;

[0088] When the second network device change event is a network device removal event, the target network device is removed from the target virtual network bridge.

[0089] In a possible manner, before obtaining the target network configuration information of the IPTV system from the external physical network through the target virtual bridge based on the MAC address, the method further includes:

[0090] Get the network connection status of the target network interface corresponding to the target network device;

[0091] According to the network connection status, it is determined that the IPTV system establishes a connection with the external physical network through the target network device.

[0092] For example, before obtaining the target network configuration information of the IPTV system from the external physical network through the target virtual network bridge, it is necessary to ensure that the IPTV system has established a connection with the external physical network.

[0093] Specifically, the network connection status of the target network interface corresponding to the target network device can be queried, and based on the network connection status, it can be determined whether the IPTV system has established a connection with the external physical network. For example, when the IPTV system confirms that the USB network card is correctly connected to the physical network, a network online event is triggered. This event is a signal inside the system, which is used to notify other components or services that the target network interface is ready to communicate with the external physical network. After triggering the network online event, the IPTV system will check the network connection status of the target network interface. When it is confirmed that the target network interface has established a connection with the external physical network, and the configuration information of the network interface also meets the requirements of the IPTV system, it is confirmed that the IPTV system has established a connection with the external physical network. At this time, the system triggers a request to obtain the target network configuration information of the IPTV system.

[0094] In this way, it can be ensured that after the IPTV system establishes a stable connection with the external physical network, the request for obtaining the target network configuration information is triggered, thereby ensuring that the system can operate normally and provide services.

[0095] In a possible manner, based on the MAC address, the target network configuration information of the IPTV system is obtained from the external physical network through the target virtual bridge, including:

[0096] Get the network configuration request sent by the IPTV system;

[0097] Based on the MAC address, the network configuration request is forwarded through the target virtual bridge;

[0098] The target network device receives the network configuration request forwarded by the target virtual network bridge, and sends the network configuration request to the network service device in the external physical network;

[0099] In response to the network configuration request, the network service device distributes target network configuration information to the target virtual bridge.

[0100] It should be understood that the network service device is one or more devices in the external physical network, which is responsible for processing network requests, providing network services, etc. In the present disclosure, the network service device can be a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, a network configuration server, or any other device that can respond to a specific type of network configuration request. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0101] For example, first, the IPTV system generates a network configuration request, and the target virtual bridge decides whether to forward the request based on the MAC address information carried in the request. If the network configuration request comes from a preset MAC address or meets other forwarding conditions, the target virtual bridge broadcasts the request to one or more related devices in the target virtual bridge. After the target network device receives the network configuration request from the target virtual bridge, it sends it to the external physical network. After receiving the network configuration request, the network service device generates the target network configuration information according to the content of the request, and sends the target network configuration information back to the target network device through the external physical network. The target network device then forwards the response to the target virtual bridge, and the target virtual bridge finally passes the response to the IPTV system.

[0102] It is worth noting that the present disclosure focuses on the forwarding process of requests and responses through the target virtual bridge and the target network device. In actual operation, the network service device may not directly send the response back to the target virtual bridge, but send it back to the source address of the original request (i.e., the network interface of the IPTV system). Then, the IPTV system receives the response through the network interface and configures its network settings accordingly. This situation also belongs to the forwarding process of requests and responses through the target virtual bridge and the target network device in the present disclosure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure will not be repeated in comparison.

[0103] In this way, by using virtual bridges and target network devices, the IPTV system can more flexibly connect to the external physical network and obtain the required network configuration information. This method does not rely on direct connection of the physical network interface, making the network configuration more flexible and changeable.

[0104] In addition, the virtual bridge and the target network device can serve as the boundary of network isolation, limiting which devices or requests can be forwarded to the external physical network through preset MAC addresses or other security policies. This helps prevent unauthorized access and potential network security threats. By bridging the virtual bridge and the external physical network through the target network device, network resources can be used more efficiently. For example, multiple network interfaces can be simulated in a virtual environment without the need to equip each interface with physical hardware, thereby saving costs and simplifying network management. Centralized management of virtual bridges and target network devices can greatly simplify the network configuration and management process. When the IPTV system needs to be expanded or migrated to a new network environment, the network configuration method based on virtual bridges and target network devices can be more easily implemented. It is only necessary to reconfigure the network components in the virtual environment without making extensive changes to the physical network.

[0105] In summary, the process of obtaining the target network configuration information of the IPTV system from the external physical network through the target virtual bridge and the target network device has significant technical effects in improving the flexibility of network configuration, enhancing network security, optimizing network resource utilization, simplifying network management, improving system scalability, ensuring data consistency and supporting dynamic network configuration.
