Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communications, and in particular to a method and device for selling lock areas of smart devices, electronic equipment and storage media. Background Art

[0002] As the globalization of smart products accelerates, the smart device market is increasingly showing cross-border characteristics. The demand for smart devices in different countries and regions is growing, but it is also accompanied by complex and diverse market rules, laws and regulations, and cultural differences. Market regional price differences, economic development levels, consumption capacity, market competition conditions and other factors in different regions have led to significant differences in the selling prices of smart devices in different regions. This price difference provides arbitrage opportunities for buying devices from low-priced regions and reselling them to high-priced regions. In addition, in the face of regional restrictions and legal and regulatory differences in sales and deployment around the world, traditional sales models may not be able to effectively respond to these challenges, resulting in the inability of devices to be used normally in specific regions or legal risks.

[0003] The Chinese invention patents with publication numbers CN118014590A and CN107948252A were published on May 10, 2024 and April 20, 2018, respectively, disclosing different methods of counterfeiting. However, both solutions focus on how to control the post-sales stage, while the other focuses on how to control the production stage, thereby better improving the requirements for counterfeiting. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art and to provide a method and apparatus for selling lock zones of smart devices, an electronic device and a storage medium, which aims to solve the technical problem of the prior art that anti-counterfeiting goods are not controlled in the production stage.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention proposes a method for selling a lock zone of a smart device, comprising the following steps: The customer places an order, selects the corresponding product, enters the sales area and other order information, and then generates a sales order; Automatically synchronize sales orders to the business support system, and the person in charge of the order center confirms the sales order information and compliance; After the sales order is confirmed, the system automatically transfers the production demand and creates a production work order; The production work order is sent to the production factory, which uses the burning tool to enter the production work order number and obtain the corresponding activation code from the cloud; Burn the activation code into the device module and establish the relationship between the activation code and the sales area in the cloud; The user purchases this product and requests the cloud to perform network configuration operations. During the device activation process, the cloud obtains the regional information associated with the device based on the activation code and matches it with the region where the user's network configuration request IP is located. If the match is successful, it can continue to be used normally, otherwise it cannot be used.

[0006] Preferably, the sales order information includes sales quantity, expected delivery time and price.

[0007] As a preferred method, the steps of the user network configuration control process are as follows: The user operates the APP to perform network configuration operations and connects the device with the APP to the Wifi hotspot; Connect the product to the corresponding WiFi and operate it in a local area network; Activate the product, obtain the activation code, and obtain the sales region based on the activation code; Verify the legality of the sales area.

[0008] As a preferred method, the steps to verify the legality of the sales area are as follows: The region where the requesting IP is located; The sales region for the activation code.

[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention proposes a storage device for the sales lock area of ​​a smart device, a sales order synchronization module, which synchronizes the sales order generated after the customer selects the corresponding product when placing an order, enters the sales area and other order information; The business support system module has the order manager check the data synchronized from the sales order synchronization module to confirm the sales order information and compliance; The production work order module automatically converts the modules confirmed in the business support system module into production requirements and creates production work orders; Burning module: the production factory uses the burning tool to input the production work order number, obtain the corresponding activation code from the cloud, burn the activation code into the device module, and establish the relationship between the activation code and the sales area in the cloud; The network configuration module requests the cloud to perform network configuration operations. During the device activation process, the cloud obtains the regional information associated with the device based on the activation code and matches it with the region where the user's network configuration request IP is located.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes an electronic device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor implements the steps of the above-mentioned method for selling lock areas of smart devices when executing the computer program.

[0011] To achieve the above object, the present invention proposes a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of the method for selling a lock zone of a smart device are implemented.

[0016] in: DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention is further described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, in the following description, the description of known structures and technologies is omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the present invention.

[0018] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0019] In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined. "Several" means one or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0020] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0021] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to solve the problem of introducing smart devices from low-priced areas to high-priced areas for sale, as well as compliance in overseas sales, and to ensure that the devices meet the legal and regulatory requirements of the target market during cross-border sales, and to avoid legal risks, we have introduced an efficient region locking technology method, which is designed for a comprehensive business support system, which covers an order system and a production system. The specific method is as follows: In the order creation stage, the user needs to clearly select the target sales area, and enter detailed order information, including price, quantity and expected delivery time, etc., and confirm regional compliance. The order is automatically converted into production demand, and a production work order is generated and connected to the designated factory. When creating, an order number will be automatically generated, and the order number will be numbered according to the actual area. For example, the order number in Zhejiang is ZJ, and the order number in Jiangsu is JS. After the first two digits are numbered, the name duplication check stage will be entered. Generally, the order number only takes the first two digits. If the name has three or more digits, the second digit of the number is automatically converted to lowercase, and the abbreviation behind is omitted. For example, Heilongjiang is numbered as Hl. The first two digits of the number are checked for duplication. If the name is found to be repeated, further numbering is required to distinguish. If not, it will be left blank without additional numbering. For example, Hubei (HB) and Hebei (HB) are the same and are further distinguished by direction as Hubei (HBS) and Hebei (HBN). The directions are east E, south S, west W and north N. If there is no duplication, such as ZJ, it is still output as ZJ.

[0022] If it is for international delivery, the first step is to do international naming, using the abbreviations of each country. For example, China is CHN and the United States is USA. Then do the order numbering of the above provinces.

[0023] At the factory, we use the burning tool to retrieve and lock the target sales area information from the cloud by entering the production work order number, burn the relevant information into the device module, and establish the relationship between the device and the sales area in the cloud. This step ensures that the device has a regional lock mark when it leaves the factory, building the first line of defense for subsequent use management. The production work order number contains the order number, which is first recorded in the cloud.

[0024] In the user network configuration link, the cloud verifies whether the device information is consistent with the region where the network configuration IP is located, thereby intelligently limiting the scope of product use, effectively eliminating cross-border reselling and cross-selling, and ensuring the legal and compliant sales of equipment in various countries' markets, helping companies avoid potential legal risks and economic losses, and helping the steady expansion of smart devices in the global market. When users purchase this product and equipment, they request the cloud to perform network configuration operations. During the device activation process, the cloud obtains the regional information associated with the device based on the activation code and matches it with the region where the user's network configuration request IP is located. Once the match is successful, the order number stored in the cloud will send the naming number at the time to the user and supplier. The supplier sent is a supplier in the same territory that is located by GPS. The supplier checks the order number and the location described by itself. If there is no problem, the match is passed and the user can use it normally. Once the supplier clicks to confirm, it will be closed, the GPS will be disconnected immediately, and the supplier can no longer see the location.

[0025] The company has implemented a full-chain management system from the sales front end to the production back end, and then to the use of user smart devices, and implemented lock zone control technology. This technology ensures that each device can only be activated and used within its legal sales area, effectively building a solid line of defense to combat cross-border reselling and mixed goods, and ensuring the legal and compliant circulation of devices in global markets. It effectively helps companies avoid legal disputes and economic losses that may be caused by illegal sales.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the present invention provides a method for selling a lock region of a smart device, comprising the following steps: The customer places an order, selects the corresponding product, enters the sales area and other order information, and generates a sales order. The locked area is determined in the customer's order information to prevent subsequent users from activating the product by changing the IP address; Automatically synchronize sales orders to the business support system, and the person in charge of the order center confirms the sales order information and compliance; After the sales order is confirmed, the system automatically transfers the production demand and creates a production work order; The production work order is sent to the production factory, which uses the burning tool to enter the production work order number and obtain the corresponding activation code from the cloud; Burn the activation code into the device module and establish the relationship between the activation code and the sales area in the cloud; When users purchase this product, they request the cloud to perform network configuration. During the device activation process, the cloud obtains the regional information associated with the device based on the activation code and matches it with the region where the user's network configuration request IP is located. If the match is successful, the device can continue to be used normally. Otherwise, it cannot be used. (GPS positioning can also be used here for dual positioning, so as to obtain double insurance.) Among them, the information of sales orders includes sales quantity, expected delivery time and price.

[0027] The steps of the user network configuration control process are as follows: The user operates the APP to perform network configuration operations and connects the device with the APP to the Wifi hotspot; Connect the product to the corresponding WiFi and operate it in a local area network; Activate the product, obtain the activation code, and obtain the sales region based on the activation code; Verify the legality of the sales area.

[0028] The steps to verify the legality of the sales region are as follows: The region where the requesting IP is located; The sales region for the activation code.

[0029] The present invention also provides a storage device for a sales lock area of ​​a smart device, comprising: The sales order synchronization module synchronizes the sales orders generated after the customer selects the corresponding product, enters the sales area and other order information when placing an order; The business support system module has the order manager check the data synchronized from the sales order synchronization module to confirm the sales order information and compliance; The production work order module automatically converts the modules confirmed in the business support system module into production requirements and creates production work orders; Burning module: the production factory uses the burning tool to input the production work order number, obtain the corresponding activation code from the cloud, burn the activation code into the device module, and establish the relationship between the activation code and the sales area in the cloud; The network configuration module requests the cloud to perform network configuration operations. During the device activation process, the cloud obtains the regional information associated with the device based on the activation code and matches it with the region where the user's network configuration request IP is located.
