Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent POS security, and in particular relates to a remote network control method for an intelligent POS system. Background Art

[0002] The POS system consists of hardware devices and corresponding software. The hardware devices include cash registers, barcode scanners, data displays, receipt printers, electronic scales, magnetic field readers, closed cash boxes, information recording and transmission equipment, etc. The software part includes the front-end sales system and the back-end information management system.

[0003] With the development of electronic payment technology, smart mobile payment devices based on the Android system have been widely used in various consumption scenarios. In order to ensure the system security of the device and avoid the risk of smart POS being attacked by network attacks due to illegal domain names browsed by mistake when users use smart POS applications to access the network, it is necessary to transform and optimize them. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a remote network management and control method for an intelligent POS system to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a remote network control method for an intelligent POS system, the method steps are:

[0006] S1, power on, start network control service: the smart POS starts up to perform hardware detection and check whether the network control function is enabled. If enabled, enter S3; if not, enter S2;

[0007] S2, log in to the remote intelligent POS management platform: the administrator logs in to the remote intelligent POS management platform and issues instructions to update the network control whitelist and enable the function. After confirming that the network control function is enabled, enter S3. If the administrator does not issue an enable instruction, enter S4;

[0008] S3, load the whitelist and filter the applications: the network control service filters the applications that apply for network access rights according to the whitelist; if the application is not in the whitelist, it goes to S5; if it is in the whitelist, it goes to S6;

[0009] S4: No screening is performed on applications for network access rights: The network control service does not enable the screening function, and all application network access requests are not filtered by the whitelist and directly enter S6;

[0010] S5, reject the application for network access permission, reject the application that is not in the whitelist, and record the rejection information;

[0011] S6, Grant network access permission: Grant network permissions to the whitelisted users.

[0012] Preferably, in the steps of S1: after the smart POS starts the self-test, it performs hardware detection and system integrity verification, and at the same time, the system boot program is started and the operating system is loaded. During the startup of the operating system, the network control service is activated. After the network control service is activated, the system configuration file is read, and the status of the network control function is obtained and it is determined whether the network control function is turned on. If it is turned on, it directly enters S3, and if it is not turned on, it enters S2.

[0013] Preferably, in the step of S2: the administrator logs in to the remote smart POS management platform through identity authentication, checks the network status and control configuration of the smart POS device on the smart POS management platform interface, and issues instructions through the smart POS management platform as needed. After the smart POS receives the instructions, the network control service updates the properties of the system configuration and turns on the network control function. When it is confirmed that the network control function is turned on, enter S3. If the administrator does not issue an enable instruction, enter S4.

[0014] Preferably, in step S3: the network control service screens the applications applying for network access rights according to the latest network control whitelist, and compares whether the applications are in the whitelist. If not, proceed to S5; if in the whitelist, proceed to S6.

[0015] Preferably, the step in S5 is: the network control service rejects the network access permission application of the application that is not in the whitelist, and records the detailed information of the denied access, which includes the application package name, access domain name, and timestamp, and the network control service sends a prompt message to the application that applies for network access that denies access.

[0016] Preferably, the steps in S6 are: the network control service grants network access rights to the applications in the whitelist; the steps in S6 are: the network control service grants network access rights to the applications in the whitelist, and the authorized applications can successfully connect to the network and exchange data, while the network control service monitors the network security behavior of the applications.

[0017] Preferably, the network management and control service: also often referred to as network management, is the process of comprehensive management of all hardware, software and services in the network system. This process involves the configuration, use, scheduling and management of network equipment. The purpose is to monitor, detect, analyze, evaluate and control network resources to ensure the normal operation of the network and the rational use of resources to meet user needs.

[0018] Preferably, the whitelist refers to a security policy and mechanism that allows specific users, IP addresses, domain names, port numbers or applications to pass the system's access control.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0020] Through the remote smart POS management platform, the present invention allows enterprises to conveniently send instructions to their subordinate smart POS devices. These instructions can dynamically modify the network access whitelist of the smart POS system, thereby enabling the network control function. This function strictly limits the network range that the smart POS application can access, and only allows access to preset, verified legal domain names. This measure greatly reduces the risk of smart POS devices being attacked by network attacks due to access to illegal or malicious domain names. By finely managing network access rights, enterprises can more effectively protect the security of sensitive data and transaction information, prevent data leakage and illegal tampering. This intelligent network control method not only improves the security of the smart POS system, but also provides enterprises with a more reliable payment and transaction environment, ensuring the stable operation of the business. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the process of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a remote network control method for an intelligent POS system, the method steps are:

[0024] S1, power on, start network control service: the smart POS starts up to perform hardware detection and check whether the network control function is enabled. If enabled, enter S3; if not, enter S2;

[0025] S2, log in to the remote intelligent POS management platform: the administrator logs in to the remote intelligent POS management platform and issues instructions to update the network control whitelist and enable the function. After confirming that the network control function is enabled, enter S3. If the administrator does not issue an enable instruction, enter S4;

[0026] S3, load the whitelist and filter the applications: the network control service filters the applications that apply for network access rights according to the whitelist; if the application is not in the whitelist, it goes to S5; if it is in the whitelist, it goes to S6;

[0027] S4: No screening is performed on applications for network access rights: The network control service does not enable the screening function, and all application network access requests are not filtered by the whitelist and directly enter S6;

[0028] S5, reject the application for network access permission, reject the application that is not in the whitelist, and record the rejection information;

[0029] S6, Grant network access permission: Grant network permissions to the whitelisted users.

[0030] Through the remote smart POS management platform, enterprises can easily send instructions to their subordinate smart POS devices. These instructions can dynamically modify the network access whitelist of the smart POS system, thereby enabling the network control function. This function strictly limits the network range that the smart POS application can access, and only allows access to preset, verified legal domain names. This measure greatly reduces the risk of smart POS devices being attacked by network attacks due to access to illegal or malicious domain names. By finely managing network access rights, enterprises can more effectively protect the security of sensitive data and transaction information, prevent data leakage and illegal tampering. This intelligent network control method not only improves the security of the smart POS system, but also provides enterprises with a more reliable payment and transaction environment, ensuring the stable operation of the business.

[0031] Among them, in the steps of S1: the smart POS starts self-checking, performs hardware detection and system integrity verification; the system boot program starts and loads the operating system; in the system startup process, the network control service is activated as one of the system services; after the network control service is loaded, the system configuration file is read to obtain the status of the network control function; it is determined whether the network control function is enabled: if it is enabled, directly enter S3; if not, enter S2.

[0032] The remote network control method of the intelligent POS system first self-checks the hardware and system integrity when starting up, then starts the system and activates the network control service. After the service is loaded, the configuration file is read to determine the status of the network control function. If it is enabled, the subsequent steps are directly executed. If it is not enabled, the configuration activation process is entered to ensure the security control of network access.

[0033] Among them, in the steps in S2: the administrator logs in to the remote smart POS management platform through identity authentication; the administrator checks the network status and control configuration of the smart POS device on the management platform interface; the administrator issues instructions through the management platform as needed, including updating the network control whitelist and enabling the network control function; after the smart POS receives the instructions, the network control service updates the system configuration properties and enables the network control function; after confirming that the network control function is enabled, enter S3, if the administrator does not issue an enable instruction, enter S4.

[0034] The administrator logs in to the remote management platform through verification and checks the network status and control configuration of the smart POS. As needed, the administrator can issue instructions to update the network whitelist and enable the control function. After receiving the instructions, the smart POS updates the configuration and enables the control, and continues after confirmation; if there is no enable instruction, it enters S4. This process realizes remote flexible configuration and management.

[0035] Among them, in the step S3: the network control service reads the latest network control whitelist; screens the applications applying for network access rights, and compares whether the package name of the application and the domain name accessed are in the whitelist. If not, enter S5; if in the whitelist, enter S6.

[0036] The network control service will read the latest network control whitelist and strictly screen the applications that apply for network access rights. By comparing the package name of the application and the domain name to be accessed, the service can decide whether to allow the application to access the network. If it is not in the whitelist, it will enter the security processing process S5. If it is in the whitelist, it will be allowed to access the network normally and enter the S6 step for subsequent processing. This process ensures the network security of the smart POS system.

[0037] Among them, the steps in S5 are: the network control service rejects the network access permission application of the application not in the whitelist; records the detailed information of the denied access, including the application package name, access domain name, and timestamp; returns a prompt message of denied access to the application applying for network access.

[0038] The network control service will reject network access permission requests from applications that are not in the whitelist. At the same time, the service will record the access denial information in detail, including the package name of the application, the domain name attempted to be accessed, and the timestamp of the occurrence. In addition, the service will send a clear access denial prompt message to the application requesting access. This process helps to enhance the security of the smart POS system and prevent unauthorized network access.

[0039] The steps in S6 are: the network control service grants network access rights to the application in the whitelist; the application successfully connects to the network and exchanges data; and the network security behavior of the application is monitored to ensure that network access complies with security specifications.

[0040] The network control service will grant network access rights to applications in the whitelist, allowing the applications to successfully connect to the network and exchange data. At the same time, the service will continue to monitor the network security behavior of these applications to ensure that their network access activities comply with established security regulations. This process helps ensure that the smart POS system maintains a high level of network security while allowing network access.

[0041] Among them, the network control service: also often referred to as network management, is the process of comprehensive management of all hardware, software and services in the network system. This process involves the configuration, use, scheduling and control of network equipment. The purpose is to monitor, detect, analyze, evaluate and control network resources to ensure the normal operation of the network and the rational use of resources to meet user needs.

[0042] Network control services, also known as network management, comprehensively manage the hardware, software and services in the network system. It involves the configuration, use, scheduling and control of network equipment, and aims to monitor, detect, analyze, evaluate and control network resources, ensure stable network operation, and reasonably allocate resources to meet user needs. This service is crucial to maintaining network security, improving network performance and optimizing resource utilization.

[0043] The whitelist refers to a security policy and mechanism that allows specific users, IP addresses, domain names, port numbers or applications to pass the system's access control.

[0044] As a security strategy, whitelisting allows specific users, IP addresses, domain names, port numbers or applications to pass system access control through preset rules, effectively preventing unauthorized access, improving system security, and ensuring that only trusted entities can access network resources.

[0045] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0046] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
