Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of printer control technology, and in particular to a printer licensing method, apparatus, device and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Document management software, also known as print management software or document output management software, is a tool for comprehensive management of office printing work. By centrally managing daily printing, copying, and scanning tasks, it effectively improves work efficiency, reduces equipment wear and tear, and controls printing costs.

[0003] Currently, printer equipment lessors can grant lessees the corresponding usage period or permissions for using the printer's document management software or a specific function within the document management software, based on actual business needs. However, in practice, situations may arise where lessee users continue to use the document management software or function after the authorization expires, or where authorization is repeatedly granted for installation and use, or where different account holders use the software for mixed purposes.

[0004] Therefore, how to prevent users from continuing to use the printer after the license expires, from repeatedly installing and using the printer with the same license, or from different account holders using the printer together has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above, this application provides a printer licensing method, apparatus, device and storage medium, the purpose of which is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] Firstly, this application provides a method for authorizing the use of a printer, the method comprising:

[0007] In response to a user's request to use the printer, obtain the server authorization code and printer authorization code to be verified carried in the request;

[0008] After decrypting the server authorization code to be verified, it is matched with the server authorization code of the pre-generated authorized account to obtain the first matching result;

[0009] After decrypting the printer authorization code to be verified, it is matched with the printer authorization code of the pre-generated authorized account to obtain a second matching result;

[0010] If both the first and second matching results indicate a successful match, then the user is activated and allowed to use the printer.

[0011] Secondly, this application provides a printer licensing device, the device comprising:

[0012] Acquisition module: used to respond to a user's request to use the printer and acquire the server authorization code and printer authorization code to be verified carried in the request;

[0013] First matching module: used to decrypt the server authorization code to be verified and match it with the server authorization code of the pre-generated authorized account to obtain the first matching result;

[0014] The second matching module is used to decrypt the printer authorization code to be verified and match it with the printer authorization code of the pre-generated authorized account to obtain a second matching result.

[0015] Activation module: If both the first matching result and the second matching result indicate a successful match, then activate and allow the user to use the printer.

[0016] Thirdly, this application provides an electronic device, including a processor, a communication interface, a memory, and a communication bus, wherein the processor, the communication interface, and the memory communicate with each other through the communication bus;

[0017] Memory, used to store computer programs;

[0018] When a processor executes a program stored in memory, it implements the printer licensing method described in any embodiment of the first aspect.

[0019] Fourthly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the printer licensing method as described in any embodiment of the first aspect.

[0020] The technical solutions provided in this application have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0021] This application, in response to a user's request to use the printer, obtains the server authorization code and printer authorization code to be verified carried in the request. After decrypting the server authorization code, it matches it with the server authorization code of a pre-generated authorized account to obtain a first matching result. Similarly, after decrypting the printer authorization code, it matches it with the printer authorization code of a pre-generated authorized account to obtain a second matching result. If both the first and second matching results indicate successful matching, the printer is activated and the user is allowed to use it. Since the printer's document management software or a specific authorization function within it may have a limited validity period, verifying the authorization code (server authorization code and printer authorization code) when a user needs to use the printer's document management software or a specific authorization function within it prevents situations such as users continuing to use the printer after its authorization has expired, repeated installation and use of the same authorization, or different account holders using the same printer for different purposes.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0030] This application provides a method for authorizing the use of a printer. (See reference...) Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the printer licensing method of this application. This method can be executed by an electronic device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware. The printer licensing method includes:

[0031] Step S10: Respond to the user's request to use the printer, and obtain the server authorization code and printer authorization code to be verified carried in the request;

[0032] Step S20: After decrypting the server authorization code to be verified, match it with the server authorization code of the pre-generated authorized account to obtain the first matching result;

[0033] Step S30: After decrypting the printer authorization code to be verified, match it with the printer authorization code of the pre-generated authorized account to obtain a second matching result;

[0034] Step S40: If both the first matching result and the second matching result indicate a successful match, then activate and allow the user to use the printer.

[0035] The printer has multiple functions such as high-speed printing, batch scanning, and print job encryption. It also includes various software such as document management software, secure printing software, and scanning software. Users can configure usage periods and permissions for these functions and software, meaning authorization is required to use these functions or software. In this embodiment, the user's use of the printer can be limited to authorized functions, authorized software, or ordinary functions; no specific limitation is made here. However, in actual printer use, situations may arise where users continue to use expired software or function licenses, licenses are repeatedly installed and used, or licenses from different account holders are mixed. Therefore, users need to verify their authorization status when using the printer.

[0036] Taking the user's use of the printer's document management software or a certain authorization function within the document management software as an example, the solution of this embodiment will be described. The user can initiate a request to use the printer by entering the server authorization code to be verified and the printer authorization code to be verified through the terminal's interactive interface. The terminal responds to the request and obtains the server authorization code and the printer authorization code to be verified carried in the request. If the server authorization code to be verified passes the verification, the server can be activated. If the printer authorization code to be verified passes the verification, the printer can be activated. After the server and printer are activated, the user can use the printer's document management software or a certain authorization function within the document management software.

[0037] A pending server authorization code refers to the authorization code assigned to a user by the server after the user has obtained authorization for the printer's document management software. This server authorization code is generated using the server's hardware serial number and relevant information about the authorized account. Similarly, a pending printer authorization code refers to the authorization code assigned to a user by the printer after the user has obtained authorization for the printer's document management software. This printer authorization code is generated using the printer's hardware serial number, network address, and relevant information about the authorized account.

[0038] After decrypting the server authorization code to be verified, the decryption result includes the server's basic code and the user's relevant information. This decryption result is then matched against the pre-generated server authorization code of the authorized account to obtain a matching result (denoted as the first matching result). The authorized account's server authorization code is generated by encrypting the authorized account's server hardware basic code and related information. If the first matching result indicates a successful match, it means the server authorization code has passed verification, and server activation is successful. If the first matching result indicates a failed match, it means the server authorization code has failed verification, and server activation fails, meaning the user is not allowed to use the printer's document management software or any authorization function within the document management software.

[0039] After decrypting the printer authorization code to be verified, the decryption result includes the printer's hardware serial number, network address, and authorized account information. This decryption result is then matched with a pre-generated printer authorization code for the authorized account to obtain a matching result (referred to as the second matching result). The authorized account's printer authorization code is generated by encrypting the printer's hardware serial number, network address, and authorized account information. If the second matching result indicates a successful match, the printer authorization code has passed verification, and the printer is successfully activated. If the second matching result indicates a failed match, the printer authorization code has failed verification, and printer activation fails, meaning the user is not allowed to use the printer's document management software or any authorization function within the document management software.

[0040] If both the first and second matching results indicate a successful match, the server and printer are both successfully activated. At this point, the user is allowed to use the printer's document management software or a specific authorized function within the document management software. If the first and / or second matching results indicate a failed verification, the server and / or printer activation fails. In this case, the user is denied access to the printer's document management software or a specific authorized function within the document management software.

[0041] Since authorizations may have a certain expiration date and usage time, when users need to use the printer's document management software or a certain authorization function in the document management software, they can verify the authorization by using two authorization codes: the authorization code to be verified on the server and the authorization code to be verified on the printer. This can prevent users from continuing to use the printer after the authorization has expired, repeatedly installing and using the same authorization, or mixing authorizations from different account holders.

[0042] In one embodiment, the process of generating the server authorization code for the authorized account includes:

[0043] Read multiple hardware serial numbers from the server;

[0044] After encrypting each hardware serial number of the server, the encrypted results are concatenated to obtain the server hardware base code of the authorized account.

[0045] Read the relevant information of the authorized account;

[0046] The server hardware base code of the authorized account is combined with the relevant information of the authorized account to generate the first string to be encrypted;

[0047] The first string to be encrypted is encrypted to obtain the server authorization code of the authorized account.

[0048] The system reads the server's motherboard serial number, CPU serial number, C drive hard drive serial number, etc., and encrypts each hardware serial number using the MD5 algorithm. The encrypted results for each hardware serial number are then concatenated and converted into a full-uppercase string to serve as the server hardware base code for the authorized account. The system then reads the relevant information of the authorized account, including at least one of the following: printer license validity period, account information, license version number, and value-added service information. The server hardware base code and the relevant information of the authorized account are combined to generate a standard JSON string (denoted as the first string to be encrypted). This first string is then encrypted using the AES algorithm to obtain the server authorization code for the authorized account.

[0049] Furthermore, the aforementioned step of "decrypting the server authorization code to be verified and matching it with the server authorization code of the pre-generated authorized account to obtain a first matching result" specifically includes:

[0050] The authorization code of the server to be verified is decrypted to obtain the decrypted basic code of the server to be verified and the relevant information of the user.

[0051] The server base code to be verified is compared with the server hardware base code of the authorized account to obtain the first comparison result;

[0052] The user's relevant information is compared with the authorized account's relevant information to obtain a second comparison result;

[0053] If both the first comparison result and the second comparison result indicate a match, then the first matching result indicates a successful match.

[0054] The AES algorithm is used to decrypt the authorization code of the server to be verified, obtaining the decrypted basic code of the server to be verified and the user's relevant information (including printer authorization period, main account information, authorization version number, and value-added service information). The decryption result is a standard JSON string. The decrypted basic code of the server to be verified is compared with the server hardware basic code of the authorized account, obtaining a comparison result (denoted as the first comparison result). The server hardware basic code of the authorized account can also be obtained by re-encrypting and concatenating multiple hardware serial numbers of the server. The user's relevant information is compared with the relevant information of the authorized account, obtaining a comparison result (denoted as the second comparison result). If both the first and second comparison results indicate a match, the first matching result indicates a successful match. After a successful match, the authorization-related information is written, resulting in successful server activation. If there is an inconsistency between the two comparison results, the first matching result indicates a matching failure. For example, if the user's relevant information is inconsistent with the authorized account's relevant information (e.g., inconsistent authorization period, inconsistent main account information, etc.), the server cannot be activated at this time. This can prevent the user from continuing to use the device after the authorization expires, the device from being repeatedly authorized for installation and use, or the printer being used by different account holders.

[0055] In one embodiment, the process of generating the printer authorization code for the authorized account includes:

[0056] Read the printer's hardware serial number and network address;

[0057] Read the relevant information of the authorized account;

[0058] The printer's hardware serial number, the network address, and the authorized account's relevant information are combined based on preset combination rules to obtain a second string to be encrypted;

[0059] The second string to be encrypted is encrypted to obtain the printer authorization code of the authorized account.

[0060] The printer's motherboard serial number, brand and model, MAC address, IP address, and other information are retrieved to generate a labeled JSON string. Relevant information from the authorized account (including printer license validity period, main account information, license version number, and value-added service information) is read and combined to form the string to be encrypted (denoted as the second string to be encrypted) according to the following rules:

[0061] [Motherboard Serial Number @=@Brand and Model @=@MAC Address @=@IP Address @=@Authorized Usage Period @=@Main Account Information]. It should be noted that the preset combination rules can also use other characters for concatenation, and the order of concatenation can also be changed. No specific restrictions are placed on the concatenated characters or their order here. The second string to be encrypted is then encrypted using the AES algorithm to obtain the printer authorization code for the authorized account.

[0062] Furthermore, the step of "decrypting the printer authorization code to be verified and matching it with the printer authorization code of the pre-generated authorized account to obtain a second matching result" specifically includes:

[0063] The authorization code of the printer to be verified is decrypted to obtain the decrypted hardware serial number to be verified, the network address to be verified, and the relevant information of the user.

[0064] The hardware serial number to be verified is matched with the hardware serial number of the printer;

[0065] Match the network address to be verified with the network address of the printer;

[0066] Match the user's information with the information of the authorized account;

[0067] If both matches are successful, the second matching result indicates a successful match.

[0068] The AES algorithm is used to decrypt the printer authorization code to be verified, obtaining the decrypted hardware serial number, network address, and user information. This decryption result is a plaintext rule string. The field information is extracted using "@=@" to obtain the hardware serial number, network address, and user information. The motherboard serial number, brand and model, MAC address, IP address, user's authorization period, and user's main account information of the printer to be verified are matched with the corresponding information in the printer authorization code of the authorized account. The matching result is recorded as the second matching result. If all matches are successful, it means that the second matching result indicates a successful match.

[0069] If the hardware serial number to be verified fails to match the printer's hardware serial number, or the network address to be verified fails to match the printer's network address, or the user's information fails to match the authorized account's information, then the matching result in Explanation Two indicates a matching failure. For example, if the printer's motherboard serial number fails to match, or the IP address fails to match, or the license period fails to match, the printer cannot be activated. This prevents situations where users continue to use the printer after the license expires, where licenses are repeatedly installed and used, or where different account holders use the same printer.
