[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

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.

[0038] It should be noted that relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only 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", "comprises" 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. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." does not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element.

[0039] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an application environment of the network device registration method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The registration center device 100 is connected to multiple cloud management platform devices 200 and at least one network device 300 for communication, so as to realize data interaction between the registration center device 100 and multiple cloud management platform devices 200 and at least one network device 300. As a way, the registration center device and multiple cloud management platform devices and at least one network device can be connected via WIFI, ZigBee, 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G, which is not limited here.

[0040] The registration center device 100 and the plurality of cloud management platform devices 200 all have corresponding address information. The address information of the registration center device 100 and the plurality of cloud management platform devices 200 may include domain names and IP information.

[0041] In some implementations, multiple cloud management platform devices 200 are network device management platform devices deployed in different areas. Each cloud management platform device 200 can be used to manage the network devices 300 in the area.

[0042] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a network device registration method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The network device registration method can be applied to a registration center device, which stores the corresponding relationship between the address information of each cloud management platform device and the identification information of the network device. The specific process of this embodiment is described below using the registration center device as an example. Figure 2 The process shown is described in detail, and the network device registration method may specifically include the following steps:

[0043] Step 110 obtains an initial registration request sent by the network device to be registered; the initial registration request includes identification information of the network device to be registered.

[0044] The identification information is a unique identification code of the network device, and may be SN information (serial number information) and MAC address, etc.

[0045] In some implementations, after receiving the initial registration request sent by the network device to be registered, the registration center device first performs integrity verification to ensure data integrity and source reliability, and then analyzes the initial registration request to obtain identification information of the network device to be registered.

[0046] In some embodiments, after obtaining the identification information of the network device to be registered, the registration center device sends feedback information to the network device to be registered, indicating whether the registration center device correctly obtained the identification information of the network device to be registered. If the feedback information indicates that the registration center device did not correctly obtain the identification information of the network device to be registered, the network device to be registered resends the registration request to the registration center device.

[0047] Step 120: Determine the target address information corresponding to the identification information of the network device to be registered based on the correspondence between the address information of each cloud management platform device stored locally and the identification information of the network device.

[0048] In some implementations, the correspondence between the address information of each cloud management platform device and the identification information of the network device may be stored via a table, a database, or the like.

[0049] For example, the correspondence between the address information of each cloud management platform device and the identification information of the network device is shown in Table 1. If the identification information of the network device to be registered is SNA1, IPA is determined as the target address information.

[0050] Table 1

[0051] Address Information Identification Information IPA SNA1 IPA SNA2 IPB SNB1

[0052] Step 130: Send the target address information to the network device to be registered so that the network device to be registered can register with the cloud management platform device corresponding to the target address information.

[0053] It can be understood that by automatically matching network devices with cloud management platform devices through the registration center device, the tedious steps of manual configuration by the device administrator during the network device registration process are avoided, the possibility of errors is reduced, and the registration efficiency and accuracy are improved.

[0054] The network device registration method provided by the embodiment of the present invention obtains an initial registration request sent by the network device to be registered, the initial registration request includes identification information of the network device to be registered, and determines the target address information corresponding to the identification information of the network device to be registered according to the correspondence between the address information of each cloud management platform device stored locally and the identification information of the network device, and sends the target address information to the network device to be registered, so that the network device to be registered can register with the cloud management platform device corresponding to the target address information. By determining the registration address of the network device through the registration center device, the problem that the network device cannot automatically register with the corresponding cloud management platform device on demand is solved, and the device administrator is prevented from manually configuring the network devices one by one, thereby reducing the operation and maintenance costs of network device management.

[0055] In order for the registration center device to determine the target address information according to the corresponding relationship, before step 110, it specifically also includes: receiving and storing the corresponding relationship between the address information of the cloud management platform device synchronized by each cloud management platform device and the identification information of the bound network device.

[0056] In some implementations, the identification information of the network device bound to each cloud management platform device is entered into the corresponding cloud management platform device by the corresponding device administrator.

[0057] As an implementation method, a device management interface may be displayed in the cloud management platform device, and a device administrator corresponding to the cloud management platform device may input identification information of a network device to be bound to the cloud management platform device in the device management interface.

[0058] As another implementation method, identification information is affixed to the network device, and the cloud management platform device is provided with a camera. The device administrator corresponding to the cloud management platform device can scan the identification information affixed to the network device to be bound through the camera of the cloud management platform device, and enter the identification information of the network device into the cloud management platform device.

[0059] In some implementations, each cloud management platform device may send the correspondence between its own address information and the identification information of the bound network device to the registration center device in real time.

[0060] It is understandable that the registration center device can receive and update the address information of the cloud management platform device and the identification information of the bound network device in real time, ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of the corresponding relationship in the registration center device, thereby improving the accuracy of network device registration.

[0061] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a process flow of a network device registration method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The network device registration method can be applied to a network device to be registered, and a registration center device is connected to multiple cloud management platform devices in communication. The specific process of this embodiment is described below using a network device to be registered as an example. Figure 3 The process shown is described in detail, and the network device registration method may specifically include the following steps:

[0062] Step 210: Send an initial registration request to a registration center device, so that the registration center device searches for corresponding target address information according to the identification information and the corresponding relationship included in the initial registration request, and sends the target address information to the network device to be registered.

[0063] In some implementations, the network device to be registered can pre-configure the address of the registration center device as the default registration address. After the network device to be registered is started, a communication connection with the registration center device is established according to the pre-configured address information of the registration center device. After the communication connection is completed, an initial registration request is generated and sent to the registration center device.

[0064] In some implementations, when sending the initial registration request, identity authentication information is also sent to ensure the integrity of the data request and prevent other devices from registering by impersonating the network device, thereby improving the security of network device registration.

[0065] Step 220: Generate a formal registration request based on the received target address information, and send the formal registration request to the cloud management platform device corresponding to the target address information to register with the cloud management platform device corresponding to the target address information.

[0066] In some implementations, the network device to be registered modifies the locally stored default registration address according to the received target address information, generates a formal registration request according to the modified default registration address, and sends the formal registration request to the cloud management platform corresponding to the target address information.

[0067] In some implementations, the network device to be registered may register with the cloud management platform device corresponding to the target address information through a pre-configured registration notification protocol, wherein the registration notification protocol may include standard protocols such as TR069 and MQTT.

[0068] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 A flowchart of a network device registration method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The network device management system includes a registration center device, at least one network device, and multiple cloud management platform devices. The registration center device is connected to multiple cloud management platform devices and at least one network device in communication. The specific process of this embodiment is described below using the network device management system as an example. Figure 4 The process shown is described in detail, and the network device registration method may specifically include the following steps:

[0069] Step 310: The network device to be registered sends an initial registration request to the registration center device; the initial registration request includes identification information of the network device to be registered.

[0070] In some implementations, before the registration center device obtains the initial registration request sent by the network device to be registered, the registration center device receives and stores the correspondence between the address information of the cloud management platform device synchronized by each cloud management platform device and the identification information of the bound network device.

[0071] Step 320: The registration center device obtains the initial registration request, determines the target address information corresponding to the identification information of the network device to be registered based on the correspondence between the address information of each cloud management platform device stored locally and the identification information of the network device; and sends the target address information to the network device to be registered.

[0072] Step 330: The network device to be registered generates a formal registration request according to the received target address information, and sends the formal registration request to the cloud management platform device corresponding to the target address information.

[0073] In some implementations, the network device to be registered modifies the locally stored default registration address according to the received target address information, generates a formal registration request according to the modified default registration address, and sends the formal registration request to the cloud management platform corresponding to the target address information.

[0074] Step 340: The corresponding cloud management platform device receives the formal registration request to complete the registration of the network device to be registered.

[0075] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium, and the network device management system includes a registration center device 100, at least one network device 300 and multiple cloud management platform devices 200, and the registration center device 100 is communicatively connected with the multiple cloud management platform devices 200 and at least one network device 300.
