Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of gateway technology, and in particular to a gateway control method, device, gateway and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In the IoT application scenario, although the existing multi-mode gateways on the market support multiple communication protocols, they still have great limitations in the use of interfaces. Current multi-mode gateways usually use a single interface protocol to access devices. For example, devices that support the UART protocol can only access the gateway through the UART interface and cannot use other interfaces. Such a design limits the access flexibility of the device and increases the complexity and confusion of users when using it. For ordinary users, they usually lack an in-depth understanding of the device communication protocol, and cannot accurately determine the protocols supported by the gateway and their corresponding interface types. In order to ensure normal communication between the device and the gateway, the user must match the correct protocol in the interface selection of the device and the gateway, which poses a significant obstacle to non-technical users. Due to this interface limitation, users may cause the device to fail to connect normally due to arbitrary interface selection, which leads to a large number of user complaints and product feedback.

[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution 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. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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.

[0045] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, specific embodiments will be further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0046] Figure 1A flow chart of a gateway control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the method specifically includes:

[0047] S11. When it is detected that the first interface of the gateway is connected to a device, identification information of multiple communication protocols included in the first interface is sent to the device, so that the device determines target identification information from the multiple identification information.

[0048] The control method of the gateway provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the gateway, which may include a power interface, multiple communication interfaces, etc. Each communication interface is connected to the main control unit of the gateway through multiple modularly designed unit circuits, and each unit circuit can correspond to devices that support different communication protocols. Devices with different communication protocols can access the gateway through the interface, and then convert them into a unified interface protocol through the unit circuit corresponding to the device, so that the main control can parse and report. Remote control is performed by accessing the cloud through a wired network or WiFi module connected to the gateway. Specifically, by detecting the access device status and controlling each unit circuit of the gateway according to the identification information of the communication protocol supported by the device, devices with different protocols can be smoothly connected to the gateway through the unit circuit.

[0049] In this embodiment, each unit circuit of each interface of the gateway corresponds to a connectable communication protocol, and each communication protocol corresponds to a unique identification information. While ensuring that the gateway and the device are powered on normally, the device accesses the gateway through any first interface of the gateway. After detecting that the first interface is accessed, the gateway actively sends the identification information of multiple communication protocols corresponding to the unit circuits included in the first interface to the device.

[0050] Furthermore, after receiving multiple identification information, the device parses the identification information and determines, from the multiple identification information, identification information corresponding to the communication protocol supported by the device as the target identification information.

[0051] S12. Receive target identification information returned by the device.

[0052] In this embodiment, the identification information may be a protocol identifier (Protocol Identifier), which is used to identify the type of communication protocol the device is using. The communication protocol may include, but is not limited to: MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport Protocol), HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), Modbus protocol, UART protocol, RS-485 protocol, etc. The gateway can select the appropriate protocol stack by reading the protocol identifier to ensure compatibility with the device. Specifically, after the device determines the target identification information, it sends it to the main control of the gateway. The main control can determine the target communication protocol supported by the current device based on the target identification information, and determine the target unit circuit corresponding to the target communication protocol in the first interface. The target unit circuit and the target communication protocol are used to enable the device to access the gateway and communicate.

[0053] S13. Determine a target unit circuit corresponding to the target identification information from a plurality of unit circuits corresponding to the first interface; and control the target unit circuit to be turned on so that the device is connected to the gateway through the target unit circuit.

[0054] In this embodiment, the main control controls other interfaces other than the first interface and all unit circuits included in other interfaces to be disconnected to save energy and processing pressure. Determine the target communication protocol and target unit circuit corresponding to the target identification information, control the target unit circuit in the first interface to be turned on, and disconnect other unit circuits, so that the device is connected to the target unit circuit through the target communication protocol. The target communication protocol can be converted into a unified communication protocol that can communicate with the gateway through the target unit circuit, and communication with the network gateway is realized. When the gateway supports direct communication through the target communication protocol, the device can be directly connected to the gateway through the target communication protocol.

[0055] The control method of the gateway provided by the embodiment of the present invention, when detecting that the first interface of the gateway is connected to a device, sends identification information of multiple communication protocols included in the first interface to the device, so that the device determines the target identification information from the multiple identification information; receives the target identification information returned by the device; determines the target unit circuit corresponding to the target identification information from the multiple unit circuits corresponding to the first interface; controls the target unit circuit to be turned on, so that the device is connected to the gateway through the target unit circuit. Thus, by detecting the access device situation and controlling each unit circuit of the gateway according to the identification information of the communication protocol supported by the device, devices of different protocols can be smoothly connected to the gateway, realizing automatic identification and matching of multiple protocols, so that users can connect devices to the gateway without being familiar with the communication protocols and interfaces.

[0056] Figure 2 A flow chart of another gateway control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the method specifically includes:

[0057] S21. When the sensing device detects that the first interface of the gateway is connected to a device, the plurality of unit circuits included in the first interface are controlled to be turned on; the communication protocol corresponding to each unit circuit included in the first interface is obtained to obtain a plurality of communication protocols; and identification information of the plurality of communication protocols is sent to the device.

[0058] In this embodiment, when a device is detected to be connected to any interface of the gateway through the sensing device set on the interface, the sensing device sends the connection information of the interface to the gateway. The gateway determines that the interface is the first interface and triggers the connection logic to control all unit circuits included in the first interface to be turned on to wait for the connection of the device, while enabling the gateway to fully connect and identify the communication protocol of the device.

[0059] Furthermore, the gateway obtains the corresponding communication protocol type from each unit circuit of the first interface in advance to form a communication protocol list, which includes all protocol information supported by the first interface. The gateway uniformly sends the identification information of multiple communication protocols to the connected device, so that the device can identify the communication protocol options supported by the gateway through multiple identification information and select the most suitable communication protocol for communication connection.

[0060] As an example, Figure 5 The structure diagram of another gateway provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The gateway may include: a first interface (interface 1), a second interface (interface 2) and a third interface (interface 3). Each interface is connected to the gateway master through a corresponding unit circuit (unit circuit 1, unit circuit 2 and unit circuit 3). The gateway master can also be connected to the power interface through a power conversion unit circuit, to the wired network interface through a conversion unit circuit, to the cloud through a wifi module, and to other unit circuits. When the first interface is connected to a device, all unit circuits in the second and third interfaces are disconnected, and the unit circuits in the first interface are controlled to be turned on, and each unit circuit of the first interface is controlled to send identification information of the communication protocol to the device.

[0061] In a possible implementation, when it is detected that the first interface of the gateway is connected to a device, other non-first interfaces included in the gateway and all unit circuits connected thereto are disconnected to ensure the uniqueness of the first interface connection and prevent interference between multiple interfaces while saving energy.

[0062] S22, so that the device obtains multiple first communication protocols supported by the first interface from the target field of each identification information, and obtains the second communication protocol supported by the device. When the multiple first communication protocols include the second communication protocol, the identification information corresponding to the second communication protocol is determined as the target identification information.

[0063] In this embodiment, the device extracts the communication protocols supported by all first interfaces contained in the target field from the multiple identification information sent by the gateway, and obtains multiple first communication protocols. At the same time, the device detects and lists the communication protocols supported by itself as the second communication protocol. The device compares its own second communication protocol with the multiple first communication protocols of the first interface one by one to find the commonly supported communication protocols. When the second communication protocol is included in the multiple first communication protocols, the device determines the identification information corresponding to the communication protocol as the target identification information, thereby matching the communication protocols. In this way, it can be ensured that the matching communication protocol can be automatically selected between the device and the gateway for connection without manual configuration by the user. Through the selection of the target identification information, the gateway and the device can achieve seamless communication, improve the compatibility and ease of use of device access, and reduce the possibility of connection failure.

[0064] As an example, assuming that the device parses the target field data as 111, indicating that the three unit circuits of the first interface of the gateway support 485, CAN, and UART protocols (multiple first communication protocols) respectively, and the device supports the 485 protocol (second communication protocol), the device returns 100 identification information to the gateway, indicating that the target communication protocol supported by the device is the 485 protocol.

[0065] S23. Receive target identification information returned by the device.

[0066] In this embodiment, similar to step S12, the specific Figure 1 For the sake of brevity, the relevant content will not be elaborated here.

[0067] S24, determining a target unit circuit corresponding to the target identification information from a plurality of unit circuits corresponding to the first interface; controlling the target unit circuit to be turned on so that the device can access the gateway through the target unit circuit; and controlling the non-target unit circuits in the first interface to be turned off.

[0068] In this embodiment, after receiving the target identification information, the gateway determines the target unit circuit of the first interface represented by the target identification information, and only controls the target unit circuit in the first interface to be turned on, so that the device connects to the gateway through the target unit circuit for communication, and at the same time controls the non-target unit circuit to be disconnected, so as to reduce communication interference and energy consumption.

[0069] In one possible implementation, when the target identification information returned by the device is not received, the second interface is determined from the non-first interface, all unit circuits included in the second interface in the control gateway are turned on, the second interface includes at least one third communication protocol, and the third communication protocol is different from the multiple communication protocols included in the first interface; a reminder message is generated to remind the device to switch to the second interface through the reminder message; when it is detected that the second interface is connected to the device, identification information of at least one third communication protocol is sent to the device.

[0070] Specifically, when the target identification information is not received, it means that all the communication protocols supported by the current first interface do not match the communication protocols supported by the device. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether the communication protocols of the unit circuits included in other interfaces match the device, that is, identify the communication protocols supported by all the unit circuits included in the non-first interface of the gateway. When any non-first interface contains at least one third communication protocol, the interface is determined to be the second interface, wherein the third communication protocol is a communication protocol that is not supported by the unit circuits of the first interface, and at the same time, all the unit circuits of the second interface are controlled to be turned on, or all the unit circuits corresponding to the third communication protocol are controlled to be turned on, and reminder information is generated according to the second interface, and the reminder information is sent to the device for display, so that the device is connected to the second interface. After the second interface is connected, the first interface and the included unit circuits can be controlled to be disconnected. When it is detected that the second interface is connected to the device, the identification information of at least one third communication protocol is sent to the device and the subsequent steps are re-executed. Or, the gateway can store the communication protocols supported by the device, determine the target interface and the unit circuit of the target interface that support the communication protocol, and generate reminder information according to the target interface and the unit circuit of the target interface, so as to remind the device to directly connect to the target interface through the reminder information, and communicate through the unit circuit of the target interface.

[0071] In a possible implementation, when the device returns multiple pieces of identification information, the method further includes:

[0072] Obtain the current gateway properties of the gateway and the data transmission properties of the device, the gateway properties include: network environment, and / or security requirements, and the data transmission properties include: data transmission efficiency, and / or data transmission type; determine the target identification information from multiple identification information based on the gateway properties and data transmission properties.

[0073] Specifically, when the device supports identification information included in multiple first interfaces, the target identification information can be selected according to the current gateway attributes and / or data attributes. When the gateway attributes include the network environment, some protocols may not be applicable in different network environments. Therefore, it is necessary to select the target identification information corresponding to the communication protocol supported by the current network environment. For example, in a low-bandwidth or high-latency environment, lightweight protocols (such as CoAP or MQTT) are more suitable for IoT devices than HTTP. In this case, a suitable communication protocol can be selected from the communication protocols supported by the device and the first interface.

[0074] When the gateway attributes include security requirements, since the device has high security requirements for data transmission in some application scenarios, it is necessary to select a communication protocol that can support encrypted transmission. The target identification information corresponding to the communication protocol that can support encrypted transmission can be determined from multiple identification information to make data transmission more secure (for example, HTTPS or MQTT overTLS)

[0075] When the data transmission attribute is data transmission efficiency, if the current scenario requires high transmission efficiency, the target identification information corresponding to the communication protocol with smaller protocol overhead and higher data transmission efficiency can be selected. For example, low-power devices usually choose lightweight communication protocols (such as CoAP or LoRa) rather than HTTP protocols with large data overhead.

[0076] When the data transmission attribute is the data transmission type, since different protocols support different data types, it is necessary to determine the target identification information corresponding to the communication protocol according to the data type that the current device needs to transmit. For example, real-time monitoring data may need to use UDP, while non-real-time data can use HTTP or other TCP protocols. The required communication protocol can be determined based on changes in data type and real-time requirements.

[0077] S25. The control gateway is connected to the device through the target unit circuit and the target communication protocol corresponding to the target identification information; when the communication requirements of the device change, repeat the step of sending the identification information of multiple communication protocols included in the first interface to the device, so that the device determines the target identification information from the multiple identification information.

[0078] In this embodiment, after the device is connected to the gateway through the target unit circuit, it can be connected to the gateway according to the target communication protocol, and the target communication protocol can be converted through the target unit circuit to achieve communication with the gateway. During the communication process, if the communication requirements of the device change, there may be a need to switch the communication protocol and then switch the unit circuit. At this time, it is necessary to re-execute the step of sending the identification information of multiple communication protocols included in the first interface to the device so that the device can determine the target identification information from multiple identification information. So that the device and the gateway can redetermine the communication interface and unit circuit. For example, when the application scenario changes, the communication requirements of the device will also change. When the device is upgraded from local monitoring to remote control, it may be necessary to switch from a local area network protocol (such as Modbus) to a protocol that supports cloud communication (such as MQTT).

[0079] As an example, Figure 6The flowchart of another control method of a gateway provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown as follows: 1. When the gateway and the device are powered on normally, the device accesses the gateway through an interface. After the gateway detects that the interface is accessed, it actively sends identification information of multiple protocols to the device. 2. After receiving the identification information of multiple protocols, the device analyzes and compares the protocol matching, and after determining that the protocol matches, returns the determined target identification information to the gateway. 3. After the gateway receives the target identification information, it further analyzes and confirms. ① The gateway master control program separately develops each interface, unit circuit and its corresponding function in a modular manner, and makes strict module distinctions. Among them, the interface signal is a sign of starting the unit circuit and the corresponding function; the determined target identification information is a sign of starting the correct function. ② When the master control detects that a certain interface is connected, it starts all the unit circuits under the interface, and at the same time starts the modular function corresponding to the interface, so that the master control sends the identification information of multiple protocols. ③ When the master control receives the target identification information, it starts the function under the communication protocol corresponding to the target representation information. 4. Through the above analysis and confirmation, the communication protocol of the access device is finally confirmed, and then the correct unit circuit is used to work, without user identification, reducing the difficulty of user use. 5. Every three unit circuits of the gateway share one interface. The interface is equipped with a sensing device, which is connected to the main control and is used to detect the access status of the interface. The power supply of all the corresponding unit circuits of the unconnected interface is disconnected to reduce power consumption. After the access is detected, the power supply of the unit circuit involved in the interface is turned on. 6. The gateway has multiple interfaces, which can meet the access of devices with various protocols and work simultaneously. 7. After a certain interface of the gateway can communicate normally, it disconnects the power supply of other unit circuits of the interface with incorrect protocols to reduce power consumption. 8. Each unit circuit of the gateway is connected to the main control separately, each is independent and does not interfere with each other.

[0080] The control method of the gateway provided by the embodiment of the present invention can detect the access device status and control each unit circuit of the gateway according to the identification information of the communication protocol supported by the device, so that devices with different protocols can be smoothly connected to the gateway, and automatic identification and matching of multiple protocols can be realized, so that users can connect the device to the gateway without being familiar with the communication protocols and interfaces. At the same time, unconnected interfaces and unused unit circuits can be disconnected in time to achieve the effect of energy saving. It is also possible to remind the device to connect to other interfaces when there is no matching communication protocol for the current interface, thereby improving the success rate of the device connecting to the gateway. When there are multiple communication protocols matching the device on the interface, the communication protocol that best suits the current gateway attributes and data transmission attributes can be selected for communication connection, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of communication between the device and the gateway.
