[0018] Techniques and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0019] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0020] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures. Example

[0021] The present invention provides a wireless device networking configuration-free method, such as Figure 1 As shown, S101: Create a plan; Specifically, plans are created according to specified standards, and different projects and hotels are matched according to requirements to create different plans for corresponding use. At the same time, according to the future development direction of the project and the hotel, positions for products in the project are reserved to facilitate the addition of products into the project in the future.

[0022] S201: Send the solution through the cloud platform; Specifically, the designated plan is sent to the designated room of the designated hotel through the cloud platform according to the project requirements, so that the product network is arranged in the hotel room according to the plan.

[0023] The cloud platform refers to a management platform that transmits data with the host through a communication protocol.

[0024] S301: The host computer uploads device information online; Specifically, the QR code set on the host is scanned. The QR code on the host records the host information, such as the MAC address of the host. By scanning the device, the MAC address is registered to the cloud platform and recorded through the cloud platform.

[0025] The host is provided with a matching search module and a verification processing module; the matching search module searches and matches the devices associated with the host, and the cloud platform processes the host data reporting and configuration delivery; the verification processing module performs installation anomaly verification on the matching device type.

[0026] When the host is installed in a designated room, the host communicates with the cloud platform, and the host reports the device MAC information to the cloud platform. The communication protocol between the host and the cloud platform includes but is not limited to the MQTT protocol.

[0027] The cloud platform stores the MAC address recorded by the QR code for host matching. After the match is successful, the cloud platform sends the corresponding solution to the host, and the host configures the information to the device according to the solution sent by the cloud host.

[0028] The scanned QR code enters the cloud platform, and the QR code generation rules need to be standardized, defining the QR code generation rules, information parsing, and reporting cloud platform. The QR code generation rules define the format of the QR code.

[0029] The QR code contains information and standardized information rules; information parsing is the encryption processing of the encrypted product information on the QR code after the QR code is scanned.

[0030] The QR code is a QR code.

[0031] The device's unique ID (serial number) is the MAC or ID written into the device software. The content is all numbers or letters (uppercase), without colons (:).

[0032] deviceType: device type, i.e. the product code of the device, 4 digits are required, and all the content must be numbers or letters (uppercase).

[0033] PN: The product part number corresponding to the device.

[0034] The encryption algorithms are Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

[0035] One of the functions of the QR code is that the current networking communication protocol is in broadcast form. When the host and devices are networked, all devices will be searched by the host. When the device QR code is scanned to the cloud platform, the cloud platform collects the uploaded information and sets it as a whitelist. When the host retrieves the device, it will only connect to the network with the devices in the whitelist.

[0036] S401: Host and device communicate, device networking; Specifically, according to the provisions of the plan, the device is placed in the room, the host and the device communicate through the protocol to form a device network, and the protocol between the subject and the device includes but is not limited to RS485.

[0037] The host searches for devices based on the communication protocol, and the devices are networked. After networking, the new host reports the device MAC to the cloud platform.

[0038] S402: The host performs installation abnormality check; Specifically, I. Based on the searched device and matching tag library; II. If there is only one device of the same device type, the host or cloud platform assigns the corresponding label and configuration information to the device according to the current solution; III. If there are two or more devices of the same device type, the cloud platform will transfer the operation rights to the operator and tag them for configuration; The tag library in step I is an explicit representation of the device to facilitate operators to identify the device.

[0039] S501: Feedback the verification result to the cloud platform; Specifically, when the verification results show abnormal information and abnormal cause analysis, the cloud platform will provide corresponding abnormal handling solutions. The abnormal solutions include replacing or repairing the host. The cloud platform summarizes the project implementation progress; based on the project acceptance and delivery, the equipment installation status is updated.

[0040] Optionally, the cloud platform displays the device installation progress through a designated APP; the device information and operating status in the room; the device firmware version can be upgraded and transmitted to the cloud platform through the APP, and the cloud platform performs remote OTA upgrades on the device.

[0041] Optionally, if the host is damaged and cannot automatically upload data, the staff will report the abnormality to the cloud platform. After replacing the new host, the solution created in step S101 will be transferred to the new host through the cloud platform, and the devices associated with the host will be replaced in batches through the matching search module set on the host, thereby reducing the burden on operators and avoiding repetitive operations.

[0042] The purpose of the above invention is to improve the efficiency of the entire configuration-free process and reduce the configuration time. The wireless network is automatically matched without the need for operators.

[0043] Although some specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of example, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above examples are for illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above embodiments may be modified without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
