Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of terminal communication equipment, and in particular to a method for opening a terminal module and a parameter filling adapter. Background Art

[0002] At present, the activation of terminal communication equipment includes two types of data activation: communication configuration and codec end module (hereinafter referred to as "end module") configuration. Among them, due to the low power consumption and small size of the end module and its only simple injection interface, it is necessary to (1) manually collect the information of the end module to be activated in advance; (2) bring a dedicated injection device to the server to export the parameter file of the corresponding end module; (3) bring the dedicated injection device to the communication equipment environment where the end module is located, and inject parameters into the end module offline by relying on the power supply and injection interface provided by the communication equipment environment; (4) obtain the end module parameter injection (success / failure) result.

[0003] The existing methods have problems. First, they need to manually collect the information of the terminal modules that need to be activated in advance. Second, they need to manually carry special filling equipment to move back and forth between the terminal communication equipment and the server, physically plug and unplug, and manually operate. This method involves too many manual operations, has high technical requirements for operators, is prone to errors, and is very time-consuming. Summary of the invention

[0011] As a preferred solution, after batch acquiring information of multiple end modules, the parameter filling adapter first packages the parameter file application request and then sends it to the server at one time.

[0012] As a preferred solution, after receiving the parameter file application request package, the server first unpacks the request package to obtain end module parameter requests of different systems, manufacturers, equipment, and numbers; then searches for all corresponding parameter files according to different parameter requests, and packages all the found parameter files at one time and sends them to the parameter filling adapter.

[0013] As a preferred solution, before the parameter filling adapter sends the corresponding matching parameter file to the end module, if the received parameter file is a packaged parameter file, it will first unpack it and then send the parameter files of different end modules to the corresponding slot end modules.

[0014] The second aspect of the present invention provides a parameter filling adapter for opening an end module, wherein the parameter filling adapter provides a plurality of slots for inserting the end module, and comprises:

[0015] The acquisition module is used to obtain the module information of the terminal to be activated;

[0020] As a preferred solution, when batch acquiring information of multiple end modules to be activated, the application module packages and sends parameter file application requests corresponding to different end modules at one time.

[0021] As a preferred solution, after receiving the parameter file application request package sent by the application module, the server first unpacks the request package to obtain end module parameter requests of different systems, manufacturers, equipment, and numbers, and then searches for all corresponding parameter files according to different parameter requests, and packages the found parameter files and sends them all at once.

[0022] As a preferred solution, after receiving the parameter file package, the claiming module first unpacks the package, and then sends the parameter files of different end modules to the corresponding slot end modules through the sending module.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are:

[0024] (1) The end modules are directly inserted into the slots of the parameter injection adapter in batches, and no longer rely on a corresponding number of terminal communication devices (power supply and injection interface).

[0025] (2) There is no need to manually collect the terminal module information that needs to be activated in advance. The parameter filling adapter automatically collects the terminal module information in batches;

[0033] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar modules or modules with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be construed as limitations on the present application. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present application include all changes, modifications and equivalents that fall within the spirit and connotation of the appended claims.

[0034] For the application scenario of terminal module activation of terminal communication equipment, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for terminal module activation, which is applied to a parameter injection adapter. The parameter injection adapter provides a slot for batch insertion of terminal modules. When the terminal module is to be activated, the terminal module can be inserted into the slot; at the same time, the parameter injection adapter can be connected to the server in a wireless or limited manner to complete the interaction, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the specific plan is as follows:

[0035] Step 1: Insert the end module to be activated into the slot of the parameter filling adapter;

[0036] Step 2: The parameter filling adapter automatically obtains the module information of the end to be activated.

[0037] Step 3: The parameter filling adapter applies to the server for the corresponding matching parameter file according to the information of the end module to be activated, and receives the end module parameter file issued by the server;

[0038] In this step, after the parameter filling adapter sends a parameter file application request, the server searches for the corresponding parameter file according to the request and sends the found parameter file to the parameter filling adapter.

[0039] Step 4: The parameter filling adapter sends the corresponding matching parameter file to the end module, receives and displays the activation result of the end module.

[0040] In this step, after the parameter filling adapter sends the parameter file to the end module, the end module is activated according to the parameter file and returns the activation result (success / failure) to the parameter filling adapter. The parameter filling adapter presents the activation result of the end module through the interface.

[0041] In the activation method proposed in this embodiment, batch activation of multiple end modules is supported. In one embodiment, the parameter filling adapter is provided with multiple slots to support batch insertion of multiple end modules. Specifically,

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 The parameter filling adapter batch obtains the information of multiple end modules to be activated. At this time, the parameter filling adapter packages and sends parameter file application requests to the server according to the information of different end modules.

[0043] After receiving the parameter file application request package, the server first unpacks the request package to obtain the end module parameter requests of different systems, manufacturers, equipment, and numbers; then it searches for all corresponding parameter files according to different parameter requests, and packages all the found parameter files at one time and sends them to the parameter filling adapter.

[0044] After receiving the parameter file package, the parameter filling adapter first unpacks it and then sends the parameter files of different end modules to the corresponding slot end modules.

[0045] This embodiment also proposes a parameter filling adapter for opening the end module, which provides multiple slots for the end module to be inserted. At the same time, the parameter filling adapter also includes a communication module (not shown in the figure), which can complete the connection and interaction with the server in a wireless or limited manner. Please refer to Figure 4 ,The parameter filling adapter also includes an acquisition module, a claim module, a sending module and a confirmation module.

[0046] Specifically, the acquisition module is used to obtain the information of the end module to be activated; the application module is used to apply for the parameter file from the server according to the information of the end module to be activated, and receive the parameter file sent by the server; the sending module is used to send the parameter file to the end module; the confirmation module is used to receive and display the end module activation result.

[0047] In this embodiment, the server includes a search module and a transceiver module, wherein the search module is used to search for the parameter file according to the application request, and the transceiver module is used to receive the application and send the parameter file to the parameter filling adapter.

[0048] In this embodiment, the end module includes a first response module, a receiving module and a second response module, wherein the first response module is used to respond to the request of the acquisition module of the parameter filling adapter and provide end module information; the receiving module is used to receive the parameter file sent by the sending module, and the end module executes the activation process according to the parameter file; the second response module is used to send the activation result to the confirmation module of the parameter filling adapter.

[0049] It should be noted that the parameter filling adapter proposed in this embodiment supports batch activation of multiple end modules. At this time, multiple end modules are batch inserted into the slots of the parameter filling adapter. The acquisition module batch acquires information of multiple end modules; the application module sends parameter file application requests corresponding to different end modules in one package.

[0050] After receiving the parameter file application request package sent by the application module, the server's search module first unpacks the request package to obtain the end module parameter requests of different systems, manufacturers, equipment, and numbers, and then searches for all corresponding parameter files based on different parameter requests. The sending module packages and sends the found parameter files at one time.

[0051] After receiving the parameter file package, the claim module first unpacks it, and then sends the parameter files of different end modules to the corresponding slot end modules through the sending module.

[0052] The solution proposed by the present invention has the following advantages:

[0053] (1) The end modules are directly inserted into the slots of the parameter injection adapter in batches, and no longer rely on a corresponding number of terminal communication devices (power supply and injection interface).

[0054] (2) There is no need to manually collect the terminal module information that needs to be activated in advance. The parameter filling adapter automatically collects the terminal module information in batches;

[0055] (3) No need for manual movement, physical plugging and unplugging, or manual operation. The parameter filling adapter automatically completes parameter application and batch distribution from the server, shortening the time required to activate the end module.

[0056] (4) The parameter filling adapter collects the activation results of terminal modules in batches and presents them to the user in a unified manner.

[0057] In order to more clearly illustrate the method for opening an end module and the parameter filling adapter proposed in the present invention, detailed descriptions are given below from the content level, communication level and physical level respectively.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 5 ,From the content level, the end module provides its own information, as shown in Table 1 is an example of the ,information of an end module.

[0059] Table 1 Information of a certain end module

[0060]

[0061] After multiple end modules are inserted into the parameter filling adapter through the slots, the parameter filling adapter merges the information of the multiple end modules. Table 2 is an example of the total application information after the parameter filling adapter merges.

[0062] Table 2 Total application information after the merger of "Parameter Injection Adapter"

[0063]

[0064]

[0065] In the server, according to the combined total information provided by the parameter filling adapter, the response parameter file is found and combined to form a total parameter file. Table 3 shows an example of a total parameter file.

[0066] Table 3. General parameter files

[0067]

[0068]

[0069] After receiving the total parameter file, the parameter filling adapter cannot send it directly to the end module, but needs to split it and then send the parameters obtained after the split to the end module accordingly. Table 4 shows an example of the parameters of an end module.

[0070] Table 4 Parameters of a certain end module

[0071]

[0072]

[0073] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 From the communication level, the communication message between the parameter annotation adapter and the end module includes a communication information header, a bearer content, and a check part, wherein the content of the communication information header is shown in Table 5.

[0074] Table 5 Communication information header format for each slot

[0075]

[0076] It should be noted that during the communication between the two parties, the content carried in the message may include terminal module information, parameter files, activation results, etc.

[0077] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 ,From a physical level, the server part only performs parsing and searching functions ,according to the request information provided by the parameter ,annotation adapter, and then finds the required parameter file from the ,database.

[0078] In the parameter filling adapter, the server-facing side passes through a switch or hub and then a merging / splitting unit to merge multiple end module information and send it to the server, or split the total parameter file sent by the server into parameters corresponding to each end module.

[0079] The side facing the end module interacts with the end module through multiple slot units. Taking a slot unit as an example, each slot unit includes a slot cache unit and multiple interface modules. Each interface module is connected to the slot cache unit through an inter-chip bus; wherein each interface module provides two slots for inserting the end module, and the slot cache unit is used to cache the end module information received by all interface modules in the slot unit.

[0080] In one embodiment, each slot is equipped with a primary interface and a backup interface. In one embodiment, the slot cache unit hardware can be implemented using a processor, a multi-port RAM, etc. In one embodiment, the interface module hardware can be implemented using a processor, a programmable logic device, or a hub, etc.
