[0051] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0053] The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present application. The singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings.

[0054] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0055] To facilitate understanding, a specific application scenario is first exemplified below.

[0056] See also Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of an application scenario provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, in this application scenario, a server 101, a control device 102 and an image forming device 103 are shown. The server 101 is connected to the control device 102 and the image forming device 103 respectively through a wired or wireless communication network, and the control device 102 is connected to the image forming device 103 through a wired or wireless communication network to transmit information. In actual applications, the control device 102 and the image forming device 103 are usually close to each other. In order to facilitate the information transmission between the control device 102 and the image forming device 103, a short-range communication connection is generally adopted. Exemplarily, the communication network between the control device 102 and the image forming device 103 can be a wifi hotspot network, a wifi P2P network, a Bluetooth network, a zigbee network or a near field communication (NFC) network, etc.

[0057] in addition, Figure 1 The server 101, control device 102 and image forming device 103 shown in the figure are only exemplary descriptions and should not be used as a limitation on the scope of protection of this application. The server 101 may also be called the cloud; the control device 102 may be a tablet computer, a personal computer (PC), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart watch, a netbook, a wearable electronic device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, a vehicle-mounted device, a robot, smart glasses, etc. in addition to a mobile phone; the image forming device 103 includes but is not limited to a printer, a copier, a fax machine, a multi-function image making and copying device, an electrostatic printing device and any other similar device.

[0058] In actual application, the user can bind the control device and the image forming device through the cloud (server). One binding method in the related art is: the control device sends a binding request to the server, and the binding request includes the user account and the identity information of the target image forming device; the server determines whether the target image forming device is online; if the target image forming device is online, the user account and the target image forming device are bound, and if the target image forming device is not online, the user account and the target image forming device are refused to be bound. However, since the image forming device does not participate in the entire binding process in the above binding method, it is easy to cause an erroneous binding between the user account and the image forming device. Exemplarily, user A expects to bind image forming device a, but user A sends the identity information of image forming device b to the cloud (server) through the control device; if image forming device b is online, the cloud binds user A's control device to image forming device b, resulting in user A binding an image forming device that does not belong to him. From the perspective of image forming device b, image forming device b belongs to user B. Since user A binds image forming device b, user B's image forming device is bound by other users.

[0059] When a user account and an image forming device are incorrectly bound, there may be certain security risks. For example, when user A's image forming device is bound by another user, user A's image forming device may have security risks and problems such as image forming device data and user information leakage, image forming device being controlled, image forming device being infected with zombie Trojan virus, image forming device being used as a springboard to attack intranet hosts and other information infrastructure.

[0060] In view of the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a binding method for an image forming device, which enables the image forming device to actively participate in the binding process by relaying a token among a server, a control device, and an image forming device, thereby preventing the image forming device from being incorrectly bound and improving security. A detailed description is given below.

[0061] See also Figure 2 , is a flow chart of a method for binding an image forming device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to Figure 1 The application scenarios shown are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it mainly includes the following steps.

[0062] Step S201: the control device sends a binding request to the server, where the binding request includes the user account and the identity information of the target image forming apparatus.

[0063] In actual applications, users can download corresponding application software or visit corresponding web pages through control devices such as mobile phones, log in to the user account in the corresponding application software or the corresponding web page, and then trigger related operations in the corresponding application software or the corresponding web page, so that the control device sends a binding request to the server.

[0064] Specifically, the binding request includes the user account and the identity information of the target image forming device. The target image forming device is the image forming device that the user wishes to bind. The identity information of the image forming device is unique information of each image forming device, and the image forming device can be uniquely identified using the identity information. Exemplarily, the identity information of the image forming device can be a product serial number.

[0065] Step S202: the server generates a first token corresponding to the target image forming device according to the identity information of the target image forming device.

[0066] Specifically, after receiving the binding request sent by the control device, the server generates a token corresponding to the target image forming device according to the identity information of the target image forming device in the binding request. For easy distinction, the token generated by the server is called a "first token".

[0067] Step S203: The server sends a first token to the control device.

[0068] Specifically, after the server generates the first token, it can send the first token to the control device, so that the control device forwards the first token to the image forming apparatus in a subsequent step.

[0069] In a possible implementation, after receiving the first token sent by the server, the control device may display information corresponding to the first token in a corresponding application software or a corresponding web page so that the user can understand the progress of the image forming apparatus binding process.

[0070] Step S204: the control device sends a first token to the image forming apparatus.

[0071] Specifically, after receiving the first token sent by the server, the control device forwards the first token to the image forming apparatus. Usually, the image forming apparatus is the target image forming apparatus involved in step S201, that is, the image forming apparatus that the user wants to bind.

[0072] In practical applications, the image forming device is usually near the control device, and a short-distance communication connection is generally used to facilitate information transmission between the control device 102 and the image forming device 103. Exemplarily, the communication network between the control device 102 and the image forming device 103 can be a wifi hotspot network, a wifi P2P network, a Bluetooth network, a zigbee network, or a near field communication (NFC) network.

[0073] Step S205: The image forming apparatus sends a second token to the server.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, for the sake of distinction, the token sent by the image forming device to the server is referred to as the "second token". Specifically, after receiving the first token sent by the control device, the image forming device sends the second token to the server. It can be understood that if the image forming device is a legal device, the image forming device can obtain the first token sent by the control device, and the second token sent by the image forming device to the server is the first token; if the image forming device is an illegal device, the image forming device cannot obtain the first token sent by the control device, and the second token sent by the image forming device to the server is not the first token (for example, a forged token, etc.).

[0075] Step S206: The server determines whether the first token and the second token match. If the first token and the second token match, the user account and the target image forming device are bound; if the first token and the second token do not match, the user account and the target image forming device are refused to be bound.

[0076] Exemplarily, the first token generated by the server is the token corresponding to image forming device a, and the second token received by the server is also the token corresponding to image forming device a. In this case, the first token matches the second token, and image forming device a can be bound to the user account. In another case, the first token generated by the server is the token corresponding to image forming device a, and the second token received by the server is the token corresponding to image forming device b. In this case, the first token does not match the second token, and the binding of image forming device a to the user account is refused.

[0077] However, in the above example, if a malicious operator obtains the first token corresponding to the image forming device a of a normal user, the malicious operator only needs to send the first token to any image forming device c around him, and the image forming device c sends the first token to the server. After judgment, the server can obtain the result that the received second token matches the generated first token, and then the malicious operator can bind his user account to the image forming device a. Because the image forming device c does not carry the identity information of the image forming device c when sending the token to the server, the server cannot determine whether the received token is sent by the image forming device a. Therefore, it is easy to cause the situation of wrong binding, and then there are security risks and problems such as leakage of image forming device data and user information, image forming device being controlled, image forming device being infected with zombie Trojan virus, and image forming device being used as a springboard to attack intranet hosts and other information infrastructure.

[0078] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem of incorrect binding, the image forming device carries the identity information of the image forming device when sending the first token to the server. After receiving the second token, the server determines whether the first token, the second token, and the identity information carried by the second token match. If the three match, the user account and the target image forming device are bound; if the three do not match, the user account and the target image forming device are refused to be bound.

[0079] In one possible implementation, after receiving the second token, the server first determines whether the first token matches the second token. If the first token and the second token do not match, the user account and the target image forming device are refused to be bound; if the first token and the second token match, it is determined whether the identity information carried by the second token matches the identity information corresponding to the first token. If the identity information carried by the second token matches the identity information corresponding to the first token, the user account and the target image forming device are bound; if the identity information carried by the second token does not match the identity information corresponding to the first token, the user account and the target image forming device are refused to be bound.

[0080] In one possible implementation, after receiving the second token, the server first determines whether the identity information carried by the second token matches the identity information corresponding to the first token. If the identity information carried by the second token does not match the identity information corresponding to the first token, the user account and the target image forming device are refused to be bound; if the identity information carried by the second token matches the identity information corresponding to the first token, then it is determined whether the second token matches the first token. If the first token matches the second token, the user account and the target image forming device are bound; if the first token and the second token do not match, the user account and the target image forming device are refused to be bound.

[0081] Exemplarily, when user C sends the identity information of image forming device a to the server through the control device, the server generates a first token corresponding to image forming device a, and the server sends the first token to the control device of user C. User C sends the first token to image forming device c through the control device. Image forming device c sends the first token to the server, and the first token carries the identity information of image forming device c. Because the second token received by the server matches the first token, but the identity information carried by the second token does not match the identity information corresponding to the first token, the server refuses to bind user C's account and image forming device a, thereby ensuring the security of image forming device a.

[0082] In a possible implementation, the first token generated by the server is time-limited. If the server does not receive the first token within a limited time, the correspondence between the first token and the identity information of the image forming device is cancelled. In actual applications, the image forming device is usually near the control device, so the time required for the two to complete the binding process is short. However, it usually takes a long time for a malicious operator to bind the image forming device of a normal user. The timeliness of the token can prevent the malicious operator from having enough time to complete the binding process, thereby avoiding the image forming device from being incorrectly bound and improving security.

[0083] For example, if the validity period of the first token generated by the server is 5 minutes, and the server receives the second token sent by the image forming device in the sixth minute, the binding fails because the server does not have the first token corresponding to the second token.

[0084] See also Figure 3 , is a flow chart of another method for binding an image forming device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, this method Figure 2 The embodiment shown also includes the following steps.

[0085] Step S301: the image forming apparatus sends confirmation information to the server in response to a confirmation operation triggered by the user.

[0086] Specifically, after the image forming apparatus receives the first token sent by the control device, the first token is displayed in the visible window of the image forming apparatus, and the user determines whether the first token displayed by the image forming apparatus matches the first token sent by the control device. If the first token displayed by the image forming apparatus matches the first token sent by the control device, the user can trigger an allow operation, and the image forming apparatus sends a confirmation message to the server in response to the allow operation triggered by the user; if the first token displayed by the image forming apparatus does not match the first token sent by the control device, the user can trigger a reject operation, and the image forming apparatus responds to the reject operation triggered by the user without sending a confirmation message to the server, and the binding of the image forming apparatus and the user account fails.

[0087] It can be understood that by adding the user's confirmation operation, when a malicious operator sends a token to a normal user's image forming device, the normal user can directly choose to refuse binding, thereby preventing the malicious operator from binding the normal user's image forming device. When the user chooses to refuse binding, the image forming device no longer needs to send confirmation information and the second token to the server, thereby saving program flow and improving work efficiency.

[0088] Exemplarily, when user C sends the identity information of image forming device a to the server through a control device, the server generates a first token corresponding to image forming device a, and the server sends the first token to the control device of user C. User C sends the first token to image forming device a through the control device. Image forming device a belongs to user A. After image forming device a receives the first token, user A can choose to refuse binding, thereby avoiding image forming device a from being incorrectly bound and ensuring the security of image forming device a.

[0089] It should be pointed out that in Figure 3 In the binding method shown, step S205 may be executed first, and then step S301 may be executed. The embodiment of the present application does not impose any specific limitation on this. In actual operation, the steps may be executed separately or simultaneously as needed.

[0090] Specifically, after the image forming apparatus receives the first token sent by the control device, the image forming apparatus sends a second token to the server. If the second token received by the server does not match the first token, the image forming apparatus does not need to display the first token, and the binding of the image forming apparatus to the user account fails. If the second token received by the server matches the first token, the first token is displayed in the visible window of the image forming apparatus, and the user determines whether the first token displayed by the image forming apparatus matches the first token sent by the control device. If the first token displayed by the image forming apparatus matches the first token sent by the control device, the user can trigger an allow operation, and the image forming apparatus is successfully bound to the user account. If the first token displayed by the image forming apparatus does not match the first token sent by the control device, the user can trigger a reject operation, and the binding of the image forming apparatus to the user account fails.
