[0022] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the scheme of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0023] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a configuration method for a smart home device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure can be executed by a configuration device for a smart home device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware and can be integrated on any electronic device with computing capabilities.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the configuration method of the smart home device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may include:

[0026] Step 101: Obtain configuration data from a server, and encapsulate the configuration data to generate an eSIM configuration file for each smart home device.

[0027] The method of the disclosed embodiment is applied to a control device, wherein the control device may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer. Configuration software is provided in the control device. The configuration software may be implemented based on LPA software, upgraded on the basis of LPA to support loading of eSIM configuration files from local wireless transparent transmission to remote devices, or may be a separately developed software module.

[0028] In this embodiment, the control device communicates with the eSIM server through the configuration software, obtains and processes the configuration data (eSIM profile) provided by the server, and then the configuration software encapsulates the configuration data to generate an eSIM configuration file for each smart home device, and sends the eSIM configuration file to the smart home device.

[0029] Optionally, the configuration software encapsulates the configuration data obtained from the server into an Application Protocol Data Unit (APDU) instruction. The configuration software uses an encrypted transmission protocol and wirelessly transmits the data to the smart home device to ensure the security of the eSIM configuration file during transmission.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the control device is provided with an NFC / Bluetooth module, configuration software and an eSIM chip. The control device obtains configuration data from the server through the configuration software and decrypts and assembles the configuration data to generate an eSIM configuration file adapted to each smart home device, and then sends the corresponding eSIM configuration file to the smart home device through the NFC / Bluetooth module.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the control device performs authentication with the server through the configuration software. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the configuration data is obtained from the server, including: the control device establishes a connection with the server and obtains the first authentication information of the server, sends its own second authentication information and multiple candidate encryption methods to the server, the server is used to determine the target encryption method from the multiple candidate encryption methods, and uses the second authentication information to encrypt the target encryption method to obtain the first encryption information; the control device obtains the first encryption information and decrypts it to obtain the target encryption method, encrypts the session key according to the target encryption method and the first authentication information to obtain the second encryption information, and sends the second encryption information to the server, the server is used to decrypt the second encryption information to obtain the session key, and encrypts the configuration data based on the session key and transmits it to the control device, and then, the control device decrypts the received data through the session key to obtain the configuration data, thereby improving data security.

[0032] Step 102: Send the eSIM configuration file to the smart home device via wireless transparent transmission.

[0033] In this embodiment, the control device includes a first communication module, the smart home device includes a second communication module, and the control device sends the eSIM configuration file to the second communication module in a wireless communication manner through the first communication module.

[0034] Among them, wireless communication methods include NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth and UWB (Ultra Wide Band Communication) or other short-range communication technologies.

[0035] The smart home device is used to decode the eSIM configuration file and load the decoded data into the eSIM chip in the smart home device. Figure 2 As shown, the smart home device is provided with an NFC / Bluetooth module, configuration software and an eSIM chip. After receiving the eSIM configuration file through the NFC / Bluetooth module, the configuration software decodes the eSIM configuration file and loads the decoded data to the eSIM chip in the smart home device to complete the configuration and network access of the eSIM.

[0036] Step 103, in response to the smart home device loading the decoded data into the eSIM chip, an eSIM management command is generated and the network control of the smart home device is performed through the eSIM management command.

[0037] In this embodiment, after the smart home device loads the decoded data into the eSIM chip, it returns a loading completion notification to the control device. In response to receiving the loading completion notification returned by the smart home device, the control device determines that the smart home device loads the decoded data into the eSIM chip, generates an eSIM management command and sends the eSIM management command to the smart home device, so as to perform network control of the smart home device through the eSIM management command.

[0038] Optionally, the configuration software encapsulates the eSIM management command as an APDU instruction.

[0039] As an example, the server is an eSIM server, which may be an SM-DP+ (Subscription Manager Data Preparation Plus) server, which is used to securely send configuration data to the control device and authenticate with the control device. The control device is, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc. The control device is provided with Bluetooth / NFC and configuration software, which is used to receive the configuration data ciphertext sent by the server and decode it, and encapsulate the configuration data or eSIM management command into APDU for transmission to the smart home device. The smart home device is provided with Bluetooth / NFC, configuration software and eSIM, which are used to receive configuration data or eSIM management commands, parse and execute corresponding operations, and realize the download of the first profile and subsequent network management.

[0040] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the control device obtains configuration data from the server, and encapsulates the configuration data to generate an eSIM configuration file for each smart home device, and then sends the eSIM configuration file to the smart home device through wireless transparent transmission. The smart home device is used to decode the eSIM configuration file and load the decoded data into the eSIM chip in the smart home device. The control device loads the decoded data into the eSIM chip in response to the smart home device, generates an eSIM management command, and performs network control on the smart home device through the eSIM management command. Thus, the loading process of the eSIM configuration file is simplified, and there is no need to configure the eSIM for each smart home device one by one through local networking. A more efficient and convenient eSIM management method for smart home devices is provided to simplify the loading process of the configuration file and improve the user experience. The solution is applicable to a variety of smart home devices, including but not limited to smart speakers, smart TVs, smart door locks, etc., and the operator configuration file can be quickly loaded and managed by wireless transparent transmission with smart home devices through mobile phones, tablets, etc.

[0041] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an activation process provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0042] In this embodiment, an eSIM management command is generated and network control of a smart home device is performed through the eSIM management command, including: a control device generates an activation command, and sends the activation command to the smart home device through wireless transparent transmission, and the smart home device is used to execute the activation command to implement eSIM configuration and networking of the smart home device.

[0043] Optionally, after executing the activation command, the smart home device returns an activation completion notification to the control device. In response to receiving the activation completion notification returned by the smart home device, the control device determines that the smart home device completes the eSIM configuration.

[0044] The control device side displays the eSIM status of each smart home device. When the control device receives a loading completion notification returned by the smart home device, the eSIM status of the smart home device is updated to the installed status; when the control device receives an activation completion notification returned by the smart home device, the eSIM status of the smart home device is updated to the activated status; when the control device receives a deactivation completion notification returned by the smart home device, the eSIM status of the smart home device is updated to the invalid status.

[0045] As an example, a user activates the configuration software on a control device such as a smartphone or tablet computer and connects to the Internet to apply for information from the eSIM server. After the eSIM server successfully authenticates the control device and verifies the legitimacy and integrity of the requested data, it encrypts the configuration data and sends it to the control device.

[0046] After the control device decrypts the configuration data sent by the eSIM server through the configuration software, it encapsulates the configuration data into APDU instructions and waits for NFC / Bluetooth to send. Then, the control device selects one of the multiple smart home devices and connects to it through Bluetooth / NFC or other methods.

[0047] The configuration software sends the assembled eSIM configuration file to the smart home device through wireless communication methods such as NFC / Bluetooth. After the receiving module of the smart home device receives the data, it decodes the eSIM configuration file through the configuration software, loads the decoded data into the eSIM chip, and generates a loading completion notification and returns it to the control device.

[0048] When a smart home device returns a notification of loading completion, the configuration software begins to control the network of the smart home device. Taking activation configuration as an example, the configuration software generates an activation command and wirelessly transmits the activation command to the smart home device. The smart home device receives and executes the activation command. After the activation configuration is successful, the smart home device can access the Internet through the 5G communication module and return the activation completion notification to the control device. Among them, the remote offline management of multiple eSIMs is realized through the configuration software, which can centrally display the status of each sub-device and enhance the convenience of operation.

[0049] Therefore, through wireless communication methods such as NFC / Bluetooth, the configuration software sends the assembled eSIM configuration file or eSIM management command to the smart home device. After the receiving module of the smart home device receives the data, it automatically completes the loading and activation of the eSIM, simplifying the user's operation steps. On the basis of ensuring the secure transmission of the configuration file, this implementation scheme can also optimize the transmission protocol as needed to adapt to different types of smart home devices.
