[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of communication equipment, and in particular to a device management method, a base station and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the large-scale commercial launch of the fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5G), there are more and more cases of hardware equipment (boards and radio frequency equipment) in wireless base stations being stolen. Since there are no restrictions on the use of stolen hardware equipment, the stolen hardware equipment can be transferred to other operators' networks through illegal channels, causing huge losses to the stolen operators. At the same time, illegal hardware equipment also poses a hidden danger to network quality and network security.

[0003] Secondly, a specific sales agreement has been signed between operators and equipment manufacturers, and the hardware equipment purchased by operators is not allowed to be transferred to other operators. However, the current hardware equipment does not have specific protection measures, which makes it impossible to truly achieve this agreement restriction and cannot protect the rights and interests of equipment manufacturers.

[0004] Therefore, how to perform anti-theft management on hardware devices is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions 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.

[0024] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not necessarily include all the contents and operations / steps, nor must they be executed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps may also be decomposed, combined or partially merged, so the actual execution order may change according to actual conditions.

[0025] It should be understood that the terms used in the present specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. As used in the present specification, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms.

[0026] The embodiment of the present invention provides a device management method, a base station and a storage medium. The device management method can be applied to a base station, which can be a macro base station, a micro base station, a pico base station, a femto base station and other types of base stations. For example, the base station is a macro base station, the macro base station obtains anti-theft information in a hardware device, and determines the source information of the hardware device based on the anti-theft information and the verification information in the base station, the anti-theft information includes the operator identification supported by the hardware device; and determines the use status of the hardware device based on the source information of the hardware device.

[0027] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a flow chart of a device management method provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the device management method includes steps S101 to S102.

[0030] Step S101: Acquire anti-theft information in a hardware device, and determine source information of the hardware device based on the anti-theft information and verification information in a base station, wherein the anti-theft information includes an operator identifier of an operator supported by the hardware device.

[0031] The anti-theft information includes the operator identifier of the supported operator, which can be set according to actual conditions, and the embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit this. For example, the operator identifier can be a public land mobile network (PLMN). The verification information is the verification information in the configuration parameters of the operation of the base station, and the verification information includes the operator identifier of the supported operator.

[0032] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The flowchart of the anti-theft information generation provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes steps S201 to S203.

[0033] Step S201: upon receiving an anti-theft information generation instruction from the hardware device, determining whether there is an anti-theft information authorization file.

[0034] The anti-theft information generation instruction is used to instruct the base station to generate an instruction for the anti-theft information of the hardware device, and the anti-theft information generation instruction includes an operator identifier supported by the hardware device.

[0035] In one embodiment, an anti-theft information generation instruction of a hardware device is obtained, and it is determined whether there is an anti-theft information authorization file in the base station. By obtaining the anti-theft information generation instruction, the anti-theft information of the hardware device can be accurately generated.

[0036] It should be noted that the method for obtaining the anti-theft information generation instruction of the hardware device can be determined according to the actual situation, and the embodiment of the present invention does not make specific limitations on this. For example, the anti-theft information generation instruction sent by the terminal device used by the staff is received to obtain the anti-theft information generation instruction. The terminal device can be determined according to the actual situation, and the embodiment of the present invention does not make specific limitations on this. For example, the terminal device can be a mobile phone, computer and other devices; or, the anti-theft information generation instruction generated by the base station at regular intervals, wherein the time of the timing can be set according to the actual situation, and the embodiment of the present invention does not make specific limitations on this. For example, the time of the timing can be 0:00 every day.

[0037] Step S202: if there is an anti-theft information authorization file and the operator identifier in the anti-theft information generation instruction is the same as the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file, generate anti-theft information for the hardware device.

[0038] The anti-theft information authorization file includes an operator identifier, a hardware device transfer restriction mark information, and a hardware device transfer permission list. The operator identifier is the unique identifier of the operator, the hardware device transfer restriction mark information is used to indicate whether the hardware device can be transferred to a base station belonging to another operator, and the hardware device transfer permission list is a list of names of hardware devices that are allowed to be transferred in the base station.

[0039] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the anti-theft information authorization file may be an anti-theft license file 10, which includes an operator identifier 11, hardware device transfer restriction mark information 12 and a hardware device transfer allowed list 13. The operator identifier 11 may be the operator's PLMN.

[0040] In one embodiment, when it is determined that there is an anti-theft information authorization file in the base station, it is determined whether the operator identifier in the anti-theft information generation instruction is the same as the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file; when it is determined that the operator identifier in the anti-theft information generation instruction is the same as the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file, it is determined that the hardware device is a device of normal origin, and anti-theft information of the hardware device is generated, and the anti-theft information includes the operator identifier of the operator supported by the hardware device.

[0041] In one embodiment, when it is determined that there is an anti-theft information authorization file in the base station, it is determined whether there is anti-theft information in the hardware device. When there is anti-theft information in the hardware device, it is determined that the anti-theft information cannot be written into the hardware device, that is, the writing of the anti-theft information into the hardware device fails. When there is anti-theft information in the hardware device, it is prohibited to write the anti-theft information again, so as to prevent the hardware device from being stolen and used in base stations of other operators.

[0042] In one embodiment, when it is determined that there is an anti-theft information authorization file in the base station, it is determined whether the operator identifier in the anti-theft information generation instruction is the same as the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file; when it is determined that the operator identifier in the anti-theft information generation instruction is different from the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file, the hardware device is determined to be a device of abnormal source, and it is determined that the anti-theft information cannot be written into the hardware device, that is, the hardware device fails to write the anti-theft information. When it is determined that the operator identifier in the anti-theft information generation instruction is different from the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file, writing the anti-theft information is prohibited, which can prevent the hardware device from being stolen and used in other base stations, greatly improving the efficiency and reliability of hardware device management.

[0043] In one embodiment, when there is no anti-theft information authorization file, it is determined that the base station does not have the authority to generate anti-theft information, and it is determined that the generation of anti-theft information of the hardware device fails. When there is no anti-theft information authorization file at the base station, it is determined that the base station does not have the authority to generate anti-theft information of the hardware device, which effectively prevents the risk of the hardware device being stolen and used, and greatly improves the efficiency and reliability of hardware device management.

[0044] Step S203: sending the anti-theft information to the hardware device, so that the hardware device stores the anti-theft information in an anti-theft information storage module.

[0045] When anti-theft information is generated, the anti-theft information is sent to the hardware device, and after the hardware device receives the anti-theft information, the anti-theft information is stored in the anti-theft information storage module. By sending the anti-theft information to the hardware device and the hardware device storing the anti-theft information, the hardware device can be accurately managed to prevent the hardware device from being stolen, which greatly improves the efficiency and reliability of hardware device management.

[0046] In one embodiment, the manufacturer of the hardware device obtains the operator identification of the operator that the hardware device is licensed to use, generates anti-theft information of the hardware device according to the operator identification, and sends the anti-theft information to the hardware device so that the hardware device stores the anti-theft information in the anti-theft information storage module. In the process of manufacturing the hardware device, the anti-theft information is written into the hardware device, which greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of writing the anti-theft information of the hardware device, and greatly improves the efficiency and reliability of the anti-theft management of the hardware device.

[0047] It should be noted that, in the absence of an anti-theft information authorization file, it is determined that the anti-theft information generation of the hardware device has failed, and a first anti-theft information generation failure prompt message is generated, and the first anti-theft information generation failure prompt message is used to prompt the technician: the anti-theft information authorization file does not exist in the base station. In the presence of an anti-theft information authorization file, and the operator identifier in the anti-theft information generation instruction is different from the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file, it is determined that the anti-theft information generation of the hardware device has failed, and a second anti-theft information generation failure prompt message is generated, and the second anti-theft information generation failure prompt message is used to prompt the technician: the anti-theft information generation failed because the operator identifier in the anti-theft information generation instruction is different from the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file. In some embodiments, the first anti-theft information generation failure prompt message and the second anti-theft information generation failure prompt message can be the same, and are only used to prompt the technician that the anti-theft information generation failed.

[0048] For example, Figure 4As shown, when the base station 20 receives the anti-theft information generation instruction 30, it determines whether there is an anti-theft information authorization file in the anti-theft information authorization module 22. When there is an anti-theft information authorization file, the anti-theft information authorization module 22 sends the anti-theft information authorization file to the anti-theft information generation module 23; when there is no anti-theft information authorization file, it is determined that the anti-theft information generation of the hardware device has failed; the anti-theft information generation module 23 determines whether the operator identifier in the anti-theft information generation instruction is the same as the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file. When the operator identifier in the anti-theft information generation instruction is the same as the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file, it generates anti-theft information of the hardware device and sends the anti-theft information to the hardware device 21. The hardware device 21 stores the anti-theft information in the anti-theft information storage module 211; when the operator identifier in the anti-theft information generation instruction is different from the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file, it is determined that the anti-theft information generation of the hardware device has failed.

[0049] For example, Figure 5 As shown, S301 receives an anti-theft information generation instruction for a hardware device; S302 determines whether there is an anti-theft information authorization file; if there is an anti-theft information authorization file, S303 determines whether there is anti-theft information for the hardware device; if there is no anti-theft information authorization file, S306 the generation of anti-theft information for the hardware device fails; if there is no anti-theft information for the hardware device, S304 determines whether the operator identifier in the anti-theft information generation instruction is the same as the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file; if there is anti-theft information for the hardware device, S306 the generation of anti-theft information for the hardware device fails; if the operator identifier in the anti-theft information generation instruction is the same as the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file, S305 generates anti-theft information for the hardware device; if the operator identifier in the anti-theft information generation instruction is different from the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file, S306 the generation of anti-theft information for the hardware device fails.

[0050] In one embodiment, the operator identifier in the anti-theft information is compared with the operator identifier in the verification information; when the operator identifier in the anti-theft information is the same as the operator identifier in the verification information, the source information of the hardware device is determined to be a normal source; when the operator identifier in the anti-theft information is different from the operator identifier in the verification information, the source information of the hardware device is determined to be an abnormal source. By comparing the operator identifier in the anti-theft information with the operator identifier in the verification information, the source information of the hardware device can be accurately identified, which greatly improves the efficiency and reliability of the anti-theft management of the hardware device.

[0051] For example, when the PLMN of hardware device A is the same as the PLMN in the base station, the source information of hardware device A is determined to be a normal source. For another example, when the PLMN of hardware device B is different from the PLMN in the base station, the source information of hardware device B is determined to be an abnormal source.

[0052] Step S102: Determine the usage status of the hardware device based on the source information of the hardware device.

[0053] The usage status refers to whether the hardware device can be used normally, and the usage status includes a normal usage status or a prohibited usage status.

[0054] In one embodiment, when the source information of the hardware device is a normal source, the hardware device is determined to be in a normal use state; when the source information of the hardware device is an abnormal source, the hardware device is determined to be in a prohibited use state. According to the source information of the hardware device, the hardware device can be accurately controlled to enter different use states, which greatly improves the management efficiency and reliability of the hardware device.

[0055] In one embodiment, when it is determined that the hardware device is in a prohibited use state, a prohibited use alarm for the hardware device is generated and sent to the terminal device of the administrator so that the administrator is aware of the abnormality of the hardware device in a timely manner, greatly improving the management efficiency and reliability of the hardware device.

[0056] In one embodiment, when it is determined that the hardware device is in normal use, the hardware device is controlled to be powered on and run normally, which greatly improves the accuracy of the hardware device operation control and improves the safety of the hardware device.

[0057] For example, Figure 4 As shown, when the hardware device powers on to detect anti-theft information, the hardware device 21 sends the anti-theft information stored in the anti-theft information storage module 211 to the hardware device power-on detection anti-theft module 26, and the configuration data module 25 sends the verification information to the hardware device power-on detection anti-theft module 26. The hardware device power-on detection anti-theft module 26 compares the anti-theft information and the verification information. When the operator identifier in the anti-theft information and the operator identifier in the verification information are the same, it is determined that the power-on anti-theft detection of the hardware device has passed, and the hardware device can be used normally; when the operator identifier in the anti-theft information and the operator identifier in the verification information are different, it is determined that the power-on anti-theft detection of the hardware device has not passed, the hardware device is prohibited from being used, and an abnormal alarm for the hardware device is generated.

[0058] Exemplarily, in a scenario where an operator legally purchases a hardware device, the operator purchases the hardware device from the manufacturer of the hardware device. When the hardware device leaves the factory, the manufacturer has generated anti-theft information based on the operator's operator identification, and stores the anti-theft information in the hardware device, thereby determining that the hardware device can be used directly. When the hardware device leaves the factory, the anti-theft information is not stored in the hardware device. When the hardware device is installed in a base station, the base station generates anti-theft information based on the aforementioned anti-theft information generation embodiment, and stores the anti-theft information in the hardware device. When the hardware device is powered on, if the operator identification in the hardware device is the same as the operator identification of the verification information in the base station, then it is determined that the hardware device can be used normally. If the operator identification in the hardware device is different from the operator identification of the verification information in the base station, then it is determined that the hardware device is prohibited from use.

[0059] For example, in a scenario where an operator illegally purchases hardware equipment, the operator purchases the hardware equipment from an illegal channel, and the hardware equipment also stores anti-theft information of other operators. When the base station is powered on, the operator identifier in the hardware equipment is different from the operator identifier in the base station, and the hardware equipment is prohibited from use.

[0060] The device management method in the above embodiment obtains the anti-theft information in the hardware device, and determines the source information of the hardware device based on the anti-theft information and the verification information in the base station, wherein the anti-theft information includes the operator identification supported by the hardware device; and then determines the use status of the hardware device based on the source information of the hardware device. This solution can accurately determine the source of the hardware device, and only allow the hardware device to be used normally when the hardware device is from a normal source, and prohibit the hardware device from running when the hardware device is from an abnormal source, thereby greatly improving the efficiency and reliability of hardware device anti-theft management.

[0061] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 The flowchart of clearing anti-theft information provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes steps S401 to S404.

[0062] Step S401: upon receiving an anti-theft information clearing request from the hardware device, determining whether there is an anti-theft information authorization file.

[0063] When receiving a request to clear the anti-theft information of a hardware device, it is determined whether there is an anti-theft information authorization file. If there is no anti-theft information authorization file, it is determined that the base station does not have the authority to clear the anti-theft information, and it is determined that the anti-theft information clearing of the hardware device has failed. According to the anti-theft information authorization file, it can be accurately verified whether the base station has cleared the anti-theft information, effectively preventing the hardware device from being stolen, and greatly improving the security of the hardware device.

[0064] In one embodiment, after determining that there is an anti-theft information authorization file, determining that the base station has the authority to clear the anti-theft information, and determining whether the hardware device stores the anti-theft information, if the hardware device does not store the anti-theft information, the anti-theft information clearing of the hardware device fails. If the hardware device does not store the anti-theft information, there is no need to perform the anti-theft information clearing step, that is, the anti-theft information clearing of the hardware device fails.

[0065] Step S402: if there is an anti-theft information authorization file, compare the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file with the operator identifier in the anti-theft information of the hardware device.

[0066] Exemplarily, in the case where there is an anti-theft information authorization file, the PLMN in the anti-theft information authorization file is compared with the PLMN in the hardware device to accurately verify whether the base station has the authority to clear the anti-theft information in the hardware device, which greatly improves the security of the hardware device.

[0067] Step S403: When the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file is the same as the operator identifier in the anti-theft information of the hardware device, determine whether the hardware device is a restricted transfer device.

[0068] In one embodiment, when the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file is the same as the operator identifier in the anti-theft information of the hardware device, it is determined that the base station has the authority to clear the anti-theft information of the hardware device, and the hardware device is determined to be a restricted transfer device. Through the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file and the operator identifier in the anti-theft information of the hardware device, it is possible to accurately know whether the base station has the authority to clear the anti-theft information of the hardware device, which greatly improves the reliability of the anti-theft of the hardware device.

[0069] In one embodiment, when the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file is different from the operator identifier in the anti-theft information of the hardware device, it is determined that the base station does not have the authority to clear the anti-theft information of the hardware device, and it is determined that the anti-theft information clearing of the hardware device has failed, which greatly improves the reliability of the anti-theft of the hardware device.

[0070] In one embodiment, the method of determining whether the hardware device is a restricted transfer device may be: querying the anti-theft information authorization file, and determining that the hardware device is a restricted transfer device when the anti-theft information authorization file contains restricted transfer marking information; and determining that the hardware device is not a restricted transfer device when the anti-theft information authorization file does not contain restricted transfer marking information. By querying whether there is restricted transfer marking information in the anti-theft information authorization file, it is possible to accurately know whether the hardware device can be transferred, which greatly improves the reliability of hardware device anti-theft.

[0071] Step S404: When it is determined that the hardware device is not a restricted transfer device, an anti-theft information clearing instruction is sent to the hardware device, so that the hardware device clears the anti-theft information according to the anti-theft information clearing instruction.

[0072] In one embodiment, when it is determined that the hardware device is not a restricted transfer device, an anti-theft information clearing instruction is sent to the hardware device. The hardware device receives the anti-theft information clearing instruction and clears the anti-theft information according to the anti-theft information clearing instruction to complete the clearing of the anti-theft information, thereby greatly improving the reliability of the hardware device's anti-theft function.

[0073] In one embodiment, when it is determined that the hardware device is a restricted transfer device, a preset list of hardware devices that are allowed to transfer is queried; when the hardware device is in the preset list of hardware devices that are allowed to transfer, an anti-theft information clearing instruction is sent to the hardware device, so that the hardware device clears the anti-theft information according to the anti-theft information clearing instruction; when the hardware device is not in the preset list of hardware devices that are allowed to transfer, it is determined that the anti-theft information clearing of the hardware device has failed. The preset list of hardware devices that are allowed to transfer is a list of pre-set allowed hardware devices, and the preset list of hardware devices that are allowed to transfer can be set according to actual conditions. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit this. Through the preset list of hardware devices that are allowed to transfer, it is possible to accurately know whether the hardware device has been transferred, which greatly improves the reliability of hardware device anti-theft.

[0074] For example, Figure 4 As shown, when the base station 20 receives the anti-theft information clearing request 40, it determines whether there is an anti-theft information authorization file in the anti-theft information authorization module 22. When there is an anti-theft information authorization file, the anti-theft information authorization module 22 sends the anti-theft information authorization file to the anti-theft information clearing module 24; when there is no anti-theft information authorization file, it is determined that the anti-theft information generation of the hardware device has failed; the anti-theft information clearing module 24 compares the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file with the operator identifier in the anti-theft information of the hardware device, and when the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file is the same as the operator identifier in the anti-theft information of the hardware device, it is determined whether the hardware device is a restricted transfer device; when it is determined that the hardware device is not a restricted transfer device, an anti-theft information clearing instruction is sent to the hardware device 21; the hardware device 21 clears the anti-theft information in the anti-theft information storage module 211 according to the anti-theft information clearing instruction.

[0075] For example, Figure 7As shown, S501 receives an anti-theft information clearing request of a hardware device; S502 determines whether there is an anti-theft information authorization file; if the anti-theft information authorization file exists, S503 determines whether there is anti-theft information in the hardware device; if the anti-theft information authorization file does not exist, S508 the anti-theft information clearing of the hardware device fails; if the anti-theft information exists in the hardware device, S504 determines whether the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file is the same as the operator identifier in the anti-theft information of the hardware device; if the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file is the same as the operator identifier in the anti-theft information of the hardware device, In this case, S505 determines whether the hardware device is a restricted transfer device; in the case that the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file is different from the operator identifier in the anti-theft information of the hardware device, S508 the anti-theft information clearing of the hardware device fails; in the case that the hardware device is a restricted transfer device, S506 determines whether the hardware device is in the preset list of hardware devices allowed to be transferred; in the case that the hardware device is in the preset list of hardware devices allowed to be transferred, S507 the anti-theft information of the hardware device is cleared successfully; in the case that the hardware device is not in the preset list of hardware devices allowed to be transferred, S508 the anti-theft information clearing of the hardware device fails.

[0076] For example, in a scenario where operator A sells a hardware device to operator B through legal channels, operator A verifies the operator identifier in the anti-theft information authorization file in the base station. If the operator identifier is the same as the operator identifier in the hardware device, the anti-theft information in the hardware device is cleared, the hardware device is installed in the base station of operator B, and operator B writes operator B's anti-theft information into the hardware device.

[0077] For example, in a scenario where the hardware device is not allowed to be resold to other operators, the hardware device purchased by operator A from the manufacturer is not allowed to be resold. The anti-theft information authorization file in the base station of operator A contains marking information that restricts the transfer of the hardware device, and the hardware device does not exist in the preset list of allowed hardware device transfers, that is, the anti-theft information in the hardware device cannot be cleared, so that the hardware device cannot be powered on and used in base stations of other operators, thereby ensuring the reliability of hardware device management.

[0078] For example, in a scenario where the hardware device is not allowed to be resold to other operators, operator A purchases a hardware device from a manufacturer, and the hardware device is not allowed to be resold. The anti-theft information authorization file in the base station of operator A contains a mark information that restricts the transfer of the hardware device. Operator A negotiates with the manufacturer again to allow the sale of the hardware device.
