BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of the smart lock network configuration method for reconnecting to WIFI. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0011] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0012] The present invention provides a smart lock network configuration method that is convenient for reconnecting to WIFI: S1: The mobile terminal connects to WiFi, and the mobile APP obtains the WiFi verification information; S2: The mobile phone APP generates a QR code according to the verification information, and the smart door lock scans the QR code to connect to WIFI; the QR code also includes a request instruction; S3: The smart door lock initiates a matching request to the mobile phone APP according to the request instruction, the mobile phone terminal connects to the smart door lock by turning on Bluetooth, and the mobile phone APP obtains the mobile phone terminal ID and the smart door lock device code; S4: The mobile phone APP sets the mobile phone terminal as the first management identity of the smart door lock, and the mobile phone APP issues a public key to the mobile phone terminal and a private key to the smart door lock, so that the smart door lock and the mobile phone terminal can communicate over the Internet; S5: When the smart door lock is disconnected from the network, it searches for the original WIFI again. If the WIFI connection fails, it sends network requests intermittently. After the mobile phone terminal receives the network request, it displays it on the mobile phone APP to send WIFI information.

[0013] The first time you install a smart door lock, you need to configure the network and connect to WiFi for communication. For smart door locks without a display interface, the common method of configuring the network requires you to open the smart management system of the smart lock and start the networking state, then use a mobile terminal connected to WiFi to download the corresponding mobile APP, and open the QR code on the mobile APP, and display it to the scanning area of ​​the smart door lock, so that the smart door lock can obtain the WIFI password and search for the corresponding WiFi network.

[0014] However, most smart door locks are connected to the Internet only once. When the network environment changes, such as changing the password or changing the WiFi login, the WiFi will be disconnected, and consumers need to reconnect to the network. According to most consumers, the network configuration process is complicated and cumbersome. When they need to reconnect to the network, they often forget how to press the button to enter the network configuration state, forget how to operate the mobile phone APP, and then need to report to the customer service, which is time-consuming and laborious.

[0015] In this embodiment, while the smart door lock scans the QR code to obtain the WIFI password, the mobile terminal initiates Bluetooth matching to the smart door lock, establishes direct transmission between the two, and the mobile APP simultaneously obtains the identification codes of the mobile terminal and the smart door lock for marking the device identity, and records and binds the two in the background. After that, the mobile APP issues a public key to the mobile terminal, and sends a private key to the smart terminal via the mobile phone. The public key and private key can use a pre-set algorithm to encrypt and decrypt information. The algorithms of the public key and private key are corresponding, and are only used to decrypt the files encrypted by the other party to ensure the security and accuracy of information transmission.

[0016] After completing the above operations, the mobile terminal and the smart door lock disconnect Bluetooth, and the smart door lock is now connected to the WiFi network normally. In the future daily life, when the smart door lock disconnects the WIFI connection, it will automatically search for the original WIFI access. If the connection fails, it is determined that the network environment has changed and a network request is sent. Considering that the user's mobile terminal may not be near the smart door lock and it is easy to miss the received signal, the smart door lock is periodically sent to send a signal until the mobile terminal receives the signal and displays a prompt on the mobile phone APP. When the user operates on the mobile phone APP, the smart door lock is turned off to send signals. After the user opens the mobile phone APP, it shows that the smart door lock is disconnected from the network. The user only needs to connect the mobile terminal to the WIFI environment and click on the network confirmation. The public key encrypts the WIFI information and sends it to the smart door lock. After the smart door lock receives the public key confidential information, it uses the private key to solve the puzzle, or the WIFI name and password connected to the mobile terminal to quickly reconnect. This method is convenient and fast, and can promptly remind the user of the network status of the smart door lock, and there is no need for the user to repeatedly show the QR code network to the smart door lock, avoiding the user from forgetting the operation and being unable to connect the smart door lock to the network.

[0017] In one embodiment, the mobile phone terminal set as the first management identity connects to other terminals via Bluetooth, and sets the other terminals as shared management identities on the mobile phone APP, and the mobile phone APP issues public keys to the other terminals.

[0018] Considering that a household has multiple members, after one of the members successfully performs the network configuration and binding operations, the mobile terminal can be used as the main control machine to connect to and share permissions with other members' mobile phones, so that other members' mobile phones can also send WIFI information to the smart door lock for management after accepting the smart door lock's networking request.

[0019] In one embodiment, in step S3, the mobile phone APP sends a verification password to the smart door lock, and the smart door lock can normally transmit information with the mobile phone terminal after the verification is passed, so as to ensure that the mobile phone terminal with the mobile phone APP is connected to the smart door lock and operates the smart door lock, and avoid the external mobile phone from mistakenly connecting to the smart door lock.

[0020] In one embodiment, in step S3, the mobile phone APP verifies whether the mobile phone terminal and the smart door lock are connected to the same WIFI, and if not, displays a reminder to prevent the smart door lock from incorrectly accessing the network.

[0021] In one embodiment, in step S5, the smart door lock sends multiple network requests every day, each time for half an hour. To prevent the smart door lock from consuming power too quickly, it sends signals at specific time periods every day, such as lunch and dinner time, and sends signals for half an hour each time. If there is no response, it is judged that no one is at home, and waits for the next transmission until the network is successfully reconnected.

[0022] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.
