Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to intelligent customer control, and more specifically, to a device pre-configuration solution. Background Art
[0002] With the development of society, the hotel industry is thriving, and the field of intelligent guest control related to the hotel industry has also developed and progressed. Hotel intelligent guest control is mainly used for intelligent services in guest rooms. It controls various equipment in guest rooms through smart devices and sensors, such as light holes, temperature control, air conditioning, curtains, TVs, speakers, etc., to provide intelligent management of hotel rooms for hotels.
[0003] When configuring the hotel's equipment, it was found that the configuration efficiency was low due to the production link. In order to save costs and time, mainstream equipment manufacturers currently use unified molds for production. The actual panels and lettering panels are produced independently and assembled, packaged and delivered to the project site. The platform cannot distinguish their specific roles in the actual project. For example, the switch panels used as balcony lights, corridor lights, and cloakroom lights. Although the platform records the information of the three distinguishable panels, it cannot distinguish their specific usage scope, resulting in some devices of the same device type but playing completely different roles.
[0004] The inventor believes that the traditional interaction between the device side and the platform side is that the control platform directly processes the reported device data. The device data is reported to the control platform via the communication protocol, and the platform processes the data. This method has the following problems: the installation and configuration of a large number of devices is extremely time-consuming, the production chain causes multiple control platforms of the same type to be unable to accurately identify, and reconfiguration is required after replacing the device. The platform cannot accurately control the targeted switch panel, and when the device is damaged or expires, when the device needs to be replaced, when the new device is docked with the platform, the docking efficiency is slow. Summary of the invention
[0005] One purpose of the present invention is to achieve pre-configuration of physical equipment on the project site and rapid replacement of damaged equipment, thereby shortening the entire installation and configuration cycle and reducing economic costs.
[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a device pre-configuration solution is provided, S101, establishing a platform end; S201, create a plan; S301, establishing a virtual mapping layer; S302, scanning the device and uploading information; S303, the virtual mapping layer is connected to the platform end; S401, perform data configuration on the platform side.
[0007] Through this program,.
[0008] Optionally, in step S201, a plan is created according to a specified plan or project, and a plan or project is established with the help of a platform end; The scheme includes prefabricated rooms and virtual appliances; Prefabricated rooms include room numbers and scenes; The room number is the room number of the hotel in the specified plan or project. At the same time, the room number is matched with the room type of the hotel in the specified plan or project. Different room types determine the number and layout settings of virtual appliances that can be accommodated in the room.
[0009] Optionally, in step S101, the platform end is often divided into a PC end and an APP port, which can manage and control each process to facilitate real-time viewing and operation by staff.
[0010] Optionally, when the device end is uploaded to the virtual mapping layer, if there is only one device end of the same device type in the same scenario, the virtual device and the device end are mapped according to the same device type through methods including but not limited to Type_Id.
[0011] Optionally, in S302, the information of the device side is uploaded to the virtual mapping layer. To make the label definition standardized, the mapping label has the following definition: the generated mapping label format: {"deviceMac":"","gatewayMac":"","roomId":"","hotelId":"","label":""}; Note: The label format is the Jason format transmitted by the platform, where: deviceMac: the unique identification code of the device; gatewayMac: the host identification code; roomId: the room ID where the device is located, encrypted with md5; hotelId: the hotel ID where the room is located, encrypted with md5; label: device label information;}.
[0012] Through this solution, operators only need to select tags related to the purpose of the device in the tag library to bind the above information and display it in the room dimension on the platform. The tag library is generated after the platform big data analysis, and contains mapping tags of the device type and device purpose of each device. If the required tag does not belong to the tag library, you can customize the tag and submit it to the authorized personnel for review, and enter the tag review process.
[0013] One technical effect of the present invention is that the platform end is a processing center for receiving and processing data, and is the control core of the entire process. It is used to coordinate the overall process and detailed operations, and often the designation of the plan and the specific detailed inspection are also carried out through the platform end. The information of the device end is uploaded to the virtual mapping layer. A QR code containing information can be set on the device end. The device end information is uploaded by scanning the QR code. The information that needs to be uploaded by the device end includes the MAC address of the host. By scanning the device code or uploading the corresponding information, the MAC address is registered to the platform end, and the information uploaded by the device end is uploaded to the virtual mapping layer and displayed in the virtual mapping layer. The platform will place the device in the virtual mapping layer in the solution, and the corresponding scene will be established on the platform. It will be associated with the virtual mapping layer. If the device is exposed to multiple scenes, the identification tag of the virtual device will be added to each scene, and the device performance status will be changed according to the scene. If there are multiple device ends of the same device type under the same scene solution, the platform will transfer the authority to the on-site configuration personnel, and associate the virtual device with the device end according to the mapping tag according to the actual situation; the operator only needs to select the tag related to the purpose of the device in the tag library to bind the above information, and display it in the platform in the room dimension. The tag library is generated after the platform big data analysis, and contains the mapping tags of the device type and device purpose of each device. If the required tag does not belong to the tag library, you can customize the tag and submit it to the authorized personnel for review to enter the tag review process.
