Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent control technology, and in particular to a control method and device for locking a device, and a computer device. Background Art

[0002] During the equipment application process, the manufacturer will provide the equipment to the customer for trial use. However, after providing the equipment to the customer for trial use, there may be cases where the customer still uses the equipment beyond the agreed period. In addition, there is also a situation where the customer pays in batches. For example, after the customer pays the down payment, the equipment is provided to the customer for trial use for a period of time, and the remaining balance is paid if the customer is satisfied. Similarly, during the process of the customer trying the equipment after paying the down payment, there may also be cases where the customer still uses the equipment beyond the agreed period.

[0003] In order to avoid the situation where the customer continues to try the device beyond the agreed period, the device will be locked when the actual duration of the customer's trial of the device reaches the agreed period. After the device is locked, the customer will no longer be able to use the device.

[0004] If the customer is satisfied with the device after the trial and wants to purchase it, or if the customer has not received any trial results and wants to try the device again, the device may be locked and can no longer be used. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a device locking control method, apparatus and computer equipment to solve the problem that after the device is in a locked state, when a customer is satisfied with the device and needs to purchase the device or needs to try the device again, he needs to continue using the device.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for controlling device locking, comprising the following steps: when the device enters a locked state, obtaining an actual activation code input; wherein the actual activation code is provided by a supplier of the device; obtaining a set of theoretical activation codes for the device; wherein the set of theoretical activation codes includes at least one theoretical activation code; determining whether there is a theoretical activation code identical to an actual activation code in the set of theoretical activation codes; and activating the device when there is a theoretical activation code identical to an actual activation code in the set of theoretical activation codes.

[0007] The present invention provides a method for controlling device locking. After the device enters a locked state, the device is activated by obtaining an input actual activation code and a theoretical activation code set. When a theoretical activation code identical to the actual activation code exists in the theoretical activation code set, the device is activated. Thus, after the device is in a locked state, when a customer is satisfied with the device and needs to purchase the device or needs to try the device again, after obtaining the actual activation code provided by the device supplier and inputting the actual activation code into the device, the device will determine whether it can be activated based on the comparison result between the actual activation code and the theoretical activation code set, thereby solving the problem that the customer needs to continue to use the device again after the device is in a locked state. In addition, the method for controlling device locking provided by the present invention does not rely on the network environment, has a low cost, does not require corresponding network environment configuration facilities, and does not cause the function to fail due to network reasons.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the control method for locking the device also includes the following steps: obtaining the effective time corresponding to the actual activation code; after activating the device, determining the reminder time based on the effective time; obtaining the actual time of the device from the activation moment to the current moment; determining whether the actual time reaches the reminder time; when the actual time reaches the reminder time, sending a prompt message that the device is about to be locked.

[0009] Therefore, after activating the device, by obtaining the validity period corresponding to the actual activation code and the actual duration of the device from the activation time to the current time, when the actual duration reaches the reminder duration, a reminder message is sent that the device is about to be locked. This can avoid damage to the customer caused by the locking of the device by sending a reminder message that the device is about to be locked in a scenario where the customer needs to try the device again.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, after sending a prompt message that the device is about to be locked, it also includes: continuing to obtain the actual duration of the device from the activation time to the current time, and determining whether the actual duration reaches the valid duration; when the actual duration reaches the valid duration, controlling the device to enter a locked state.

[0011] Therefore, after sending a prompt message that the device is about to be locked, the actual duration of the device from the activation time to the current time can be obtained. When the actual duration reaches the effective duration, the device is controlled to enter the locked state, so that the device can be locked again when the customer needs to try the device again.

[0012] In an optional implementation, before determining whether there is a theoretical activation code identical to the actual activation code in the theoretical activation code set, the step further includes: obtaining an activation code usage record, wherein the activation code usage record includes activation codes that have been used; determining whether the actual activation code is in the activation code usage record; and when the actual activation code is not in the activation code usage record, executing the step of determining whether there is a theoretical activation code identical to the actual activation code in the theoretical activation code set.

[0013] By setting the activation code usage record, it is determined whether the actual activation code is in the activation code usage record. If the actual activation code is not in the activation code usage record, it is determined whether there is a theoretical activation code that is the same as the actual activation code in the theoretical activation code set. This ensures that an actual activation code can be used only once, thereby protecting the rights and interests of equipment suppliers.

[0014] In an optional implementation, after determining whether there is a theoretical activation code that is identical to the actual activation code in the theoretical activation code set and before activating the device, the step further includes: obtaining an activation code usage record, wherein the activation code usage record includes activation codes that have been used; determining whether the actual activation code is in the activation code usage record; and when the actual activation code is not in the activation code usage record, executing the step of activating the device.

[0015] By setting the activation code usage record, it is determined whether the actual activation code is in the activation code usage record. If the actual activation code is not in the activation code usage record, it is determined whether there is a theoretical activation code that is the same as the actual activation code in the theoretical activation code set. This ensures that an actual activation code can be used only once, thereby protecting the rights and interests of equipment suppliers.

[0016] In an optional implementation, after activating the device, the method further includes: adding the actual activation code to the activation code usage record.

[0017] By adding the actual activation code to the activation code usage record after activating the device, the activation code usage record can be updated in real time.

[0018] In the second aspect, the present invention also provides a control device for locking a device, comprising a first acquisition module, a second acquisition module and a device activation module; the first acquisition module is used to obtain an actual activation code input after the device enters a locked state; the second acquisition module is used to obtain identification information of the device, and determine a theoretical activation code based on the identification information of the device; the device activation module is used to determine whether the actual activation code is the same as the theoretical activation code, and activate the device when the actual activation code is the same as the theoretical activation code.

[0019] In a third aspect, the present invention further provides a computer device, comprising a memory and a processor, the memory and the processor being communicatively connected to each other, the memory storing computer instructions, and the processor executing the device locking control method of the first aspect or any corresponding embodiment thereof by executing the computer instructions.

[0020] In a fourth aspect, the present invention further provides a device, comprising the computer device of the third aspect.

[0021] In a fifth aspect, the present invention further provides a computer-readable storage medium having computer instructions stored thereon, the computer instructions being used to enable a computer to execute the device locking control method of the first aspect or any corresponding embodiment thereof.

[0022] In a sixth aspect, the present invention further provides a computer program product, including computer instructions, which are used to enable a computer to execute the device locking control method of the above-mentioned first aspect or any corresponding embodiment thereof.

[0023] The device locking control method, apparatus and computer equipment provided by the embodiments of the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0024] (1) After the device enters the locked state, the input actual activation code and the theoretical activation code set are obtained, and when there is a theoretical activation code in the theoretical activation code set that is the same as the actual activation code, the device is activated. Therefore, after the device is in the locked state, when the customer is satisfied with the device and needs to purchase the device or needs to try the device again, after obtaining the actual activation code provided by the device supplier and inputting the actual activation code into the device, the device will determine whether it can be activated based on the comparison result between the actual activation code and the theoretical activation code set, thereby solving the problem that the customer needs to continue using the device again after the device is in the locked state. In addition, the device locking control method provided by the present invention does not rely on the network environment, has low cost, does not require corresponding network environment configuration facilities, and does not cause the function to fail due to network reasons;

[0025] (2) By obtaining the effective duration corresponding to the actual activation code and the actual duration of the device from the activation time to the current time, when the actual duration reaches the reminder duration, a reminder message is sent that the device is about to be locked. In this way, when the customer needs to try the device again, the reminder message that the device is about to be locked can be sent to avoid the harm caused to the customer by the device being locked;

[0026] (3) After sending a prompt message that the device is about to be locked, the actual time from the activation time to the current time of the device can be obtained. When the actual time reaches the effective time, the device can be controlled to enter the locked state, so that the device can be locked again when the customer needs to try the device again;

[0027] (4) By setting the activation code usage record, it is determined whether the actual activation code is in the activation code usage record. When the actual activation code is not in the activation code usage record, the device is activated again.

Furthermore, by adding the actual activation code to the activation code usage record after activating the device, the activation code usage record can be updated in real time.

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings 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 those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a control method for locking a device is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0038] In this embodiment, a method for controlling device locking is provided, which can be used for computer devices. Figure 1 is a flow chart of a device lock control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0039] Step S101: when the device enters the locked state, an actual activation code is inputted; wherein the actual activation code is provided by the supplier of the device.

[0040] In an optional implementation, the actual activation code is obtained by requesting the device supplier based on the device identification information. Specifically, after the device enters the locked state, when the customer is satisfied with the device and needs to purchase the device or needs to try the device again, the customer can request the activation code from the device supplier based on the device identification information. The activation code provided by the device supplier to the customer is the actual activation code. For example, the device identification information may be a device ID, and the device may be a robot.

[0041] That is to say, after the customer requests the actual activation code issued by the device supplier, the customer needs to enter the actual activation code into the device.

[0042] Step S102: Obtain a theoretical activation code set of the device; wherein the theoretical activation code set includes at least one theoretical activation code.

[0043] That is to say, the theoretical activation code in the theoretical activation code set may be one or more, and the theoretical activation code activation may be prefabricated in the device.

[0044] Step S103: Determine whether there is a theoretical activation code in the theoretical activation code set that is the same as the actual activation code.

[0045] Step S104: When there is a theoretical activation code in the theoretical activation code set that is identical to the actual activation code, the device is activated.

[0046] The device locking control method provided in this embodiment, after the device enters the locked state, by obtaining the input actual activation code and the theoretical activation code set, when there is a theoretical activation code in the theoretical activation code set that is the same as the actual activation code, the device is activated. Therefore, after the device is in the locked state, when the customer is satisfied with the device and needs to purchase the device or needs to try the device again, after obtaining the actual activation code provided by the device supplier and inputting the actual activation code into the device, the device will determine whether it can be activated based on the comparison result between the actual activation code and the theoretical activation code set, thereby solving the problem that the customer needs to continue to use the device again after the device is in the locked state. In addition, the device locking control method provided by the present invention does not rely on the network environment, has low cost, does not require corresponding network environment configuration facilities, and does not cause the function to fail due to network reasons.

[0047] In this embodiment, a method for controlling device locking is provided, which can be used for computer devices. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of another device lock control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0048] Step S201: When the device enters the locked state, the input actual activation code and the valid time corresponding to the actual activation code are obtained, wherein the actual activation code is provided by the supplier of the device.

[0049] Step S202: Obtain a theoretical activation code set of the device; wherein the theoretical activation code set includes at least one theoretical activation code.

[0050] Step S203: Determine whether there is a theoretical activation code identical to the actual activation code in the theoretical activation code set. If there is a theoretical activation code identical to the actual activation code in the theoretical activation code set, proceed to step S204; otherwise, do not respond to the actual activation code.

[0051] Step S204: Activate the device.

[0052] Step S205: Determine the reminder duration according to the effective duration.

[0053] Specifically, the reminder duration should be shorter than the effective duration.

[0054] Step S206: Obtain the actual duration from the activation time to the current time of the device.

[0055] Step S207: Determine whether the actual duration reaches the reminder duration; when the actual duration reaches the reminder duration, proceed to step S208; when the actual duration does not reach the reminder duration, return to step S206.

[0056] Step S208: Send a prompt message that the device is about to be locked.

[0057] Through the above steps S205 to S208, after activating the device, by obtaining the valid time corresponding to the actual activation code and the actual time of the device from the activation time to the current time, when the actual time reaches the reminder time, a reminder message that the device is about to be locked is issued. In this way, when the customer needs to try the device again, the damage caused to the customer by the locked device can be avoided by issuing a reminder message that the device is about to be locked.

[0058] Step S209: Continue to obtain the actual duration of the device from the activation time to the current time.

[0059] Step S210: Determine whether the actual duration reaches the effective duration; when the actual duration reaches the effective duration, go to step S211; otherwise, return to step S209.

[0060] Step S211: Control the device to enter a locked state.

[0061] Through the above steps S209 to S211, after sending a prompt message that the device is about to be locked, the actual duration of the device from the activation time to the current time is obtained. When the actual duration reaches the effective duration, the device is controlled to enter the locked state, so that the device can be locked again in the scenario where the customer needs to try the device again.

[0062] The device locking control method provided in this embodiment can not only solve the problem that the customer needs to continue to use the device again after the device is in the locked state, but also obtain the effective time corresponding to the actual activation code and the actual time of the device from the activation time to the current time when the customer is satisfied with the device and needs to purchase the device or needs to try the device again, after obtaining the actual activation code provided by the device supplier, the device will determine whether it can be activated according to the comparison result between the actual activation code and the theoretical activation code set after the actual activation code is input into the device, thereby solving the problem that the customer needs to continue to use the device again after the device is in the locked state; and by obtaining the effective time corresponding to the actual activation code and the actual time of the device from the activation time to the current time, when the actual time reaches the reminder time, a prompt message that the device is about to be locked is issued, so that in the scenario where the customer needs to try the device again, the prompt message that the device is about to be locked is issued to avoid the harm caused to the customer by the device locking; further, after issuing the prompt message that the device is about to be locked, by obtaining the actual time of the device from the activation time to the current time, when the actual time reaches the effective time, the device can be controlled to enter the locked state, so that in the scenario where the customer needs to try the device again, the device can be locked again.

[0063] In this embodiment, a method for controlling device locking is provided, which can be used for computer devices. Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of another device lock control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0064] Step S301: When the device enters the locked state, the input actual activation code and the valid time corresponding to the actual activation code are obtained, wherein the actual activation code is provided by the device supplier.

[0065] Step S302: Obtain a theoretical activation code set of the device; wherein the theoretical activation code set includes at least one theoretical activation code.

[0066] Step S303: Determine whether there is a theoretical activation code identical to the actual activation code in the theoretical activation code set. If there is a theoretical activation code identical to the actual activation code in the theoretical activation code set, proceed to step S304; otherwise, do not respond to the actual activation code.

[0067] Step S304: Acquire activation code usage records, wherein the activation code usage records include the activation codes that have been used.

[0068] Step S305: Determine whether the actual activation code is in the activation code usage record; when the actual activation code is not in the activation code usage record, proceed to step S306; otherwise, do not respond to the actual activation code.

[0069] It should be noted that the above-mentioned step S304 and step S305 can also be arranged before step S303, that is, before determining whether there is a theoretical activation code identical to the actual activation code in the theoretical activation code set, it also includes: obtaining an activation code usage record, wherein the activation code usage record includes activation codes that have been used; determining whether the actual activation code is in the activation code usage record; when the actual activation code is not in the activation code usage record, executing the step of determining whether there is a theoretical activation code identical to the actual activation code in the theoretical activation code set.

[0070] By setting the activation code usage record, it is determined whether the actual activation code is in the activation code usage record. If the actual activation code is not in the activation code usage record, it is determined whether there is a theoretical activation code that is the same as the actual activation code in the theoretical activation code set. This ensures that an actual activation code can be used only once, thereby protecting the rights and interests of equipment suppliers.

[0071] Step S306: Activate the device and add the actual activation code to the activation code usage record.

[0072] By adding the actual activation code to the activation code usage record after activating the device, the activation code usage record can be updated in real time.

[0073] Step S307: Determine the reminder duration according to the effective duration.

[0074] Step S308: Obtain the actual duration from the activation time to the current time of the device.

[0075] Step S309: Determine whether the actual duration reaches the reminder duration; when the actual duration reaches the reminder duration, proceed to step S310; when the actual duration does not reach the reminder duration, return to step S308.

[0076] Step S310: Send a prompt message that the device is about to be locked.

[0077] Step S311: Continue to obtain the actual duration of the device from the activation time to the current time.

[0078] Step S312: Determine whether the actual duration reaches the effective duration; when the actual duration reaches the effective duration, go to step S313; otherwise, return to step S311.

[0079] Step S313: Control the device to enter a locked state.

[0080] The device locking control method provided in the present embodiment can not only solve the problem that the customer needs to continue to use the device again after the device is in the locked state, when the customer is satisfied with the device and needs to purchase the device or needs to try the device again, after obtaining the actual activation code provided by the device supplier and inputting the actual activation code into the device, the device will determine whether it can be activated based on the comparison result between the actual activation code and the theoretical activation code set, thereby solving the problem that the customer needs to continue to use the device again after the device is in the locked state; and by setting the activation code usage record, it is determined whether the actual activation code is in the activation code usage record, and the device is activated when the actual activation code is not in the activation code usage record, which can ensure that an actual activation code can be used only once, thereby protecting the rights and interests of the device supplier; further, by adding the actual activation code to the activation code usage record after activating the device, the activation code usage record can be updated in real time.

[0081] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of button positions on the device lock interface according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in the device lock interface, add a lock setting button to the right of the additional information, click it to open the device lock interface. Figure 5 As shown, the device lock interface includes the device ID, validity period, and activation code dialog box. The device ID is set to ensure the consistency between the device and the computer device, that is, each device ID is unique, and each activation code can only be used on the corresponding device. The validity period dialog box can display the remaining days. The activation code dialog box can be used to enter the actual activation code provided by the device vendor.

[0082] Through the device locking control method provided in this embodiment, the device can achieve the following functions:

[0083] (1) Equipment suppliers can provide activation codes remotely, without the need to unlock the equipment on site. For example, when the equipment validity period reaches 0, the equipment will enter the stopped state. The equipment supplier only needs to provide the activation code remotely, and the customer can enter the activation code to continue normal operation.

[0084] (2) The lock period can be set unlimited times. The device lock in this implementation is implemented by using an activation code plus a validity period, that is, the device supplier can set the validity period when providing the activation code, thereby controlling the next device lock period.

[0085] (3) Seven days before the lockout period, the user will be reminded to contact the manufacturer in time to obtain the activation code. For example, a warning will be displayed on the teach pendant interface seven days before the lockout period to avoid losses caused by the lockout.

[0086] (4) When providing an activation code, you can set the number of days for the validity period.

[0087] (5) The activation code for each device is unique. The activation code algorithm is associated with the device ID of the device. Each device ID is unique. Each activation code can only be used on the corresponding device and can only be used once.

[0088] The device locking control method provided in this embodiment can achieve the following beneficial effects: 1. Protecting the interests of equipment suppliers to prevent customers from using trial equipment for a long time and locking the equipment when it expires; 2. It can be used as a method to collect the balance payment for the equipment. If the customer does not pay the balance payment in time, the equipment will stop running. After the balance payment is made and an activation code is provided, the equipment can continue to operate and produce.
