The words "first", "second", etc. do not limit the quantity and execution order, and the words "first", "second", etc. do not limit them to be different.

[0035] Display devices play a variety of roles in modern life. In commercial and public places, display devices can be used to display advertisements, promotional information and create atmosphere in a variety of scenarios such as building curtain walls, commercial centers, restaurants, hotel lobbies, etc.

[0036] Currently, the control effect of display devices can be improved and the application scenarios of display devices can be enriched by grouping display devices. However, in the related art, when grouping multiple display devices, manual operations are usually relied on, such as modifying and configuring the IP address and network parameters of each display device, and then manually selecting the group in a specific software interface. This results in a certain amount of manpower required when multiple display devices need to be linked for display, which affects the management efficiency of the display devices.

[0037] To solve the above problems, the present application proposes a display device management method, apparatus, server and system. The display device management method is applied to a server in a display device management system. The display device management system also includes multiple display devices connected to the server. The method includes: the server responds to a first grouping instruction and sends a device search instruction to multiple display devices. The device search instruction is used to instruct the display device to search for a connectable display device in a local area network and return connection information to the server. The connection information includes an identifier of the display device that is pinged with the display device.

The server can then determine the display devices that can be divided into the same device group in the current display device management system based on the connection information of the display device, so that the user can further manage the display devices in the same device group without the user having to manually modify the configuration of the IP address and network parameters of each display device, thereby improving the management efficiency of the display device.

[0039] Figure 1 A display device management system is shown. The display device management method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 The display device management system shown is used to automatically complete the grouping of display devices and improve the management efficiency of display devices. Figure 1 As shown, the display device management system 10 includes a server 11 and a plurality of display devices 12 .

[0040] Among them, the server 11 is connected to multiple display devices 12 respectively. The multiple display devices 12 can be display devices of the same specifications or display devices of different specifications, such as plasma displays, liquid crystal displays, organic light-emitting semiconductor displays, laser displays, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0041] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a display device management method according to some exemplary embodiments. In some embodiments, the display device management method can be applied to Figure 1 The display device management system 10 shown includes a server 11 and a plurality of display devices 12 .

[0042] S201. The server 11 may be configured to send a device search instruction to a display device in response to a first grouping instruction.

[0043] Among them, the first grouping instruction can be generated by the user on the server, or sent by the user to the server through other electronic devices, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0044] S202: The sixth display device may be configured to broadcast device information to the seventh display device in response to a device search instruction.

[0045] The sixth display device may also be used as any one of the multiple display devices 12, the seventh display device is another display device among the multiple display devices 12 except the sixth display device, and the device information includes an IP address and a default gateway;

[0046] S203: The sixth display device may also be used to receive device information broadcasted by the seventh display device.

[0047] S204: The sixth display device may also be used to determine an eighth display device from the seventh display device.

[0048] The eighth display device is a display device that is pinged by the sixth display device;

[0049] S205: The sixth display device may also be used to send connection information to the server.

[0050] The connection information includes an identifier of the eighth display device;

[0051] Correspondingly, the server 11 may also be used to obtain connection information sent by each of the multiple display devices.

[0052] S206: The server 11 may also be configured to generate at least one device group according to the connection information of each display device.

[0053] It should be noted that the specific implementation method of the server 11 and the display device completing the display device grouping can refer to the subsequent records of the embodiments of the present application.

[0054] Figure 3 is a flow chart of a display device management method according to some exemplary embodiments. In some embodiments, the display device management method can be applied to Figure 1 The server 11 in the display device management system 10 is shown. In the following, the embodiment of the present application takes the display device management method applied to the server 11 as an example to illustrate the display device management method.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, the display device management method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the following S301-S303.

[0056] S301. In response to a first grouping instruction, the server sends a device search instruction to multiple display devices.

[0057] As a possible implementation manner, in response to the first grouping instruction generated by the user operation, the server generates a device search instruction for instructing the display device to search for a connectable display device in the local area network, and sends the instruction to multiple display devices respectively.

[0058] Correspondingly, the display device receives the device search instruction sent by the server, searches for a connectable display device in the local area network, and further returns connection information including the identifier of the display device that is pinged with the display device to the server.

[0059] It should be noted that how the display device specifically searches for a connectable display device can be referred to the subsequent records of the embodiments of the present application.

[0060] In some embodiments, the above Figure 1 The display device management system 10 shown also includes a cloud management system, which is connected to the server 11 for interacting with users.

[0061] Exemplarily, the user can operate in the cloud management system, and the cloud management system generates corresponding instructions according to the user's operation and sends them to the server 11. For example, if the user performs an operation corresponding to the first grouping instruction through the cloud management system, the cloud management system generates and sends the first grouping instruction to the server in response to the user's operation.

[0062] S302: The server obtains connection information sent by each of the multiple display devices.

[0063] As a possible implementation manner, the server receives the connection information sent by each display device, and obtains the identifier of the display device that each display device can ping from the connection information, for further generating a device group.

[0064] Among them, the connection information sent by the display device also includes the device name and serial number of the display device. The identifier of the display device can be the device name, serial number or a combination of the two of the display device, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0065] S303: The server generates at least one device group according to the connection information of each display device.

[0066] As a possible implementation manner, the server determines the display device included in the connection information of the first display device as the second display device, and further determines that the first display device and the second display device are in the same device group.

[0067] The first display device is any one of the multiple display devices.

[0068] Exemplarily, if the multiple display devices included in the display device management system are display devices AE, respectively, the connection information of each display device is shown in Table 1 below. Then, when the first display device is display device A, the server determines that display device A, display device B, and display device E are the same device group; when the first display device is display device B, the server determines that display device A, display device B, and display device E are the same device group; when the first display device is display device C, the server determines that display device C and display device D are the same device group; when the first display device is display device D, the server determines that display device A, display device B, and display device E are the same device group. In summary, the server determines that the multiple display devices include two device groups, wherein display device A, display device B, and display device E are one device group, and display device C and display device D are one device group.

[0071] In some embodiments, in order to ensure that multiple display devices have sufficient time to respond to device search instructions and search for connectable display devices in the local area network, the server generates at least one device group based on the connection information of each display device after a preset period of time after sending device search instructions to multiple display devices.

[0072] It should be noted that the preset duration can be set in advance on the server by the operation and maintenance personnel of the display device management system, such as 10 seconds, 20 seconds, etc. It can also be set according to the number of multiple display devices in the display device management system. For example, 2 seconds can be added for each display device. If the number of multiple display devices is 5, the preset duration is 10 seconds. The embodiment of the present application does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0073] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the accuracy of the connectable display device determined by the display device, the server determines whether the connection information of the second display device includes the first display device, and if the connection information of the second display device includes the first display device, determines that the first display device and the second display device are the same device group.

[0074] It can be understood that by determining the display devices included in the second display device, it is possible to avoid the situation where the first display device pings the second display device in one direction, and then determining the first display device and the second display device as the same device group, thereby ensuring that multiple display devices in the same device group can ping each other, and avoiding abnormalities in the subsequent control of the display device for display.

[0075] In some embodiments, the plurality of display devices included in the display device management system are further configured to send device information to the server after startup, where the device information includes an IP address and a default gateway.

[0076] In response to the second grouping instruction, the server generates at least one device group according to the device information of the plurality of display devices, wherein the IP addresses of the display devices included in the device group are in the same network segment and have the same default gateway.

[0077] Optionally, in response to the second grouping instruction, the server determines the IP address and default gateway of each display device from the device information of the multiple display devices, and counts multiple display devices with IP addresses in the same network segment and the same default gateway to determine them as the same device group.

[0078] Exemplarily, if the multiple display devices included in the display device management system are display devices HM, respectively, the device information of each display device is shown in Table 2 below. Then the server can determine through the device information of multiple display devices that the IP addresses of display devices H and display devices M are in the same network segment and have the same default gateway, the IP addresses of display devices I and display devices L are in the same network segment and have the same default gateway, and the IP addresses of display devices J and display devices K are in the same network segment and have the same default gateway. In summary, the server determines that the multiple display devices include three device groups, among which display devices H and display devices M are one device group, display devices I and display devices L are one device group, and display devices J and display devices K are one device group.

[0084] The third display device is any one of the multiple display devices, the fourth display device is another display device among the multiple display devices except the third display device, and the device information includes an IP address and a default gateway.

[0085] As a possible implementation manner, after receiving the device search instruction sent by the server, the third display device broadcasts the device information to the fourth display device, so that the fourth display device obtains the device information of the third display device.

[0086] S402: The third display device receives the device information broadcasted by the fourth display device, and determines the fifth display device from the fourth display devices.

[0087] The fifth display device is a display device that is pinged by the third display device.

[0088] As a possible implementation, after receiving device information broadcasted by a fourth display device, the third display device determines whether it can ping the IP address of the fourth display device. Further, if the IP address of the fourth display device can be pinged, the fourth display device is determined as the fifth display device.

[0089] S403: The third display device sends connection information to the server.

[0090] The connection information includes an identifier of the fifth display device, so that the server generates at least one device group according to the connection information.
