Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of Internet of Things and industrial gateways, and in particular to a multi-standard communication design method for integrating a gateway star flash module. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the Internet of Things, different communication protocols have emerged one after another, but their compatibility is poor, that is, different communication protocols require different hardware support. Bluetooth is generally used for short-distance communication, data transmission or control of wearable devices. Wifi is generally used for regional communication or to provide network capabilities to other devices. SLE is a new communication protocol that is compatible with the advantages of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and has broad prospects for use. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a multi-standard communication design method for integrating the gateway star flash module. A single module integrating three standards of wifi, bluetooth and SLE only needs software-level design, and one hardware module can be used to realize the application and switching of three communication standards. This greatly reduces the cost and ensures the compatibility of multiple communication standards.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is:

[0005] A multi-standard communication design method for a fusion gateway star flash module, based on the star flash module, uses wifi, bluetooth, and SLE star flash communication methods in a fusion gateway; it is equipped with a gateway management interface and uses different communication methods through operation switching.

[0006] Furthermore,

[0007] Wi-Fi supports AP and STA modes; Bluetooth mode supports networking and communication with other Bluetooth devices; SLE mode supports networking and communication with other SLE modules.

[0008] Furthermore,

[0009] The Star Flash module achieves compatibility with three communication standards through software design.

[0010] Through the http interface, users can switch between different communication methods and configure the parameters and modes of different communication methods in the web management interface.

[0011] Using SQLite technology, data tables are maintained locally to store user configuration parameters for different communication formats.

[0012] Going further,

[0013] Compile the drivers corresponding to the three different standards of WiFi, Bluetooth, and SLE independently and store them in the gateway.

[0014] Going further,

[0015] The drivers corresponding to the three communication standards are compiled into three independent ones; the user side sends configuration information to the gateway by calling the interface of the gateway CPU. After receiving the information, the gateway loads the corresponding driver to drive the hardware in the Star Flash module to work and achieve communication method switching.

[0016] Going further,

[0017] The specific steps are as follows:

[0018] Step 1): Enable Wif through the web management interface;

[0019] Step 2): After the gateway receives the start command, it will load the WiFi driver of the Star Flash module;

[0020] Step 3): Select AP or STA mode on the network management page;

[0021] Step 4): After the gateway receives the mode information, the wifi driver loads the corresponding functional module.

[0022] Bluetooth is generally used for short-distance communication, data transmission or control of wearable devices. Wifi is generally used for regional communication or to provide network capabilities to other devices. SLE is a new communication protocol that combines the advantages of Wifi and Bluetooth, and has broad application prospects.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are specifically as follows:

[0024] a) The present invention uses only one hardware module to support three communication systems, and has strong compatibility

[0025] b) The present invention utilizes an independent drive design, which greatly improves the switching between communication modes.

[0026] c) The present invention reduces the complexity of hardware design of the entire gateway. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] Figure 1 It is a working block diagram of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions 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, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] The Star Flash module is a single module that integrates three communication standards: WiFi, Bluetooth, and SLE. It only requires software-level design to use one hardware module to implement the application and switching of three communication standards. This greatly reduces costs and ensures the compatibility of multiple communication standards:

[0030] 1) Star Flash Module:

[0031] The Xingshan module already supports three communication methods: WiFi, Bluetooth, and SLE. Only flexible software design is needed to achieve compatibility with the three communication standards.

[0032] 2) HTTP technology

[0033] Develop a complete user http interface so that users can switch between different communication methods and configure the parameters and modes of different communication methods in the web management interface.

[0034] 3) SQLite database technology

[0035] SQLite is an open source embedded relational database that implements a self-sufficient, serverless, configuration-free, transactional SQL database engine. Using SQLite technology, data tables are maintained locally to store user configuration parameters for different communication formats.

[0036] The present invention provides a multi-standard communication design method for integrating a gateway star flash module. By using a star flash module and combining it with software design, users can flexibly select three different communication standards: wifi, bluetooth and SLE, and configure related parameters.

[0037] The operation process of the whole system is as follows: we compile the drivers corresponding to the three communication standards into three independent ones. The user side sends the configuration information to the gateway by calling the interface of the gateway CPU. After receiving the information, the gateway loads the corresponding driver to drive the hardware in the Star Flash module to work and achieve the communication method switching.

[0038] The following is a specific implementation example using wifi startup as an example:

[0039] Step 1: The user turns on Wi-Fi through the web management interface.

[0040] Step 2: After the gateway receives the start command, it will load the WiFi driver of the Star Flash module.

[0041] Step 3: The user selects AP or STA mode on the network management page.

[0042] Step 4: After the gateway receives the mode information, the WiFi driver loads the corresponding functional module.

[0043] At this point, the communication format selected by the user begins to work officially.

[0044] In this invention, the drivers corresponding to the three different standards of WiFi, Bluetooth, and SLE are independently compiled and stored in the gateway. This facilitates subsequent separate calls.

[0045] The present invention provides a network management page to facilitate users to perform operation selections.

[0046] 1. Only one module is needed at the hardware level, not three modules corresponding to three communication standards.

[0047] 2. The drivers of the three communication formats are compiled separately and stored in the gateway for subsequent flexible loading and calling.

[0048] 3. The conveniently designed user interface allows users to switch communication formats and configure related parameters.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and is not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
