Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of FTTR terminal equipment fault monitoring, and in particular, to a FTTR terminal equipment posture monitoring system. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks have become the foundation for high-speed data transmission in modern homes and businesses. This has led to the emergence of fiber-to-the-room (FTTR) products, designed to directly connect every room via fiber, achieving higher-speed and more stable wireless network coverage. These products typically consist of a main gateway and multiple distributed fiber routers, which work together over fiber links to provide users with a comprehensive network solution. However, the implementation of this advanced network architecture not only relies on high-speed fiber-optic communication technology but also places higher demands on the thermal management of the equipment.

[0003] In recent years, to adapt to the demands of modern living environments, home FTTR products have been gradually becoming smaller and more aesthetically pleasing. While this improves the device's portability and spatial adaptability, it also presents challenges in heat dissipation design. Miniaturization means a more compact internal space and denser component layout, which places higher demands on the efficiency of the heat dissipation system. In particular, with technological advancements and feature upgrades, the power consumption of home FTTR products continues to increase. For example, the new generation of home FTTR devices may integrate multi-band Wi-Fi, smart gateways, storage services, and other features. These additional features significantly increase the device's power consumption, further exacerbating the heat dissipation pressure.

[0004] Currently, thermal design for home FTTR products primarily focuses on the device's normal placement, either vertically or horizontally. Initially, manufacturers assume the device will be positioned in the intended configuration and optimize the heat dissipation structure accordingly. However, in practice, users may arbitrarily change the device's placement based on personal preference or space constraints. For example, a device originally designed for vertical use may be placed horizontally or on its side. This change in placement often disrupts the device's original thermal balance, preventing effective internal heat dissipation, especially when a vertical device is placed horizontally or on its side. Devices placed in unintended locations for extended periods are prone to overheating due to a lack of thermal management optimization for these unusual placements, leading to a host of issues. The most immediate risk is thermal expansion of the device's casing, resulting in physical deformation. This not only affects the device's appearance but can also damage internal circuit boards and components, shortening the device's lifespan and impacting network performance and user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The embodiment of the present invention provides a FTTR terminal device posture monitoring system, which at least solves the problem in the related art that the FTTR terminal device that is placed in an unexpected state for a long time may overheat and cause the shell to deform.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a FTTR terminal device posture monitoring system is provided, comprising: a direction sensing sensor, arranged in the FTTR terminal device, for collecting data; a control platform, for determining the working posture of the FTTR terminal device based on the data, and generating an early warning prompt when the working posture is inconsistent with a preset posture.

[0007] Traditional thermal designs for household FTTR products are mostly targeted at normal placement. In the context of miniaturization and increased functionality leading to increased power consumption, users arbitrarily changing placement methods can easily disrupt thermal balance and cause problems such as overheating and shell deformation. The embodiments of the present invention employ a direction-sensing sensor installed in the FTTR terminal device to collect data, and the control platform determines the device's working posture based on this data. When the working posture is inconsistent with the preset posture, a warning prompt is generated. This technical solution can promptly detect unexpected device placement states and issue an early warning, allowing users to adjust the device to the correct posture, ensuring the normal operation of the cooling system, preventing device overheating, reducing the failure rate, and avoiding thermal expansion and deformation of the shell and damage to the internal circuits. This ensures network performance and user experience, effectively addressing the heat dissipation and reliability challenges faced by household FTTR products under the trend of miniaturization. Therefore, the problem of overheating and shell deformation of FTTR terminal devices that have been in unexpected placement states for a long time in the related art is solved, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the failure rate of FTTR terminal devices.

[0017] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0018] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0019] In this embodiment, a FTTR terminal device posture monitoring system is provided. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the FTTR terminal device posture monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an FTTR terminal device having a direction sensing sensor installed therein according to an embodiment of the present invention at a first viewing angle, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the FTTR terminal equipment posture monitoring system includes:

[0020] A direction sensing sensor 2 is provided in the FTTR terminal device 1 and is used to collect data;

[0021] The control platform 3 is used to determine the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 based on the data, and generate an early warning prompt when the working posture is inconsistent with the preset posture.

[0022] In an exemplary embodiment, the number of the direction sensing sensor 2 may be one or more.

[0023] Figure 3 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an FTTR terminal device with a direction sensing sensor installed therein according to an embodiment of the present invention, at a second viewing angle and with the back panel of the FTTR terminal device disassembled. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, for example, the direction sensing sensor 2 is a gyroscope, an acceleration sensor, a gravity sensor, etc. and can be set to only one, and one direction sensing sensor 2 is set in the FTTR terminal device 1 to use the direction sensing sensor 2 to collect posture-related data of the FTTR terminal device 1.

[0024] Alternatively, there may be multiple direction sensing sensors 2, and multiple of them may be installed at different positions inside the FTTR terminal device 1 to collect data related to the postures of different positions of the FTTR terminal device 1. The control platform 3 receives these data, processes and analyzes them to determine the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 at this time, that is, the real-time posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 when it is working. The working posture is compared with the pre-stored preset posture, and when the working posture is inconsistent with the preset posture, an early warning prompt is generated to remind the installer or user to adjust the posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 in time. Among them, since the direction sensing sensor 2 is installed inside the FTTR terminal device 1, Figure 2 The middle direction sensing sensor 2 is represented by a dotted circle. Figure 3 In the figure, the back panel of the FTTR terminal device 1 is disassembled. Inside the FTTR terminal device 1, it can be seen that most of the space is used to install the printed circuit board 6. The area not covered by the printed circuit board 6 can be used to install the direction sensing sensor 2. Figure 3 The direction sensing sensor 2 is represented by a solid circle, so that the direction sensing sensor 2 is placed inside the FTTR terminal device 1 to collect data from the FTTR terminal device 1 , which not only does not affect the appearance of the FTTR terminal device 1 but also saves space in the FTTR terminal device 1 .

[0025] In one embodiment, the direction sensing sensor 2 includes a plurality of gravity sensors, and the plurality of gravity sensors are respectively located at different positions of the FTTR terminal device 1 .

[0026] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an FTTR terminal device having six gravity sensors installed therein according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, for example, there are six gravity sensors, which may be six gravity switches. For example, they are: a first gravity switch 21, a second gravity switch 22, a third gravity switch 23, a fourth gravity switch 24, a fifth gravity switch 25, and a sixth gravity switch 26. The first gravity switch 21, the second gravity switch 22, the third gravity switch 23, the fourth gravity switch 24, the fifth gravity switch 25, and the sixth gravity switch 26 are all installed inside the FTTR terminal device 1. Specifically, the first gravity switch 21 is installed at the top of the FTTR terminal device 1, the second gravity switch 22 is installed at the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1, the third gravity switch 23 is installed at the left side of the FTTR terminal device 1, the fourth gravity switch 24 is installed at the right side of the FTTR terminal device 1, the fifth gravity switch 25 is installed at the front side of the FTTR terminal device 1, and the sixth gravity switch 26 is installed at the back side of the FTTR terminal device 1.

[0027] Traditional thermal designs for home FTTR products are primarily designed for normal placement. As device miniaturization and increased functionality lead to increased power consumption, users' arbitrary changes to placement can easily disrupt thermal balance, leading to overheating, casing deformation, and other issues. The present invention employs a technical solution that utilizes a direction sensing sensor 2 installed in the FTTR terminal device 1 to collect data. The control platform 3 determines the device's operating position based on this data and generates an alert when the operating position deviates from the preset position. This solution promptly detects unexpected device placement and issues an alert, allowing the user to adjust the device to the correct position. This ensures the proper functioning of the cooling system, prevents overheating, reduces failure rates, and avoids thermal expansion and deformation of the casing, which could damage internal circuitry. This effectively addresses the heat dissipation and reliability challenges faced by home FTTR products amidst the trend toward miniaturization. This solution addresses the related art issue of overheating and casing deformation in FTTR terminal devices 1 that are placed in unexpected positions for extended periods, thereby reducing the failure rate of FTTR terminal devices 1.

[0028] In one embodiment, the control platform 3 is further configured to:

[0029] Acquire a first state of the FTTR terminal device 1 after a preset interval time;

[0030] When the first state is that the housing of the FTTR terminal device 1 has not been deformed relative to the housing of the FTTR terminal device 1 a preset interval time ago, the working posture is determined as the preset posture.

[0031] In an exemplary embodiment, when the FTTR terminal device 1 is operating and in an incorrect posture for a long period of time, poor heat dissipation within the FTTR terminal device 1 may result in local overheating, which may cause deformation of the outer shell or even a melting shell. Therefore, the control platform 3 is used to obtain the status of the FTTR terminal device 1 in real time or intermittently, for example, detecting the first state of the FTTR terminal device 1 after a preset interval, and comparing the outer shell of the FTTR terminal device 1 in the first state with the outer shell of the FTTR terminal device 1 before the preset interval to determine whether the first state after the preset interval has experienced shell deformation or a melting shell. For example, if the first state shows no shell deformation or a melting shell, then the corresponding working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 is correct, and this working posture can be determined as the preset posture. Alternatively, if the first state shows shell deformation or a melting shell, then the corresponding working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 is incorrect and recorded as an incorrect posture. The preset interval can be set based on actual conditions.

[0032] In one embodiment, the control platform 3 is further configured to determine the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 based on data collected by multiple gravity sensors.

[0033] In an exemplary embodiment, the control platform 3 collects data of the top, bottom, left side, right side, front side and back side of the FTTR terminal device 1 based on the first gravity switch 21, the second gravity switch 22, the third gravity switch 23, the fourth gravity switch 24, the fifth gravity switch 25 and the sixth gravity switch 26, and sends the data of the top, bottom, left side, right side, front side and back side of the FTTR terminal device 1 to the control platform 3, so that the control platform 3 comprehensively determines the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 based on the data of the first gravity switch 21, the second gravity switch 22, the third gravity switch 23, the fourth gravity switch 24, the fifth gravity switch 25 and the sixth gravity switch 26.

[0034] Alternatively, although the FTTR terminal device 1 is equipped with the first gravity switch 21, the second gravity switch 22, the third gravity switch 23, the fourth gravity switch 24, the fifth gravity switch 25, and the sixth gravity switch 26, the control platform 3 is not limited to determining the operating posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 based on the data from the first gravity switch 21, the second gravity switch 22, the third gravity switch 23, the fourth gravity switch 24, the fifth gravity switch 25, and the sixth gravity switch 26. For example, if the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 is in contact with the table as the preset posture, the operating posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 may be determined based on only any one of the data from the first gravity switch 21, the second gravity switch 22, the third gravity switch 23, the fourth gravity switch 24, the fifth gravity switch 25, and the sixth gravity switch 26.

[0035] Specifically, for example, if the state of the first gravity switch 21 when the top of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop is different from the state of the first gravity switch 21 when the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop, or when the left side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop, or when the right side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop, or when the front side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop, or when the back side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop, then the operating posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 can be determined to be incorrect based solely on the state of the first gravity switch 21. That is, the operating posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 is correct only when the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop. Therefore, the operating posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 can be determined based solely on the data collected by the first gravity switch 21. The principle that the control platform 3 determines the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 based only on the data collected by the second gravity switch 22 or the third gravity switch 23 or the fourth gravity switch 24 or the fifth gravity switch 25 or the sixth gravity switch 26 is similar and will not be elaborated here.

[0036] In one embodiment, the control platform 3 is further configured to sequentially obtain binary values ​​corresponding to data collected by multiple gravity sensors and generate a binary sequence, and determine and store a mapping relationship between the binary sequence and the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 .

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, for example, the first gravity switch 21 is turned on only when the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the tabletop, and the output signal value is 0. In all other positions of the FTTR terminal device 1, the first gravity switch 21 is in the off state, and the output signal value is 1. The second gravity switch 22 is turned on only when the top of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the tabletop, and the output signal value is 0. In all other positions of the FTTR terminal device 1, the second gravity switch 22 is in the off state, and the output signal value is 1. The third gravity switch 23 is turned on only when the right side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the tabletop, and the output signal value is 0. In all other positions of the FTTR terminal device 1, the third gravity switch 23 is in the off state, and the output signal value is 1. The fourth gravity switch 24 is turned on only when the left side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the tabletop, and the output signal value is 0. In all other positions of the FTTR terminal device 1, the fourth gravity switch 24 is in the off state, and the output signal value is 1. The fifth gravity switch 25 is turned on only when the rear side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop, and its output signal value is 0. In all other positions of the FTTR terminal device 1, the fifth gravity switch 25 is turned off, and its output signal value is 1. The sixth gravity switch 26 is turned on only when the front side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop, and its output signal value is 0. In all other positions of the FTTR terminal device 1, the sixth gravity switch 26 is turned on, and its output signal value is 0. In all other positions of the FTTR terminal device 1, the sixth gravity switch 26 is turned off, and its output signal value is 1. Furthermore, the control platform 3 sequentially sorts the binary values ​​output by the sixth gravity switch 26, the fifth gravity switch 25, the fourth gravity switch 24, the third gravity switch 23, the second gravity switch 22, and the first gravity switch 21, in this order, from the lowest bit to the highest bit, to obtain a binary sequence, and determines and stores a mapping relationship between the binary sequence and the operating position of the FTTR terminal device 1. The mapping relationship table between the binary sequence and the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 is as follows:

[0038]

[0039] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the FTTR terminal device posture monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 ,like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the FTTR terminal device posture monitoring system further includes: a user terminal interface 4 for receiving and displaying the working posture sent by the control platform 3.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, for example, when the control platform 3 determines based on the received data that the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 corresponding to the data is the bottom touching the desktop, or the top touching the desktop, or the right side touching the desktop, or the left side touching the desktop, or the back side touching the desktop, or the front side touching the desktop, "bottom touching the desktop" or "top touching the desktop" or "right side touching the desktop" or "left side touching the desktop" or "back side touching the desktop" or "front side touching the desktop" can be displayed in the user terminal interface 4, so that the user can intuitively understand the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 at a certain moment.

[0041] In one embodiment, the control platform 3 is further configured to send the binary sequence to the user terminal interface 4 so that the user terminal interface 4 displays the binary sequence.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, for example, the control platform 3 determines based on the received data that the corresponding binary sequence of the data is "011111" or "101111" or "110111" or "111011" or "111101" or "111110", and then "011111" or "101111" or "110111" or "111011" or "111101" or "111110" can be directly sent to the user terminal interface 4, so that the user can determine the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 at a certain moment based on the binary sequence displayed on the user terminal interface 4.

[0043] In one embodiment, the control platform 3 is further configured to:

[0044] Convert binary sequence into pose information;

[0045] The posture information is sent to the user terminal interface 4 so that the user terminal interface 4 displays the posture information.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the control platform 3 determines that "011111" corresponds to the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 as bottom contacting the desktop based on the binary sequence "011111" corresponding to the received data, and then "the working posture of the FTTR terminal device is bottom contacting the desktop" can be displayed on the user terminal interface 4. The control platform 3 determines that "101111" corresponds to the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 as top contacting the desktop based on the binary sequence "101111" corresponding to the received data, and then "the working posture of the FTTR terminal device is top contacting the desktop" can be displayed on the user terminal interface 4. The control platform 3 determines that "110111" corresponds to the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 as right contacting the desktop based on the binary sequence "110111" corresponding to the received data, and then "the working posture of the FTTR terminal device is right contacting the desktop" can be displayed on the user terminal interface 4. If the binary sequence corresponding to the received data is "111011," the control platform 3 determines that "111011" corresponds to the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1, which is the left side contacting the desktop. The control platform 3 can then display "FTTR terminal device working posture is left side contacting the desktop" on the user terminal interface 4. If the binary sequence corresponding to the received data is "111101," the control platform 3 determines that "111101" corresponds to the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1, which is the back side contacting the desktop. The control platform 3 can then display "FTTR terminal device working posture is back side contacting the desktop" on the user terminal interface 4. If the binary sequence corresponding to the received data is "111110," the control platform 3 determines that "111110" corresponds to the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1, which is the front side contacting the desktop. The control platform 3 can then display "FTTR terminal device working posture is front side contacting the desktop" on the user terminal interface 4. This allows the user to intuitively understand the posture information of the FTTR terminal device 1 through the user terminal interface 4.

[0047] In one embodiment, the control platform 3 is further configured to:

[0048] Convert binary sequences to decimal values;

[0049] The decimal value is sent to the user terminal interface 4 so that the user terminal interface 4 displays the decimal value.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, the control platform 3 can not only determine the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 based on the binary sequence, but can also establish a mapping relationship between the decimal value and the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 to determine the corresponding working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 based on the decimal value. Furthermore, the control platform 3 can also display the decimal value converted from the binary sequence on the user terminal interface 4, so that the user can determine the corresponding working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 based on the decimal value. Alternatively, a mapping relationship comparison table between the decimal value and the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 is displayed on the user terminal interface 4, so that the user can determine the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 corresponding to the decimal value based on the comparison table. Among them, the mapping relationship comparison table between the decimal value and the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 is as follows:

[0051]

[0052] In one embodiment, the control platform 3 is further configured to:

[0053] Convert decimal value to attitude information;

[0054] The posture information is sent to the user terminal interface 4 so that the user terminal interface 4 displays the posture information.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, when the binary sequence corresponding to the received data is "011111", the control platform 3 converts "011111" into a decimal value "31", and then converts the decimal value "31" into "bottom touching the desktop", and then the user terminal interface 4 may display "the working posture of the FTTR terminal device is bottom touching the desktop". When the binary sequence corresponding to the received data is "101111", the control platform 3 converts "101111" into a decimal value "47", and then the decimal value "47" is converted into "top touching the desktop", and then the user terminal interface 4 may display "the working posture of the FTTR terminal device is top touching the desktop". When the binary sequence corresponding to the received data is "110111", the control platform 3 converts "110111" into a decimal value "55", and then the decimal value "55" is converted into "right touching the desktop", and then the user terminal interface 4 may display "the working posture of the FTTR terminal device is right touching the desktop". If the binary sequence corresponding to the received data is "111011", the control platform 3 converts "111011" into a decimal value "59", and then converts the decimal value "59" into "left side touching the desktop", and then the user terminal interface 4 can display "The working posture of the FTTR terminal device is the left side touching the desktop". If the binary sequence corresponding to the received data is "111101", the control platform 3 converts "111101" into a decimal value "61", and then the decimal value "61" into "back side touching the desktop", and then the user terminal interface 4 can display "The working posture of the FTTR terminal device is the back side touching the desktop". If the binary sequence corresponding to the received data is "111110", the control platform 3 converts "111110" into a decimal value "62", and then the decimal value "62" into "front side touching the desktop", and then the user terminal interface 4 can display "The working posture of the FTTR terminal device is the front side touching the desktop".

[0056] In one embodiment, the control platform 3 is further configured to control the indicator light 5 of the FTTR terminal device 1 to light up when the working posture is inconsistent with the preset posture, so as to generate an early warning prompt.

[0057] Figure 6 1 is a schematic diagram of a state in which an indicator light of an FTTR terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention is lit when the working posture is inconsistent with the preset posture. Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of a state in which the indicator light of the FTTR terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention is not lit when the working posture is consistent with the preset posture. In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the control platform 3 compares the recognized working posture with the preset posture. If the working posture is inconsistent with the preset posture, the control platform 3 controls the indicator light 5 of the FTTR terminal device 1 to illuminate, generating a warning prompt. If the working posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 is consistent with the preset posture, the indicator light 5 of the FTTR terminal device 1 is controlled not to illuminate. A separate indicator light 5 can be set to determine whether the posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 is correct, or an unused indicator light 5 of the FTTR terminal device 1 can be used.

[0058] In one embodiment, the control platform 3 is further configured to: when the working posture is inconsistent with the preset posture, control the user terminal interface 4 to display prompt information to generate an early warning prompt.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the control platform 3 compares the identified working posture with a preset posture, and if the working posture is inconsistent with the preset posture, controls the user terminal interface 4 to display a prompt message to generate a warning prompt. The warning prompt may be displayed as "The working posture of the FTTR terminal device is incorrect. Please adjust the placement of the FTTR terminal device." Alternatively, the warning prompt may be displayed as "The working posture of the FTTR terminal device is incorrect. Please touch the bottom of the FTTR terminal device to the desktop (the correct placement of the FTTR terminal device in a vertical position)." Alternatively, the warning prompt may be displayed as "The working posture of the FTTR terminal device is incorrect. Please touch the back of the FTTR terminal device to the desktop (the correct placement of the FTTR terminal device in a horizontal position)."

[0060] In one embodiment, the working posture is the posture in which the FTTR terminal device 1 is placed when powered on.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, the above-described technical solution provides a clear monitoring baseline and starting state for the FTTR terminal device posture monitoring system. By defining the device's posture at the moment of power-on as the operating posture, the system can monitor changes in the device's posture in real time, promptly detecting whether the device is placed in an unexpected position or angle. This definition ensures accurate and targeted monitoring, enabling the control platform 3 to accurately determine whether the current posture is consistent with the preset posture based on the data collected by the direction sensing sensor 2, and generate a warning if there is a discrepancy. This effectively prevents problems such as overheating and casing deformation caused by improper device placement, ensuring the normal operation and service life of the device.

[0062] In one embodiment, the control platform 3 is further configured to generate an early warning prompt when the working posture is inconsistent with multiple sub-postures, wherein the preset posture includes multiple sub-postures.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, for a vertically placed FTTR terminal device 1, the heat dissipation path within the FTTR terminal device 1 is primarily along the height direction of the FTTR terminal device 1. Therefore, the placement of the FTTR terminal device 1 can be such that the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop, or the top of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop, both of which enable the FTTR terminal device 1 to meet good heat dissipation performance. The bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 and the top of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacting the desktop can be used as sub-postures, i.e., the preset correct placement postures. When the working posture is inconsistent with either the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacting the desktop or the top of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacting the desktop, an early warning prompt is generated. Therefore, the right side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacting the desktop, the left side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacting the desktop, the back side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacting the desktop, or the front side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacting the desktop can all be used as incorrect placement postures for the FTTR terminal device 1.

[0064] For a horizontally placed FTTR terminal device 1, the heat dissipation path within the FTTR terminal device 1 is primarily along the horizontal direction of the FTTR terminal device 1. Therefore, the placement of the FTTR terminal device 1 can be one in which the right side of the FTTR terminal device 1 touches the desktop, or the left side of the FTTR terminal device 1 touches the desktop, or the back side of the FTTR terminal device 1 touches the desktop, or the front side of the FTTR terminal device 1 touches the desktop. The right side of the FTTR terminal device 1 touching the desktop, the left side of the FTTR terminal device 1 touching the desktop, the back side of the FTTR terminal device 1 touching the desktop, or the front side of the FTTR terminal device 1 touching the desktop can be used as sub-postures, i.e., the preset correct placement postures. If the working posture is inconsistent with the right side of the FTTR terminal device 1 touching the desktop, the left side of the FTTR terminal device 1 touching the desktop, the back side of the FTTR terminal device 1 touching the desktop, or the front side of the FTTR terminal device 1 touching the desktop, an early warning prompt is generated. Therefore, the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 touching the desktop or the top of the FTTR terminal device 1 touching the desktop can both be considered incorrect placement postures for the FTTR terminal device 1.

[0065] In one embodiment, the control platform 3 is further configured to generate an early warning prompt when the working posture is inconsistent with the first sub-posture, wherein the first sub-posture is one of the sub-postures in the preset postures.

[0066] In an exemplary embodiment, for example, for a vertically placed FTTR terminal device 1, the heat dissipation path within the FTTR terminal device 1 is mainly along the height direction of the FTTR terminal device 1, and there is an optimal heat dissipation path. Therefore, the placement posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 is relatively strict. For example, the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop, which is the optimal placement posture of the FTTR terminal device 1. Other placement postures except the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop may cause the outer shell of the FTTR terminal device 1 to deform or melt. Therefore, for a vertically placed FTTR terminal device 1, the control platform 3 determines the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop as the first sub-posture among the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop and the top of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop. The control platform 3 compares the working posture with the first sub-posture and generates a warning prompt if the working posture is inconsistent with the first sub-posture.

[0067] For example, for a horizontally placed FTTR terminal device 1, the heat dissipation path within the FTTR terminal device 1 primarily runs along the horizontal direction of the FTTR terminal device 1, and an optimal heat dissipation path exists. Therefore, the placement of the FTTR terminal device 1 is relatively strict. For example, the optimal placement position for the FTTR terminal device 1 is when the rear side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop. Any other placement position other than the rear side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacting the desktop may cause deformation or melting of the outer shell of the FTTR terminal device 1. Therefore, for a horizontally placed FTTR terminal device 1, the control platform 3 determines the rear side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacting the desktop as the first sub-position among the right side contacting the desktop, the left side contacting the desktop, the rear side contacting the desktop, and the front side contacting the desktop. The control platform 3 compares the working posture with the first sub-position and generates a warning if the working posture is inconsistent with the first sub-position.

[0068] In one embodiment, the control platform 3 is further configured to generate an early warning prompt when the working posture is inconsistent with the second sub-posture, wherein the second sub-posture is the optimal posture for the FTTR terminal device 1 to be placed during operation.

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, for example, for a vertically placed FTTR terminal device 1, the heat dissipation path within the FTTR terminal device 1 is mainly along the height direction of the FTTR terminal device 1, and there is an optimal heat dissipation path. Therefore, the placement posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 is relatively strict. For example, the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop, which is the optimal placement posture of the FTTR terminal device 1. Other placement postures except the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop may cause the outer shell of the FTTR terminal device 1 to deform or melt. Therefore, the control platform 3 determines that the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop as the second sub-posture. The control platform 3 compares the working posture with the second sub-posture, and generates a warning prompt when the working posture is inconsistent with the second sub-posture.

[0070] For example, for a horizontally placed FTTR terminal device 1, the heat dissipation path within the FTTR terminal device 1 is mainly along the horizontal direction of the FTTR terminal device 1, and there is an optimal heat dissipation path. Therefore, the placement of the FTTR terminal device 1 is relatively strict. For example, the optimal placement of the FTTR terminal device 1 is when the back side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop. Other placement postures except the back side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacting the desktop may cause deformation or melting of the shell of the FTTR terminal device 1. Therefore, the control platform 3 determines that the back side of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacting the desktop is the second sub-posture. The control platform 3 compares the working posture with the second sub-posture and generates a warning prompt if the working posture is inconsistent with the second sub-posture.

[0071] In one embodiment, the control platform 3 includes:

[0072] The controller is connected to multiple gravity sensors. When the first gravity sensor is turned on, the controller outputs a binary value of 0 for the first gravity sensor; when the first gravity sensor is turned off, the controller outputs a binary value of 1 for the first gravity sensor; wherein the first gravity sensor is any one of the multiple gravity sensors, the first gravity sensor is installed at a preset position of the FTTR terminal device 1, and the on state or off state of the first gravity sensor is related to the orientation of the preset position of the FTTR terminal device 1.

[0073] In one exemplary embodiment, when the FTTR terminal device 1 is in a certain posture, gravity sensors installed at different locations on the device will be turned on or off depending on their orientation. For example, when the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 touches the table, the first gravity sensor installed at the top is closed, and the output signal value is 0. When another part of the FTTR terminal device 1 touches the table, the first gravity sensor remains off, and the output signal value is 1. Therefore, the operating posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 can be determined based on the output signal value of the first gravity sensor.

[0074] Alternatively, when the bottom of the FTTR terminal device 1 contacts the desktop, the first gravity sensor installed on the top closes, outputting a signal value of 0; while gravity switches installed elsewhere remain open, outputting a signal value of 1. The controller monitors the output signal of each gravity sensor in real time and processes these signals according to pre-set rules. Specifically, the controller sequentially obtains the binary values ​​of each gravity sensor in a certain order and generates a binary sequence. For example, the binary values ​​of each gravity switch are sorted from low to high in the order of the sixth gravity switch 26, the fifth gravity switch 25, the fourth gravity switch 24, the third gravity switch 23, the second gravity switch 22, and the first gravity switch 21, resulting in a binary sequence. By pre-establishing a mapping relationship between the binary sequence and the operating posture of the FTTR terminal device 1, the controller can quickly and accurately determine the operating posture corresponding to the current binary sequence. For example: "011111" means the bottom touches the table, "101111" means the top touches the table, "110111" means the right side touches the table, "111011" means the left side touches the table, "111101" means the back side touches the table, and "111110" means the front side touches the table.

[0075] Therefore, after determining the working posture, the controller compares it with a pre-stored preset posture. If the working posture is inconsistent with the preset posture, the controller generates a warning prompt. The warning prompt can be presented in various ways, such as controlling the indicator light 5 of the FTTR terminal device 1 to illuminate, or displaying a prompt message on the user terminal interface 4, to remind the installer or user to adjust the posture of the FTTR terminal device 1 in a timely manner.

[0076] During system initialization, the controller tests and calibrates each gravity sensor to ensure accurate signal output. This includes adjusting sensor sensitivity and filtering noise to improve system monitoring accuracy. The controller continuously monitors the gravity sensor signals and updates the binary sequence and operating posture information in real time. This allows for timely detection of changes in device posture and prompts for early warnings when anomalies occur.

[0077] Therefore, by employing the aforementioned technical means, the control platform 3 facilitates subsequent logical processing and posture determination, laying the foundation for precise monitoring and early warning functions. By converting the gravity switch's on-state into a binary value and generating a binary sequence, the controller can represent the device's different operating postures in a unified, standardized digital format, making subsequent posture analysis, comparison, and early warning generation more efficient and reliable. This conversion process is a key step in achieving intelligent and automated monitoring for the entire monitoring system, providing fundamental data support for subsequent real-time monitoring, early warning generation, and display on the user terminal interface 4.

[0078] This embodiment also provides a method for monitoring the posture of an FTTR terminal device. Figure 8 : is a flow chart of a method for monitoring the posture of an FTTR terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 Shown, including:

[0079] Collect data from the FTTR terminal device, wherein a direction sensing sensor (which may be one or more, such as a gyroscope, an acceleration sensor, a gravity sensor, etc.) is provided in the FTTR terminal device to collect relevant data on the device's posture and transmit this data back to the operator's or manufacturer's data analysis center. In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of gravity sensors are installed at different locations (such as the top, bottom, left side, right side, front side, and back side) in the FTTR terminal device. The control platform determines the working posture of the FTTR terminal device based on the data collected by each gravity sensor, and generates an early warning prompt when the working posture is inconsistent with the preset posture. The control platform can also sequentially obtain the binary values ​​corresponding to the data collected by the plurality of gravity sensors and generate a binary sequence, determine and store the mapping relationship between the binary sequence and the working posture of the device, and then determine whether the device posture is correct.

[0080] If the control platform determines that the FTTR terminal equipment is placed correctly, it will feed back the data to the installer or manufacturer, prompting them that the equipment is placed correctly and the installation is completed. The data will also be tracked in real time to continuously monitor the equipment posture and ensure that the FTTR terminal equipment is always in the correct placement state to ensure the normal operation of the FTTR terminal equipment and the normal performance of functions such as heat dissipation.

[0081] If the control platform determines that the FTTR terminal equipment is not placed correctly, the operator or manufacturer's data analysis center will provide feedback to the installer based on the user's actual placement method. After the engineering installer communicates with the user, the engineering installer will confirm the correct placement of the equipment based on the communication situation. The FTTR terminal equipment will then be placed correctly, and data feedback and other operations will be performed again through relevant processes to form a closed-loop monitoring and adjustment process until the FTTR terminal equipment is correctly placed.

[0082] The control platform will also send the analysis results to the user terminal interface for display. The user terminal interface will use different graphic symbols to display the posture of the FTTR terminal device. The circle represents the correct placement, the rectangle represents the incorrect placement, and the triangle represents the actual placement posture of the FTTR terminal device, so that the user can intuitively understand the current placement status of the FTTR terminal device.

[0083] It should be noted that the direction sensing sensor is installed inside the FTTR terminal equipment, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown. When judging the working posture of the FTTR terminal equipment, the control platform can not only obtain the data collected by the direction perception sensor, but also obtain the status of the equipment after a preset interval, such as detecting whether the shell is deformed, etc., and comprehensively judge whether the working posture is the preset posture, further improving the accuracy and reliability of posture monitoring. It also involves converting binary sequences into posture information, decimal values, etc., to facilitate the user terminal interface display and user understanding of the real-time posture of the FTTR terminal equipment, or to control the lighting of the indicator light of the FTTR terminal equipment, display prompt information on the user terminal interface, etc. to generate early warning prompts, realize effective monitoring and reminders of the equipment posture from multiple aspects, ensure the normal operation and performance of the FTTR terminal equipment, and solve the problems of overheating and shell deformation caused by the equipment being placed in an unexpected state for a long time in related technologies, so as to reduce the equipment failure rate.

[0084] By adopting the above technical solutions, a complete FTTR terminal equipment posture monitoring solution is built, realizing full-process monitoring and processing from data collection, analysis and judgment to feedback adjustment, effectively responding to challenges such as heat dissipation and reliability under the miniaturization trend of home FTTR products.

[0085] It should be noted that the above modules can be implemented through software or hardware. For the latter, it can be implemented in the following ways, but not limited to: the above modules are all located in the same processor; or the above modules are located in different processors in any combination.
