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 ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. In this document, the terms "comprise", "include" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device that includes the element.

[0019] [Example 1] In the prior art, electrical equipment directly uses cellular modules or WiFi modules during the debugging and maintenance process, which increases hardware costs. Charging equipment is upgraded by disassembling and wiring, which requires professionals to spend a lot of time on communication. Old machines in the warehouse need batch program upgrades, which require disassembly and upgrading, consuming a lot of time and labor costs. Furthermore, when the equipment is inspected and upgraded abroad, customers may not cooperate, resulting in communication difficulties. Engineers are dispatched on business trips to the site for debugging, upgrading, and problem inspections, further increasing maintenance costs. Example 1 of the present invention provides the following solution: like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a remote debugging method for a charging device, including: Step 1: The charging device establishes a communication connection with the mobile terminal via the Bluetooth communication protocol, and the mobile terminal establishes a real-time communication connection with the cloud server via the full-duplex communication protocol.

[0022] Step 2: The mobile terminal receives the debugging information sent by the cloud server in real time, and sends the debugging information to the charging device via the Bluetooth communication protocol.

[0023] In some embodiments, the cloud server sends debugging instructions to the mobile terminal in real time via the WebSocket communication protocol, and the mobile terminal sends them to the charging device via the Bluetooth communication protocol for real-time debugging.

[0024] It should be noted that after connecting to the cloud server and obtaining an invitation code, maintenance engineers remotely connect to the corresponding mobile terminal app or mini-program through the cloud server's web platform using the invitation code, communicating with it in real time. This supports concurrent connections and information logging for 100,000 devices. They then issue debugging commands to the charging device via the Bluetooth communication protocol, allowing for maintenance and debugging. Maintenance engineers can also upload and download charging device program upgrade packages in real time.

[0025] In some embodiments, the mobile terminal downloads the firmware upgrade package from the cloud server through an application and sends it to the charging device through the Bluetooth communication protocol.

[0026] Step 3: The charging device sends the feedback information to the mobile terminal via the Bluetooth communication protocol, and the mobile terminal sends the feedback information to the cloud server in real time.

[0027] It should be noted that every debugging of the charging equipment by the maintenance engineer will be fed back to the maintenance engineer through the WebSocket communication protocol, thereby ensuring the real-time and accuracy of the maintenance test.
