Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of smart home technology, and more specifically, to a protocol message transmission method and apparatus based on a Mesh network, a Mesh device, a system, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of computer network and IoT technologies, intelligent IoT application scenarios are becoming increasingly diverse. In the field of smart home appliances, BLE-Mesh (Bluetooth Low Energy Mesh) networking technology is becoming increasingly widespread, often used in devices such as smart lights and smart switches. This networking technology is characterized by simple control and relatively short message lengths. Furthermore, while BLE-Mesh networking technology transmits messages with relatively short message lengths, it does have the need to report the status of controlled Mesh devices and their online status.

[0003] BLE-Mesh networking technology relies on BLE broadcasts to transmit data within a small coverage area. In group control scenarios, a large number of mesh devices within the coverage area are controlled simultaneously. In related technologies, all mesh devices simultaneously report their own messages, which include the status of the mesh devices after being controlled and their online status.

[0004] During the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure, it was found that at least the following problems exist in the related art:

[0005] In related technologies, mesh devices under group control report messages simultaneously, resulting in a large number of messages being forwarded over the air interface. However, mesh device chips have limited processing capabilities. When the air interface is overloaded with messages, the mesh device chips cannot process the large number of messages simultaneously, resulting in network monitoring devices being unable to effectively receive messages sent by all mesh devices, reducing mesh network performance.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to ordinary technicians in this field.

[0013] In some embodiments, generating a random number based on a linear congruential method further includes: inputting an initialization random number into a random algorithm to calculate a random number, and selecting a random number obtained by the previous calculation as a reference random number;

[0014] Input the reference random number to the random number algorithm to calculate a new random number; wherein the random number obtained in the previous calculation represents the random value generated based on the linear congruential method under the previous group control before the current group control.

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0032] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0033] According to one aspect of the embodiment of the present application, a protocol message transmission method based on a Mesh network is provided. The protocol message transmission method based on a Mesh network is widely used in smart home (Smart Home), smart home, smart home device ecology, smart residential (Intelligence House) ecology and other whole-house intelligent digital control application scenarios. Optionally, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned protocol message transmission method based on a Mesh network can be applied to Figure 1 The hardware environment shown is composed of Mesh (wireless mesh network) device 102 and network monitoring device 104. Figure 1 As shown, the network monitoring device 104 is connected to the Mesh device 102 via a network. The network monitoring device 104 can be a gateway device, or a switch or a router.

[0034] The aforementioned network may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a wired network and a wireless network. The aforementioned wired network may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a wide area network, a metropolitan area network, and a local area network. The aforementioned wireless network may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) and Bluetooth. Mesh devices 102 may be, but are not limited to, smart lighting, smart switches, smart air conditioners, smart range hoods, smart refrigerators, smart ovens, smart stoves, smart washing machines, smart water heaters, smart laundry appliances, smart dishwashers, smart projectors, smart televisions, smart clothes drying racks, smart curtains, smart audio and video equipment, smart sockets, smart speakers, smart speakers, smart ventilation equipment, smart kitchen and bathroom equipment, smart bathroom equipment, smart sweeping robots, smart window cleaning robots, smart mopping robots, smart air purifiers, smart steamers, smart microwave ovens, smart kitchen appliances, smart purifiers, smart water dispensers, smart door locks, and the like.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the Mesh device includes a timer, and the timer is used to perform timing operations based on a target queuing duration.

[0036] Combine Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a protocol message transmission method based on a Mesh network, including:

[0037] S01: The Mesh device receives a network control request sent by a network monitoring device and determines a network control type based on the network control request.

[0038] S02: The Mesh device determines the target queuing time of the network protocol message according to the network control type and starts the timing operation.

[0039] S03: When the timing duration matches the target queuing duration, the Mesh device sends a network protocol message to the network monitoring device, so that the network monitoring device reports the network protocol message.

[0040] In this step, the timing duration matches the target queuing duration, including: the timing duration is greater than or equal to the target queuing duration.

[0041] Using the protocol message transmission method based on a mesh network provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, a mesh device in the embodiment of the present disclosure receives a network control request sent by a network monitoring device and determines the network control type based on the request. The mesh device then determines the target queuing time for the network protocol message based on the network control type and initiates a timing operation. When the timing duration matches the target queuing time, it indicates that the time has arrived for sending the mesh device's network protocol message. At this time, the mesh device sends the network protocol message to the network monitoring device. The embodiment of the present disclosure can determine the target queuing time based on the actual network control type and perform the corresponding timing operation. When it is determined based on the timing duration that the time has arrived for sending the network protocol message, the message is sent, causing the network monitoring device to report the message. In this way, the network monitoring device can receive network protocol messages sent by different mesh devices at different times, thereby successfully receiving messages sent by all mesh devices. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can avoid the situation where network protocol messages sent by all mesh devices are processed simultaneously, which is beneficial to improving the network performance of the mesh network.

[0042] Optionally, the network control request includes a network control type. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the Mesh device determines the target queuing time of the network protocol message based on the network control type, including:

[0043] S11, when the network control type indicates group control, the Mesh device generates a random number based on a linear congruential method.

[0044] In this step, if the network control type indicates group control, it means that all Mesh devices are controlled simultaneously. If the network control type indicates single group control, it means that the Mesh device is controlled individually.

[0045] S12, the Mesh device determines a target queue time according to a correspondence between the random number and the queue time, wherein the random number is positively correlated with the queue time.

[0046] S13, after determining the target queuing time, the Mesh device starts a timer to perform a timing operation.

[0047] Thus, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the network control type indicates group control, it indicates that all Mesh devices are controlled simultaneously. To avoid the situation where the network monitoring device simultaneously receives network protocol messages sent by all Mesh devices, the embodiment of the present disclosure determines the target queue length based on the positive correlation between the random number and the queue length, and starts the timer timing operation according to the target queue length. In this way, different Mesh devices no longer send network protocol messages simultaneously, but instead send them according to the timing of the timer. This allows the network monitoring device to receive network protocol messages from each Mesh device at different times, thereby improving the network performance of the Mesh network.

[0048] Optionally, the Mesh device determines the target queuing time according to a correspondence between the random number and the queuing time, including: the Mesh device determines the target queuing time according to a remainder of the random number and a reference timing time.

[0049] In this way, the disclosed embodiment can calculate the target queue duration by taking the modulus of the random number and the reference timing duration. This not only accurately determines the target queue duration, but also reduces computational complexity. Furthermore, by taking the modulus of the random number and the reference timing duration, it can avoid situations where the number of Mesh devices is small and the response time of Mesh devices is too long.

[0050] Combine Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a protocol message transmission method based on a Mesh network, including:

[0051] S21, the Mesh device receives a network control request sent by the network monitoring device, and determines a network control type based on the network control request.

[0052] S22: When the network control type indicates group control, the Mesh device generates a random number based on a linear congruential method.

[0053] S23, the Mesh device determines a target queueing time according to a correspondence between the random number and the queueing time, wherein the random number is positively correlated with the queueing time.

[0054] S24, after determining the target queue duration, the Mesh device starts a timer to perform a timing operation.

[0055] S25, when the timing duration matches the target queuing duration, the Mesh device sends a network protocol message to the network monitoring device, so that the network monitoring device reports the network protocol message.

[0056] S26 , when the network control type indicates single group control, the Mesh device sends a network protocol message to the network monitoring device, so that the network monitoring device reports the network protocol message.

[0057] The mesh network-based protocol message transmission method provided by the disclosed embodiments employs a linear congruential method to generate a random number under group control, determine a target queue time based on the positive correlation between the random number and the queue time, and perform corresponding timing operations. The method then sends a message when the time to send a network protocol message has been reached based on the timed duration, enabling the network monitoring device to report the message. Thus, under group control, the network monitoring device receives network protocol messages from different mesh devices at different times, successfully receiving messages from all mesh devices. This avoids the need to process network protocol messages from all mesh devices simultaneously, thereby improving mesh network performance. Under single-group control, however, this does not require simultaneous processing of network protocol messages from all mesh devices. In this case, mesh devices in the disclosed embodiments directly send network protocol messages to the network monitoring device for message reporting. The disclosed embodiments implement different message reporting strategies based on the actual network control type, avoiding the problem of poor network performance that can occur under group control.

[0058] Optionally, the Mesh device generates random numbers based on a linear congruential method, including:

[0059] The Mesh device obtains the Bluetooth address and random number byte threshold of the Mesh device.

[0060] When the number of bytes in the Bluetooth address is greater than or equal to the random number byte threshold, the Mesh device selects the byte in the low byte of the Bluetooth address that meets the random number byte threshold as the initialization random number.

[0061] If the number of bytes in the Bluetooth address is less than the random number byte threshold, the Mesh device pads the low-order bytes of the Bluetooth address with zeros according to the random number byte threshold, and then selects the byte in the low-order bytes of the Bluetooth address that meets the random number byte threshold as the initial random number.

[0062] The Mesh device inputs the initialization random number into the random algorithm to calculate the random number.

[0063] In this way, in order to generate a random number, the Mesh device in the embodiment of the present disclosure first obtains its Bluetooth address and the random number byte threshold. Then, when the number of bytes of the Bluetooth address is greater than or equal to the random number byte threshold, the byte in the low byte of the Bluetooth address that meets the random number byte threshold is selected as the initialization random number. When the number of bytes of the Bluetooth address is less than the random number byte threshold, the low byte of the Bluetooth address is padded with zeros according to the random number byte threshold and the byte in the low byte that meets the random number byte threshold is selected as the initialization random number. Finally, the Mesh device inputs the initialization random number into the random algorithm to calculate and obtain a random number. The embodiment of the present disclosure determines the initialization random number based on the Bluetooth address of the Mesh device, and can obtain a random number that is strongly correlated with the Bluetooth address, ensuring that different Mesh devices obtain differentiated random numbers.

[0064] As an example, the random number byte threshold is 4 bytes and the Bluetooth address is 6 bytes. Since the Bluetooth address is greater than or equal to the random number byte threshold, the Mesh device selects the lower 4 bytes of the Bluetooth address as the initial random number.

[0065] As another example, the random number byte threshold is 6 bytes, and the Bluetooth address is 4 bytes long. Since the Bluetooth address is smaller than the random number byte threshold, the Mesh device pads the low-order bytes of the Bluetooth address with zeros according to the random number byte threshold and then selects the low-order six bytes of the Bluetooth address as the initial random number.

[0066] It should be noted that the random byte threshold can be set based on actual scenarios. As an example, the random byte threshold is positively correlated with the total number of mesh devices in a BLE-Mesh network application scenario. For example, the larger the total number of mesh devices in an actual scenario, the larger the random byte threshold. The smaller the total number of mesh devices in an actual scenario, the smaller the random byte threshold.

[0067] Optionally, combined Figure 5 As shown, Mesh devices generate random numbers based on the linear congruential method, including:

[0068] S31, the Mesh device obtains the Bluetooth address and random number byte threshold of the Mesh device.

[0069] S32: When the number of bytes of the Bluetooth address is greater than or equal to the random number byte threshold, the Mesh device selects a byte in the low byte of the Bluetooth address that meets the random number byte threshold as the initialization random number.

[0070] S33, when the number of bytes of the Bluetooth address is less than the random number byte threshold, the Mesh device fills the low byte of the Bluetooth address with zeros according to the random number byte threshold, and selects the byte in the low byte of the Bluetooth address that meets the random number byte threshold as the initialization random number.

[0071] S34, the Mesh device inputs the initialization random number into the random algorithm to calculate the random number.

[0072] S35, after the Mesh device inputs the initialization random number into the random algorithm to calculate the random number, it selects the random number obtained by the previous calculation as the reference random number.

[0073] S36: The Mesh device inputs the reference random number into the random number algorithm to calculate a new random number. The initial random number represents the random number generated by the Mesh device during the first group control, and the last calculated random number represents the random number generated by the Mesh device based on the linear congruential method during the last group control before the current group control.

[0074] In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure not only obtains a random number that is strongly correlated with the Bluetooth address, but also further ensures that different Mesh devices obtain differentiated random numbers.

[0075] Optionally, when the timing duration matches the target queuing duration, the Mesh device sends a network protocol message to the network monitoring device, including:

[0076] When the timing duration matches the target queuing duration, the Mesh device obtains the queue waiting state.

[0077] When the queue waiting state indicates that there are historical protocol packets that have not been sent, the Mesh device overwrites the historical protocol packets based on the network protocol packets and then sends the network protocol packets to the network monitoring device.

[0078] When the queue waiting state indicates that the historical protocol message has been sent, the Mesh device sends the network protocol message to the network monitoring device.

[0079] In this way, when the timing duration matches the target queuing duration, it indicates that the time has come to send the network protocol message of the Mesh device. At this time, the Mesh device also obtains the queue waiting state. If the queue waiting state indicates that there are historical protocol messages that have not been sent, the network protocol message based on the network protocol is overwritten with the historical protocol message and then sent to the network monitoring device. If the queue waiting state indicates that the historical protocol message has been sent, the network protocol message is directly sent to the network monitoring device. The embodiment of the present disclosure can avoid the situation of processing the network protocol messages sent by all Mesh devices at the same time, which is beneficial to improving the network performance of the Mesh network. At the same time, the real-time reporting of the message is guaranteed.
