Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The technical solution of the present disclosure relates to the technical field of wireless communication testing, and particularly relates to a state determination apparatus and method, a testing system, a storage medium and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of wireless communication, there is a kind of mesh Internet of Things protocol, such as Zigbee (Zigbee Specification), Bluetooth Mesh (Bluetooth Mesh Networking Specification), Thread (Thread networking protocol), etc. The main feature of the mesh Internet of Things protocol is that all devices are combined into a network, and any two devices in the network can be connected and transmit messages, which is usually referred to as a many-to-many connection. For example, a user can control a large number of devices in the home to work simultaneously through the mesh Internet of Things protocol.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to ensure that the controlled devices can stably operate under the mesh Internet of Things protocol and other wireless communication technologies, the response of each device under wireless communication needs to be tested. However, the existing testing scheme still has the problem of low testing accuracy. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, the present disclosure provides a state determination apparatus and method, a testing system, a storage medium and an electronic device to solve the problem of low testing accuracy.

[0005] According to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a state determination apparatus is provided, and the state determination apparatus comprises:

[0006] a gateway electrically connected thereto, configured to transmit a preset test instruction to the gateway; the gateway is in communication connection with at least one controlled device, and is configured to transmit the test instruction to the at least one controlled device;

[0007] the at least one controlled device is electrically connected to the state determination apparatus, and is configured to acquire device state information of the at least one controlled device, and determine a response of the at least one controlled device to the test instruction based on the device state information.

[0008] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a testing system is provided, and the testing system comprises:

[0009] a state determination apparatus, a gateway electrically connected to the state determination apparatus, and at least one controlled device electrically connected to the state determination apparatus, wherein the gateway is in communication connection with the at least one controlled device;

[0010] The gateway is configured to receive the test instruction transmitted by the state determination apparatus and transmit the test instruction to at least one controlled device.

[0011] The state determination apparatus is configured to transmit a preset test instruction to the gateway, and acquire device state information of the at least one controlled device and determine a response of the at least one controlled device to the test instruction based on the device state information.

[0012] According to a third aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a state determination method is provided, and the method comprises:

[0013] In response to detecting electrical connection with a gateway, forwarding a preset test instruction to at least one controlled device through the gateway; the gateway is in communication connection with the at least one controlled device.

[0014] In response to detecting electrical connection with the at least one controlled device, acquiring device state information of the at least one controlled device.

[0015] Based on the device state information, determining a response of the at least one controlled device to the received test instruction.

[0016] According to a fourth aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, an electronic device is provided, and the electronic device comprises:

[0017] A processor;

[0018] A memory for storing processor-executable instructions;

[0019] The processor is configured to implement the steps of the state determination method of any one of the third aspect by running the executable instructions.

[0020] According to a fifth aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is provided, and the medium stores a computer program, which is executed by a processor to implement the steps of the state determination method of any one of the third aspect.

[0021] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can have the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The state determining apparatus is electrically connected with the gateway, and can transmit the preset test instruction to the gateway through electrical connection. Since the wired connection technology of electrical connection is relatively mature, the time for transmitting the test instruction to the gateway can be ignored. After receiving the test instruction, the gateway sends the test instruction to each controlled device, and this process needs to consume a certain amount of time. After receiving the test instruction and executing the test instruction, the controlled device changes the state, for example, from the on state to the off state. At this time, the state determining apparatus can obtain the device state information of the controlled device through electrical connection with at least one controlled device, and the time of electrical transmission can also be ignored.

[0023] It can be seen that only the connection mode between the gateway and the at least one controlled device is connected through the wireless communication of communication connection, and the connection modes of the others are electrical connection. Therefore, the response speed, response result and a series of response conditions of each controlled device to the test instruction can be tested more accurately according to the states of the controlled devices, so as to improve the test accuracy.

[0024] It should be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are only exemplary and explanatory, and cannot limit the present disclosure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0032] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. The description below refers to the accompanying drawings, which show, by way of example, specific embodiments with which this disclosure can be practiced. The following description, however, is not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure to one or more particular embodiments described. Rather, the following description is intended to describe the generic principles of the inventive subject matter as applied to the particular embodiments.

[0033] The terminology used in this disclosure is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this disclosure. As used in this disclosure and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0034] It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. can be used herein to describe various information, these terms are not intended to denote a temporal or chronological order. Rather, these terms are used only as a shorthand notation to first, second, third, etc. information. For example, a first information can also be termed a second information, and similarly, a second information can also be termed a first information, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Depending on the context, the word "if' as used herein can be interpreted to mean "when" or "in response to determining".

[0035] When each controlled device is communicatively connected with the gateway through wireless communication, it is tested before use, mainly to test whether the controlled device can successfully respond, the speed of the controlled device response, and whether each controlled device responds at the same time when a large number of controlled devices are controlled through such wireless communication.

[0036] The mesh Internet of Things protocol is a typical wireless communication protocol, and the following is described by taking the wireless communication as the mesh Internet of Things protocol as an example:

[0037] In a typical application scenario of controlling the controlled device through the mesh Internet of Things protocol, a large number of controlled devices (which can exceed 100) need to be controlled, and the positions of the 100 devices are different, so it is difficult to directly test a large number of controlled devices.

[0038] In the prior art, the testing is usually performed in the following manner:

[0039] After all the controlled devices receive the test instruction sent by the gateway, the state of the device is returned to the gateway through the wireless state return manner, and the gateway determines the response of the device (such as response time, whether the response is successful, etc.) according to the device state information returned by the controlled device.

[0040] The problem of this test scheme is:

[0041] 1. The control success rate test is not accurate: the so-called control success means that the gateway sends a test instruction and the controlled device responds, which is considered successful. The above scheme through wireless state feedback has a situation: the controlled device may have responded, but the gateway has not received it, so the gateway misjudges as control failure. The reason why the gateway has not received it is mainly due to the mesh Internet of Things protocol, which needs to control a large number of controlled devices. When multiple controlled devices feedback device state information through wireless state feedback, a large amount of device state information will interfere with each other, and wireless transmission is unstable, which will easily lead to wireless state feedback failure.

[0042] 2. The controlled device response time test is not accurate: the so-called response time setting means that the gateway sends a test instruction to the controlled device through the mesh Internet of Things protocol, and the time required for the controlled device to respond, but the time required for wireless state feedback should not be included. In the above scheme, the time required for wireless state feedback is calculated, so the final response time obtained is not accurate enough.

[0043] 3. A large number of wireless state feedback messages have a great influence on the performance of the entire mesh wireless networking protocol network, so as to affect the accuracy of the network performance test.

[0044] Therefore, a new state determination method is needed to solve the above problems, as follows:

[0045] Firstly, the present disclosure provides a test system, including the following two parts:

[0046] The gateway is electrically connected with the state determination device, receives the test instruction transmitted by the state determination device, and is in communication connection with at least one controlled device through the mesh Internet of Things protocol, and transmits the test instruction to the at least one controlled device through the Internet of Things protocol.

[0047] The state determination device is used for transmitting a preset test instruction to the gateway, and is electrically connected with at least one controlled device, for acquiring device state information of the at least one controlled device, and determining a response of the at least one controlled device to the test instruction based on the device state information.

[0048] Figure 1 is a system framework diagram of a test system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 1 shown, the test system includes a state determination device 101 and a gateway 102.

[0049] The state determining apparatus 101 and each of the at least one controlled device (controlled device 1, controlled device 2, and controlled device 3) are connected by wires, and the gateway 102 and each of the at least one controlled device are connected by wireless communication (for example, a mesh Internet of Things protocol, which will be described in detail below).

[0050] The test instruction is an instruction for controlling the controlled device to perform a specific action, such as turning on the controlled device, turning off the controlled device, periodically operating the controlled device, adjusting the operating power of the controlled device, and the like. The test instruction can be preset or generated by a user in the state determining apparatus, so as to specify the content and generation time of the test instruction and improve the flexibility of the test. Then, the state determining apparatus 101 transmits the test instruction to the gateway 102.

[0051] The gateway 102 can communicate with each of the at least one controlled device by the mesh Internet of Things protocol, so as to transmit the test instruction to at least one of the at least one controlled device (for example, the controlled device 1 and the controlled device 2), thereby achieving simultaneous control of a large number of controlled devices in the mesh Internet of Things protocol.

[0052] After that, if the at least one controlled device (for example, the controlled device 1 and the controlled device 2) successfully receives the test instruction by the mesh Internet of Things protocol, each of the controlled devices will perform corresponding operations in response to the test instruction, which will affect the device state of the controlled device. Therefore, the state determining apparatus obtains the device state information of the controlled device through the electrical connection between the state determining apparatus and the at least one controlled device, so as to determine the response of the at least one controlled device to the test instruction based on the device state information. Finally, since the response of the at least one controlled device to the test instruction can indicate the response speed, the response result, the response consistency of each controlled device, and a series of results, the test of the mesh Internet of Things protocol can be completed.

[0053] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a state determining apparatus, which comprises:

[0054] The state determining apparatus is electrically connected with a gateway, for transmitting a preset test instruction to the gateway; the gateway is communicatively connected with at least one controlled device, for transmitting the test instruction to the at least one controlled device; and the state determining apparatus is electrically connected with the at least one controlled device, for obtaining device state information of the at least one controlled device and determining a response of the at least one controlled device to the test instruction based on the device state information.

[0055] The state determination apparatus is also Figure 1 101 in the above description.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, Figure 2 is a framework diagram of a state determination apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 2 shown, the state determination apparatus 101 comprises:

[0057] An electronic device 201 electrically connected with the gateway 102, and a transmission device 202 electrically connected with the electronic device 201.

[0058] The transmission device 202 is electrically connected with the at least one controlled device 103, for acquiring device state information of the at least one controlled device 103, and transmitting the device state information to the electronic device 201.

[0059] The electronic device 201 is configured to transmit a preset test instruction to the gateway 102, and acquire the device state information transmitted by the transmission device 202, and determine a response of the at least one controlled device 103 to the test instruction based on the device state information.

[0060] The electronic device includes but is not limited to a computer, a mobile phone, a tablet computer and other electronic devices with a preset transmission test instruction capability, and the present disclosure does not limit the specific form of the electronic device.

[0061] Optionally, Figure 3 is another framework diagram of a state determination apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 3 shown, the transmission device 202 comprises an electronic device 201, a second port expander 301 and a first port expander 302. Specifically,

[0062] At least one first port expander 302 for electrically connecting with the at least one controlled device 103, and a second port expander 301 for electrically connecting with the at least one first port expander 302; the second port expander 301 is electrically connected with the electronic device 201.

[0063] Each of the first port expanders (any of the first port expanders in 302) is configured to electrically connect with at least one of the controlled devices (any of the controlled devices in 1-6), and acquire device state information of the at least one controlled device based on the electrical connection relationship; the second port expander 301 is configured to electrically connect with each of the first port expanders, and transmit the device state information of the controlled devices transmitted by the first port expanders to the electronic device 201.

[0064] For example, assuming that a first port expander has 10 connection ports and can connect to 10 controlled devices, then 10 first port expanders can connect to 100 controlled devices. Furthermore, assuming that a second port expander has 10 connection ports, then 1 second port expander can connect to 10 first port expanders, and further, through the 10 first port expanders, connect to 100 controlled devices.

[0065] Figure 4 is a framework diagram of another state determination device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second port expander 301 is electrically connected to 10 first port expanders (3020-3029), each first port expander is electrically connected to 10 controlled devices, and a total of 100 controlled devices (numbered 1-100) are connected.

[0066] First, let me explain GPIO (General Purpose Input Output); UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter).

[0067] Optionally, the first port expander includes: a general purpose input / output hub (GPIO HUB, a device for expanding and managing GPIO interface resources), and / or a universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter hub (UART HUB, a device for serial communication that can centrally manage multiple UART interfaces and provide expansion functions). In a more preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the first port expander is the general purpose input / output hub, and the general purpose input / output hub is used to generate a signal to be transmitted to the second port expander when a pulse of the controlled device is detected; the pulse is generated after the controlled device successfully executes the test instruction. In this way, the GPIO pulse generated after the controlled device executes the test instruction can be directly obtained through the GPIO HUB, and automatically converted into a UART message by the chip in the GPIO HUB and collected by the UART HUB.

[0068] The second port expander includes a universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter hub (UART HUB).

[0069] This two-layer connection structure solves the problem that the UART HUB itself does not support connecting a large number of controlled devices, but a large number of controlled devices need to be connected during the mesh IoT protocol test.

[0070] The apparatus embodiments described above are merely illustrative, wherein the units described above as separate components can or can not be physically separate, and the components shown as units can or can not be physical units, i.e., can be located in one place or distributed on multiple network units. Part or all of the modules can be selected to achieve the purposes of the present disclosure according to actual needs. Those skilled in the art can understand and implement without creative labor.

[0071] Correspondingly, the present disclosure also provides a state determination method, Figure 5 is a flowchart of a state determination method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied in the state determination apparatus of the test system as described above, such as Figure 5 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0072] Step 501, in response to detecting electrical connection with the gateway, forwarding a preset test instruction to at least one controlled device through the gateway; the gateway and the at least one controlled device are connected through a mesh Internet of Things protocol.

[0073] The method of the present disclosure is applied in the state determination apparatus of the test system as described in the foregoing embodiments. When transmitting the test instruction, the state determination apparatus will record the time of transmitting the test instruction and the specific content of the test instruction. Then, the test instruction will be forwarded to at least one controlled device through the gateway.

[0074] Step 502, in response to detecting electrical connection with the at least one controlled device, obtaining device state information of the at least one controlled device.

[0075] Since electrical connection transmits information faster, the time required to obtain the device state information fed back by the controlled device through electrical connection can be ignored.

[0076] Step 503, determining the response of the at least one controlled device to the received test instruction based on the device state information.

[0077] Here, determining the response of the at least one controlled device to the received test instruction comprises at least one of the following schemes:

[0078] Scheme one, determining the response result of the at least one controlled device to the received test instruction; the response result indicates whether the response is successful.

[0079] In a feasible embodiment, whether the response is successful can be determined in the following manner:

[0080] For each of the controlled devices, in response to obtaining the device state information of the controlled device, it is determined that the controlled device responds successfully; the device state information is generated after the controlled device successfully executes the test instruction; in response to not obtaining the device state information of the controlled device, it is determined that the controlled device responds unsuccessfully.

[0081] In the embodiment, the test system is connected in the manner of Figure 3 In this way, the first port expander 302 is a GPIO HUB, and the second port expander 301 is a UART HUB.

[0082] In this way, when the controlled device receives the test instruction under the mesh Internet of Things protocol, if the test instruction is successfully executed, a GPIO pulse is generated; otherwise, no GPIO pulse is generated. In this way, the GPIO pulse generated by the controlled device is captured by the GPIO HUB, and is then converted into a UART message and transmitted to the second port expander 301.

[0083] At this time, for the state determination apparatus, if the device state information is obtained, it indicates that the controlled device responds successfully; if the device state information is not obtained, it indicates that the controlled device responds unsuccessfully. This scheme for determining whether the controlled device responds successfully is more simple and fast.

[0084] Scheme II, determining the response speed of at least one controlled device to the received test instruction.

[0085] For each of the controlled devices, the first time and the second time are determined; the first time is the time when the preset test instruction is transmitted to the gateway, and the second time is the time when the device state information of the controlled device is obtained; based on the difference between the first time and the second time, the response speed of the controlled device is determined.

[0086] When the state determination apparatus transmits the preset test instruction, the time of transmitting the test instruction is recorded. Then, the state determination apparatus immediately transmits the generated test instruction to the gateway through electrical connection. Since the electrical connection is a relatively mature wired connection, the time of transmitting the test instruction to the gateway through electrical connection can be ignored, and thus the time of transmitting the test instruction can be taken as the first time, that is, the time when the test instruction is transmitted to the gateway.

[0087] Afterwards, the gateway transmits the test instruction to the controlled device through the mesh IoT protocol, so that the time for transmitting the test instruction through the mesh IoT protocol can be tested. After the controlled device receives the test instruction, the controlled device will respond and change its device state, at this time, the state determining apparatus can obtain the device state information of the controlled device through the electrical connection relationship, that is, the second moment, and the time required for the process of obtaining the device state information of the controlled device can be ignored, so the second moment is actually the moment when the controlled device successfully responds to the test instruction.

[0088] At this time, the difference between the first moment and the second moment is taken as the time required for the controlled device to receive and respond to the test instruction, so that the response speed can be determined.

[0089] Scheme three, determining the response time difference of any two controlled devices to the received test instruction.

[0090] Obtaining the device state information of at least two controlled devices; determining the second moment of each of the controlled devices for any two of the controlled devices; the first moment of the any two controlled devices is the same, the first moment is the moment when the preset test instruction is transmitted to the gateway, and the second moment is the moment when the device state information of the controlled device is obtained; based on the difference between the second moments of the any two controlled devices, the response time difference between the controlled devices is determined.

[0091] Suppose the gateway transmits test instructions to controlled device one and controlled device two at the same time, at this time, the first moment is assumed to be the 0th second, the response speed of the controlled device one is 20s, and the response speed of the controlled device two is 21s, then the second moment of the controlled device one is the 20th second, and the second moment of the controlled device two is the 21st second. Then the response time difference between the controlled device one and the controlled device two is 1s.

[0092] In this way, the response consistency of each controlled device under the mesh IoT protocol can be tested, that is, whether the controlled devices can respond at the same time.

[0093] In any of the above method embodiments, the above method is applied to an electronic device in a state determining apparatus. The response to the electrical connection with the at least one controlled device obtains the device state information of the at least one controlled device, comprising:

[0094] In response to the electrical connection with the transmission device in the state determining apparatus, the device state information of at least one controlled device transmitted by the transmission device is obtained; the transmission device is electrically connected with the at least one controlled device, and is used to obtain the device state information of each of the controlled devices.

[0095] The electronic device, the transmission device, and the state determination device are arranged according to any one of the foregoing states.

[0096] For the foregoing method embodiments, for the sake of simplicity, they are described as a series of action combinations, but those skilled in the art should know that the present disclosure is not limited by the order of the described actions, because according to the present disclosure, certain steps can be performed in other orders or at the same time.

[0097] Secondly, those skilled in the art should know that the embodiments described in the specification are all optional embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily required by the present disclosure.
