[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0042] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an agent system according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0043] As Figure 1 shown, the agent system provided by the present embodiment includes an agent host 100 and one or more agent access devices 200 connected to the agent host. The agent host is configured with an agent management system, and the agent access system is configured with an access device management system.

[0044] When a user issues a configuration request through the intelligent agent management system, the intelligent agent host generates one or more intelligent agents based on the user's configuration request. When the user issues a connection request to the intelligent agent, the intelligent agent issues an information acquisition instruction to one or more intelligent agent access devices based on the user's connection request, at which time the intelligent agent access device issues an intelligent agent instruction to the intelligent agent, so that the intelligent agent acquires the intelligent agent instruction of the corresponding intelligent agent access device. The intelligent agent instruction refers to an instruction or operation that the intelligent agent access device can directly execute.

[0045] In addition, the intelligent agent is also used to send a device control instruction to the intelligent agent access device matched therewith based on the device operation request and the intelligent agent instruction when receiving a device operation request of a user, so that the intelligent agent access device performs the operation required by the user.

[0046] The connection mode between the intelligent agent host and the intelligent agent access device can be a wired direct connection mode, a network mode or a wireless communication mode.

[0047] (1) In the wired direct connection mode, the intelligent agent in the intelligent agent system communicates with the intelligent agent access device in the form of a wire. There are many such forms, such as typec wire, usb wire, micro usb, etc. Different wire harnesses only have different interfaces, but their goals are the same. Now take the typec wire harness as an example:

[0048] 1. The intelligent agent and the intelligent agent access device both support typec and have physical pins and supported communication protocols, such as USB protocol. The intelligent agent is the master device and the intelligent agent access device is the slave device for communication.

[0049] 2. The communication between the intelligent agent and the intelligent agent access device mainly follows the following process, which lets the intelligent agent know what the intelligent agent access device is and what the functions of the intelligent agent access device are. After the intelligent agent knows the functions of the intelligent agent access device, it can issue instructions to the intelligent agent access device:

[0050] i. Insert the typec wire into the intelligent agent and the intelligent agent device. The CC pin (configuration channel) in the wire will first detect the connection.

[0051] ii. The intelligent agent sends a pd protocol message through the cc wire to negotiate the device role. The intelligent agent is the DFP (downstream port) and the intelligent agent access device is the UFP (upstream port).

[0052] iii. The intelligent agent sends an enumeration command through (D+ / D- or TX / RX) to query the device type of the intelligent agent access device.

[0053] iv. The intelligent agent access device returns a device descriptor (including manufacturer ID, product ID, intelligent agent instruction obtaining method such as getFun, etc.).

[0054] v. The intelligent agent sends a getFun instruction to the intelligent agent access device through a usb protocol serial port, and the intelligent agent access device returns an intelligent agent instruction.

[0055] vi. The intelligent agent communicates instructions to the intelligent agent access device through the usb protocol according to the intelligent agent instruction obtained in the previous step.

[0056] (II) In a network mode, the network mode can be a wired network or a wireless network. There are many communication link redundancy strategy methods on the network, and the target is whether the intelligent agent IP address can access the intelligent agent access device IP address.

[0057] 1. First, the intelligent agent and the intelligent agent access device are configured and bound with corresponding IP addresses by the system when they are first accessed, including local area network IP address and 4G / 5G / IP address.

[0058] 2. The intelligent agent and the intelligent agent access device judge whether the link is normal through a heartbeat packet.

[0059] 3. When a network fails, such as a wired / wireless network that cannot detect a heartbeat packet, the intelligent agent automatically switches to a 4G / 5G network for communication.

[0060] 4. After the intelligent agent device accesses the network, it sends a registration request to the intelligent agent system, including the intelligent agent device function and the corresponding intelligent agent instruction. When the user binds the intelligent agent and the intelligent agent device on the intelligent agent system, the user can send instructions to the intelligent agent device through the intelligent agent.

[0061] (III) The wireless communication mode can use Bluetooth. There are mainly two kinds of Bluetooth communication, one is classic Bluetooth, and the other is low-power Bluetooth. In the Bluetooth mode, due to the length limitation of the broadcast content, the intelligent agent access device first covers the intelligent agent instruction method in the broadcast, such as getFun. After the intelligent agent and the intelligent agent device are connected, the intelligent agent can send an intelligent agent instruction getFun to the intelligent agent access device through the intelligent agent instruction method getFun obtained in the broadcast. The intelligent agent access device returns an intelligent agent instruction after receiving the getFun string.

[0062] 1. Classic Bluetooth:

[0063] i. First, the intelligent agent and the intelligent agent access device both need to have corresponding classic Bluetooth modules.

[0064] ii、Smartbody is configured as master device, and smartbody access device is configured as slave device.

[0065] iii、Smartbody access device broadcasts, periodically sends broadcast packet, contains device name, UUID (unique identifier) and service information and smartbody instruction obtaining method, etc.

[0066] iv、Smartbody scans broadcast packet, after parsing the UUID and address of smartbody device, sends connection request.

[0067] v、Smartbody access device responds to connection, both sides negotiate connection parameters, including transmission rate, timeout time, etc.

[0068] vi、Data transmission stage, smartbody sends getFun through SPP protocol, and smartbody access device returns all operation modes.

[0069] vii、Smartbody sends operation instruction to smartbody access device through Bluetooth.

[0070] 2、Low-power BLE Bluetooth:

[0071] i、First, smartbody and smartbody device have corresponding low-power Bluetooth module.

[0072] ii.、Smartbody is configured as master, and smartbody access device is configured as slave, through core protocol GAP (general access profile) to define device discovery, connection establishment process; through GATT (general attribute profile) to define data transmission format (such as service, characteristic value).

[0073] iii、Smartbody access device broadcasts, periodically sends broadcast packet, contains device name, UUID (unique identifier) and service information and smartbody instruction obtaining method characteristic value (getFun).

[0074] iv、Smartbody scans broadcast packet, after parsing the UUID and address of smartbody device, sends connection request.

[0075] v、Smartbody access device responds to connection, both sides negotiate connection parameters, including transmission rate, timeout time, etc.

[0076] vi、Data transmission stage (GATT layer) smartbody gets smartbody instruction through smartbody instruction obtaining method characteristic value getFun.

[0077] vii、Smartbody sends smartbody instruction to smartbody access device through Bluetooth, realizes communication between the two.

[0078] Smartbody instruction refers to the instruction of smartbody operating smartbody access device according to unified function description.

[0079] The agent instruction obtaining method refers to a method in which the agent access device provides the agent with an agent query agent instruction, such as returning an agent instruction as long as the agent receives the getFun instruction or string. The agent instruction has a large data volume and contains a unified function description string.

[0080] The application constructs a hierarchical response mechanism, in which emergency function declaration (such as device fault alarm) is preferentially transmitted by using a low-delay communication protocol (such as 5G URLLC, WebSocket); and regular function information is temporarily stored by an edge cache node and then reported in batches to reduce network load. A communication link redundancy strategy is deployed, combined with wired (optical fiber, TYPE-C, USB, etc.) and wireless (4G / 5G) dual-channel automatic switching, and a local instruction cache queue is set at the access device end to ensure that the received instructions can still be executed when the network is interrupted, thereby guaranteeing system reliability.

[0081] The application proposes a function declaration and instruction format standardization.

[0082] In view of the differences in function description and instruction format of devices of different manufacturers, the application provides a translation service, and the agent can obtain a unified function description according to a specified translation method, so as to standardize the parameter type, interface definition and data format of the device function declaration. The translation service is realized by using an intelligent instruction translation engine, the engine supports dynamic loading of protocol conversion plug-ins, realizes automatic conversion of function declaration information to device executable instructions, ensures accurate matching of the agent instruction and the access device function, and avoids instruction execution errors.

[0083] The application also provides security authentication and permission management.

[0084] Dynamic access of the agent access device sometimes brings security risks, and therefore a bidirectional authentication and permission control system needs to be constructed. In the application, the agent and the agent access device complete identity verification through digital certificate and dynamic key exchange to prevent illegal device access; a hierarchical permission strategy is set based on the sensitivity of the device function, for example, low-permission devices are limited to report state information, and high-permission devices can receive control instructions; end-to-end encryption such as AES-256+TLS1.3 is used for function declaration and instruction transmission, so as to prevent data leakage and malicious tampering.

[0085] The application also provides multi-device function conflict and cooperation management.

[0086] When multiple intelligent agents access devices and report functions simultaneously, conflicts or duplications may occur. The intelligent agents in this application are equipped with an intelligent conflict detection algorithm, which determines conflicts through function uniqueness identifiers and priority tags, automatically merges duplicate functions or coordinates the function call order; and establishes a device collaborative task orchestration mechanism, which generates multi-device collaborative control strategies based on functional relevance and execution timing requirements, ensuring orderly device collaboration in complex task scenarios and avoiding control chaos.

[0087] Before issuing a command, the agent first obtains the status of the device it is connected to. Commands can only be issued in the specified status. The statuses in which commands can be issued can be found in the device's operation manual, which tells the agent which statuses are acceptable for receiving commands.

[0088] When the agent receives multiple instructions, it executes the instructions as follows:

[0089] a) Cache instruction lists in sequence.

[0090] b) Query the device status. When the device responds with an executable instruction, send the instructions in sequence. Before sending the instruction, check the logic rationality. If it is not rational, do not execute it and switch to the next one. This intelligent agent can make its own judgment based on the device design logic and the instruction conflicts summarized from engineering practice.

[0091] c) If users with the same permissions issue commands, the command with the higher priority will be executed first. This is specifically addressed in the device's priority management system. This involves prioritizing commands based on user descriptions, or clearing previous commands.

[0092] d) If the agent receives an instruction from the user with the highest privileges, requesting the instruction "hold," then the agent will only accept instructions from users with high privileges and will switch to the "hold" instruction, refusing to accept instructions from other users with the same or lower privileges. This will only be lifted if a user with the same privileges requests the "hold" instruction.

[0093] e) Once the hold instruction is released, the agent can receive other user instructions again and continue executing instructions according to the logic described above.

[0094] The intelligent agent host in this application is configured with an intelligent agent management system. The intelligent agent management system is used to manage users, manage the intelligent agent host, manage intelligent agents, and manage intelligent agent access devices. Specifically, it includes an intelligent agent user management module, an intelligent agent service management module, an intelligent agent management module, an intelligent agent access device management module, and an authorization management module.

[0095] The intelligent agent user management module is a user module for managing the intelligent agent system, and a module for managing the role definition of other users in the intelligent agent system. Different roles have different authorizations for intelligent agents. For example, when any user interacts with an intelligent agent, the intelligent agent administrator user can have more permissions to make the intelligent agent do corresponding transactions, while tourists or other users can only request the intelligent agent to do limited transactions.

[0096] The intelligent agent service management module is used to implement creation registration, function query, service configuration, function debugging, and direct instruction of intelligent agent services. Intelligent agent services include but are not limited to (voice recognition service, image recognition service, streaming media recognition service, voice output service, data output service, etc. These services can be services built on a local host, or services provided by a service provider on the Internet.

[0097] The intelligent agent service management system is used to register and manage intelligent agent service providers when there is no local intelligent agent or no specified intelligent agent function. Intelligent agent service providers are professional platforms that provide services for intelligent agent needs. Because intelligent agents require a large amount of computing power support, sometimes ordinary devices cannot be effectively integrated and deployed, and intelligent agent service providers can implement intelligent agent functions through interface services over the Internet.

[0098] The intelligent agent management module is used to implement creation registration, intelligent agent information management, intelligent agent knowledge base management, intelligent agent learning management, intelligent agent hardware data management, intelligent agent hardware binding, intelligent agent service binding, intelligent agent function debugging, and intelligent agent instruction direct issuance.

[0099] The intelligent agent access device management module is used to implement registration binding, communication mode setting, and instruction query of specific access device functions of intelligent agent access devices.

[0100] The authorization management module is used to authorize intelligent agents to manage the permissions of bound intelligent agents and intelligent agent access devices, such as allowing only specific intelligent agents to perform higher-level operations on specific intelligent agent access devices.

[0101] The intelligent agent in the present application is configured with an access device management system, which is used to manage intelligent agent access devices. The core functions include but are not limited to intelligent agent management, hardware state management, and state management. The system specifically includes an intelligent agent management module, a hardware setting module, and a hardware state module.

[0102] The intelligent agent management module is used to manage the bound intelligent agent access devices. This includes but is not limited to forcibly canceling the binding of intelligent agents. By forcibly canceling the binding, users can achieve the function of going offline on the intelligent agent access device, such as emergency shutdown, without the need for instructions from the intelligent agent.

[0103] The hardware setting module is used for setting hardware, including but not limited to setting communication keys and encryption certificates, etc.

[0104] The hardware state module is used for viewing the state of the hardware state, function debugging, etc.

[0105] From the above technical solution, it can be seen that the embodiment provides an agent system, which comprises an agent host and at least one agent access device connected with the agent host. The agent host is used to generate at least one agent based on the configuration request of the user; the agent is used to receive the connection request of the user, issue an information acquisition instruction to the agent access device, and receive the agent instruction fed back by the agent access device based on the information acquisition instruction; the agent is also used to receive the device operation request of the user, and send a device control instruction to the agent access device based on the device operation request and the agent instruction, so that the agent access device executes the operation required by the user. The agent access device in the application can realize plug and play and dynamic expansion of functions, and when the system needs to expand functions, new agent access devices can be accessed without manual intervention, and the device functions are automatically adapted; when the device is upgraded or replaced, the function description file of the agent access device only needs to be updated to complete the adaptation, thereby reducing the system maintenance cost and difficulty.

[0106] Based on the above technical solution, the present application proposes the following specific implementation mode, in order to further elaborate the scheme of the present application. This embodiment takes a smart factory as an example for illustration. In the production equipment management scene of the smart factory, in the traditional mode, the main control PLC needs to be programmed to set the control logic of each device in advance, and if new devices are added or the production process is adjusted, the program needs to be modified during shutdown, which has poor flexibility. However, by adopting the decoupling scheme of the agent and the agent access device, the problem can be effectively solved, and dynamic management and efficient collaboration of the device can be realized.

[0107] I. Device role definition

[0108] 1.1 The agent host adopts an industrial-grade edge computing server, which is deployed in the control center of the factory workshop. The server has powerful data analysis and logic processing capability, built-in machine learning algorithm and production scheduling strategy model, and is responsible for generating device control instructions according to production task requirements, and monitoring and optimizing the entire production process.

[0109] 1.2 The agent access device in this scene includes multiple types:

[0110] · Numerical control machine tool access device: installed on a numerical control machine tool, with a built-in communication module and a function description module, responsible for reporting the machining capacity of the machine tool (such as maximum machining size, speed range, supported machining process, etc.) and real-time running state (such as current machining progress, tool wear condition) to the agent.

[0111] • AGV vehicle access device: Integrated on the AGV vehicle, it can declare its transportation capacity (such as maximum load capacity, driving speed, path planning function) to the intelligent agent, and provide feedback on location information and task execution status.

[0112] • Material detection sensor access equipment: Deployed on the material conveying line, it can inform the intelligent agent of its detection functions (such as size detection accuracy and defect identification type) and upload detection data in real time.

[0113] II. Equipment Coordination Workflow

[0114] 2.1 Feature Discovery Phase

[0115] Once the CNC machine tool is connected to the factory network, its intelligent agent access device sends a JSON-formatted function description file to the intelligent agent via the factory's internal industrial Ethernet. The content is as follows:

[0116] TypeScript

[0117] {

[0118] "device_id":"CNC_001",

[0119] "device_type":"CNC machine tool",

[0120] "functions":[

[0121] {

[0122] "function_name":"Milling processing",

[0123] "parameters":{

[0124] "max_speed":10000,

[0125] "min_depth":0.1,

[0126] "max_depth":10

[0127] }

[0128] },

[0129] {

[0130] "function_name":"Drilling Process",

[0131] "parameters":{

[0132] "max_diameter":50,

[0133] "min_diameter": 1

[0134] }

[0135] } ]

[0137] }

[0138] After receiving the file, the agent parses the content and registers the function information of the CNC machine tool in the system, establishing a device function archive.

[0139] 2.2 Instruction generation and execution phase.

[0140] When the factory issues a new production task (such as producing 100 parts), the agent decomposes the task and generates instructions based on the production task requirements and the registered device functions:

[0141] 1. Task allocation: the agent analyzes the part machining process and finds that two processes of milling and drilling are needed. Through algorithm evaluation of the load and processing capacity of each CNC machine tool, the milling task is allocated to "CNC_001" and the drilling task is allocated to "CNC_002"; at the same time, AGV trolley is scheduled for material transportation.

[0142] 2. Instruction sending: the agent sends milling machining instructions to the access device of "CNC_001", which contains machining parameters (such as cutting speed, feed rate, machining path); sends transportation instructions to the access device of AGV trolley, specifying the pickup and delivery location.

[0143] 3. Instruction execution: after receiving the instructions, the access device parses and converts them into device executable control signals to drive the CNC machine tool and AGV trolley to execute the task.

[0144] 2.3 State feedback and optimization phase.

[0145] During the operation of the device, the agent access device collects device state data in real time and feeds back to the agent:

[0146] · CNC machine tool access device: upload current machining progress, tool temperature, etc. every 1 minute, if tool wear exceeds the standard, send alarm information immediately.

[0147] · AGV trolley access device: real-time reporting of position information and running state, if path is blocked, actively apply for re-planning path.

[0148] After receiving the feedback data, the agent analyzes it using machine learning algorithms, and if it finds that a certain device is inefficient, it dynamically adjusts the task allocation strategy and reallocates the processing task to ensure efficient operation of the entire production process.

[0149] As can be seen from the above embodiments, in the smart factory scenario, the agent and agent access device decoupling scheme realizes dynamic discovery of device functions, intelligent generation and execution of instructions, and real-time optimization of production processes, significantly improving the flexibility and intelligent level of factory production compared with the traditional master control architecture.

[0150] It should be noted that the present application involves user information and related data. When the embodiments of the present application are applied to specific products or technologies, user permission authorization or consent is required, and the collection, use, and processing of related data must comply with relevant national and regional laws, regulations, and standards.

[0151] Through the agent management system and the agent access device system, the agent and the agent access device can be separated, thereby reducing the research and development cost, and allowing different types of companies or enterprises to focus on developing agents or developing agent hardware without the need to combine them.

[0152] From the user's perspective, after separation, the product can be more diversified, and different agents and agent access devices only need to be bound and authorized to experience new functions or more optimized functions.

[0153] Figure 2 A flowchart of an access control method according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0154] As Figure 2 shown, the access control method in the present embodiment is applied to the agent system of the above embodiments, specifically to the agent host in the system. The access control method specifically includes the following steps:

[0155] S1, generating one or more agents according to the user's configuration request.

[0156] That is, when the user inputs a configuration request to the agent host, one or more agents are generated based on the number required by the request. The agent here is a local agent or an agent service provider.

[0157] S2, performing initialization operation on the agent access device.

[0158] That is, when receiving the user's initialization request or the agent access device is accessed to the system, performing initialization operation on the agent access device based on the initialization request or automatically, so that its state is suitable for binding with the agent and can perform operation based on the instruction of the agent.

[0159] S3, binding the agent and the agent access device.

[0160] When the user issues a binding request, if there are multiple intelligent agents, one intelligent agent is selected according to the request, and the selected intelligent agent is bound to the intelligent agent access device. The binding here includes operations such as uploading of instructions and function authorization.

[0161] Through the above operations, the access and binding between the intelligent agent and the intelligent agent access device can be realized.

[0162] In another specific embodiment of the present application, the following steps are further included, as shown in Figure 3

[0163] S4, function authorization management processing is performed on the intelligent agent.
