Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] This invention provides a communication device port and connector pairing system, which solves the problem that existing optical fiber ports and optical fiber connectors use contact connection to achieve electrical connection pairing. The contact connection method has high requirements for the alignment and plugging design of optical fiber connectors and optical fiber ports, and the contacts are prone to oxidation, corrosion or bending deformation, resulting in insufficient connection reliability.

[0021] See Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a communication device port and connector pairing system, including: an information reading and writing device, an excitation electronic tag, and a detection electronic tag. The information reading and writing device can be a radio frequency (RFID) reader, which can be integrated into the terminal device or interact with the terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone) via a USB data cable, Bluetooth, or other interfaces. Correspondingly, the excitation electronic tag and the detection electronic tag can be RFID-based electronic tags.

[0022] The excitation electronic tag and the detection electronic tag are respectively used to be installed on the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic port or the fiber optic port and the fiber optic connector.

[0023] When the fiber optic connector is plugged into the fiber optic port, the excitation electronic tag and the detection electronic tag are paired in a non-contact manner.

[0024] The excitation electronic tag is used to transmit an excitation signal in response to the pairing command of the information reading and writing device.

[0025] The detection electronic tag is used to receive an excitation signal, generate information indicating that the excitation signal has been received, and to send the information indicating that the excitation signal has been received to the information reading and writing device in response to the query command of the information reading and writing device.

[0026] The communication device port and connector pairing system in this embodiment of the invention can achieve pairing of excitation electronic tags and detection electronic tags in a non-contact manner. When the excitation electronic tag and detection electronic tag are respectively used on the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic port or the fiber optic port and the fiber optic connector, the pairing of the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic port can be achieved in a non-contact manner, no longer relying on contact connection for connection and pairing. This reduces the requirements for the alignment and plugging design of the fiber optic port and the fiber optic connector, and improves the application reliability of the fiber optic port and the fiber optic connector.

[0027] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, the excitation electronic tag and the detection electronic tag are paired in an electromagnetic coupling manner.

[0028] Specifically, see Figure 2As shown, the excitation electronic tag includes a first antenna, a first tag chip, and an electromagnetic excitation circuit, wherein the first tag chip is connected to the first antenna and the electromagnetic excitation circuit.

[0029] The detection electronic tag includes a second antenna, a second tag chip, and an electromagnetic detection circuit. The second tag chip is connected to the second antenna terminal and the electromagnetic detection circuit.

[0030] When the fiber optic connector is plugged into the fiber optic port, the electromagnetic excitation circuit and the electromagnetic detection circuit are paired in an electromagnetic coupling manner.

[0031] The excitation electronic tag is used to transmit an excitation signal through the electromagnetic excitation circuit in response to the pairing command of the information reading and writing device.

[0032] The detection electronic tag is used to receive excitation signals through the electromagnetic detection circuit and generate information indicating that an excitation signal has been received.

[0033] See Figure 2 As shown, the excitation electronic tag mainly consists of a first antenna, an RFID-based first tag chip, and an electromagnetic excitation circuit. This electromagnetic excitation circuit can be a voltage-controlled oscillator circuit or an LC resonant circuit. The detection electronic tag mainly consists of a second antenna, an RFID-based second tag chip, and an electromagnetic detection circuit. The electromagnetic detection circuit can also be a voltage-controlled oscillator circuit or an LC resonant circuit.

[0034] Taking an electromagnetic excitation circuit using an LC oscillation circuit and an electromagnetic detection circuit using an LC oscillation circuit as an example, when the first tag chip receives a pairing command from the information reading and writing device through the first antenna, the first tag chip generates an excitation signal of a constant voltage or a set of pulse wave signals. This excitation signal is coupled into space through the transmitting coil L1 of the LC resonant circuit (including capacitor C1 and transmitting coil L1) of the electromagnetic excitation circuit. Correspondingly, the LC oscillation circuit (including capacitor C2 and receiving coil L2) of the electromagnetic detection circuit for detecting the electronic tag detects the excitation signal of the electronic tag through the receiving coil L2. The excitation signal is then processed by the rectifier and filter circuit (including diode D1, capacitor C3, resistor R1 and diode D2) of the electromagnetic detection circuit and converted into a DC level signal. The second tag chip for detecting the electronic tag determines that it has received the excitation signal of the electronic tag based on the detected DC level signal value and generates information indicating that the excitation signal has been received, storing it in its own memory. When the information reading and writing device sends a query command, the second tag chip for detecting the electronic tag sends the information indicating that the excitation signal has been received to the information reading and writing device through the second antenna.

[0035] The embodiments of the present invention can achieve non-contact pairing of excitation electronic tags and detection electronic tags through the above-described electromagnetic coupling method. When the excitation electronic tag and the detection electronic tag are respectively used on the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic port or the fiber optic port and the fiber optic connector, the pairing of the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic port can be achieved in a non-contact manner, no longer relying on the contact connection method, reducing the requirements for the alignment and plugging design of the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic port, and improving the application reliability of the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic port. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the transmitting coil for activating the electronic tag and the receiving coil for detecting the electronic tag, respectively located on the fiber optic port and the fiber optic connector.

[0036] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, the excitation electronic tag and the detection electronic tag are paired in an optocoupler manner.

[0037] Specifically, see Figure 4 As shown, the excitation electronic tag includes a first antenna, a first tag chip, and an optical excitation circuit, wherein the first tag chip is connected to the first antenna and the optical excitation circuit. The detection electronic tag includes a second antenna, a second tag chip, and a photodetector circuit, wherein the second tag chip is connected to the second antenna terminal and the photodetector circuit. When the fiber optic connector is plugged into the fiber optic port, the optical excitation circuit and the photoelectric detection circuit are paired in a photoelectric coupling manner. The excitation electronic tag is used to transmit an excitation signal through the optical excitation circuit in response to the pairing command of the information reading and writing device; The detection electronic tag is used to receive excitation signals through the photoelectric detection circuit and generate information indicating that an excitation signal has been received.

[0038] See Figure 4 As shown, the excitation electronic tag mainly consists of a first antenna, an RFID-based first tag chip, and a light excitation circuit, which can use an LED or a special infrared emitter. The detection electronic tag mainly consists of a second antenna, an RFID-based second tag chip, and a photoelectric detection circuit, which can use an optocoupler.

[0039] Taking an LED light-emitting diode D3 as the optical excitation circuit and an optocoupler D4 as the photoelectric detection circuit as an example, when the first tag chip receives a pairing command from the information reading and writing device through the first antenna, the first tag chip generates a constant voltage or a set of pulse wave signals to make the LED light-emitting diode D3 work to emit an excitation signal (light). Correspondingly, after the detection tag detects the excitation signal (light) of the excitation tag through the optocoupler D4 of the photoelectric detection circuit, the optocoupler D4 is in the conducting state. The level signal of the second tag chip of the detection tag connected to the optocoupler D4 through the level conversion circuit of the photoelectric detection circuit (including resistor R2, resistor R3, capacitor C4, and diode D5) is flipped. The second tag chip of the detection tag determines that it has received the excitation signal of the excitation tag through the flipped level signal, and generates information that the excitation signal has been received and stores it in its own memory. When the information reading and writing device sends a query command, the second tag chip of the detection tag sends the information that the excitation signal has been received to the information reading and writing device through the second antenna. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram showing the LED that excites the electronic tag and the optocoupler that detects the electronic tag, respectively installed on the fiber optic port and the fiber optic connector.

[0040] The embodiments of the present invention can achieve non-contact pairing of excitation electronic tags and detection electronic tags through the above-described optocoupler method. When the excitation electronic tag and the detection electronic tag are respectively used on the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic port or the fiber optic port and the fiber optic connector, the pairing of the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic port can be achieved in a non-contact manner, no longer relying on the contact connection method, reducing the requirements for the alignment and plugging design of the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic port, and improving the application reliability of the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic port.

[0041] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, the excitation electronic tag and the detection electronic tag are paired in a photosensitive coupling manner.

[0042] Specifically, see Figure 6 As shown, the excitation electronic tag includes a first antenna, a first tag chip, and an optical excitation circuit, wherein the first tag chip is connected to the first antenna and the optical excitation circuit. The detection electronic tag includes a second antenna, a second tag chip, and a photosensitive detection circuit, wherein the second tag chip is connected to the second antenna terminal and the photosensitive detection circuit. When the fiber optic connector is plugged into the fiber optic port, the optical excitation circuit and the photosensitive detection circuit are paired in a photosensitive coupling manner. The excitation electronic tag is used to transmit an excitation signal through the optical excitation circuit in response to the pairing command of the information reading and writing device; The detection electronic tag is used to receive the excitation signal through the photosensitive detection circuit and generate information indicating that the excitation signal has been received.

[0043] See Figure 6 As shown, the excitation electronic tag mainly consists of a first antenna, an RFID-based first tag chip, and a photoexcitation circuit, which can use an LED or a special infrared emitter. The detection electronic tag mainly consists of a second antenna, an RFID-based second tag chip, and a photosensitive detection circuit, which can use a photoresistor, a photosensitive semiconductor tube, and other photoelectric sensing devices.

[0044] Taking an LED light-emitting diode (D6) as the light excitation circuit and a photoresistor (RL) as the photosensitive detection circuit as an example, when the first tag chip receives a pairing command from the information reading and writing device through the first antenna, the first tag chip generates a constant voltage or a set of pulse wave signals to make the LED light-emitting diode work and emit an excitation signal (light). Correspondingly, under specific light or dark light conditions, the photoresistor is in a high resistance state. After the detection tag detects the excitation signal (light) of the excitation tag through the photosensitive detection circuit's photoresistor, it is in a low resistance state. Then, the voltage signal output to the second tag chip of the detection tag through the voltage divider circuit of the photoelectric detection circuit (including resistors R4 and R5, capacitor C5, and diode D7) changes. The second tag chip of the detection tag determines that it has received the excitation signal of the excitation tag through this voltage signal change and generates information that the excitation signal has been received, storing it in its own memory. When the information reading and writing device sends a query command, the second tag chip of the detection tag sends the information that the excitation signal has been received to the information reading and writing device through the second antenna.

[0045] The embodiments of the present invention can achieve non-contact pairing of excitation electronic tags and detection electronic tags through the above-mentioned photosensitive coupling method. When the excitation electronic tag and the detection electronic tag are respectively used on the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic port or the fiber optic port and the fiber optic connector, the pairing of the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic port can be achieved in a non-contact manner, no longer relying on the contact connection method, reducing the requirements for the alignment and plugging design of the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic port, and improving the application reliability of the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic port.

[0046] In addition, see Figure 7 As shown, a detection electronic tag includes multiple detection circuits that can detect and store the excitation signals of multiple connected excitation electronic tags.

[0047] See Figure 8As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides a method for pairing a communication device port with a connector, using the aforementioned communication device port and connector pairing system. Specifically, the information reading and writing device of the pairing system performs the following steps: Step S10: Send an inventory command. Based on the information from the responses of multiple excitation electronic tags and multiple detection electronic tags to the inventory command, select one excitation electronic tag that has not been paired. Specifically, both the excitation and detection electronic tags store pairing information. If an electronic tag has been successfully paired, it can be identified through the tag's response information.

[0048] Step S20: Send a pairing command to cause the unpaired excitation electronic tag to emit an excitation signal.

[0049] Step S30: Send a query command. If a detection RFID tag responds to the query command with information indicating that it has received the excitation signal emitted by the excitation RFID tag, then it is determined that the excitation RFID tag and the corresponding detection RFID tag have been successfully paired, and the pairing information dataset is updated according to the ID information of the excitation RFID tag and the ID information of the corresponding detection RFID tag; otherwise, it is determined that the excitation RFID tag has failed to pair, and the pairing information dataset is updated according to the ID information of the excitation RFID tag.

[0050] Step S40: Repeat the above steps of sending inventory command, sending pairing command, and sending query command until the end command is received.

[0051] First, electronic tags are limited by size and density, resulting in small antennas and a limited radio frequency (RF) field range for information reading and writing devices. The communication device port and connector pairing method of this invention sends inventory instructions and performs screening actions to the excitation and detection electronic tags within the RF field. As long as the excitation electronic tag requiring pairing is within the RF field of the information reading and writing device, the device can perform the pairing action. This is no longer limited by the device's translation path or designated pairing path. It allows for rapid pairing of excitation electronic tags within the area covered by the RF of the information reading and writing device, eliminating constraints on translation granularity and reducing unnecessary translations. This improves the efficiency of pairing excitation and detection electronic tags (fiber optic ports and fiber optic connectors). Furthermore, this method does not require prior knowledge of tag pairing status, enabling pairing of electronic tags in blind spots and improving pairing flexibility and accuracy.

[0052] Secondly, the communication device port and connector pairing method of the present invention can achieve non-contact pairing of excitation electronic tags and detection electronic tags in a non-contact manner. When the excitation electronic tag and detection electronic tag are respectively used on the fiber optic connector and fiber optic port or the fiber optic port and fiber optic connector, the pairing of the fiber optic connector and fiber optic port can be achieved in a non-contact manner, no longer relying on the contact connection method, reducing the requirements for the alignment and plugging design of the fiber optic connector and fiber optic port, and improving the application reliability of the fiber optic connector and fiber optic port.

[0053] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, the method for pairing the communication device port with the connector further includes the following steps: The display interface shows the information of the pairing information dataset in real time.

[0054] The display interface synchronizes front-end and back-end data, intuitively showing the pairing status of incentive electronic tags and detection electronic tags, guiding users to perform pairing operations, and improving the flexibility and accuracy of pairing.

[0055] The following specific example further illustrates a method for pairing a communication device port with a connector according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0056] See Figure 9 As shown, assume that the excitation electronic tag and the detection electronic tag are used to install on the fiber optic port and the fiber optic connector, respectively. That is, an excitation electronic tag with a specific ID is installed on each fiber optic port. The encoding specification of the excitation electronic tag can be defined as an ID number starting with 01. A detection electronic tag with a specific ID is installed on the fiber optic connector. The encoding specification of the detection tag can be defined as an ID number starting with 02.

[0057] The information reading and writing device performs the following steps to pair the excitation electronic tag and the detection electronic tag (fiber optic port and fiber optic connector): Retrieve information stored in the excitation tags of all fiber optic ports of the ODN device (including ODN device name, port physical location, and excitation tag ID), as well as information stored in the detection tags of all fiber optic connectors, from the backend system or other offline methods. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 9 The first dashed box in the text.

[0058] Construct a display interface that can show the information stored in the excitation electronic tags of all fiber optic ports. See [link / reference]. Figure 9 The second dashed box in the text.

[0059] A storage command is sent, and based on the information from the responses of multiple excitation and detection tags, one unpaired excitation tag is selected. For example, all tags within the area that meet predetermined rules are selected, such as tags starting with 01 (i.e., excitation tags at all fiber optic ports), and then one unpaired excitation tag is selected. A pairing command is sent, causing the unpaired excitation tag to emit an excitation signal. A query command is sent. If a detection tag responds to the query command indicating that it has received the excitation signal emitted by the excitation tag, it is determined that the excitation tag and the corresponding detection tag have successfully paired, and the pairing information dataset is updated based on the ID information of the excitation tag and the corresponding detection tag; otherwise, it is determined that the excitation tag pairing has failed, and the pairing information dataset is updated based on the ID information of the excitation tag. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 9 The third dashed box in the text.

[0060] Use the display interface to display the pairing information dataset in real time. See [link / reference] Figure 9 The fourth dashed box in the text.

[0061] repeat Figure 9 The contents of the third and fourth dashed boxes are processed until the end command is received.
