Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of APK registration technology for production assistance, and specifically refers to an APK registration method in the production process. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of electronic whiteboards, some APKs (Android Package Kits) need to be registered. APK registration requires the device's unique serial number (the serial number rules vary between customers), which is submitted to the APK registration server as unique information for each device. Upon receiving this information, the registration server unlocks the APK's functionality for the customer and charges a fee. The serial number is scanned into the device's memory during production using a barcode scanner. If the serial number is scanned during the first power-on process, the APK service will automatically register with the registration server as soon as the device connects to the internet; the registration server then records this unique code and charges a fee. However, this raises a problem: if a registered device is found to have an anomaly during dozens of production stages, requiring motherboard replacement or other repairs, it results in a wasted serial number, discontinuous serial numbers when the batch of devices leaves the factory, and additional APK registration fees.

[0003] To address this issue, the production line schedules the serial number scanning process as the final step. This means that the serial number is entered into the system only after all online inspection processes have confirmed the machine's qualification, and the machine is then shipped. However, given that current products generally have network capabilities, equipped with wired network cards and wireless modules, and that network access is essential during production to ensure proper network functionality, a new registration problem arises: before the serial number is scanned, the machine automatically connects to the network during the network function testing process, and the APK service automatically accesses the registration server to register. At this point, because the serial number for the entire machine has not yet been scanned, the registration function may not be using the correct serial number. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide an APK registration method during the production process. By using physical isolation, this method solves the problems existing in the prior art, avoids discontinuous serial numbers of production machines, and avoids the problem of being charged extra by the registration server.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of the present invention is: An APK registration method in the production process, comprising: Step 1: Configuration Process Step 1.1 Select two DNS servers; for one DNS server, configure a filter list to act as a filter server, and add all the domain names that the product's APKs need to use during registration to the filter list. These domain names are all IP addresses that cannot be resolved to the target IP address; for the other DNS server, do not configure a filter list to act as a normal server, so that it can connect to the network normally. Step 1.2 Select two backbone routers. Configure the DNS server address of one backbone router to the IP address of the filtering server to act as a filtering router, and configure the DNS server address of the other backbone router to the IP address of the normal server to act as a normal router. Step 1.3 Configure two network routes on the production line, connecting them to the filtering router and the normal router respectively; Step 2: Production Process Step 2.1 If there are any new products or APKs, return to Step 1.1 and configure the domain name address required for the new APK during registration into the filter list; otherwise, proceed directly to Step 2.2. Step 2.2 During the production process, connect the unscanned serial number machine to the network route of the filtering router, and connect the scanned serial number machine to the network route of the normal router to complete the APK registration normally.

[0006] The method further includes: Step 3: Data Recording Record the machines that have completed APK registration, ensure that the registration information of each machine matches the corresponding serial number, and store the data in the company database.

[0007] The method further includes: Regularly check the filter list on the filter server, update the domain names in the filter list as needed, and clean up expired or invalid domain names.

[0008] The method further includes: By monitoring the traffic status of both the filtering router and the normal router, the bandwidth allocation between the two network routes can be dynamically adjusted.

[0009] The method further includes: During the production process, an automatic reminder function is set up for machines whose serial numbers have not been scanned to prevent human error from causing the equipment to fail to connect to the network line of the filtering router in time, or to connect it to the network line of the normal router.

[0010] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following technical effects: This invention avoids APK misregistration through physical isolation, which is relatively flexible and widely applicable to serial numbers of different customers, allowing for unified batch production of motherboards; it can reduce production losses caused by misoperation during the production process and improve production efficiency; it is more flexible than using firewalls, dedicated network lines and other filtering methods, and will not hinder all normal business access of company employees. Detailed Implementation

[0011] To further explain the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0012] First, the working principle of this invention is: (1) The company’s network DNS server is divided into two types: one is a filtering mode that filters the URLs of all APK registration servers, so that APKs cannot access the registration server when they go online, and thus cannot complete the registration; the other is a normal mode that does not filter the URLs of APK registration servers.

[0013] (2) Organize the company's network routes and establish a dedicated filtering route for the router that filters all APK registration server URLs; the other is a normal route that includes the URLs of APK registration servers.

[0014] (3) If the correct serial number is not scanned during the production process, the machine must be connected to the filter route.

[0015] (4) During the production process, after the correct serial number has been scanned, the machine should be connected to the normal route to complete the APK registration.

[0016] Based on the above principles, this invention discloses an APK registration method in the production process, comprising: Step 1: Configuration Process Step 1.1 Select two DNS servers; for one DNS server, configure a filter list to act as a filter server, and add all the domain names that the product's APKs need to use during registration to the filter list. These domain names are all IP addresses that cannot be resolved to the target IP address; for the other DNS server, do not configure a filter list to act as a normal server, so that it can connect to the network normally. Step 1.2 Select two backbone routers. Configure the DNS server address of one backbone router to the IP address of the filtering server to act as a filtering router, and configure the DNS server address of the other backbone router to the IP address of the normal server to act as a normal router. Step 1.3 Configure two network routes on the production line, connecting them to the filtering router and the normal router respectively; Step 2: Production Process Step 2.1 If there are any new products or APKs, return to Step 1.1 and configure the domain name address required for the new APK during registration into the filter list; otherwise, proceed directly to Step 2.2. Step 2.2 During the production process, connect the unscanned serial number machine to the network route of the filtering router, and connect the scanned serial number machine to the network route of the normal router to complete the APK registration normally.

[0017] Through the above solution, this invention avoids APK misregistration by physically isolating it. Its features are: relatively flexible, universally applicable to serial numbers of different customers, and can uniformly produce motherboards in batches; it can reduce production losses caused by misoperation during the production process and improve production efficiency; it is more flexible than using firewalls, dedicated network lines and other filtering methods, and will not hinder all normal business access of company employees.

[0018] Furthermore, the present invention also includes: Step 3: Data Recording Record the machines that have completed APK registration, ensuring that the registration information of each machine matches the corresponding serial number, and store the data in the company database for future query or auditing purposes.

[0019] In addition, the filtering list of the filtering server can be checked regularly, the domain names in the filtering list can be updated as needed, and expired or invalid domain names can be cleaned up to ensure network resolution efficiency during production.

[0020] In addition, by monitoring the traffic status of filtering routers and normal routers, the bandwidth allocation of the two network routes can be dynamically adjusted to avoid network congestion affecting the normal operation of the production line.

[0021] In the production process, this invention has an automatic reminder function for machines whose serial numbers have not been scanned, to prevent the equipment from failing to connect to the network route of the filtering router in time due to human negligence, or to connect it to the network route of the normal router.

[0022] In practical applications, this invention: (1) Strictly require that workers on the production line not plug in network cables or connect to the network at will during the production process; machines that have not scanned serial numbers can only connect to the designated wired or wireless network.

[0023] (2) Increased cost of network cabling and the need to modify the production line network.

[0024] (3) Strictly control non-production line members from borrowing machines (motherboards) in the production process to avoid machines that have not yet been scanned for serial numbers being used for experiments, which may cause problems such as incorrect registration.

[0025] The above embodiments are not intended to limit the product form and style of the present invention. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of the present invention.
