[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions 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.

[0029] Currently, most home appliances are designed as intelligent kitchen appliances that can be connected to the network, enabling users to operate them remotely. However, the current network configuration process for home appliances is relatively cumbersome, which not only reduces the success rate of network configuration but also significantly impacts the user experience.

[0030] Based on this, the network distribution method and device provided in this embodiment of the invention can improve the success rate of network distribution for kitchen appliances. At the same time, it can also solve the cumbersome usage process, simplify the user interaction process, and reduce the user's learning cost, thereby improving the user's usage rate and user experience.

[0031] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a distribution network method disclosed in this embodiment of the invention will first be described in detail.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the present invention provides a network distribution method applied to home appliances. The home appliances in the present invention can be intelligent home appliances, including kitchen appliances, smart home devices, etc., which are equipped with not only communication units but also network connection units, enabling them to communicate with user terminals and back-end cloud servers.

[0033] Taking kitchen appliances as an example, also known as kitchen equipment, kitchen products, etc., these include integrated stoves, all-in-one machines, range hoods, dishwashers, dryers, and other smart devices for cooking or non-cooking purposes. The aforementioned user terminals include smart devices such as smartphones, tablets, and PDAs used by users, which can wirelessly communicate with home appliances to achieve remote intelligent control of the home appliances.

[0034] like Figure 1 The illustrated distribution network method includes the following steps:

[0035] Step S102: In response to the user terminal's information reading request, the pre-configured tag information is sent to the user terminal so that the user terminal can confirm the distribution network information based on the tag information;

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, the tag information is used to instruct the user terminal to activate the network configuration interface corresponding to the home appliance.

[0037] Step S104: Respond to the data transmission request from the user terminal and receive the network distribution information transmitted by the user terminal;

[0038] Step S106: Extract the distribution network data carried in the distribution network information to execute the distribution network process based on the distribution network data.

[0039] In practical use, the user terminal and home appliance in the embodiments of the present invention can achieve short-range wireless communication. Therefore, the aforementioned home appliance is usually equipped with a first short-range wireless communication unit; the corresponding user terminal is equipped with a second short-range wireless communication unit corresponding to the first short-range wireless communication unit, thereby enabling communication and data interaction between the user terminal and the home appliance.

[0040] Furthermore, the aforementioned first and second near-field communication units can be communication units based on NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, thereby enabling near-field wireless communication between the user terminal and home appliances. In addition, the aforementioned first and second near-field communication units can also be other communication units supporting near-field wireless communication. In this embodiment of the invention, an NFC-based communication unit is used as an example. In other embodiments, the near-field communication units can be configured according to actual usage conditions. The specific implementation depends on the actual use, and this embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitations on this.

[0041] Furthermore, based on the first short-range wireless communication unit configured in the aforementioned home appliance and the second short-range wireless communication unit configured in the user terminal; in step S102, when responding to the user terminal's information reading request, the user terminal's information reading request can be responded to through the first short-range wireless communication unit, wherein the information reading request is sent by the user terminal to the home appliance through the second short-range wireless communication unit; then the home appliance sends the pre-configured tag information to the user terminal's second short-range wireless communication unit through the first short-range wireless communication unit.

[0042] Furthermore, in step S104 above, when responding to the data transmission request of the user terminal, the data transmission request of the user terminal can also be responded to through the first short-range wireless communication unit, and the distribution network information transmitted by the user terminal through the second short-range wireless communication unit can be received through the first short-range wireless communication unit.

[0043] Specifically, after receiving the distribution network information, home appliances can further extract the distribution network data to execute the distribution network process.

[0044] Furthermore, the home appliance in this embodiment of the invention is also equipped with a network connection unit; in step S106 above, when extracting the distribution network data carried in the distribution network information to execute the distribution network process based on the distribution network data, the distribution network data carried in the distribution network information can be extracted and then sent to the network connection unit so that the network connection unit can execute the distribution network process.

[0045] Furthermore, after the home appliances begin executing the network distribution process, within a pre-configured time range, the home appliances can also respond to the end of the network distribution process and send the network distribution results to the user terminal for display.

[0046] In practical use, to enable remote control of home appliances via user terminals, a corresponding application (APP) is typically pre-installed on the user terminal. After the tag information is sent to the user terminal, the APP is triggered, and the corresponding network configuration interface is opened. During this process, the user terminal acquires network configuration data, packages it to generate network configuration information, and then transmits it to the home appliance. While the user terminal is acquiring network configuration data, the home appliance is in a network configuration waiting state. After receiving the network configuration information transmitted by the user terminal, it further extracts network configuration data and executes the network configuration process. Therefore, the network configuration method in this embodiment of the invention is actually a continuous interaction process between the user terminal and the home appliance.

[0047] Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, another network distribution method is also provided, which is applied to a user terminal, specifically, as follows: Figure 2 The flowchart shown represents another distribution network method, which includes the following steps:

[0048] Step S202: Send an information reading request to the home appliance to read the pre-configured tag information in the home appliance;

[0049] Step S204: Parse the tag information and start the network configuration interface corresponding to the home appliance based on the tag information;

[0050] Step S206: Obtain distribution network information and display the distribution network information on the distribution network interface;

[0051] Step S208: Respond to the confirmation operation for the distribution network information and send the distribution network information to the home appliance so that the home appliance can extract the distribution network data carried in the distribution network information and execute the distribution network process based on the distribution network data.

[0052] Since the home appliance is equipped with a first short-range wireless communication unit and the user terminal is equipped with a second short-range wireless communication unit, in the above step S202, the user terminal can send an information reading request to the home appliance through the second short-range wireless communication unit and send the network distribution information to the home appliance. Similarly, the home appliance receives the information reading request and the network distribution information sent by the user terminal through the first short-range wireless communication unit.

[0053] Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in Figure 1 and Figure 2 On this basis, Figure 3 A timing diagram of a power distribution network process is shown. Figure 3 The diagram illustrates the interaction process between user terminals and home appliances during the power distribution network process, and... Figure 3 In this explanation, the first and second near-field communication units mentioned above are used as examples of communication units in NFC technology (hereinafter referred to as NFC units). Figure 3 The diagram also illustrates a network connection unit configured in a home appliance. In this embodiment, a kitchen appliance is used as an example, and a WIFI module is used as the network connection unit. Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following:

[0054] (1) The user terminal is close to the NFC unit of the home appliance;

[0055] During this process, when a user needs to network a home appliance, the user can activate the NFC function of the user terminal and move the user terminal close to the home appliance to enter the communication range of the NFC unit.

[0056] (2) Read the tag information in the NFC unit of the home appliance;

[0057] During this process, the NFC unit of the user terminal quickly reads the tag information in the NFC unit of the home appliance, corresponding to the above steps S202 and S102. That is, the user terminal sends an information reading request, the home appliance responds, and then sends the pre-configured tag information to the user terminal.

[0058] In this embodiment of the invention, the tag information may carry the identification information of the home appliance, as well as identifier information, etc. The identification information of the home appliance is the unique identifier of the home appliance, and the identifier information may include URLSchemes and a URL (uniform resource locator) with some parameters, etc.

[0059] After the user terminal reads the tag information, it can further open the URL Scheme within the tag information. Since a URL Scheme is a way to identify URLs that a specific application can process, the user terminal can then open any installed application. If the application terminal detects that the corresponding application is not currently installed, it can redirect to the appropriate app store to download it, and so on. Furthermore, once the application is opened, it can parse the corresponding parameter data in the URL to redirect to the network configuration interface. This process corresponds to... Figure 3 (3) Parse the tag information; (4) Open the application APP or jump to the corresponding application market; and (5) Parse the tag information and jump to the network distribution interface.

[0060] (6) Confirm the distribution network information;

[0061] The process of confirming distribution network information actually includes the process of the user terminal obtaining distribution network information in step S206 above. That is, after opening the distribution network interface, the distribution network information is obtained and displayed for the user to confirm.

[0062] In a specific implementation, in this embodiment of the invention, since the tag information also carries the identification information of the home appliance, when obtaining the distribution network information, the identification information of the home appliance can be extracted, and the identification information can be used to determine whether the home appliance is in the first distribution network state. If so, the distribution network information of the current environment of the current user terminal is obtained; if not, the distribution network record of the home appliance is obtained, and the matching distribution network information of the home appliance is found from the distribution network record.

[0063] Specifically, in this process, if the user terminal is not configuring the network for the first time, the configuration information has been cached locally and stored in the cloud after the last configuration was completed. That is, the configuration record has been stored. This time, the local cache information of the user terminal's last configuration record can be directly obtained. The required information such as the account and password for configuration can be obtained without any operation by the user.

[0064] If the user terminal is configuring the network for the first time, the cloud can be used to check if there are other devices under the user's household using the account information logged in on the user terminal. If other devices have already been configured, the corresponding network configuration information stored in the previous configuration data can be directly obtained, i.e., the network configuration information of the user terminal's current environment. This method reduces user operations and lowers the risk of errors. If there are no other devices, the network information currently connected to the user terminal can be obtained as the network configuration information. If the information cannot be obtained from this, the user needs to manually enter it to ensure that the network configuration information can be obtained. Compared with the existing solution, the above process can greatly reduce the user's operations when selecting the network and entering network information, reduce the probability of user errors, and increase the likelihood of successful network configuration.

[0065] Furthermore, after the user confirms that the network configuration information is correct, the user terminal can respond. At this time, the user can move the user terminal close to the NFC unit of the home appliance again to send the network configuration information to the home appliance, that is, corresponding to... Figure 3 (7) process.

[0066] The network distribution information sent during this process is usually encrypted data. After the transmission is completed, the user terminal can either start querying or wait for the network distribution results sent after the network distribution process of the home appliances is completed.

[0067] Furthermore, on the home appliance side, if the distribution network information sent in (7) above is received, it enters the distribution network state, that is, the corresponding Figure 3 (8) Data verification and security verification.

[0068] In this process, the NFC unit of the home appliance itself can verify and securely authenticate the network distribution data, such as data decryption and local data parsing. Afterwards, the network distribution data required for network distribution is transmitted to the network connection unit, i.e., the WIFI module, via a direct serial connection or the home appliance's MCU. This process corresponds to... Figure 3 In the process of (9) data transmission of the network, after the WIFI module obtains the relevant network data and key, it can perform (10) data verification and security verification again. After passing the verification, the home appliance starts to perform (11) network connection process, that is, connect to the WiFi network. After successful connection, the home appliance can be registered to the back-end cloud server.

[0069] During the network distribution process, the user terminal is always in a state of querying and obtaining network distribution results. That is, after the user terminal sends the network distribution information to the home appliances, it can obtain the network distribution results of the home appliances within a pre-configured time range; and display the obtained network distribution results on the network distribution interface. Figure 3The process of (12) querying and obtaining the distribution network result and (13) displaying the distribution network result, for example, if the distribution network is completed, the distribution network result of the distribution network is displayed, and if the distribution network is not completed, the message "waiting for distribution network result" can be displayed.

[0070] During this process, the user terminal can continuously obtain the network configuration results of home appliances. After obtaining the network configuration success information of the home appliances within the agreed time, the successful network configuration result will be displayed. If the successful network configuration result is not obtained within the time limit, it will be judged as a network configuration failure, and the corresponding network configuration result will be displayed in the network configuration process of the application APP.

[0071] Through the above Figure 3 The network configuration process shown can greatly reduce the number of clicks required by users during the configuration process. If the corresponding application APP is installed, users only need to confirm whether the network configuration information is correct throughout the process, without any further operations. This not only reduces the learning cost for users, but also increases the success rate of network configuration for kitchen appliances, thereby improving the user experience.

[0072] Furthermore, in the above Figure 1 Based on the distribution network method shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides a distribution network device, which is applied to household appliances, such as... Figure 4 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a power distribution network device, which includes:

[0073] The request module 40 is used to respond to the information reading request of the user terminal and send the pre-configured tag information to the user terminal so that the user terminal can confirm the network distribution information based on the tag information; wherein, the tag information is used to instruct the user terminal to start the network distribution interface corresponding to the home appliance;

[0074] The receiving module 42 is used to respond to the data transmission request of the user terminal and receive the network distribution information transmitted by the user terminal;

[0075] Distribution network module 44 is used to extract distribution network data carried in the distribution network information, so as to execute the distribution network process based on the distribution network data.

[0076] Furthermore, corresponding to Figure 2 The network distribution method shown in the present invention also provides another network distribution device, which is applied to a user terminal, such as... Figure 5 The diagram shows another type of distribution network device, which includes:

[0077] The sending module 50 is used to send an information reading request to the home appliance to read the pre-configured tag information in the home appliance;

[0078] The parsing module 52 is used to parse the tag information and start the network configuration interface corresponding to the home appliance based on the tag information;

[0079] Display module 54 is used to acquire distribution network information and display the distribution network information on the distribution network interface;

[0080] The confirmation module 56 is used to respond to the confirmation operation for the distribution network information and send the distribution network information to the home appliance so that the home appliance can extract the distribution network data carried in the distribution network information and execute the distribution network process based on the distribution network data.
