Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of device activation technology, specifically to a device activation and binding method and system. Background Technology

[0002] Smart products are becoming increasingly common. After purchasing them, users often need to read installation instructions, learn how to install them, download the corresponding mini-program, register an account, and submit activation information to complete the installation, binding, and activation before they can use the smart products correctly. For most users, this process is quite cumbersome, resulting in a less than ideal user experience and lowering the overall user experience. Furthermore, during delivery, errors may occur due to various reasons, reducing delivery efficiency and quality.

[0003] For example, after purchasing an ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) device, users need to complete various steps, including selecting an installation location, reading installation instructions, downloading the manufacturer's app to register and submit activation information, and connecting their mobile phone via Bluetooth, before they can use the ETC device for automatic toll deductions. This process is cumbersome for most users, resulting in lower-than-expected usage rates for ETC devices. Furthermore, once activated, the ETC device is not monitored. When a malfunction occurs, the device's information cannot be traced, further compromising the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In one embodiment of the present invention, the device activation and binding method further includes: the server packaging and storing the device number of the target product, the delivery information of the target product, the standard verification information of the target product, the actual verification information of the target product, the device information of the target product, the activation information and binding information of the target product in a product database.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, the target product is an ETC device; the standard verification information of the target product is a standard license plate number input by the user; and the actual verification information of the target product is an identified license plate number obtained by recognizing the user's license plate.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the client obtains the actual verification information of the target product, including: the client obtains the image information of the license plate; and the client recognizes the characters in the image information to identify the user's license plate number.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, after the server completes the activation and binding of the target product according to the activation request information, the device activation and binding method further includes: in response to the query information input by the user, the server generates feedback information according to the query information.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, before the client obtains the actual verification information of the target product, the device activation and binding method further includes: the client obtaining the target order information of the target product; the client extracting the delivery address of the target product from the delivery information in the target order information of the target product; and in response to the delivery request of the delivery person, the client outputting and displaying the delivery address of the target product, so that the delivery person delivers the target product according to the delivery address.

[0011] As a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a device activation and binding system, including a client and a server: wherein the client includes: an identification module, the identification module being used to acquire actual verification information of the target product; a Bluetooth identification module, the Bluetooth identification module being used to generate Bluetooth prompt information when the actual verification information matches the standard verification information, and when the client connects to the target product via Bluetooth, the client identifies the device number, device information, installation method, and activation method of the target product, and displays the installation method and the activation method to guide the delivery person to install the target product according to the installation method and input activation request information according to the activation method; and a display module; the server includes: an order module, the order module being used to determine the target order information of the target product according to the target product pre-ordered by the user, the target order information including the delivery information of the target product and the standard verification information of the target product; a task module being used to interact with the client to guide the delivery person to install the target product according to the installation method; and an activation module, the activation module being used to respond to the activation request information input by the delivery person on the client, and complete the activation and binding of the target product according to the activation request information.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the Bluetooth identification module includes: a camera device for capturing image information including the user's license plate; and a character recognition device for recognizing characters in the image information to obtain the license plate number.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the server further includes: a product database, which stores the device number of the target product, the delivery information of the target product, the standard verification information of the target product, the actual verification information of the target product, the device information of the target product, the activation information and binding information of the target product.

[0015] The device activation and binding method provided by this invention involves the server obtaining the delivery information and standard verification information of the target product pre-ordered by the user. Based on the delivery information, the server transports the target product to the relevant courier point. Simultaneously, the delivery information is displayed on the deliveryman's client. The deliveryman at the courier point then delivers the target product to the delivery address based on the delivery information displayed on the client. The deliveryman's client then obtains the actual verification information of the target product. When the actual verification information matches the standard verification information, a Bluetooth prompt is generated to obtain the device number, installation method, and activation method of the target product. The client displays the installation and activation methods. The deliveryman completes the installation of the target product according to the installation method and executes the activation steps (i.e., activation request information) according to the activation method. After receiving the activation request information, the server completes the activation of the target product and binds it to the user. The installation and activation of the target product are both completed by the deliveryman; the user does not need to install it themselves. For subsequent use, the user only needs to log in directly on their client, avoiding the inconvenience of users delaying the installation and activation of the target product, thereby greatly reducing the sunk costs of unused investment for the supplier. In addition, standard verification information for the target product is set up. When the delivery person delivers the product to the delivery address, the actual verification information is obtained on-site. If the standard verification information does not match the actual verification information, it means that the target product has been delivered incorrectly. If the standard verification information matches the actual verification information, it means that the target product has been delivered correctly. This improves the delivery accuracy and the accuracy of the target product, avoids the occurrence of delivering to the wrong address or delivering the wrong product, and improves the user experience.

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] Exemplary method

[0030] According to a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a device activation and binding method. Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating a device activation and binding method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the device activation and binding method includes the following steps:

[0031] S10: The server determines the target order information of the target product based on the target product reserved by the user. The target order information includes the delivery information of the target product and the standard verification information of the target product.

[0032] When a user purchases or pre-orders a target product, they can fill in the relevant purchase information online or through their user app to submit the pre-order. The server can then obtain the order information for the target product based on the pre-order. This order information may include, but is not limited to, delivery information and standard verification information for the target product. The delivery information instructs the delivery person to deliver the product to the user. When the delivery person delivers the target product to the user, the standard verification information is used by the delivery person to verify whether the delivered product matches the user's pre-order.

[0033] For example, when a user pre-orders an ETC device, the delivery information in the order information for the target product may include: the user's name, contact information, and delivery address. The standard verification information for the target product in the order information may be the user's standard license plate number (e.g., Guangdong A68688) that the user filled in when pre-ordering the ETC device.

[0034] For example, if the target product is a smart home appliance, the delivery information in the order information for that product may include: the user's name, contact information, and delivery address. The standard verification information for the target product in the order information may be: the recipient's name filled in by the user when ordering the smart home appliance. This is used by the delivery person to match the actual recipient's name with the filled-in recipient's name when delivering the smart home appliance to the user. If the match is successful, it indicates that the recipient of the smart home appliance is correct, thus preventing delivery errors caused by incorrect address filled in by the user when placing the order or by a malfunction in the delivery person's client application.

[0035] S20: The client obtains the actual verification information of the target product;

[0036] Once the server obtains the target order information for the target product, it can ship the product according to the delivery information in the target order information, allowing the target product to be transported to the courier point. During the transportation process, the transport path of the target product is recorded. After the target product is transported to the courier point, the relevant delivery person delivers the target product to the user's delivery address. The delivery person's own client will display the delivery address of the target product, and then the delivery person delivers the target product to the delivery address based on the delivery address displayed in the delivery person's client. After the target product is delivered to the delivery address, the delivery person uses the client to obtain the actual verification information of the target product.

[0037] For example, when the target product is an ETC device, the target verification information is the standard license plate number entered by the user when ordering the ETC device. After the delivery person delivers the ETC device to the delivery address, the delivery person's client will take a picture of the user's actual license plate and then identify the user's actual license plate number (i.e., the actual verification information) from the picture.

[0038] For example, if the target product is a smart home appliance, the standard verification information for the smart home appliance could be the recipient's name filled in by the user when ordering it. When the delivery person delivers the smart home appliance to the delivery address, their mobile app will take a photo of the recipient's signature and then identify the actual recipient's name (i.e., the actual verification information).

[0039] S30: The client determines whether the actual verification information of the target product matches the standard verification information;

[0040] Specifically, the way to determine whether the actual verification information matches the standard verification information is to determine whether the actual verification information is the same as the standard verification information, for example, to determine whether the identified ticket number is the same as the standard license plate number.

[0041] When the judgment result of S30 is yes, that is, the client judges that the actual verification information of the target product matches the standard verification information, then it can be concluded that the target product is delivered accurately and the target product is indeed the product purchased by the user. At this time, S40 is executed.

[0042] When the judgment result of S30 is negative, that is, the client determines that the actual verification information of the target product does not match the standard verification information, it means that the target product may have been delivered to the wrong place. Therefore, a warning message is generated, that is, S80 is executed.

[0043] S40: The client generates a Bluetooth notification message;

[0044] When it is confirmed in S30 that the target product has been accurately delivered to the user, the client generates a Bluetooth notification message. This message enables the client to establish a Bluetooth connection with the target product. Once the client and the target product have established a Bluetooth connection (for example, if the target product is an ETC device, the delivery person's client can establish a Bluetooth connection with the ETC device based on the Bluetooth notification message), the connection will be established.

[0045] S50: The client identifies the device number, device information, installation method, and activation method of the target product, and displays the installation method and the activation method to guide the delivery person to install the target product according to the installation method and input the activation request information according to the activation method.

[0046] After the client establishes a Bluetooth connection with the target product, it can identify the product's device number, device information, installation method, and activation method, and display the installation and activation methods to guide the delivery person to install the target product according to the installation method and enter activation request information according to the activation method to request activation of the target product.

[0047] After receiving the installation and activation methods for the target product from the server, the delivery person's client displays the installation and activation methods so that the delivery person can complete the installation of the target product according to the installation methods on the client.

[0048] S60: In response to the activation request information entered by the delivery person on the client, the server activates the target product based on the activation request information and binds the target product with the user. After binding is completed, the user's account is handed over to the user, and in subsequent use, the user can log in to their account on their own client to use the target product.

[0049] S70: The client generates an alert message, which is used to indicate that the target product has been delivered incorrectly.

[0050] Once the client generates an alert, it sends the alert to the server. The server then uses the alert to retrieve the order and logistics information for the target product, thereby verifying the correct delivery address and the reason for the delivery error, in order to prevent future delivery errors from occurring.

[0051] The device activation and binding method provided by this invention involves the server obtaining the delivery information and standard verification information of the target product pre-ordered by the user. Based on the delivery information, the server transports the target product to the relevant courier point. Simultaneously, the delivery information is displayed on the deliveryman's client. The deliveryman at the courier point then delivers the target product to the delivery address based on the delivery information displayed on the client. The deliveryman's client then obtains the actual verification information of the target product. When the actual verification information matches the standard verification information, a Bluetooth prompt is generated to obtain the device number, installation method, and activation method of the target product. The client displays the installation and activation methods. The deliveryman completes the installation of the target product according to the installation method and executes the activation steps (i.e., activation request information) according to the activation method. After receiving the activation request information, the server completes the activation of the target product and binds it to the user. The installation and activation of the target product are both completed by the deliveryman; the user does not need to install it themselves. For subsequent use, the user only needs to log in directly on their client, avoiding the inconvenience of users delaying the installation and activation of the target product, thereby greatly reducing the sunk costs of unused investment for the supplier. In addition, standard verification information for the target product is set up. When the delivery person delivers the product to the delivery address, the actual verification information is obtained on-site. If the standard verification information does not match the actual verification information, it means that the target product has been delivered incorrectly. If the standard verification information matches the actual verification information, it means that the target product has been delivered correctly. This improves the delivery accuracy and the accuracy of the target product, avoids the occurrence of delivering to the wrong address or delivering the wrong product, and improves the user experience.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the device activation and binding method provided by the present invention further includes the following steps:

[0053] S80: The server packages and stores the target product's device number, order information, standard verification information, actual verification information, device information, activation information, and binding information in the product database.

[0054] Once the server activates the target product and binds it to the user, it packages and stores the target product's device ID, order information, standard verification information, actual verification information, device information, and activation information in the product database. For example, if the target product is an ETC device, then the ETC device's device ID, delivery information, the user's standard license plate number, actual license plate number, device information, activation information, and binding information are packaged and stored in the product database.

[0055] Through the product database, the server can store the actual verification information of the target goods, the equipment information of the target device, the installation method, and the activation method recorded by the deliveryman's client, ensuring the integrity and traceability of the information.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the target product is an ETC device, the actual verification information of the target product is the license plate number obtained by recognizing the user's license plate. Specifically, S20 (the client obtains the actual verification information of the target product) includes the following steps:

[0057] S201: The client obtains the image information of the license plate;

[0058] Specifically, the delivery person's client can be set up with a camera device. When the delivery person delivers the ETC device to the user, the camera device will be activated to take a picture of the user's license plate in order to obtain image information including the user's license plate.

[0059] You can also set up a scanner on the delivery person's client. When the delivery person delivers the ETC device to the user, the scanner will scan the user's license plate and start the scanner to obtain image information including the license plate.

[0060] S202: The client identifies the characters in the image information to determine the user's license plate number.

[0061] Once an image containing the user's license plate is captured, the characters in the image can be recognized to identify the user's license plate number.

[0062] Specifically, OCR technology can be used. OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology converts text into image information through optical input methods such as scanning, and then further recognizes the image information to identify the license plate number.

[0063] Specifically, when identifying license plate numbers from image information, deep learning algorithms, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), can be used to locate and segment text regions in the image. Then, the detected text regions are converted into computer-readable character information. This process typically uses algorithms such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs) or long short-term memory networks (LSTMs) for character recognition and conversion to obtain a preliminary license plate number. Finally, post-processing can be performed on the preliminary license plate number, such as removing extra spaces and correcting erroneous characters, to ultimately output the identified license plate number.

[0064] This invention uses the deliveryman's client to take a picture of the user's license plate, and then identifies the license plate number from the picture. This can further improve the accuracy and security of the verification and avoid subjective human operation.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, after S70 (the server completes the activation and binding of the target product based on the activation request information), the device activation and binding method may also include the following steps:

[0066] S90: In response to the query information entered by the user, the server generates feedback information based on the query information.

[0067] Once the target product is successfully activated and bound, the delivery person can enter query information on the client. The server generates corresponding feedback information based on this information and sends it to the delivery person's client, allowing them to query the user's target product (e.g., the user's ETC device) usage, binding, device, and activation information. This query enables interaction with the client, allowing for ETC device status checks and ensuring that the delivery person can quickly obtain the activation status after installing the ETC device and receive immediate feedback from the server.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, before S20 (the client obtains the actual verification information of the target product), the device activation and binding method also includes the following steps:

[0069] S11: The client obtains the order information for the target product;

[0070] S12: Extract the delivery address of the target product from the target order information of the target product;

[0071] The client obtains the target order information for the target product. Since the target order information includes the target product's delivery information and standard verification information, the client can extract the target product's delivery information and then extract the delivery address from the delivery information.

[0072] S13: In response to the delivery request from the delivery person, output and display the delivery address of the target product so that the delivery person can deliver the target product according to the delivery address.

[0073] When a delivery person enters a delivery request in the client, the client displays the delivery address. After seeing the delivery address, the delivery person can deliver the target product to the user according to the delivery address.

[0074] This invention integrates the delivery terminal of the courier into the client.

[0075] Exemplary system

[0076] As a second aspect of the invention, the invention also provides a device activation and binding system. Figure 6 The diagram shown is a working block diagram of a device activation and binding system provided by the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, the device activation and binding system includes a client 1 and a server 2. The client 1 includes: an identification module 11, used to acquire the actual verification information of the target product; a Bluetooth identification module 12, used to generate Bluetooth prompt information when the actual verification information matches the standard verification information, and, after the client connects to the target product via Bluetooth, to identify the target product's device number, device information, installation method, and activation method, and display the installation method and activation method to guide the delivery person to install the target product according to the installation method and input activation request information according to the activation method; and a display module 13, used to display relevant information, such as the delivery address extracted from the user's delivery information, the target product's installation method, and activation method.

[0077] Server 2 includes: an order module 21, which determines the target order information for the target product based on the user's pre-order, including delivery information and standard verification information; a task module 22, which interacts with the client to guide the delivery person in installing the target product according to the installation method; when the installation method is displayed on the client's display module 13, the delivery person installs the product according to the method, and each installation step or precaution is handled by the task module 22 in server 2 interacting with the client; and an activation module 23, which responds to the activation request information entered by the delivery person in the client and completes the activation and binding of the target product based on the activation request information.

[0078] The device activation and binding system provided by this invention involves a server acquiring delivery information and standard verification information for a user-ordered target product. Based on the delivery information, the server transports the target product to the relevant courier point. Simultaneously, the delivery information is displayed on the deliveryman's client. The deliveryman at the courier point then delivers the target product to the delivery address based on the information displayed on the client. The deliveryman's client then obtains the actual verification information of the target product. When the actual verification information matches the standard verification information, a Bluetooth prompt is generated to obtain the target product's device number, installation method, and activation method. The client displays the installation and activation methods, and the deliveryman completes the installation of the target product according to the installation method and executes the activation steps (i.e., activation request information) according to the activation method. Upon receiving the activation request information, the server activates the target product and binds it to the user. The installation and activation of the target product are both completed by the deliveryman; the user does not need to install it themselves. For subsequent use, the user only needs to log in directly on their client, avoiding the inconvenience of users delaying the installation and activation of the target product, thus greatly reducing the sunk costs of unused investment for the supplier. In addition, standard verification information for the target product is set up. When the delivery person delivers the product to the delivery address, the actual verification information is obtained on-site. If the standard verification information does not match the actual verification information, it means that the target product has been delivered incorrectly. If the standard verification information matches the actual verification information, it means that the target product has been delivered correctly. This improves the delivery accuracy and the accuracy of the target product, avoids the occurrence of delivering to the wrong address or delivering the wrong product, and improves the user experience.

[0079] Optionally, the Bluetooth identification module 12 includes: a camera device for capturing image information including the user's license plate; and a character recognition device for recognizing characters in the image information to obtain the license plate number.

[0080] Specifically, character recognition devices can use convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to locate and segment text regions in an image. The detected text regions are then converted into computer-readable character information. This process typically uses algorithms such as recurrent neural networks or long short-term memory networks for character recognition and conversion to obtain a preliminary license plate number. Finally, post-processing can be performed on the preliminary license plate number, such as removing extra spaces and correcting erroneous characters, to ultimately output the recognized license plate number.

[0081] This invention uses the deliveryman's client to take a picture of the user's license plate, and then identifies the license plate number from the picture. This can further improve the accuracy and security of the verification and avoid subjective human operation.

[0082] It should be noted that the device that acquires image information including the user's license plate can also be a scanner.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 7 As shown, server 2 also includes:

[0084] Product database 24 is used to store the device number of the target product, the delivery information of the target product, the standard verification information of the target product, the actual verification information of the target product, the device information of the target product, the activation information of the target product, and the binding information.

[0085] After activating the target product and binding it to the user, the target product's device ID, order information, standard verification information, actual verification information, device information, and activation information can be packaged and stored in the product database. For example, if the target product is an ETC device, then the ETC device's device ID, delivery information, the user's standard license plate number, actual license plate number, device information, activation information, and binding information can be packaged and stored in the product database.

[0086] Through the product database, the server can store the actual verification information of the target goods, the equipment information of the target device, the installation method, and the activation method recorded by the deliveryman's client, ensuring the integrity and traceability of the information.

[0087] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 7 As shown, the client also includes a query module 14, which is used to respond to the query information input by the user, and the server generates feedback information based on the query information.

[0088] Once the target product is successfully activated and bound, the delivery person can enter query information on the client. The server generates corresponding feedback information based on this information and sends it to the delivery person's client, allowing them to query the user's target product (e.g., the user's ETC device) usage, binding, device, and activation information. This query enables interaction with the client, allowing for ETC device status checks and ensuring that the delivery person can quickly obtain the activation status after installing the ETC device and receive immediate feedback from the server.
