[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0029] Intelligent networking terminals refer to terminal devices, such as routers, that extend the coverage of the smart home gateway's wireless local area network (WIFI) within a home broadband user network.

[0030] First, let's explain the technical names involved in this utility model:

[0031] USB: Universal Serial Bus, is a serial bus standard and a technical specification for input / output interfaces.

[0032] IC: Integrated Circuit (IC) is a miniature electronic device that integrates electronic components such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors, along with their connecting wires, onto a small semiconductor wafer (such as a silicon wafer) using semiconductor manufacturing processes.

[0033] WIFI: A wireless local area network technology that allows electronic devices (such as mobile phones, computers, tablets, etc.) to connect to the Internet or communicate with each other via wireless signals.

[0034] IP: Internet Protocol (IP) is a network layer protocol in the TCP / IP architecture.

[0035] The intelligent networking terminals in related technologies do not have screens. If users need to query or configure the intelligent networking terminal, they need to download a mobile application on the terminal, bind the intelligent networking terminal, and then query and configure it through the mobile application. Alternatively, users need to access it through a personal computer connected to the intelligent networking terminal, that is, by entering the intelligent networking terminal's management IP address or domain name into the browser of the personal computer to access the intelligent networking terminal's management page. This makes the configuration, operation, and interaction with other devices of the intelligent networking terminal all require operation through other devices, which is relatively cumbersome and inconvenient for users.

[0036] Furthermore, the intelligent networking terminals in related technologies only have routing and internet access functions, which are relatively simple. In the mobile internet era, with the rise of IoT technology, intelligent networking terminals can no longer meet the growing needs of users.

[0037] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides an intelligent networking terminal that expands the functionality of the intelligent networking terminal and allows for more convenient and flexible configuration or querying of routing modules, thereby improving the flexibility of the intelligent networking terminal's configuration and operation.

[0038] like Figure 1As shown, the intelligent networking terminal 100 includes a routing module 10 and an Android module 20. The routing module 10 includes a first USB interface 101, and the Android module 20 includes a second USB interface 201, an Android IC unit 21, and a touch unit 22. The first USB interface 101 and the second USB interface 201 are connected by wired communication, and the Android IC unit 21 is electrically connected to the second USB interface 201 and the touch unit 22 respectively.

[0039] The first USB port 101 and the second USB port 201 are connected via a USB cable. The first USB port 101 and the second USB port 201 can be the same type of interface, such as both being USB Type-C interfaces, or they can be different types of interfaces, such as the first USB port 101 being a USB Type-A interface and the second USB port 201 being a USB Type-C interface. By selecting the corresponding matching USB cable based on the first USB port 101 and the second USB port 201, the communication connection between the Android module 20 and the router module 10 is established.

[0040] The Android IC unit 21 includes an Android chip, memory, flash memory, wireless communication unit, and various interfaces. The Android IC unit 21 can process and store data, and can connect to wireless network information through the wireless communication unit. For example, if the router module 10 provides a WIFI signal, the wireless communication unit can connect to the WIFI signal provided by the router module 10, enabling the Android IC unit 21 to have Internet access function and realize network communication connection with other devices.

[0041] The touch unit 22 is a human-computer interaction device. The touch unit 22 has devices such as buttons, keyboards or screens. Users can input relevant commands through touch, click or swipe operations to control or configure the Android module 20 and the router module 10. The router module 10 or the Android module 20 can also display information to the user through the touch unit 22 to realize human-computer interaction.

[0042] Specifically, the user inputs settings or queries on the touch unit 22 through touch, click, or swipe operations. The touch unit 22 receives the user's settings or query commands, generates corresponding query information, and transmits the query information to the Android IC unit 21. The Android IC unit 21 receives, processes, and analyzes the query information, and sends the query information to the routing module 10 through the second USB interface 201 and the first USB interface 101, so as to perform configuration or query and other related operations on the routing module 10.

[0043] Therefore, users can configure or query the routing module 10 through the Android module 20 without using other devices to set or query the routing module 10, which expands the functions of the smart networking terminal 100 and makes it more convenient and flexible to set or query the routing module 10, thereby improving the flexibility of the configuration and operation of the smart networking terminal 100.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent networking terminal 100 also includes a power supply module 30, which supplies power to the Android module 20 and the router module 10.

[0045] The power supply module 30 may include a step-down circuit and a filter circuit. The step-down circuit converts the input voltage into the power supply voltage required by the Android module 20 and the router module 10. The filter circuit filters the power supply voltage to obtain a more stable power supply voltage, so as to provide stable power to the Android module 20 and the router module 10.

[0046] In some embodiments, the power supply module 30 may also include an AC-DC conversion circuit, such as a rectifier circuit. If the input power is AC power, the AC-DC conversion circuit converts the AC power to DC power, and then the DC power voltage is reduced to the power supply voltage required by the Android module 20 and the router module 10 through a step-down circuit.

[0047] In some embodiments, during the interaction between the routing module 10 and the Android module 20, if the routing module 10 is a USB master device and the Android module 20 is a USB slave device, then the routing module 10 acts as the USB master device, actively initiating communication and supplying power to the Android module 20. If the power supply module 30 supplies power to the routing module 10, the routing module 10 then supplies power to the Android module 20 through the corresponding USB interface. The Android module 20, acting as a USB slave device, passively responds to commands and performs data scheduling.

[0048] If the router module 10 is a USB slave device and the Android module 20 is a USB master device, then the Android module 20 controls data transmission by sending commands, and the router module 10 is responsible for executing the responses, such as sharing the network or transferring files.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the routing module 10 also includes a routing IC unit 11 and a WIFI 6 unit 12. The routing IC unit 11 is communicatively connected to the first USB interface 101, and the routing IC unit 11 is also electrically connected to the WIFI 6 unit 12 via a bus. The WIFI 6 unit 12 is also wirelessly connected to the Android module 20.

[0050] The routing IC unit 11 includes a routing chip, memory, flash memory, and various interfaces. The routing chip can be a USB control chip. The routing IC unit 11 can receive and process data. The WIFI6 unit 12 is a WIFI wireless function chip that uses sixth-generation wireless network technology. The routing IC unit 11 and the WIFI6 unit 12 are electrically connected via a PCIe bus.

[0051] The WIFI6 unit 12 primarily utilizes technologies such as OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) and MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output), achieving a maximum speed of 9.6Gbps. It offers advantages such as faster speed, lower latency, larger capacity, enhanced security, and lower power consumption, improving internet speed for devices and supporting dual-band signals. The WIFI6 unit 12 also provides a WIFI network to the Android module 20, enabling the wireless communication unit in the Android module 20 to access the WIFI network and thus allowing the Android module 20 to connect to the network.

[0052] In some embodiments, the WIFI6 unit 12 includes an analog-to-digital converter chip 121 and an RF chip 122. The analog-to-digital converter chip 121 is electrically connected to the routing IC unit 11 and the RF chip 122, respectively. Specifically, the analog-to-digital converter chip 121 is electrically connected to the routing chip and the RF chip 122, respectively.

[0053] The radio frequency chip 122 converts the digital signal emitted by the router chip into a radio frequency analog signal, which is then transmitted through the antenna. It also converts the radio frequency analog signal captured by the antenna into a baseband analog signal for subsequent processing.

[0054] The analog-to-digital converter chip 121 receives the baseband analog signal output by the radio frequency chip 122, converts it into a digital signal through the analog-to-digital converter, and provides it for processing by the routing chip. Furthermore, the digital signal generated by the routing chip is converted back into a baseband analog signal through a digital-to-analog converter, and then transmitted to the radio frequency chip 122 for modulation and transmission.

[0055] Therefore, the radio frequency chip 122 and the analog-to-digital converter chip 121 work together to realize the wireless function of the routing module 10, and their performance determines the speed, stability and coverage quality of the WIFI. In this embodiment, the WIFI6 unit 12 achieves lower latency and higher throughput through the high-precision analog-to-digital converter chip 121 and efficient radio frequency modulation technology.

[0056] In some embodiments, the routing chip in the routing IC unit 11 can be an MT7621D, and the WIFI6 unit 12 can include a highly integrated WIFI A / D chip and an RF chip 122, conforming to the 802.11 / b / g / n / ac / ax standard WIFI6 solution. The highly integrated WIFI A / D chip uses an MT7915DA, and the RF chip 122 uses a U8MT7975DN. The routing chip is electrically connected to the highly integrated WIFI A / D chip MT7915DA via a PCIe bus, and the highly integrated WIFI A / D chip is electrically connected to the RF chip 122.

[0057] The routing IC unit 11 receives query information through the first USB interface 101 and the second USB interface 201, generates query results based on the query information, and sends the query results to the Android IC unit 21 through the first USB interface 101 and the second USB interface 201. The Android IC unit 21 can send the query results to the touch unit 22 for display.

[0058] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 3 The Android module 20 also includes a wireless communication unit 23, which is communicatively connected to the Android IC unit 21 and the radio frequency chip 122. The wireless communication unit 23 is used to access the WIFI signal emitted by the radio frequency chip 122, enabling the Android module 20 to access the network.

[0059] The wireless communication unit 23 can be a built-in or external wireless network card, such as a built-in wireless network card integrated on the main board of the Android IC unit 21 and used with the antenna module, or a WIFI adapter with a USB interface, which is plugged into the USB interface of the Android module 20.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the routing IC unit 11 includes a USB control chip 111, and the Android IC unit 21 includes a USB communication chip 211. The USB control chip 111 is electrically connected to the first USB interface 101, and the USB communication chip 211 is electrically connected to the second USB interface 201. The USB communication chip 211 is also communicatively connected to the touch unit 22.

[0061] The USB communication chip 211 receives the query information sent by the touch unit 22 and sends the query information to the USB control chip 111 through the second USB interface 201 and the first USB interface 101. The USB control chip 111 generates a query result based on the query information and sends the query result to the USB communication chip 211 through the first USB interface 101 and the second USB interface 201. The USB communication chip 211 can send the query result to the touch unit 22 to display the query result on the touch unit 22.

[0062] The USB control chip 111 can be the same chip as the routing IC chip, or it can be a separate control chip. The USB control chip 111 includes an application function unit, which is a software component. The communication between the USB control chip 111 and the application function unit is inter-process communication (IPC). After receiving query information, the USB control chip 111 calls the setting or query interface of the application function unit based on the query information to perform function settings or queries and generates corresponding query results. The USB control unit is electrically connected to the first USB interface 101 and also communicatively connected to the application function unit, with the communication between the USB control unit and the application function unit also being IPC.

[0063] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 4 The touch unit 22 includes a touch controller 221 and a touch screen 222. The touch controller 221 is electrically connected to the USB communication chip 211, and the touch controller 221 is electrically connected to the touch screen 222.

[0064] The touch controller 221 detects the user's touch operation on the touch screen 222 to generate query information and sends the query information to the USB communication chip 211. The USB communication chip 211 sends the query information to the USB control chip 111 through the second USB interface 201 and the first USB interface 101. The USB control chip 111 calls the corresponding application function unit based on the query information to perform function settings or queries, generates the corresponding query results, and then sends the query results to the USB communication chip 211 through the first USB interface 101 and the second USB interface 201. The USB communication chip 211 sends the query results to the touch screen 222 for display.

[0065] The touchscreen 222 is a capacitive touchscreen 222. The touch controller 221 can be integrated into the touchscreen 222 to detect changes in capacitance and sense the user's finger position. The touch controller 221 converts the analog signal from the capacitive sensing layer into digital coordinates. The touch controller 221 is directly connected to the corresponding peripheral interface of the USB communication chip 211 through a digital signal interface (such as I²C, SPI, USB, UART, etc.) and transmits the digital coordinates to the USB communication chip 211 through the digital signal interface.

[0066] In summary, this intelligent networking terminal integrates a routing module and an Android module. The routing module can be set or queried through the Android module, and the routing module can be operated without the need for other devices. This expands the functionality of the intelligent networking terminal and makes it more convenient and flexible to set or query the routing module, thereby improving the flexibility of the intelligent networking terminal's configuration and operation.

[0068] Specifically, the mobile device 200 can be connected to the Android IC unit 21 in the Android module 20 through an interface, such as a USB interface or an AUX interface, and can also be connected to the Android IC unit 21 in the Android module 20 through the router module 10.

[0069] The mobile device 200 connects to the Android IC unit 21 and establishes a communication connection with the Android IC unit 21 to transmit audio data from the mobile device 200 to the Android IC unit 21. The Android IC unit 21 can display the audio data on the touch unit 22 for user selection, or the Android IC unit 21 can drive the corresponding power amplifier module to play audio.

[0070] The routing module 10 provides network services to the mobile device 200 and the Android module 20. The mobile device 200 can also send audio data to the routing module 10, which then transmits the audio data to the Android IC unit 21 via the first USB interface 101 and the second USB interface 201 for displaying audio data or playing audio.
