Description

A sensorless distribution network method, system, device and medium Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of network communication technology, and in particular to a method, system, device and storage medium for seamless network distribution. Background Art

[0002] For smart home devices without input media such as touch screens, users cannot enter the Wi-Fi password directly on the smart device. Existing network configuration is mainly achieved through the following methods: First, using Bluetooth technology (the smart device connects to the mobile client via Bluetooth and receives the Wi-Fi password entered by the user on the mobile client through the Bluetooth channel). This requires the device to be equipped with an additional Bluetooth or NFC chip module, which increases the hardware cost of the device; second, using NFC near-field communication technology to transmit Wi-Fi information, which also requires the device to be equipped with an additional Bluetooth or NFC chip module, increasing the hardware cost of the device. Third, for devices with microphones, network configuration can be achieved through sound waves, but in environments with relatively high noise, sound wave network configuration may fail to recognize the network. Fourth, for devices with cameras, Wi-Fi information can be received by scanning the QR code information displayed on the mobile client. However, the above methods require the user to enter the Wi-Fi password on the mobile client, and also require the user to enter the service set identifier or require the mobile app to obtain the precise location to obtain the service set identifier of the currently connected Wi-Fi. Its operation convenience and security are not good. Another way to configure the network is to enable the device to act as a Wi-Fi hotspot. This requires the user to set up the phone to connect to the Wi-Fi sent by the smart device as a hotspot. This requires the user to repeatedly switch the Wi-Fi connection in the phone settings, which is complicated. Therefore, there are still technical problems that need to be solved in the related art.

[0038] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings to illustrate the principles and processes of the sensorless network distribution method, system, device and storage medium in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0039] First, let’s explain the terms that appear in this application:

[0040] The SSID (Service Set Identifier) ​​is a key concept in wireless networks. It is a name used to identify a wireless local area network (WLAN). An SSID can be thought of as the name of a wireless network, similar to the network name or router name in a wired network. On a wireless network, devices use the SSID to identify and connect to a specific wireless network. The SSID plays multiple roles in wireless networks, including the following: Identifying a wireless network: Each wireless network has a unique SSID that identifies it. When a device searches for nearby wireless networks, it scans the SSID and displays a list of available networks for the user to choose from. The user can then select the network to connect to based on the SSID. Connecting to a specific wireless network: A device connects to a specific wireless network by entering the correct SSID. Once connected, the device can transmit data and communicate within the network. Restricting wireless network access: By setting the SSID, you can restrict access to the wireless network. For example, a company can set a specific SSID for its internal wireless network and configure an access control list (ACL) to restrict access to only company employees.

[0041] In the related art, for smart home devices that do not have input media such as touch screens, users cannot directly enter the WIFI password on the smart device. The existing network configuration is mainly achieved through the following methods: First, using Bluetooth technology (the smart device is connected to the mobile client via Bluetooth, and receives the WIFI password entered by the user on the mobile client through the Bluetooth channel), which requires the device to be equipped with an additional Bluetooth or NFC chip module, increasing the hardware cost of the device. Second, using NFC near-field communication technology to transmit WIFI information also requires the device to be equipped with an additional Bluetooth or NFC chip module, which increases the hardware cost of the device. Third, for devices with microphones, network configuration can be achieved through sound waves, but in the case of relatively loud ambient noise, there is a problem of recognition failure in sound wave network configuration. Fourth, for devices with cameras, WIFI information can be received by scanning the QR code information displayed on the mobile client. However, the above method requires the user to enter the WIFI password on the mobile client, and at the same time, enter the SSID or require the mobile phone APP to obtain the precise location to obtain the SSID of the currently connected WIFI, which has poor operational convenience and security. Another network configuration method is to enable the device to open a Wi-Fi hotspot as a Wi-Fi hotspot AP. This requires the mobile phone to be connected to the Wi-Fi provided by the smart device as an AP hotspot. This requires the user to repeatedly switch the Wi-Fi connection in the mobile phone settings, which is complicated. Therefore, there are still problems in the related technology that need to be solved urgently.

[0042] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, reference is made to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the steps of a non-sensing network distribution method provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 1, the non-sensing network distribution method may include but is not limited to steps S101-S102.

[0043] S101: In response to a first operation of a user on a smart device and a second operation of the user, notify a gateway to open a temporary WIFI channel so that the smart device is pre-connected to the temporary WIFI channel, and generate display information.

[0044] It is understandable that the first operation can be an operation to power on the smart device and enter the network configuration state. For some smart devices, the network configuration state can be entered by powering on. In this case, the first operation can be a power-on operation, such as connecting a charging plug or turning on the smart device. For some smart devices, after powering on, it is necessary to open a specific page or click a specific button, or press a specific key to enter the network configuration state. In this case, the first operation can be a button click operation, a key press operation, or an operation to open a specific page. The second operation can be the operation corresponding to the user setting the senseless network configuration on the mobile client, which can be opening a certain page, opening an APP, or a certain mobile phone function.

[0045] In some feasible embodiments of the present application, the first operation of powering on the smart terminal to enter the network distribution state and the operation of the user setting the start of the non-sensing network distribution on the mobile client can be detected by the mobile client. When the mobile client detects the first operation and the second operation, it can notify the gateway by sending an instruction. After receiving the instruction, the gateway can open its own temporary WIFI channel, and the smart device can automatically search for a WIFI channel that can be connected after entering the network distribution state. When the temporary WIFI channel opened by the gateway is found, the smart device can pre-connect to the temporary WIFI channel. The pre-connection is not verified by the password or service set identifier. At the same time, after the pre-connection, the smart device will feedback its own identity information to the platform. The platform can forward the identity information to the mobile client, and the mobile client can generate corresponding display information based on the identity information.

[0046] It is understood that the platform can be a server platform or cloud platform that establishes a wired or wireless connection with one or more of the smart devices, gateways, or mobile clients. The displayed information can include the device name, identity information, or image, and can also include virtual button information indicating whether the connection needs to be confirmed.

[0047] It should be noted that the above-mentioned wired connection method may include a connection between a mobile device and a processing module, and may also include a connection between a processing module and a hardware device, as well as a wired connection between other currently known or future-developed devices and the processing module; and the above-mentioned wireless connection method may include but is not limited to 3G / 4G / 5G connection, Bluetooth connection, WiMAX connection, Zigbee connection, UWB (Ultra Wide Band) connection, and other currently known or future-developed wireless connection methods.

[0048] In summary, in this embodiment, a temporary WIFI channel can be opened before the smart device and the gateway are connected to the network. The temporary WIFI channel can only be used for network connection of the smart device, and the WIFI channel is not connected to the Internet, so that the gateway can directly send the Internet SSID or password to the smart device, which can improve the security of the network connection process.

[0049] S102. In response to the third operation performed by the user according to the displayed information, a confirmation instruction is generated and sent to the gateway, so that the gateway sends the Internet access password or service set identifier to the smart device according to the confirmation instruction, and the smart device connects to the target WIFI channel according to the Internet access password.

[0050] It is understandable that the third operation may be the user clicking on the confirmation networking operation displayed on the mobile terminal interface according to the displayed information.

[0051] In some feasible embodiments of the present application, after the user confirms the connection operation according to the displayed information, the mobile client generates a confirmation instruction and sends it to the gateway. The gateway receives and interprets the confirmation instruction and sends the Internet access password and service set identifier to the smart device. The smart device connects to the target Wi-Fi channel based on the Internet access password.

[0052] In summary, the sensorless network configuration method of this embodiment can notify the gateway to open a temporary Wi-Fi channel after the user performs the first and second operations, so that the smart device can pre-connect to the temporary Wi-Fi channel and generate display information. Then, in response to the user's third operation based on the display information, a confirmation instruction is generated and sent to the gateway, so that the gateway sends the Internet access password or service set identifier to the smart device according to the confirmation instruction, and the smart device connects to the target Wi-Fi channel according to the Internet access password. This application does not require the user to enter the Wi-Fi password and SSID, and does not require switching to connect to the mobile phone Wi-Fi during network configuration. The structure and operation implemented by this application are simple, which can improve practicality and reduce resource waste.

[0053] Further, referring to Figure 2, which is a schematic diagram of the steps of another non-sensing network distribution method of the present application, the non-sensing network distribution method may further include, but is not limited to, step S103.

[0054] S103: Forward the network configuration success information reported by the smart device to the user.

[0055] It is understandable that the network configuration success information reported by the smart device can be automatically generated when the smart device is connected to the target WIFI channel according to the Internet access password.

[0056] In some feasible embodiments of the present application, after the user confirms the connection operation according to the displayed information, the mobile client generates a confirmation instruction and sends it to the gateway. The gateway receives and interprets the confirmation instruction and sends the Internet access password and service set identifier to the smart device. The smart device connects to the target Wi-Fi channel based on the Internet access password and then generates a notification message indicating successful network configuration and sends it to the platform. The platform can forward it to the user client, which can then display the successful network configuration information to the user on the screen or broadcast the successful network configuration information to the user by voice.

[0057] Specifically, after the user confirms the connection on the mobile client according to the displayed information, the mobile client generates a confirmation command and sends it to the gateway. The gateway receives and interprets the confirmation command and sends the Internet access password and service set identifier to the smart device. The smart device connects to the target Wi-Fi channel based on the Internet access password and generates a notification message indicating successful network configuration and sends it to the platform. The platform then forwards this notification to the user client, which can then display the successful network configuration information on the screen or announce it to the user via voice.

[0058] In summary, this embodiment can forward the network configuration success information to the user in a timely manner, can promptly notify the user of the network configuration success, and can improve the network configuration efficiency.

[0059] Further, referring to Figure 3, which is a schematic diagram of the steps of another method for seamless network configuration in the present application, in Figure 3, in response to the user's first operation on the smart device and the user's second operation, the step of notifying the gateway to open a temporary Wi-Fi channel may specifically include but is not limited to step S1021.

[0060] S1021. In response to the user's first operation on the smart device and the user's second operation, generate notification information and send it to the platform, so that the platform forwards the notification information to the gateway, and the gateway opens a temporary WIFI channel according to the notification information.

[0061] In some feasible embodiments of the present application, in response to the user's first operation on the smart device and the user's second operation, the mobile client can first generate notification information and send it to the server platform, and then the server platform forwards the notification information to the gateway. After receiving the notification information, the gateway can open a temporary WIFI channel to enable the smart device to pre-connect to the temporary WIFI channel and generate display information.

[0062] Further, referring to Figure 4, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the steps of pre-connecting a smart device to a WIFI channel and generating display information. In Figure 4, the steps may specifically include but are not limited to steps S201 to S203.

[0063] S201, the smart device pre-connects to the WIFI channel and sends the device identity information to the platform;

[0064] S202, the platform forwards the device identity information to the client;

[0065] S203: The client generates display information according to the device identity information.

[0066] It is understood that the device's identity information can be an identification number such as 10002 or 2003, or a picture of the device, which can be a main view or a picture with identity information, or information such as the device's name.

[0067] In some feasible embodiments of the present application, the smart device can pre-connect to the Wi-Fi channel and send its device identity information to the platform. The platform then forwards the received identity information to the mobile client. After receiving the identity information, the mobile client can generate a display message. The content of the display message may be "Device named XXX needs to be connected to Wi-Fi. Do you agree?"

[0068] Specifically, the smart device can pre-connect to the WIFI channel and send device identity information such as 1021 to the platform. After receiving 1021, the platform forwards it to the mobile client. After receiving 1021, the mobile client can generate a display message "1021 needs to connect to WIFI, do you need to agree?"

[0069] In other embodiments, the smart device can pre-connect to a Wi-Fi channel and send its device name, such as home model M10, to the platform. The platform then forwards M10 to the mobile client. Upon receiving M10, the mobile client can generate a message displaying the message "M10 needs to access Wi-Fi. Do you need to agree?" The user can then click to confirm whether to allow the smart device to access Wi-Fi.

[0070] Furthermore, with reference to FIG5 , in some feasible embodiments of the present application, the identity information may include one of the device name, device number, or device picture, or a combination of any two of the three, or all of the three. Specifically, the device's identity information may be an identity number such as 10102 or 2013, or a picture of the device. The picture may be a main view, or a picture with identity information; it may also be information such as the name of the device. In some embodiments, the smart device is pre-connected to a WIFI channel and sends the device identity number to the platform; the platform forwards the device identity number to the client; and the client generates display information based on the identity number. In other embodiments, the smart device is pre-connected to a WIFI channel and sends the device name to the platform; the platform forwards the device name to the client; and the client generates display information based on the device name. In other embodiments, the smart device is pre-connected to a WIFI channel and sends the device picture to the platform; the platform forwards the device picture to the client; and the client generates display information based on the device picture. In other embodiments, the client generates display information based on the device name and device identity number. In other embodiments, the smart device is pre-connected to a WIFI channel and sends a device image and device identification number to the platform; the platform forwards the device image and device identification number to the client; and the client generates display information based on the device image and device identification number. In other embodiments, the smart device is pre-connected to a WIFI channel and sends a device image, device identification number, and device image to the platform; the platform forwards the device image, device identification number, and device image to the client; and the client generates display information based on the device image, device identification number, and device image.

[0071] It is understood that the displayed information can be displayed according to the amount of identity information. For example, if the identity information includes a picture and an identity number, the content of the final displayed information can include the picture and the identity number. If the identity information includes a picture or an identity number, the content of the final displayed information can include one of the picture or the identity number. If the identity information includes a picture, an identity number, and a device name, the content of the final displayed information can include all three of the picture, the identity number, and the device name.

[0072] Further, referring to Figure 6, in some feasible embodiments of the present application, the temporary WIFI channel and the target WIFI channel are the same channel. Specifically, the temporary WIFI channel and the target WIFI channel can be two channels with the same name, password, and other channel parameters. They can be the same channel or two channels with the same name and password.

[0073] The specific implementation principle of this application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0098] In summary, the sensorless network distribution method of this application has the following advantages:

[0099] 1. This application configures a WiFi channel with a specific hidden SSID on the gateway / router. This channel is used to automatically transmit the SSID / password of the official Internet access channel to the smart device without being able to connect to the Internet. This completes the secure and fully automatic transmission of the Internet SSID / password to the smart device.

[0100] 2. The non-sensing network configuration method of this application does not require the user to enter the WIFI password and SSID, and there is no need to switch to connect to the mobile phone WIFI during network configuration, which is simple to operate.

[0101] 3. This application innovatively sets the temporary hotspot and the official hotspot to the same channel. Devices do not need to scan again. After the gateway opens the official SSID, the device can directly connect to the official SSID, which can save network configuration time.

[0102] In addition, referring to FIG9 , corresponding to the method of FIG1 , an embodiment of the present application further provides a sensorless network configuration system, which may include a first processing unit 1001 and a second processing unit 1002. The first processing unit 1002 may, in response to a first operation of a user on a smart device and a second operation of the user, notify a gateway to open a temporary WIFI channel, so that the smart device is pre-connected to the temporary WIFI channel, and generate display information; the second processing unit 1003 may, in response to a third operation performed by the user based on the display information, generate a confirmation instruction and send it to the gateway, so that the gateway sends an Internet access password or a service set identifier to the smart device based on the confirmation instruction, and the smart device is connected to the target WIFI channel based on the Internet access password.

[0103] It should be noted that the acquisition unit can be any integrated circuit unit or microprocessor unit obtained by integrating a chip having processing functions and its peripheral circuits using existing integration technologies. The first processing unit and the second processing unit can also be any integrated circuit module or microprocessor module obtained by integrating a chip having processing functions and its peripheral circuits using existing integration technologies. The first processing unit and the second processing unit can also include one or more memories. One or more memories can be used to store the specific algorithm of this application.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present application, the first unit 1001 and the second processing unit 1002 can be set in the same gateway or a device with a processor. The first processing unit 1001 can respond to the user's first operation on the smart device and the user's second operation to notify the gateway to open a temporary WIFI channel, so that the smart device is pre-connected to the temporary WIFI channel and generate display information. The first processing unit 1002 can respond to the user's third operation performed according to the display information, generate a confirmation instruction and send it to the gateway, so that the gateway sends the Internet access password or service set identifier to the smart device according to the confirmation instruction, and enables the smart device to connect to the target WIFI channel according to the Internet access password. The specific device connection method and device setting of the acquisition unit 1001 and the first processing unit 1002 and the first processing unit 1002 and the second processing unit 1003 are not limited.

[0105] It will be understood that the above-mentioned wired connection method may include a connection between a mobile device and a processing module, and may also include a connection between a processing module and a hardware device, as well as wired connections between other currently known or future developed devices and processing modules; and the above-mentioned wireless connection method may include but is not limited to 3G / 4G / 5G connection, Bluetooth connection, WiMAX connection, Zigbee connection, UWB (Ultra Wide Band) connection, and other currently known or future developed wireless connection methods.

[0106] It is understandable that the first operation can be an operation to power on the smart device and enter the network configuration state. For some smart devices, the network configuration state can be entered by powering on. In this case, the first operation can be a power-on operation, such as connecting a charging plug or turning on the smart device. For some smart devices, after powering on, it is necessary to open a specific page or click a specific button, or press a specific key to enter the network configuration state. In this case, the first operation can be a button click operation, a key press operation, or an operation to open a specific page. The second operation can be the operation corresponding to the user setting the senseless network configuration on the mobile client, which can be opening a certain page, opening an APP, or a certain mobile phone function.

[0107] In some feasible embodiments of the present application, the first operation of powering on the smart terminal to enter the network distribution state and the operation of the user setting the start of the non-sensing network distribution on the mobile client can be detected by the mobile client. When the mobile client detects the first operation and the second operation, it can notify the gateway by sending an instruction. After receiving the instruction, the gateway can open its own temporary WIFI channel, and the smart device can automatically search for a WIFI channel that can be connected after entering the network distribution state. When the temporary WIFI channel opened by the gateway is found, the smart device can pre-connect to the temporary WIFI channel. The pre-connection is not verified by the password or service set identifier. At the same time, after the pre-connection, the smart device will feedback its own identity information to the platform. The platform can forward the identity information to the mobile client, and the mobile client can generate corresponding display information based on the identity information.

[0108] It should be noted that the platform can be a server platform or cloud platform that establishes a wired or wireless connection with one or more of the smart devices, gateways, or mobile clients. The displayed information can include the device name, identity information, or image, and can also include a virtual button indicating whether the connection needs to be confirmed.

[0109] It is understandable that the third operation may be the user clicking on the confirmation networking operation displayed on the mobile terminal interface according to the displayed information.

[0110] In some feasible embodiments of the present application, after the user confirms the connection operation according to the displayed information, the mobile client generates a confirmation instruction and sends it to the gateway. The gateway receives and interprets the confirmation instruction and sends the Internet access password and service set identifier to the smart device. The smart device connects to the target Wi-Fi channel based on the Internet access password.

[0111] In summary, the senseless network configuration method implemented by this system embodiment can notify the gateway to open a temporary Wi-Fi channel after the user performs the first and second operations, so that the smart device can pre-connect to the temporary Wi-Fi channel and generate display information. Then, in response to the user performing the third operation based on the display information, a confirmation instruction is generated and sent to the gateway, so that the gateway sends the Internet access password or service set identifier to the smart device according to the confirmation instruction, and the smart device connects to the target Wi-Fi channel according to the Internet access password. This application does not require the user to enter the Wi-Fi password and SSID, and does not require switching to connect to the mobile phone Wi-Fi during network configuration. The structure and operation implemented by this application are simple, which can improve practicality and reduce resource waste.

[0112] Furthermore, the system-free network configuration system may further include a forwarding unit 1003. The forwarding unit 1003 may be connected to the second processing unit 1002 via a wired or wireless connection. The forwarding unit 1003 may be integrated with the first processing unit 1001 and the second processing unit 1002 in a mobile client.

[0113] It should be noted that the above-mentioned wired connection method may include a connection between a mobile device and a processing module, and may also include a connection between a processing module and a hardware device, as well as a wired connection between other currently known or future-developed devices and the processing module; and the above-mentioned wireless connection method may include but is not limited to 3G / 4G / 5G connection, Bluetooth connection, WiMAX connection, Zigbee connection, UWB (Ultra Wide Band) connection, and other currently known or future-developed wireless connection methods.

[0114] It is understandable that the network configuration success information reported by the smart device can be automatically generated when the smart device is connected to the target WIFI channel according to the Internet access password.

[0115] In some feasible embodiments of the present application, after the user confirms the connection operation according to the displayed information, the mobile client generates a confirmation instruction and sends it to the gateway. The gateway receives and interprets the confirmation instruction and sends the Internet access password and service set identifier to the smart device. The smart device connects to the target Wi-Fi channel based on the Internet access password and then generates a notification message indicating successful network configuration and sends it to the platform. The platform can forward it to the user client, which can then display the successful network configuration information to the user on the screen or announce the successful network configuration to the user through voice.

[0116] Specifically, after the user confirms the connection on the mobile client according to the displayed information, the mobile client generates a confirmation command and sends it to the gateway. The gateway receives and interprets the confirmation command and sends the Internet access password and service set identifier to the smart device. The smart device connects to the target Wi-Fi channel based on the Internet access password and generates a notification message indicating successful network configuration and sends it to the platform. The platform then forwards this notification to the user client, which can then display the successful network configuration information on the screen or announce it to the user via voice.

[0117] Corresponding to the method of FIG1 , the embodiment of the present application further provides a sensorless network distribution device, the specific structure of which can be referred to FIG10 , including:

[0118] at least one processor 1011;

[0119] at least one memory 1012, configured to store at least one program;

[0120] When the at least one program is executed by the at least one processor, the at least one processor implements the sensorless network configuration method.

[0121] In summary, the senseless network configuration method implemented by the present device embodiment can notify the gateway to open a temporary WIFI channel after the user performs the first and second operations, so that the smart device can be pre-connected to the temporary WIFI channel and generate display information. Then, in response to the user performing the third operation based on the display information, a confirmation instruction is generated and sent to the gateway, so that the gateway sends the Internet access password or service set identifier to the smart device according to the confirmation instruction, and the smart device is connected to the target WIFI channel according to the Internet access password. This application does not require the user to enter the WIFI password and SSID, and does not require switching to connect to the mobile phone WIFI during network configuration. The structure and operation implemented by this application are simple, which can improve practicality and reduce resource waste.

[0122] Corresponding to the method of FIG1 , an embodiment of the present application further provides a computer-readable storage medium storing processor-executable instructions, which are used to execute the sensorless network configuration method when executed by the processor.

[0123] In summary, the senseless network configuration method stored in the storage medium embodiment can notify the gateway to open a temporary WIFI channel after the user performs the first and second operations, so that the smart device is pre-connected to the temporary WIFI channel and generates display information. Then, in response to the third operation performed by the user based on the display information, a confirmation instruction is generated and sent to the gateway, so that the gateway sends the Internet access password or service set identifier to the smart device according to the confirmation instruction, and the smart device is connected to the target WIFI channel according to the Internet access password. This application does not require the user to enter the WIFI password and SSID, and does not need to switch to connect to the mobile phone WIFI during network configuration. The structure implemented by this application is simple and the operation is simple, which can improve practicality and reduce resource waste.
