[0026] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0027] It should be noted that in the present disclosure, the words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to represent as an example, illustration or description. Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplarily" or "for example" in the present disclosure shall not be interpreted as more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes in the present disclosure. Rather, the words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" are intended to present the relevant concept in a specific manner.

[0028] Hereinafter, the terms "first", "second", and the like are used only for descriptive purposes, and shall not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second", and the like can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0029] In the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the symbol " / " represents the relationship of "or", for example, A / B can represent A or B. "And / or" in the present disclosure only represents a description of the association object, which means that there can be three kinds of relationships, for example, A and / or B can represent: only A, only B, and A and B. In addition, "at least one" means one or more, and "multiple" means two or more.

[0030] With the advancement of home intelligence, connecting intelligent terminals (or referred to as home devices) to a home network can bring users a more intelligent experience. The process of connecting intelligent terminals to a home network is referred to as the network configuration process of intelligent terminals.

[0031] Currently, multiple routing devices are included in a home network, and different routing devices can access different numbers of terminals. After the number of terminals accessed by a routing device exceeds a limit, the routing device will not be able to provide reliable network services for the terminals; in addition, the home network corresponds to multiple areas, and each routing device is distributed in a different area, and intelligent terminals are also distributed in different areas. Since the network service quality provided by a routing device in one area for intelligent terminals in different areas is different, the matching between the area where an intelligent terminal is located and the area where a routing device is located also needs to be considered when network configuration is performed.

[0032] In addition, there are different types of intelligent terminals and routing devices, and an intelligent terminal needs to access a routing device that matches the type of the intelligent terminal.

[0033] However, the network configuration process given in some technologies only includes how an intelligent terminal accesses a routing device. After the terminal is configured, the routing device corresponding to the terminal can not match the terminal or can be overloaded, and there is a problem that the routing device corresponding to the terminal after network configuration cannot provide good network services for the terminal, and the effectiveness of network configuration is poor.

[0034] To solve the above technical problems, the disclosure embodiment provides a network configuration method, which is applied to a management device of a target network, and the target network includes multiple routing devices. The network configuration method includes: after the management device and a device to be configured establish a connection, obtaining a network configuration request message of the device to be configured, wherein the network configuration request message includes device information of the device to be configured; determining a target routing device from the multiple routing devices based on the device information of the device to be configured and a preset network configuration rule, wherein the target routing device is a routing device that the device to be configured can access; and sending a network configuration response message to the device to be configured, wherein the network configuration response message includes access information of the target routing device. In this way, by using the preset network configuration rule, the routing device that the device to be configured can access can be accurately determined from the multiple routing devices. Therefore, the routing device accessed by the device to be configured can provide reliable network services for the device to be configured, and the reliability and effectiveness of the network configuration process are improved.

[0101] S702, determining a target routing device from the plurality of routing devices based on the device information of the device to be commissioned and a preset commissioning rule.

[0102] The target routing device is a routing device accessible to the device to be commissioned.

[0103] In some embodiments, the preset commissioning rule includes one or more of the following:

[0104] The target routing device is closest to the device to be commissioned;

[0105] The target routing device matches the device type of the device to be commissioned;

[0106] The target routing device meets the network quality requirement.

[0107] Exemplarily, the management device stores the positions of the plurality of routing devices respectively; the management device can determine the distances between the plurality of routing devices and the device to be commissioned based on the position of the device to be commissioned and the positions of the plurality of routing devices respectively, and determine the routing device with the smallest distance as the target routing device. In the case where there are more than two routing devices with the smallest distance from the device to be commissioned, the more than two routing devices are determined as the target routing device; or a preset number (such as 1) of routing devices are randomly selected from the more than two routing devices, and determined as the target routing device.

[0108] Exemplarily, the management device stores the device types of the devices to be commissioned respectively matched by the plurality of routing devices, and one routing device can provide network access service for the device to be commissioned matched with the routing device. The management device can determine the routing device matched with the device type of the device to be commissioned (i.e., the routing device that can provide network access service for the device to be commissioned of the device type) as the target routing device based on the device type of the device to be commissioned.

[0109] Exemplarily, the management device stores in the management device a plurality of network quality parameters corresponding to each of the plurality of routing devices at each position in the space. The network quality parameter corresponding to each of the plurality of routing devices at each position in the space is used to indicate the network quality when the routing device is able to provide network service for the to-be-commissioned device at the position. The management device determines the target routing device based on the network quality parameter corresponding to each of the plurality of routing devices at each position in the space, the position of the to-be-commissioned device, and the expected network quality parameter.

[0110] In some embodiments, the preset commissioning rule further includes that the sum of the number of the accessed devices of the target routing device and the number of the to-be-commissioned devices is less than or equal to the number threshold of the target routing device.

[0111] Exemplarily, the management device stores in the management device a plurality of network quality parameters corresponding to each of the plurality of routing devices at each position in the space. The network quality parameter corresponding to each of the plurality of routing devices at each position in the space is used to indicate the network quality when the routing device is able to provide network service for the to-be-commissioned device at the position. The management device determines the target routing device based on the network quality parameter corresponding to each of the plurality of routing devices at each position in the space, the position of the to-be-commissioned device, and the expected network quality parameter.

[0112] In some embodiments, in a case where the preset commissioning rule includes any two or more of the following: the target routing device is closest to the to-be-commissioned device, the target routing device matches the device type of the to-be-commissioned device, the target routing device meets the network quality requirement, and the sum of the number of the accessed devices of the target routing device and the number of the to-be-commissioned devices is less than or equal to the number threshold of the target routing device, the management device stores in the management device related information corresponding to the preset commissioning rule; and the management device can determine the target routing device based on the related information corresponding to the preset commissioning rule and the device information of the to-be-commissioned device.

[0113] Exemplarily, assuming that the preset commissioning rule includes a first preset commissioning rule and a second preset commissioning rule, the management device can determine a set of routing devices satisfying the first preset commissioning rule and a set of routing devices satisfying the second preset commissioning rule based on the first preset commissioning rule and the second preset commissioning rule, and determine a routing device in an intersection between the set of routing devices satisfying the first preset commissioning rule and the set of routing devices satisfying the second preset commissioning rule as the target routing device.

[0114] For example, it is assumed that the preset network configuration rule includes that the target routing device is closest to the device to be configured, and the target routing device matches the device type of the device to be configured. At this time, the management device stores the positions of the plurality of routing devices and the device types of the devices to be configured matched by the plurality of routing devices respectively. The management device determines the distances between the plurality of routing devices and the device to be configured based on the position of the device to be configured and the positions of the plurality of routing devices, and determines the routing device with the minimum distance as the first routing device (the first routing device can include multiple routing devices). The management device determines the second routing device matching the device type of the device to be configured based on the device type of the device to be configured. The management device determines the same routing device in the first routing device and the second routing device as the target routing device.

[0115] In some embodiments, it is assumed that the preset network configuration rule includes a third network configuration rule and a fourth network configuration rule. The management device can determine a candidate device to be configured satisfying the third network configuration rule based on the third network configuration rule, and determine the target routing device from the candidate device to be configured based on the fourth network configuration rule.

[0116] For example, it is assumed that the preset network configuration rule includes that the target routing device is closest to the device to be configured, and the target routing device matches the device type of the device to be configured. At this time, the management device stores the positions of the plurality of routing devices and the device types of the devices to be configured matched by the plurality of routing devices respectively. The management device can determine the routing devices matching the device type of the device to be configured based on the device type of the device to be configured. The management device can determine the distances between the device to be configured and each routing device matching the device type of the device to be configured based on the position of the device to be configured and the positions of the routing devices matching the device type of the device to be configured, and determine the routing device matching the device type of the device to be configured with the minimum distance as the target routing device.

[0117] It should be noted that, referring to the process of determining the target routing device described in the above embodiment in which the preset network configuration rule includes two network configuration rules, the process of determining the target routing device by the management device based on the preset network configuration rule including more than two network configuration rules can be obtained accordingly.

[0118] In some embodiments, the device types of the devices to be configured matched by the plurality of routing devices respectively, the expected network quality parameters, and the quantity thresholds corresponding to the plurality of routing devices respectively can be preset.

[0119] For example, the management device can determine the device types of the devices to be configured matched by the plurality of routing devices, the expected network quality parameters, or the quantity thresholds corresponding to the plurality of routing devices in response to the input of the user.

[0120] In some embodiments, the device type of the to-be-configured device, the expected network quality parameter, and the quantity threshold corresponding to each of the plurality of routing devices are referred to as configuration parameters.

[0121] In some embodiments, the management device prompts the user to set the configuration parameters when the user does not set the configuration parameters.

[0122] In some embodiments, the configuration parameters further include information of a legal routing device. The information of the legal routing device is used for the to-be-configured device to identify a trusted routing device in the environment, so as to avoid the to-be-configured device from accessing a non-trusted routing device (or referred to as a non-trusted hotspot, i.e., a hotspot corresponding to a non-trusted routing device) or being interfered by the non-trusted routing device. The to-be-configured device can filter a list of routing devices around the to-be-configured device according to a filtering mechanism based on the information of the legal routing device.

[0123] In some embodiments, the routing device can include a plurality of wireless access points, and the information of the legal routing device included in the configuration parameters can be information of a legal wireless access point. One wireless access point can correspond to one wireless network or one hotspot.

[0124] In some embodiments, the target routing device includes a primary routing device and a backup routing device, and the connection priority of the primary routing device is higher than that of the backup routing device. The connection priority is used to represent the order of establishing a connection with the to-be-configured device. In this way, after the to-be-configured device accesses the target network based on the primary routing device, if the primary routing device fails, the to-be-configured device can access the target network through the backup routing device, thereby enhancing the robustness of the to-be-configured device accessing the target network and improving the reliability of the configuration.

[0125] S703, sending a configuration response message to the to-be-configured device.

[0126] The configuration response message includes access information of the target routing device.

[0127] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the management device determines the target routing device accessible by the to-be-configured device from the plurality of routing devices based on the device information of the to-be-configured device and the preset configuration rule, and sends the access information of the target routing device to the to-be-configured device. In this way, the to-be-configured device can access the target routing device, and since the target routing device is determined by the management device based on the device information of the to-be-configured device and the preset configuration rule, the to-be-configured device can access the routing device capable of providing reliable network service from the plurality of routing devices, thereby improving the reliability and effectiveness of the configuration process.

[0128] In addition, since the automatic network configuration can be performed by the management device in the network configuration process, the use threshold of the user is reduced, and the network configuration is realized without feeling. In the smart home scene, the smart home device of the user can be increased in batches, and the automatic network configuration of a large number of smart home devices can be realized by the network configuration method, and the experience of the user is improved.

[0129] In some embodiments, the access information of the target routing device includes one or more of the following: a network name (or identifier) of the target routing device, a network password of the target routing device, and packet filtering information of the target routing device.

[0130] In some embodiments, the management device determines the access information of the target routing device in response to a user access information input operation.

[0131] In some embodiments, the network configuration service application is deployed on the management device, and the management device completes the network configuration method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure based on the network configuration service application.

[0132] In some embodiments, when the network configuration service application on the management device is run for the first time, the management device prompts the user to set the network configuration parameters.

[0133] In some embodiments, the device information of the device to be configured includes a device identifier of the device to be configured; before determining the target routing device from the plurality of routing devices based on the device information of the device to be configured and the preset network configuration rule, in combination with the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, as shown in FIG. 8, the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure further includes S801-S802.

[0134] S801, compare whether the device identifier of the device to be configured in the network configuration request message is consistent with the pre-stored device identifier.

[0135] In some embodiments, the management device can scan and obtain the device identifier of the device to be configured based on the near field communication (NFC) function of the management device.

[0136] In some embodiments, the management device can obtain the device identifier of the device to be configured by recognizing a two-dimensional code pasted on the device to be configured through a two-dimensional code scanning function.

[0137] In some embodiments, the pre-stored device identifier in the management device is the identifier of a device with network configuration permission.

[0138] In some embodiments, the pre-stored device identifier in the management device can be input by the user.

[0139] S802, in response to determining that the device identifier of the device to be commissioned in the commissioning request message is consistent with the pre-stored device identifier, granting the device to be commissioned the commissioning permission.

[0140] It should be understood that the device identifier of the device to be commissioned is consistent with the pre-stored device identifier, which means that there is no security risk in accessing the target network for the device to be commissioned. At this time, the management device grants the device to be commissioned the commissioning permission, allowing the management device to commission the device to be commissioned or allowing the access information to be sent to the device to be commissioned, thereby ensuring the security of the commissioning process.

[0141] In some embodiments, the device identifier is also referred to as an identifier (ID).

[0142] In some embodiments, in response to determining that the device identifier of the device to be commissioned is inconsistent with the pre-stored device identifier, the management device sends a commissioning exception message to the device to be commissioned, prompting the device to be commissioned as an abnormal device, so as to avoid commissioning the device to be commissioned with security risks.

[0143] In an implementation manner, in combination with the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, as shown in FIG. 9, the method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure further includes S901-S902:

[0144] S901, obtaining the report information sent by each routing device in the management device.

[0145] The report information sent by the routing device includes the state information of the routing device itself and / or the state information of the commissioned device connected to the routing device.

[0146] In some embodiments, the management device sends an information reporting message to each routing device; after the routing device receives the information reporting message, the routing device sends the report information to the management device.

[0147] In some embodiments, in response to the user inputting an operation of determining the mobile terminal as the management device on the mobile terminal, the management device, i.e., the mobile terminal, sends an information reporting message to each routing device; after the routing device receives the information reporting message, the routing device sends the report information to the management device.

[0148] S902, determining the network topology of the target network based on the report information sent by each routing device in the management device, and displaying a visual interface of the network topology of the target network.

[0149] The visual interface at least includes icons of each routing device in the target network and / or icons of the commissioned devices connected to each routing device.

[0150] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the management device determines the network topology of the target network based on the report information sent by each routing device in the management device, displays a visual interface of the network topology of the target network, and can visually display the network topology of the target network, so that the user can intuitively and conveniently view the devices in the target network and the device information of the devices (or the networking situation of the target network), thereby improving the user experience.

[0151] In some embodiments, the visual interface further includes a visual icon of a wireless access point under the target network. The wireless access point can be a wireless access point of the routing device, and one routing device can include multiple wireless access points.

[0152] In some embodiments, the target network is a home network, and the visual interface further includes a house type diagram corresponding to the home network. The management device displays the visual interface based on the relative positions of one or more of the plurality of routing devices, the to-be-configured device, and the wireless access point in the house type diagram.

[0153] In some embodiments, the management device displays the to-be-configured device in the form of a list.

[0154] In some embodiments, the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure further includes: in response to the state information of the already-configured device including fault alarm information, the visual interface further includes an icon for representing that the already-configured device has a fault alarm.

[0155] In one implementation, in combination with the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, as shown in FIG. 10, the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure further includes S1001-S1002.

[0156] S1001, in response to an instruction of the user changing the connected routing device for the already-configured device in the visual interface, determining a new routing device to which the already-configured device is connected.

[0157] It should be understood that the already-configured device is a device that has completed configuration in the target network, and the already-configured device has an accessible routing device. The new routing device to which the already-configured device is connected is a new routing device accessible to the already-configured device determined by the management device from routing devices other than the accessible routing device allocated to the already-configured device in the previous configuration process.

[0158] In some embodiments, the instruction of the user changing the connected routing device for the already-configured device in the visual interface can be implemented in the following manner: the user drags the icon of the already-configured device to a preset range of the icon of the new routing device.

[0159] S1002, sending access information of the new routing device to the already-configured device.

[0160] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the user can change the instruction of the connected routing device for the already-configured device in the visual interface, so that the already-configured device obtains the access information of the new accessible routing device. In this way, the user can complete the update of the accessible routing device of the already-configured device through the quick and simple operation on the visual interface, and the user experience is improved.

[0161] In some embodiments, in response to the instruction of the user removing the routing device connected by the already-configured device in the visual interface, the management device sends a disconnection message to the routing device connected by the already-configured device, and the disconnection message is used to instruct the routing device connected by the already-configured device to disconnect with the already-configured device, so that the routing device connected by the already-configured device is disconnected; or the management device sends a delete access information message to the already-configured device, and the delete access information message is used to instruct the already-configured device to delete the access information of the routing device connected by the already-configured device, so that the already-configured device does not automatically connect to the routing device connected by the already-configured device.

[0162] In some embodiments, in combination with the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, as shown in FIG. 11, the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure further includes S1101-S1103.

[0163] S1101, receiving a control instruction input by a user.

[0164] The control instruction includes a voice instruction or a text instruction or a gesture instruction.

[0165] S1102, performing intent conversion on the control instruction to obtain a user operation intent.

[0166] The user operation intent is used to indicate a plurality of already-configured devices expected to be operated in linkage by the user and respective control instructions of the plurality of already-configured devices.

[0167] S1103, respectively sending, to each of the plurality of already-configured devices, a control instruction corresponding to the already-configured device.

[0168] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the user operation intent is obtained by performing intent conversion on the control instruction input by the user. Since the user operation intent can indicate the plurality of already-configured devices expected to be operated in linkage by the user and the respective control instructions of the plurality of already-configured devices, the management device respectively sends, to each of the plurality of already-configured devices corresponding to the user operation intent, a control instruction corresponding to the already-configured device. In this way, compared with the user inputting the control instruction for each of the already-configured devices due to the user's own needs, the user operation is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

[0169] In some embodiments, the target network is a smart home network, and the control instruction includes a voice instruction, so that the user can control the smart home network through voice chat or chat mode in the form of a large language model (LLM), such as chatGPT, thereby improving the user's operation experience.

[0170] In some embodiments, the management device identifies the user operation intention based on a local identification model and a cloud identification model (or based on local AI computing power, cloud AI computing power, and natural language processing algorithms or large language model algorithms).

[0171] For example, the user's voice instruction or text instruction is "I need to rest in the bedroom for 30 minutes", and the management device can generate a linkage control instruction based on the instruction to control the bedroom curtains to close, adjust the light, play soothing music, adjust the air conditioner temperature to a temperature range suitable for sleeping, and adjust the smart alarm clock to set a time. In this way, the user is prepared for rest in a suitable environment, and the complexity of controlling smart home devices is simplified.

[0172] In some embodiments, the association between the user operation intention and the control requirement can be pre-trained through an algorithm from the user operation intention to the device control, and the control instruction corresponding to the user operation intention can be generated according to the device information, online state, and physical model file of the smart home device in the target network.

[0173] In some embodiments, since the smart home devices in the target network can increase or decrease, the model in the management device for generating control instructions of the already-configured devices based on the user operation intention should also have the ability to interact with the user and learn. Through interaction with the user, the understanding of the user operation intention is improved, and the number or type of already-configured devices corresponding to the generated control instructions is increased or decreased, thereby providing the user with more intelligent and personalized artificial intelligence services and whole-house smart experience.

[0174] For example, the training process of the model for generating control instructions based on the user operation intention provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes data preparation (pre-training), supervised pre-training, human feedback reinforcement learning, model evaluation, and model deployment.

[0175] In some embodiments, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of another network configuration method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. The network configuration method is applied to a management device and includes S1201-S1207.

[0176] S1201, in response to the user running a smart home network configuration application on the management device and the network configuration parameters being empty, prompting the user to set the network configuration parameters.

[0177] S1202, in response to the user's setting operation on the network parameter, determine the network parameter.

[0178] S1203, start the network service and the network hot spot.

[0179] S1204, after the to-be-networked device is connected to the network hot spot, obtain the identity of the to-be-networked device.

[0180] In some embodiments, the network service follows a distributed service architecture and runs in the background, waiting for the device automatically discovered and connected to the network hot spot to send a network request message (or a service request for synchronizing the network parameter) to the management device, which meets the interface standard of the network service of the distributed service architecture.

[0181] S1205, based on the identity of the to-be-networked device, authenticate and identify whether the to-be-networked device is a legal device.

[0182] In some embodiments, after the management device detects the network request message, the user can be prompted to discover the to-be-networked device with network demand (exemplarily, a pop-up box can be prompted); and in response to the user's authorization operation, the to-be-networked device is granted network permission. Thus, the user authorizes whether to allow network.

[0183] In some embodiments, the user can authorize single device, batch authorization or default authorization.

[0184] In some embodiments, after the to-be-networked device is authorized, the management device records the authorization information through the network service and synchronizes the recorded authorization information to each to-be-networked device allowed to network through the service interface of the distributed service architecture.

[0185] S1206, in the case that the to-be-networked device is a legal device, send a network response message in a preset format to the to-be-networked device.

[0186] In some embodiments, the network response message is sent through the service interface of the distributed service architecture.

[0187] S1207, based on the list, display the network result.

[0188] In some embodiments, in response to the user's network determination operation, determine that the network is ended.

[0189] In some embodiments, in response to the user's network determination operation, the management device records the network information of this network through the network service and synchronizes the recorded network information to the routing device corresponding to the network information through the service interface of the distributed service architecture.

[0190] In some embodiments, after receiving the network configuration information, the routing device performs integrity check on the network configuration information, and stores (or records) the network configuration information on the device.

[0191] In some embodiments, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of another network configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The network configuration method is applied to a device to be configured, and includes S1301-S1305.

[0192] S1301, entering a network configuration state and scanning for a name of a network configuration hotspot in the surrounding environment.

[0193] In some embodiments, the device to be configured enters the network configuration state by starting a preset network configuration service client.

[0194] In some embodiments, the network configuration service client complies with a service interface specification of a distributed service architecture, which specifies a service request interface and a response interface for obtaining network configuration parameters. The request message that can be sent by the request interface includes one or more of the following parameters: device name, device ID, required network configuration data type, network bandwidth requirement, etc. The response message that can be received by the response interface includes one or more of the following parameters: connectable WIFI parameters, maximum number of connectable devices, etc.

[0198] In some embodiments, when the device to be configured fails to connect to the network configuration hotspot, an alarm message is displayed. At this time, the user can reset the device to be configured to re-enter the network configuration state. In the network configuration state, the management device can obtain a network configuration failure log on the device to be configured and display the network configuration failure log to present the reason for the hotspot connection failure to the user.

[0199] S1304, based on network configuration information in the network configuration response message, scanning for a routing device in the surrounding environment.

[0200] S1305, in a case where the routing device corresponding to the network configuration information exists, disconnecting from the network configuration hotspot, ending the network configuration mode, entering a normal working mode, and accessing the routing device.

[0201] In some embodiments, after receiving the network configuration information, the device to be configured performs integrity check on the network configuration information, and stores (or records) the network configuration information on the device.
