Detailed ways

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

In this embodiment of the present application, a device connection method is provided, which can be applied in a scenario where a terminal device supporting two short-range communication methods establishes a connection with a gateway device. Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a device connection method in this embodiment of the present application. A schematic diagram of an application scenario, as shown in FIG. 1 , in an embodiment of the present application, the application scenario of the present application includes a terminal device 101 , a first gateway device 102 , a second gateway device 103 , a control terminal 104 and a server 105 . The terminal device includes at least a first short-range communication module and a second short-range communication module, that is, the terminal device supports at least two different short-range communication modes. Terminal devices can be smart sensors, surveillance cameras, smart door locks, smart cat eyes, electronic watches, bluetooth speakers, smart sockets, sweeping robots, air purifiers, humidifiers, vehicle terminals and other devices. There is no specific device type here. The control terminal may include, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and the like.

The first short-range communication method and the second short-range communication method are two different communication methods.

Preferably, the first short-range communication method is ZigBee, and the second short-range communication method is Bluetooth.

Optionally, the first short-range communication method can also be Z-Ware, LoRa, NarrowBand Internet of Things (NB-IOT), etc., and the second short-range communication method can also be Matter (is a Smart Home Open Source Standards Project).

Optionally, the terminal device 101 does not include a WIFI module, so it cannot be connected to the Internet to realize data transmission with the server 105, and needs to be connected to the first gateway device 102 or the second gateway device 103 or the control terminal 104, and then realize the communication with the server. Data transfer between 105.

In the case where the terminal device supports two short-range communication methods, although it can establish a connection with the gateway device and transmit data through the two short-range communication methods, the power consumption of the terminal device is relatively high due to the simultaneous operation of the two short-range communication methods. . The present application detects the first broadcast message of the first short-range communication according to a certain time interval by scheduling the two kinds of short-range communication, and sends the second broadcast message of the second short-range communication, and the second broadcast message of the second short-range communication is not received within the preset time In the case of the first broadcast message, the time interval for detecting the first broadcast message is extended, and the purpose of supporting two short-range communication modes and reducing power consumption is achieved through a dynamic scheduling method. The method provided by the present application will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 .

Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a schematic flowchart of a device connection method in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2 , the device connection method provided by this embodiment includes:

201. Detect the first broadcast message of the first short-range communication according to the first time interval, and send the second broadcast message of the second short-range communication.

The first time interval is preset, the time interval is short, and the terminal device detects the first broadcast message of the first short-range communication at a relatively high frequency to ensure that the broadcast message can be detected in a short period of time. device of. For example, the first time interval may be set to 1 second.

The first broadcast message of the first short-range communication is a broadcast message sent by other devices through the first short-range communication manner, so that the terminal device can discover these devices in time through the first broadcast message.

In the case of detecting the first broadcast message of the first short-range communication, the terminal device also sends the second broadcast message through its second short-range communication module.

Optionally, the present application does not limit the time interval for sending the second broadcast message, which may be the same as or different from the first time interval.

Optionally, the second broadcast message includes data to be sent by the terminal device and a unique identifier of the terminal device. For example, the unique identifier may be the media access control address (Media Access Control Address, MAC address) of the terminal device.

202. Within the first preset time period, in the case that the first broadcast message is not detected and the connection request for the second broadcast message is not received, extend the first time interval according to a preset rule.

Within the first preset time period, the terminal device detects the first broadcast message according to the first time interval. In some possible implementations, if the first preset duration is 1 minute and the first time interval is 1 second, then in the first 1 minute, the terminal device will broadcast the first broadcast signal at a frequency of once per second test.

If the terminal device does not detect the first broadcast message sent by the other device within the first preset time period, and does not receive the second broadcast message sent by the other device after detecting the second broadcast message sent by the terminal device within the first preset time period. For the connection request sent by the terminal device, the time interval for detecting the first broadcast message will be extended according to the preset rule.

Further, the preset rule is an extension rule of the preset first time interval. Optionally, the rule can be a multiple extension. For example, if the original first time interval is 1 second, the terminal device detects the first broadcast message every 1 second; the interval after the first extension is 2 seconds, and the terminal device The first broadcast message is detected once every 2 seconds; the interval after the second extension is 4 seconds, the terminal device detects the first broadcast message every 4 seconds, and the subsequent time interval is gradually increased according to this rule. Optionally, the rule can be an arithmetic extension. For example, if the original first time interval is 1 second, the terminal device detects the first broadcast message every 1 second; the interval after the first extension is 5 seconds, and the terminal device detects the first broadcast message every 1 second. The first broadcast message is detected every 5 seconds; the interval after the second extension is 9 seconds, the terminal device detects the first broadcast message every 9 seconds, and the subsequent time interval is gradually increased according to this rule. The rule may also include other extension methods, which are not limited here. Extending the first time interval for detecting the first broadcast message of the first short-range communication through the preset rule can effectively reduce power consumption.

Optionally, when the first time interval is extended to its upper limit according to the preset rule, the detection frequency of the first broadcast message by the terminal device reaches a lower level. For example, when the first time interval reaches the upper limit, the detection frequency of the first broadcast message by the terminal device is 4 times a day, that is, the upper limit of the first time interval is 6 hours. Optionally, when the first time interval reaches the upper limit, if the first broadcast message is not detected, the upper limit of the first time interval will always be maintained. Optionally, after the first time interval reaches the upper limit for a period of time, the first time interval will be reset. For example, when the first time interval in a certain day reaches the upper limit, the first time interval will be automatically reset from 0:00 the next day to detect the first broadcast message.

Optionally, if the connection between the terminal device and the first gateway device is disconnected or if the terminal device is restarted, step 201 of the connection method is restarted, that is, the first broadcast message of the first short-range communication is detected according to the first time interval. , and send a second broadcast message of the second short-range communication. When restarting step 201 of the method for connecting the device, the first time interval is also reset.

Optionally, if the server finds that a new first gateway device is added to the user account, it will notify the user to restart the terminal device through the control terminal, so as to restart the execution of step 201 of the method for connecting this device, and establish a connection with the first gateway device. .

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the power consumption of the terminal device for detecting the first broadcast message in the first short-range communication mode is greater than the power consumption for sending the second broadcast message in the second short-range communication mode, and then by extending the power consumption of the second broadcast message. The first time interval for detecting the first broadcast message can further reduce the power consumption of the terminal device.

203. Within the first preset time period, when only the first broadcast message is detected, send a connection request to the first gateway device that sends the first broadcast message, so as to establish a connection with the first gateway device through the first short-range communication .

In some possible implementations, if the terminal device only detects the first broadcast message, but does not detect a connection request sent by other devices to the terminal device after detecting the second broadcast message sent by the terminal device, send the connection request to the terminal device. The first gateway device that sends the first broadcast message sends a connection request, so as to establish a connection with the first gateway device through the first short-range communication, so as to transmit data and/or instructions.

204. Within the first preset time period, in the case where the first broadcast message is detected and a connection request for the second broadcast message is received, send a connection request to the first gateway device that sent the first broadcast message, so as to pass the first broadcast message. The short-range communication establishes a connection with the first gateway device.

In some possible implementations, if the terminal device detects the first broadcast message and receives a connection request sent by another device for the second broadcast message, it will respond to the first broadcast message preferentially, and send the first broadcast message to the device that sent the first broadcast message. The first gateway device sends a connection request. For example, when the first short-range communication method is ZigBee and the second short-range communication method is Bluetooth, ZigBee has lower power consumption and longer transmission distance than Bluetooth. Therefore, the ZigBee method is preferred to establish a connection, which is beneficial to reduce power consumption and improve performance.

The following describes several situations in which the first broadcast message is detected and a connection request for the second broadcast message is received within the first preset duration:

(1) In a first possible implementation manner, within the first preset duration, the terminal device first receives a connection request for the second broadcast message, temporarily does not process it, and continues to detect the first broadcast message, the first preset After receiving the first broadcast message within a set time period, a connection request for the first broadcast message is sent.

(2) In a second possible implementation manner, within the first preset time period, once the terminal device detects the first broadcast message, it sends a connection request for the first broadcast message. During the connection process, even if a connection request for the second broadcast message is received, no processing is performed.

(3) In a third possible implementation manner, within the first preset duration, the terminal device detects the first broadcast message at the same time, and receives a connection request for the second broadcast message, then only the first broadcast message Processing is performed, that is, only the connection request for the first broadcast message is sent.

The first gateway device can send the first broadcast message. Obviously, the first gateway device includes at least one first short-range communication module. And the first gateway device has been connected to the Internet through other communication means, including but not limited to WiFi, cellular network, etc., so it is called a gateway device.

Further, the first gateway device may be an air purifier, a humidifier, a thermostat and other devices. If a certain device includes at least one first short-range communication module and has been connected to the Internet, it belongs to the first gateway device in this document, so the type of the device is not limited here.

For the case where one first broadcast message is detected, it can be executed with reference to the specific introduction in 204 above; next, the case where multiple first broadcast messages are detected will be described separately. In this case, regardless of whether a connection request for the second broadcast message is received, the first broadcast message is preferentially responded to, so the description of the second broadcast message will be omitted in the following description.

(1) In a first possible implementation, within the first preset time period, in the case where multiple first broadcast messages are detected, according to the multiple first broadcast messages, the first broadcast message is sent from the multiple The first gateway device with the highest signal strength among the first gateway devices is selected to send a connection request, so as to establish a connection through the first short-range communication.

Optionally, when the terminal device detects multiple first broadcast messages, it analyzes the received signal strength indicator (Received Signal Strength Indicator, RSSI) therein, and sends a connection request to the first gateway device with the highest RSSI.

Optionally, when the terminal device detects multiple first broadcast messages, it can use RSSI to measure the distance with multiple first gateway devices that send the first broadcast message, and send a connection request to the closest first gateway device. .

(2) In the second possible implementation manner, within the first preset time period, in the case where multiple first broadcast messages are detected, according to the transmission carried by each first broadcast message in the multiple first broadcast messages Party identification, query the stored connection times of the first gateway device corresponding to the sender identification, and send a connection request to the first gateway device with the least connection times to establish a connection through the first short-range communication. In this embodiment, if a new first gateway device appears, it can be implemented to establish a connection with the new first gateway device preferentially. However, in the prior art, the terminal device and the new gateway device need to be manually operated by the user to establish a connection. Therefore, this embodiment of the present application can reduce the user's manual operation and improve convenience.

For example, each time the terminal device establishes a connection with the first gateway device, it will store the current connection information locally. The connection information includes at least the identification of the first gateway device and the connection times. In the case of detecting multiple first broadcast messages, the terminal device can obtain the sender identifier carried in each broadcast message, compare the sender identifier with the locally stored connection information, and select the first gateway with the least number of connections device, sending a connection request to the first gateway device to establish a connection. Optionally, the number of connections may be the number of successful connections or the number of times a connection request is sent, and so on.

Optionally, after the terminal device establishes a connection with the first gateway device, it can transmit the data to the first gateway device through the first short-range communication method, and the first gateway device then transmits the data to the server through the Internet, so that the user can view the data. the data. On the contrary, the user can also send the control command to the first gateway device through the server through the server, and then transmit the control command to the terminal device through the first short-range communication module, so as to realize the purpose of controlling the terminal device.

Optionally, after the terminal device establishes a connection with the first gateway device through the first short-range communication, it may also stop sending the second broadcast message of the second short-range communication, so as to further reduce power consumption.

205. Within the first preset time period, in the case where the first broadcast message is not detected and the connection request sent by the second gateway device for the second broadcast message is received, establish a connection with the second gateway device through the second short-range communication. connection, and stop detecting the broadcast message of the first short-range communication.

Further, the second gateway device needs to send a connection request for the second broadcast message, so the second gateway device includes at least one second short-range communication module. And the second gateway device has been connected to the Internet through other communication means, including but not limited to WiFi, cellular network and the like.

Further optionally, because the second broadcast message sent by the terminal device includes the unique identifier of the terminal device, the second gateway device can use the unique identifier to identify the terminal device. The unique identifier can be uploaded to the server when the terminal device is added to the user account. After acquiring the second broadcast message, the second gateway device can query the server to match the unique identifier to identify the terminal device, or, after the second gateway device acquires and stores the device identifier corresponding to the user account from the server in advance/periodically, it can use Local query to identify end devices. After receiving the connection request, the terminal device responds to the request and establishes a connection with the second gateway device that sent the connection request.

After the terminal device establishes a connection with the second gateway device through the second short-range communication, it stops detecting the broadcast message of the first short-range communication. That is, the terminal device will temporarily turn off the first short-range communication module during the connection period of the second short-range communication.

In order to better understand the technical solution of the second short-range communication connection, the following example illustrates the application scenario of the second short-range communication connection:

If the terminal device is a temperature sensor, the second short-range communication method is Bluetooth. When the user needs to view the temperature data and requests data from the server through the mobile phone APP, the server sends an instruction to the second gateway device, and the second gateway device sends a connection request to it after detecting the Bluetooth broadcast of the temperature sensor and identifying the temperature sensor. After responding to the connection request, the temperature sensor establishes a connection with it, and sends the measured temperature data to the second gateway device, and the second gateway device uploads the data to the server.

Optionally, the control terminal (mobile phone) used by the user can also establish a connection by sending a connection request to the terminal device after detecting the second broadcast message, and obtain data in the terminal device directly through the second short-range communication connection.

In some possible implementations, after the terminal device establishes a second short-range communication connection and completes the transmission of data and instructions, its second short-range communication module will enter a sleep state. Once the second short-range communication module enters the sleep state, the connection of the second short-range communication will be disconnected. Optionally, after the connection of the second short-range communication is disconnected, the first short-range communication module of the terminal device will continue to work, and the time interval for detecting the first broadcast message of the first short-range communication continues to follow the first short-range communication. The change rule before the distance communication is turned off is extended according to the preset rule following the latest first time interval before the first short-range communication module is turned off, and then continues to be executed from step 201 as shown in FIG. 2 .

In some other possible implementations, since the unique identifier has been uploaded to the server when it is added to the user account, the second gateway device in the same user account can Identify the terminal device through the second broadcast message carrying the data to be sent by the terminal device and the unique identifier of the terminal device, and directly parse and acquire the data to be sent by the terminal device.

In order to better understand the above scheme shown in Figure 2, the following will introduce the application scenarios of the scheme:

In a home application scenario, the terminal device is a temperature sensor, the first short-range communication is ZigBee, the second short-range communication is Bluetooth, the first gateway device is a humidifier, and the second gateway device is an air purifier. Temperature sensors, humidifiers, air purifiers have all been added to the user account. First, the temperature sensor detects the ZigBee broadcast message according to a preset first time interval, where the first time interval is assumed to be 2 seconds, and sends a Bluetooth broadcast message. The following will introduce several situations of temperature sensor connection:

(1) Within the preset duration, which is assumed to be 1 minute here, if the temperature sensor does not detect the ZigBee broadcast message and does not receive a connection request for the Bluetooth broadcast message sent by it, it will extend the detection according to the preset rules. The time interval at which ZigBee broadcasts messages. It is assumed here that the time interval grows exponentially. That is, when the ZigBee broadcast message is not detected within one minute, the detection is performed once every 4 seconds, and then once every 8 seconds, and so on for the subsequent time intervals.

(2) If within 1 minute, the temperature sensor only detects the ZigBee broadcast message and does not receive a connection request for the Bluetooth broadcast message, it sends a connection request to the humidifier that sends the ZigBee broadcast message to establish a connection with the humidifier through ZigBee .

(3) If the temperature sensor detects both the ZigBee broadcast message and the connection request for the Bluetooth broadcast message within 1 minute, it still sends the connection request to the humidifier that sends the ZigBee broadcast message, and does not process the connection request. Therefore, it can be understood that if a humidifier and an air purifier exist at the same time, the temperature sensor will preferentially establish a connection with the humidifier.

(4) If the temperature sensor does not detect the ZigBee broadcast message within 1 minute, but receives a connection request for the Bluetooth broadcast message, it will establish a connection with the air purifier through Bluetooth.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first broadcast message of the first short-range communication is detected according to a certain time interval, and the second broadcast message is sent, and the first The short-range communication and the second short-range communication are dynamically scheduled to achieve the purpose of supporting two short-range communication modes and reducing power consumption.

Please refer to FIG. 3 , which is another schematic flowchart involved in the device connection method in the embodiment of the present application. Wherein, steps 301 to 308 are the process of adding the terminal device to the user account, which mainly includes:

301. The user detects the second broadcast message of the terminal device by controlling the terminal.

302. The control terminal establishes a second short-range communication connection with the terminal device.

Specifically, after detecting the second broadcast message, the control terminal sends a connection request to the terminal device, and the terminal device responds to the request to establish a second short-range communication connection between the control terminal and the terminal device.

303. The control terminal requests to acquire device information of the terminal device.

Specifically, the device information may include at least one of a media access control address (Media Access Control Address, MAC address), a device serial number, and a mobile equipment identifier (Mobile Equipment Identifier, MEID).

304. The terminal device sends the device information of the terminal device to the control terminal.

305. The control terminal uploads the device information of the terminal device to the server and requests to add the terminal device to the user account.

Optionally, when the control terminal sends the device information of the terminal device to the server, it may also send a request to add the user account of the terminal device. The user account may be an account manually input/selected by the user in the control terminal; or the user account may be a default account/preferred account bound with the control terminal.

Or, optionally, the control terminal only sends the device information of the terminal device to the server, and the user account requesting to add the terminal device may be the default account/preferred account bound with the control terminal.

306. The server sends the user information corresponding to the terminal device to the control terminal.

Specifically, after the server agrees to add the terminal device to the user account, step 306 is performed.

307. The control terminal sends the user information corresponding to the terminal device to the terminal device.

Optionally, in step 306, the server may also send the encryption algorithm; correspondingly, in step 307, the control terminal may also send the encryption algorithm to the terminal device.

Optionally, the user information uniquely corresponds to the added user account. For example, the user information corresponding to all devices added to the same user account is the same; the user information corresponding to devices added to different user accounts is different.

Optionally, the encryption algorithm is uniquely corresponding to the user account. For example, all devices added to the same user account use the same encryption algorithm.

308. The terminal device responds to the control terminal that it is successfully added to the user account.

Step 308 is an optional step, in order to notify the control terminal whether the terminal device has received the user information sent in step 307 .

It is easy to understand that after step 302, steps 303, 304, 307, and 308 transmit messages through the second short-range communication method; and the user information (optionally also includes encryption and decryption algorithms) is to enable the terminal device to communicate with each other. Secure communication between other devices (for example, a first gateway device, a second gateway device, etc. is not limited) to ensure that devices under the same user account can communicate and devices under different user accounts cannot communicate.

It can be understood that, after the terminal device is added to the user account, the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 can be executed.

(a) In a possible implementation, in the process of executing the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 , the specific connection process between the terminal device and the first gateway device is as shown in steps 309 to 311 in FIG. 3 .

309. The first gateway device sends the first broadcast message.

Specifically, the first broadcast message includes the first verification information of the first gateway device. The first verification information is uniquely corresponding user information after the first gateway device is added to a certain user account.

Optionally, the first broadcast message includes the encrypted first verification information of the first gateway.

Corresponding to step 309, the terminal device detects the first broadcast message of the first short-range communication according to the first time interval, and sends the second broadcast message of the second short-range communication. For specific implementation, reference may be made to the detailed description of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 , which will not be repeated here.

310. If the first verification information matches the second user information locally stored in the terminal device, send a connection request to the first gateway device that sent the first broadcast message. The second user information is the unique corresponding user information stored locally after the terminal device is added to a user account.

Optionally, if the terminal device decrypts the first verification information and matches the locally stored second user information information, it sends a connection request to the first gateway device that sent the first broadcast message.

In a possible implementation manner, within the first preset time period, in the case where only the first broadcast message is detected, if the first verification information matches the second user stored locally by the terminal device, send the message to the sender. The first gateway device of the first broadcast message sends a connection request. In another possible implementation manner, within a first preset time period, when the first broadcast message is detected and a connection request for the second broadcast message is received, if the first verification information and the terminal If the second user information stored locally by the device matches the same, a connection request is sent to the first gateway device that sent the first broadcast message.

311. After receiving the connection request, the first gateway device responds to the terminal device to confirm the connection.

(b) In another possible implementation, in the process of executing the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 , the specific connection process between the terminal device and the first gateway device is as shown in steps 401 to 403 in FIG. 4 :

401. The first gateway device sends a first broadcast message.

Corresponding to step 401, the terminal device detects the first broadcast message of the first short-range communication according to the first time interval, and sends the second broadcast message of the second short-range communication. For specific implementation, reference may be made to the detailed description of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 , which will not be repeated here.

402.
