Embodiment
Embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings.It should be noted that for purposes of clarity, omitted expression and the description of unrelated to the invention, parts well known by persons skilled in the art and processing in accompanying drawing and explanation.
According to the network-building method of the embodiment of the present invention, comprise: the network that carries out producing in the process of network configuration in response to the network environment for comprising at least two equipment mismatches to be put, eliminate network and mismatch and put by with network, mismatching operation that the equipment self that is equipped with pass carries out, and without regulator and/or the user's of network environment intervention.
Wherein, above-mentioned mismatch with network the equipment that is equipped with pass refer to the equipment configured mistakenly in the networking process, also because network mismatches the generation of putting, cause it not complete the equipment of configuration purpose.
As everyone knows, in the process for the network environment configuration device, may produce some and the contrary error configurations of configuration purpose, be also that network mismatches and puts.Network mismatches for example to be put and can comprise: should work as and add the equipment of existing network not join in this existing network.For example, in the situation that an existing network and this network can allow other equipment to join wherein, if configuration purpose is a new equipment will be joined in this network, normally make this equipment carry out web search, can after searching this network, make equipment join wherein; Yet, may exist this new equipment not search out the situation of this network, make this new equipment can not join this network, thereby mismatching, puts on the generation network.For convenience, below by this mismatch to put be called " the first mismatches and puts ".Wherein, in above-mentioned the first mismatches and puts situation, the generation that this new equipment is put because network mismatches and do not complete the purpose that joins existing network, the new equipment here is above-mentioned with network, to mismatch the equipment that is equipped with pass.
Network mismatches and puts can be caused by user's misoperation and/or system restriction itself.
Wherein, user's misoperation comprises such as according to correct order, not carrying out the operation of network configuration.For example, the user wants to add a new equipment in existing network, the user should work as in the following order and is configured: first this existing network is configured, can by the net external equipment, is searched and allow the net external equipment to add, and then make new equipment start search network.Yet the user is not but carrying out, under the situation of configuration operation as above, directly making the new equipment search network to above-mentioned network, like this, equipment just can't search above-mentioned network.Therefore, user's above-mentioned misoperation has just caused that a network mismatches and has put.
Take the ZigBee Radio Network System as example, if user's configuration purpose is to add a new ZigBee equipment in this ZigBee Radio Network System, the user need to be configured in the following order:, first press the Setup key of an equipment in this ZigBee Radio Network System, make this ZigBee wireless network can be searched out and allow by other equipment adding of other equipment; Then, then the Setup key of pressing new ZigBee equipment make it to start search network.If the user is not undertaken by said sequence, for example the user is in the situation that the Setup key of any one equipment in not pressing this ZigBee Radio Network System, press the Setup key of new ZigBee equipment, result is that new ZigBee equipment can't search above-mentioned ZigBee wireless network, thereby cause network to mismatch, puts.
In addition, some restrictions of system itself also may cause that network mismatches and put.For example, in the situation that there are at least two networks on identical physical mediums of communication, when the user attempts wherein a network and adds a new equipment, may cause this equipment can't search the network that can add because of the phase mutual interference between network, make equipment not join in network to be added, put thereby the generation network mismatches.Again for example, though only there is a network that can add on physical mediums of communication, may, due to the difference in signal strength of this network or because the search capability of equipment is poor, cause equipment finally not search this network, thereby can't join in this network.
Similarly, if system itself exists such as restrictions such as above-mentioned defects, user's misoperation, also can cause similar network to mismatch and put simultaneously.
In addition, network mismatches the concrete situation of putting and should work as the equipment that adds existing network do not join in this existing network except above mentioned, can also comprise that other mismatch puts situation, for example, should work as the establishment that at least two equipment that create a network do not complete described network.For convenience, below by this mismatch to put be called " the second mismatches and puts ".Wherein, in above-mentioned the second mismatches and puts situation, the generation that above at least two equipment are put because network mismatches and do not complete the purpose that creates a network, at least two equipment here are above-mentioned with network, to mismatch the equipment that is equipped with pass.In this case, at least two equipment should be worked as a new network that comprises above at least two equipment of establishment, but (such as the misoperation with regulator and/or user and/or the reasons such as restriction that existed by system itself) for various reasons, the result that but for example causes above at least two equipment to create at least two networks occurs, thereby produce to mismatch, put, etc.When occurring that this other mismatch while putting situation, can apply equally the network-building method of the embodiment of the present invention, the operation of being undertaken by equipment self is eliminated network and is mismatched and put, and without regulator and/or the user's of network environment intervention.
From top description, related network mismatches to put to refer to for the network environment that comprises at least two equipment and carries out the error configurations produced in the process of network configuration in embodiments of the present invention.At this, " at least two equipment " is according to different application scenarioss, both can refer to not add the equipment of any network and be present in the equipment (for example above-mentioned the first mismatches the situation of putting) in existing network, also can refer to not add the equipment (for example above-mentioned the second mismatches the situation of putting) of any network.Certainly, need be appreciated that given here mismatching put some the concrete examples of putting that mismatch that the network-building method of the embodiment of the present invention just can process, and and do not mean that the present invention be construed as limiting.In fact, other are various and pointed mismatches and puts similar situation and can apply according to the networking technology of the embodiment of the present invention and solve.
Need explanation, as mentioned herein " regulator of network environment and/or user's intervention " refer to and need regulator and/or user to identify to have occurred which kind of network to mismatch to put and initiatively take suitable operation to eliminate produced mismatching and put.As upper described for prior art, if needing regulator and/or user's intervention to eliminate to mismatch puts, will bring great operation burden to regulator and/or user, reduce the user-friendliness of equipment, reduce in addition Internet usage efficiency.
In a kind of specific implementation of network-building method according to an embodiment of the invention, eliminate network and mismatch and put and can comprise by with described network, mismatching operation that the equipment self that is equipped with pass carries out: equipment in the situation that do not search the existing network that can add, creates new network; Equipment, allow other equipment add new network the waiting period interrupted situation under, equipment judges that according to the configuration information of new network whether new network is illegal, and in the situation that new network is judged as the illegal configuration information relevant with new network in cancelling equipment.
As make equipment, allow other equipment add new network the waiting period interrupted operation object lesson, following two kinds of modes can be arranged.
A kind of mode is that the time interval that equipment arranges in order to wait for other equipment to add new network expires.Wherein, the size in this time interval can preset according to the actual conditions of application scenarios.
Another kind of mode is that equipment is triggered by external signal and stops waiting for that other equipment add new network.For example, in the undue situation of the time interval arranged in order to wait for other equipment to add new network at equipment, input an external signal by the network user and/or regulator's operation to equipment, trigger equipment makes this New-deployed Network not allow adding of other equipment.For example, in the situation that equipment is ZigBee equipment, the Setup key that user and/or regulator press on this equipment can produce this signal.Need explanation at this, although being the operation by user and/or regulator, this external signal produces, but, user and/or regulator's operation is not it in the situation that understand and identified and network occurs to mismatch to put in order eliminating to mismatch and to put and initiatively make, but in the situation that do not known to occur network mismatch put carry out be not intended to operation or for realizing the operation of other purposes, therefore, this operation can not be considered to mismatch the user that puts and carry out and/or regulator's intervention in order to eliminate.
By make equipment, allow other equipment add new network the waiting period be interrupted, can trigger equipment the legitimacy of constructed new network be judged.In a kind of specific implementation of network-building method according to an embodiment of the invention, in the situation that being judged as illegal equipment, new network can cancel the configuration information relevant with new network by following operation: delete new network; And the setting that makes equipment returns to original Default Value or returns at network and mismatches the setting before putting generation.Because illegal network is normally useless, not only take the communication resource, and usually due to the finiteness of the communication resource, also can further reduce for example, communication efficiency, speed between related network device (equipment in other networks on same communication media), so delete illegal new network, can save the communication resource and improve communication efficiency and speed.In addition, can according to actual needs, optionally equipment be reverted to original Default Value or network and mismatch the setting of putting before occurring.For example, in the situation that need the put that mismatches of retaining device, the setting of equipment can be reverted at network and mismatch the setting of putting before occurring.
The specific implementation legitimacy of constructed new network judged as equipment, for example equipment can judge that whether new network is illegal according to the configuration information of new network, that is, at new network, meet in one of at least following three conditions situation, judge that new network is as illegal.
First condition is: the number of devices in new network is 1.If only have an equipment in newly-built network, in this network, can not exist miscellaneous equipment and this equipment to communicate, so this network is normally unworthy.The Figure 1A of take describes as example.Figure 1A is the schematic diagram that the newly-built ZigBee wireless network that only comprises a lamp is shown, wherein, lamp can receive that expression " is opened " or two kinds of signals of " pass ", and can not outwards transmit, known by judging, because the number of devices in this ZigBee wireless network is 1, judge that this ZigBee wireless network is illegal.Further, this ZigBee wireless network can be deleted, and the setting of lamp can be returned to original Default Value or return at above-mentioned network and mismatch the setting before putting.
Second condition is: the equipment room in new network does not all have compatibility.If the equipment in newly-built network is all incompatible each other, can cause can't communicating by letter between equipment, continuing to allow this network to exist is also unworthy usually.For example, for example, in network (ZigBee wireless network), do not troop and therefore can not send betwixt or receive instruction if all do not there is the I/O coupling between any two equipment wherein, being illustrated between any two equipment in this network and all not thering is compatibility.An example is to comprise the ZigBee wireless network of lamp and thermostat.Lamp can or be closed by switch opens, but thermostat can only arrange a temperature, so between them, is incompatible, so also can't communicate by letter, therefore, the network in this example will be judged as illegal network.Another example can be referring to Figure 1B.Figure 1B is the schematic diagram that the newly-built ZigBee wireless network that only comprises two lamps is shown.In this example, because lamp I and two lamps of lamp II all can only receive and can not send, so also do not have the I/O coupling between the two, do not troop, so the two is incompatible, the network in this example also can be judged as illegal network.
The 3rd condition is: the safe level of the equipment in new network is not mated mutually.When in the situation that the different safe level of device requirement while creating network, this means, between them, can't jointly move, also mean that this network is unworthy.An example of this situation can be the wireless network that only comprises two ZigBee equipment, one of them ZigBee equipment needs application link key (Application Link Key) to communicate, another one equipment is not supported Application Link Key, be that safe level between them is not mated, cause still can't communicating by letter between the two.Such network is still illegal.
About standard and the method for the validity judgement of network, except providing above, according to actual conditions, can use any suitable technology, comprise known or develop in the future, do not repeat them here.
As mentioned above, embodiments of the invention provide in the situation that the automatic process that does not need user and/or regulator's operation and participation (that is, not needing in user and/or regulator's the situation of intervention) to realize by equipment self operation.
Below in conjunction with Fig. 2, illustrate in the situation that because the user misoperation configuration (above-mentioned the first mismatch and put in an object lesson) that makes a mistake realizes mismatching an example of putting elimination.
Fig. 2 is in the situation that produce by user misoperation the flow chart that network mismatches the object lesson of putting application network-building method of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 2, network-building method 200 starts from step S210, and in step S220, the user is intended to a new ZigBee equipment is joined to existing ZigBee wireless network.But, due to the user in the situation that the Setup key of arbitrary equipment in not pressing existing ZigBee wireless network, just press the Setup key of new equipment, also in the situation that this ZigBee wireless network can not searchedly arrive, make new equipment search for this network, therefore cause in step S230, new equipment can't search this ZigBee wireless network, and then can't join in this network.So just having produced network mismatches and puts.
In step S240, new equipment creates a new network voluntarily, and this network can allow other outer equipment of net search for and add.New equipment is preset a latency period, and in the waiting time interval, this new equipment waits for that other equipment join in this network.
When latency period expires, wait is interrupted, and trigger equipment, in step S250, utilizes aforesaid three conditions to judge that whether this new network is illegal thus.
Particularly, in this example, because application scenarios is island network, only there are above-mentioned new equipment and ZigBee wireless network and without other network or equipment in environment, although perhaps have other equipment but limiting this equipment and can't add this new network due to system or the ability of equipment own, in above-mentioned latency period, without any equipment, join in this new network, so, only by aforesaid first condition, this new network can be judged to be illegally to (only comprising an equipment in this new network), so, this new network is deleted in step S260, and, the setting of this new equipment is reverted to Default Value.Network-building method 200 ends at step S270.
After this, the user can attempt configuration again.For example, the user finds that new equipment does not join in the network of expecting to add, and probably presses the Setup key of new equipment again.Now, new equipment is searched for the network that can add again.If press for the first time and for the second time the user between the Setup key of new equipment, the existing ZigBee wireless network that the user has added expectation (has for example carried out relevant configuration, pressed the Setup key of an equipment in this ZigBee wireless network so that this network can be searched by new equipment), the Setup key of pressing for the second time new equipment should be able to make new equipment search this ZigBee wireless network, and then adds.Perhaps, user's operation subsequently can be to make new equipment create voluntarily a new network, and can allow other equipment to add.In a word, because the network produced before mismatches to put, be eliminated, therefore have an opportunity to continue this equipment is carried out to the operation of various routines.
Below in conjunction with Fig. 3, illustrate in the situation that the another kind of error configurations occurred due to user misoperation realizes mismatching an example of putting elimination.
Fig. 3 is in the situation that produce by user misoperation the flow chart that another kind of network mismatched and put the object lesson of (above-mentioned the second mismatch and put in an object lesson) application network-building method of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 3, network-building method 300 starts from step S310.In step S320, the user is intended in the environment without existing network, utilizes two new ZigBee equipment to create a new network that comprises above two ZigBee equipment.So the user presses the wherein Setup key of first ZigBee equipment.Therefore there do not is the network that can add in environment the time, therefore this first equipment in the situation that do not search and can add network, is prepared to create a new network, but not yet created complete.
Now, the user should press the Setup key of second equipment after above-mentioned new network creation is complete again, makes second equipment can search above new network.Yet, in step S330, the user is not in the situation that wait for that enough time just presses the Setup key of second equipment, also, the user presses distinct device twice, is first equipment and second equipment in this embodiment, the Setup key between the time interval too short, so that, in step S340, second equipment fails to search the new network created by previous equipment, and then can't join in this network.So just having produced network mismatches and puts.
In step S350, second equipment creates another new network voluntarily.Under the application scenarios of this example, because of the equipment of other networks to be added such as not existing in environment or though this equipment is arranged because the restriction of system or the ability of equipment own can't add this equipment, therefore the new network that second equipment creates finally only comprises second equipment itself.
Thus, now there are two new networks in environment, and only comprise an equipment in each new network.Similar with the example shown in above-mentioned Fig. 2, the time interval that other equipment of wait that arrange in two equipment add expires or due to the input of external signal, make in step S360, two equipment utilize respectively aforesaid three conditions to judge that whether above-mentioned two new networks are illegal.Be similar to the deterministic process in example shown in Fig. 2, owing in these two networks, only comprising respectively an equipment, thus all be judged as illegally, so all deleted in step S370, and subsequent treatment can be similar to the processing procedure in example shown in Fig. 2.Network-building method 300 ends at step S380.
Therefore, the above-mentioned error configurations occurred due to user misoperation, can be under the condition got involved without network supervision person and/or user and be eliminated, and in traditional method, is all to instruct and operation is processed by user's intervention.Like this, just significantly improved the efficiency of system group network.In addition, can promote the efficiency of Internet resources application, improve the operability of equipment.
Embodiments of the invention also provide a kind of network device, its network that is configured to produce in the process of configuration network in response to the network environment for comprising at least two equipment mismatches to be put, make to mismatch with network operation that the equipment that is equipped with pass undertakies by self and eliminate network and mismatch and put, and without regulator and/or the user's of network environment intervention.
