Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the system is divided into four layers, which are an application (application) layer (abbreviated as "application layer"), an application framework (application framework) layer (abbreviated as "framework layer"), an Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library layer (abbreviated as "system runtime library layer"), and a kernel layer from top to bottom.

In some embodiments, at least one application program runs in the application program layer, and the application programs may be windows (windows) programs carried by an operating system, system setting programs, clock programs or the like; or an application developed by a third party developer. In particular implementations, the application packages in the application layer are not limited to the above examples.

The display equipment can have a touch interaction function, and a user can operate the host machine only by lightly touching the display with fingers, so that the operation of a keyboard, a mouse and a remote controller is avoided, and the human-computer interaction is more direct. Based on the display device, the display device can support a touch interaction function by adding the touch component. Generally, the touch-sensing device and the display may constitute a touch screen. A user can input different control instructions on the touch screen through touch operation. In order to implement the different touch actions, the touch control assembly may generate different electrical signals when a user inputs different touch actions, and send the generated electrical signals to the controller. The controller may perform feature extraction on the received electrical signals to determine a control function to be performed by the user based on the extracted features.

For example, when a user inputs a click touch action at any program icon position in the application program interface, the touch component senses the touch action and generates an electrical signal. After the controller receives the electric signal, the controller can firstly judge the duration of the level corresponding to the touch action in the electric signal, and when the duration is less than a preset time threshold, the controller recognizes that the user inputs a click touch instruction. The controller extracts the position features generated by the electrical signals to determine the touch position. And when the touch position is within the display range of the application icon, determining that the user inputs a click touch instruction at the position of the application icon. Accordingly, the click touch instruction is used for executing the function of running the corresponding application program in the current scene, so that the controller can start running the corresponding application program.

For another example, when the user inputs a sliding motion in the media asset display page, the touch component also sends the sensed electric signal to the controller. The controller firstly judges the duration of the signal corresponding to the touch action in the electric signal. When the determined duration is longer than the preset time threshold, the position change condition generated by the signal is judged, and obviously, for the interactive touch action, the generation position of the signal changes, so that the sliding touch instruction input by the user is determined. The controller judges the sliding direction of the sliding touch instruction according to the change condition of the position generated by the signal, and controls to turn pages of the display frame in the media asset display page so as to display more media asset options. Furthermore, the controller can extract the characteristics of the sliding speed, the sliding distance and the like of the sliding touch instruction, and perform the picture control of page turning according to the extracted characteristics so as to achieve the hand following effect and the like. Similarly, for touch instructions such as double click and long press, the controller can execute corresponding control functions according to preset interaction rules after extracting different features and determining the type of the touch instruction through feature judgment. In some embodiments, the touch component also supports multi-touch, such that a user can input touch actions on the touch screen through multiple fingers, e.g., multi-finger clicks, multi-finger long presses, multi-finger swipes, and the like.

In some embodiments, in order to facilitate control over multiple devices to be networked, it is generally necessary to configure a network for each device before the device is used, so that the device can access a wireless local area network used by a user. The network distribution refers to a process of configuring the equipment so that the equipment can access the network. For example, in a smart home scene, a plurality of devices to be distributed (such as lighting systems, curtains, air conditioners, security systems, smart televisions, etc.) are arranged in a scene of a user house. The user can adopt the equipment already distributed to distribute the network to other equipment to be distributed. For example, a user can enter a scanning detail page by clicking a fast distribution network control on a main device touch screen, and then control a plurality of distributed devices to execute corresponding distribution network tasks on a plurality of devices to be distributed, so as to realize device distribution. It should be noted that the user may also input the selected operation on the fast distribution network control in other ways to trigger entering the scan detail page. Control is passed to the scan details page, for example, using a voice control function or a search function.

In some embodiments, multiple applications may be installed in the display device. FIG. 5 illustrates a user interface in a display in some embodiments. The user interface displays all applications installed by the device, including calendar, clock, settings, distribution network, photo applications and video applications. The user can select one of the applications and open it to implement the functionality of the application. It should be noted that, the installed application may be a system application or a third-party application.

In some embodiments, the user may click on a "fast join network" control in the user interface, triggering the display of a scan start page. FIG. 6 illustrates a schematic diagram of a scan start page of some embodiments. The method specifically comprises the step that a user selects and clicks a corresponding scanning starting page displayed after a rapid distribution network control is selected and clicked on a user interface. As shown in fig. 6, the scan start page includes a distribution network identifier 610, a distribution network prompt control 620, and a scan control 630. The distribution network identifier 610 is used to prompt the user that the user has currently entered the fast distribution network mode. The distribution network prompting control 620 is used for prompting a user to determine whether the equipment to be distributed is in a distribution network state, so that subsequent and smooth distribution network tasks are performed on the equipment to be distributed. The scanning control 630 is used to characterize that the current device is currently in a state of scanning the devices to be distributed around the network.

The display device includes a display, a communicator, and a controller. The display equipment is already accessed into the local area network through the communicator, when a user inputs a selected operation on the rapid distribution network control, the display equipment enters a distribution network mode, and the controller controls the Bluetooth module of the communicator to be started for scanning the equipment to be distributed in a certain range around the display equipment; the communication with the local area network can be realized through any local area network communication protocol, so that the controller of the display equipment can send instructions to other display equipment which is accessed to the local area network. The display equipment which has access to the same local area network is called as the distributed equipment; the devices which are scanned by the devices already distributed through the Bluetooth and are not accessed to the local area network are called as devices to be distributed; the distributed network equipment provided for the user 'fast distribution network' click operation interface is called as main control equipment; the distributed network devices other than the master device are called auxiliary devices. When the network to be distributed is distributed by the distributed network equipment, it can be understood that only one distributed network equipment needs to be selected when one network to be distributed is distributed.

In some specific implementation manners, the main control device may be a magic cube screen, and when a user clicks a 'distribution network' in a user interface of the magic cube screen to enter a distribution network mode, the magic cube screen serves as a main screen and provides an operation interface for the user to perform operation of the distribution network. The "auxiliary device" may be a magic cube screen other than the main screen, which is called an auxiliary screen. The auxiliary screen can be a magic cube screen or a plurality of magic cube screens. After the auxiliary screen enters the distribution network mode, a scanning interface of a 'rapid distribution network' can be not displayed, and only scanning can be carried out on a background.

Fig. 7 illustrates a first interaction process diagram of a primary device with a secondary device in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 7, when a user clicks a "fast distribution network" control on a display, a controller sends an instruction to a communicator, starts bluetooth, scans a device to be distributed with a network, and further obtains a first scanning result; meanwhile, the controller sends a scanning instruction to the auxiliary equipment of the same local area network, and the auxiliary equipment responds to the scanning instruction and scans the equipment to be networked in a certain range around the auxiliary equipment so as to obtain a second scanning result; and the auxiliary equipment sends the second scanning result to the main control equipment. It should be noted that, if the bluetooth of the auxiliary device is not turned on, the auxiliary device needs to be instructed to forcibly turn on the bluetooth. And the controller of the auxiliary equipment sends the second scanning result to the main control equipment.

In some embodiments, the controller of the master device is configured to obtain a first scanning result of the device, and send a scanning instruction to the auxiliary device; receiving a second scanning result sent by the auxiliary equipment, wherein the second scanning result is a scanning result obtained by the auxiliary equipment in response to a scanning instruction of the auxiliary equipment; and determining a network equipment to be matched according to the first scanning result and/or the second scanning result, wherein the network equipment to be matched refers to the electronic equipment which is scanned by the communicator and is not introduced into the local area network. When the controller confirms the equipment to be distributed, the controller can select the equipment scanned first according to the time sequence of the equipment to be distributed; the most frequently used equipment can be selected according to the equipment use habit of the user; and selecting the prior equipment to be configured according to the index sequence. The present application is not limited.

In some embodiments, duplicate devices to be networked in the first scanning result and the second scanning result are deleted to generate a third scanning result; and determining equipment to be networked according to the third scanning result.

In some embodiments, the identifiers of the devices to be distributed are sorted according to the connection strength of the bluetooth, and then a sorted list is generated, and the controller controls the sorted list to be displayed on a user interface presented by the display. And the network distribution task is executed by the network distribution equipment. Because the equipment to be distributed at the front in the sorted list is displayed on the user interface presented by the priority display, the distribution success rate of the equipment to be distributed at the front should be preferentially ensured, and then the equipment to be distributed is preferentially distributed, and the distribution processing is carried out according to the index sequence in the sorted list. Namely, the specified devices to be distributed are sequentially distributed to the distributed devices for distribution according to the sequence from front to back in the ordered list.

After a controller of the main control device determines a device to be networked, determining all devices which are connected with the device to be networked, wherein the devices which are connected with the network comprise all electronic devices which are accessed to the network in the same local area network; and then, the equipment to be distributed is distributed to one of the distributed equipment meeting the preset conditions.

In some embodiments, the device to be configured is allocated with the first configured device meeting the preset condition.

In some embodiments, based on the principle of average distribution, a distribution network number threshold is set for each distributed network device, so that the excessive number of devices which are not distributed in the distribution network of some distributed network devices can be avoided. When the distributed network equipment is distributed to the equipment to be distributed, acquiring the number of the distributed equipment to be distributed of the distributed network equipment, and recording the number as the distributed number; and determining the distributed network equipment with the distributed number smaller than the number threshold value to distribute the equipment to be distributed. Therefore, when a plurality of display devices which complete distribution network exist in one network and a plurality of devices which do not distribute network exist, the number of the distribution networks of each distributed device can be ensured to be about the average level, and distribution network task distribution is more reasonable.

Illustratively, the number of all devices to be distributed and the number of all distributed devices are obtained, and according to the principle of average distribution, the threshold value of the number of devices to be distributed, which should be distributed by each distributed device in principle, is calculated

Number threshold

The calculation was performed as follows:

wherein S is₁For the total number of devices to be networked, S₂The rounding function is rounding up for the number of all the distributed network devices. For example, if the number of all devices to be networked is 20 and the number of all devices already networked is 5, the number threshold is set

And 4, that is, in principle, 1 distributed network device should allocate 4 devices to be distributed to perform the distribution network task. For another example, if the number of all devices to be networked is 23, and the number of all devices already networked is 5, then the number threshold is set

And the upward rounding is adopted to be 5, namely, 1 distributed network device is distributed with 5 devices to be distributed to carry out the network distribution task in principle.

In some embodiments, in order to facilitate statistics and acquisition of the number of devices to be networked, which have already been allocated by the distributed network device, a hash table of the distributed network device is established. The key value of the hash table of the distributed network equipment is the ID of the distributed network equipment, and the value is the information of the equipment to be distributed of the distribution network of the distributed network equipment. And each piece of equipment information to be distributed is packaged in an array form, and the array form is convenient for inquiring the equipment information to be distributed.

In some embodiments, the controller of the master device is further configured to: acquiring the connection strength of the equipment to be distributed and the distributed equipment; sequencing the distributed network equipment according to the sequence of the connection strength from strong to weak; and sequentially judging whether the distributed equipment meets preset conditions or not according to the sequencing sequence of the distributed equipment. Different magic cube screens and different electrical apparatus's distance is different, can cause the intensity of bluetooth signal different, judges whether the distribution equipment satisfies the preset condition according to the connection intensity in proper order from strong to weak, can the fastest find not only satisfy the preset condition and the strongest distribution network equipment of signal intensity be used for distributing not distribution network equipment. Therefore, in the process of distribution, the appointed equipment to be distributed can be distributed to the distributed equipment with high Bluetooth connection strength in the corresponding connection for distribution. For example, the refrigerator is used as a device to be distributed, the distributed numbers of the distributed network device a and the distributed network device B are both smaller than a number threshold, the distance from the distributed network device a to the refrigerator is shorter than the distance from the distributed network device B to the refrigerator, for the refrigerator, the bluetooth connection strength of the distributed network device a is higher, and in the process of distributing the network, the distributed network device a with the high bluetooth connection strength can be preferably used for distributing the network to the refrigerator.

In some embodiments, the preset condition includes the connection strength being greater than a strength threshold. Illustratively, the strength threshold refers to a minimum value of connection strength obtained according to the success experience of the distribution network. By requiring that the connection strength is greater than the strength threshold, successful distribution of the network can be further ensured, and the distribution is more reasonable.

In some embodiments, the distributed network devices that meet the number threshold requirement and have the strongest connection strength are found for allocating the non-distributed network devices to perform the distribution network task.

Fig. 8 is a schematic structural diagram illustrating a hash table of a device to be networked in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 8, in a specific embodiment, a hash table of devices to be networked is established, where the hash table of devices to be networked includes a key value and a value, the key value of the hash table of devices to be networked is an ID of the devices to be networked, and the value of the hash table of devices to be networked is a dual-linked list of the devices already being networked. The distributed network equipment double-chain table is composed of nodes, each node comprises a front set, a distributed network equipment information bit and a rear set, and the distributed network equipment information bit comprises connection strength and a distributed network equipment ID. Any two adjacent nodes, such as node 1 and node 2, with node 1 in front and node 2 in back, the back set of node 1 being associated with the front set of node 2. The node at the beginning of the double-linked list has a head pointer, the forward bit of the node points to NULL (namely NULL), and the backward bit at the end of the double-linked list points to NULL (namely NULL). The IDs of the distributed network devices in the double linked lists of the distributed network devices are arranged in the order of the intensity of the communication signals from strong to weak, so that the distributed network devices are searched through the linked lists and the information of the distributed network devices is acquired more quickly.

Illustratively, the "air conditioner" is confirmed as the equipment to be networked. And searching a corresponding bidirectional linked list of the distributed network equipment in the value from the hash table of the air conditioner according to the key value of the identifier 'air conditioner' of the equipment to be distributed. Acquiring a first node M in the distributed network bi-directional linked list, and confirming a distributed network device M corresponding to the distributed network device information bit in the node M; calling a distributed network equipment hash table with distributed network equipment M as a key value; confirming the distributed number of the distributed network equipment M through the hash table of the distributed network equipment; determining whether the allocated number is less than a number threshold; if the allocated number is smaller than the number threshold, allocating the air conditioner to the allocated network device M, and adding the information of the air conditioner as a value into the allocated network device hash table of the allocated network device M. For the 'air conditioner' completing distribution network distribution and the distributed network equipment M, in order to save space, the nodes of the distributed network equipment M in the distributed network equipment bidirectional linked list corresponding to the 'air conditioner' can be deleted.

If the distributed number is larger than or equal to the number threshold, acquiring a second node N in the distributed network bi-directional chain table, and confirming the distributed network equipment N corresponding to the distributed network equipment information bit in the node N; calling a distributed network equipment hash table with distributed network equipment N as a key value; confirming the distributed number and the connection strength of the distributed network equipment N through the hash table of the distributed network equipment; determining whether the allocated number is less than a number threshold; if the distributed number is smaller than the number threshold, judging whether the connection strength is larger than the strength threshold; if the connection strength is greater than the strength threshold, an 'air conditioner' is allocated to the distributed network equipment N. For the 'air conditioner' completing distribution network distribution and the distributed network equipment N, in order to save space, the nodes of the distributed network equipment N in the distributed network equipment bidirectional linked list corresponding to the 'air conditioner' can be deleted.

If the connection strength is less than the strength threshold value, "air conditioner" is distributed to the distributed network equipment M. Even if the number of the distribution networks of the distributed network devices M is greater than the preset threshold, it is preferable that the devices to be distributed to the distributed network devices M with a high distribution network success rate, as compared with the distributed network devices N with a bluetooth connection strength lower than the preset bluetooth connection strength, which causes a distribution network failure. Although the distributed network equipment M exceeds the threshold value of the number of the distributed networks, certain distribution network time is prolonged, and the distribution network success rate is improved. Furthermore, in order to accelerate the distribution speed of the distributed network equipment M, the distributed network equipment M is marked, so that a distribution network instruction is preferentially sent to the marked distributed network equipment when the subsequent distribution network task is executed, and the purpose of saving the distribution network time is achieved. For the 'air conditioner' completing distribution network distribution and the distributed network equipment M, in order to save space, the nodes of the distributed network equipment M in the distributed network equipment bidirectional linked list corresponding to the 'air conditioner' can be deleted.

And if the distributed number of the distributed network equipment N is larger than the number threshold, continuously and sequentially selecting other nodes in the distributed network bi-directional chain table, and distributing the equipment to be distributed to the distributed network equipment corresponding to the node according to the distribution network method of the second node N until the node meeting the preset condition is found.

In some embodiments, the method in the above example is used to allocate the device to be configured to one of the configured network devices that satisfy the preset condition, and there may be an extreme case that the configured network device that satisfies the condition cannot be found, such as: and only one node is arranged in the distributed network bi-directional chain table corresponding to the equipment to be distributed, and the distributed number of the distributed network equipment corresponding to the node is greater than the number threshold value, at the moment, the equipment to be distributed is distributed to the distributed network equipment.

Illustratively, the "air conditioner" is confirmed as the equipment to be networked. And searching a corresponding bidirectional linked list of the distributed network equipment in the value from the hash table of the air conditioner according to the key value of the identifier 'air conditioner' of the equipment to be distributed. If only one node S exists in the distributed network bi-directional linked list, the distributed network equipment S corresponding to the distributed network equipment information bit corresponding to the node S is confirmed; "air-conditioning" is distributed to the distributed network devices S. Even if the number of the distribution networks of the distributed network equipment S exceeds a preset threshold value, air conditioners need to be distributed to the distributed network equipment S, and success of distribution networks is guaranteed.

Another extreme case where a distributed network device that satisfies the condition cannot be found is: if the distributed numbers of the distributed network devices corresponding to all nodes of the distributed network bi-directional linked list corresponding to the device to be distributed are larger than the number threshold, the device to be distributed with the maximum connection strength is obtained and recorded as the excess device, and the device to be distributed is distributed to the excess device.

And the controller of the main control equipment allocates all the equipment to be distributed to the corresponding distributed equipment one by one according to the method. When a user clicks a key on the display of the main control equipment to distribute the network, the main control equipment calls a distribution result, namely a hash table of distributed equipment of each distributed equipment is sent to the corresponding auxiliary equipment, and meanwhile, a distribution network instruction is sent to the auxiliary equipment. And the auxiliary equipment receives the hash table of the distributed equipment, responds to the distribution network instruction and completes the distribution network task according to the hash table of the distributed equipment.

Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary distribution of a distribution network to be distributed according to some embodiments. As shown in fig. 9, in the process of distributing the network, a serial network distribution is performed on the devices to be distributed, and all the devices to be distributed are manually configured one by one through the configured devices. The time consumed by the distribution network is the sum of the distribution network time of each device to be distributed.

Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating the allocation of a device to be networked to a network of already-distributed devices according to some embodiments. Specifically, all the devices to be distributed are distributed to the corresponding devices which are distributed with the network one by one according to the method. As shown in fig. 10, according to the foregoing allocation method, the device a to be configured, the device c to be configured, and the device d to be configured are allocated to the configured device a. And distributing the equipment B to be distributed, the equipment e to be distributed and the equipment f to be distributed to the distributed equipment B. And distributing the equipment g to be distributed, the equipment h to be distributed and the equipment f to be distributed to the distributed equipment C, and distributing the equipment 10 to be distributed to the distributed equipment D. Therefore, each distributed network device is distributed with three devices to be distributed, the distribution network quantity of each distributed network device can be ensured to be about the average level, and distribution network task distribution is more reasonable. In the process of distribution, the time for distribution of the network-distributed device a is longest, so the time spent in the whole process of distribution is the time for distribution of the network-distributed device a. Due to the exclusivity of the Bluetooth module in the communicator, the distributed network equipment A, the distributed network equipment B, the distributed network equipment C and the distributed network equipment D respectively carry out parallel network distribution on each network equipment to be distributed one by one. Compared with the serial distribution network process, the distribution network time spent in the parallel distribution network process is obviously reduced, the time for a user to wait for the distribution network is reduced, and the user experience is improved.
