As an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, step S220 may further specifically include the following steps:

s224, the server determines the current positioning information of the second device associated with the first device, and takes the current positioning information as the installation information of the first device.

S225, the server analyzes the equipment codes in the identification information and determines that the circulation limiting information is a preset circulation area of the first equipment.

And S226, the server determines that the first equipment passes the verification of circulation legitimacy under the condition that the installation information is matched with the preset circulation area of the first equipment.

By adopting the remote unlocking method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the server side firstly determines the installation information of the first equipment based on the current positioning information of the second equipment, then determines the circulation limiting information of the first equipment based on the equipment code of the identification information, and further verifies the circulation legitimacy of the first equipment based on the installation information and the circulation limiting information of the first equipment; unlocking the first device under the condition that the first device passes through the verification of the circulation legitimacy; the steps are executed by the control server to solve the locking problem of different types of equipment, the equipment in a locked state is subjected to remote circulation validity verification operation, and remote unlocking control of the locked equipment is realized, so that the problem of increased after-sales service cost caused by a manual door-opening unlocking mode is effectively solved.

In step S224, the installation information of the first device is determined by: determining current location information of a second device associated with the first device; and taking the current positioning information as the installation information of the first equipment. Taking a mobile phone with a second device as a user as an example, the mobile phone needs to have a bluetooth communication function and a positioning function, wherein the bluetooth communication function of the mobile phone is used for carrying out bluetooth communication with a bluetooth module of the first device. Thus, the server side can receive the current positioning information of the mobile phone so as to determine the current positioning information as the installation information of the first device. The installation information of the first device refers to geographical coordinates of the installation of the first device.

In step S225, determining circulation limiting information of the first device according to the identification information, including: analyzing the equipment codes in the identification information, and determining a preset circulation area of the first equipment; and determining the circulation limiting information as a preset circulation area of the first equipment. Wherein the device code includes a plurality of fields; in particular, the device code may include a field representing a vendor code, a field representing a device type, a field representing production information, a field representing a circulation area, and the like. The server identifies a field representing the circulation area based on the device code, and determines an authorized sales area of the first device based on the field, wherein the authorized sales area can be used as a preset circulation area of the first device.

In step S226, in some embodiments, performing a circulation legitimacy verification on the first device according to the installation information and the circulation defining information, including: and under the condition that the installation information accords with the circulation limiting information, determining that the first equipment passes the verification of circulation legitimacy. Matching the geographical coordinates of the installation of the first equipment with the authorized sales areas of the first equipment; if the installed geographic coordinates accord with the authorized sales region, the representative installation information accords with circulation limiting information; at this point it may be determined that the first device passes the flow-through legitimacy verification.

The server side can determine whether the installation information of the first device accords with preset circulation limiting information through the execution of the steps; under the condition that the geographic coordinates of the first equipment do not accord with the authorized sales region, the server side considers that the first equipment has unauthorized circulation conditions, and the unlocking condition of the first equipment is not met. Under the condition that the geographic coordinates of the first equipment accord with the authorized sales region, the server side considers that the first equipment belongs to legal circulation, and then determines that the first equipment accords with the unlocking condition, and can execute the subsequent unlocking related steps.

Optionally, unlocking the first device includes: sending an after-sales mode starting instruction to the first equipment; and sending an unlocking instruction to the first device when the first device operates in the after-sale mode. Thus, the first device receives the unlocking instruction, so that the first device can execute the unlocking instruction, and the remote unlocking control of the first device is realized.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the first device is in the after-sale mode, the first device may enable a transparent transmission channel directly leading to the device backplane, so that the service end performs unlocking control on the first device. The transparent transmission channel can be used for representing the information transmission channel of the first device, which directly transmits the data to the device bottom plate without any processing or analysis of the data when the Bluetooth module of the first device transmits the data with the server. In this way, when the first device operates in the after-sales mode, the control command sent by the received server can be safely transmitted to the device bottom plate, so that the device bottom plate can quickly make a corresponding response action.

Specifically, the server may generate an after-sales mode start instruction under the condition that the first device passes through the verification of the circulation legitimacy, and send the after-sales mode start instruction to the first device, so that the first device operates the after-sales mode in response to the after-sales mode start instruction.

Further, the server generates an unlocking instruction under the condition that the first device is determined to operate in an after-sale mode, and sends the unlocking instruction to the first device, so that the first device responds to the unlocking instruction to execute unlocking operation. The server side can determine the running state information of the first equipment by acquiring the detection information of the self-checking sensor of the first equipment; and the server determines that the first equipment operates in the after-sales mode under the condition that the operation state information of the first equipment is determined to indicate that the first equipment is in the after-sales mode.

The first device may be configured with a bluetooth module, and the server may establish bluetooth connection with the bluetooth module of the first device, so as to implement communication between the server and the first device.

Specifically, the authentication request sent by the server side to the first device may be an identity authentication request; the server side can determine whether the server side passes the identity authentication of the first device by receiving the authentication result fed back by the first device. The authentication result indicates that the authentication is passed, and indicates that the server passes the identity authentication of the first device.

Specifically, the identity authentication may include the steps of: the server establishes bluetooth connection with the bluetooth module of the first device, and the server sends an identity authentication request to the first device, where the identity authentication request sent by the server may include a request to the first device to disclose a bluetooth address, a device name, a service list, and the like to the first device.

As an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, step S300 may further specifically include the following steps:

s310, the server side sends an authentication request to the first device.

S320, the server generates a start instruction of the after-sales mode when the received authentication result indicates that the authentication is passed.

S330, the server side sends an after-sales mode starting instruction to the first device.

And S340, the server side sends an unlocking instruction to the first equipment under the condition that the first equipment operates in an after-sale mode.

By adopting the remote unlocking method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the server increases the authentication operation of sending the authentication request to the first device under the condition that the first device passes through the verification of the circulation legitimacy, so as to ensure that the server has unlocking authority to the first device, and then sends an unlocking instruction to the first device under the condition that the first device is in an after-sale mode so as to unlock the first device. Therefore, the validity of the unlocking operation is guaranteed through the bidirectional verification between the server side and the first equipment, so that the remote unlocking control of the locked first equipment is realized, the problem of the increase of after-sales service cost caused by a manual door-on unlocking mode is effectively solved, and the waiting time of a user after the first equipment is locked is shortened.

In practical application, as shown in fig. 7, in order to determine whether there is a device in a locked state, the server executes step S110 to obtain current state information of the first device, and when the current state information of the first device indicates that the first device is in the locked state, executes step S100 to determine the first device in the locked state and the device type thereof. Then, the server executes step S210 to determine a target verification manner matched with the device type of the first device; and verifying the circulation legitimacy of the first device in a target verification mode. Specifically, the server executes step S224 to obtain current positioning information of the second device, and determines the current positioning information as the installed geographic coordinates of the first device; the server executes step S225 to obtain the device code of the first device, and determines the preset circulation area of the first device according to the device code. Further, the server executes step S226 to determine that the first device passes the circulation validity verification when the installed geographic coordinates of the first device conform to the preset circulation area of the first device. And finally, the server executes step S300 to unlock the first equipment under the condition that the first equipment passes the verification of the circulation legitimacy.

As shown in connection with fig. 8, the process of unlocking the first device may specifically include the following processes: in the case that the server determines that the first device passes the flow verification, step S310 is executed to send an authentication request to the first device. After receiving the authentication request, the first device performs step S321 to feed back the result of passing the authentication to the server. Then, the server continues to execute S320 to generate a start instruction of the after-sales mode; and performs step S330 of transmitting an after-sales mode start instruction to the first device. After receiving the after-sale mode starting instruction, the first device executes step S331 to run the after-sale mode, and the server executes step S340 to send an unlocking instruction to the first device when determining that the first device is in the after-sale mode. Finally, the first device responds to the unlocking instruction, and step S341 is executed to execute the unlocking instruction, so that the server side realizes remote unlocking control for the first device.
