401. the radio frequency device broadcasts a probe signal.

In this embodiment, the rf device has the capability of communicating with other devices via rf or network, and based on this capability, the rf device can broadcast the probe signal to identify all the networked devices within its identifiable range when it is powered on. The detection signal broadcast by the radio frequency device at least carries the device identifier, the location information, and the like of the radio frequency device. The recognizable range of the radio frequency device is determined by the signal transmitting capability of the radio frequency device itself, and the recognizable range of the radio frequency device may be a circumferential range with the radio frequency device as a center and a preset distance as a radius, where the preset distance may be 2 meters, 3 meters, 6 meters, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.

402. When receiving the detection signal, the networking device returns a response signal, and the response signal at least carries the radio frequency identification of the networking device.

Since the networking device in this embodiment also has the capability of communicating with other devices in a radio frequency manner or a network manner, when the networking device is in a power-on state and is within the recognizable range of the radio frequency device, the networking device may receive the probe signal broadcast by the radio frequency device. When receiving the detection signal broadcast by the radio frequency device, the networking device not connected to the network returns a response signal to the radio frequency device to trigger the radio frequency device to execute the operation of selecting the gateway to be connected for the networking device. Wherein, the response signal at least carries the radio frequency identification of the networking device.

In addition, in this embodiment, after the networking device is powered on, connectable gateways can be queried, and specific querying methods include the following:

in the first mode, after the network device to be connected is started, the network device automatically enters an inquiry state, inquires the surrounding gateway in the starting state, and takes the inquired gateway as a connectable gateway.

In the second mode, the gateway sends the broadcast message at regular time, receives the broadcast message sent by the surrounding gateways after the networking equipment to be connected is started, and takes the source gateway of the broadcast message as a connectable gateway according to the received broadcast message.

And in the third mode, the gateway detects the surrounding networking equipment in the power-on state, when detecting that certain networking equipment is in the power-on state, the gateway sends the broadcast message to the networking equipment to be connected in the power-on state, and when receiving the broadcast message sent by the gateway, the networking equipment takes the source gateway of the broadcast message as a connectable gateway according to the received broadcast source.

403. When a response signal returned by the networking equipment is received, the radio frequency equipment sends an inquiry request to the server according to the received radio frequency identification, and the inquiry request at least carries the radio frequency identification of the networking equipment.

When receiving a response signal returned by the networking equipment, the radio frequency equipment sends an inquiry request to the server according to the radio frequency identification carried in the response signal so as to obtain the physical address of the networking equipment, and selects a gateway to be connected for the networking equipment according to the physical address of the networking equipment. The physical address of the networking device may be a Media Access Control (MAC) address, etc.

404. When receiving an inquiry request sent by the radio frequency equipment, the server inquires a physical address corresponding to the radio frequency identification from the first database according to the received radio frequency identification.

In this embodiment, when each device is produced, a device manufacturer installs a radio frequency chip for each networking device, the radio frequency chip records a radio frequency identifier and a corresponding physical address of each networking device, when the device leaves a factory, the device manufacturer uploads the corresponding relationship between the radio frequency identifier and the physical address of each device recorded in the radio frequency chip to a first database, and the first database is maintained by the device manufacturer, for example, the device manufacturer updates the first database regularly, checks regularly, upgrades the system, and the like. The storage form of the correspondence between the radio frequency identifier and the physical address in the first database may be a table form or a matrix form, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment. The following is an example of storing the correspondence between the rfid and the physical address in a table format, and is specifically shown in table 1.

TABLE 1

Networking device	Radio frequency identification	Physical address
			Networking device 1	A	08:00:20:0A:8C:6D
Networking device two	B	08:00:20:3A:5C:4D
			Networking device III	C	08:00:20:4A:3C:6D

Based on the correspondence between the radio frequency identifier and the physical address stored in the first database, when receiving an inquiry request sent by the radio frequency device, the server may inquire the physical address corresponding to the radio frequency identifier from the first data. Taking the table 1 as an example, if the radio frequency identifier received by the server is B, the server may query that the physical address corresponding to the radio frequency identifier B is 08:00:20:3A:5C:4D according to the correspondence between the radio frequency identifier and the physical address stored in the table 1.

405. And the server sends the physical address corresponding to the radio frequency identification to the radio frequency equipment.

After the server inquires the physical address corresponding to the radio frequency identification from the first database according to the received radio frequency identification, the server sends the physical address corresponding to the radio frequency identification to the radio frequency equipment, and the radio frequency equipment searches for a gateway connected with the networking equipment according to the physical address.

406. And when the physical address sent by the server is received, the radio frequency equipment determines the designated gateway according to the response signal.

And the designated gateway is a gateway to be accessed of the networking equipment corresponding to the radio frequency identification.

Regarding the manner in which the rf device determines the designated gateway according to the response signal, the following manners are included, but not limited to:

in the first mode, the radio frequency device determines a gateway belonging to the same user as the networking device as a designated gateway.

For this way, when each device is sold, the device seller records user identity information of each user who purchases the device, such as name, identification number, passport number, telephone number, instant messaging number, and so on, and uploads the corresponding relationship between the radio frequency identification of each device and the user identity information to a second database, which is maintained by the device seller, for example, the device seller needs to update the second database periodically, check periodically, upgrade the system, and so on. Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the user query, the equipment seller also provides a network service interface for the user to query the radio frequency identification according to the user identity information.

Based on the second database, the radio frequency device may send an inquiry request to the server according to the radio frequency identifier carried in the response signal, and the server inquires the user identity information corresponding to the radio frequency identifier from the second database according to the radio frequency identifier.

In the second mode, the radio frequency device determines the gateway corresponding to the gateway identifier carrying the gateway to be accessed in the response signal as the designated gateway.

For this way, when each networking device that receives the probe signal returns a response signal to the radio frequency device, the response signal may carry the gateway identifier of the gateway to be accessed. Based on the gateway identifier of the gateway to be accessed, when the radio frequency device determines the designated gateway according to the response signal, the radio frequency device may determine the gateway to be accessed according to the gateway identifier of the gateway to be accessed, and further determine the gateway to be accessed as the designated gateway.

In a third mode, the radio frequency device determines a gateway located in a location area where the networking device is located as a designated gateway.

For this way, when each networking device receiving the probe signal returns a response signal to the radio frequency device, LBS information of the networking device may be carried in the response signal. Based on the LBS information, when the radio frequency equipment determines the designated gateway according to the response signal, the location area where the networking equipment corresponding to the radio frequency identification is located can be determined according to the LBS information, the gateway located in the location area is further inquired, and the gateway located in the location area is determined as the designated gateway.

407. And the radio frequency equipment sends an indication message to the specified gateway.

And when the specified gateway is determined, the radio frequency equipment sends an indication message to the specified gateway, wherein the indication message is used for indicating the specified gateway to add the physical address corresponding to the radio frequency identification into the connection list. The connection list may be a memory connection pool of the designated gateway, records physical addresses of a plurality of networking devices, and indicates a connection relationship between the designated gateway and the physical addresses of the networking devices, for example, may indicate that the designated gateway allows the networking device to access when receiving a connection request sent by the networking device corresponding to any physical address in the connection list, may also indicate that the designated gateway maintains a connection with the networking device corresponding to any physical address in the list, and so on. Through the connection list, the networking equipment can also complete the connection setting with the designated gateway under the condition of shutdown state or sudden power failure, and the designated gateway does not need to actively poll or connect the networking equipment, so that the electric energy can be saved, and the service performance and the safety of the gateway are improved.

408. And based on the received indication message, when a connection request sent by the networking equipment is received, the specified gateway establishes connection with the networking equipment.

And after receiving the indication message, the designated gateway adds the physical address corresponding to the radio frequency identification into the connection list. In addition, the designated gateway sends a message to the networking device corresponding to the radio frequency identification to inform the networking device that the designated gateway can be accessed.

And after receiving the connection request sent by the networking equipment, identifying the networking equipment sending the connection request, and when the physical address of the networking equipment sending the connection request is in the connection list, establishing connection with the networking equipment. In this embodiment, when the physical address of the networking device that sends the connection request is not in the connection list, the specified gateway may ignore the connection request sent by the networking device, and may also reject the connection request sent by the networking device and return a reject message to the networking device. Of course, the designated gateway may also take other forms, and this embodiment is not limited to this specifically. In the process, because the networking device does not establish connection with the selected gateway within the preset time length, the networking device sends connection requests to other connectable gateways until the connection is successful. If the networking device is not successfully connected with all connectable gateways, the user can press a reset key on the networking device to be connected to reset the networking device so as to connect with the network in other modes.

In this embodiment, the connection established between the gateway and the networking device may be a network connection, or may also be a short-distance wireless connection such as a bluetooth connection or an infrared connection. Of course, the connection established between the gateway and the networking device may also be in other forms, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

After the connection with the networking equipment is established, the appointed gateway also sends a notification message to the networking equipment, wherein the notification message is used for notifying the networking equipment that the connection with the gateway is established, so that the user can check the working condition of the networking equipment through the terminal browser after receiving the notification message. For example, a user installs an intelligent camera in an office, connects the intelligent camera to a network by the method provided by the embodiment, and can check the picture shot by the intelligent camera on a personal computer through a network browser anytime and anywhere when the user is on a business trip.

In order to avoid user information leakage caused by loss of the networking equipment, when any networking equipment connected to the network of the user is lost, the user can also send a locking request to the server, wherein the locking request at least carries user identity information. When receiving a locking request sent by a user, the server can inquire the equipment identifier corresponding to the user identity information from the second database according to the user identity information, and further lock the networking equipment corresponding to the equipment identifier, so that other users can hardly use the networking equipment.

Because the system version of the server is continuously updated, when the system version of the server is updated, the networking device may be unable to connect to the network, and the networking device needs to update its own operating system.

To better understand the process of connecting the networked devices to the gateway, the following description will proceed with reference to fig. 5 as an example.

The equipment manufacturer installs a radio frequency chip for each networking device, the radio frequency chip records the radio frequency identification and the corresponding physical address of each networking device, and when the equipment leaves a factory, the equipment manufacturer uploads the corresponding relationship of the radio frequency identification and the physical address of each device recorded in the radio frequency chip to the first database. After the networking device is powered on, the gateway wakes up the networking device by sending a broadcast message to the networking device so that the networking device queries the connectable gateway. Meanwhile, the radio frequency equipment broadcasts a detection signal, after a response signal returned by the networking equipment is received, according to the radio frequency identification carried in the response signal, the physical address of the networking equipment is inquired from the server, the designated gateway is determined, and a connection instruction is sent to the designated gateway, so that the designated gateway establishes connection with the networking equipment when receiving a connection request sent by the networking equipment.

In the method provided by this embodiment, based on the correspondence between the radio frequency identifier and the physical address stored in the server, the physical address corresponding to the radio frequency identifier is queried from the server, and after the specified gateway is determined according to the response signal sent by the networking device, an indication message for establishing connection with the networking device is sent to the specified gateway. In the process, the automatic connection between the gateway and the networking equipment can be realized without any complicated setting operation performed by a user, and the operation complexity is simplified. On this basis, the method provided by the embodiment also supports locking and retrieving of the networking device, and further improves information security.
