As shown in fig. 5, in one embodiment, a method for binding devices is provided, and this embodiment is illustrated by applying the method to the mobile terminal 104 in fig. 1 and 3. The method specifically comprises the following steps:

step 502, scanning the corresponding graphic code of the controlled device to obtain the device serial number.

Specifically, scanning refers to a process of acquiring and analyzing a graphic code by a camera. The mobile terminal obtains and analyzes the graphic code corresponding to the controlled equipment through a camera of the mobile terminal to obtain the equipment serial number included in the graphic code. The device serial number is a character string that uniquely identifies the controlled device and may include at least one of numbers, letters, and punctuation marks. The corresponding graphic code of the controlled device can be arranged on the controlled device shell, the packaging box or the device specification, wherein the arrangement is printed or attached, and the graphic code can also be displayed on the display screen of the controlled device.

The graphic code is a graphic obtained by encoding a character or a character string having a meaning expression function, and includes a two-dimensional code, a barcode, and the like. The bar code is a graphic identifier which arranges a plurality of black bars and blanks with different widths according to a certain coding rule and is used for expressing a group of information. Common bar codes are a pattern of parallel lines of dark bars (simply bars) and white bars (simply spaces) of widely differing reflectivity. The two-dimensional code is a bar code for recording data symbol information by black and white figures distributed in a plane two-dimensional direction according to a certain rule by using a certain specific geometric figure. The two-dimensional Code can be divided into a stacked type or row-by-row type and a matrix type two-dimensional Code, wherein the stacked type or row-by-row type two-dimensional Code coding principle is based on a one-dimensional bar Code and is stacked into two or more rows according to requirements, and representative two-dimensional codes comprise Code 16K, Code 49, PDF417 and the like. The matrix type two-dimensional code is coded in a rectangular space through different distribution of black and white pixels in a matrix. On the corresponding element positions of the matrix, representing binary '1' by the appearance of points (square points, round points or other shapes), representing binary '0' by the absence of the points, and determining the meaning represented by the matrix type two-dimensional code by the arrangement and combination of the points; the representative matrix type two-dimensional code is as follows: code One, MaxiCode, QR Code, etc.

For example, an instant messaging application is run on the mobile terminal, and the new device page search shown in fig. 7 can be entered after an operation of a new device page search trigger control (601) is detected in a contact page shown in fig. 6 of the instant messaging application. The mobile terminal may also enter the search for a new device page as shown in fig. 7 after detecting the operation of the search for a new device page trigger control (802) in the tool menu (801) in the instant messaging message page as shown in fig. 8 of the instant messaging application. The mobile terminal can scan the graphic code to obtain the device serial number included in the graphic code in searching a new device page or jump to a special graphic code scanning page by searching the new device page.

Step 504, uploading the user identifier and the equipment serial number to a server, so that the server generates and stores an equipment binding record corresponding to the user identifier after establishing a binding relationship between the user identifier and the equipment serial number; the device binding record includes a device serial number.

Specifically, the mobile terminal sends an equipment binding request carrying the user identifier and the equipment serial number to the server, so as to upload the user identifier and the equipment serial number to the server. The user Identifier is a character string that uniquely identifies the user, and may include at least one of numbers, letters, and punctuation marks, and the user Identifier may be an instant messaging account or a UUID (universal Unique Identifier).

And after receiving the equipment binding request, the server establishes the binding relationship between the user identification and the equipment serial number according to the equipment binding request. After establishing the binding relationship between the user identification and the equipment serial number, the server generates and stores an equipment binding record corresponding to the user identification, wherein the equipment binding record at least comprises the equipment serial number. The device binding record may be used to indicate that the corresponding controlled device has been successfully device bound by the corresponding user.

In an embodiment, the device binding record may further include a corresponding user identifier, and the step of generating and storing the device binding record corresponding to the user identifier specifically includes: a device binding record is generated that includes the user identification and the device serial number. The user identification in the device binding record may be used as an index to the device binding record. In this embodiment, each device binding record includes a corresponding user identifier, which is convenient for performing centralized management on the device binding records.

In one embodiment, the step of generating and storing the device binding record corresponding to the user identifier specifically includes: and generating a device binding record corresponding to the user identification and storing the device binding record in a storage area corresponding to the user identification. In this embodiment, each user has an independent storage area for storing the device binding record, which is convenient for searching.

In one embodiment, the mobile terminal may receive a unique device account assigned corresponding to the device serial number and returned by the server after establishing the binding relationship between the user identifier and the device serial number, and transmit the device account to the controlled device, so that the controlled device logs in the server according to the device account.

Step 506, pull the list of device binding records corresponding to the user identification from the server.

Specifically, the mobile terminal sends an equipment binding record pulling request carrying the user identifier to the server, so that the server queries the equipment binding record corresponding to the user identifier and stored in the server according to the equipment binding record pulling request and feeds the equipment binding record back to the mobile terminal. And the mobile terminal receives the equipment binding record fed back by the server to form a list and displays the list. If the server does not store the equipment binding record corresponding to the user identifier, a notification of no equipment binding record is returned to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal can prompt the user that the user does not have the operation of binding equipment according to the notification.

In one embodiment, before performing step 506, the mobile terminal may send a unbinding request carrying the ue identity and the device serial number to the server, so that the server unbinds the binding relationship between the ue identity and the device serial number. Of course, the corresponding binding relationship may not be released before the binding relationship is reestablished.

Specifically, the mobile terminal may detect that an operation of the control 701 is triggered when a query request for the device binding record in the new device searching page shown in fig. 7 is detected, enter a device binding record list page shown in fig. 9, and display a list of the device binding records pulled from the server in the device binding record list page. The mobile terminal may also display an internet of things public service page shown in fig. 10 corresponding to the internet of things public service account, so as to detect an operation of triggering the control 1001 for an equipment binding record query request in the internet of things public service page, and enter an equipment binding record list page shown in fig. 9. The internet of things public service account refers to an account which is set by a server and interacts with a user related to the internet of things. The internet of things public service page comprises a message session page used for displaying session information when a user carries out a session with the internet of things public service account. If the mobile terminal does not pull the device binding record, a prompt that the user has no operation of binding the device, such as prompt 1101 in fig. 11, may be displayed on the device binding record list page shown in fig. 11.

Step 508, select the device binding record from the list and notify the server, so that the server reestablishes the binding relationship between the user identifier and the device serial number in the selected device binding record.

Specifically, the mobile terminal obtains a selection instruction input by a user, so that the device binding record is selected from the list according to the selection instruction. The selection instruction can be triggered by operations such as point touch and sliding of a touch screen of the mobile terminal, can also be triggered by physical keys, and can also be triggered by an external input device (such as a mouse).

The mobile terminal may send the user identification and device serial number to the server to inform the server of the selected device binding record, where the user identification and device serial number may uniquely locate the device binding record stored on the mobile terminal. And after receiving the user identification and the equipment serial number sent by the mobile terminal, the server reestablishes the binding relationship between the received user identification and the equipment serial number.

In one embodiment, if the device binding record has a record identifier, the mobile terminal may also send the record identifier of the selected device binding record to the server to notify the server of the selected device binding record. The server can inquire the corresponding equipment binding record according to the record identifier sent by the mobile terminal, and obtain the user identifier corresponding to the equipment binding record and the equipment serial number in the equipment binding record, so as to reestablish the binding relationship between the user identifier and the equipment serial number.

In one embodiment, the mobile terminal may receive a unique device account assigned corresponding to the device serial number and returned by the server after the binding relationship between the user identifier and the device serial number is reestablished, and transmit the device account to the controlled device, so that the controlled device logs in the server according to the device account. Therefore, the server can manage the controlled equipment through the equipment account, and new equipment accounts are distributed after the equipment is bound each time, so that the recycling of the equipment accounts is facilitated.

According to the method for binding the equipment, the equipment serial number of the controlled equipment is obtained in a mode of scanning the graphic code, and the equipment serial number can uniquely identify the corresponding controlled equipment, so that the user identification and the equipment serial number are uploaded to the server, and the binding relationship between the user identification and the equipment serial number can be established on the server. A series of operations of the binding equipment can be automatically triggered only by scanning the graphic code, so that the operation is simple and convenient, and the operation convenience is improved. And in consideration of the situation that the graphic code of the controlled device is possibly lost, the server generates and stores a device binding record corresponding to the user identifier after establishing the binding relationship. Therefore, after the user binds the equipment, even if the graphic code of the controlled equipment is lost in the subsequent use process, the binding relationship can be reestablished through the equipment binding record stored in the server, the equipment can be safely and quickly bound again, and the situation that the equipment cannot be bound due to the loss of the graphic code can be effectively avoided.

In one embodiment, the device binding record further includes a binding time; the server reestablishes the binding relationship between the user identifier and the device serial number in the selected device binding record, and the method further comprises the following steps: and the server updates the binding time in the selected equipment binding record on the server and rearranges the equipment binding records stored corresponding to the user identifier on the server in a descending order according to the binding time.

Wherein, the binding time is used to represent the time for establishing the binding relationship. The binding time may be an absolute time representing a specific point in time, such as X years, X months, X days, X hours, X minutes; the binding time may also be a relative time starting from a preset absolute time point, for example, the binding time may be expressed as a number of seconds different from the preset absolute time point.

Specifically, the server reestablishes the binding relationship between the user identifier and the device serial number in the selected device binding record, and updates the binding time in the corresponding device binding record stored on the server to the current time. And the server rearranges the device binding records stored thereon in descending order according to the binding time, that is, rearranges the device binding records in the order from late to early according to the binding time. Therefore, when executing step 506, the mobile terminal can directly pull the list of the device binding records corresponding to the user identifier according to the reverse order of the binding time, and the efficiency is improved.

For example, it is assumed that before the binding relationship between the user identifier and the device serial number in the selected device binding record is reestablished, the device binding record corresponding to the user identifier stored on the server is shown in table one, where each row is a device binding record.

Table one:

device serial number	Binding time
		00000001	2015/8/31 18:30
00000002	2015/8/15 16:15
		00000003	2015/7/16 18:10

If the device serial number in the selected device binding record is 00000003, after the server reestablishes the binding relationship between the user identifier and the device serial number, the server updates the binding time in the device binding record selected on the server to be the current time such as 2015/9/1515: 30, and rearranges the device binding records stored corresponding to the user identifier in descending order of the binding time, and the result is shown in table two:

table two:

device serial number	Binding time
		00000003	2015/9/15 15:30
00000001	2015/8/31 18:30
		00000002	2015/8/15 16:15

In this embodiment, after the server reestablishes the binding relationship, the server updates the binding time in the corresponding device binding record, and rearranges all device binding records corresponding to the user identifier. Therefore, the device binding records of the recently bound controlled devices are arranged in the front, and the mobile terminal can preferentially pull the device binding records of the recently bound controlled devices when pulling the list. Therefore, the higher the possibility that the recently bound controlled device is reused by the user is, the higher the efficiency of selecting the device binding record when the user binds the device again is facilitated, and the efficiency of binding the device again is improved.

In one embodiment, step 506 includes: and pulling a list of the equipment binding records corresponding to the user identification from the server for multiple times, and pulling a preset number of equipment binding records in a descending order according to the binding time each time.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal pulls the list of the device binding records corresponding to the user identifier from the server in an asynchronous loading manner. Specifically, the preset number of device binding records are pulled in a descending order according to the binding time each time, so that the list of the device binding records is pulled for multiple times. And the specific pulling times are determined according to the total number of the device binding records corresponding to the user identification and the preset number. Therefore, the list of the equipment binding records is pulled through asynchronous loading, and the equipment binding records of the controlled equipment bound by the user recently can be quickly obtained each time according to the descending order of the binding time, so that the equipment re-binding efficiency is improved.

For example, if there are 19 device binding records corresponding to the user identifier and the preset number is 10, the mobile terminal may pull the first 10 device binding records for the first time and pull the remaining 9 device binding records for the next time.

In one embodiment, the mobile terminal may pull a preset number of device binding records in a descending order of binding time each time after receiving a user operation instruction. Therefore, the mobile terminal loads a part of the equipment binding records each time, continues to load the equipment binding records after the user operates the equipment binding records, and does not pull other equipment binding records if the user finds the equipment binding records of the controlled equipment needing to be bound, so that the network bandwidth resources can be saved.

Referring to fig. 12, in an embodiment, the device binding record further includes a device type identifier, and step 508 specifically includes the following steps:

step 1202 selects a device binding record from the list.

Specifically, the mobile terminal may obtain a selection instruction of a list presented by the user in the device binding record list page as shown in fig. 9, and select a device binding record from the list according to the selection instruction. The selection instruction can be triggered by operations such as point touch, sliding and the like on a touch screen of the mobile terminal, can also be triggered by physical keys, and can also be triggered by an external input device.

Step 1204, obtain the device type identification and device serial number in the binding record of the selected device.

The device type identifier is used to uniquely identify a certain controlled device, and the device serial number is used to uniquely identify a controlled device. For example, a certain device provider a produces a kind of controlled devices B, and the controlled devices B of the kind all have the same device type identifier, but the device serial numbers of the controlled devices B are different from each other. The device type identifier may include at least one of a number, a letter, and a punctuation mark, and the device serial number may include at least one of a number, a letter, and a punctuation mark.

And step 1206, inquiring a corresponding device connection mode according to the obtained device type identifier.

Specifically, the mobile terminal queries the corresponding device connection mode according to the device type identifier, may query the corresponding device connection mode from a locally stored device connection mode list according to the device type identifier, and may also query the device connection mode corresponding to the device type identifier from the server. The device connection mode list comprises the corresponding relation between the device type identification and the device connection mode, and the mobile terminal can be downloaded from the server in advance. The device supplier can configure the device connection mode corresponding to the device type identification on the server in advance.

The device connection mode refers to a mode that the mobile terminal is connected with the controlled device. In one embodiment, the device connection mode is a wireless connection mode, and the device connection mode includes: at least one of a wireless lan connection method, a mobile Communication network connection method, an NFC (Near field Communication) connection method, and a bluetooth connection method.

The Wireless LAN connection mode includes a Wi-Fi connection mode and a WAPI (Wireless LAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure) connection mode. The Mobile Communication network connection method includes a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) connection method, a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) connection method, a CDMA2000 connection method, a WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) connection method, a TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) connection method, a TD-LTE (Time Division Long Term Evolution) connection method, and an FDD-LTE (Frequency Division duplex Long Term Evolution) connection method.

And step 1208, searching the controlled equipment corresponding to the obtained equipment serial number according to the inquired equipment connection mode to establish connection.

Specifically, the mobile terminal searches for the controlled device corresponding to the device serial number according to the inquired device connection mode, and establishes connection with the searched controlled device. The mobile terminal may have a plurality of controlled devices in the environment where the mobile terminal is located, and the mobile terminal may filter the searched controlled devices and only retain the controlled devices corresponding to the device serial numbers.

In one embodiment, after querying the device connection method, the mobile terminal detects whether the function of the queried device connection method is started, and if so, executes step 506; if not, the queried device connection mode function is automatically started and then step 506 is executed, or the user is prompted to start. If the inquired device connection mode is the Wi-Fi connection mode, detecting whether the Wi-Fi function of the mobile terminal is started, if not, automatically starting the Wi-Fi function, then searching the controlled device in the Wi-Fi connection mode and establishing connection, or prompting the user to start the Wi-Fi function, and after the user confirms that the controlled device is started, searching the controlled device in the Wi-Fi connection mode and establishing connection.

The wireless local area network connection mode comprises a wireless local area network connection mode in a routing mode, a wireless local area network connection mode in a routing relay mode and a wireless local area network connection mode in a broadcast mode. In the routing mode, the mobile terminal searches the controlled equipment corresponding to the equipment serial number in the wireless local area network established by the router, so that the router is used as an intermediary to establish connection. In the route relay mode, the mobile terminal can be used as a route relay to search the controlled equipment corresponding to the equipment serial number and directly establish connection with the searched controlled equipment; or the mobile terminal can search the controlled equipment corresponding to the equipment serial number and used as the route relay, and directly establish connection with the searched controlled equipment. In the broadcast mode, the mobile terminal can broadcast a wireless signal, search for controlled equipment corresponding to the equipment serial number, and directly establish connection with the searched controlled equipment.

Step 1210, after the connection is successfully established, uploading the user identifier and the obtained device serial number to the server, so that the server reestablishes the binding relationship between the user identifier and the obtained device serial number.

Specifically, after the mobile terminal successfully establishes a connection with the searched controlled device, the mobile terminal sends a device binding request carrying the user identifier and the device serial number to the server, so that the server reestablishes the binding relationship between the user identifier and the device serial number carried by the device binding request according to the device binding request.

In this embodiment, the device connection mode may be determined according to the device type identifier, and the device serial number may uniquely identify the corresponding network access device. Therefore, according to the inquired equipment connection mode, the controlled equipment corresponding to the equipment serial number can be automatically searched and connection can be established. And then the user identification and the equipment serial number are uploaded to the server, so that the binding relationship between the user identification and the equipment serial number can be reestablished in the server, the operation is simple and convenient, and the operation convenience is improved. Wherein after successfully establishing the connection with the controlled device, the user identifier and the device serial number are sent to indicate that the graphic code is correct and that the controlled device is discoverable and connectable, which can ensure that the binding relationship is valid.

In one embodiment, before step 1206, further comprising: detecting whether connection can be established with controlled equipment corresponding to the equipment serial number or not through a preset connection mode; if yes, go to step 1210; if not, go to step 1206.

Specifically, the device connection mode includes: at least one of a wireless local area network connection mode, a mobile communication network connection mode, an NFC connection mode and a Bluetooth connection mode. The preset connection mode may be a device connection mode adopted by the last device connection, or a default device connection mode designated in advance.

In this embodiment, an attempt is made to search for the controlled device corresponding to the device serial number through the preset connection mode, and if the connection is found, the connection is directly established, and at this time, it is detected that the connection can be established with the controlled device corresponding to the device serial number, and then the device connection mode does not need to be queried, so that the efficiency is improved. If the controlled equipment corresponding to the equipment serial number is tried to be searched in the preset connection mode and is not searched, or the connection cannot be established after the controlled equipment corresponding to the equipment serial number is searched, the connection with the controlled equipment corresponding to the equipment serial number is detected to be unavailable, and the equipment connection mode is inquired again at this moment and the connection is established according to the searched controlled equipment.

In one embodiment, step 502 includes: scanning a graphic code corresponding to the controlled device to obtain a device serial number and a device type identifier, and after step 502, including: inquiring a corresponding device connection mode according to the device type identifier; searching controlled equipment corresponding to the equipment serial number according to the inquired equipment connection mode to establish connection; step 504 is performed after the connection is successfully established.

As shown in fig. 13, in an embodiment, the step 1210 specifically includes the following steps:

in step 1302, after the connection is successfully established, the device binding page is skipped.

Specifically, after the connection between the controlled devices corresponding to the device serial numbers is successfully established, the mobile terminal jumps to the device binding page shown in fig. 14. The device binding page is a page for binding the user identifier and the serial number.

In an embodiment, the controlled device is a network access device, and after the mobile terminal successfully establishes a connection with the controlled device, if it is detected that the controlled device does not join the wireless local area network, a device network configuration page as shown in fig. 15 is displayed, access authentication information required for accessing the wireless local area network, such as a network name and a corresponding authentication password, is acquired, and the access authentication information is sent to the controlled device, so that the controlled device accesses the wireless local area network according to the access authentication information. Therefore, the controlled equipment can receive the remote control instruction of the mobile terminal.

Step 1304, displaying the device information corresponding to the obtained device serial number in the device binding page.

Specifically, the device information corresponding to the device serial number is information for describing the corresponding controlled device, and includes at least one of a device image, device introduction information, a device serial number, and a device type number. The mobile terminal can also display user information corresponding to the user identification in the device binding page. The user information is information for describing user attributes, and comprises at least one of a user head portrait, a user identification and user introduction information. The mobile terminal displays the equipment information and the user information in the equipment binding page, so that a user can visually confirm the user identification and the equipment serial number to be bound.

At step 1306, a confirm bind instruction triggered in the device bind page is received.

Specifically, the device binding page includes a confirm bound control 1401 and a cancel bound control 1402. After detecting the operation of the control 1401 for confirming the binding, for example, clicking, the mobile terminal triggers a binding confirmation instruction. After detecting the operation of the control 1402 for canceling binding, the mobile terminal triggers a command for canceling binding and jumps to a specified page. Such as a contacts page, a search for new devices page, or an instant messaging page.

Step 1308, according to the binding confirmation instruction, uploading the user identifier and the obtained device serial number to the server, so that the server reestablishes the binding relationship between the user identifier and the obtained device serial number.

Specifically, after the mobile terminal obtains the binding confirmation instruction, the binding relationship between the user identifier and the equipment serial number is established in the server according to the binding confirmation instruction.

In the embodiment, a step of confirming the binding by the user is added, and although one step of operation is added, the correctness of the established binding relationship can be ensured, and both the convenience of operation and the correctness of the binding relationship are taken into consideration.

In one embodiment, step 1204 is followed by: inquiring whether a binding relationship between the user identification and the equipment serial number is established from the server; if the established binding relationship is inquired, jumping to an equipment control page corresponding to the network equipment serial number, triggering a control instruction in the equipment control page, and sending the control instruction to the controlled equipment through direct connection or a server; if the binding relationship is not found, go to step 1206.

Specifically, the device control page is a page for controlling the controlled device, and the controlled page may include a plurality of controls each having a different function, for example, if the controlled device is a camera, the device control page may include a control for rotating the camera and a control for displaying an image captured by the camera. When the mobile terminal detects the operation of the control in the device control page, the mobile terminal triggers a control instruction corresponding to the control, and the mobile terminal can send the control instruction to the controlled device through point-to-point direct connection with the controlled device, or can send the control instruction to the server and forwards the control instruction to the controlled device through the server. And the controlled equipment responds correspondingly after receiving the control command.

In this embodiment, by querying the binding state, if the binding relationship between the user identifier and the device serial number is established, no binding is required, the behavior of scanning the graphic code by the user may be determined as the behavior of accessing the corresponding controlled device, and the user may jump to the device control page, so that the user may control the bound controlled device.

In one embodiment, if the established binding relationship is inquired, a prompt page for prompting the established binding relationship can be displayed, and if a prompt page closing instruction is triggered in the prompt page, the prompt page is closed according to the prompt page closing instruction so as to return to the graphic code scanning page. And if the instruction for controlling the controlled equipment is triggered in the prompt page, jumping to an equipment control page corresponding to the serial number of the network equipment according to the instruction for controlling the controlled equipment, triggering the control instruction in the equipment control page, and sending the control instruction to the controlled equipment through direct connection or a server.

As shown in fig. 16, in one embodiment, a method for binding devices is provided, and this embodiment is illustrated by applying the method to the server in fig. 1 and fig. 2. The method specifically comprises the following steps:

step 1602, receiving the user identifier and the device serial number uploaded by the mobile terminal, where the device serial number is obtained by scanning a graphic code corresponding to the controlled device by the mobile terminal.

Specifically, the mobile terminal scans a graphic code corresponding to the controlled device to obtain a device serial number of the controlled device. Scanning refers to a process of acquiring and analyzing a graphic code through a camera. The specific mobile terminal obtains and analyzes the graphic code corresponding to the controlled equipment through a camera of the mobile terminal to obtain the equipment serial number included in the graphic code. The mobile terminal sends an equipment binding request carrying the user identification and the equipment serial number to the server so as to upload the user identification and the equipment serial number to the server. The graphic code corresponding to the scanned controlled device can be arranged on the controlled device shell, the packaging box or the device specification, wherein the arrangement is printed or attached, and the graphic code can also be displayed on the display screen of the controlled device.

For example, an instant messaging application is run on the mobile terminal, and the new device page search shown in fig. 7 can be entered after an operation of a new device page search trigger control (601) is detected in a contact page shown in fig. 6 of the instant messaging application. The mobile terminal can enter the search new device page shown in fig. 7 after detecting the operation of the search new device page trigger control (802) even in the tool menu (801) in the instant messaging message page shown in fig. 8 of the communication application. The mobile terminal can scan the graphic code to obtain the device serial number included in the graphic code in searching a new device page or jump to a special graphic code scanning page by searching the new device page.

Step 1604, establish a binding relationship between the user id and the device serial number.

Specifically, after receiving the device binding request, the server establishes a binding relationship between the user identifier and the device serial number according to the device binding request. In one embodiment, after step 1604 is performed, the server may assign a unique device account corresponding to the device serial number, and return the device account to the controlled device through the mobile terminal, so that the controlled device logs in to the server according to the device account.

Step 1606, generating and storing a device binding record corresponding to the user identifier, where the device binding record includes a device serial number.

Specifically, after establishing a binding relationship between the user identifier and the device serial number, the server generates and stores a device binding record corresponding to the user identifier, where the device binding record at least includes the device serial number. The device binding record may be used to indicate that the corresponding controlled device has been successfully device bound by the corresponding user.

Step 1608 provides the mobile terminal with a list of device binding records corresponding to the user identification.

Specifically, the mobile terminal sends an equipment binding record pulling request carrying the user identifier to the server, so that the server queries the equipment binding record corresponding to the user identifier and stored in the server according to the equipment binding record pulling request and feeds the equipment binding record back to the mobile terminal. And the mobile terminal receives the equipment binding record fed back by the server to form a list and displays the list. If the server does not store the device binding record corresponding to the user identifier, a notification of no device binding record is returned to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal can prompt the user that the device binding operation is not performed according to the notification.

Step 1610, the device binding record selected by the mobile terminal in the list is determined, so as to reestablish the binding relationship between the user identifier and the device serial number in the selected device binding record.

In one embodiment, after step 1610 is executed, the server may reassign a unique device account corresponding to the device serial number, and return the device account to the controlled device through the mobile terminal, so that the controlled device logs in to the server according to the device account.

According to the method for binding the equipment, the mobile terminal obtains the equipment serial number of the controlled equipment in a mode of scanning the graphic code, and the equipment serial number can uniquely identify the corresponding controlled equipment. Thus, the binding relationship between the user identification and the equipment serial number can be established after the user identification and the equipment serial number uploaded by the mobile terminal are received. A series of operations of the binding equipment can be automatically triggered only by scanning the graphic code, so that the operation is simple and convenient, and the operation convenience is improved. And in consideration of the situation that the graphic code of the controlled device is possibly lost, after the binding relationship is established, a device binding record corresponding to the user identifier is generated and stored. Therefore, after the user binds the equipment, even if the graphic code of the controlled equipment is lost in the subsequent use process, the binding relationship can be reestablished through the stored equipment binding record, the equipment can be safely and quickly bound again, and the condition that the equipment cannot be bound due to the loss of the graphic code can be effectively avoided.

In one embodiment, the device binding record further includes a binding time; after step 1610, the method further includes: and updating the binding time in the locally stored selected equipment binding records, and rearranging the locally stored equipment binding records corresponding to the user identifier in a descending order according to the binding time.

In one embodiment, after step 1604, the method further comprises: checking whether a corresponding equipment binding record is stored according to the user identification and the equipment serial number; if so, updating the binding time in the corresponding equipment binding record to the current time; if not, go to step 1606.

Specifically, after the server successfully establishes the binding relationship between the user identifier and the device serial number, it may be queried whether a device binding record including the device serial number corresponding to the user identifier is stored on the server. If yes, directly updating the binding time in the equipment binding record to be the current time; if not, a new device binding record corresponding to the user identifier may be created, and the device binding record includes the device serial number.

In one embodiment, step 1608 comprises: and providing a list of the equipment binding records corresponding to the user identification for the mobile terminal for multiple times, and providing a preset number of equipment binding records in descending order according to the binding time each time.

In one embodiment, the server may provide a preset number of device binding records to the mobile terminal in a descending order of the binding time after receiving a pull request sent by the mobile terminal each time, and the pull request is triggered by the mobile terminal after receiving a user operation instruction. Therefore, the mobile terminal loads a part of the equipment binding records each time, continues to load the equipment binding records after the user operates the equipment binding records, and does not pull other equipment binding records if the user finds the equipment binding records of the controlled equipment needing to be bound, so that the network bandwidth resources can be saved.

As shown in fig. 17, in one embodiment, the device binding record further includes a device type identification; step 1610 specifically comprises the following steps:

step 1702, receiving an equipment connection mode query request carrying the equipment type identifier in the selected equipment binding record sent by the mobile terminal.

Specifically, the mobile terminal may obtain a selection instruction of a list presented by the user in the device binding record list page as shown in fig. 9, and select a device binding record from the list according to the selection instruction. The selection instruction can be triggered by operations such as point touch, sliding and the like on a touch screen of the mobile terminal, can also be triggered by physical keys, and can also be triggered by an external input device. And the mobile terminal extracts the equipment type identifier from the selected equipment binding record, so as to send an equipment connection mode query request carrying the equipment type identifier to the server.

Step 1704, inquiring the device connection mode corresponding to the corresponding device type identifier according to the device connection mode inquiry request.

The device connection mode query request is used for requesting to query the device connection mode corresponding to the device type carried in the request. The server stores the corresponding relation between the equipment type identification and the corresponding equipment connection mode, and inquires the equipment connection mode corresponding to the equipment type identification carried by the equipment connection mode inquiry request according to the equipment connection mode inquiry request.

Step 1706, the queried device connection mode is fed back to the mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal establishes connection with the controlled device corresponding to the device serial number in the selected device binding record according to the fed back device connection mode.

Specifically, after inquiring the equipment connection mode, the server feeds back the inquired equipment connection mode to the mobile terminal; if the device connection mode is not inquired, a notification that the device connection mode is not inquired can be fed back to the mobile terminal.

And the mobile terminal establishes connection with the controlled equipment corresponding to the equipment serial number obtained by scanning the graphic code according to the fed back equipment connection mode. Specifically, the mobile terminal searches for the controlled device corresponding to the device serial number according to the inquired device connection mode, and establishes connection with the searched controlled device. The mobile terminal may have a plurality of controlled devices in the environment where the mobile terminal is located, and the mobile terminal may filter the searched controlled devices and only retain the controlled devices corresponding to the device serial numbers.

Step 1708, receiving the user identifier sent by the mobile terminal after the mobile terminal successfully establishes the connection with the controlled device and the device serial number in the selected device binding record.

Specifically, after the mobile terminal successfully establishes connection with the searched controlled device, the mobile terminal sends a device binding request carrying a user identifier and a device serial number to the server, and the server receives the device binding request, so that the user identifier and the device serial number carried by the device binding request are obtained.

Step 1710, establish the binding relationship between the user id and the device serial number in the selected device binding record.

And the server reestablishes the binding relationship between the user identification and the equipment serial number. Specifically, the server establishes a binding relationship between the user identifier carried by the device binding request and the device serial number according to the device binding request.

In this embodiment, the mobile device may determine the device connection mode according to the device type identifier, and the device serial number may uniquely identify the corresponding network access device. Therefore, according to the inquired equipment connection mode, the controlled equipment corresponding to the equipment serial number can be automatically searched and connection can be established. And then the binding relationship between the user identification and the equipment serial number is reestablished, the operation is simple and convenient, and the operation convenience is improved. The mobile terminal sends the user identification and the equipment serial number after successfully establishing the connection with the controlled equipment, which indicates that the graphic code is correct and the controlled equipment can be discovered and connected, thereby ensuring that the binding relationship is effective.

In one embodiment, the method of binding devices further comprises: receiving a device connection mode configuration request carrying a device type identifier and sent by a device management terminal corresponding to the device supplier identifier; and configuring the equipment connection mode corresponding to the equipment type identification according to the equipment connection mode configuration request.

Specifically, the device vendor refers to a party who provides the controlled device, and the device vendor identification is used to uniquely identify the corresponding device vendor. Equipment suppliers include manufacturers and distributors of controlled equipment. The equipment supplier logs in the server on a certain terminal according to the equipment supplier identification, and the terminal is an equipment management terminal. The device management terminal may be a desktop computer or a mobile terminal.

The method comprises the steps that an equipment management terminal provides an interactive interface between an equipment supplier and a server, the server provides selectable equipment connection modes corresponding to equipment type identifications for the equipment management terminal, an equipment connection mode selection instruction input by the equipment supplier is obtained, and the equipment connection mode needing to be configured is determined from the selectable equipment connection modes according to the equipment connection mode selection instruction. The alternative device connection means may be configured as a single option only and be a mandatory option. The equipment management terminal generates and sends an equipment connection mode configuration request carrying the equipment type identification according to the determined equipment connection mode needing to be configured, and the server receives the equipment connection mode configuration request.

And the server configures the corresponding equipment connection mode as the equipment connection mode specified by the equipment connection mode configuration request according to the equipment connection mode and the equipment type identifier carried by the equipment connection mode configuration request.
