As shown in fig. 1a, the application program starting system of the present application at least includes: a second hardware device 11, a network 12, a first hardware device 13, and a server 16.

In some examples of the present application, the second hardware device 11 may be an intelligent terminal device without any other hardware condition that information can be directly input, such as a screen or a keyboard, such as an intelligent bluetooth speaker, an intelligent watch, an intelligent robot, a printer, a scanner, a washing machine, a refrigerator, and the like, and as mentioned above, the hardware device 11 includes a short-distance communication module, such as the bluetooth module 14, through which the hardware device 11 can communicate with other terminal devices in a short distance. The hardware device 11 may further include a network communication module, such as a WiFi module, through which the user terminal 11 may access a network to communicate with a server or other terminal devices in the network.

The network 12 may be a wireless network. As shown in fig. 1, the user terminal 13 is wirelessly connected to the network 12; and the hardware device 11 accesses the network 12 in a wireless manner after acquiring the user name and the password of the network 12.

The first hardware device 13 may be a user terminal, specifically, an intelligent terminal device such as a Personal Computer (PC) and a notebook computer, or an intelligent mobile terminal device such as a smart phone, a PAD, or a tablet computer. In some examples of the present application, the user terminal 11 may include a short-range communication module, such as a bluetooth module 14, etc., through which the user terminal 11 may facilitate other terminal devices in close proximity, such as a hardware device 11, to access the network 12. The user terminal 11 may include a network communication module, such as a WiFi module, etc., through which the user terminal 11 may access a network to communicate with a server or other terminal devices in the network. In general, various application software may be installed on the user terminal 11, and in the following description, the application software to be used or being used by the user is referred to as the target application software 15 for convenience of description.

The server 16 may be an application server of the target application software 15, and provides a service to the user together with the user terminal 11 where the target application software 15 is located.

The networking method of the hardware device provided by the embodiment of the application is described by several embodiments in the following with reference to the attached drawings.

Based on the system structure shown in fig. 1a, an embodiment of the present application provides a networking method for a hardware device, which can be integrated as a functional module in target application software of the user terminal 13 and executed by the target application software, and fig. 1b shows a networking module for implementing the networking method for a hardware device provided in the embodiment of the present application and a structural diagram of the target application software. As shown in fig. 1b, a networking module 102 is located in the target application 101, which networking module 102 can modify the device information of the first device by accessing the device information in the system configuration file 103 of the first device 13.

Fig. 2 shows a flowchart of a networking method of a hardware device, which is executed by target application software on the first device 13, according to an example of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the networking method of the hardware device includes the following steps:

step 201: in response to the operation of adding the second device, network connection information is generated.

As described above, the networking module implementing the networking method of the hardware device proposed in the present application is integrated in the target application software. In some examples, in response to an operation of adding a second device, a page is displayed, and a name and a password of the network to be connected, which are input in the page, are received; sending an adding request containing the hardware equipment identifier of the first equipment to a server so that the server generates an electronic code according to the hardware equipment identifier; receiving the electronization code returned by the server; and generating the network connection information according to the name and the password of the network to be connected and the electronic code. Specifically, when a user needs to enable a target second device to be networked to access a network, the first device displays a page to the user through the target application software, and the user can input the name and the password of the network to be connected on the page, wherein the network to be connected can be a wifi network. At the same time, an add request is sent to the server to cause it to generate an e-code. Wherein the electronic code may be a verification code, and the electronic code may have a predetermined time period, for example, valid for 5 minutes. For example, the target application software provides an add button for adding the second device, and in response to the user clicking the add button, the target application software pulls up a page for the user to input the name and the password of the network to be connected, so that the user inputs the name and the password of the network to be connected on the page.

It should be noted that the hardware device Identifier is different from the device Identifier, the device Identifier corresponding to the short-range communication function is, for example, a bluetooth name, and the hardware device Identifier may be a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) of the client device or another Identifier capable of uniquely identifying the device itself, such as a MAC address (Media Access Control address).

In some examples, after the obtaining of the network connection information, the first device encrypts the network connection information with a preset key; after the target second device acquires the network connection information, decrypting the network connection information by using the secret key, connecting to the network to be connected according to the name and the password of the network to be connected in the decrypted network connection information, and sending a connection request comprising the hardware device identifier of the second device and the electronic code in the network connection information to the server through the network to be connected, so that the server establishes the binding relationship between the hardware device identifier of the first device and the hardware device identifier of the second device according to the hardware device identifier of the first device, the hardware device identifier of the second device and the electronic code.

Specifically, after the network connection information is generated according to the name and the password of the network to be connected, which are input by a user on a page provided by the target application software, and the electronic code returned by the server, the network connection information is arranged according to a preset first format; the network information is encrypted by using a preset key to generate encrypted network connection information, where the preset key may be a public key in an RSA encryption algorithm or other keys, and the application is not limited herein. For example, the name of the network to be connected, which is input by the user, is staffwifi, the password is 12345678, and the electronization code returned by the server is 5634, and the network is arranged according to the preset first format, such as a colon ": "separate the name, password and the above-mentioned electronization code of the above-mentioned network of waiting to connect, arrange into staffwifi promptly: 12345678: 5634; the network connection information is encrypted using the public key of the RSA encryption algorithm to generate encrypted network connection information XXXXXXXX.

Fig. 3 is an example of a page provided by the first device for inputting information of a network to be connected. As shown in fig. 3, a page 31 is a page for inputting information of a network to be connected, which is displayed by target application software on a first device, in the page 31, a selection box 32 for selecting an identifier of the network to be connected and a text box 33 for inputting a password of the network to be connected are provided, and a user can select a name of the network to be connected desired through the selection box 32 and input the password of the network to be connected in the text box 33.

Step 202: a list of device identifications of surrounding second devices that initiate short-range communication functions is obtained.

In some examples, a short-range communication function of the first device is turned on; scanning surrounding second equipment with a short-distance communication function to acquire a list of equipment identifications of the second equipment. Specifically, after the user inputs the information of the network to be connected, the first device 13 opens the short-range communication function of the first device 13, such as the bluetooth function, searches for surrounding second devices that open the short-range communication function, and obtains a list of device identifiers of the above second devices that open the short-range communication function.

Fig. 4 is an example of a list of device identifications of second devices around which a short-range communication function, such as a bluetooth function, is turned on, which is acquired by the first device 13. As shown in fig. 4, 4 second devices that turn on the bluetooth function can be searched for at present. The target application software on the first device 13 may obtain the list 41 of the identifiers of the 4 second devices that open the bluetooth function.

Step 203: determining a device identity of the target second device from the list of device identities.

In some examples, according to a preset identifier, the device identifier including the preset identifier is determined from the list of device identifiers and is used as the device identifier of the target second device.

Specifically, the target second device to be networked sets its own device identifier according to a preset second format, so that the device identifier of the target second device includes the preset identifier, and the first device determines the device identifier of the second device from the list of device identifiers according to the preset identifier, that is, the hardware device whose device identifier includes the preset identifier is the target second device to be networked. For example, if the device identifier of one hardware device is "bot 123", and the preset identifier is "bot", it may be determined that the hardware device is the second device to be networked.

Still taking fig. 4 as an example, assuming that the preset identifier is "bot", after the first device 13 obtains the list of identifiers of other hardware devices that open bluetooth shown in fig. 4, the second device to be networked, that is, the hardware device 42 whose device identifier is "bot 123", may be determined according to the preset identifier "bot".

Step 204: and sending a pairing request carrying the information of the network to be connected to the target second equipment according to the equipment identifier of the target second equipment, so that the target second equipment is connected to the network to be connected according to the network connection information in the pairing request and establishes a connection relation with the first equipment.

In some examples, modifying the device information of the first device corresponding to the short-range communication function in the system configuration file from the device identifier of the first device to the network connection information; and sending a pairing request to the target second device according to the device identifier of the target second device and the modified device information in the system configuration file, wherein sender information carried by the pairing request comprises the network connection information serving as the modified device information. Specifically, the system interface is called to modify the device identifier corresponding to the short-distance communication function of the first device in the device information table in the system configuration file into the network connection information, for example, modify the device identifier corresponding to the bluetooth function of the first device in the device information table in the system configuration file into the network connection information, for example, modify the device identifier iphone6splus corresponding to the bluetooth function of the first device into the name and the password staffwifi of the network to be connected: 12345678: 5634.

in some examples, the device information in the system configuration file is modified from a first character string forming a device identifier of the first device to a second character string forming the network connection information, where the second character string forming the network connection information has a preset second format, so that the target second device identifies, according to the preset second format, a name and a password of the network to be connected and the e-code from the second character string. For example, assume that the information of the network to be connected is "staffwifi: 12345678 ", the electronic code is" 5634 ", that is, the network connection information is" staffwifi: 12345678: 5634 "and if the device identifier of the first device is" hiajokg ", changing the device identifier of the first device from" hiajokg "to" staffwifi: 12345678: 5634".

In some examples, the preset second format includes: the name of the network to be connected, the separator, the password of the network to be connected, the separator and the electronic code are arranged according to a preset sequence, and the separator is a preset character. Assuming that the network connection information is' staffwifi: 12345678: 5634 ", the preset characters are": ", the name" staffwifi "of the network to be connected, the password" 12345678 "of the network to be connected, and the electronic code" 5634 "are separated, so that the name, the password, and the electronic code of the network to be connected can be extracted from the network connection information.

In some examples, after sending the pairing request to the target second device to be networked, the first device 13 further modifies the device information of the first device corresponding to the short-range communication function in the system configuration file from the information of the network to be connected to the device identifier of the first device.

Specifically, if the pairing request is successfully sent, the device identifier of the first device is set as the original identifier before modification, so that the user can conveniently use the short-range communication module subsequently and close the short-range communication module; and if the pairing request is not successfully sent, displaying a prompt message to the user to prompt the user that no matched hardware equipment is found.

In some examples, after the target second device connects to the network to be connected according to the information of the network to be connected, adding the target second device to the target application software on the first device is completed. Meanwhile, after the target second device is connected to the network to be connected, a connection request including the hardware device identifier of the target second device and the electronic code is sent to the server, so that the server establishes a binding relationship between the hardware device identifier of the first device and the hardware device identifier of the target second device according to the hardware device identifier of the target second device, the electronic code and the hardware device identifier of the first device, that is, the first device and the target second device establish a connection relationship on a network side, and therefore, the first device and the target second device can perform message interaction through the commonly connected network to be connected.

Step 205: and the first equipment and the target second equipment carry out information interaction through the network to be connected and the connection relation.

In some examples, after the target second device connects to the network to be connected, the first device sends a management message to the target second device according to the device identifier of the target second device, so that the first device executes an operation corresponding to the management message. Specifically, the first device sends a management message to a server of the target application software through the target application software according to the device identifier of the target second device; after receiving the management message sent by the first device, the server of the target application software determines the hardware device identifier of the target second device corresponding to the hardware device identifier of the first device according to the binding relationship between the hardware device identifier of the first device carried in the management message and the hardware device identifier of the first device and the hardware device identifier of the target second device stored in the server, and then sends the management message to the target second device. The management message may be a reminding message for reminding the target second device to perform an operation corresponding to the reminding message, for example, the reminding message may be a message for waking up the target second device, and the target second device may switch from a sleep mode to a normal operating mode when receiving the reminding message.

Fig. 5 shows a flowchart of a networking method of a hardware device, which is performed by the second device 11, according to an example of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the networking method of the hardware device includes the following steps:

step 501: the short-range communication function is enabled to listen for pairing requests from other devices.

In some examples, before the short-range communication function is started, the device identifier of the second device corresponding to the short-range communication function is set according to a preset first format. Specifically, a preset identifier is added to the device identifier of the second device, so that the device identifier of the second device includes the preset identifier. For example, the preset identifier is "bot", and the preset identifier may be added to the beginning of the own device identifier, so that the own device identifier is "bot 123", and the preset identifier "bot" is included.

Step 502: receiving a pairing request sent by a first device 13, and acquiring network connection information from device information of the first device 13 sending the pairing request, wherein sender information carried by the pairing request includes the network connection information as device information of a second device.

In some examples, the second device decrypts the device information of the first device that sent the pairing request with a preset key to obtain the network connection information from the device information of the first device.

In some examples, the second string that makes up the network connection information has a preset second format; wherein the obtaining the information of the network to be connected from the device information of the second device includes: and the first equipment identifies and obtains the name, the password and the electronic code of the network to be connected from the second character string according to the preset format.

In some examples, the preset second format includes: the name of the network to be connected, the separator, the password of the network to be connected, the separator and the electronic code are arranged according to a preset sequence, and the separator is a preset character.

Specifically, after receiving a pairing request sent by a first device 13, the second device 11 decrypts device information of the first device that sends the pairing request by using a preset key, so as to obtain decrypted network connection information; and extracting the name and the password of the network to be connected and the electronic code from the decrypted network connection information, wherein the preset key can be a private key of an RSA decryption algorithm or other keys, and the application is not limited herein. Since the decrypted second character string constituting the network connection information has a preset second format, the name and password of the network to be connected and the electronic code are extracted from the network connection information according to the preset second format, for example, assuming that the preset key is used to decrypt the device identifier of the first device that sends the pairing request, the obtained network connection information is staffwifi: 12345678: 5634, according to a preset second format, the first colon ": "preceding character string is the name of the above-mentioned network to be connected, the first colon": "following or second colon": "the former character string is the password of the network to be connected, and the second colon": the "preceding character string is the electronic code.

Step 503: and connecting to a network to be connected according to the network connection information, and establishing a connection relation with the second equipment.

After the second device acquires the network connection information from the pairing request, acquiring the name and the password of the network to be connected from the network connection information; and connecting to the network to be connected according to the name and the password of the network to be connected. And obtaining the electronization code from the network connection information; and sending a connection request comprising the hardware device identifier of the first device and the electronic code to a server through the network to be connected, so that the server establishes a binding relationship between the hardware device identifier of the first device and the hardware device identifier of the second device according to the connection request, that is, the first device and the second device establish a network-side connection relationship, and therefore, the first device and the second device can perform message interaction through the commonly-connected network to be connected.

Step 504: and the first equipment and the second equipment carry out information interaction through the network to be connected and the connection relation.

In some examples, after connecting to the network to be connected, the second device generates and sends a prompt message of successful connection to the first device.

In some examples, after connecting to the network to be connected, the second device may further receive a management message sent by the first device, and perform a corresponding operation according to the management message. The management message may be a reminding message, and is used to remind the target second device to execute an operation corresponding to the reminding message. For example, the alert message may be a message for waking up the target second device, and the target second device may switch from the sleep mode to the normal operation mode upon receiving the alert message.

The following describes the networking method of the hardware device in detail by taking the short-range communication function as a bluetooth function and taking a preset key as a key of an RSA algorithm as an example, with reference to the accompanying drawings. The method is applied to the implementation environment as shown in fig. 1. Fig. 6 is an interaction flowchart of the networking method for the hardware devices, and as shown in fig. 6, the method mainly includes the following steps:

step 601: the second device 11 turns on bluetooth and sets its own device identifier according to a preset first format.

Specifically, a preset identifier is added to the device identifier of the second device, so that the device identifier of the second device includes the preset identifier. For example, the preset identifier is "bot", and the preset identifier may be added to the beginning of the own device identifier, so that the own device identifier is "bot 123", and the preset identifier "bot" is included.

Step 602: the second device 11 initiates bluetooth listening to listen for pairing requests of other devices.

Step 603: the first device 13, in response to the operation of adding the second device, displays a page, receives the name and password of the network to be connected, which are input in the page, and sends an addition request including the hardware device identifier of the first device to the server, so that the server generates an electronic code according to the hardware device identifier.

In some examples, when a user needs to enable a target second hardware device to be networked to access a network, the first device may provide a page for inputting information of the network to be connected to the user through the target application software, so that the user inputs the information of the network to be connected on the page, where the network to be connected may be a wifi network.

Step 604: the server generates an electronic code according to the hardware device identifier of the first device in the addition request, and returns the electronic code to the first device 13.

Step 605: the first device 13 generates the network connection information according to the name and password of the network to be connected and the e-code returned by the server.

Step 606: the first device 13 encrypts the network connection information using a preset encryption key.

In this step, the preset encryption key may be a public key of an RSA algorithm.

Step 607: the first device 13 opens bluetooth and obtains a list of device identifications of other surrounding hardware devices that open bluetooth.

Step 608: the first device 13 determines whether the device identifier of the target second device to be networked is in the list of device identifiers according to a preset identifier, and if the device identifier of the target second device to be networked exists, step 609 is executed; if there is no device identification of the second device to be networked, step 610 is performed.

Step 609: the first device 13 modifies the device information in the system configuration file from the device identifier of the first device to the network connection information, and sends a pairing request to the target second device to be networked according to the modified device information in the system configuration file.

For example, assume that the network connection information is "staffwifi: 12345678: 5634 "and if the device identifier of the first device is" hiajokg ", changing the device identifier of the first device from" hiajokg "to" staffwifi: 12345678: 5634".

Step 610: the first device 13 generates and displays a matching failure prompt message to prompt the user that no matching hardware device is found.

Step 611: the second device 11 receives the pairing request sent by the first device 13, and decrypts the device information of the first device 13 sending the pairing request by using a preset decryption key, so as to obtain the network connection information.

Step 612: the second device 11 obtains the name and the password of the network to be connected from the network connection information, and connects to the network to be connected according to the name and the password of the network to be connected.

Step 613: the second device 11 obtains the electronic code from the network connection information, and sends a connection request including the hardware device identifier of the first device and the electronic code to a server through the network to be connected.

Step 614: and the server establishes the binding relationship between the hardware identifier of the first device and the hardware identifier of the second device according to the connection request.

In this step, the server establishes, according to the hardware device identifier of the second device and the electronic code in the connection request and the hardware device identifier of the first device received in step 604, a binding relationship between the hardware device identifier of the first device and the hardware device identifier of the second device, that is, a connection relationship between the first device and the second device on the network side is established, so that the first device and the second device can perform message interaction through a network to be connected that is commonly connected.

Step 615: the second device 11 generates and sends a connection success prompting message to the first device 13 to prompt the user of successful networking.

Step 616: the first device 13 sets the device information of the first device back to the device identifier of the first device 13, and turns off bluetooth.
