Detailed Description
For the purposes of clarity, technical solutions and advantages of the present specification, the technical solutions of the present specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present specification. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue burden from the present disclosure, are intended to be within the scope of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control method of a communication module of a meter, which is applied to a microcontroller of the meter, and includes:
s0, determining whether a preset interaction period for data interaction between a communication module of the meter and a corresponding server is not more than a preset threshold value, and if so, sequentially executing S1-S4;
s1, controlling the communication module to be powered on and attach to a network so as to connect with the server;
s2, controlling the communication module to perform data interaction with the connected server;
s3, after the communication module and the connected server complete data interaction, controlling a power module of the meter to output a steady-state current corresponding to the communication module, so that the communication module enters a low-power consumption mode;
and S4, executing the S2 when the sleep time of the communication module entering the low-power consumption mode reaches a preset interaction period.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the method is applied to a microcontroller of the meter, when it is determined that a preset interaction period for performing data interaction between a communication module of the meter and a corresponding server is not greater than a preset threshold, that is, when it is determined that the frequency of performing data interaction between the communication module of the meter and the corresponding server is high, the communication module is firstly controlled to power up and attach to a network to connect the server, then the communication module is controlled to perform data interaction with the connected server, and after the communication module and the server complete the data interaction for this time, a power supply module of the meter is controlled to output steady-state current corresponding to the communication module, so that the communication module enters a low-power mode, power down processing is not performed on the communication module completing the data interaction any more, and when the sleep time of the communication module entering the low-power mode each time reaches the preset interaction period, the communication module is controlled to perform data interaction with the connected server again, thereby realizing control of the communication module to perform data interaction with the server in the preset interaction period. In summary, the communication module of the meter is controlled by the technical scheme of the invention, so that when the communication module of the meter performs data interaction with the server at a higher frequency, the communication module only needs to be electrified once and attached to the network to be connected with the server, and when the communication module does not perform data interaction with the server after being connected with the server, the communication module can be in a low-power consumption mode, and the communication module of the meter does not need to repeatedly electrified at a higher frequency and attached to the network to be connected with the server, thereby reducing the power consumption of the communication module of the meter.
It is understood that the server corresponding to the meter with the communication module is located at the network side, that is, the server can be in network connection with the base station of the micro cell or the macro cell where the meter with the communication module is located, and the process of controlling the communication module to power on and attach to the network to connect the server essentially refers to the process of outputting current to the communication module according to the operation parameters of the base station by the corresponding power-on rule, so that the communication module can receive and respond (i.e. perform network searching operation) to the paging message broadcasted by the base station according to the received current to establish connection with the base station.
Obviously, when the communication module and the server perform data interaction, on one hand, the operation data, the abnormal data and the like of the meter with the communication module can be used as uplink data, and the corresponding server is reported through a base station for establishing connection, so that the automatic meter reading and other services are realized; on the other hand, the method can receive downlink data such as an operation instruction, configuration information and the like issued by the corresponding server through the base station for establishing connection, such as instruction information for controlling the corresponding gas valve to be closed.
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that, when executing S1, general initialization setting procedures such as bandwidth setting and scrambling code setting should be performed, where these initialization setting procedures determine whether the communication module can attach to the network and perform network searching operation to implement the speed of attaching to the network, and these initialization setting procedures should be based on the operation parameters of the base station of the micro cell or the macro cell where the meter with the communication module is located, and will not be described in detail herein.
In the above embodiment, the steady-state current corresponding to the communication module specifically refers to the minimum operating current capable of ensuring that the communication module is kept connected to the server (connected to the server through the base station connected to the communication module), and the steady-state current corresponding to the communication module in the meter is extremely small (about 5 μa) for the meter having the communication module such as the gas meter, the water meter, and the electricity meter, so that when the communication module receives the corresponding steady-state current and is in the low power consumption mode, the consumed electric quantity is extremely small, that is, the power consumption is extremely small.
Based on the embodiment shown in fig. 1, in order to ensure that the communication module can immediately enter the low power consumption mode to reduce the power consumption of the communication module when the communication module does not interact with the connected server in a subsequent period of time after the communication module is powered on once and attaches to the network, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, before S2, the method further includes: determining data interaction time of the communication module and the server for data interaction;
then the first time period of the first time period,
the S2 further includes: recording the current interaction time of the communication module for carrying out data interaction with the connected service;
the step S3 comprises the following steps: and when the recorded current interaction time reaches the data interaction time, controlling the current output by the power supply module of the meter to the communication module to be the steady-state current corresponding to the communication module.
It should be noted that, in a part of service scenarios, after the communication module completes data interaction with the server, a certain overflow time can be reserved for the communication module, the communication module can continue to receive downlink data issued by the server in an idle time period corresponding to the overflow time, but cannot send uplink data to the server, so that the meter can be ensured to completely receive the downlink data issued by the server through the communication module.
Based on the embodiment shown in fig. 1, a specific implementation of S1 includes: and controlling a power supply module of the meter to periodically output paging current and idle current to the communication module, so that the communication module is attached to a network according to the periodically received paging current and idle current to connect the server, wherein the paging current and idle current are both larger than the steady-state current.
In this embodiment, the period of the power module of the microcontroller control meter outputting the paging current and the idle current to the communication module should be based on the operation parameters of the base station, so that the power module periodically alternates between the paging state and the idle state, and the communication module can receive the paging message broadcasted by the base station when in the paging state and respond accordingly, so as to receive the downlink data issued by the base station in the subsequent idle state and respond again to establish a connection with the base station, that is, to implement attachment to connect with the server corresponding to the meter with the communication module.
The steady-state current corresponding to the communication module in the low power consumption mode is extremely small, but the electric quantity consumed in the low power consumption mode is in a proportional relation with the sleep time (namely the preset interaction period) of the communication module in the low power consumption mode, so that in order to realize the preset interaction period for carrying out data interaction between the communication module and the server according to the meter, the power consumption of the communication module is reduced more reasonably and effectively, and in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the method further comprises the following steps:
when the preset interaction period for carrying out data interaction between the communication module of the meter and the corresponding server is determined to be larger than a preset threshold value, executing:
a1, controlling the communication module to be powered on and attach to a network so as to connect with the server;
a2, controlling the communication module to perform data interaction with the connected server;
a3, after the communication module and the connected server complete data interaction and a preset network disconnection delay, controlling the communication module to be powered off;
and A4, executing the A1 when the power-down time length of the communication module reaches the preset interaction period.
In this embodiment, the workflow corresponding to A1 to A4 is a discontinuous reception mode generally adopted by the existing communication module, and when the preset period of data interaction between the meter of the communication module and the corresponding server is large, the discontinuous reception mode has a better power saving effect.
Those skilled in the art will understand that, the contents executed by A1 and A2 are similar to those executed by S1 and S2, and in other embodiments of the present invention, the contents executed by S1 and S2 have been analyzed and described, and will not be described in detail herein.
In the above embodiments, the specific service logic of selectively executing S1-S4 or executing A1-A4 by the microcontroller according to the preset interaction period may be at least implemented in the following manner X or manner Y.
Mode X includes:
x1, presetting a preset threshold value by a microcontroller;
x2, the microcontroller receives a preset interaction period of data interaction between a communication module of the meter input from the outside and a corresponding server;
x3, the microcontroller judges whether the received preset interaction period is not greater than a preset threshold value, if so, S1-S4 are executed; otherwise, A1-A4 are performed.
The implementation Y includes:
y0, the user determines whether the preset interaction period for carrying out data interaction between the communication module of the meter and the corresponding server is not greater than a preset threshold value, if yes, a low-power consumption selection instruction is input to the microcontroller, and if not, a discontinuous reception selection instruction is input to the micro-control;
y1, executing S1-S4 when the microcontroller receives a low power consumption selection instruction input by a user; and when receiving a discontinuous reception selection instruction input by a user, executing A1-A4.
The implementation mode X and the implementation mode Y can be selected by a user in combination with actual service requirements, and generally, in order to meet the access mode of the communication module defined when an operator opens a card, a large amount of data interaction between the communication module and a base station is avoided so as to realize connection with a server through the base station, so that the communication module can be more rapidly attached to a network, and the implementation mode Y has better effect; on the contrary, in order to improve user experience, subjective comparison between a preset interaction period and a corresponding preset threshold value is avoided, and the effect of the implementation mode X is better.
In order to achieve a preset interaction period for performing data interaction between a communication module and a server according to a meter, and more reasonably and effectively reduce power consumption of the communication module, as shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides another control method for the communication module of the meter, which is also applied to a microcontroller of the meter, and specifically may include the following steps.
And step 21, the microcontroller presets a preset threshold value and determines the data interaction time of the communication module and the server for data interaction.
Step 22, the microcontroller receives a preset interaction period of data interaction between the communication module of the meter input from the outside and the corresponding server.
Step 23, the microcontroller judges whether the received preset interaction period is not greater than a preset threshold value, if so, step 24n1 is executed; otherwise, step 24m1 is performed.
In step 24n1, the power module of the microcontroller control meter periodically outputs paging current and idle current to the communication module, so that the communication module attaches to the network to connect to the server according to the periodically received paging current and idle current.
Wherein, paging current and idle current are both greater than steady state current.
In step 24n2, the microcontroller controls the communication module to perform data interaction with the connected server, and records the current interaction time of the communication module to perform data interaction with the connected service.
And step 24n3, when the recorded current interaction time reaches the data interaction time, the microcontroller controls the power supply module of the meter to output the current corresponding to the steady-state current to the communication module.
The communication module enters a low power consumption mode when receiving the corresponding steady-state current.
In step 24n4, the microcontroller executes 24n2 when the sleep time of the communication module entering the low power mode reaches the preset interaction period.
In step 24m1, the power module of the microcontroller control meter periodically outputs paging current and idle current to the communication module, so that the communication module attaches to the network to connect to the server according to the periodically received paging current and idle current.
In step 24m2, the microcontroller controls the communication module to perform data interaction with the connected server, and records the current interaction time of the communication module to perform data interaction with the connected service.
And step 24m3, after the recorded current interaction time reaches the data interaction time and the preset network disconnection delay, the microcontroller controls the communication module to be powered off.
And step 24m4, when the power-down time of the communication module reaches a preset interaction period, the microcontroller executes step 24m1.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment shown in fig. 2 and other embodiments of the present invention, the preset threshold corresponding to the preset interaction period should be reasonably set in combination with the operation parameters of the communication module of the specific meter and the operation parameters of the base station in the actual service scenario. When the communication module of the meter is tested in an actual service scene or is operated in a discontinuous receiving mode by other modes, the time length of powering on and attaching the meter is 9S, the corresponding off-network delay time when the power-down processing is carried out on the data module after the data interaction is completed is 5S, the paging current and the idle current which are periodically output by the communication module in the processes of powering on and attaching the meter and the off-network delay time are respectively 60mA and 6mA (the paging current and the idle current depend on the operation parameters of a micro base station or a macro base station with the meter of the communication module), and the data interaction time of the communication module and a server is 4S for example; then, in order to comprehensively consider that the microcontroller controls the communication module through the S1-S4 or the A1-A4 to reduce the power consumption of the communication module, the microcontroller needs to consider the first electric quantity consumed by the communication module in the low power consumption mode in a preset interaction period, the second electric quantity consumed by the communication module when the communication module is powered on and attaches to the network, and the third electric quantity consumed by the communication module in the off-network delay period, and when the sum of the second electric quantity and the third electric quantity is greater than the first electric quantity, the microcontroller controls the communication module in the S1-S4 mode, otherwise, the microcontroller controls the communication module in the A1-A4 mode; the sum of the second electric quantity and the electric three electric quantity is specifically: 60mA (9s+5s)/2+6ma (9s+5s)/2=0.462a×s; when the communication module is in the low power consumption mode, if the consumption of 0.460 a/5 μa= 92400s needs to last for a period of time, the consumption of 0.460 a/s is 0.462 a/5 μa= 92400s; obviously, when the communication module of the meter needs to interact with the server in a relatively high frequency, namely, when the preset interaction period of data interaction between the communication module of the meter and the corresponding server is not more than 92400S, the microcontroller of the meter can control the communication module of the meter through S1-S4; conversely, when the communication module of the meter needs to interact with the server in a relatively low frequency, that is, when the preset interaction period of data interaction between the communication module of the meter and the corresponding server is greater than 92400s, the microcontroller of the meter can control the communication module of the meter through A1-A4; therefore, the preset interaction period for carrying out data interaction between the communication module and the server according to the meter is realized, and the power consumption of the communication module is reduced more reasonably and effectively.
