In step S260, a request for connecting the internet of things platform sent by the terminal is received, and the configuration file is sent to the sending terminal according to the request, so that the terminal is connected to the internet of things platform according to the configuration file.

The method can receive terminal information, configures encryption information of the terminal, communication link authority of the terminal and information of the terminal on the Internet of things platform according to the terminal information, generates a configuration file of the terminal based on the terminal information, the communication link authority of the terminal, the encryption information of the terminal and the information of the terminal on the Internet of things platform, receives a request sent by the terminal and connected with the Internet of things platform, and sends the configuration file to a sending terminal according to the request so that the terminal is connected with the Internet of things platform according to the configuration file, and therefore a user does not need to memorize a terminal id, a user name, a password and an access address, information of the terminal accessed to the Internet of platform is protected, loss is prevented, and working efficiency of the user can be improved.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal information may include any one or more of the following items: the identification of the terminal, the ip address of the terminal, the physical address of the terminal, the position information of the terminal and the type of the terminal. For example, when the terminal is connected with the internet of things platform, the terminal firstly needs to be registered on the internet of things platform, so that the background server of the internet of things platform can acquire the information of the terminal.

In an embodiment of the present invention, after the user registers the terminal on the platform of the internet of things, the server may configure the terminal according to the terminal information. In this example, the server may include a configurator for configuring the terminal. The configurator may configure the terminal according to the terminal information. For example, the configurator may configure encryption information of the terminal according to the terminal information, configure communication link authority of the terminal according to the terminal information, configure information of the terminal on the internet of things platform according to the terminal information, and generate a configuration file of the terminal based on the terminal information, the communication link authority of the terminal, the encryption information of the terminal, and the information of the terminal on the internet of things platform.

The topological relation of the terminal on the platform of the internet of things can be the topological relation of the terminal on the platform of the internet of things which is configured by the configurator according to the type of each terminal, for example, the terminal is an intelligent desk lamp, the intelligent desk lamp is connected with the platform of the internet of things through a gateway when being connected with the platform of the internet of things, and the network can be a computer. In this case, the configurator configures the topological relation of each terminal on the platform of the internet of things as the platform of the intelligent desk lamp, the gateway and the internet of things according to the type of the terminal.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the configurator may further generate a configuration file of the terminal based on the terminal information, the communication link authority of the terminal, the encryption information of the terminal, and the information of the terminal on the platform of the internet of things. When a user uses the terminal to connect the Internet of things platform, the user only needs to download the configuration file from the Internet of things platform, the terminal can be connected with the Internet of things platform based on the configuration file, the user does not need to use a user name and a password to realize the connection with the Internet of things platform, and the user does not need to remember the terminal id, the user name, the password and the access address, so that the information of the terminal accessing the Internet platform is protected, the loss is prevented, and the working efficiency of the user can be improved.

In one embodiment of the present invention, configuring the communication link authority of the terminal according to the terminal information includes: and configuring the authority of the terminal according to the terminal information through a message queue telemetry transmission protocol so as to acquire the communication link authority of the terminal. For example, the authority configuration is performed on the terminal according to the ip address and/or the physical address of the terminal through a message queue telemetry transmission protocol, so as to obtain the communication link authority of the terminal. The communication link permission can refer to the communication link permission of the terminal for accessing the platform of the internet of things, and the terminal can perform data interaction with the platform of the internet of things through the communication link configured by the configurator, so that the phenomenon that the platform of the internet of things cannot know timely due to the fact that the terminal sends data to other links is avoided. In this example, the message queue Telemetry transport protocol may be abbreviated as mqtt (message Queuing Telemetry transport) protocol

In this example, the SDK is a software development kit, which is generally a collection of development tools used by some software engineers to build application software for a specific software package, software framework, hardware platform, operating system, and the like. The SDK may be a software development kit that is local to the presence terminal. Or the SDK may be sent to the terminal by the server when sending the configuration file.

In an embodiment of the present invention, when the terminal receives the configuration file sent by the server, the configuration file may be parsed based on the SDK to obtain information of the terminal on the internet of things platform (for example, an account and a password for logging in the internet of things platform, an identifier of the terminal, and an address for accessing the terminal to the internet of things platform). In this example, the SDK is a software development kit, which is generally a collection of development tools used by some software engineers to build application software for a specific software package, software framework, hardware platform, operating system, and the like. The SDK may be a software development kit that is local to the presence terminal. Or the SDK may be sent to the terminal by the server when sending the configuration file.
