Background

In order to ensure normal use of intelligent devices such as an intelligent socket, an intelligent air conditioner and an intelligent air purifier, the intelligent devices are firstly connected into a network, and then can be remotely controlled.

On the other hand, if the user wants to control the smart device through, for example, a mobile phone, the smart device needs to be bound in the mobile phone.

Actually, when the network to-be-accessed device is configured through the network distribution device so that the to-be-accessed device is networked through the access router, the network distribution device is required to send network configuration information such as an access password of the router to the to-be-accessed device. In the embodiment of the invention, when the network configuration is performed on the equipment to be networked by the network distribution equipment, the network distribution equipment and the network configuration information are sent to the equipment to be networked together, and the random number is also included.

By the scheme, because the length of the random number is far smaller than the length of the token (namely the first token and the second token), in the process of carrying out network configuration on the device to be networked by the network distribution device, the device to be networked can obtain the token only by additionally transmitting more random numbers with shorter lengths besides the network configuration information. Because the data volume needing to be transmitted is less, the speed and the reliability of data transmission are ensured, and the binding of the distribution network equipment and the equipment to be networked is favorably and reliably finished.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The terminology used in the embodiments of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the examples of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, and "a plurality" typically includes at least two.

The words "if", as used herein, may be interpreted as "at … …" or "at … …" or "in response to a determination" or "in response to a detection", depending on the context. Similarly, the phrases "if determined" or "if detected (a stated condition or event)" may be interpreted as "when determined" or "in response to a determination" or "when detected (a stated condition or event)" or "in response to a detection (a stated condition or event)", depending on the context.

It is also noted that the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a good or system that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such good or system. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising an … …" does not exclude the presence of other like elements in a commodity or system that includes the element.

In addition, the sequence of steps in each method embodiment described below is only an example and is not strictly limited.

In order to more easily understand the effect of the network configuration scheme provided by the embodiment of the present invention, an existing network configuration scheme is introduced first, so as to find out the advantages of the network configuration scheme provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

Fig. 1 is a schematic workflow diagram of a network configuration system provided in the prior art, as shown in fig. 1, the network configuration system includes: the system comprises network distribution equipment, equipment to be networked and a server. The network configuration process may include the steps of:

101. and the distribution network equipment sends network configuration information and a token to the equipment to be networked.

102. And the equipment to be accessed to the network accesses the router according to the network configuration information.

103. And the equipment to be networked sends the token to the server.

104. And the distribution network equipment sends a query request carrying the token to the server.

105. And the server inquires and obtains the equipment information of the equipment to be accessed to the network according to the token.

106. And the server sends the equipment information of the equipment to be networked to the network distribution equipment.

107. And the distribution network equipment stores the equipment information of the equipment to be networked.

In general, a token is a random number having a certain length, typically 16 bytes in length. In the above scheme, the token (token) is used as a check value in the binding process between the distribution network device and the device to be networked, that is, first, the corresponding relationship between the device information of the device to be networked and the token is stored in the server, and then, when the distribution network device needs to bind the device to be networked, the server is queried by using the token as a query keyword to obtain the device information of the device to be networked corresponding to the token, and the obtained device information of the device to be networked is locally stored to realize the binding with the device to be networked.

In practical application, a fast connection (SmartConfig) mode may be adopted to perform network configuration of the device to be networked. In SmartConfig mode, these network configuration information are typically transmitted using a Length field or a Destination MAC address (Destination) field. For adopting the Length field to transmit the network configuration information, the network configuration information is limited by the number of bits (generally 11 bits) that the Length field can bear, and after the network configuration information is coded by the distribution network equipment, because the number of bits obtained after coding is far higher than the number of bits that the Length field can bear, in order to complete the complete transmission of the distribution network information, the distribution network equipment needs to send a plurality of distribution network data frames, and each distribution network data frame contains a Length field.

In the scheme shown in fig. 1, the token and the network configuration information are transmitted to the device to be networked, and the token occupies a length of 16 bytes, which means that the network configuration device needs to send more network configuration data frames to complete transmission of the network configuration information and the token.

If parts of the network distribution data frames are lost in the transmission process, the devices to be networked cannot acquire complete network configuration information and cannot access the network, or cannot acquire complete tokens, so that the binding of the network distribution devices and the devices to be networked is influenced finally.

Therefore, the solution provided by the embodiment of the invention is provided for efficiently and reliably binding the distribution network equipment and the equipment to be networked.

Before specifically describing this solution, several concepts involved herein will be described.

The servers herein may be independent physical hosts or clusters of hosts located in the cloud.

A device to be networked in this context may be a terminal device, such as a smart refrigerator, a smart loudspeaker, a robot, etc., which is not yet connected to a certain wireless network, and is therefore referred to as a device to be networked.

The distribution network device herein may be a user terminal device such as a mobile phone and a tablet computer, and the distribution network device may have access to a certain wireless network through a network device such as a router, for example, a mobile phone of a user has access to a home WiFi network through a wireless router installed in a home.

It should be noted that the distribution network device may also be a terminal device without a human-computer interaction screen, such as an intelligent refrigerator or an intelligent sound box that has been accessed to the wireless network, and at this time, the distribution network device may locally store network configuration information of a router that is accessed by the distribution network device, so as to perform network configuration on a device to be accessed to the network that is not accessed to the network.

In addition, a distribution network application program can run in the distribution network equipment, and network configuration of the equipment to be networked is realized through the distribution network application program.

In brief summary, a network distribution device and a device to be networked belong to the same user, and the two devices mainly differ from each other: the distribution network equipment has access to the wireless network, and the equipment to be networked has not access to the wireless network.

Fig. 2 is a schematic workflow diagram of a network configuration system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the network configuration system includes: the system comprises network distribution equipment, equipment to be networked and a server. The network configuration process may include the steps of:

201. and the distribution network equipment generates a random number.

In this embodiment and the following embodiments, it is assumed that the length of the random number is a first length, and the first length may be preset, for example, 3 bytes long, but not limited thereto.

In practical application, when network configuration needs to be performed on the device to be networked through the distribution network device, a user may perform some triggering operations so as to trigger the distribution network device to perform the generation of the random number.

For example, when the network configuration needs to be performed on the device to be networked through the distribution network device, the user starts the device to be networked, opens the distribution network application program in the distribution network device, and clicks a start button of "start distribution network" in the distribution network application program.

202. And the distribution network equipment sends the random number and the network configuration information of the router to the equipment to be networked.

The network configuration information includes information such as a Service Set Identifier (SSID) corresponding to the router, an access PASSWORD (PASSWORD), a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID), and the like.

The random number and the network configuration information may be sent to the device to be networked through the Length field and the destination MAC address field.

Since the first length of the random number is much smaller than the lengths of the first token and the second token (in this embodiment and the following embodiments, the length of the token is referred to as the second length), the number of the distribution network data frames sent by the distribution network device to the device to be networked is effectively reduced compared with the scheme shown in fig. 1.

203. And the equipment to be accessed to the network accesses the router according to the network configuration information and generates a first token according to the received random number.

204. And the equipment to be networked sends the first token to the server.

Because the second length of the first token is greater than the first length of the random number, and the first token is generated by the device to be networked at least according to the random number, the effect that the device to be networked can obtain the token by the device to be networked only transmitting less data content (the random number and the network configuration information) is achieved.

In practical applications, the second length is typically 16 bytes long, but this is not a limitation.

In practical applications, the device to be networked may generate the first token at least according to the random number, that is, the device to be networked may only use the random number as a parameter for generating the first token, or may combine other parameters besides the random number to generate the first token.

The other parameters are one of a plurality of parameters included in the network configuration information, so that the distribution network equipment is ensured not to additionally transmit other information.

That is, the device to be networked may generate the first token according to the random number and at least one parameter included in the network configuration information.

As described above, the network configuration information may include the following parameters: SSID, BSSID, PASSWORD.

The uniqueness of the first token can be better guaranteed by combining the random number and at least one parameter included in the network configuration information to generate the first token.

For example, the device to be networked may convert the three parameters into a 16-ary byte stream (hex byte stream) by generating the first token through a random number, BSSID, and PASSWORD, then perform digest calculation on the byte stream by using a certain digest algorithm, for example, a 32-byte digest may be generated by using a SHA256 algorithm, and then intercept the first 16 bytes from the generated digest as the first token.

The digest algorithm may also employ, for example, the MD5 algorithm.

After the device to be networked generates the first token, the device to be networked already realizes networking through the access router, so that the device to be networked can report the first token to the server through the network, and the server can establish a corresponding relation between the device information of the device to be networked and the first token.

205. And the distribution network equipment generates a second token according to the random number.

After the network configuration of the device to be networked is completed, the network distribution device may also generate a second token of a second length according to the random number.

It should be noted that the parameters used by the distribution network device to generate the second token are consistent with the parameters used by the device to be networked to generate the first token. For example, if the device to be networked generates the first token using the random number, BSSID, and PASSWORD, the distribution network device also generates the second token using the random number, BSSID, and PASSWORD. And specifically, the parameters are used for generating the token, and the distribution network equipment and the equipment to be connected to the network can be agreed in advance.

The generation process of the second token is consistent with the generation process of the first token, and is not described any further.

206. And the distribution network equipment sends a query request carrying the second token to the server.

207. The server determines that the second token is consistent with the first token.

208. And the server sends the equipment information of the equipment to be networked to the network distribution equipment.

Therefore, the function of the distribution network device for generating the second token is to serve as a query keyword to obtain device information of the corresponding device to be networked from the server.

Since the first token and the second token are identical under normal conditions, the server determines whether the second token in the query request is identical with the first token, namely, whether the second token is stored locally.

209. And the distribution network equipment stores the equipment information of the equipment to be networked.

A control device list can be maintained in the distribution network device, so that the distribution network device can add the device information of the device to be networked into the list, and the device information of the device to be networked can be selected when the device to be networked needs to be controlled in the actual use process, and a control instruction is triggered to the device to be networked.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the device information of the device to be networked uniquely identifies one device, and may include information such as a device manufacturer, a device serial number, a device name, and the like.

In summary, according to the above scheme, since the first length of the random number is much smaller than the second length of the token, in the process of performing network configuration on the device to be networked by the network configuration device, the device to be networked can obtain the token only by additionally transmitting more random numbers with shorter lengths in addition to the network configuration information. Because the data volume needing to be transmitted is less, the speed and the reliability of data transmission are ensured, and the binding of the distribution network equipment and the equipment to be networked is favorably and reliably finished.

Fig. 3 is another schematic workflow diagram of a network configuration system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, a network configuration process may include the following steps:

301. and the distribution network equipment acquires the key of the equipment to be networked from the server.

302. The network distribution equipment encrypts the PASSWORD of the router by using the key.

According to the sensitivity of the parameters included in the network configuration information of the router, the parameters included in the network configuration information can be divided into sensitive parameters and non-sensitive parameters, and the non-sensitive parameters can be understood as parameters which can be known by a large number of users. Generally, the access PASSWORD, namely PASSWORD, in the network configuration information may be considered as a sensitive parameter, and the other parameters may be non-sensitive parameters, which is not limited to this.

For the sensitive parameter, in the process of sending the network configuration information to the device to be networked, the network configuration information needs to be sent in a ciphertext form, so that the network configuration device needs to obtain a key for encrypting the sensitive parameter before sending the network configuration information to the device to be networked. And the key may be obtained by the distribution network device from the server.

Optionally, a product category list may be maintained in the distribution network device, where the product category list includes category information such as manufacturer, type, model, etc. of the device, such as american (manufacturer) air conditioner (type). Each product category has a one-to-one corresponding key, and a one-to-one corresponding relationship between product category information and the key is maintained in the server, wherein the corresponding relationship can be configured in the server by related personnel in advance.

Based on this, the user can input or select the product category information corresponding to the current device to be networked in the distribution network device, and then the distribution network device triggers a key acquisition request to the server, wherein the key acquisition request includes the product category information corresponding to the device to be networked. And the server inquires and obtains a corresponding key according to the product category information corresponding to the equipment to be networked and feeds the key back to the distribution network equipment.

303. And the distribution network equipment generates a random number.

304. And the distribution network equipment sends the random number, the encrypted PASSWORD, the SSID of the router and the BSSID to the equipment to be connected to the network.

305. And the equipment to be accessed to the network decrypts to obtain the PASSWORD, and accesses the router according to the SSID and the PASSWORD.

306. And the device to be networked generates a first token according to the random number, the BSSID and the PASSWORD.

In this embodiment, the token is generated based on the random number, BSSID, and PASSWORD, and the present invention is not limited to this.

307. And the equipment to be networked sends the first token to the server.

308. And the distribution network equipment generates a second token according to the random number, the BSSID and the PASSWORD.

It will be appreciated that the length of the first and second tokens is greater than the length of the random number.

309. And the distribution network equipment sends a query request carrying the second token to the server.

310. The server determines that the second token is consistent with the first token.

311. And the server sends the equipment information of the equipment to be networked to the network distribution equipment.

312. And the distribution network equipment stores the equipment information of the equipment to be networked.

Herein, the device information of the device to be networked refers to the unique information for distinguishing different devices to be networked, and belongs to the device level information, which is different from the product category information described above because different devices to be networked can correspond to the same product category information.

For the unexhausted description in this embodiment, reference may be made to the description in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, which is not described herein again.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a network configuration method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, the method may include the following steps:

401. the distribution network equipment generates a random number and generates a first token according to the random number.

402. And the distribution network equipment sends a query request to the server according to the first token.

403. And the distribution network equipment receives equipment information of the equipment to be networked, which is sent by the server when the first token is determined to be consistent with the second token, wherein the second token corresponds to the equipment to be networked.

404. And the distribution network equipment stores the equipment information of the equipment to be networked.

In this embodiment, optionally, the second token corresponding to the device to be networked stored in the server may be generated as follows:

the distribution network equipment sends the generated random number and the network configuration information of the router to the equipment to be networked, so that the equipment to be networked accesses the router according to the network configuration information, generates a second token according to the random number, and sends the second token to the server, wherein the lengths of the first token and the second token are greater than that of the random number.

That is to say, after the device to be networked is connected to the router based on the network configuration information sent by the distribution network device, the device to be networked can be networked. And then, the equipment to be networked generates a second token according to the random number sent by the distribution network equipment, and sends the second token to the server, so that the server establishes a corresponding relation between the second token and the equipment information of the equipment to be networked, and the equipment information of the equipment to be networked can be fed back to the distribution network equipment based on a consistency judgment result of the first token and the second token when the subsequent distribution network equipment generates the first token.

In addition, the server may also obtain the second token in other manners, that is, establish a corresponding relationship between the second token and the device information of the device to be networked.
