The present application may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

In order to clearly explain the present application, components that are not related to the description are omitted, and the same reference numerals are given to the same or similar components throughout the specification.

Throughout the specification, when a component is referred to as being "connected" to another component, this includes not only the case of being "directly connected" but also the case of being "indirectly connected" with another element interposed therebetween. In addition, when a component is referred to as "including" a certain constituent element, unless otherwise stated, it means that the component may include other constituent elements, without excluding other constituent elements.

When an element is referred to as being "on" another element, it can be directly on the other element, or intervening elements may also be present. When a component is referred to as being "directly on" another component, there are no intervening components present.

Although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements in some instances, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, the first interface and the second interface, etc. are described. Also, as used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises," "comprising," "includes" and/or "including," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, species, and/or groups, but do not preclude the presence, or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, species, and/or groups thereof. The terms "or" and/or "as used herein are to be construed as inclusive or meaning any one or any combination. Thus, "A, B or C" or "A, B and/or C" means "any of the following: a; b; c; a and B; a and C; b and C; A. b and C ". An exception to this definition will occur only when a combination of elements, functions, steps or operations are inherently mutually exclusive in some way.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

The method and corresponding hardware structures described in this application are for ease of understanding. See the relevant scene diagrams shown in fig. 1A-1C. Three embodiments that can be achieved in the present application are illustrated here by 1A-1C. The hardware architecture of the device based on the parameters involved or part of the parameters of the three embodiments is illustrated as follows:

the user terminal 2 is preferably a client terminal.

On one hand, the gateway device 3 is used for adding or registering the gateway device 3 to a user account, when networking is required to be performed on a new industrial device 5, a number which is provided outside the industrial device 5 and contains relevant information of the industrial device 5 is scanned through the user terminal 2, or a number which is not set in a hanging manner and contains relevant information of the industrial device 5 is scanned, the number is shown in fig. 2 and can be a two-dimensional code or a bar code containing a device serial number corresponding to the industrial device 5, and further, the user terminal 2 sends registration request information which is obtained through scanning and requests to join the gateway device 3 (for convenience of understanding, the device serial number to be verified) to the service terminal 1.

On the other hand, the user terminal 2 is also configured to directly send the scanned device serial number (device serial number to be authenticated) to the service terminal 1 to request access to the network.

The user terminal 2 may be, for example, a smart phone, a PAD, an industrial PAD, a smart scanning device, or the like, having a user terminal 2 that scans a two-dimensional code or a barcode.

The service terminal 1 is preferably a server.

On one hand, the service terminal 1 is configured to receive registration request information sent by the user terminal 2, and establish a communication connection with the corresponding gateway device 3 according to a gateway serial number corresponding to the gateway device 3 included in the registration request information, where the service terminal 1 and the gateway device 3 may have already established a connection or may be a connection re-established according to the gateway serial number. After the communication connection is established, the service terminal 1 informs the gateway device 3 to search the device serial number contained in the registration request information, after the gateway device 3 searches the device serial number, the service terminal 1 verifies the device serial number and the device serial number contained in the registration request information, if the device serial number is consistent with the device serial number, the device serial number is registered, or the device serial number is associated with the gateway device 3 to complete networking.

On the other hand, the service terminal 1 may also transfer the authentication work to the gateway device 3, that is, forward the registration request information sent by the user terminal 2 to the gateway device 3.

The communication device 4 may be a communication circuit, a communication module, or the like.

It should be noted that, each industrial device 5 is associated with a corresponding communication device 4 in advance, and the communication device may be integrated with the controller in the industrial device 5, or may be connected with the controller in a wired/wireless communication manner, and may be integrated with or separated from the controller.

On the one hand, after the industrial equipment 5 is powered on, the communication device 4 is activated, and the communication device automatically collects the equipment serial number (which may be referred to as a reference serial number for easy understanding) stored in the industrial equipment 5 and broadcasts the own communication device serial number together, so that the gateway device 3 is received when the service terminal 1 notifies that the equipment serial number included in the registration request information is searched after being connected by the service terminal 1.

For example, the device serial number stored in the industrial device 5 may be stored in a controller-related storage unit or a memory of the industrial device 5, and the controller and the communication device 4 are connected through a wired/wireless connection to directly obtain the device serial number; or, it may be a separate storage unit (e.g., man-machine interaction unit) stored on other industrial equipment 5.

On the other hand, the communication device 4 may also be a communication device or a communication module based on a mobile network, such as an NB-IoT, GSM, 3G, 4G, or other communication units. The device can directly communicate with the service terminal 1 without passing through gateway equipment, namely, the automatically acquired device serial number (reference serial number) and the self communication device serial number are uploaded to the service terminal 1 together, so that whether the device serial number (to-be-verified device serial number) is consistent with the device serial number in the registration request information is verified on the service terminal 1, and the device serial number is accessed to the network or registered.

In the present application, in some embodiments, the participation of the gateway apparatus 3 is required, whereas in embodiments where the communication device 4 is a mobile network based communication device or communication module, the participation of the gateway apparatus 3 is not required.

When the gateway device 3 needs to participate, it is mainly used for informing the service terminal 1 to search the device serial number included in the registration request information after the service terminal 1 is connected, and at this time, it will automatically search the signal of the surrounding corresponding frequency band, and already receive the signal including the device serial number (reference serial number) and the communication device sequence diffused by the communication device 4.

Further, on one hand, the gateway device 3 may upload a device serial number (reference serial number) and a communication apparatus sequence to the service terminal 1 together with a gateway serial number of itself, so that the service terminal 1 performs authentication, and binds the communication apparatus 4 after the authentication is passed;

on the other hand, the gateway device 3 may further receive registration request information including a device serial number (to-be-verified device serial number) forwarded by the server, perform verification at the gateway device 3, and if the verification is passed, the service terminal 1 completes registration of the device serial number and binds the communication apparatus 4.

In some embodiments of the present application, the communication between the communication device 4 and the controller of the industrial equipment 5 may be a wired/wireless communication method or a combination thereof, including but not limited to a serial port connection, such as a CAN bus.

When the communication device 4 is a mobile network communication device, the communication connection mode with the service terminal 1 may be any one or more of the internet, CAN, intranet, Wide Area Network (WAN), Local Area Network (LAN), wireless network, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) network, frame relay network, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network, Virtual Private Network (VPN), and/or any other suitable communication network, for example: any one or more of WIFI, Bluetooth, NFC, GPRS, GSM and Ethernet.

The communication form between the communication device 4 and the communication device 4 includes a wireless network form, such as a field, a WiFi form, a Sub-GHz form, a ZigBee form, and the like, and can also be a wired network connection form.

Briefly, three embodiments are implemented on the basis of the architecture of each end (hardware device) as described above, and the main differences between the three embodiments are as follows:

the process of verifying consistency in the first embodiment corresponding to fig. 1A is on the service terminal 1; the process of verifying consistency in the second embodiment corresponding to fig. 1B is on the gateway device 3; the gateway device 3 is absent in the third embodiment corresponding to fig. 1C.

But for clarity of illustration the various buses have been referred to in figure 3 as a bus system.

The following will describe in detail the network access and request method for the specific industrial equipment based on the equipment angle through three embodiments.

First embodiment

Fig. 4 is a flow chart illustrating a network access and request method for industrial equipment according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

Step S401: the user terminal obtains a gateway serial number of the gateway equipment.

In the first embodiment, the gateway serial number of the gateway device may be obtained by searching through the user terminal, or may be stored in a service terminal communicatively connected to the user terminal and displayed to the user terminal for selection, for example, the gateway serial number of a gateway device that is in the past or newly added.

Step S402: the user terminal collects a serial number of a device to be verified about an industrial device.

In the first embodiment, the user terminal (e.g. a smart phone) is obtained by scanning an identification code (two-dimensional code or bar code) provided on an external device or a non-attached device of the industrial device, for example, the identification code may be on an external package or a specification corresponding to the industrial device, may be attached to the industrial device, or may be an identification code separately sent after sale. Of course, the serial number of the device to be verified can be directly obtained instead of the identification code.

Step S403: the user terminal sends registration request information for requesting the industrial equipment to be accessed into the network to a service terminal so as to establish communication connection with the gateway equipment; correspondingly, the service terminal acquires registration request information for requesting to access an industrial device to the network.

Wherein, the registration request information includes the serial number of the device to be verified (obtained in step S402) and the gateway serial number of the gateway device itself (obtained in step S401);

and the equipment serial number to be verified is matched with the equipment serial number stored in the industrial equipment, so that the industrial equipment can be accessed to a network by the gateway equipment under the condition of matching.

Step S404: the gateway equipment receives a search instruction of the service terminal so as to enable the gateway equipment to search the corresponding industrial equipment to be accessed into the network and establish communication connection with the industrial equipment.

The search instruction is a request instruction for requesting the industrial device requested to be accessed in the registration information.

It should be noted that, after the service terminal obtains the registration request information, it can find the corresponding gateway device according to the gateway serial number (for example, the gateway device may have a connection history with the server), and tell the service terminal to search for the serial number of the device to be verified and the device corresponding to the serial number. It should be understood here that, after receiving the registration request message, the service terminal informs the corresponding gateway device of searching for the industrial device to be accessed to the network according to the gateway serial number therein.

In the method for the service terminal angle, the reason that the corresponding gateway equipment can not be found according to the gateway serial number and the equipment serial number to be verified and the corresponding equipment are searched is that: in the third embodiment, the service terminal does not need the gateway device (no gateway device in the third embodiment) to establish the connection, and therefore, this is a summary based on the service terminal execution angle, but it should be understood that, in the first embodiment, the service terminal can find the corresponding gateway device according to the gateway serial number and tell him to search for the device serial number to be verified and the corresponding device.

Step S405: the communication device establishes communication connection with network equipment (gateway equipment) and sends the reference serial number and the communication device serial number of the communication device to the communication device; correspondingly, the gateway device receives a device serial number (reference serial number) from the industrial device.

In a first embodiment, the communication device is integrated in/communicatively coupled to an industrial device, and is capable of obtaining the stored device serial number from the industrial device. And the action that the communication device acquires the reference serial number of the associated industrial equipment is activated along with the startup of the industrial equipment, and continuously broadcasts the reference serial number and the communication device serial number of the communication device as the surrounding after the communication device is activated so as to be received by the gateway equipment at any time.

After receiving the search instruction, the gateway device automatically searches signals of surrounding corresponding frequency bands to search signals continuously broadcast by the communication device, so that the reference serial number and the serial number of the communication device are received.

It should be noted that, here, the communication device also sends its own serial number, so that after the subsequent verification is passed, the gateway device can bind the communication relationship with the corresponding communication device according to the serial number of the communication device.

In the first embodiment, the network device is referred to as a gateway device (in the third embodiment, a service terminal).

Step S406: the service terminal gateway equipment sends the equipment serial number to the service terminal; accordingly, the device serial number stored in the industrial device is acquired as a reference serial number.

Specifically, the communication device serial number and the gateway serial number of the service terminal are simultaneously sent to the service terminal.

Step S407: and the service terminal carries out verification and accesses the industrial equipment into a network (namely, completes networking or registering the equipment serial number corresponding to the industrial equipment) under the condition that the equipment serial number to be verified is matched with the reference serial number.
