Description

Deployment method and device of wireless access point

The present application claims priority of chinese patent application entitled "a method and terminal for automatically deploying an AP" filed by the chinese patent office on 24/7/2019 with application number 201910673704.8, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for deploying a wireless access point.

Background

An Access Point (AP) is a wireless switch for a wireless network, and serves as a core of the wireless network, after the AP is accessed to a wired network, the AP may convert a wired signal into a wireless signal and transmit the wireless signal, and a terminal device (e.g., a smart phone, a tablet computer, a computer, etc.) may Access the wireless network by receiving the wireless signal transmitted by the AP. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of the terminal device, the AP is generally deployed in the area where the terminal device is located. For example, users tend to deploy APs in a room.

However, at present, users mainly rely on experience and intuition to deploy APs and cannot determine the appropriate number and location of deployed APs. The transmission power of an AP is limited and thus the coverage of the wireless signals transmitted by an AP is limited. If the number of deployed APs is small, wireless signals transmitted by the APs can only cover partial areas and cannot cover actually required areas, so that the wireless signals in some areas are weak and the internet access quality is poor. In addition, if the number of deployed APs is sufficient, but the deployed positions are not appropriate, a part of the area cannot be covered by wireless signals. If the number of deployed APs is too large, not only is resources wasted, but also the problem of mutual interference among APs exists, and the quality of wireless signals is reduced.

That is to say, when the APs are deployed in the prior art, the quantity and the positions of the deployed APs are often poor, and even the internet access requirements of the users cannot be met.

Detailed Description

The terms "first", "second" and "third", etc. in the description and claims of this application and the description of the drawings are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for limiting a particular order.

In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described herein as "exemplary" or "e.g.," is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present concepts related in a concrete fashion.

For clarity and conciseness of the following descriptions of the various embodiments, a brief introduction to the related art is first given:

the AP is the core of the wireless network. When wireless internet access is needed, the AP is often deployed. After the AP accesses the wired network, the AP converts the wired signal into a wireless signal and transmits the wireless signal. Various terminal devices (such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a computer, and the like) supporting wireless internet access can access a wireless network by receiving wireless signals transmitted by the AP to perform network access. Therefore, in order to ensure normal operation of the terminal device and enable the terminal device to surf the internet, an AP is generally deployed in an area where the terminal device is located.

Referring to the application scenario diagram of the AP shown in fig. 1, a space (e.g., a house) corresponding to the application scenario includes the AP101 and the terminal device, wherein one or more APs are often deployed in the space, for example, three APs are deployed in the space shown in fig. 1, so as to enable a wireless signal in the space to have a better coverage rate. In addition, the terminal device accesses the wireless network by receiving the wireless signal, and the terminal device may include multiple types, for example, in fig. 1, a smart phone 102, a computer 103, a television 104, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Currently, users typically deploy APs empirically and intuitively. But users often do not know the performance and signal coverage of APs and therefore it is difficult for users to actually determine the appropriate number and location of deployed APs.

If the number of deployed APs in an area is small, it is difficult for the wireless signals transmitted by the APs to cover all areas. For example, when an AP is deployed in a living room, a wireless signal transmitted by the AP often covers only the area of the living room, but cannot cover the area of a bedroom, so that the wireless signal in the bedroom is poor. Therefore, in a region with a larger area, more APs are often deployed.

Even if the number of deployed APs is sufficient, the deployed locations are not appropriate, which may affect the internet experience of the user. For example, areas with concentrated AP deployment have strong wireless signals, but other areas still cannot be covered by the wireless signals, which reduces the internet experience of users. When the number of deployed APs is too large, resources are wasted, and the too many APs often interfere with each other.

When users deploy the APs by experience and intuition, the problem that the number and the positions of deployed APs are not good often occurs.

In order to solve the above technical problem, the present application discloses a method and an apparatus for deploying a wireless access point through the following embodiments, so as to provide a scheme for reasonably deploying an AP.

The wireless access point deployment method disclosed by each embodiment of the application can be applied to various terminal devices. The multiple terminal devices can determine the number of the recommended deployed APs and the positions of the recommended deployed APs in the house according to the related information of the house where the APs are required to be deployed (such as the house type and the area of the house) and the types of the various APs, and display the number of the recommended deployed APs and the positions of the recommended deployed APs through the display interface of the terminal devices.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may be a mobile phone, a tablet Computer, a desktop, a laptop, a notebook, an Ultra-mobile Personal Computer (UMPC), a handheld Computer, a netbook, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a wearable terminal device, a smart watch, and the like, and the specific form of the smart home device, the server, and the terminal device is not particularly limited in this application. In this embodiment, a structure of a terminal device may be as shown in fig. 1, where fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a terminal device to which the wireless access point deployment method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied.

The sensor module 180 may include a pressure sensor 180A, a gyroscope sensor 180B, an air pressure sensor 180C, a magnetic sensor 180D, an acceleration sensor 180E, a distance sensor 180F, a proximity light sensor 180G, a fingerprint sensor 180H, a temperature sensor 180J, a touch sensor 180K, an ambient light sensor 180L, a bone conduction sensor 180M, and the like.

It is to be understood that the illustrated structure of the present embodiment does not constitute a specific limitation to the terminal device. In other embodiments, the terminal device may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or a different arrangement of components. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

The different processing units may be separate devices or may be integrated into one or more processors. For example, in the present application, the processor 110 may determine the number of APs proposed to be deployed in the premise and the location of the proposed AP according to the information about the premise where the AP is required to be deployed (e.g., the house type and area of the premise, etc.), and the type of each AP.

The controller can be a neural center and a command center of the terminal equipment. The controller can generate an operation control signal according to the instruction operation code and the timing signal to complete the control of instruction fetching and instruction execution.

A memory may also be provided in processor 110 for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor 110 is a cache memory. The memory may hold instructions or data that have just been used or recycled by the processor 110. If the processor 110 needs to reuse the instruction or data, it can be called directly from the memory. Avoiding repeated accesses reduces the latency of the processor 110, thereby increasing the efficiency of the system.

Further, in this embodiment of the present application, the memory may further store a house layout and the like that are input to the terminal device in advance, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In some embodiments, processor 110 may include one or more interfaces.

The I2C interface is a bi-directional synchronous serial bus that includes a serial data line (SDA) and a Serial Clock Line (SCL). In some embodiments, processor 110 may include multiple sets of I2C buses. The processor 110 may be coupled to the touch sensor 180K, the charger, the flash, the camera 193, etc. through different I2C bus interfaces, respectively. For example: the processor 110 may be coupled to the touch sensor 180K through an I2C interface, so that the processor 110 and the touch sensor 180K communicate through an I2C bus interface, thereby implementing a touch function of the terminal device.

The I2S interface may be used for audio communication. In some embodiments, processor 110 may include multiple sets of I2S buses. The processor 110 may be coupled to the audio module 170 via an I2S bus to enable communication between the processor 110 and the audio module 170. In some embodiments, the audio module 170 may communicate audio signals to the wireless communication module 160 via the I2S interface, enabling answering of calls via a bluetooth headset.

The PCM interface may also be used for audio communication, sampling, quantizing and encoding analog signals. In some embodiments, the audio module 170 and the wireless communication module 160 may be coupled by a PCM bus interface. In some embodiments, the audio module 170 may also transmit audio signals to the wireless communication module 160 through the PCM interface, so as to implement a function of answering a call through a bluetooth headset. Both the I2S interface and the PCM interface may be used for audio communication.

The UART interface is a universal serial data bus used for asynchronous communications. The bus may be a bidirectional communication bus. It converts the data to be transmitted between serial communication and parallel communication. In some embodiments, a UART interface is generally used to connect the processor 110 with the wireless communication module 160. For example: the processor 110 communicates with a bluetooth module in the wireless communication module 160 through a UART interface to implement a bluetooth function. In some embodiments, the audio module 170 may transmit the audio signal to the wireless communication module 160 through a UART interface, so as to realize the function of playing music through a bluetooth headset.

MIPI interfaces may be used to connect processor 110 with peripheral devices such as display screen 194, camera 193, and the like. The MIPI interface includes a Camera Serial Interface (CSI), a Display Serial Interface (DSI), and the like. In some embodiments, the processor 110 and the camera 193 communicate through a CSI interface to implement the shooting function of the terminal device.

The preset gesture can be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a pressure recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture and a double-click gesture. In some embodiments, the first operation may be an operation of a virtual key of the terminal device by a deployment person, or may be a user clicking a physical button of the terminal device.

For example, the deployment personnel may touch an icon of the deployment APP shown in fig. 3 or touch an icon of the deployment applet shown in fig. 4, in which case the first operation is a touch operation for the deployment APP icon or for the deployment applet icon.

And step S12, the terminal equipment responds to the first operation and displays a user-type graph determining interface.

When the deployment method of the wireless access point disclosed by each embodiment of the application is used for deploying the AP, the user type diagram of the house where the AP is deployed at this time needs to be determined, so that the number of the AP recommended to be deployed at this time and the position of the AP recommended to be deployed are determined according to the user type diagram. Therefore, in order to enable the terminal device to acquire the house type map of the house where the AP is deployed, the terminal device may display the determination interface of the house type map when the AP deployment is started.

The terminal device can determine the house type graph of the house where the AP is deployed in various ways. For example, the terminal device may receive a user-type diagram of deployment personnel input; or the terminal equipment can provide house type graphs in various forms, and then determines the house type graph of the house for which AP deployment is proposed at this time according to the received selection operation; or the terminal device may generate the layout plan according to an existing layout plan generating method.

And step S13, the terminal equipment receives a second operation aiming at the house type graph determination interface and determines a first house type graph according to the second operation.

And the first house type graph is the house type graph of the house where the AP needs to be deployed at this time. Also, in the embodiment of the present application, the first floor plan may be determined in various ways.

In one mode, the determining the first floor plan according to the second operation includes the following steps:

the terminal equipment displays at least one pre-stored house type graph;

the terminal equipment receives a third operation;

The pre-stored user type graph may be each picture pre-stored in the self-gallery for the terminal device, for example, a picture taken by a camera, or a picture obtained by an application such as a browser. Alternatively, the pre-stored house type graph can be a template of various house type graphs pre-stored in the terminal device.

In order to explicitly determine the manner of the first subscriber graph in the process of executing the AP deployment method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of examples are disclosed below.

In a first example, the pre-stored user type graph is each picture pre-stored in a self graph library by the terminal device, where fig. 7 is an example graph of an AP deployment interface of this example, and in this example, the first operation is a touch operation for a deployment applet icon displayed in diagram (a) in fig. 7. In this case, after receiving the touch operation for the deployment applet icon, a determination interface of the house type diagram shown in diagram (b) in fig. 7 may be displayed. In the diagram (b), three options are included, namely "input user type diagram", "select user type diagram" and "generate user type diagram", respectively.

When the deployment personnel think that the house type graph is pre-stored in the graph library of the terminal device and can use the pre-stored house type graph as the house type graph required by the AP deployment at this time, the deployment personnel can touch the option of inputting the house type graph. After receiving a touch for the option "enter user type diagram", the terminal device jumps to the interface shown in diagram (c) in fig. 7. In the interface shown in fig. (c), an option of "browse pictures" is provided, and the deployment person can select a path of the gallery in which the picture to be displayed is located by clicking the option. After receiving the operation for the option of "browsing pictures", the terminal device displays an interface shown in fig. (d) in fig. 7, where the interface displays each picture in the path for the deployment staff to select, and after receiving the selection operation of the deployment staff for one of the pictures, determines that the picture is the house type picture (i.e., the first house type picture) of the house that needs to be deployed by the AP this time. For example, after receiving a click operation for picture 1, the terminal device determines that picture 1 is a first user type graph. Then, the terminal device may jump to a subsequent interface, for example, to a subsequent AP determination interface.

In addition, when the picture displayed on the interface of fig. (d) does not include the first user-type picture required this time, the deployment personnel may touch the return key, and after receiving the touch operation of the return key, the terminal device returns to the interface shown in fig. (c) to select another path through the interface of fig. (c). When the terminal device displays the interface in fig. c, the deployment personnel can also touch a return key in the interface to return the terminal device to the interface shown in fig. b, so that the deployment personnel can select other options.

In this case, the second operation includes an operation of touching an option of "inputting a user-type figure", and an operation of selecting a path where a picture to be displayed is located. In addition, the third operation is an operation of selecting a picture presented by the terminal device to determine that the picture is the first house type picture.

In the above example, the first floor plan is determined by a picture stored in advance in the terminal device. However, the terminal device often includes a plurality of pictures in the same path. For example, a path corresponding to a camera often includes a plurality of pre-shot pictures, such as a pre-shot house figure, a landscape, a portrait, and the like. Therefore, when the terminal device displays various pictures for the deployment personnel to select, the deployment personnel may select the wrong picture. In this case, in this embodiment of the application, after determining the picture selected by the deployment person, the picture may be further subjected to picture recognition, and if the picture is subjected to picture recognition, the picture is determined to be the house type picture, and then the picture is determined to be the first house type picture. If the picture is identified and determined not to be the house type picture, the terminal device can also generate corresponding prompt information to prompt the deployer that the picture selected by the deployer cannot be used as the first house type picture, so as to prompt the deployer to re-determine the first house type picture.

In another example, the terminal device may provide a plurality of templates of house type maps for the deployment personnel to select, that is, the at least one pre-stored house type map displayed by the terminal device is a template of a house type map pre-stored by the terminal device. The template may be pre-generated and stored by the AP deployment application or AP deployment applet. And selecting one of the house type graphs as the first house type graph according to the received third operation. In this case, the interface displayed by the terminal device can be seen in fig. 8. Fig. 8 is another exemplary diagram of an AP deployment interface, in which the first operation is a touch operation on a deployment applet icon displayed in diagram (a) in fig. 8. In this case, after receiving the touch operation for the deployment applet icon, a determination interface of the house type diagram shown in diagram (b) in fig. 8 may be displayed. In the diagram (b), three options are included, namely "input user type diagram", "select user type diagram" and "generate user type diagram", respectively.

In this example, after the deployment person touches the option of "select the user type diagram", the terminal device may display an interface shown in diagram (c) in fig. 8, where the interface displays templates of the user type diagrams in multiple forms, and after receiving a click operation on a template of one of the user type diagrams, determines that the template is the user type diagram of the house that needs to be deployed by the AP this time. For example, in the diagram (c), if the deployer clicks the house type diagram 5, it is determined that the house type diagram 5 is the first house type diagram of the house that needs to perform AP deployment this time. Then, the terminal device may also jump to an interface for subsequent operations, for example, to an AP determination interface.

In addition, when the picture displayed on the interface in fig. (c) does not include the first user-type picture required this time, the deployment staff may also touch the return key of the interface, and after receiving the touch operation, the terminal device returns to the interface shown in fig. 8 (b), so that the deployment staff may select another option.

In this example, the second operation includes an operation of touching an option of "select user type diagram", and the third operation includes an operation of selecting a template of a certain user type diagram in the interface.

In another mode provided by the embodiment of the present application, the determining, by the terminal device, the first user profile according to the second operation includes:

the terminal equipment receives first data;

The layout plan generation method interface comprises at least one layout plan generation method for the deployment personnel to select. After the deployment personnel select one of the house type graph generation methods, the terminal equipment acquires first data according to the method and generates a first house type graph through the first data. The house type map generation method may be an acoustic wave detection method, or may also generate the first house type map through a sensor or a depth camera built in the terminal device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In addition, the first data includes: depth data between a target object and the terminal device; the target object includes: the proposal is to deploy the walls of the AP house. In this case, the terminal device generates a first house type graph according to the depth between the terminal device and each wall. When the house type graph generation method selected by the deployment personnel is an acoustic wave detection method, the depth data can be obtained in an acoustic wave detection mode; when a user-type graph is generated by a sensor arranged in the terminal equipment, the first data is acquired by the sensor; and when the user-type graph is generated through a depth camera built in the terminal equipment, acquiring the first data through the depth camera.

Illustratively, when generating the first user-type diagram according to the first data, refer to the interface schematic diagram displayed by the terminal device shown in fig. 9. In this example, the first operation is a touch operation for the deployment applet icon displayed in diagram (a) in fig. 9, and then the terminal device displays a house type diagram determination interface illustrated in diagram (b) in fig. 9.

In this example, the deployer may click on the option "generate a user-type diagram", in which case, the terminal device may display an interface shown in diagram (c) in fig. 9, in which a plurality of user-type diagram generation methods are displayed for the deployer to select. The deployment personnel can select one of the house type graph generation methods, and the terminal equipment generates the first house type graph through the method after receiving the selection operation of the deployment personnel for one of the house type graph generation methods. For example, in the interface shown in fig. (c), the deployment person clicks the selection of "sound wave detection", and the terminal device generates the first floor plan by the sound wave detection method after receiving the click operation. Then, the terminal device may also jump to an interface for subsequent operations, for example, to an AP determination interface. In addition, when the interface shown in the diagram (c) does not include the user type diagram generation method that the deployment personnel wants to apply, the deployment personnel can also touch the return key, and after receiving the touch operation, the terminal device returns to the interface shown in the diagram (b) so that the deployment personnel can select other options. Or, when the terminal device generates the user type diagram by using the default user type diagram generation method, after receiving the touch operation on the option of "generate the user type diagram", the terminal device generates the first user type diagram according to the default user type diagram generation method, so that the terminal device does not jump to the interface shown in the diagram (c).

In this example, the second operation includes an operation of touching an option of "generate user diagram", and an operation of selecting a user diagram generation method.

Through the various interfaces and the received operations, the terminal device can determine a first layout of the premises where the AP is recommended to be deployed, so as to determine the proper number of the AP recommended to be deployed and the proper position of the AP recommended to be deployed through the first layout.

And step S14, the terminal equipment determines the AP type proposed to be deployed at this time.

In the embodiment of the present application, the type of the AP proposed to be deployed at this time needs to be determined, so as to determine the performance of the AP according to the type of the AP, and determine a corresponding deployment scheme according to the performance of the AP. For example, the terminal device may store relevant parameters corresponding to various types of APs in advance, or the terminal device may determine relevant parameters corresponding to various types of APs by accessing the server, and may determine the performance of the AP through the relevant parameters.

In the actual process of deploying the AP, the needs of the deployment personnel are often different. For example, in some scenarios, the deployer has not purchased an AP, i.e., has not determined the type of AP deployed, in which case the terminal device may provide the deployer with various AP models for the deployer to select; or, the terminal device may provide one or more suggested AP models, and determine a corresponding deployment scenario according to the suggested AP models; or, the deployer has purchased the AP, that is, the type of the AP proposed to be deployed is determined, in this case, the location and the number of the AP proposed to be deployed at this time need to be determined according to the determined AP type.

In the embodiment of the application, the type of the AP proposed to be deployed at this time may be determined in various ways. In one mode, the determining, by the terminal device, the type of the AP proposed to be deployed at this time includes the following steps:

the terminal equipment displays an AP determining interface;

Wherein the fourth operation is to indicate the AP type selected by the deployment personnel. For example, at least one AP type may be displayed in an AP determination interface displayed by the terminal device, and the deployment person selects one of the AP types through the fourth operation, in this case, the terminal device determines the AP type selected by the deployment person, that is, the AP type suggested to be deployed this time. Or the AP determination interface displayed by the terminal device may include an input box, the deployment worker inputs the AP type into the input box through the fourth operation, and after receiving the input AP type, the terminal device determines that the input AP type is the AP type recommended to be deployed at this time.

Of course, the fourth operation may also be other forms of operations, which are not limited in this application.

In order to clarify the process of determining the AP type through the fourth operation in the embodiment of the present application, the following discloses a corresponding example.

In one example, the terminal device determines the type of the AP proposed to be deployed this time based on the model of the AP selected by the deployment staff. For example, in some scenarios, when AP deployment is required, a deployment person does not purchase an AP yet, the deployment person does not specify an AP type that the deployment is desired at this time, and the terminal device may display an AP type list, where the AP type list includes multiple types of APs, and select one of the AP types according to a received fourth operation, so that the terminal device determines the AP type that the deployment is proposed at this time.

In this example, referring to the exemplary diagram shown in fig. 10, after determining the house type diagram, the terminal device may jump to an AP determination interface shown in diagram (a) in fig. 10, in which three options are included, respectively, "AP list", "input AP type", and "offer for proposal". The deployment personnel can click on the option of 'AP list' in the AP type list, and after the click is received, the deployment personnel jumps to an interface for displaying the AP type list. The interface displaying the AP type list may be as shown in diagram (b) of fig. 10. In the figure, a plurality of AP types are included for a deployment person to select, after receiving a selection operation of the deployment person for a certain AP type, the AP type is determined to be the AP type suggested to be deployed at this time, and then the terminal device may jump to an interface for subsequent operations. For example, when the terminal device displays the list shown in fig. (b), the deployment person clicks the type "AP 5030 DN", and after receiving the click operation, the terminal device determines that the AP of the type AP5030DN is the AP type proposed to be deployed this time.

In this case, in this example, the fourth operation may include an operation of selecting "AP list" and an operation of selecting a plurality of AP types displayed on the terminal device.

In addition, in the actual deployment process, deployment personnel in some scenes already determine the types of APs to be deployed at this time. For example, when the deployer has purchased an AP and wishes to deploy the purchased AP, the AP type proposed to be deployed is the AP type of the AP that the deployer has purchased. To meet this need, the present application discloses another example. In this example, the terminal device may receive the AP model input by the deployment staff, so as to determine the model of the AP deployed this time according to the input of the deployment staff.

In this example, referring to another exemplary diagram shown in fig. 11, the terminal device may jump to an AP determination interface shown in diagram (a) in fig. 11 after determining the house type diagram, in which three options are included, i.e., "AP list", "input AP type", and "suggestion provision", respectively. The deployment staff may click the option of "input AP type" therein, and after receiving the click, jump to an interface for receiving an AP model, where the interface may be as shown in fig. 11 (b), and when displaying the interface, the terminal device displays an input box and may receive the AP type input by the deployment staff through the input box.

In this case, in this example, the fourth operation may include an operation of selecting "input AP type", and an operation of inputting AP type.

Or when the terminal device supports the photographing function, the terminal device may further photograph the AP prepared by the deployment personnel, acquire a picture including the AP, determine the AP type in the picture through picture identification, and determine that the AP type in the picture is the AP type proposed to be deployed this time.

In this case, the fourth operation may include acquiring a picture including the AP.

Further, in this example, the terminal device may also receive the number of APs. For example, when a deployment person purchases a certain number of APs, the number of APs may be entered. In this case, the terminal device may display an interface for selecting the number of APs after receiving the input AP model, and the interface may be provided with an input box so as to receive the input number of APs through the input box. In addition, a plurality of digital options can be set in the interface, and when touch operation for a certain digital option is received, the terminal device determines the number of input APs through the digital option corresponding to the touch operation. In addition, the interface for selecting the number of APs may further include an option that does not specify the number of APs, and when receiving an operation for the option, the terminal device jumps to the next interface. The interface displayed by the terminal device for selecting the number of APs may be as shown in diagram (c) in fig. 11. When the terminal device receives a touch operation for a certain number option, it determines the number of APs specified by the number for the deployment personnel, for example, in fig. (c), if the deployment personnel performs a click touch operation for the number "2", the terminal device determines that the number of the specified APs is 2. In addition, after the terminal device receives a touch operation for a certain digital option, or receives an operation for an option of 'no AP number specified', the terminal device may also jump to a subsequent operation interface.

In this case, in this example, the fourth operation may further include an operation of inputting the number of APs.

Or when the terminal device supports the photographing function, the terminal device may further photograph the APs prepared by the deployment personnel, acquire a picture including the APs, determine the number of the APs included in the picture through picture identification, and determine that the number of the APs in the picture is the number of the APs proposed to be deployed this time.

In the above example, a method for determining the AP type by the terminal device through the fourth operation is disclosed, and the terminal device may also determine the AP type proposed to be deployed this time through other methods. In another mode, the determining, by the terminal device, the AP type proposed to be deployed includes:

the terminal equipment displays an AP determining interface;

In some scenarios, deployment personnel may desire that the terminal device be able to provide AP-type related suggestions. For example, when a deployment person does not know about an AP, it is often desirable for a terminal device to be able to recommend an appropriate AP type. In this case, the AP type may be determined by the terminal device according to the first subscriber profile in the manner described above.

When determining the AP type according to the first house type map, the terminal device may determine an actual house area corresponding to the first house type map according to a scaling ratio between the house area in the first house type map and an actual house area, and determine at least one AP type as the AP type suggested to be deployed this time according to a correspondence between the actual house area and the AP type stored in advance.

In addition, when determining the AP type proposed to be deployed this time in the manner described above, the deployment staff may select an option of "propose to provide" in the AP determination interface shown in fig. 10(a), and after receiving a click on the option, the terminal device may provide one or more proposed AP types, where the proposed AP type is the AP type proposed to be deployed this time. And then, the terminal equipment can also jump to an interface for subsequent operation.

In this case, in this example, the fifth operation includes an operation of selecting the option of "suggest to provide".

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the type of the AP proposed to be deployed may also be determined in another manner, where the method includes the following steps:

In this way, after acquiring the first subscriber graph, the terminal device determines the AP type proposed to be deployed this time directly according to the first subscriber graph.

In the embodiment of the present application, a method for determining, by a terminal device, an AP type proposed to be deployed this time according to a fourth operation, a fifth operation, and a first subscriber graph directly according to the terminal device is disclosed. When the terminal device determines the AP type according to the fourth operation or the fifth operation, human-computer interaction is required to be performed because the terminal device is required to receive the fourth operation or the fifth operation, and therefore, the determined AP type is often more in line with the expectation of deployment personnel. In addition, when the terminal equipment directly determines the AP type recommended to be deployed at this time according to the first house type diagram, the efficiency of determining the AP type can be improved as human-computer interaction is not needed.

In order to meet different requirements of deployment personnel in determining the AP type, the terminal device may further receive an adjustment operation before determining the AP type proposed to be deployed at this time, where the adjustment operation is used to adjust the method for determining the AP type. For example, when the adjustment operation indicates that the AP type proposed to be deployed this time is determined through the fifth operation, the terminal device always determines the AP type through the fifth operation until the next adjustment operation is received.

And step S15, the terminal device displays an AP deployment interface according to the first user type diagram and the AP type, wherein the AP deployment interface is used for displaying the quantity of the recommended deployed APs and the positions of the recommended deployed APs.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal device may determine the number of recommended deployed APs and the positions of the recommended deployed APs according to the first user type diagram and the types of the APs recommended to be deployed at this time, and display the number of the recommended deployed APs and the positions of the recommended deployed APs through the AP deployment interface, so that a deployment worker can determine the number of the recommended deployed APs and the positions of the recommended deployed APs at this time by looking up the AP deployment interface.

In one possible implementation manner, the AP deployment interface includes a second house type diagram, and the second house type diagram displays the position of the AP suggested to be deployed through a preset symbol mark. The position of the symbol is the position of the AP recommended to be deployed, and the number of the symbols is the number of the APs recommended to be deployed.

The preset symbol in the second house type diagram may be in various forms, for example, the symbol may be in a relatively striking color such as black, red or green, and may be in a shape such as a triangle, a circle, or a pentagon, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

In another possible implementation manner, when the terminal device determines the AP type according to the first house type diagram, the AP deployment interface includes a second house type diagram, and the second house type diagram displays the location of the recommended AP deployment through a preset symbol mark; and, the AP deployment interface further comprises: the AP type determined by the terminal equipment.

In this case, the deployment personnel can determine not only the position and the number of the APs recommended to be deployed at this time, but also the type of the AP recommended by the terminal device by viewing the deployment interface.

In another possible implementation manner, when the terminal device determines, through a fourth operation, an AP type of the recommended deployment this time, and the fourth operation is further used to indicate an AP, and the number of APs indicated by the fourth operation does not match the number of APs recommended to be deployed, the AP deployment interface includes a second floor plan, and the second floor plan displays the location of the recommended AP through a preset symbol mark, and the AP deployment interface further includes: and prompting information whether the number of APs indicated by the fourth operation is appropriate.

For example, when the number of APs indicated by the fourth operation is less than the number of APs proposed to be deployed at this time, the terminal device may generate a prompt that the number of APs is insufficient, so that the deployment personnel can prepare a larger number of APs.

Further, in this embodiment of the application, after the terminal device displays the AP deployment interface, the following operations are further included:

the terminal equipment receives a sixth operation;

and the terminal equipment responds to the sixth operation and generates and displays a wireless fidelity (wifi) thermodynamic diagram.

The wifi thermodynamic diagram is used for displaying the strength of wireless signals of different areas in the house which need to be deployed at this time after AP deployment is carried out according to the suggestion of the terminal device. In a possible implementation manner, the wifi thermodynamic diagram may include a third house type diagram, and the intensity of the wireless signal of each area in the third house type diagram is displayed through a special highlight form, and the color of the area with different intensity of the wireless signal is different.

Optionally, the AP deployment interface may include a virtual button for displaying wifi thermodynamic diagrams, and when the deployment staff needs to view the wifi thermodynamic diagrams, the virtual button may be touched. In this case, the sixth operation includes a touch operation on a virtual key "display wifi thermodynamic diagram".

Or, when the terminal device supports voice input, the deployment personnel can send out voice, and the voice comprises related information of displaying wifi thermodynamic diagram. After receiving the voice, the terminal equipment performs voice recognition and then displays a corresponding wifi thermodynamic diagram. In this case, the sixth operation includes a voice-emitting operation, and the emitted voice includes information on "displaying wifi thermodynamic diagram

Of course, the sixth operation may also be other forms of operations, which are not limited in this application.

Further, in another feasible implementation manner, after the terminal device displays the AP deployment interface each time, the terminal device may also wait for a preset time period, and after the preset time period, display the wifi thermodynamic diagram.

To further clarify the form of the AP deployment interface, a number of examples are disclosed below.

In one example, the preset symbol in the AP deployment interface is a black dot. Referring to fig. 12, when the terminal device displays an AP-determined surface, as shown in diagram (a) in fig. 12, the deployment staff clicks an option of "AP list" therein, and after the terminal device displays an AP type list as shown in diagram (b) in fig. 12, the deployment staff selects one of the AP types, in which case, an AP deployment scenario interface displayed by the terminal device is as shown in diagram (c) in fig. 12, a second floor plan is displayed in the interface, and the AP proposed to be deployed this time is marked by a black dot in the second floor plan. The positions marked by the black dots are the positions of the APs recommended to be deployed at this time, and the number of the black dots marked in the second house type diagram is the number of the APs recommended to be deployed at this time. In this case, if the interface displayed in fig. (c) includes two black dots, it indicates that two APs are proposed to be deployed this time, and the two APs are proposed to be deployed at the positions marked by the black dots.

Further, an option for displaying the wifi thermodynamic diagram can be set on an interface for displaying the AP deployment scheme, and after receiving touch operation for the option, the terminal device jumps to the display interface of the wifi thermodynamic diagram to display the wifi thermodynamic diagram.

In this case, the interface diagram shown in fig. (c) includes an option of "display wifi thermodynamic diagram", and when the deployment personnel needs to view the wifi thermodynamic diagram, the option of "display wifi thermodynamic diagram" may be clicked. After receiving the touch operation for the option, the terminal device may jump to an interface shown in diagram (d) in fig. 12, and display wifi thermodynamic diagrams through the interface.

Further, on the interface displaying the wifi thermodynamic diagram, an option of "end" may also be included. When the deployment personnel already know the position and the number of the AP recommended to be deployed at this time and need to end the AP deployment operation at this time, the option of ending can be clicked, after the click operation is received, the terminal equipment ends the AP deployment at this time and jumps to an interface before the AP deployment is started. For example, when the deployment of the AP is started by touching the APP-deployed icon on the desktop of the terminal device, after receiving the touch operation for the ending option, the terminal device often jumps to the desktop on which the icons of the APPs are displayed; and when the AP starts to be deployed through the small deployment program of the touch WeChat, after receiving the touch operation aiming at the ending option, the terminal equipment jumps to a WeChat interface.

In another example, when the terminal device displays an AP confirmation interface, as shown in fig. 13 (a), after the deployment person clicks an option of "suggestion provision" therein, an interface of the AP deployment scenario displayed by the terminal device is as shown in fig. 13 (b), a second floor plan is displayed in the interface, in the second floor plan, the deployment position of the AP is marked by a black point, the position of the suggested AP can be determined according to the position of the black point, and two APs suggested to be deployed at this time can be determined according to the number of the black points. Moreover, since the terminal device provides the suggestion of the AP type, the AP type determined by the terminal device is also included in the AP deployment interface. For example, in diagram (b) in fig. 13, the "suggested AP model: a description of the AP5030 "means that after receiving a click operation of the deployment person for an option of" suggest provision ", the terminal device suggests that the AP type of the current deployment is the AP 5030.

Further, on the interface displaying the AP deployment scenario, an option displaying wifi thermodynamic diagrams may also be set in the interface, for example, in the diagram (b), an option of "displaying wifi thermodynamic diagrams" is included, and when the deployment staff needs to view the wifi thermodynamic diagrams, the option of "displaying wifi thermodynamic diagrams" may be clicked. After receiving the touch operation for the option, the terminal device may display an interface shown in fig. (c) in fig. 13, display a corresponding wifi thermodynamic diagram through the interface, and may further include an option of "end" on the interface displaying the wifi thermodynamic diagram. After receiving the click operation of the option of "end", the terminal device ends the AP deployment of this time, and jumps to the interface before starting the AP deployment.

Or, in another example, when the terminal device displays the AP-determined interface, the deployment person clicks the option of "enter AP type" therein, in which case, the interface of the AP deployment scenario displayed by the terminal device may be as shown in fig. (c), and a second user type diagram is displayed in the interface, and the AP is marked by a black dot in the second user type diagram. The positions marked by the black dots are the positions of the APs recommended to be deployed at this time, and the number of the black dots marked in the second house type diagram is the number of the APs recommended to be deployed at this time.

Further, when the terminal device supports the deployment person to input the number of APs, the deployment person may not only input the AP type, but also input the number of APs. In this case, referring to the example schematic diagram shown in fig. 14, in this example, when the terminal device displays an AP determination interface, as shown in diagram (a) in fig. 14, the deployment person clicks an option of "input AP type" therein, and after the terminal device receives a click operation for the option of "input AP type", it jumps to the interface shown in diagram (b) in fig. 14 and receives the model number of the AP input by the deployment person at the interface. Then, the terminal device jumps to the interface of diagram (c) in fig. 14, and receives the number of APs input by the deployment person. That is, the deployment personnel specify the AP type and number. In this case, after determining the number of APs proposed to be deployed this time, the terminal device may compare the number of APs proposed to be deployed this time with the number of APs indicated by the deployment staff, and generate a corresponding prompt interface accordingly.

If the number of the APs specified by the deployment personnel is smaller than the number of the APs suggested to be deployed this time, the terminal device displays an interface shown in a diagram (d) in fig. 14 to prompt that the number of the APs is insufficient and the APs need to be added. In addition, when the number of the APs specified by the deployment personnel is larger than the number of the APs suggested to be deployed at this time, the terminal device displays another interface to prompt that the number of the APs is too large, and the number of the APs needs to be reduced. When the terminal device displays the prompt interface in fig. d, if a touch operation of the terminal device for the next step is received, or the time displayed by the prompt interface reaches a preset time length, the terminal device may jump to the interface shown in fig. 14 (e), where the interface displays a second house type diagram, in which the position of the AP proposed to be deployed at this time is marked by black dots, and the number of the AP proposed to be deployed at this time is indicated by the number of the black dots. And, the interface further includes an option of "displaying wifi thermodynamic diagrams", and after receiving a touch operation for the option, the terminal device may display an interface shown in diagram (f) in fig. 14, through which the corresponding wifi thermodynamic diagrams are displayed. An "end" option may also be included on the interface displaying the wifi thermodynamic diagram. After receiving the click operation of the option of "end", the terminal device ends the AP deployment of this time, and jumps to the interface before starting the AP deployment.

Through the embodiment of the application, the terminal equipment can display the AP deployment interface. The deployment personnel can determine the position of the AP recommended to be deployed and the quantity of the AP recommended to be deployed at this time by looking up the AP deployment interface, so that the problem that the proper quantity and position of the AP are difficult to determine in the prior art is solved.

In the embodiment of the present application, through step S15, an operation of displaying, by the terminal device, an AP deployment interface according to the first user type diagram and the AP type is disclosed, and in order to clarify steps included in the operation, the present application discloses another embodiment. Referring to the workflow diagram shown in fig. 15, the deployment method of the wireless access point disclosed in this embodiment includes the following steps:

step S21, the terminal device receives a first operation, where the first operation is used to start deployment of the wireless access point AP.

And step S22, the terminal equipment responds to the first operation and displays a user-type graph determining interface.

And step S23, the terminal equipment receives a second operation aiming at the house type graph determination interface and determines a first house type graph according to the second operation.

And step S24, the terminal equipment determines the AP type proposed to be deployed at this time.

The specific operation processes of step S21 to step S24 are the same as those of step S11 to step S14 in the above embodiments, and are referred to herein for brevity.

Step S25, the terminal device performs mesh division on the first house type graph, and determines the house type parameters between the rooms in the house where the AP is deployed according to the result of the mesh division, where the house type parameters include: wall attenuation and connectivity.

In the embodiment of the application, after the first house type graph is obtained, a corresponding house type connection graph can be obtained according to the first house type graph. The house type connection diagram is used for indicating the connection relation of all rooms in a house where the AP needs to be deployed, after the first house type diagram is obtained, the terminal equipment regards each room in the first house type diagram as a unit, and adjacent rooms are connected through straight lines, so that the house type connection diagram is obtained.

In one example, when the first floor plan is shown in FIG. 16, then the floor plan connectivity is shown in FIG. 17. Where the numbers in fig. 16 and 17 are room numbers.

In the embodiment of the present application, the house type parameters include: wall attenuation and connectivity. Wherein, the wall attenuation refers to the signal attenuation caused when the wireless signal transmitted by the AP passes through the wall between different rooms, and the wall attenuation when the wireless signal passes from room a to room B can be recorded as C_ab. In addition, wall attenuation is usually related to the material and thickness of the wall, in the embodiment of the present application, the wall attenuation can be determined according to the material and thickness of different walls and the corresponding relationship between the wall attenuation, and the connectivity between the room a and the room B can be recorded as L_ab. According to the communication relationship between the room A and the room B, L_abDifferent values may be taken, wherein the connectivity comprises: fully communicating, fully non-communicating and partially communicating.

Specifically, when determining connectivity between rooms, grid division needs to be performed on the first house type graph, so that each room occupies one or more grids, and the size of each grid is the same, and then the connectivity is determined according to the grid division result.

In one example of meshing, a first house layout is shown in fig. 16, and a schematic diagram of the meshed house layout is shown in fig. 18.

In this case, a straight line connecting any one of the grids in the room a and any one of the grids in the room B is determined, and when the straight line connecting the grids does not pass through any other room, the straight lines connecting the grids in the room a and the room B are determinedThe communication relation is complete communication, and the communication L between the room A and the room B_abFor example, the

rooms

1 and 2 in fig. 16 are completely connected in the connected relationship.

When the straight line connecting any grid in the room A and any grid in the room B passes through other rooms, the connection relationship between the room A and the room B is completely disconnected, and in this case, the connection L between the room A and the room B is_abInf, for example, the

rooms

1 and 5 in fig. 16 are completely disconnected from each other.

In addition, a connecting straight line between any grid in the room A and any grid in the room B is determined, and when part of the connecting straight lines do not pass through other rooms, the connection relationship between the room A and the room B is partial connection, in which case, 1 < L_ab< 2, for example, the

rooms

1 and 4 in FIG. 16 are partially connected.

Wherein the connectivity between room a and room B follows the following formula:

based on the above formula, the connectivity between any two rooms can be determined. In the above formula, L_abFor connectivity between room A and room B, HA is a grid set formed by all grids in room A, and HA is a network element_uIs the u mesh in the mesh set HA, HN_AFor the number of all grids in room A, HN_BNumber of all grids in Room B, HB_u1Number of connectable grids for Room B and Room A, HB_u0The number of grids that are not connected in room B and room a.

In addition, when determining connectivity between two rooms by the above formula, it is necessary to determine the number of grids contained in the two rooms (i.e., determine HN)_AAnd HN_B). In the embodiment of the present application, when determining the number of grids included in a room, a room in which a center point of a grid is located is generally used as a room to which the grid belongs, and the number of the grids in the room is calculated according to the roomThe number of grids involved. For example, if a grid is in a first room and a second room at the same time, but the center point of the grid is in the first room, it is determined that the grid belongs to the first room, and the grid is counted in the first room when the number of grids included in the first room is calculated, and the grid is ignored when the number of grids included in the second room is calculated.

For example, in fig. 18, a partial region of one grid is located in the room 1 and another partial region is located in the room 2, but the center point a of the grid is located in the room 1, and therefore, when the number of grids included in the room 1 is calculated, the grid is determined to be a grid belonging to the room 1.

Or, in the embodiment of the present application, when determining the number of grids included in a room, if one grid is located in different rooms at the same time, the areas of the grids located in different rooms may also be obtained, the room with the largest area is taken as the room to which the grid belongs, and the number of grids included in the room is calculated according to the areas.

Of course, the number of grids respectively included in each room may also be calculated in other manners, which is not limited in this application.

In addition, the terminal device needs to obtain the area of each room, wherein the area of each room can be determined according to the scaling of the area of the house type map and the actual area of the house, and the area of the house type map.

In one example, when the first floor plan is shown in FIG. 16 and the floor connectivity plan is shown in FIG. 17, the floor parameters and areas for the various rooms in this example can be shown in the following table:

in this case, an indoor type connectivity map containing the indoor type parameters may be determined, and the indoor type connectivity map containing the indoor type parameters is shown in fig. 19.

Step S26, the terminal device determines the total attenuation of the wireless signals between the divided grids according to the AP type and the house type parameter.

Wherein the overall attenuation of the wireless signal between the two grids is the sum of the interval attenuation between the two grids and the propagation attenuation of free space between the two grids.

In addition, the spacing between two grids is attenuated by the spacing of the rooms in which the two grids are located. For example, if the first grid is located in room a and the second grid is located in room B, the attenuation of the interval between the first grid and the second grid is the attenuation of the wall between room a and room B. When two grids are located in the same room, the spacing between the two grids decays to zero.

Setting the LoSS as the separation attenuation of the rooms A and B_ABWhen room A is adjacent to room B, the spacing between room A and room B is attenuated LOSS_ABIs the product of wall attenuation and connectivity of the two rooms. For example, when the first floor plan is as shown in fig. 16, room 1 is adjacent to room 2, the attenuation of the separation between room 1 and room 2 can be expressed as:

LOSS₁₂＝C₁₂*L₁₂。

among them, LOSS₁₂For the space between room 1 and room 2 to be attenuated, C₁₂For wall attenuation of

rooms

1 and 2, L₁₂Is the connectivity of room 1 with room 2.

When the room a is not adjacent to the room B, indirect calculation is performed by the rooms in which the room a is adjacent to the room B. For example, when the first floor plan is shown in fig. 16, room 1 is not adjacent to room 5, but both room 1 and room 5 are adjacent to room 4, in which case the attenuation of the separation between room 1 and room 5 can be expressed as:

LOSS₁₅＝C₁₄*L₁₄+C₄₅*L₄₅。

among them, LOSS₁₅For the space between room 1 and room 5 to be attenuated, C₁₄For wall attenuation of

rooms

1 and 4, L₁₄For the connectivity of the

rooms

1 and 4, C₄₅Is the wall attenuation of the

rooms

4 and 5, L₄₅Is the connectivity of room 4 with room 5.

In addition, propagation attenuation of free space refers to attenuation of a wireless signal while propagating in free space, which can be expressed by PL. In this embodiment, the wireless signal is a wireless signal transmitted by an AP proposed to be deployed at this time.

Wherein free space refers to a propagation space without any multipath. The free-space propagation attenuation can be determined by a signal transmission attenuation model, which in one possible example is as follows:

PL＝32.4+20log₁₀(f_c)+20log₁₀(d)。

in the examples of the present application, f_cThe frequency of the wireless signal transmitted by the AP corresponding to the AP type proposed to be deployed at this time determined in step S14 is denoted by d, which is the transmission distance of the wireless signal. In calculating the propagation attenuation of the free space between two grids, d in the above formula refers to the transmission distance of the wireless signal between the two grids. In the embodiment of the present application, the AP type of each AP (including the main AP and the sub-AP) proposed to be deployed is determined through step S14, and then, according to the AP type, the performance of each AP proposed to be deployed at this time may be determined, where the performance includes the frequency of the transmitted wireless signal.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the transmission distance d between two grids needs to be determined, a distance of a line segment connected to center points of the two grids in a house type graph in the house type graph is generally obtained, and then, according to a ratio between an area of a house in the house type graph and an actual area of the house and a distance of the line segment in the house type graph, an actual length of the line segment may be determined, where the actual length of the line segment is a transmission distance of a wireless signal between the two grids.

In one example, as shown in fig. 20, it is required to calculate propagation attenuation of free space between two grids, where a point a and a point b in the diagram are central points of the two grids, respectively, in the calculation process, a line connecting the central points of the two grids, that is, a line segment connecting the point a and the point b is obtained, and the line segment is shown as a dotted line in fig. 20, and then, according to a ratio of an area of a house to an actual area of the house in the first house type diagram, a length of the line segment in time space is obtained through conversion, where the length is a transmission distance d of a wireless signal between the two grids.

The total attenuation of the wireless signal can be represented by Los, and since the total attenuation of the wireless signal between two grids is the interval attenuation and the propagation attenuation of free space of the two grids, the total attenuation of the wireless signal between the two grids can be represented by:

Los＝Loss+PL。

wherein Los is the total attenuation of wireless signals between any two grids, Loss is the interval attenuation of the two grids, and PL is the propagation attenuation of free space corresponding to the two grids.

Step S27, the terminal device determines a deployable area of the master AP, where a set of grids occupied by the deployable area of the master AP is a first grid set.

The model of the master AP is the model of the AP proposed to be deployed this time determined in step S14, and the number of the master APs is 1. That is, when it is determined in the subsequent operation that only the main AP is recommended to be deployed, it indicates that only one AP needs to be deployed in the house.

In the implementation of the present application, the area where the master AP can be deployed can be determined in various ways. In one possible manner, the determining, by the terminal device, a deployable area of the master AP includes:

the terminal equipment displays a main AP deployment interface;

and the terminal equipment responds to the seventh operation and determines that the position specified by the seventh operation is a deployable area of the main AP.

Wherein the seventh operation is used to specify a deployable location of the main AP, in which case the terminal device determines a deployable area of the main AP according to the received seventh operation. For example, the deployment personnel may specify that the master AP be deployed in room 4, and the location of room 4 is the area where the master AP may be deployed.

Or, in another mode, the terminal device displays a master AP deployment interface; and the terminal equipment receives an eighth operation aiming at the main AP deployment interface, and determines a deployable area of the main AP according to the eighth operation.

In this case, the terminal device may determine a room with the largest area among the rooms provided with the network cable interfaces, and then use the room with the largest area as a region where the main AP may be deployed. Alternatively, the room with connectivity among the respective rooms provided with the network cable interface is determined, and then the room with the best connectivity is taken as the deployable area of the master AP.

Alternatively, the eighth operation is to instruct selection of an area where the master AP is deployable by the terminal device. In this case, the terminal device may determine the area where the master AP is deployable after receiving the eighth operation in various ways. In the first way, the terminal device may determine connectivity of each room according to the first floor plan, and use the room with the best connectivity as a deployable area of the master AP. For example, in the first floor plan shown in fig. 16, where room 4 is connected to all other rooms, and connectivity is the best, the terminal device may determine that room 4 is the region where the master AP may be deployed. In this manner, since the master AP is deployed in the room with the best connectivity, the average attenuation of the wireless signal from the master AP to each room is small.

In a second way, a region where the center position of the first floor plan is located is determined, and if the region has an intersection with a room with the best connectivity, the terminal device takes the intersection as a region where the main AP can be deployed. In addition, if there is no intersection between the area and the room with the best connectivity, the terminal device determines a partial area of the center position of the room with the best connectivity as an area where the main AP can be deployed. This approach reduces the area where the master AP can be deployed compared to the first approach, thereby enabling a more accurate determination of the appropriate location to deploy the master AP.

Of course, the terminal device may also determine the deployable area of the main AP in other manners, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

To clarify the method of determining the area where a master AP may be deployed, the following examples are disclosed.

In the embodiment of the present application, after determining the AP type proposed to be deployed at this time, the terminal device may jump to an interface that determines an area where the master AP may be deployed. In an example, referring to an interface example diagram shown in fig. 21, in this example, when displaying an interface shown in fig. 21 (a), the terminal device determines an AP type suggested to be deployed this time by an AP type in an AP list clicked by a deployment person, in this case, after receiving a click operation for a certain AP type, the terminal device may jump to an interface shown in fig. 21 (b), and in the interface shown in fig. (b), options such as "specify a main AP position", "input network cable interface position", and "suggestion provision" are displayed.

When the deployable location of the master AP is determined by way of the deployment personnel designation, the deployment personnel may select the option "designate master AP location". After receiving the selection operation of the deployment personnel, the terminal device jumps to an interface shown in a diagram (c) in fig. 21, displays the first user type diagram in the interface, and prompts the deployment personnel to select the main AP position. The deployment personnel may then click on a location in the first user-type diagram. And after receiving the clicking operation, the terminal equipment takes the position clicked by the clicking operation as a deployable area of the main AP.

In this case, the seventh operation includes an operation of the deployment person selecting an option of "specify a main AP location", and a click operation on a location in the first floor plan.

In another example, the terminal device determines the deployable area of the master AP according to the network cable interface position input by the deployment person, in this case, when the interface shown in diagram (a) in fig. 21 is displayed, the deployment person may select the option of "inputting the network cable interface position", and then the terminal device may jump to the interface shown in diagram (d) in fig. 21, and in the interface shown in diagram (d), the deployment person may click on a certain position in the first user type diagram. After receiving the click operation, the terminal device takes the click position of the click operation as a network cable interface position, and then determines a deployable area of the main AP according to the network cable interface position. For example, the terminal device may use, as an area where the main AP can be deployed, a room with the largest area among the rooms where the network cable interface is provided.

In this case, the eighth operation includes an operation of the deployment person selecting an option of "enter network cable interface location", and a click operation performed on a location in the first user type diagram.

In another example, the deployment person may select the option "suggest offers" while displaying the interface shown in fig. 21 (a). In this case, the terminal device may determine connectivity of each room according to the first floor plan, and use the room with the best connectivity as a deployable area of the master AP. Or the terminal device determines an area where the center position of the first floor plan is located, and if the area has an intersection with a room with the best connectivity, the terminal device takes the intersection as an area where the main AP can be deployed. In addition, if there is no intersection between the area and the room with the best connectivity, the terminal device determines a partial area of the center position of the room with the best connectivity as an area where the main AP can be deployed.

In this case, the eighth operation includes an operation in which the deployment person selects the option of "suggest offer".

Step S28, the terminal device determines a second mesh set formed by the meshes in the first mesh set according to the total attenuation of the wireless signals between the meshes, and when the master AP is deployed in any one mesh in the second mesh set, the deployment requirement is met.

That is, in this step, the terminal device determines whether the deployment requirement is satisfied when the master AP is deployed in each mesh of the first mesh set respectively, according to the total attenuation of the wireless signals between the meshes, and acquires the second mesh set formed by the meshes satisfying the deployment requirement,

and if the central point of a certain grid is positioned in the deployable area of the main AP, determining that the grid is the grid occupied by the deployable area of the main AP. Or if most of the area of a certain grid is located in the deployable area of the main AP, determining that the grid is the grid occupied by the deployable area of the main AP. In addition, after determining the grids occupied by the deployable area of the master AP, a grid set formed by the grids occupied by the deployable area of the master AP may be referred to as a first grid set M.

In this step, after determining each grid occupied by the deployable area of the main AP, each grid in the selection set M is traversed, and it is determined whether the deployment requirement is met when the main AP is deployed in one of the grids, respectively. In addition, the master AP may be denoted as AP₁The grid deploying the master AP may be denoted as M_i。

In addition, whether the deployment requirement is met or not when the main AP is deployed on a certain grid can be determined by judging whether the conditions such as seamless coverage requirement and/or minimum rate requirement are met or not.

When the intensity of the wireless signals received by each grid in the house is greater than a first threshold value, the condition of seamless coverage can be determined to be met; the condition of meeting the minimum rate requirement may be determined when the wireless signal strength received by each grid in the house is greater than a second threshold. The first threshold is typically less than the second threshold.

When only one AP1 is deployed in the house, the signal strength of the AP1 received by each mesh is the wireless signal strength received by the mesh. If the grid in which the AP1 is located is set as the target grid, the signal strength of the AP1 received by the grid a is usually the difference between the strength of the wireless signal transmitted by the AP1 and the total attenuation of the wireless signal between the target grid and the grid a.

In addition, when two or more APs are deployed in the house, the maximum value of the signal strength of the two or more APs received by each grid is the wireless signal strength received by the grid. For example, when the wireless signal strength finally received by the grid a is calculated and the AP1 and the AP2 are deployed in a house, the difference between the strength of the wireless signal transmitted by the AP1 and the total attenuation of the wireless signal between the grid in which the AP1 is located and the grid a is first calculated, the difference is taken as the first signal strength, the difference between the strength of the wireless signal transmitted by the AP2 and the total attenuation of the wireless signal between the grid in which the AP2 is located and the grid a is calculated, the difference is taken as the second signal strength, then the first signal strength and the second signal strength are compared, and the larger value of the first signal strength and the second signal strength is selected as the wireless signal strength finally received by the grid a.

In the embodiment of the present application, the strength of the wireless signal transmitted by the master AP may be determined according to the AP type determined in step S14 and the relationship between the various AP types and the strength of the wireless signal transmitted by the AP, and then, the signal strength of the wireless signal transmitted by the master AP in each of other grids in the house is determined according to the wireless signal attenuation between the grid where the master AP is located and the other grids. That is to say, the difference between the intensity of the wireless signal transmitted by the main AP and the attenuation of the wireless signal between the grid where the main AP is located and other grids is respectively used as the intensity of the wireless signal finally received by each grid in the house, and then, whether the deployment requirement is met is judged according to the comparison result between the intensity of the wireless signal finally received by each grid and the first threshold and the second threshold.

In addition, specific values of the first threshold and the second threshold may be preset by the terminal device, and in this case, the terminal device determines the specific values of the first threshold and the second threshold according to the preset setting, and accordingly whether each grid meets the deployment requirement or not. Further, the specific values of the first threshold and the second threshold can be adjusted during the deployment process according to actual requirements. In this case, the terminal device may display a level of demand for wireless signal strength, and adjust the specific values of the first threshold and the second threshold accordingly according to the received selection operation for the level of demand. For example, the terminal device may preset three demand levels for the wireless signal strength, and a correspondence relationship between each demand level and the first threshold and the second threshold, where the higher the demand level demands the wireless signal strength, the higher the first threshold and the second threshold are.

In one example, when the terminal device supports adjustment of specific values of the first threshold and the second threshold, after determining the deployable area of the master AP, the deployment personnel may perform touch operation on the terminal device to select a level of demand for wireless signal strength. For example, the terminal device may set three option levels for the requirement of the wireless signal strength, which are high signal strength, medium signal strength and low signal strength, respectively, where the specific values of the first threshold and the second threshold corresponding to the high signal strength are the highest, and the specific values of the first threshold and the second threshold corresponding to the low signal strength are the lowest. According to the touch operation of the deployment personnel, when the terminal equipment determines that the specific numerical values of the first threshold and the second threshold need to be adjusted, the three options are displayed, and after the selection operation of one of the requirement options is received, the terminal equipment adjusts the specific numerical values of the first threshold and the second threshold according to the corresponding relation between the option and the first threshold and the second threshold.

Step S29, the terminal device determines the number of the recommended APs to be deployed and the locations of the recommended APs to be deployed according to the first grid set and the second grid set.

And step S30, the terminal device displays the AP deployment interface according to the quantity of the AP recommended to be deployed and the position of the AP recommended to be deployed.

This step generally comprises the following operations: when the second grid set is not empty, the terminal device determines that the grid with the largest deployment index in the second grid set is the grid for deploying the main AP, and determines that the deployment of the sub-AP is not recommended; when the second grid set is empty, the terminal device determines the position where the main AP is deployed and determines the position and the number of deployed sub-APs, wherein the number of the main APs is 1.

That is to say, when the second grid set is not empty, the AP deployment scheme determined by the terminal device is to deploy one AP in the grid with the largest deployment index in the second grid set. When the second grid set is empty, if only one AP is deployed, the requirement of the user cannot be met, and the positions and the number of deployed sub-APs and the position of deployed main AP need to be further determined.

The deployment index may be determined by a Capacity (i.e., Capacity) index and/or an overlay (i.e., Coverage) index, where the Capacity index may be denoted as Cap and the overlay index may be denoted as Cov.

The capacity index refers to an average value of the received wireless signal strengths of the respective grids in the first floor plan. Specifically, the capacity index may be determined by the following formula:

wherein, Cap_a,bCapacity index, SNR, representing a grid of coordinates (a, b)_a,bRepresenting the maximum signal to noise ratio (SNR) obtained by the grid with coordinates (a, b), which is used to reflect the final received wireless signal strength of the grid with coordinates (a, b).

The coverage index refers to an average value of the received wireless signal strength of the target grid, wherein the target grid is the n% grid with the minimum finally received wireless signal strength in each grid of the first subscriber graph. n is a preset positive number, and generally n may be set to 5, and of course, n may also be set to other positive numbers, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application. For example, if the number of each mesh of the first subscriber pattern is 100 and n is 5, the target mesh is 5 meshes with the minimum final received wireless signal strength among the meshes of the first subscriber pattern.

In this case, when determining the coverage index, first determining the wireless signal strength received by each grid, then selecting the grid with the minimum wireless signal strength n%, taking the grid with the minimum wireless signal strength n% as the target grid, and then calculating the average value of the wireless signal strength received by the target grid, where the average value is the coverage index.

Specifically, the coverage indicator may be determined by the following formula:

Cov_a,b＝E(quantile(log(1+SNR_a,b) 0.0 n)). In this equation, min (SNR)_a,b)≥thr。

Wherein, Cov_a,bAnd the coverage index of the grid with coordinates (a, b) is represented, and n is a preset positive integer.

min(SNR_a,b)≥thr represents that the grid meets the deployment requirement, wherein when the deployment requirement is seamless coverage, thr is the first threshold; when the deployment requirement is the minimum rate requirement, thr is the second threshold; when the deployment requirement is seamless coverage and minimum rate requirement, thr is the larger of the first threshold and the second threshold.

In the embodiment of the present application, the deployment indicator may be a capacity indicator or a coverage indicator, or the deployment indicator may be determined by both the capacity indicator and the coverage indicator. When the deployment indicator is determined by both the capacity indicator and the coverage indicator, the deployment indicator may be denoted as KPI, and the deployment indicator KPI may be determined by the following formula:

KPI＝w₁Cap+w₂Cov。

in the above formula, w₁And w₂The terminal device may preset the two weighted values, and adjust the two weighted values according to actual requirements in the subsequent application process. For example, when the capacity index is emphasized, w can be increased₁When the coverage index is more important, the W can be increased₂。

In addition, when the second grid set is empty, it indicates that only one main AP cannot meet the user requirement, in this case, in the deployment scheme determined by the terminal device, the number of APs proposed to be deployed this time is the sum of the number of main APs and the number of sub-APs, and the positions of the APs proposed to be deployed this time are the positions of the main APs and the sub-APs proposed to be deployed respectively.

Specifically, when the second grid set is empty, one grid is selected from the first grid set in a traversal manner as the deployment location of the main AP, and the main AP may be recorded as an AP₁The grid deploying the master AP may be denoted as M_i。

Then, it is determined that the set of grids for the child AP may be deployed when the master AP is deployed in a grid selected from the first set of grids traversal, in accordance with the following conditions:

(Condition 1) in order to prevent the AP from being deployed too densely, causing interference between APs and waste in quantity, the distance between each sub-AP and the main AP cannot be smaller than D_minI.e. the minimum distance between each sub-AP and the main AP is D_min；

(Condition 2) in order to avoid that the wireless signals transmitted by the APs cannot realize seamless coverage due to attenuation, the overlapping coverage area of the wireless signals is ensured, and the distance between each sub-AP and the main AP cannot be larger than D_maxI.e. the maximum distance between each sub-AP and the main AP is D_max。

A third grid set N of deployable grids for the child AP that meets the above conditions is determined.

When deploying the grid of the main AP is marked as M_iIn time, the deployable grid of the first sub-AP is recorded as N_i,jWherein i and j are natural numbers. Traversing the set M and the set N, finding out the set of all deployable grids of the main AP and the first sub-AP, and recording the set as O_iWherein O is_i＝{N_i,j|M_i}。

Is determined in the set O_iIn (2), the deployable grid of the first sub-AP satisfying the deployment requirement and the deployable grid of the main AP simultaneously form a fourth grid set P₁. The deployment requirement may be determined by seamless coverage and/or minimum rate requirement, which may specifically refer to the operation of step S15, and is not described herein again.

When the fourth grid set P₁Non-space-time from a fourth set of grids P₁M with maximum medium search deployment index_iAnd N_i,jIn which M is_iI.e. the grid deploying the main AP, N_i,jIn order to deploy the mesh of the first sub-AP, in this case, two APs, i.e., the main AP and the first sub-AP, are deployed, so that the actual requirement can be met.

When the fourth grid set P₁When the AP is empty, it indicates that only two APs, i.e., the main AP and the first sub-AP, are deployed, and the actual requirement cannot be met, that is, it is recommended to deploy two or more sub-APs. In this case, the set of regions where the child AP can be deployed is re-determined according to the following conditions:
