Fig. 1 illustrates an exemplary system architecture to which some embodiments of the device management method or apparatus of the present application may be applied.
For example, as shown in fig. 1, the system architecture may include a first control device 100, a sub-device 1, 2 … N, a second control device 110, and a server 120 connected via a network. The network may include various connection types, such as wired, wireless communication links, or fiber optic cables, to name a few. The first control device 100, the child devices 1, 2 … N, the second control device 110, and the server 120 may interact with each other via the network, such as sending instructions, receiving instructions, transmitting data information, and so on.
The first control apparatus 100 and the second control apparatus 110 may be any type of hardware apparatus having a control function, and may be, for example, a computer, an intelligent mobile terminal, a gateway, or the like, in which a control program is installed.
The child devices 1 and 2 … N may be hardware or software. When the electronic devices 1 and 2 … N are hardware, they may be various electronic devices, including but not limited to smart phones, tablet computers, wearable devices, car-mounted devices, Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) devices, ultra-mobile personal computers (UMPC), netbooks, Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), electronic book readers, MP3(Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III) players, MP4(Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV) players, laptop portable computers, desktop computers, smart meters, smart water meters, smart cat eyes, gateways, and other electronic devices. When the child device 1, 2 … N is software, it can be installed in the electronic devices listed above. It may be implemented as multiple pieces of software or software modules (e.g., to provide distributed services) or as a single piece of software or software module. The embodiment of the present application does not set any limit to the specific type of the electronic device.
The server 120 may be a server that provides various services, such as a background server that provides support for the first control device 100 and the second control device 110. The background server may, in response to receiving an information acquisition request sent by the first control device 100 or the second control device 110, analyze the request, and perform other processing to obtain a processing result (for example, information to be pushed), and return the processing result. The background server may also, for example, respond to receiving a device replacement request instructing to replace the first control device 100 with the second control device 110, and process the device replacement request accordingly.
It is to be noted that, when the first control apparatus 100 is a failure apparatus, the above system architecture may not include the first control apparatus 100.
The server may be hardware or software. When the server is hardware, it may be implemented as a distributed server cluster formed by multiple servers, or may be implemented as a single server. When the server is software, it may be implemented as multiple pieces of software or software modules (e.g., to provide distributed services), or as a single piece of software or software module. And is not particularly limited herein.
It should be noted that the device management method provided in the embodiment of the present application is generally executed by the server 120 or the second control device 110, and accordingly, the device management apparatus is generally disposed in the server 120 or the second control device 110.
It should be understood that the number of first control devices, second control devices, sub-devices, servers in fig. 1 is merely illustrative. There may be any number of first control devices, second control devices, sub-devices, and servers, as desired for implementation.
Based on the system architecture shown in fig. 1, it can be seen that the first control device 100 has a connection relationship with the sub-devices 1 to N, and by using the device management method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first control device 100 can be replaced by the second control device 110, that is, the second control device 110 is connected with the sub-devices 1 to N, and the connection relationship may be the same as the connection relationship between the first control device 100 and the sub-devices 1 to N.
It should be noted that, the second control device 110 is preferably a control device having the same function as that of the first control device 100, or the second control device 110 can fully implement the function of the first control device 100, so as to ensure that the function of the first control device 100 in the system architecture is not lost after the first control device 100 is replaced with the second control device 110.
Taking the server 120 shown in fig. 1 as an execution subject as an example, fig. 2 shows a flowchart of an embodiment of the device management method provided by the present application, and referring to fig. 2, the device management method provided by the present application includes:
s201, receiving a device replacement request for indicating replacement of the first control device with the second control device.
The first control device is associated with at least one sub-device.
For example, in a practical management scenario corresponding to the system architecture shown in fig. 1, when the first control device 100 needs to be replaced by the second control device 110, a manager needs to perform networking configuration on the second control device 110 so as to enable the second control device 110 to establish a communication connection with the server 120. Then, the administrator needs to log in the background management platform, and send a corresponding device replacement request to the server 120 by selecting the first control device 100 and the second control device 110 and performing the device replacement triggering operation.
In the present embodiment, the device replacement request refers to a request for instructing replacement of the first control device 100 shown in fig. 1 with the second control device 110. The first control device 100 is a control device that is associated with at least one sub-device, the sub-device may be any type of electronic device with any function, and the association between the first control device 100 and the electronic device may be any connection form such as a hard-wired connection, a wireless connection, and a functional connection. Accordingly, an executing agent (e.g., the server 120 shown in fig. 1) of the device management method may receive a device replacement request issued by an administrator by triggering a device replacement operation on the background management platform.
For example, in a home intelligent network environment, a home gateway, such as a router, is connected to an electronic device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer, and an intelligent appliance, in which case the router corresponds to the first control device, and each electronic device connected to the router corresponds to the sub-device. The home gateway, the electronic equipment and the home network management system form a home intelligent network together. If a user wants to replace an existing router with a new router, the device management method according to the embodiment of the present application may be configured to use the existing router as the first control device, use the new router as the second control device, and access the new router to the server of the home network management system. On this basis, the user may log in to the home network management system, in which a replacement operation of replacing the first control device (existing router) with the second control device (new router) is triggered, the triggering of which sends a device replacement request to the system server. Accordingly, the system server receives a device replacement request for replacing the first control device (existing router) with the second control device (new router).
S202, determining whether the first equipment relation information is stored in the preset storage position.
In this embodiment, the first device relationship information is used to represent a connection relationship between the first control device and the at least one sub device.
In theory, the content of the related information that can represent the first control device and the sub-device can be used as the connection relationship between the first control device and the sub-device.
For example, the preset storage location may be a storage location dedicated to storing the device relationship information and preset locally (for example, a hard disk, a memory, or the like) of the execution subject, or may be a storage location dedicated to storing the device relationship information and preset in a data storage device outside the execution subject, for example, a database server. When the preset storage position is a storage position in a data storage device outside the execution main body, a data channel is pre-established between the data storage device and the execution main body, so that the execution main body can read, request and the like data stored in the data storage device.
In this embodiment, the execution main body may determine whether the first device relationship information is stored in a preset storage location by means of data query. For example, the executing entity queries an identifier of the first device relationship information at the preset storage location, and when the identifier of the first device relationship information is queried, it may be determined that the first device relationship information is stored at the preset storage location; if the identifier of the first device relationship information is not queried in the preset storage location, it may be determined that the first device relationship information is not stored in the preset storage location. The identifier of the first device relationship information may be a name, a data type, and the like of the first device relationship information.
Alternatively, the execution main body may determine whether the first device relationship information is stored in the preset storage location by querying a mapping table of data stored in the preset storage location. Wherein, the mapping table records the related information of the data stored in the preset storage position.
For example, when a server of a network management system of a home intelligent network receives a device replacement instruction, it is inquired from a preset storage location of its own data storage area whether first device relationship information describing a connection relationship between a first control device (existing router) and each electronic device is stored.
S203, in response to determining that the preset storage location stores the first device relationship information, sending the first device relationship information to the second control device, so that the second control device establishes a network with a sub device of the at least one sub device according to the first device relationship information.
In this embodiment, when the execution main body determines that the first device relationship information is stored in the preset storage location, the execution main body reads the first device relationship information from the preset storage location and sends the first device relationship information to the second control device.
The second control device described above is a control device that can take over the first control device to realize the function of the first control device. When the second control device receives the first device relationship information sent by the execution main body, the second control device establishes connection with the sub-device in the at least one sub-device according to the connection relationship between the first control device and the at least one sub-device described in the first device relationship information, and thereby a network including the second control device and the sub-device in the at least one sub-device is established.
At this time, for example, each of the sub-devices in the system architecture shown in fig. 1 establishes a connection with the second control device, thereby forming a system architecture as shown in fig. 3, in which the connection relationships between the sub-devices 1 to N and the second control device are the same as the connection relationships between the sub-devices 1 to N and the first control device shown in fig. 1.
For example, when the network management system server in the home intelligent network determines that the first device relationship information is stored in the preset storage location, the first device relationship information is read and sent to the second control device, that is, to the new router. And the new router determines the connection relationship between the original router and each electronic device from the received first device relationship information, and establishes connection between the new router and each electronic device according to the connection relationship. At this time, the connection relationship between the new router and each electronic device is the same as the connection relationship between the original router and each electronic device, and the new router can completely replace the original router to form a new home intelligent network.
In some optional implementation manners of this embodiment, after receiving a device replacement request for instructing to replace the first control device with the second control device, the execution main body further sends a device replacement instruction to the second control device. The device replacement command includes device information of the first control device, such as a device identifier, an IP address of the device, and the like. The device replacement instruction is for instructing the second control device to replace the first control device. After receiving the device replacement instruction, the second control device generates a first device relationship information acquisition request under the condition that the second control device verifies that the second control device can take over the first control device, and sends the request to the execution main body. The executing agent executes the step S202 after receiving the first device relationship information acquiring request.
Taking the above-mentioned home intelligent network as an example, after the network management system server receives the device replacement request indicating to replace the original router of the system with the router of the newly added system, the network management system server sends a device replacement instruction to the router of the newly added system. After receiving the device replacement instruction, the router newly added into the system judges whether the router can take over the original router according to original router information carried in the instruction, and if the router can take over the original router, the router newly added into the system sends a first device relation information acquisition request to a system server. After receiving the request, the system server confirms that the router newly added into the system can replace the original router.
It can be understood that the above processing procedure ensures that the second control device can replace the first control device, thereby ensuring the network function after the first control device is replaced by the second control device.
In some implementations of this embodiment, after receiving a device replacement request for instructing to replace the first control device with the second control device, the execution main body further sends a device binding instruction to the second control device, where the device binding instruction is used to instruct the second control device to establish a binding relationship between the second control device and the server.
The aforementioned establishment of the binding relationship between the second control device and the server may refer to establishment of a connection between the second control device and the server, and especially refers to establishment of a data channel between the second control device and the server. On the basis, the second control device and the server can perform data communication. Optionally, the second control device establishes a binding relationship with the server, which may also refer to the second control device establishing a correspondence relationship with the server, for example, device information (e.g., a device identifier) of the second control device is stored in correspondence with server information (e.g., a server identifier) of the server, and the second control device may determine which server to communicate with through the established correspondence relationship.
In the device management method provided in the foregoing embodiment of the present application, when a server receives a device replacement request for instructing to replace a first control device with a second control device, it is determined whether a preset storage location stores first device relationship information describing a connection relationship between the first control device and at least one sub device, and when it is determined that the first device relationship information is stored in the preset storage location, the first device relationship information is sent to the second control device, so that the second control device establishes a network with a sub device in the at least one sub device according to the first device relationship information. In the processing process, the second control device can automatically establish connection with at least one sub-device connected with the first control device by reading and forwarding the first device relationship information and the server. The process realizes automatic replacement of the control equipment, and the scheme is applied to replacement of the control equipment, so that the maintenance cost of the equipment, such as labor cost, time cost and the like, can be reduced.
With further reference to fig. 4, which shows a flowchart of another embodiment of the device management method proposed in the present application, an executing subject of the device management method may be a server (e.g., the server 120 shown in fig. 1), including the following steps:
s401, receiving a device replacement request for indicating replacement of the first control device with the second control device.
Wherein the first control device is associated with at least one sub-device;
s402, determining whether the first device relation information is stored in the preset storage position.
The first device relationship information is used for representing a connection relationship between the first control device and the at least one sub device;
and S403, in response to determining that the preset storage location stores the first device relationship information, sending the first device relationship information to the second control device, so that the second control device establishes a network with a sub device of the at least one sub device according to the first device relationship information.
In the present embodiment, the specific processing content of the execution subject executing steps S401 to S403 can be referred to steps S201 to S203 in the method embodiment shown in fig. 2, and will not be repeated here.
And S404, receiving second equipment relation information sent by the second control equipment.
The second device relationship information is used to characterize a connection relationship between the second control device and the associated sub-device.
In this embodiment, after the second control device establishes a network with a sub device of the at least one sub device according to the received first device relationship information, the second control device records a connection relationship between the sub devices associated with the second control device, so as to obtain second device relationship information. On this basis, the second control device also sends the second device relationship information to the execution main body.
Accordingly, the execution main body may receive second device relationship information sent by the second control device.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, after the second control device 110 completes the connection with the sub-devices 1 to N, the connection relationship between the second control device 110 and the sub-devices 1 to N is recorded, so as to obtain the second device relationship information. Then, the second control device 110 transmits the second device relationship information to the server 120. Accordingly, the server 120 may receive the second device relationship information transmitted by the second control device 110.
Taking the home intelligent network as an example, after the new router establishes connection with each electronic device according to the received connection relationship between the original router and each electronic device to obtain a new home intelligent network, the connection relationship between the new router and each electronic device is recorded to obtain device relationship information, and the device relationship information is sent to the network management system server.
S405, replacing the first device relationship information with the second device relationship information.
In this embodiment, after receiving the second device relationship information sent by the second control device, the execution main body replaces the first device relationship information stored in the preset storage location with the second device relationship information.
For example, when the preset storage location is a local storage location of the execution main body, the execution main body may directly update the storage data at the storage location, that is, delete the first device relationship information originally stored at the storage location, and store the second device relationship information to the storage location.
When the preset storage location is a storage location of a storage apparatus other than the execution main body, the execution main body may cause the storage apparatus to replace the first device relationship information at the preset storage location with the second device relationship information by sending the second device relationship information to the storage apparatus and sending an instruction to replace the first device relationship information with the second device relationship.
It is understood that, through the processing of the above steps S404 and S405, the update of the device relationship information stored in the preset storage location is implemented, so that the connection relationship information between the at least one sub device and the control device is always stored in the storage location, so as to manage the at least one sub device.
Further, the executing body may further execute step S406, receive new second device relationship information sent by the second control device, and update the existing second device relationship information in the preset storage location by using the new second device relationship information.
In this embodiment, the second control device further updates the second device relationship information, and sends the updated second device relationship information to the execution main body.
After the second control device establishes a connection with the at least one sub device to establish a network, the connection relationship between the sub device and the second control device may also change, for example, a new sub device may join the network to establish a connection with the second control device, or a sub device may be moved out of the network to disconnect from the second control device. At this time, the second control device updates the connection relationship between the sub-devices connected thereto, that is, updates the second device relationship information, and transmits the updated second device relationship information to the execution main body.
Correspondingly, after receiving new second device relationship information sent by the second control device, the execution main body updates the existing second device relationship information in the preset storage position by using the new second device relationship information. Here, the method for updating the existing second device relationship information in the preset storage location by using the new second device relationship information is similar to the replacement method described in step S405, and is not described herein again.
As can be seen from fig. 4, compared with the embodiment corresponding to fig. 2, the flow of the device management method in this embodiment highlights a process in which the execution main body receives the second device relationship information or the new second device relationship information sent by the second control device, and updates the original first device relationship information or the original second device relationship information at the preset storage location by using the received second device relationship information or the new second device relationship information. Based on the processing of the execution main body, the scheme described in this embodiment implements real-time storage and update of the connection relationship between the at least one sub device and the control device, and can ensure that when any new control device replaces the current control device, the execution main body can acquire the connection relationship information between each sub device and the control device from the preset storage location, thereby providing a data base for replacement of the control device and ensuring the realizability of automatic replacement of the control device.
With continued reference to fig. 5, shown is a flow chart of another embodiment of a device management method according to the present application. In the present embodiment, the device management method described above can be executed by the second control device 110 in the system architecture shown in fig. 1. As can be seen from fig. 5, the device management method includes:
s501, receiving first equipment relation information sent by a server.
The first device relationship information is used for representing a connection relationship between a first control device and at least one sub-device, and the first device relationship information is sent by the server in response to receiving a device replacement request for instructing to replace the first control device with the second control device and determining that a preset storage position stores the first device relationship information.
The specific contents and acquisition of the first device relationship information and the specific processing contents of the server are described in steps S201 to S203 in the corresponding embodiment of fig. 2, and are not repeated here.
In this embodiment, after the server acquires the first device relationship information, the server sends the first device relationship information to the execution main body, and the execution main body receives the first device relationship information.
S502, according to the first device relation information, a network is formed with the sub-devices in the at least one sub-device.
The first device relationship information describes a connection relationship between the first control device and the at least one sub device, and when the execution main body acquires the first device relationship information, the execution main body analyzes the first device relationship information to determine the connection relationship between the first control device and the at least one sub device, and then the execution main body establishes a connection with the sub device of the at least one sub device according to the determined connection relationship, so as to establish a network with the connected sub device.
For example, it is assumed that the first device relationship information describes that the first control device is connected to the first sub device via bluetooth and connected to the second sub device via WiFi. After the executing main body receives the first device relationship information, the executing main body analyzes the information, and determines that the first control device is connected with the first sub-device through bluetooth and the first control device is connected with the second sub-device through WiFi, so that the executing main body establishes connection with the first sub-device through bluetooth and establishes connection with the second sub-device through WiFi.
It can be understood that, after the execution main body establishes a connection group network with the sub device in the at least one sub device according to the first device relationship information, the network is updated from the network shown in fig. 1 to the network shown in fig. 3, at this time, the network structure of the new network is the same as the network structure of the original network, but the execution main body has replaced the first control device, that is, the replacement of the control device in the network is realized.
In some optional implementation manners of this embodiment, before receiving the first device relationship information sent by the server, the execution main body further receives a device replacement instruction sent by the server, where the device replacement instruction includes device information of the first control device. Then, the execution subject may send a first device relationship information acquisition request to the server according to the device replacement instruction. For the explanation of the implementation, reference may be made to the related description in the embodiment corresponding to fig. 2, and details are not repeated here.
It can be understood that the above processing procedure ensures that the execution main body can replace the first control device, thereby ensuring that the network function after the first control device is replaced by the execution main body.
In some implementations of this embodiment, before receiving the first device relationship information sent by the server, the execution main body further receives a device binding instruction sent by the server, and establishes a binding relationship with the server according to the device binding instruction.
As an example, the aforementioned second control device establishing a binding relationship with the server may refer to the second control device establishing a connection with the server, and in particular, establishing a data channel with the server. On the basis, the second control device and the server can perform data communication. Before the device replacement starts, the execution body may not establish a data channel with the server, and the execution body may not receive the data sent by the server. Based on the binding operation between the execution main body and the server, the execution main body can establish a data channel with the server so as to facilitate subsequent data transmission.
In some implementations of this embodiment, the establishing, by the execution main body, a network with a sub device of the at least one sub device according to the first device relationship information includes: and establishing network connection with the at least one sub-device according to the connection relationship between the first control device and the at least one sub-device recorded in the first device relationship information. For the explanation of the implementation, reference may be made to the related description in the embodiment corresponding to fig. 2, and details are not repeated here.
Referring to the above description of this embodiment, taking the home intelligent network as an example, when a new router added to the network by a user receives first device relationship information (the first device relationship information records connection relationships between the original router and each electronic device) sent by the system server, the new router analyzes the information to determine connection relationships between the original router and each electronic device, and then establishes network connections with each electronic device according to the connection relationships determined by the analysis. At this time, the connection relationship between the new router and each electronic device is the same as the connection relationship between the original router and each electronic device, that is, the original router in the home intelligent network is replaced by the new router, and the original structure of the network is maintained.
In the device management method provided by the foregoing embodiment of the present application, the execution main body may determine, by receiving the first device relationship information sent by the server, the connection relationship between the first control device and the at least one sub device recorded in the information, and according to the first device relationship information, the execution main body and the at least one sub device in the at least one sub device form a network. Based on the processing, the execution main body can accurately acquire the connection relation between the control equipment to be replaced and the sub-equipment, and can establish connection with the sub-equipment according to the connection relation so as to replace the control equipment to be replaced.
With further reference to fig. 6, a flow chart of yet another embodiment of the device management method proposed by the present application is shown. The execution subject of the device management method may be a second control device (e.g., the second control device 110 shown in fig. 1). In this embodiment, the device management method includes:
s601, receiving first device relation information sent by a server.
The first device relationship information is used for representing a connection relationship between a first control device and at least one sub-device, and the first device relationship information is sent by the server in response to receiving a device replacement request for instructing to replace the first control device with the second control device and determining that a preset storage position stores the first device relationship information.
S602, according to the first device relation information, a network is established with the sub-device in the at least one sub-device.
The specific processing contents of the above steps S601 and S602 can be referred to the processing contents of the steps S501 and S502 in the corresponding embodiment of fig. 5, and are not repeated here.
And S603, generating second equipment relation information and storing the second equipment relation information locally.
The second device relationship information is used to characterize a connection relationship between the second control device and the associated sub-device.
In this embodiment, after the executing entity establishes a network with a sub-device of the at least one sub-device according to the received first device relationship information, the executing entity records a connection relationship between the sub-devices associated with the executing entity, so as to obtain second device relationship information.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, after the second control device 110 completes the connection with the sub-devices 1 to N, the connection relationship between the second control device 110 and the sub-devices 1 to N is recorded, so as to obtain second device relationship information, and the second device relationship information is locally stored.
Taking the home intelligent network as an example, after the new router establishes connection with each electronic device according to the received connection relationship information between the original router and each electronic device to obtain a new home intelligent network, the connection relationship between the new router and each electronic device is recorded to obtain device relationship information.
And S604, sending the second device relation information to the server.
In this embodiment, after generating and locally storing the second device relationship information, the execution main body further sends the second device relationship information to the server, so that the server backs up and stores the second device relationship information.
In some optional implementation manners of this embodiment, after completing the connection with the sub device of the at least one sub device, the execution main body may further periodically determine whether a connection relationship with the sub device is changed or whether device information of the associated sub device is changed. Wherein, the connection relationship between the sub-devices is changed, and at least includes one or more of the following conditions: new sub-devices join the established network, sub-devices are moved out of the established network, etc.
The new sub-device joining the established network means that the new sub-device is connected with the execution main body, and the sub-device being moved out of the established network means that the sub-device originally connected with the execution main body is disconnected with the execution main body, and at this time, the sub-device does not belong to the network including the execution main body any more.
For example, the execution main body may determine whether a new sub-device is added or whether an originally connected sub-device is disconnected by verifying information of each sub-device connected thereto. Alternatively, the execution main body may record each time a new sub-device joins the network or each time a sub-device moves out of the network, so as to determine whether the connection relationship between the execution main body and the sub-device is changed.
The above-mentioned change of the device information of the child device may refer to a change of a child device identifier, an expansion or a change of a function of the child device, or the like.
When the execution main body determines that the connection relation between the execution main body and the sub-equipment is changed or the equipment information of the associated sub-equipment is changed, corresponding updating operation is carried out on the second equipment relation information stored locally according to the changed connection relation between the execution main body and the sub-equipment.
Taking the above-mentioned home intelligent network as an example, when the router finds that a mobile phone originally connected with the router is disconnected from the network, the router deletes the connection relationship information with the mobile phone recorded in the second device relationship information stored locally, thereby implementing the update of the second device relationship information stored locally.
Based on the processing procedure, the execution main body updates the locally stored device relation information, so that the accuracy of the locally stored device relation information of the execution main body is ensured.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the second device relationship information generated by the execution main body is stored in a first storage location local to the execution main body. For example, the first storage location is a storage area location corresponding to a set storage address range in the execution main body local storage area.
On this basis, the execution body further executes the following operations: responding to the current time reaching the set backup time, and determining whether a local second storage position stores a backup file which is consistent with the second equipment relation information content currently stored in the first storage position; and in response to determining that the backup file is not stored in the second storage location, backing up the second device relationship information currently stored in the first storage location to the second storage location.
The set backup time may be a period node time of a preset backup period. For example, if data backup is performed every hour, the backup time is the hour.
The second storage location is a storage location different from the first storage location in the storage area local to the execution main body, and the second storage location is used for performing backup storage on the data content in the first storage location.
When the execution main body determines that the current time reaches the set backup time, it is determined whether a backup file whose content is consistent with the content of the second device relationship information currently stored in the first storage location is stored in a local second storage location, that is, whether the content of the second device relationship information stored in the second storage location is consistent with the content of the second device relationship information currently stored in the first storage location is determined.
If the second storage position stores a backup file which is consistent with the content of the second device relation information currently stored in the first storage position, the second storage position indicates that the second device relation information currently stored in the first storage position is backed up to the second storage position. If the second storage location does not store the backup file with the content consistent with the content of the second device relationship information currently stored in the first storage location, it indicates that the second device relationship information currently stored in the first storage location is not backed up to the second storage location, and at this time, the execution main body backs up the second device relationship information currently stored in the first storage location to the second storage location.
In some implementations of the embodiment, the executing body may further send the second device relationship information currently stored in the first storage location to the server in response to determining that the backup file is not stored in the second storage location. Further, the executing body may send the second device relationship information currently stored in the first storage location to the server after backing up the second device relationship information currently stored in the first storage location to the second storage location.
It can be understood that, when the current time reaches the set backup time, the execution main body backs up the second device relationship information currently stored in the first storage location to the local second storage location, and simultaneously, sends the second device relationship information currently stored in the first storage location to the server, that is, backs up the second device relationship information to the server, so that double backup of the second device relationship information is realized, and storage of the second device relationship information is more secure.
As can be seen from fig. 6, compared with the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the flow of the device management method in this embodiment highlights the process that the execution main body records the connection relationship between the execution main body and the associated sub-device to generate the second device relationship information, and sends the second device relationship information to the server for backup storage. Based on the processing of the execution main body, the updating of the connection relationship between the sub-device and the control device is realized, and the updating is backed up to the server, so that any control device can conveniently acquire the connection relationship information through the server and replace the control device.

In the processing process, the second control device can automatically establish connection with at least one sub-device connected with the first control device by reading and forwarding the first device relationship information and the server. The process realizes automatic replacement of the control equipment, and the scheme is applied to replacement of the control equipment, so that the maintenance cost of the equipment, such as labor cost, time cost and the like, can be reduced.
