after the electronic home equipment is started, the operation of accessing the target network is executed;

in implementation, the electronic home equipment acquires configuration information of a network accessed in the last operation process; if the configuration information of the network is successfully acquired, the electronic home equipment directly accesses a target network according to the acquired network configuration information; and if the electronic home equipment does not acquire the network configuration information, the electronic home equipment needs to be distributed with a network.

It should be noted that the above manner of distributing the network to the electronic home devices is only an example of distributing the network to the electronic home devices in the embodiment of the present invention, and other schemes may also be adopted to distribute the network to the electronic home devices in the embodiment of the present invention.

After the electronic home equipment is accessed to the target network, a communication link can be established with the cloud server, and communication can be carried out between the electronic home equipment and the cloud server through the communication link.

In addition, after the electronic home device accesses the target network, monitoring on a specific port of the WiFi module may be started, where the specific port may be a port where the electronic home device establishes TCP connection with other devices.

After the terminal accesses a target network, a transmission connection can be established between the terminal and the electronic home equipment through the target network;

the transmission connection established between the terminal and the electronic home equipment can be a TCP connection.

The time for accessing the terminal to the target network of the embodiment of the invention can be that the terminal accesses the target network after being started; or according to user operation, when determining that the communication detection needs to be carried out on the electronic home equipment, the terminal accesses to a target network; the following are described separately:

1. the terminal accesses a target network after being started;

the terminal automatically accesses a target network after being started;

The address information of the WiFi module may be an IP address, and the transmission connection is established with the terminal through a specific port of the WiFi module of the electronic home device.

After the transmission connection is established, in the operation process of the electronic home equipment, if the electronic home equipment determines that a communication link between the electronic home equipment and the cloud server is in fault, the generated fault information is stored in a preset storage space;

the electronic home equipment sends fault information to the terminal through transmission connection; and the terminal carries out fault diagnosis on the communication link according to the fault information and determines the fault type of the communication link.

It should be noted that the fault information sent to the terminal by the electronic home equipment may be specific description information of the fault; for example, the fault information may be failure of the electronic home device to access the cloud server. Or the fault information sent by the electronic home equipment to the terminal may be a fault identifier, and after receiving the fault identifier, the terminal may determine specific description information of the fault occurring in the communication link between the electronic home equipment and the cloud server according to the binding relationship between the fault identifier and the fault information.

after establishing transmission connection with the electronic home equipment, the terminal sends a message for requesting to acquire fault information to the electronic home equipment; and after receiving the message, the electronic home equipment acquires the recorded fault information from the preset storage space and returns the fault information to the terminal.

In implementation, a user can determine that a communication link between the electronic home equipment and the cloud server fails in the process of using the electronic home equipment; for example, if the display interface of the electronic home device prompts that "the server cannot be accessed", the user may determine that the communication link between the electronic home device and the cloud server is faulty.

In addition, when the user triggers a start instruction for performing failure diagnosis on the communication link, the start instruction may be triggered by an application installed for performing communication detection. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the terminal is installed with a failure diagnosis application for performing failure diagnosis on the communication link; when the user starts to operate the fault diagnosis application, the interface of the fault diagnosis application shown in fig. 5 is displayed in the terminal display interface, and the user can trigger a start instruction for performing fault diagnosis on the communication link by clicking a network diagnosis option in the interface of the fault diagnosis application.

Or when the user triggers a starting instruction for fault diagnosis of the communication link, the starting instruction can be triggered by the control application matched with the electronic home equipment. For example, the control application may be a smart home platform application for controlling the electronic home devices, where a display interface of the smart home platform application may be as shown in fig. 6, and include various types of electronic home devices such as an air purifier, an intelligent washing machine, an intelligent refrigerator, an intelligent oven, an intelligent cat eye, a detection alarm, and the like. Assuming that the electronic home device is an intelligent oven, when a user determines that a communication link of the intelligent oven is required to perform fault diagnosis, the user selects an intelligent oven option in an application display interface of the intelligent home platform, and enters a display page for controlling the intelligent oven, as shown in fig. 7; the user can trigger a starting instruction for performing fault diagnosis on the communication link of the intelligent oven by clicking a 'network diagnosis' option in a display page corresponding to the intelligent oven.

And after receiving the fault information returned by the electronic home equipment, the terminal carries out fault diagnosis on the communication link through the control application matched with the electronic home equipment.

In an optional implementation manner, the terminal performs network connectivity detection on a target network;

if the terminal is successfully accessed to the cloud server, determining that the fault type of the communication link is abnormal, wherein the fault type is the network interface abnormality of a WiFi module of the electronic home equipment; otherwise, determining the fault type of the communication link as abnormal of the cloud server.

In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, an application layer, an application framework layer, an Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library, and a kernel layer from top to bottom.

The application layer may include a series of application packages.

As shown in fig. 12, the application package may include camera, gallery, calendar, phone call, map, navigation, WLAN, bluetooth, music, video, short message, etc. applications.

The application framework layer provides an Application Programming Interface (API) and a programming framework for the application program of the application layer. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions.

As shown in FIG. 12, the application framework layers may include a window manager, content provider, view system, phone manager, resource manager, notification manager, and the like.

The window manager is used for managing window programs. The window manager can obtain the size of the display screen, judge whether a status bar exists, lock the screen, intercept the screen and the like.

The content provider is used to store and retrieve data and make it accessible to applications. The data may include video, images, audio, calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, etc.

The view system includes visual controls such as controls to display text, controls to display pictures, and the like. The view system may be used to build applications. The display interface may be composed of one or more views. For example, the display interface including the short message notification icon may include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying pictures.

The phone manager is used to provide the communication function of the terminal 1100. Such as management of call status (including on, off, etc.).

The resource manager provides various resources for the application, such as localized strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, and the like.

The notification manager enables the application to display notification information in the status bar, can be used to convey notification-type messages, can disappear automatically after a short dwell, and does not require user interaction. Such as a notification manager used to inform download completion, message alerts, etc. The notification manager may also be a notification that appears in the form of a chart or scroll bar text at the top status bar of the system, such as a notification of a background running application, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, text information is prompted in the status bar, a prompt tone is given, the communication terminal vibrates, and an indicator light flashes.

The Android Runtime comprises a core library and a virtual machine. The Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and managing an Android system.

The core library comprises two parts: one part is a function which needs to be called by java language, and the other part is a core library of android.

The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. And executing java files of the application program layer and the application program framework layer into a binary file by the virtual machine. The virtual machine is used for performing the functions of object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, safety and exception management, garbage collection and the like.

The system library may include a plurality of functional modules. For example: surface managers (surface managers), Media Libraries (Media Libraries), three-dimensional graphics processing Libraries (e.g., OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engines (e.g., SGL), and the like.

The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provide fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications.

The media library supports a variety of commonly used audio, video format playback and recording, and still image files, among others. The media library may support a variety of audio-video encoding formats, such as MPEG4, h.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, and the like.

The three-dimensional graphic processing library is used for realizing three-dimensional graphic drawing, image rendering, synthesis, layer processing and the like.

The 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The inner core layer at least comprises a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver and a sensor driver.

The following illustrates the workflow of the terminal 1100 software and hardware in connection with capturing a photo scene.

When the touch screen 1131 receives a touch operation, a corresponding hardware interrupt is issued to the kernel layer. The kernel layer processes the touch operation into an original input event (including touch coordinates, a time stamp of the touch operation, and other information). The raw input events are stored at the kernel layer. And the application program framework layer acquires the original input event from the kernel layer and identifies the control corresponding to the input event. Taking the touch operation as a touch click operation, and taking a control corresponding to the click operation as a control of a camera application icon as an example, the camera application calls an interface of an application framework layer, starts the camera application, further starts a camera drive by calling a kernel layer, and captures a still image or a video through the camera 1140.
