Description

Sharing use method and system of electronic equipment

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of Internet of things, in particular to a sharing use method and system of electronic equipment.

Background

IoT (Internet of Things) equipment is widely applied to social production and life, and various sensors, controllers, door locks and the like bring great convenience to life and work of users. In a household and business scene, a user shares a device with the use right to other people, and the sharing is a very common scene, for example, scenes that a certain IoT device needs to be used together can occur among family members, between the upper and lower levels of a company, among members in an organization team, and the like.

At present, manufacturers and service integrators of IoT devices provide remote "sharing" functions, which mostly depend on the ability of the IoT devices to directly connect to the wide area internet; when a user shares the user with the user, the server issues the operation authority to the IoT equipment or the IoT equipment gateway through the wide area internet, and then the IoT equipment processing module or the gateway records a new authority person locally; so that other clients receiving the "share" invitation can use the device. The method needs the equipment with networking capability, such as laying a gateway, integrating a 4G module and a WiFi module, and the equipment purchasing and implementing cost is high.

In the related art, if one IoT device itself cannot be connected to the wide area internet or there is no "gateway" connected to the wide area internet, the "sharing" function is degraded to send an operation password (a long-term password or a temporary password) to the sharer, and then the sharer inputs the operation password through an input device or medium associated with the IoT device. This kind of mode operation is comparatively loaded down with trivial details, and has security risks such as password reveal, is falsely used.

In addition, some 'sharing' functions of existing software and hardware depend on the premise that both sides are users of the platform, and one account is allowed to access resources of the other account. In practice, more and more scenes are a temporary authorization relationship and even a temporary use requirement, even the situation that the other party is uncertain of which specific person, such as authorization to express chicks, takeout personnel, network car booking drivers and the like, the other party cannot know the specific person in advance, and the other party cannot be required to register an account on a specific platform in advance, so that the scheme that sharing can be completed only by registering the account in advance is not applicable.

In summary, the following problems exist in the prior art:

(1) the equipment hardware specification requirement is higher depending on the capacity of the IoT equipment for connecting the wide area internet, so that the purchase cost and the failure rate are both improved;

(2) networking gateways need to be arranged on part of IoT equipment, namely, the field wiring and other weak current construction cost and risks are increased;

(3) the potential safety hazards of password leakage, illegal use and the like exist by depending on the transmission of the password or the secret key;

(4) the sharing parties need to determine the identities of each other in advance and complete platform account registration, and application scenarios are limited.

It should be understood that, although the steps in the flowchart of fig. 2 are shown in order as indicated by the arrows, the steps are not necessarily performed in order as indicated by the arrows. The steps are not performed in the exact order shown and described, and may be performed in other orders, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Moreover, at least a portion of the steps in fig. 2 may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages that are not necessarily performed at the same time, but may be performed at different times, and the order of performance of the sub-steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but may be performed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least a portion of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.

The following describes the scheme of the present application in an expanded manner with reference to a specific application scenario.

The application provides a sharing and using method of IoT equipment without passwords, gateways and internet access, and the sharing and using method is composed of networked client equipment, a client application program, IoT equipment capable of carrying out near field communication with the client equipment and a remote server. Wherein the client device is generally a smartphone in which an APP or a wechat applet can be installed.

Step one, preparation.

Before the IoT equipment is used by a user, the server stores digital information of each IoT equipment, such as a model, a connection method, a serial number, a secret key of a communication encryption or authentication link and the like.

And step two, initiating sharing.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

the first client sends invitation information to the second client.

In some embodiments, the sharing permission information includes an invitation instruction; accordingly, the first client generates invitation information according to the invitation instruction.

The user (hereinafter referred to as a "master user") has an IoT device operation right, and provides identification information identification of other people (hereinafter referred to as "secondary users") who wish to invite authorization for common use, such as a real mobile phone number, a virtual mobile phone number, a job number and the like, through a client application program to initiate sharing. The client side collects the shared necessary information and then sends the information to the remote server; the remote server records information such as main user information, auxiliary user information, shared equipment, sharing time interval and the like.

The necessary information required for sharing at least comprises a primary user identity identifier, secondary user identity information and a shared IoT equipment identifier; if the security check needs to be enhanced, at least one other verification mode of the secondary user can be supplemented, such as a real name or an identity card number, or a secret language or a password agreed by both parties.

And step three, the secondary user declares the identity.

In some embodiments, the sending, by the second client, the authentication information to the server includes:

the second client acquires the input secondary user identity information;

In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

The secondary user receives sharing information sent by the primary user; the sharing information can be short messages, WeChat applet sharing, system notifications, an operation page of a client application program, an application program entry, or a secondary user notified by a primary user, and the like; and the secondary user opens the client small program or APP through code scanning, connection clicking and other modes, and enters an operation interface for sharing.

The client can automatically acquire the current mobile phone number of the secondary user or manually input other appointed identity information identifiers by the secondary user through a universal mature technical means to declare the identity of the secondary user; if the enhanced security verification is required in the second step, the client should simultaneously prompt and collect additional verification data, such as real names and the like.

Optionally, the program may verify the authenticity of the information input by the secondary user at this step, such as adding a short message verification code, certificate identification, identity card verification, and the like.

And after receiving the identity declaration of the secondary user (and completing 'security enhancement verification' and 'authenticity verification'), the client program sends the identity declaration to the server.

And step four, verifying the authorization relationship.

And after receiving the identity information declared by the secondary user, the server side inquires the shared information stored in the second step for comparison, finds the device information and the shared time period invited to be shared by the secondary user, encrypts the device information and the shared time period and sends the encrypted device information to the secondary user client side application program, wherein the information at least comprises a sharing initiator, a shared device name, a device serial number, a communication connection mode, a communication secret key and the like.

And step five, sharing the using equipment.

The secondary user client application program receives the information, organizes and displays the information in the UI as a device list which can be selected and operated by the current secondary user. The auxiliary user selects the equipment to be used from the list, and the client application program calls the corresponding software and hardware functional components according to the equipment serial number, the connection mode (such as Bluetooth, NFC and the like), the communication secret key and the like to initiate the control connection.

In some embodiments, the shared information further includes the following information: a connection mode;

accordingly, the method further comprises:

Since the IoT device targeted by the present invention is not connected to the internet, the secondary user should arrive at the scene to operate the device in close proximity.

And step six, finishing.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

And after the secondary user finishes using, closing the application program of the handheld terminal. The application program should automatically clear the sharing device list before closing, and when the application program is opened next time, the secondary user is required to acquire the identity claim again and initiates a request to the background server again, so that the secondary user is prevented from initiating an instruction for operating the device through the cached list after the effective sharing time period is exceeded or the sharing is cancelled.

And seventhly, canceling and failing.

The invited sharing use of the secondary user automatically fails after the invited period is over; the master user can also revoke a share at any time, and even if the secondary user provides a valid identity declaration after revocation, the revoked share information still cannot be returned in the step four.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

To sum up, the technical scheme of this application has following beneficial effect:

(1) the master user has high speed for initiating sharing and high success rate, theoretically, the speed is approximately equal to 4G or Wifi network transmission time, and the success rate can reach 100%;

(2) because the authority sharing information does not need to be issued to the equipment, the equipment is accidentally disconnected from the network and the power supply does not influence the sharing initiation;

(3) the cost of sharing and using the IoT equipment by the service provider is reduced, namely, a network environment suitable for an IoT equipment gateway is not required to be built in a service site provided with the IoT equipment, the IoT equipment with the 4G, WiFi function is not required to be purchased, and only equipment with low-power near-field communication capability (such as Bluetooth, NFC and the like) is adopted;

(4) the 'revocation sharing' is more reliable, namely, assuming that the network connection of the service site is interrupted, the server in other sharing methods cannot issue a revocation instruction to the equipment, so that the 'revocation sharing' cannot be realized. The invention does not have the condition;

(5) the sharing use flow does not depend on any password which needs to be manually set, stored and input by a user, and the conditions of password leakage, equipment falsifying and the like can be avoided;

(6) the invention does not depend on an authorizer to know the specific identity of the invited party in advance, can authorize approximate objects such as couriers, takeaway guys, net car drivers and the like, does not need the invited party to register an account in advance, has higher flexibility and greatly expands the use scene.
