Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the system is divided into four layers, which are an Application (Applications) layer (abbreviated as "Application layer"), an Application Framework (Application Framework) layer (abbreviated as "Framework layer"), an Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library layer (abbreviated as "system runtime library layer"), and a kernel layer from top to bottom.

In some embodiments, at least one application program runs in the application program layer, and the application programs may be windows (windows) programs carried by an operating system, system setting programs, clock programs or the like; or an application developed by a third party developer. In particular implementations, the application packages in the application layer are not limited to the above examples.

The framework layer provides an Application Programming Interface (API) and a programming framework for the application. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions. The application framework layer acts as a processing center that decides to let the applications in the application layer act.

The display equipment can have a touch interaction function, and a user can operate the host machine only by lightly touching the display with fingers, so that the operation of a keyboard, a mouse and a remote controller is avoided, and the human-computer interaction is more direct. Based on the display device, the display device can support a touch interaction function by adding the touch component. Generally, the touch-sensing device and the display may constitute a touch screen. A user can input different control instructions on the touch screen through touch operation. In order to implement the different touch actions, the touch control assembly may generate different electrical signals when a user inputs different touch actions, and send the generated electrical signals to the controller. The controller may perform feature extraction on the received electrical signals to determine a control function to be performed by the user based on the extracted features.

For example, when a user inputs a click touch action at any program icon position in the application program interface, the touch component senses the touch action and generates an electrical signal. After the controller receives the electric signal, the controller can firstly judge the duration of the level corresponding to the touch action in the electric signal, and when the duration is less than a preset time threshold, the controller recognizes that the user inputs a click touch instruction. The controller extracts the position features generated by the electrical signals to determine the touch position. And when the touch position is within the display range of the application icon, determining that the user inputs a click touch instruction at the position of the application icon. Accordingly, the click touch instruction is used for executing the function of running the corresponding application program in the current scene, so that the controller can start running the corresponding application program.

For another example, when the user inputs a sliding motion in the media asset display page, the touch component also sends the sensed electric signal to the controller. The controller firstly judges the duration of the signal corresponding to the touch action in the electric signal. When the determined duration is longer than the preset time threshold, the position change condition generated by the signal is judged, and obviously, for the interactive touch action, the generation position of the signal changes, so that the sliding touch instruction input by the user is determined. The controller judges the sliding direction of the sliding touch instruction according to the change condition of the position generated by the signal, and controls to turn pages of the display frame in the media asset display page so as to display more media asset options. Furthermore, the controller can extract the characteristics of the sliding speed, the sliding distance and the like of the sliding touch instruction, and perform the picture control of page turning according to the extracted characteristics so as to achieve the hand following effect and the like. Similarly, for touch instructions such as double click and long press, the controller can execute corresponding control functions according to preset interaction rules after extracting different features and determining the type of the touch instruction through feature judgment. In some embodiments, the touch component also supports multi-touch, such that a user can input touch actions on the touch screen through multiple fingers, e.g., multi-finger clicks, multi-finger long presses, multi-finger swipes, and the like.

In some embodiments, in order to facilitate control over multiple devices to be networked, it is generally necessary to configure a network for each device before the device is used, so that the device can access a wireless local area network used by a user. The network distribution refers to a process of configuring the equipment so that the equipment can access the network. For example, in a smart home scene, a plurality of devices to be distributed (such as lighting systems, curtains, air conditioners, security systems, smart televisions, etc.) are arranged in a scene of a user house. The user can adopt the equipment already distributed to distribute the network to other equipment to be distributed. For example, a user can enter a scanning detail page by clicking a rapid distribution network control on a main device touch screen, and then control a plurality of auxiliary devices to execute corresponding distribution network tasks on a plurality of devices to be distributed, so as to realize device distribution. It should be noted that the user may also input the selected operation on the fast distribution network control in other ways to trigger entering the scan detail page. Control is passed to the scan details page, for example, using a voice control function or a search function.

In some embodiments, multiple applications may be installed in the display device. FIG. 5 illustrates a user interface in a display in some embodiments. The user interface displays all applications installed by the device, including calendar, clock, settings, distribution network, photo applications and video applications. The user can select one of the applications and open it to implement the functionality of the application. It should be noted that, the installed application may be a system application or a third-party application.

In some embodiments, the user may click on a "fast join network" control in the user interface, triggering the display of a scan start page. FIG. 6 illustrates a schematic diagram of a scan start page of some embodiments. The method specifically comprises the step that a user selects and clicks a corresponding scanning starting page displayed after a rapid distribution network control is selected and clicked on a user interface. As shown in fig. 6, the scan start page includes a distribution network identifier 610, a distribution network prompt control 620, and a scan control 630. The distribution network identifier 610 is used to prompt the user that the user has currently entered the fast distribution network mode. The distribution network prompting control 620 is used for prompting a user to determine whether the equipment to be distributed is in a distribution network state, so that subsequent and smooth distribution network tasks are performed on the equipment to be distributed. The scanning control 630 is used to characterize that the current device is currently in a state of scanning the devices to be distributed around the network.

The display device includes a display, a communicator, and a controller. The display equipment is already accessed into the local area network through the communicator, when a user inputs a selected operation on the rapid distribution network control, the display equipment enters a distribution network mode, and the controller controls the Bluetooth module of the communicator to be started for scanning the equipment to be distributed in a certain range around the display equipment; the communication with the local area network can be realized through any local area network communication protocol, so that the controller of the display equipment can send instructions to other display equipment which is accessed to the local area network. The display equipment which has access to the same local area network is called as the distributed equipment; the devices which are scanned by the devices already distributed through the Bluetooth and are not accessed to the local area network are called as devices to be distributed; the distributed network equipment provided for the user 'fast distribution network' click operation interface is called as main control equipment; the distributed network devices other than the master device are called auxiliary devices. When the network to be distributed is distributed by the distributed network equipment, it can be understood that only one distributed network equipment needs to be selected when one network to be distributed is distributed.

In some specific implementation manners, the main control device may be a magic cube screen, and when a user clicks a "distribution network" in a user interface of the magic cube screen to enter a distribution network mode, the magic cube screen serves as a main screen and provides an operation interface for the user to perform operation of the distribution network. The "auxiliary device" may be a magic cube screen other than the main screen, which is called an auxiliary screen. The auxiliary screen can be a magic cube screen or a plurality of magic cube screens. After the auxiliary screen enters the distribution network mode, a scanning interface of a 'rapid distribution network' can be not displayed, and only scanning can be carried out on a background.

Fig. 7 illustrates a first interaction process diagram of a primary device with a secondary device in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 7, when a user clicks a "fast distribution network" control on a display, a controller sends an instruction to a communicator, starts bluetooth, scans a device to be distributed with a network, and further obtains a first scanning result; meanwhile, the controller sends a scanning instruction to the auxiliary equipment of the same local area network, and the auxiliary equipment responds to the scanning instruction and scans the equipment to be networked in a certain range around the auxiliary equipment so as to obtain a second scanning result; and the auxiliary equipment sends the second scanning result to the main control equipment. It should be noted that, if the bluetooth of the auxiliary device is not turned on, the auxiliary device needs to be instructed to forcibly turn on the bluetooth. And the controller of the auxiliary equipment sends the second scanning result to the main control equipment.

And the master control equipment receives the second scanning result and integrates the first scanning result and the second scanning result before the equipment to be distributed is determined. The first scanning result at least comprises an equipment Identification (ID) of the electronic equipment and the Bluetooth communication connection strength of the equipment and the electronic equipment. The second scanning result at least comprises the electronic device ID scanned by the auxiliary device, the Bluetooth communication connection strength of the auxiliary device and the electronic device and the auxiliary device ID. Therefore, when a plurality of auxiliary devices exist, the electronic device ID, the Bluetooth communication connection strength of the auxiliary devices and the electronic device and the auxiliary device ID have corresponding relations, and confusion of connection relations is avoided. In one example, the master device scans for "smart phone", "air conditioner" and "refrigerator", the auxiliary devices include auxiliary device a located in the kitchen and auxiliary device B located in the living room, auxiliary device a scans for "refrigerator", auxiliary device B scans for "air conditioner", "refrigerator" and "smart door lock". The auxiliary equipment A associates the white electricity information of the refrigerator with the ID of the auxiliary equipment A and then sends the white electricity information of the refrigerator to the main control equipment; and the auxiliary equipment B associates the white power information of the air conditioner, the refrigerator and the intelligent door lock with the ID of the auxiliary equipment B and then sends the information to the main control equipment.

In some embodiments, the first scan result and the second scan result include, but are not limited to, the following: the ID of the equipment to be distributed, the type of the equipment to be distributed, the room where the equipment to be distributed is located, the communication connection strength of the equipment to be distributed and the distributed equipment and the like.

In some embodiments, the first scan result and the second scan result may be packaged into a class or structure. Fig. 8 illustrates a packaged implementation of the first scan result and the second scan result in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 8, in an implementation, encapsulation of a scan result in Java includes a device ID of a network to be distributed, an account ID, an obtaining route, a device type, room information, a room ID, a state of whether a network has been configured, and a scan result sent by which network-configured device.

In some embodiments, duplicate devices to be networked in the first scanning result and the second scanning result are deduplicated, and a third scanning result is generated. In one example, the master device scans for "smartphone," air conditioner, "and" refrigerator, "the secondary device a scans for" refrigerator, "and the secondary device B scans for" air conditioner, "" refrigerator, "and" smart door lock. The same device ID to be networked has "refrigerator" and "air conditioner". If the duplicate removal is not performed, the smart phone, the air conditioner, the refrigerator, the air conditioner, the refrigerator and the smart door lock appear, and it can be seen that the refrigerator appears 3 times and the air conditioner appears 2 times. Duplicate removal should be performed on the repeatedly-appearing equipment to be networked, and the result is obtained: "smart phone", "air conditioner", "refrigerator" and "smart door lock". It should be noted that, although the "refrigerator" and the "air conditioner" are deleted 2 times and 1 time, in the third scanning result, the connection relationship between the "refrigerator" and the main control device, the connection relationship between the "refrigerator" and the auxiliary device a, and the connection relationship between the "refrigerator" and the auxiliary device B remain, and the connection relationship between the "air conditioner" and the main control device, and the connection relationship between the "air conditioner" and the auxiliary device B remain.

In some embodiments, the ID of the device to be distributed is queried according to an index, where the index refers to a position of the device to be distributed on a display of the device. Fig. 9a shows a display page of a device to be connected to a network displayed in the display in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 9a, the device to be connected to the network "intelligent door lock" is scanned in real time, the index of the intelligent door lock "is" 1 ", and information corresponding to the intelligent door lock" is displayed in the first row of the "immediate network connection" interface of the "rapid network connection". The information corresponding to the "intelligent door lock" includes, but is not limited to, a device name, a device picture, location information (08F1), an optional frame, and a modification frame. Fig. 9b shows a display page showing two devices to be connected in the display in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 9b, the device to be connected "intelligent door lock" and "air conditioner" are retrieved in real time, the index of the intelligent door lock is "1", "the index of the air conditioner" is "2", "white electricity information corresponding to the intelligent door lock" is shown on the left side of the first row of the interface of "immediate network distribution" of the "rapid network distribution", and white electricity information corresponding to the air conditioner "is shown on the right side of the first row of the interface of" immediate network distribution "of the" rapid network distribution ". FIG. 9c illustrates a display page showing three devices to be collocated in the display in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 9c, the devices to be networked, namely "intelligent door lock", "air conditioner" and "refrigerator", are retrieved in real time, the index of the intelligent door lock is "1", the index of the air conditioner "is" 2 ", the index of the refrigerator is" 3 ", the white power information corresponding to the intelligent door lock is displayed on the left side of the first row of the interface of" immediate network distribution "of the" rapid network distribution ", the white power information corresponding to the air conditioner is displayed on the right side of the first row of the interface of" immediate network distribution "of the" rapid network distribution ", and the white power information corresponding to the refrigerator is displayed on the left side of the second row of the interface of" immediate network distribution "of the" rapid network distribution ". It can be understood that, in order to avoid the duplicate appearance of the device to be networked on the display page, duplicate devices to be networked in the first scanning result and the second scanning result may be deduplicated.

The controller of the master control device is configured to confirm the device to be networked according to the first scanning result and the second scanning result. When the controller confirms the equipment to be distributed, the controller can select the equipment scanned first according to the time sequence of the equipment to be distributed; the most frequently used equipment can be selected according to the equipment use habit of the user; and selecting the prior equipment to be configured according to the index sequence. The present application is not limited.

Therefore, the task of integrating the information related to the equipment to be networked is completed around the equipment to be networked.

The controller of the main control device is further configured to select at least one candidate device for executing the distribution network task on the device to be distributed from the local device and the auxiliary device according to the first scanning result and/or the second scanning result.

FIG. 10a is a diagram illustrating the structure of a double linked list of candidate devices in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 10a, in a specific embodiment, after the display device obtains the first scanning result and the second scanning result, when there are multiple devices connected to the network to be configured, the candidate devices are sorted according to the strength of the communication connection between the network to be configured and the candidate devices, so as to obtain a candidate device linked list; and establishing a candidate device double-linked list according to the candidate device linked list.

FIG. 10b is a diagram illustrating the structure of nodes in the double linked list of candidate devices in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 10b, the node of the double-linked list of candidate devices includes a forward bit 01, a candidate device information bit 02, and a backward bit 03, and the candidate device information bit 02 includes the communication connection strength and the candidate device ID. As shown in fig. 10b and fig. 10a, the double-linked list is composed of nodes, any two adjacent nodes, for example, node 1 and node 2, where node 1 is in the front, node 2 is in the back, and the post bit of node 1 is associated with the pre bit of node 2. The node at the beginning of the double-linked list has a head pointer, the forward bit of the node points to NULL (namely NULL), and the backward bit at the end of the double-linked list points to NULL (namely NULL). Therefore, when the current candidate equipment is inserted into the candidate equipment linked list, the node with the first communication connection strength smaller than the current communication connection strength in the candidate equipment double linked list is searched and recorded as the target node; and inserting the candidate device information corresponding to the current communication connection strength before the target node. The linked list is convenient for inserting data, real-time sorting is carried out according to data returned by each auxiliary device based on the requirement of people, a front node is required to be recorded, a bidirectional linked list is selected, the bidirectional linked list does not need to move data during sorting, and although the space complexity is slightly higher than that of a sequence list, the time complexity caused by frequent sorting is greatly reduced; when the auxiliary equipment is used, a certain equipment to be distributed is quickly inquired according to the key value of the hash table, the value of the equipment is obtained, the complexity of the search time is 0(1), and new auxiliary equipment data are inserted into the auxiliary equipment linked list according to the sequence (the descending order of the Bluetooth intensity), wherein the maximum complexity of the insertion time is 0 (n).

Fig. 11 is a schematic structural diagram illustrating a hash table of a device to be networked in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 11, in a specific implementation manner, a hash table of devices to be networked is established, a key value of the hash table of devices to be networked is an ID of the devices to be networked, a value of the hash table of devices to be networked is a dual-linked list of candidate devices, and the IDs of the devices already distributed in the dual-linked list of candidate devices are arranged in order of strength of a communication signal from strong to weak.

In a specific example, after the hash table of the devices to be networked is established, when the master control device receives data of the devices to be networked returned by each auxiliary device, the received candidate device information is inserted into the hash table of the devices to be networked in sequence from strong to weak according to the bluetooth intensity, and the specific steps are as follows: receiving a second scanning result, and scanning n devices to be networked by the auxiliary device A; taking the 1 st scanned equipment a as equipment to be networked; judging whether hash data created by taking the ID of the equipment to be networked as a key value exists or not; if not, creating hash data, wherein the key value is the ID of the equipment to be networked, the value is a candidate equipment bidirectional linked list, and the linked list node data comprises communication connection strength and auxiliary equipment A information; if hash data created by taking the ID of the equipment to be networked as a key value exist, taking out the doubly linked list of the auxiliary equipment with the value, searching a node with the first communication connection strength smaller than the current communication connection strength from a head node, and inserting the information of the auxiliary equipment A into the found node to complete the sequential insertion of the information of the auxiliary equipment A corresponding to the white power; sequentially taking the 2 nd to nth scanned devices as devices to be configured with the network, and processing according to the steps; the data returned by other auxiliary equipment is consistent with the processing method of the auxiliary equipment A. And processing the information one by one, and forming a double linked list of candidate devices, wherein the key value is the ID of the device to be networked, the value is the corresponding candidate device double linked list which can search the device to be networked, and the double linked list is sorted according to the descending order of the Bluetooth intensity after all the auxiliary devices return the information.

Therefore, when a plurality of display devices which are already distributed in a network are available, the same device which is not distributed with the network can be scanned by the plurality of devices which are already distributed with the network, and after the plurality of display devices which are not distributed with the network are sequenced, one display device which is suitable for being distributed with the device which is not distributed with the network is selected from the plurality of display devices. The problem that one device without a distribution network is scanned by a plurality of devices with the distribution network to be incapable of distributing the network is solved. In addition, when a plurality of devices which do not distribute the network correspond to a plurality of devices which already distribute the network, a double-linked list with a key value of the ID of the device to be distributed and a value of the candidate device which is corresponding to the key value and can search the device to be distributed is formed, and the device which does not distribute the network can be distributed at the same time. The special treatment of the data of the network to be distributed and the data of the distributed network is added in the distribution network flow, so that the time consumed by the whole distribution network flow can be greatly reduced, the performance of the whole distribution network flow is improved, and the success rate of the distribution network is increased.
