In order to quickly locate a faulty speaker, the present embodiment provides a speaker management system, as shown in fig. 1, the speaker management system includes a user terminal 10, a preset number of speakers 20, and a server 30. Optionally, the server 30 is in communication connection with the user terminal 10 and each speaker 20. Optionally, the server 30 is communicatively connected to the sound box 20 through a gateway corresponding to a wifi network, and the server 30 may also be communicatively connected to the user terminal 10 through a gateway or a mobile network (e.g., 5g, 4g, 3g, etc.) corresponding to the wifi network. The user terminal 10 may be communicatively coupled to at least one speaker 20 via a bluetooth network. The connection of the user terminal 10 to each speaker 20 shown in fig. 1 is only one possible example and is not intended to be limiting.

S306, the server controls the main node in each sub-loop to perform loop detection.

The main node is any one sound box in the sub-loops, any one sound box in the total sound box loop belongs to N sub-loops, N is more than or equal to 1 and is less than M, and M is the total number of the sub-loops.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a total loop of a sound box according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In fig. 3, speaker a, speaker B, speaker C, speaker D, and speaker E form a speaker loop. Its corresponding sub-loop may include: ABCDE, ABCE, ABDE, ACDE, ABC, ABD, ABE, ADE, ACE, ACD, BCDE, BCD, BDE, CDE, and CD, among others. The composition of the sub-loop is various and is not limited herein.

It should be understood that the same enclosure a may belong to multiple sub-loops simultaneously, such as sub-loops (ABC, ABCD, ACD, and ABD), etc. Alternatively, when enclosure A is simultaneously acting as the primary node for a sub-loop (ABC, ABCD, ACD and ABD), enclosure A is required to simultaneously perform loop detection for the sub-loop (ABC, ABCD, ACD and ABD).

Of course, the main nodes of the sub-loops (ABC, ABCD, ACD, and ABD) may be enclosure B, enclosure C, and enclosure D, which are merely examples and do not constitute a limitation of the main node selection.

Any one sound box in the total sound box loop belongs to N sub-loops, and for the sound box B as an example, N < M means that at least one sub-loop does not include the sound box B, and N is more than or equal to 1 means that at least one sub-loop includes the sound box B. For example, the first sub-loop type hereinafter includes enclosure B and the second sub-loop type hereinafter does not include enclosure B.

It should be noted that other combinations of the total loops of the sound boxes may also exist, as shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of another total loop of the sound box provided in the embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, after the main node performs loop detection, the current state of the corresponding sub-loop may be known, for example, the sub-loop is clear or the sub-loop is disconnected. The current state of each sub-loop obtained by the master node is transmitted to the server 30.

S307, the server acquires the current state of each sub-loop.

Wherein the current state comprises that the sub-loop is open or the sub-loop is disconnected.

Optionally, the current state fed back by the master node includes an identifier of the corresponding sub-loop, which facilitates the identification and determination by the server 30.

With continued reference to the above example, it is assumed that the speaker a performs loop detection on the sub-loops (ABC, ABCD, ACD, and ABD) at the same time, and the detection results are that (ABC, ABCD, and ABD are all in the sub-loop off state, ACD is in the sub-loop clear state, and the master node (speaker a) may transmit the detection results (the current states of the respective sub-loops) obtained by the master node to the server 30.

S308, the server determines the fault sound box according to the current state of each sub-loop.

The fault sound box is a sound box with a first type sub-loop and a second type sub-loop, the first type sub-loop comprises the fault sound box, the current state of the first type sub-loop is that the sub-loop is disconnected, the second type sub-loop comprises all sound boxes except the fault sound box in the first type sub-loop, and the current state of the second type sub-loop is that the sub-loop is unblocked.

With reference to the above example, the first-type sub-loop is ABCD, the second-type sub-loop is ACD or ACDE, and the server 30 can determine the sound box B as a faulty sound box by comparing the current states of the sub-loops, so as to implement fault location.

In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for locating a faulty loudspeaker, where a server controls a main node in each sub-loop to perform loop detection, where the main node is any loudspeaker in the sub-loops, any loudspeaker in a total loudspeaker loop belongs to N sub-loops, N is greater than or equal to 1 and less than M, and M is the total number of the sub-loops; the server acquires the current state of each sub-loop, wherein the current state comprises that the sub-loop is smooth or the sub-loop is disconnected; the server determines a fault sound box according to the current state of each sub-loop, wherein the fault sound box is a sound box with a first type of sub-loop and a second type of sub-loop, the first type of sub-loop comprises the fault sound box, the current state of the first type of sub-loop is that the sub-loop is disconnected, the second type of sub-loop comprises all sound boxes except the fault sound box in the first type of sub-loop, and the current state of the second type of sub-loop is that the sub-loop is unblocked. The server can quickly determine the fault sound box by comparing the current states of the sub-loops, so that fault positioning is realized.

On the basis of fig. 2, regarding how to control the master node in each sub-loop to perform loop detection in S306, the embodiment of the present application further provides a possible implementation manner, please refer to fig. 5, where S106 includes: s106-1, as detailed below.

S306-1, the server sends a detection starting instruction to the main nodes in each sub-loop.

The detection starting instruction is used for driving the main node to determine the current state of the sub-loop where the main node is located.

Referring to fig. 5, regarding how the master node completes loop detection, a possible implementation manner is further provided in the embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, the method for locating a fault sound box further includes S202, S203, S204, and S205, which are described in detail below.

S202, after receiving the detection starting instruction, the main node sends out a detection message corresponding to the sub-loop.

Wherein, the detection message carries the ring transmission sequence of the detection message in the sub-loop.

In a possible implementation manner, each sub-loop is configured with a corresponding detection message, the detection message is stored in the main node corresponding to the sub-loop, when the main node receives a detection start instruction, the main node sends the detection message in the corresponding sub-loop, and whether the sub-loop is unblocked is determined according to whether the feedback message is received or not. When one loudspeaker box is simultaneously used as a main node of a plurality of sub-loops, the main node respectively sends corresponding detection messages in each sub-loop where the main node is located, and it should be understood that the detection messages of different sub-loops are different.

Continuing to refer to the above example, when the sound box a is simultaneously used as the main node of the sub-loops (ABC, ABCD, ACD, and ABD), it is required that the sound box a simultaneously performs loop detection on the sub-loops (ABC, ABCD, ACD, and ABD), that is, sends out detection messages corresponding to the sub-loops (ABC, ABCD, ACD, and ABD), respectively.

It should be understood that the circular transfer sequence is a circular structure, for example, the sub-loops are speaker A, speaker B, and speaker C, the circular transfer sequence may be speaker A → speaker B → speaker C → speaker A, and speaker A is the main node in the sub-loop. When each sound box in the sub-loop receives the detection message, the detection message is continuously transmitted according to the annular transmission sequence until the sound box returns to the main node.

In a possible implementation manner, a TCP protocol may be used to transmit the detection packet, the TCP protocol ensures that the loop is reliable, each speaker in the sub-loop is provided with a client (for sending the detection packet) and a server (for receiving the detection packets sent by other speakers), and the detection packet format is a "TLV" format (TLV refers to Type, Length, and Value).

Of course, the detection message may also be sent using UDP protocol.

And S203, in a preset time interval, whether the main node receives the detection message transmitted back by the sub-loop or not is judged. If yes, go to S205; if not, go to S204.

Optionally, the value of the preset time interval may be 5 seconds or 30 milliseconds, and may also be specifically set according to the number of the speakers in the sub-loop.

With reference to the above example, assuming that the sound box a receives the detection message of the sub-loop ACD within the preset time interval, the detection message of the sub-loop ACD passes through the sound box a → the sound box C → the sound box D → the sound box a, and indicates that the current state of the sub-loop ACD is that the sub-loop is unblocked. On the contrary, if the sound box a fails to receive the detection messages of the sub-loops ABC, ABCD and ABD within the preset time interval, it indicates that the current states of the sub-loops ABC, ABCD and ABD are the sub-loops disconnected.

And S204, determining the current state of the sub-loop as the sub-loop disconnection.

S205, determining the current state of the sub-loop as that the sub-loop is clear.

It should be appreciated that after determining the current state of the sub-loops, the master node may transmit the current state to the server, i.e., the server obtains the current state of each sub-loop.

On the basis of fig. 5, regarding how the sub-loops are divided and how the detection messages corresponding to the sub-loops are obtained, a possible implementation manner is further provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to fig. 6, where the method for locating a faulty loudspeaker further includes: s304 and S305 are specifically set forth below.

S304, the server divides each sound box in the total sound box loop to determine information of each sub-loop.

The sub-loop information comprises a main node identifier and a detection message corresponding to the sub-loop.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a sub-loop division result according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the total enclosure loop includes enclosure 1, enclosure 2, enclosure 3, enclosure 4, enclosure 5, and enclosure 6. After division, the sub-loop composed of four nodes may include 8 sub-loops such as speaker 1 → speaker 2 → speaker 5 → speaker 4 → speaker 1 and speaker 2 → speaker 3 → speaker 5 → speaker 6 → speaker 2, and the sub-loop composed of three nodes may include speaker 1 → speaker 2 → speaker 4 → speaker 1, speaker 1 → speaker 2 → speaker 5 → speaker 1, speaker 1 → speaker 4 → speaker 5 → speaker 1, speaker 2 → speaker 4 → speaker 5 → speaker 2, speaker 2 → speaker 3 → speaker 6 → speaker 2, speaker 2 → speaker 5 → speaker 6 and speaker 3 → speaker 5 → speaker 6 → speaker 3.

As for the result of the division of the sub-loops shown in fig. 7, when the speaker 2 fails, as shown in fig. 8, the speaker 1 → the speaker 4 → the speaker 5 → the speaker 1 and the speaker 3 → the speaker 5 → the speaker 6 → the speaker 3 is not affected, and the data link is still accessible, without affecting the playing and detecting of the two loops.

S305, the server sends the sub-loop information to the main node according to the main node identification.

So that the main node sends out the detection message corresponding to the sub-loop after receiving the detection starting instruction.

In a possible implementation manner, the detection packet may not carry a ring transmission sequence corresponding to the sub-loop. Each node in the sound box stores configuration information of the sub-loop and the corresponding relation between each sub-loop and the detection message, and when the node receives the detection message, the node determines the sub-loop according to the detection message, so that the next node in the sub-loop is determined, and the detection message is transmitted to the next node.

Referring to fig. 6, how to determine the total loop of the sound box, the embodiment of the present application further provides a possible implementation manner, as shown in fig. 6, the method for locating a fault sound box further includes: s101, S201, S301, S302, and S303 are specifically described below.

S101, after the user terminal and the sound box are in wireless communication connection for the first time, the user terminal transmits WiFi information and an authentication code to the sound box.

The authentication code comprises an identifier of the user terminal; the WiFi information includes a WiFi name and a WiFi password.

Alternatively, the first establishment of the wireless communication connection between the user terminal and the speaker box may be performed through bluetooth.

S201, the loudspeaker box sends an authentication code to a server through a communication network corresponding to the WiFi information.

Optionally, the sound box searches through a WiFi name to determine a WiFi network, verifies through a WiFi password, accesses the WiFi network, and sends the authentication code to the server through the WiFi network.

S301, after receiving the authentication code sent by the sound box, the server adds the sound box to a management list corresponding to the user terminal.

It should be understood that the management lists for different users are different.

S302, the server issues a management list to the user terminal so that the user terminal generates a composition instruction according to the management list.

It should be understood that there may be a greater number of enclosures for the same user, and that the user does not need to have all enclosures operating simultaneously for a certain period of time, so that a management list is provided for the user to select.

It should be understood that each time the management list is updated, a new management list is transmitted to the user terminal.

It should be understood that, a user may select, for example, click or slide, a sound box for playing on a user interface (display management list) displayed by the user terminal, and after the user selects a corresponding sound box, the user terminal may generate a composition instruction, where the composition instruction includes an identifier of each sound box selected by the user, that is, an identifier of any sound box in the total loop of the sound boxes.

And S303, the server determines the total loop of the sound box according to the composition instruction transmitted by the user terminal.

Wherein the composition instruction includes an identification of any one of the speakers in the total loop of speakers.
