the server 105 is configured to send the device identity information of the to-be-distributed device 103 to the routing device 107 when it is determined that the to-be-distributed device 103 is a legal device according to the device identity information;

the routing device 107 is configured to allow the device to be connected to the network 103 to access the network if it is determined that the device identity information requesting networking matches the device identity information sent by the server 105.

In this embodiment, both the distributed network device 101 and the to-be-distributed network device 103 may access the internet through the routing device 107. The routing device 107 may comprise a device with routing capabilities capable of understanding a variety of transport protocols. The routing device 107 is capable of connecting at least two networks and may forward received data from one network to another. For example, the routing device 107 may connect a home lan with the internet and transfer data from the home lan to the internet or from the internet to the home lan. In this embodiment, the configured network device 101 and the routing device 107 complete a network distribution, where completing the network distribution may include that the routing device 107 may forward received data from one network to another network when the identity authentication is completed on the configured network device 101, for example, may send data received from the configured network device 101 to the server 105, or may send data received from the server 105 to the configured network device 101. The routing device 107 in the embodiment of the present application may include a wireless routing device, and the wireless routing device may include a routing device with a wireless coverage function, which is advantageous in that the number of connected smart devices is not limited, and the mobility of the smart devices is not limited. In some examples, the wireless routing device may support multiple communication protocol standards such as IEEE802.11 g, IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11 n, Wi-Fi, and so on.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the network-connected device 101 and the network-to-be-connected device 103 may include a smart phone, a computer (including a laptop computer and a desktop computer), a tablet electronic device (such as a tablet computer and an electronic reader), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a wearable electronic device (such as an intelligent bracelet and an intelligent watch), and an intelligent household appliance (a sweeping robot, a TV, a virtual reality device, an air conditioner, a refrigerator, a lamp, a projector, a sound box, etc.), the network-connected device 101 and the network-to-be-connected device 103 may include a device that can be connected to a network through the routing device 107, and the present application is not limited herein.

In this embodiment of the application, as shown in fig. 4, in S401, the connected network device 101 and the device to be networked 103 may establish a connection through a near field communication protocol. In one embodiment of the present application, the close range communication protocol may include at least one of: near Field Communication (NFC) wireless Communication protocol, acoustic Communication protocol.

Under the condition of being based on the NFC wireless communication protocol, both the device to be networked 101 and the device to be networked 103 may include NFC sensing modules, different NFC sensing modules may communicate with each other based on the NFC wireless communication protocol, and the NFC wireless communication protocol may include ISO/IEC 18092(NFCIP-1), ECMA-340, ECMA-352, ECMA-356, ECMA-362, ISO/IEC 21481(NFCIP-2), and so on. Compared with other wireless communication technologies, the NFC technology transmits information through high-frequency radio waves, and therefore, the communication distance of the NFC technology is short, and is usually within 20 cm. Based on this, when the connection between the distributed device 101 and the device to be networked 103 is established based on the NFC wireless communication protocol, the distributed device 101 and the device to be networked 103 need to be close to or in contact with each other. Then, before the connected relationship between the distributed network device 101 and the to-be-distributed network device 103 is established, it is required that a user brings the distributed network device 101 and the to-be-distributed network device 103 close to or into contact with each other as a precondition, in this case, the user can freely select a time or a place for connecting the distributed network device 101 and the to-be-distributed network device 103, so as to avoid unnecessary connection between the distributed network device 101 and the to-be-distributed network device 103.

Under the condition of the sound wave communication protocol, the distributed network device 101 and the to-be-distributed network device 103 may include a sound wave emitting module and a sound receiving module. In the acoustic wave communication technology, a device may encode information to be transmitted, convert the information into an acoustic wave signal, and then emit the acoustic wave signal through the acoustic wave emitting module. And the sound receiving module can decode the sound wave signal after receiving the sound wave, and convert the sound wave signal into transmitted information. Through the acoustic communication protocol, the distributed network device 101 and the to-be-distributed network device 103 can perform near field communication.

In the embodiment of the application, the connection between the distributed network equipment 101 and the equipment 103 to be distributed is established through the approach or contact in a close range, so that the manual operation of a user can be omitted, and the full-automatic distribution network without the manual operation is realized.

Of course, in other embodiments, the short-range communication protocol may include any communication protocol with a communication distance smaller than a preset distance, and the communication distance may be set to 10cm, 16cm, 20cm, 25cm, and the like, for example, which is not limited herein. In another embodiment of the present application, the connected network device 101 and the to-be-connected network device 103 may further establish a connection based on a near field communication protocol such as bluetooth, Wi-Fi, infrared, ZigBee, RFID, and the like. In an embodiment of the present application, the connection between the distributed network device 101 and the to-be-distributed network device 103 may also be based on a manual trigger of a user, for example, a designated control on the to-be-distributed network device 103 performs a preset operation, such as pressing a predetermined button for three seconds for a long time, pressing a predetermined button for three times for a short time, and the like. Of course, in other embodiments, an apparatus APP (usually provided by an apparatus party) corresponding to the apparatus 103 to be networked may be installed in the distributed apparatus 101, and the connection between the distributed apparatus 101 and the apparatus 103 to be networked is triggered in the apparatus APP, which is not limited herein. In another embodiment, in the process of establishing the connection, the connected device 101 may initiate the connection request first, or the to-be-connected device 103 may initiate the connection request first, which is not limited herein.

In this embodiment of the present application, as shown in S402-1 of fig. 4, after the connection between the network-connected Device 101 and the network-to-be-connected Device 103 is established, the network-connected Device 101 may obtain Device identity information of the network-to-be-connected Device 103 from the network-to-be-connected Device 103, where the Device identity information may be used to identify identity information of the network-to-be-connected Device 103, such as a Unique Device Identifier (UDID). Of course, in an embodiment of the present application, the configured network device 101 may send a request to the to-be-configured network device 103 to obtain the device identity information, or the to-be-configured network device 103 may actively send the device identity information to the configured network device 101, which is not limited herein.

In an application embodiment, in S402-2, the distributed network device 101 may further send device information of the routing device 107 to the device 103 to be networked, and the device 103 to be networked may be connected to the routing device 107 through the device information. In some examples, the device information may include an IP Address, a Media Access Control Address (MAC), a Service Set Identifier (SSID), and so on. Of course, although the subsequent network-connected device 101 needs to verify the validity of the network-to-be-connected device 103 through the server 105, the device information of the routing device 107 is sent to the network-to-be-connected device 103 in advance, so that the network-to-be-connected device 103 can send a network-distribution request to the routing device 107 in time, and the network-distribution efficiency can be improved regardless of whether the subsequent network-to-be-connected device 103 is verified to be valid or not.

Based on this, as shown in fig. 4, the distributed network device 101 may send the device identity information of the device 103 to be networked to the server 105, and the server 105 verifies the validity of the device 103 to be networked. Generally, an intelligent device producer can develop a corresponding intelligent control mode according to the functional attributes of the intelligent device. For example, the smart bulb has a functional attribute of adjusting color temperature and color, and thus, a user can adjust the color temperature or color of the bulb through a preset control method (such as voice control, APP control, etc.). However, other smart bulbs may have different functional attributes, such as only on and off functionality. Therefore, for intelligent devices with different functional attributes, the device producer can develop the intelligent control mode individually, and the device producer has no universality. In this embodiment, the device producer itself or a third party may provide the server 105, the server 105 may include a hardware device having a data information processing function and necessary software required to drive the hardware device to operate, and the server 105 may verify the validity of the received device identity information of the device 103 to be connected to the network. The server 105 may provide a predetermined port through which information provided by the distributed network device 101 may be received. For example, the server 105 may perform network data interaction with the distributed network device 101 based on a network protocol such as HTTP, TCP/IP, or FTP, and a network communication module. The server 105 may include a single server, a server cluster, and a cloud server, which is not limited herein.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure the validity of the distributed network device 101, the distributed network device 101 may further provide user account information registered by the user on the server 105. For example, before the network is distributed, a user registers a user account on an APP, an applet, or the like provided by the device side, and the client may store information of the user account, such as an account name and a password. In this way, the distributed network device 101 sends the device identity information of the to-be-distributed network device 103 and sends the information of the user account. Of course, the server 105 may also store the registered user account information, so that after receiving the user account information, the server 105 may first verify the user account information provided by the network-connected device 101, and then verify the identity validity of the network-to-be-connected device 103 when the user account information passes through.

In this embodiment of the application, in S405-1, the server 105 may obtain a preset device identity information set in the process of verifying the validity of the device to be networked 103, where the device identity information set may store device identity information of at least one piece of smart device provided by a device party, such as various types of smart devices produced by company a. Then, it may be determined whether the device identity information set includes the device identity information of the device to be connected to the network 103, where the identity of the device to be connected to the network 103 is determined to be a legal device when the device identity information set includes the device identity information.

In the embodiment of the application, the server 105 verifies the validity of the equipment 103 to be networked, so that whether the equipment 103 to be networked is an intelligent device provided by an equipment producer can be judged, and the condition that the function of the intelligent device cannot be used is avoided. On the other hand, the identity of the device to be networked 103 is verified, and security threats to the local network or the device can be avoided after an external unknown illegal device is connected to the local network.

On the other hand, in S404, after receiving the device information of the routing device 107, the device to be distributed 103 may scan the devices around the device to be distributed, and send a distribution network request to the routing device 107 in the case of scanning the routing device 107, where the distribution network request may include the device identity information of the device to be distributed 103, and thus, the routing device 107 may know the identity information of the device requesting distribution.

S403 may be implemented before S404, or may be implemented after S404, or may be implemented simultaneously, and the present application is not limited herein.

In this embodiment of the application, if the server 105 verifies that the identity of the to-be-configured network device 103 is a legal identity in S405-1, in S405-2, the server 105 may send the device identity information of the to-be-configured network device 103 to the routing device 107, where the device identity information may be referred to as verified device identity information. In S406, after receiving the verified device identity information, the routing device 107 may determine whether the verified device identity information matches the device identity information corresponding to the received distribution network request. And under the condition that the two devices are matched, allowing the device 103 to be distributed to access the network, and thus completing the distribution of the device 103 to be distributed. In addition, after the routing device 107 is configured with the device to be configured 103, a notification message of completing the network distribution may be sent to the device to be configured 103, so as to notify that the device to be configured 103 completes the network distribution, and the internet may be accessed. After the distribution network is completed, the device to be distributed 103 may send a signal that the distribution network is completed. The signal includes, for example, a light flashing, lighting a designated indicator light, sounding a predetermined sound, and the like. It should be noted that, since the execution sequence of S404 and S405-2 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application, it is possible that after the routing device 107 receives the device identity information of the device to be configured 103, the distribution network request of the device to be configured 103 is not yet received, in this case, the routing device 107 may temporarily store the verified device identity information. After receiving the device identity information sent by the server 105, the temporarily stored authenticated device identity information may be compared with the received device identity information to determine whether to allow the device requesting the distribution network to access the network, which is not limited in the present application.

In an actual application scenario, the distributed network device 101 may not be connected to the routing device 107 of the distributed network all the time during the operation process, for example, in a case that the distributed network device 101 includes a smart phone, the distributed network device 101 may be connected to the internet through a wireless router in a home, or may be connected to the internet by using a communication base station, such as a cellular mobile network like 4G/5G. In a case where the distributed network device 101 communicates with the server 105 through the routing device 107, the server 105 may directly acquire the device information of the routing device 107. However, if the distributed network device 101 communicates with the server 105 through other communication methods, the server 105 may have difficulty in acquiring the device information of the routing device 107. Based on this, in an embodiment of the present application, the server 105 may store a corresponding relationship between the user account corresponding to the distributed network device 101 and the device information of the routing device 107 completing the distribution network, so that the server 105 may acquire the routing device 107 accessed by the distributed network device 101 when the distributed network device 101 sends information to the server 105 in other communication manners. Table 1 provides a table of associations between user accounts and device information for routing devices. Based on this, in an embodiment of the present application, before the server 105 sends the device identity information of the device to be networked 103 to the routing device 107, the networked device 101 may send user account information registered in the server 105 to the server 105. After receiving the user account information, the server 105 may determine, through the stored association relationship between the user account and the device information of the routing device, the device information of the routing device 107 corresponding to the user account information sent by the distributed network device 101.

In another embodiment of the present application, in a case that the distributed network device 101 sends information to the server 105 through other communication methods, the distributed network device 101 may also send device information of the routing device 107 to the server 105.

In this embodiment, after the server 105 sends the device identity information to the routing device 107, an association relationship between the device to be configured 103 and a user account registered by the configured device 101 may also be established. After the association relationship between the device to be networked 103 and the user account is established and the device to be networked 103 completes the network distribution, the user can control the device to be networked 103 through the device to be networked 101. For example, after the intelligent sweeping robot completes the network distribution, a background server of the intelligent sweeping robot associates a user account with the intelligent sweeping robot, and then, after the user logs in the user account on the smart phone, the intelligent sweeping robot can be controlled through the mobile phone. Table 2 exemplarily shows an association table between the user account and the smart device.

In another embodiment of the present application, as shown in S407 of fig. 4, after the network distribution of the device to be networked 103 is successful, an account association request may be sent to the server 105, where the account association request includes the device identity information of the device to be networked 103. After receiving the account association request, the server 105 may determine that the device to be configured 103 has completed a network distribution. In this case, in S408, associating the user account with the device identity information of the device to be networked 103 can avoid the situation that the user account is already associated when the device to be networked 103 does not complete the network distribution.

In this embodiment, after associating the user account with the device identity information of the device to be networked 103, the server 105 may send a message that an association relationship has been established between the device identity information of the device to be networked 103 and the user account to the configured device 101, so that a user may determine that the user can control the operation of the device to be networked 103 through the configured device 101.
