In the prior art, a plurality of web applications of a mobile terminal support binding of an account and cloud printing equipment, such as a web-version social media application, an instant messaging application, office software, and the like, and include a single-page application which is popular nowadays, such as an applet embedded in a mobile APP. The Web application is characterized by the need to log into an account on the Web side and bind in a Web page. Generally, the mobile terminal can only display one page at a time, so if a plurality of web applications need to bind the accounts of the web applications to the cloud printing device, the pages need to be frequently switched to execute binding steps one by one, and the operation is very complicated. Therefore, a more convenient scheme for implementing the binding function for different web applications is needed.
< method >
In order to solve the above problem, the present embodiment provides a binding method of an image forming apparatus, executable by an application program (e.g., a mobile print app) within a mobile terminal, as shown in fig. 1, including:
s120: a cloud print recognition step of recognizing whether the image forming apparatus supports cloud printing. The manner of identifying whether the image forming apparatus supports cloud printing may be: code-scanning identification, finding from stored data, identification by searching, and the like. When the identification is carried out through code scanning, the mobile terminal uses a camera to scan an identification code (such as a two-dimensional code) of the image forming equipment, the identification code can be displayed in a panel of a machine body or an image forming device, or a field for indicating whether cloud printing is supported or not is added in an information page printed and output by the image forming device, the information whether the cloud printing is supported or not is obtained through the field when the mobile terminal scans the code, wireless point-to-point connection can be established between the mobile terminal and the image forming device after the identification code is scanned by the mobile terminal, the image forming device is connected to a target network, after the network is successfully connected, the image forming equipment is searched and bound to the mobile printing APP, and after the image forming equipment is found to support the cloud printing through scanning identification, the mobile printing APP has a display interface display skip interface when the image forming equipment is added. If the mobile printing APP is added or bound with the image forming device, information that the image forming device supports cloud printing is stored together, or a lookup table is established, and at least unique identification information of an image forming device and whether the image forming device supports cloud printing are stored in the lookup table; when the mobile printing APP identifies the image forming device added, the judgment can be carried out through the lookup table. When the identification is carried out through the search, the mobile terminal sends out a search signal, so that the image forming equipment returns a response signal after receiving the search signal; and judging whether the image forming equipment supports cloud printing according to the returned response signal. An alternative search method is UDP port query, which may also use Bonjour protocol for searching. Another embodiment of the cloud print recognition step is: and when finding that the image forming device and the image forming device are in the same local area network through the search, identifying whether the image forming device supports cloud printing according to a response signal returned by the image forming device for the search. That is, when the mobile terminal is already in the same local area network as the printing device, the mobile printing APP searches for the image forming device, and a response signal returned by the image forming device may include information on whether cloud printing is supported.
S130: a display step of displaying a skip interface for performing the skip step in response to a skip signal when the image forming apparatus supports cloud printing. As shown in FIG. 2, the jump interface 411 may be used to jump from the mobile printing APP operations interface 410 to the interface 420 of the web application.
S140: and a jumping step for calling the web application and transferring the device information of the image forming device to the web application. Different evoking commands can be selected according to the types of the web applications, for example, when the web applications are single-page applications (such as applets) in instant messaging software, the pages of the applets can be evoked by using SDK instructions supported by the instant messaging software. The device information may be obtained together when identifying whether cloud printing is supported, or may be obtained separately in another manner.
S150: and a binding step of binding the account of the web application with the image forming apparatus through the apparatus information. As shown in fig. 3, after the web application is invoked, the web application may upload the account information and the device information obtained in step S140 to the cloud server to complete the binding of the account with the image forming device.
Before the cloud print recognition step S120 is performed, the method may further include: and a distribution network step S110, configured to establish communication with the image forming apparatus, and send distribution network information to the image forming apparatus, so that the image forming apparatus is connected to an access point corresponding to the distribution network information. The distribution network information may include an SSID and a password of the access point. Further, the process of establishing communication with the image forming apparatus in the network distribution step S110 is as follows: and establishing at least one wireless connection of Bluetooth connection, wiFi direct connection, NFC connection and SAP wireless connection with the image forming equipment. Wherein "at least one" means that the mobile terminal can establish a multi-channel connection with the image forming apparatus, for example, both bluetooth and SAP are connected, as long as there is no conflict between the connection modes.
Displaying that the step S130 has a plurality of optional execution occasions, for example, the step S can be executed after the distribution network step returns the distribution network success information; therefore, the user can immediately jump to the web application interface to finish binding when the distribution network is finished, and the operation steps of manually switching to the web application by the user are reduced. The displaying step S130 may also be executed when entering the device information page of the image forming device, so that the user can accurately determine the printing device supporting cloud printing and quickly complete binding to other web applications when the mobile printing APP of the mobile terminal views the added printing device.
Further, the number of the skip interfaces in the displaying step may be multiple, each skip interface corresponds to an account of a web application, and the skip interface is configured to skip to a web application page corresponding to the skip interface in response to a skip signal and bind the account of the web application with the image forming apparatus.
In particular, when the SAP wireless connection is established with the image forming apparatus, a technical problem that a page of the web application loses a network response can be solved, as particularly shown in fig. 3. Fig. 3 (a) to 3 (c) are one application scenario in which an applet account is bound to an image forming apparatus. When binding, the account information and the printing equipment information need to be uploaded to the cloud server, so that the cloud server associates the account information with the printing equipment. This requires that both the mobile terminal and the printing device be able to connect to the cloud server properly, i.e., maintain communication with the wide area network. In fig. 3 (a), the printing apparatus supports only the SAP point-to-point connection function, not the bluetooth connection. The mobile terminal can access the cloud server in an initial state, for example, the mobile terminal can communicate with a wide area network through a mobile network or a router, and a user can open a web application and log in an account. At this time, the printing apparatus does not access the wide area network, and thus cannot access the cloud server. In fig. 3 (b), the user's mobile terminal is connected to the softAP of the printing apparatus, forms a local network connection with the printing apparatus, and cannot transmit the SSID and password of the target router to the printing apparatus using the web application. Because the mobile terminal needs to be disconnected from other wireless access points or the mobile network when being connected to the softAP, the mobile terminal loses the connection with the wide area network, and the web application cannot be used. Since the web application is different from the mobile print app, the mobile print app can be used offline, and the web application may lose the response of the page once offline, for example, in fig. 3 (c), the web application is still in an inoperable state, and the user may need to restart the web application to complete the subsequent binding process.
Thus, when the mobile printing APP establishes the SAP wireless connection with the image forming device, the embodiment of the present invention can solve the problems in fig. 3 (a) to 3 (c), without causing the web application to lose response when the mobile terminal is connected to the SAP of the image forming device and thus failing to complete the binding. According to the embodiment of the invention, the image forming equipment only supporting SAP connection can be conveniently bound to the web application to use the cloud printing service, so that more service choices are provided for users.
Application example 1:
in this example, the target printing device is not added to the mobile printing APP of the user mobile terminal, and the target printing device is not searched in the target network, so that it can be determined that the target printing device is not configured in the target network. At this time, the network distribution step of the target printing device needs to be carried out: and the mobile printing APP sends target network information (such as SSID and/or password) to the target printing device, so that the target printing device is connected to the access point and is in the same network segment with the mobile terminal. And then, the mobile printing APP sends a search signal, so that the target printing device returns information containing an identification bit indicating whether the device supports cloud printing. After the printing equipment is successfully added, if the target printing equipment is recognized to support cloud printing, a skip interface is displayed, after a user triggers the skip interface, the mobile printing APP calls the web application through the interface, the SN number and other equipment information of the target printing equipment are transmitted to the web application, and the web application sends the SN number and other equipment information and the logged account information to the cloud server to achieve binding.
Application example 2:
in this example, the target printing device is not added to the mobile printing APP of the user mobile terminal, but the target printing device is searched in the target network, and accordingly it can be determined that the target printing device is configured to the target network. At this time, the target printing device returns information including an identification bit of "whether the device supports cloud printing". After the printing equipment is successfully added, if the target printing equipment supports cloud printing, a skip interface is displayed, after a user triggers the skip interface, the APP calls the web application through the interface, the device information such as the SN number of the target printing equipment is transmitted to the web application, and the web application sends the device information such as the SN number and the logged account information to the cloud server to achieve binding.
Application example 3:
in this example, if the target printing device is added to the mobile printing APP of the user mobile terminal, the stored device characteristic information is searched for to determine whether the target printing device supports cloud printing.
Specifically, if the mobile printing APP has been added with the target printing device, after the user opens the mobile printing APP, the mobile printing APP displays an icon of the printing device which is connected or added before, the user clicks the icon to enter a detailed page of the printing device, the consumable allowance, the product model, the serial number and the like of the printing device can be checked in the detailed page, if the printing device supports cloud printing, a skip interface is arranged in the detailed page, and the printing device which is added with the current mobile printing APP is synchronously added into the web application after skipping through the skip interface.
According to the embodiment, the printing equipment which is successfully bound by the mobile printing APP can be synchronously bound to other application programs, the synchronous binding requirements of different application platforms are met by one-time binding, user operation is reduced, and the printing equipment needs to be searched again and bound without entering different application programs by a user.
Another embodiment is to display an icon of the printing device after the printing device is added to the mobile printing APP, and if the printing device supports cloud printing, a prompt may be added to the icon of the printing device, so that a user may enter another application program according to the prompt to add the same printing device to the other application program.
Application example 4:
when a mobile printing APP of a mobile terminal needs to add or bind printing equipment, the printing equipment is searched through a local area network where the mobile terminal is located, a general search mode is that Bonjour search is used, the printing equipment returns response information in response to the search, and the response information can include information whether cloud printing is supported or not, so that the application example can search the printing equipment in the local area network once and can also identify whether the searched printing equipment supports cloud printing or not, when a user selects a searched equipment list, the user can know which printing equipment supports cloud printing from the search list, and if the user selects the printing equipment supporting cloud printing, the mobile printing APP adds the selected printing equipment and then displays a skip interface, so that the user can add the selected printing equipment to other web applications. By the method, the printing equipment supporting cloud printing can be identified when the printing equipment is searched, so that a user can add the target printing equipment quickly, the cloud printing equipment can be associated with the instant messaging application program, and the skip interface can be displayed to bind the printing equipment to other commonly used instant messaging application programs when the printing equipment is bound to the mobile printing APP.
Optionally, when the mobile printing APP searches for a printing device in the local area network, the above-mentioned identification step is not performed, but when the user selects one printing device in the search list, the mobile printing APP adds a printing device, and then the user may further interact with the printing device to determine whether the mobile printing APP supports cloud printing, so that the skip interface can be displayed after the mobile printing APP adds the selected printing device.
Whether the printing equipment supports cloud printing or not is identified in the embodiment of the invention, which is not limited to the above description, and whether the printing equipment supports cloud printing or not is identified when the printing equipment is added during mobile printing APP, or whether the printing equipment supports cloud printing or not is identified after the APP is successfully added, which is within the scope of the embodiment of the invention; whether the search related to the embodiment of the invention selects local area network search, bluetooth search or SAP mode search can judge whether the printing equipment supports cloud printing through the response information, so the search modes are also in the scope of the embodiment of the invention.
Application example 5:
in this example, a user wants to bind accounts of multiple web applications with a target printing device, the mobile printing APP displays one or more skip interfaces on interfaces related to the target printing device, and the related interfaces at least include one or more of a notification interface when a distribution network is successful, a notification interface when a printing device is successfully added, a list interface for displaying the successfully added printing devices, and a device information interface entered after a successful printing device icon is clicked. And each of the plurality of related jump interfaces corresponds to a web application, the corresponding web application is jumped to after the jump interface is clicked, and account information of the web application and printing equipment information corresponding to the jump interface are sent to the server to finish binding.
The embodiment of the invention can add the printing equipment by using the mobile printing APP, identify whether the printing equipment supports cloud printing after the printing equipment is added, display the jump page if the printing equipment supports cloud printing, and synchronously add the printing equipment added by the mobile printing APP to other application programs by the jump page. The synchronous adding and binding of different application platforms to the same printing equipment are realized, and the binding process of different platforms operated by a user in a complicated manner is not needed.
