FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for role switching of a price tag base station according to a first embodiment of the present invention. A price tag base station role switching method comprises the following steps:

s1, when a price tag receives a setting instruction of a server forwarded by a conventional base station, designating the price tag as a relay base station;

s2, when a blind area price tag in a blind area corresponding to the relay base station is started, the obtained blind area price tag information of the blind area price tag is forwarded to the server by the conventional base station;

and S3, when the server transfers the image pushing data of the blind area price tag to the relay base station through the conventional base station, the relay base station calls the blind area price tag and transmits the image pushing data to the blind area price tag.

In this embodiment, according to the market environment, for a price tag completely in a signal blind area, a function of setting a price tag role is added on the base station side, and a relevant price tag can be configured as a relay base station through a server. On one hand, according to the requirement condition, the function can be automatically and flexibly configured and cancelled; on the other hand, the roles of the normal price tag and the relay price tag may be interchanged.

In this embodiment, a non-home price tag list queue is added on the base station side, and price tags in the queue are marked as price tags of abnormal registration, and the network access process is not completed in a paging mode, and the price tags can be blind zone price tags specified by a server. Or carrying a price tag for network access through the relay base station, wherein the price tag queue needs to be bound with the relay base station ID.

In this embodiment, when the base station sends the price tag picture in a circulating manner, the normally registered price tag is sent first, and then, the pictures in the blind zone price tag queue are sent to the relay price tag according to the picture condition received from the server, wherein the pictures carry the ID information of the main price tag. Optionally, the above function may also be implemented by the relay base station resolving and forwarding the corresponding blind area price tag.

In this embodiment, please refer to a price tag base station deployment diagram shown in fig. 10, which illustrates that relay passing and price updating of a common price tag for three signal dead angles are implemented by a relay price tag. Based on the above illustration, the common price tag is changed into the price tag of the relay base station, and the dual-mode monitoring and information sending function is designed at the relay base station: firstly, the price tag function is the same as that of a common price tag, and the price tag has the functions of no change, periodic dormancy and awakening, and normal communication with the home base station, namely the complete network access and picture collection function; however, after serving as a relay base station, a base station broadcast transmission mode is added for transmitting information, the base station broadcast transmission mode has a simple function of receiving common price sign-on, and the base station broadcast transmission mode works in a three-channel mode, for example, a common relay channel is added for broadcast transmission, so that interference on other price signs is avoided. Then, for the relay base station, the channel for transmitting the forwarding data carried in the broadcast is the broadcast channel of the original base station, and a notice is provided to the blind zone price tag. Therefore, after the price tag of the blind area hears the broadcast information, network access and data receiving can be initiated in the channel. Based on the method, the wireless relay base station can respectively hear the broadcast channel information of the original base station and the network access information of the blind area price tag only by monitoring the same channel, and information missing or loss can not be caused. Further, the network access information is forwarded to the base station, and the base station records and incorporates the blind area price tag list. And finally, the added information forwarding function comprises the steps of forwarding the network access information of the blind area price tag to the base station and forwarding the price picture of the base station to the blind area price tag. Certainly, when receiving the relay picture, the analog relay base station needs to identify the ID information of the sending destination when analyzing the base station sending the picture command, the ordinary price tag only needs to analyze whether the ID information is a blind zone price tag, and the relay base station can select to analyze whether the ID information is the blind zone price tag. Therefore, according to the design process, the relay base station can also increase and maintain a blind area price tag list for network access.

In this embodiment, for the blind area position price tag: firstly, the blind area price tag can use a common price tag, the registration information of the blind area price tag is transmitted to the base station through the relay base station and then to the server, and the relay base station is in transparent transmission for the blind area price tag; in this embodiment, if the particularity of the blind zone price tag is considered, some optimization improvements can be performed, a low sleep mechanism is set as required, transmission information of the relay price tag can be monitored conveniently and timely, the running power consumption of the wireless relay price tag is synchronously reduced, and the service cycle of the battery is prolonged.

In this embodiment, for the key deployment requirement of the price tag auto-monitor function store of the relay base station: the signal transmission performance of the relay base station is weaker than that of a real base station, the position close to the blind area price tag can be deployed according to the test coverage distance condition, or the transmission power of the relay base station is dynamically adjusted according to the requirement, so that the operation power consumption of the relay base station is ensured to be in a relative balance state.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the proposed relay base station price tag strategy can conveniently implement and solve the above extreme signal blind area, and implement the price tag timing update. Through the strategy, the layout of the base station is reduced, the hardware cost and the redundant signal interference are reduced, a lot of convenience is brought to construction, the operation is convenient, and meanwhile, the base station can be updated and replaced in time to realize automatic optimization and management.

The embodiment has the advantages that the price tag is designated as the relay base station when the price tag receives the setting instruction of the server forwarded by the conventional base station; when a blind area price tag in a blind area corresponding to the relay base station is started, the obtained blind area price tag information of the blind area price tag is forwarded to the server by the conventional base station; when the server transfers the image pushing data of the blind area price tag to the relay base station through the conventional base station, the relay base station calls the blind area price tag and transmits the image pushing data to the blind area price tag. The price tag base station role switching scheme is efficient and convenient, the base station layout, the hardware cost and the interference of redundant signals are effectively reduced, the construction convenience, the operation convenience and the updating and replacing flexibility are improved, and the automation degree of price tag optimization and management is greatly enhanced.

Fig. 3 is a second flowchart of the role switching method of the price tag base station according to the embodiment of the present invention, wherein the step of designating the price tag as the relay base station when the price tag receives the setting instruction of the server forwarded by the conventional base station comprises:

s01, acquiring a first position of the conventional base station, and determining a blind area range corresponding to the first position and the blind area price tag in the blind area range;

s02, obtaining a second position of the blind area price tag, determining a relay range according to the first position, the second position and the blind area range, and determining one or more price tags in the relay range as the relay base station.

In this embodiment, the relay base station is manually set by the server, for example, when the price tag at the blind spot position in each price tag known by the server, including the price tag placed at the low end of the long and narrow passageway, is far away from the actual base station (named base station a), and cannot hear the base station signal, a price tag B (whose ID information is known as B) may be deployed at the middle position as the relay base station, and set as the base station B.

Fig. 4 is a third flowchart of the role switching method of the price tag base station according to the above embodiment, wherein the step of designating the price tag as the relay base station when the price tag receives the setting instruction of the server forwarded by the conventional base station includes:

s11, configuring a sending mode of base station broadcast corresponding to data sending in the relay base station, and setting a public relay channel corresponding to the sending mode;

s12, monitoring the public relay signal through the relay base station, and acquiring broadcast channel information of the conventional base station and the blind area price tag information of the blind area price tag.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the price tag B completes normal network entry registration at the base station a. In this case, the server may transmit an instruction to the ID of the price label B through the a base station, and set the ID as the relay base station B. After receiving the price tag, the price tag converts the identity into a data channel record of the base station B, and the data channel record of the base station B is automatically converted into the data channel of the base station B.

Fig. 5 is a fourth flowchart of the role switching method of the price label base station according to the embodiment of the present invention, wherein the step of designating the price label as the relay base station when the price label receives the setting instruction of the server forwarded by the conventional base station includes:

s13, when the server sets a blind area price tag list which corresponds to the conventional base station and contains the blind area price tag, determining the network-accessing base station with the blind area price tag as the conventional base station;

and S14, the relay base station is determined as a common price tag by the conventional base station.

Alternatively, in this embodiment, please refer to the first relay base station control schematic diagram shown in fig. 11, wherein, first, through manual setting by the server, when it is known which price tags are located in the blind area position, for example, the price tag located at the low end of the long and narrow passageway is far away from the actual base station (named base station a), and cannot hear the base station signal, at this time, a price tag B (whose ID information is known to be B) may be deployed at the middle position, and set as the relay base station B, and the price tag completes normal network entry registration at the base station a. In this case, the server may send an instruction to the ID of the price label B through the a base station, and set the ID as the relay base station B. After receiving the price tag, the price tag converts the identity into a data channel record of the base station B, and the data channel record of the base station B is automatically converted into the data channel of the base station B.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the server side may also manually set the price tag C of the blind zone as the blind zone price tag list of the base station a, that is, the price tag C is linked to the base station a by default. While base station B (price tag B) may be a role for base station a that is not paying attention, but still recognized as price tag B.

Fig. 6 is a fifth flowchart of the role switching method of the price tag base station according to the embodiment of the present invention, where when the server transfers the map pushing data of the blind area price tag from the conventional base station to the relay base station, the relay base station calls the blind area price tag and transmits the map pushing data to the blind area price tag, including:

s31, when the server transfers the image-pushing data to the relay base station through the conventional base station, carrying the identity information of the blind area price tag in the image-pushing data, and setting the identity information of the relay base station as a target address of the image-pushing data;

and S32, when the relay base station receives the image pushing data, calling the blind area price tag by using the public relay channel as a broadcast channel, and sending the image pushing data to the blind area price tag through a preset data channel after the blind area price tag responds.

Optionally, in this embodiment, referring to fig. 11 again, when the server needs to send information such as a picture to the blind area price tag C, the server may directly carry the ID of the blind area price tag C, send the price tag B according to the binding information, where the target address fills the ID of the price tag B, and the price tag B is used as the relay base station B, and after analyzing the information, the relay base station B receives the information.

Optionally, in this embodiment, after the relay base station B completes receiving the information (price label C), the relay base station B may simulate the function of the base station, and notify the call shadow zone price label C through its relay channel (the data channel of the base station a may also be used) as a broadcast channel, and after the shadow zone price label is heard, the relay base station B may receive the information according to the data channel appointed in the information.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the broadcast information of the relay base station B belongs to directional broadcast for the blind zone price tag C, so that interference to other nearby common price tags is avoided, the blind zone price tag can be found quickly, the broadcast times are reduced, and the power consumption is reduced. Meanwhile, the price tag C carried in the directional broadcast packet can be a list of a plurality of price tags. The number of the lists can be dynamically adjusted according to the number of the blind area price tags and the memory setting condition of the relay base station B.

Alternatively, in this embodiment, the blind zone price tag C may be a plurality of price tags, which are recorded by the server list, and although default information is networked to the base station a, immediately after the relay base station B starts to receive the broadcast, it is also necessary to start a network access procedure, and send status information of the price tag C to the relay base station B. Finally, the information is relayed to the base station a and sent to a server record such as a list. The method and the device are mainly used for carrying out state query and management on the blind area price tag C, and the base station is also enabled to obtain parameter information such as the size of the price tag, so that reasonable and correct price picture information can be conveniently pushed.

Fig. 7 is a sixth flowchart of the price label base station role switching method according to the present invention, wherein, based on the above-mentioned embodiment, when a price label receives a setting instruction of a server forwarded by a conventional base station, the designating the price label as a relay base station includes:

s15, when the server sets a blind area price tag list which corresponds to the conventional base station and contains the blind area price tag, the blind area price tag list is forwarded to the relay base station through the conventional base station;

and S16, the relay base station stores and maintains the blind area price tag list.

Alternatively, in this embodiment, please refer to the second relay base station control schematic diagram shown in fig. 12, wherein, by manual setting of the server, when it is known that which price tags are located in the blind area position, such as the price tag located at the low end of the long and narrow channel, is far away from the actual base station (named base station a), and cannot hear the base station signal, a price tag B (whose ID information is known to be B) may be deployed at an intermediate position, and set as the relay base station B, the price tag completes normal network entry registration at the base station a. In this case, the server may send an instruction to the ID of the price label B through the a base station, and set the ID as the relay base station B. After receiving the price tag, the price tag converts the identity into a data channel record of the base station B, and the data channel record of the base station B is automatically converted into the data channel of the base station B.

Fig. 8 is a seventh flowchart of the method for role switching of a price tag base station according to the present invention, wherein, based on the above embodiment, when a price tag receives a setting instruction of a server forwarded by a conventional base station, the method designates the price tag as a relay base station, and further includes:

s17, setting the default network access base station of the blind area price tag in the blind area price tag list as the conventional base station;

and S18, the relay base station is determined as a common price tag by the conventional base station.

Optionally, in this embodiment, referring to fig. 12 again, the server side additionally sends the blind zone price tag list to the price tag B while setting the relay base station, and the relay base station B does not store the information list locally any more and stores and maintains the information list. But the price tag in the blind zone price tag list can be accessed to the base station A by default. While base station B (i.e., price tag B) may be a role for base station a that is not paying attention, but still recognized as price tag B.

Fig. 9 is an eighth flowchart of the role switching method of the price tag base station according to the present invention, where based on the foregoing embodiment, when the server transfers the map pushing data of the blind area price tag to the relay base station from the conventional base station, the relay base station calls the blind area price tag and transmits the map pushing data to the blind area price tag, including:

s33, when the server transfers the image pushing data to the relay base station through the conventional base station, carrying the identity information of the blind area price tag in the image pushing data, and setting the identity information of the blind area price tag as a target address of the image pushing data;

and S34, when the relay base station receives the map pushing data, analyzing whether the target address is a price tag in the blind area price tag list, if so, using the public relay channel as a broadcast channel, calling the blind area price tag, and sending the map pushing data to the blind area price tag through a preset data channel after the blind area price tag responds.

Optionally, in this embodiment, referring to fig. 12 again, when the server needs to send information such as a picture to the blind zone price tag C, the server may directly carry the ID of the blind zone price tag C, the sending target is also the blind zone price tag C, instead of the price tag B, after the price tag B (relay base station B) receives and analyzes through the base station a, the information carrying ID needs to be analyzed, and if the analysis is the information of the blind zone price tag C, the information is received.

Optionally, in this embodiment, after the relay base station B (price tag C) completes receiving the information, the relay base station B (price tag C) may simulate a base station function, and notify the call blind zone price tag C through the relay channel (the data channel of the base station a may also be used) as a broadcast channel, and after the blind zone price tag is heard, the call blind zone price tag may receive the information according to the appointed data channel in the information. The directional broadcast packet with the broadcast still being the blind zone price tag C queue is sent.

Optionally, in this embodiment, although the blind zone price tag C (which may be a plurality of price tags, recorded by the server list) accesses the network to the base station a by default, immediately after the relay base station B starts to receive the broadcast, it is also necessary to start the network access procedure, and send the status information of the price tag C to the relay base station B. Finally, the information is relayed to base station a and sent to a server record such as a list. The method and the device are mainly used for carrying out state query and management on the blind area price tag C, and the base station is also enabled to obtain parameter information such as the size of the price tag, so that reasonable and correct price picture information can be conveniently pushed.
