Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments herein without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the present application.

The embodiment of the application provides a link management method, a device and a system.

As shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flow chart of a link management method provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the link management method is applied to a client. The specific flow can be as follows:

s101, acquiring equipment connection state information and cloud server connection state information, wherein the equipment connection state information represents the connection state between a client and target equipment, and the cloud server connection state information represents the connection state between the client and the cloud server.

The target equipment comprises Internet of things equipment with network access capability and data transmission capability, the client comprises a program for providing local service for users, and the cloud service end comprises a service platform for providing comprehensive service capability for various Internet users.

Specifically, the internet of things devices (e.g., intelligent home devices, intelligent wearable devices, etc.) have entered into production and life of people, and the internet of things devices can communicate with each other to automatically perform corresponding tasks, so that users can realize efficient management of life and production activities through control of the internet of things devices. In order to ensure that the internet of things equipment can normally operate, the client is required to manage the internet of things equipment, and currently, two equipment management modes are generally adopted: 1. the client side directly communicates with the Internet of things equipment to carry out local management on the Internet of things equipment; 2. the client communicates with the cloud server to indirectly perform remote management on the internet of things device through the cloud server, however, when the cloud server or the internet of things device is abnormal (for example, when the cloud server network is abnormal/the load is large and the device configuration is abnormal), the client cannot accurately select a proper device management mode according to actual conditions, so that the client cannot normally manage the internet of things device.

In order to avoid the occurrence of the above situation, in this embodiment, the connection state between the client and the target device and the connection state between the client and the cloud server are known by acquiring the device connection state information and the cloud server connection state information, so that a device management mode most suitable for the selection of the client is determined according to the two connection states, and therefore the client is ensured to be able to normally manage the target device in real time.

For example, when the connection state between the client represented by the device connection state information and the target device is normal connection, and the connection state between the client represented by the cloud server connection state information and the cloud server is abnormal, the client selects a local management mode to perform device management (i.e., directly communicates with the target device); when the connection state between the client represented by the cloud server connection state information and the cloud server is normal in connection and the connection state between the client represented by the device connection state information and the device is abnormal, the client selects a remote management mode to perform device management (namely, indirectly communicates with the target device through the cloud server); when the connection state between the client and the device, represented by the device connection state information, and the connection state between the client and the cloud server, represented by the cloud server connection state information, are normal, further judgment needs to be performed to determine the most suitable device management mode.

Specifically, in this embodiment, a local link (a link for connecting a client and a target device) and Yun Lianlu (a link for connecting a client and a cloud server) are created in advance, then a device connection request is initiated to the target device based on the local link and device connection state information returned by the target device based on the device connection request is acquired, and then the client logs in to the cloud server to initiate a cloud server connection request to the cloud server based on the cloud link and cloud server connection state information returned by the cloud server based on the cloud server connection request is acquired.

Optionally, since the WebSocket protocol has the characteristic of keeping the two connected parties in a long connection state, the WebSocket protocol can effectively improve connection efficiency, and in order to ensure connection efficiency between the client and the target device, and between the client and the cloud server, in this embodiment, a local link and a cloud link are created based on the WebSocket protocol.

Further, in order to ensure continuity of the device management work, it is necessary to avoid as much as possible that the device management cannot be performed normally due to abnormal connection (including abnormal connection between the client and the target device, abnormal connection between the client and the cloud server, and abnormal connection between the client and the target device and abnormal connection between the client and the cloud server) so that, in the practical application process, multiple connection may be tried to ensure that the connection between the client and the target device and between the client and the cloud server is normal as much as possible, and in addition, after the device connection status information and the cloud server connection status information are obtained, links of both successful connection parties (for example, successful connection between the client and the target device and successful connection between the client and the cloud server) are stored in the connection pool.

S102, when the equipment connection state information and the cloud server connection state information meet normal connection conditions, initiating an equipment list acquisition request to the cloud server.

The normal connection condition is a basis for judging whether the client is successfully connected with the target device/the client and the cloud server, and the device list acquisition request comprises a message for requesting to acquire the device list.

Specifically, as described above, when the connection state between the client and the device and the connection state between the client and the cloud service end are normal, further judgment is required to determine the most suitable device management mode, for this purpose, in this embodiment, when the device connection state information indicates that the client is normally connected with the target device and the cloud service end connection state information indicates that the client is normally connected with the cloud service end, it is determined that the device connection state information and the cloud service end connection state information both satisfy the normal connection condition, and at the same time, the client initiates a device list acquisition request to the cloud service end, and initiates an initialization request to the target device to request to acquire the device information of the target device, so that the most suitable device management mode is determined according to the device list and the device information of the target device.

S103, receiving a device list returned by the cloud service end based on the device list acquisition request, and extracting current management device information from the device list.

The device list stores all devices bound to the cloud server and mapping relations among device information of the devices, and the current management device comprises devices currently in a cloud server management state and is used for identifying the current management device. The cloud server stores a device list with all devices (target devices are contained in the device list) and corresponding device information which are bound with the cloud server, and after the cloud server receives a device list acquisition request initiated by a client, the device list is sent to the client based on the device list acquisition request, so that the client can extract current management device information corresponding to current management devices currently managed by the cloud server after receiving the device list. Optionally, in the actual application process, one of all the devices bound to the cloud service end may be selected as the current management device by default.

Specifically, in this embodiment, firstly, a device list returned by a cloud service end based on a device list acquisition request is received, then a current management device currently in a management state of the cloud service end is determined from the device list, and a current management device identification code is determined based on a mapping relationship between the device and device information, so that the current management device identification code is used as current management device information. Optionally, the current management device identification code includes a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier, unique identification code) of the current management device.

For example, the device list stores: when the client receives the device list, it determines that the current management device is the device a, and therefore determines that the current management device information is a11.

Further, after the current management device identification code is obtained, the current management device identification code is compared with the target device identification code (i.e. the device information of the target device) to obtain a comparison result, so that the comparison result is used as a selection basis of a device management mode. Optionally, the target device identification code includes a UUID of the target device.

S104, selecting a cloud link communication mode or a local link communication mode to communicate with the target device based on the information of the current management device.

When the current management equipment information meets cloud link communication conditions, communication is carried out with the target equipment based on a cloud link; and when the current management device information meets the communication condition of the local link, communicating with the target device based on the local link.

Specifically, the cloud link communication condition is a basis for judging whether the client and the target device can use the cloud link to communicate, and the local link communication condition is a basis for judging whether the client and the target device can use the local link to communicate.

Further, in this embodiment, if all links of both the normal connected parties are queried from the connection pool, if only the local link/cloud link (i.e. only the client is successfully connected with the target device/client and the cloud service end) is in the connection pool, the client directly communicates with the target device based on the link, and if the local link and the cloud link exist in the connection pool at the same time, further analysis is performed based on the comparison result:

when the comparison result shows that the identification code of the current management device is different from the identification code of the target device, the target device is not currently managed by the cloud server, namely the target device possibly has the problems of abnormal configuration and the like, so that the client cannot directly communicate with the target device, the current management device information is determined to meet the cloud link communication condition, communication is carried out with the target device based on the cloud link, namely the subsequent initiated instructions of the client are indirectly forwarded to the target device (namely remote management) through the cloud server.

When the comparison result shows that the identification code of the current management device is the same as the identification code of the target device, the cloud service end is managing the target device at the moment, and the situation that the load capacity and the flow consumption are large is indicated, so that the management resource of the cloud service end is avoided being occupied for ensuring the device management efficiency, the current management device information is determined to meet the local link communication condition, and the communication is carried out with the target device based on the local link, namely, the subsequent initiated instructions of the client end are directly sent to the target device (namely, the local management).

Further, because the client and the target device, and the client and the cloud server are in a long connection state, communication with the target device can be quickly performed based on the link after the optimal link is determined, so that the target device is managed, and the device management efficiency is effectively improved.

As can be seen from the foregoing, the link management method provided by the present application is applied to a client, and is firstly used for obtaining device connection state information for representing a connection state between the client and a target device, and cloud service end connection state information for representing a connection state between the client and a cloud service end, when the device connection state information and the cloud service end connection state information both meet normal connection conditions, a device list obtaining request is initiated to the cloud service end, then a device list returned by the cloud service end based on the device list obtaining request is received, and current management device information is extracted from the device list, so that a cloud link communication mode or a local link communication mode is selected to communicate with the target device based on the current management device information. The method comprises the steps that based on equipment connection state information and cloud server connection state information, current management equipment information can be obtained, a proper communication mode can be determined according to the current management equipment information, and communication is carried out with target equipment based on the determined communication mode, so that a client can accurately select a proper equipment management mode according to actual application conditions, normal management of the target equipment can be guaranteed to be carried out in real time by the client, and equipment management efficiency is improved.

According to the method described in the above embodiment, the present embodiment will be further described from the viewpoint of the link management apparatus.
