The working principle of the prototype information reporting system shown in fig. 1, that is, how to execute the prototype information reporting method provided in the embodiment of the present application, is described below.

In a possible implementation manner, the prototype 11 may wait for the acquisition device 12 to establish a connection with the prototype 11 by sending a broadcast message of BLE, and after establishing the connection, send the operation information of the prototype 11 to the acquisition device 12, as shown in fig. 4, specifically including:

s101, the prototype management software in the prototype 11 is started automatically along with startup, and the Bluetooth state is checked and the Bluetooth is started.

S102, the store operation software in the acquisition device 12 is started up automatically along with starting up, and the Bluetooth state is checked and the Bluetooth is started.

S103, the prototype management software in the prototype 11 counts the operation information of the prototype 11, and periodically sends a broadcast data (broadcasting data) message on the broadcast channel (broadcast channel) of BLE to wait for the acquisition device 12 to connect.

The operation information of the prototype 11 includes at least one of the following information: run time of the prototype 11, bright screen times of the prototype 11, current temperature of the prototype 11, and the like. The operation information of the prototype 11 is used to monitor the operation state of the prototype 11.

As shown in fig. 5, the prototype 11 may send a broadcast data (advertisement data) message in each broadcast period (advertising interval) to wait for the acquisition device 12 to connect, where the broadcast data (advertisement data) message includes the media access control (media access control, MAC) address of the prototype 11, so as to distinguish between different prototypes 11 in the same storefront.

S104, the store operation software in the acquisition device 12 sends a scan response request (scan response request) message to the prototype 11 through the broadcast channel of BLE, and acquires a predefined generic attribute protocol (generic attribute profile, GATT) to establish a connection.

As shown in fig. 5, after receiving a broadcast data (advertisement data) message of a prototype 11, the store operation software in the collecting device 12 sends a scan response request (scan response request) message to the prototype 11 through a broadcast channel of BLE in the same broadcast period (advertising interval), where the scan response request (scan response request) message is used to answer the broadcast data (advertisement data) message.

GATT defines the way two BLE devices transmit data back and forth using the "service and feature" concept. It uses the attribute protocol (attribute protocol, ATT) to store Services (Services), features (charcterics) and group data into a simple lookup table, each entry in the lookup table using a 16-bit identification.

The connection established by GATT is exclusive, i.e. one sample 11 can only be connected to one collection device 12 at a time. If a prototype 11 is connected to the acquisition device 12, the prototype 11 stops broadcasting so that other devices cannot find and connect to the prototype 11 and the prototype 11 does not re-broadcast until the current connection is broken.

The prototype management software in the prototype 11 transmits a scan response data (scan response data) message via the BLE broadcast channel in S105.

As shown in fig. 5, the specimen management software in the specimen 11 transmits a scan response data (scan response data) message over the broadcast channel of BLE in the broadcast period (advertising interval), and the scan response data (scan response data) message includes the operation information of the specimen 11 and the Serial Number (SN) of the specimen 11.

After receiving the information, store operation software in the acquisition device 12 caches the information in the temporary storage space.

And S106, the store operation software in the acquisition device 12 transmits the MAC address, the running information and the serial number of the prototype 11 to the server 13.

Store operation software in the acquisition device 12 logs in to the server 13 during normal use and periodically sends a heartbeat signal to the server 13 to keep logging valid, wherein the heartbeat signal can include the MAC address, running information and serial number of the prototype 11.

And S107, after receiving the MAC address, the running information and the serial number of the prototype 11, the server 13 checks the prototype 11 according to the MAC address and the serial number of the prototype 11 and monitors the prototype 11.

The server 13 may send the MAC address and the serial number of the prototype 11 to the channel management system, query whether the MAC address and the serial number match, if so, check the prototype 11 successfully, and obtain the channel information of the prototype 11 from the channel management system, otherwise, check the prototype 11 fails.

After the verification is successful, the server 13 may collect and correlate relevant information (such as MAC address, operation information, serial number, channel information) of the prototype 11, and monitor the prototype 11 to output monitoring information, where the monitoring information may be in a form of report, for example, whether the prototype 11 is normally displayed in a store, whether the operation state of the prototype 11 is monitored, for example, whether the prototype 11 is overheated, whether the operation time and the bright screen time of the prototype 11 are too long, and count the bright screen times of the prototype 11.

S108, the monitoring equipment 14 can acquire a prototype report of each store from the server 13, wherein the prototype report comprises monitoring information of prototypes.

This embodiment is suitable for a scenario in which the prototype 11 needs to transmit much information (in particular, the operation information of the prototype 11), and cannot be carried by the broadcast data (advertisement data) message of the broadcast channel of BLE.

In another possible implementation manner, the prototype 11 may carry the operation information of the prototype 11 in the broadcast message of BLE, so that the collecting device 12 may directly obtain the operation information of the prototype 11 without further establishing a connection with the prototype 11, as shown in fig. 6, specifically including:

s201, the prototype management software in the prototype 11 is started automatically along with startup, and the Bluetooth state is checked and the Bluetooth is started.

S202, the store operation software in the acquisition device 12 is started up automatically along with starting up, and the Bluetooth state is checked and the Bluetooth is started.

And S203, the prototype management software in the prototype 11 counts the operation information of the prototype 11 and periodically transmits a broadcast data (advertisement data) message on a broadcast channel of the BLE.

The broadcast data (broadcasting data) message includes the MAC address of the prototype 11, the running information, and the serial number. The operation information is referred to the foregoing description and will not be described in detail herein.

Steps S204-S206 refer to steps S106-S108, and are not described herein.

The embodiment is suitable for the scene that the information (particularly the operation information of the prototype 11) needed to be sent by the prototype 11 is less, the acquisition equipment 12 can complete the information transmission of the prototype 11 without establishing connection with the prototype 11, and the power consumption and the information transmission time delay can be reduced.

In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for reporting prototype information, as shown in fig. 7, including:

s301, the prototype 11 counts the operation information of the prototype.

Specific reference is made to steps S103 and S203, and no further description is given here.

S302, the prototype 11 sends the MAC address, the serial number and the operation information of the prototype to the acquisition device 12 through the broadcast channel of BLE.

In one possible implementation, as described in steps S103 and S105, the MAC address of the prototype is carried in a broadcast data (broadcasting data) message of the broadcast channel, and the serial number and the running information of the prototype are carried in a scan response data (scan response data) message of the broadcast channel.

In another possible implementation, as described in step S203, the MAC address, the sequence number, and the running information of the prototype are all carried in a broadcast data (broadcasting data) message of the broadcast channel.

S303, the collecting device 12 sends the MAC address, the serial number and the operation information of the prototype to the server 13.

Specific reference is made to steps S106 and S204, and details are not repeated here.

According to the information reporting method and the electronic device for the prototype provided by the embodiment of the application, because Bluetooth pairing is not needed by two BLE devices in BLE communication, the two BLE devices can automatically communicate through a broadcast channel, so that the acquisition device can acquire information of the prototype and report data through BLE communication under the condition that a store staff does not feel, namely, normal operation flow of a store is not influenced, and monitoring efficiency of the prototype is improved.
