The specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art according to the specific circumstances.

Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of a WIZE maintenance system according to an embodiment of the application is shown. The WIZE maintenance system 10 includes: WIZE terminal 20, maintenance terminal 30, gateway 40, and electricity meter 50. The gateway 40 is a device for centrally managing and controlling the WIZE terminal 20 and the electricity meter 50, and is used for receiving data from the WIZE terminal 20 and transmitting the data to a background server or a data center; and is also configured to receive commands issued from the background server and then transmit the commands to the corresponding WIZE terminals 20 via the WIZE communication protocol. The electricity meter 50 is a device for measuring power consumption, and communicates with the WIZE terminal 20 through WIZE communication technology; the meter periodically transmits power consumption data to the gateway 40 through the WIZE terminal 20, and may also receive commands, such as meter reading commands, control commands, etc., from the gateway 40. Thus, the gateway 40 can acquire electricity consumption of the electricity meter in real time and perform remote control operation. The WIZE maintenance system 10 includes one or more WIZE terminals 20, a gateway 40, and an electricity meter 50; wherein the one or more WIZE terminals 20 establish a wireless communication connection with a gateway 40, and each meter 50 establishes a wired or wireless communication connection with a WIZE terminal 20; the maintenance terminal 30 establishes a communication connection with one or more WIZE terminals 20.

The WIZE terminal 20 includes: a wireless communication unit 21, a first verification unit 22, a response unit 23 and a second parameter configuration unit 24. The maintenance terminal 30 includes: a broadcasting unit 31, a second checking unit 32, a statistics unit 33, a first parameter configuration unit 34, a status inquiry unit 35, a display unit 36, and a trouble shooting unit 37.

The broadcasting unit 31 is configured to broadcast a broadcast frame with a preset or pre-maintained transmission parameter. Wherein the parameter preconfiguration or pre-maintenance broadcast frame contains special SSID prefix information.

In particular, special SSID prefix information, an identifier for a wireless network, may help a user to better identify different wireless networks. Taking SSID prefixes as an example, a network service provider or organization may add special prefixes to the SSID of its wireless network to help users quickly discern whether the network belongs to a particular organization or service provider. This is done to provide better service and better network security protection for the user. Common special SSID prefix information includes "attwifi" (wireless network of AT & T), "xfinitywfi" (wireless network of Comcast), and so forth.

The wireless communication unit 21 is configured to receive a parameter preconfiguration or maintenance broadcast frame sent by the broadcast unit 31.

The first checking unit 22 is configured to automatically check specific SSID prefix information contained in the parameter preconfigured or pre-maintenance broadcast frame received by the wireless communication unit 21.

The response unit 23 is configured to generate a reply/reject signal according to the verification result of the first verification unit 22 and a preset rule.

Specifically, the first verification unit 22 presets a set of preset rules, which define the format and requirements of the specific SSID prefix. For example, the length of the prefix, the character type, the location of a particular character, etc. are specified. The first verification unit 22 compares the extracted specific SSID prefix information with a preset rule item by item, and checks whether the length of the prefix meets the specification, whether the character type meets the requirement, whether a specific character appears at a correct position, and the like. After receiving the parameter pre-configuration or pre-maintenance broadcast frame sent by the maintenance terminal 30, the first verification unit 22 first determines whether the special SSID contained in the parameter pre-configuration or pre-maintenance broadcast frame is correct, and then determines the verification results such as the functional flag word, the data frame length, the data frame integrity verification, and the like. The response unit 23 obtains the verification result of the first verification unit 22, namely, pass or reject: if the verification result of the first verification unit 22 is that the received parameter pre-configuration or pre-maintenance broadcast frame is valid, the response unit 23 generates a reply signal to reply to the corresponding data item according to the corresponding function flag word; if the result of the first checking unit 22 is that of refusal, the response unit 23 generates a refusal signal indicating that the received parameter pre-configuration or pre-maintenance broadcast frame is problematic, and needs to be corrected or refused to be used.

The second checking unit 32 is configured to receive the reply signal sent by the response unit 23, and automatically filter and check devices that conform to the SSID prefix rule.

Specifically, the second verification unit 32 obtains reply information of the device by receiving the reply signal sent by the response unit 23.

SSID prefix rule: SSID is an identifier of a wireless network and its prefix rule refers to a part of the character preceding the SSID name, typically used to identify a specific type of device. For example, a Company's wireless network may require that the SSID prefixes of all employee devices start with "company_".

The second checking unit 32 filters the device information in the received reply signal, and only retains the device information conforming to the SSID prefix rule. This may be achieved by matching the SSID prefix of the device with rules. The device will be retained if its SSID prefix matches the rule, otherwise it will be excluded. For devices that meet SSID prefix rules, the second calibration unit 32 may further perform a calibration, including: checking of authentication information, security, etc. of the verifying device ensures that only legitimate devices are allowed to connect to the network.

In this way, the second verification unit 32, by receiving the reply signal and filtering and verifying the devices using SSID prefix rules, ensures that only regular and verified devices can connect to the network.

The statistics unit 33 is configured to calculate an equipment list according to the filtering and checking results of the second checking unit 32.

The first parameter configuration unit 34 is configured to generate a first parameter configuration instruction. Specifically, the first parameter configuration unit 34 generates a first parameter configuration instruction according to a preset rule, including: reading parameters such as software version, error type, table number, read/set transmit power, channel, air interface rate, RTC time, and activate install push frame.

The broadcasting unit 31 is configured to broadcast and send the first parameter configuration instruction generated by the first parameter configuration unit 34 according to the devices in the list generated by the statistics unit 33.

The wireless communication unit 21 is configured to receive a first parameter configuration instruction broadcast by the broadcast unit 31;

the second parameter configuration unit 24 is configured to respond to the first parameter configuration instruction sent by the broadcast unit 31, and perform corresponding configuration on the parameters of the WIZE module 20.

Specifically, the second parameter configuration unit 24 configures parameters of the WIZE module 20 through a first parameter configuration instruction, so as to adjust a working mode and performance, and may specifically include: by configuring the communication frequency, the WIZE module 20 can communicate on a specific frequency band, so that interference with other devices is avoided; setting the transmit power of the WIZE module 20 to meet different communication distance requirements; according to actual requirements, configuring the data transmission rate of the WIZE module; selecting a suitable communication protocol, such as a WIZE standard protocol or other custom protocols, to meet specific communication requirements; and an encryption algorithm and a secret key are configured, so that the safety of communication data is protected, and interception or tampering by an unauthorized third party is prevented.

As described above, the maintenance terminal 30 can pre-screen the wipe terminals 20 within the surrounding preset range by pre-configuring the broadcast parameters or pre-maintaining the broadcast frames: when the peripheral WIZE terminal 20 has a reply frame, a list of neighboring peripheral devices is counted. When the maintenance terminal 30 issues the first parameter configuration instruction again, the maintenance terminal 30 only broadcasts and sends the first parameter configuration instruction to the devices in the list, so that the effect of simultaneously performing parameter configuration on the plurality of WIZE terminals 20 is achieved, and therefore, the maintenance terminal 30 can effectively filter peripheral non-designated devices, and the broadcast configuration efficiency is improved.

The status query unit 35 is configured to query the communication status between the WIZE terminal 20 and each device node, and display the corresponding communication status through the display unit 36.

The status query unit 35 obtains the communication status information of each device node by sending a query request to each device node, and displays the information through the display unit 36. Specifically, the status query unit 35 periodically transmits a query instruction to each device node to query their communication status. After receiving the inquiry command, the equipment node replies correspondingly according to the communication state condition of the equipment node. The status query unit 35 receives and parses the replies, obtains the communication status information of each device node, and transmits the information to the display unit 36. The display unit 36 processes and displays the communication status information so that the user can clearly understand the communication status between the WIZE terminal 20 and each equipment node. Possible presentation means include displaying status icons, text descriptions, etc. of the device nodes on the display screen.

Thus, through the combination of the status query unit 35 and the display unit 36, the user can conveniently monitor and understand the communication status between the WIZE terminal 20 and each equipment node, discover the communication failure or abnormal situation in time, and take corresponding measures to repair. This helps to improve the stability and reliability of the system, ensuring proper communication between the devices.

Referring to fig. 2, the maintenance terminal 20 provides a visual dynamic display, and can query the following states:

(1) The connection state between the ammeter 50 and the WIZE terminal 20;

(2) The connection status between the WIZE terminal 20 and the gateway 40.

The troubleshooting unit 37 is configured to control, when the status query unit 35 queries that the wipe terminal 20 has a fault, the display unit 36 to display a troubleshooting result and troubleshooting operation guiding information according to a preset troubleshooting flow, so as to gradually perform troubleshooting and operation according to the guiding information.

and 3a, checking whether the ammeter works normally.

The fault checking unit 37 performs fault checking between the ammeter 50 and the WIZE terminal 20, and specifically includes:

the fault checking unit 37 controls the display unit 20 to display guide information of 'whether the connection between the electricity meter and the WIZE terminal is firm' according to the first checking flow;

After the operator completes the operation of confirming the connection according to the "check whether the connection between the ammeter and the WIZE terminal is firm", the fault checking unit 37 controls the display unit 36 to display the guiding information "check whether the WIZE terminal works normally";

after the operator completes the operation of confirming the normal operation according to the "check whether the electricity meter is normal", the "troubleshooting between the electricity meter 50 and the WIZE terminal 20" is completed. Then, the next check point (i.e. the check of the fault between the other ammeter and the WIZE terminal) is entered for the check of the fault, and the principle is the same as above, and the description is omitted here.

Specifically, the indicator lamps are arranged on the electric meter 50, and meanwhile, the display unit 36 of the maintenance terminal 30 synchronously displays the fault condition corresponding to the indicator lamps of the electric meter, so that the specific fault state of the electric meter can be obtained.

The trouble shooting unit 37 controls the display unit 36 to display guide information of "check transmission power" when receiving the response frame; specifically, the transmission power to the WIZE terminal 20 may be detected by: first, ensure that WIZE terminal 20 is properly connected and in an operational state; using a professional tool such as a power meter or a radio spectrum analyzer to measure the transmission power of the WIZE terminal 20; the antenna of the power meter or the radio spectrum analyzer is close to the antenna of the WIZE terminal 20, so that the test under the same working environment is ensured; setting parameters of a power meter or a radio spectrum analyzer so as to be able to receive signals transmitted by the WIZE terminal 20; the wipe terminal 20 is started to transmit data and observe the power value displayed on the power meter or the radio spectrum analyzer; the measured transmit power values are recorded and further analyzed and compared as needed. The specific method of operation may vary depending on the actual situation and equipment used and is not specifically recited herein.
