In some embodiments, the electronic device 200 may integrate a Matter application in the application layer, which may assist the electronic device 200 in establishing an interactive connection with the Matter device, thereby enabling the electronic device 200 to perform home control on the Matter device according to the Matter protocol. The Matter protocol is an open-source intelligent home connection protocol, supports interconnection between intelligent home equipment and a control platform, and can control the running state of the intelligent home equipment through the control platform. In this embodiment, the electronic device 200 may be installed indoors, so as to perform control on the water devices in the same area according to the control instruction sent by the user as the control end.

The Matter device is an intelligent home hardware product with the Matter protocol function, and the electronic device 200 can be used as a control end of the intelligent home hardware product and is controlled by the electronic device 200. The Matter device may be a home device in the same area as the electronic device 200, such as a light bulb, a switch, a sensor, a thermostat, a shutter motor, a door lock, a bridge device, a media player device, and the like. The water device can be provided with a sensor or a sensor switch and the like to control the starting operation of the water device.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 200 may be wirelessly connected to the Matter device to perform control of the Matter device by remote communication, for example, a user sends voice instructions to the electronic device 200: "please turn on the bedroom lamp", the controller 250 of the electronic device 200 can convert the voice command into a control command and send the control command to the bedroom lamp through the wireless connection channel to turn on the bedroom lamp.

In the above embodiment, the electronic device 200 needs to send the control command to the sensor of the water device through the wireless network, and the sensor starts the water device or shuts down the water device according to the control command. For this reason, the Matter distribution network needs to be performed on the Matter device before the electronic device 200 controls the Matter device to operate.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 200 may perform the network distribution on the Matter device through wireless communication, for example, start a bluetooth module of the electronic device 200, and search for a device to be network-distributed to complete the pairing connection to complete the network distribution. The electronic device 200 may also be provided with an image acquisition interface and connected to a camera through the image acquisition interface, through which scanning is performed on the authentication code on the Matter device. The authentication code contains a network signal for establishing a distribution network connection with the Matter device, so that the pairing connection of the electronic device 200 and the Matter device is completed, and the control end distributes the network to the Matter device.

However, due to different structural designs of the home, the electronic device 200 may be spaced apart from the Matter device to be networked. When the electronic device 200 is far away from the Matter device, bluetooth of the Matter device cannot be connected, and because the occupied space of the electronic device 200 is large, two-dimensional codes on the Matter device cannot be conveniently scanned, so that network interaction between the control end of the electronic device 200 and the Matter device is inconvenient.

In order to solve the problem of difficult network interaction between the control end and the Matter device, some embodiments of the present application provide an electronic device 200, where the electronic device 200 includes a first communication interface and a second communication interface, where the first communication interface is used to establish a first communication connection with the terminal device 300, and the second communication interface is used to establish a second communication connection with a device to be networked.

The first communication connection may be established through a WiFi connection or the same hotspot network. The terminal device 300 may be a mobile device such as a smart phone, a smart watch, etc., so that after the electronic device 200 is connected to the terminal device 300, the terminal device 300 scans the authentication code of the device to be configured.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 200 and the terminal device 300 may have an application program installed thereon for the Matter connection, and the electronic device 200 and the terminal device 300 may simultaneously start the application program to establish the first communication channel through the pairing of identity information. In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the network environment of the first communication channel is stable, the electronic device 200 may be in the same network environment as the terminal device 300.

As shown in fig. 3, the electronic device 200 further comprises a controller 250, the controller 250 being configured to perform the following method:

s100: and responding to the network distribution instruction input by the user, and transmitting the equipment information of the equipment to be distributed to the terminal equipment.

In some embodiments, a user may input a network configuration instruction to the electronic device 200 through various input modes such as voice, gestures, touch pad, remote controller, etc., where the network configuration instruction may include device information of a device to be configured, where the device information includes information such as a device name, a device model number, a device installation location, and a device preparation state. As shown in fig. 4, when the user inputs a network allocation command "please turn on the lamp of the master bedroom" to the electronic device 200 by voice, the controller 250 performs voice recognition on the network allocation command, so as to obtain that the to-be-allocated network device is located in the master bedroom, the device type is "lamp", and the to-be-allocated network information is sent to the terminal device 300 through the first communication channel.

One or more devices with a Matter protocol function may be included in the periphery of the electronic device 200, where the to-be-networked device is the Matter device specified in the network deployment instruction.

In some embodiments, before receiving the network allocation instruction, the controller 250 may also establish a communication connection with a power system in an area where the electronic device 200 is located, where the area may be a home, an office area, a home booth area, or the like. The controller 250 may determine a ready state of the network device to be configured according to the device information of the network device to be configured, for example, an electric quantity of the network device to be configured, whether the network device to be configured has a fault, and the like, through the power system, and send the device information to the terminal device 300 according to the ready state.

S200: and acquiring authentication code information through the first communication channel.

Wherein the authentication code information is generated by the terminal device 300 scanning the pairing code corresponding to the device information. After the terminal device 300 obtains the device information of the to-be-configured network device sent by the electronic device 200, the user may start the camera of the terminal device 300 and call the scanning frame to perform scanning on the pairing code of the to-be-configured network device through the terminal device 300.

The terminal device 300 may display device information of the to-be-configured network device on a display of the terminal device 300 through an application program for the Matter connection, so as to prompt a user to hold the terminal device 300 close to the to-be-configured network device, scan a pairing code on the to-be-configured network device through the terminal device 300, and the terminal device 300 may parse the pairing code, thereby obtaining authentication code information. The authentication code information is the authentication information of the equipment to be distributed, and each Matter equipment has unique authentication code information for identifying the corresponding Matter equipment.

The terminal device 300 may return the authentication code information to the electronic device 200 through the first communication channel so that the controller 250 searches for the network device to be provisioned according to the authentication code information.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the controller 250 may send the device information of the to-be-configured network device to the terminal device 300, and may also send a code scanning instruction to the terminal device 300 through the first communication channel, where after receiving the device information of the to-be-configured network device and the code scanning instruction, the terminal device 300 may establish a code scanning task according to the device information, so as to prompt a user to complete scanning of a pairing code corresponding to the device information through the terminal device 300. After generating the code scanning task, the controller 250 may send a prompt message to the terminal device 300 at a first time interval to prompt the user to complete the scanning task through the terminal device 300 as soon as possible, and after the terminal device 300 completes scanning, the code scanning task may be checked.

In some embodiments, in order to prevent the non-network distribution device from executing network distribution on the network device to be distributed, the pairing code may further set a decoding key, after the terminal device 300 scans the pairing code, scan code information obtained by scanning the pairing code may be obtained, and perform decoding operation on the scan code information through the pre-stored decoding key, so as to obtain information of the authentication code, thereby improving security of the network device to be distributed.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 300 may convert the pairing code into a digital signal through an optical recognition technology and extract the authentication code information from the digital signal, in which the terminal device 300 may acquire the pairing code through the image acquisition interface and recognize the type of the pairing code, for example, the pairing code is a two-dimensional code or a bar code, and then recognize the shape of the pairing code and black-and-white bars and the like in the pairing code through an image processing recognition algorithm, so as to convert the pairing code into the digital signal according to the positions of the black-and-white bars to extract the authentication code information.

S300: and executing wireless communication scanning on the distribution network equipment within a first preset range according to the identification code information.

After the electronic device 200 receives the authentication code information, the controller 250 needs to search the to-be-configured network device according to the authentication code information, so as to establish a second communication channel with the to-be-configured network device through the second communication interface, thereby completing the configuration of the to-be-configured network device. In this embodiment, the controller 250 may perform scanning on the network device by means of wireless communication.

In some embodiments, the wireless communication may include bluetooth module, infrared scanning, radio or electromagnetic wave technologies, but different wireless communication technologies have different coverage scanning ranges, so the controller 250 may perform wireless communication scanning on the network device within a first preset range, where the first preset range is a coverage range of a communication mode with the largest wireless communication coverage range.

Because the scanning ranges covered by different wireless communication technologies are different, for the network distribution devices with the distance from the electronic device 200 smaller than the first distance, the scanning can be performed by using infrared scanning, electromagnetic wave and other technologies, for the network distribution devices with the distance from the electronic device 200 larger than the first distance, the scanning can be performed by using wireless communication technologies such as a bluetooth module, a radio and the like, and pairing can be performed on the network distribution devices around the electronic device 200 one by one through the scanning, so that the network distribution device to be matched is determined.

It should be noted that, the network devices are all the Matter devices, the Matter devices are provided with a communication device for being scanned by the electronic device 200, and when the Matter devices are in a working state or a standby state, the communication device may continuously send a communication signal to the outside, so that the electronic device 200 can perform scanning pairing on the communication signal.

In some embodiments, the controller 250 may detect the wireless communication operation state of the electronic device 200 according to the authentication code information transmitted by the terminal device 300, and if the wireless communication operation state is an inactive state, the controller 250 may switch the wireless communication operation state to an active state.

When the controller 250 detects that the wireless communication operation state is the start state, it starts to perform wireless communication scanning on the distribution network devices within the first preset range, and acquires the distribution network device information of the scanned distribution network device. In order to screen the network device to be paired among the network devices, the controller 250 may perform pairing on the network information through the authentication code information.

In order to facilitate pairing, as shown in fig. 6, the controller 250 may generate an equipment information table according to the scanned network allocation equipment information, when the first network allocation equipment information appears in the equipment information table, the controller 250 may start to perform pairing through the authentication code information, and in the pairing process, the controller 250 continuously performs wireless communication scanning on the network allocation equipment around the electronic equipment 200, and adds the network allocation equipment information to the equipment information table one by one, so as to save the time used for pairing and improve the network allocation efficiency.

The network distribution equipment information may include authentication code information of the network distribution equipment, and the controller 250 may compare the authentication code information of the network distribution equipment to be matched with authentication code information of other network distribution equipment, and if the authentication code information of the other network distribution equipment is the same as the authentication code information of the network distribution equipment to be matched, the pairing is successful.

In some embodiments, the controller 250 may record a first pairing duration of the electronic device 200 when the electronic device 200 performs a wireless communication device scan on the network device, and the controller 250 may pair the network device information according to the authentication code information within the first pairing duration.

In order to determine whether the electronic device 200 is a pairing failure, in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, a first time threshold may be set to assist in determining the pairing result. When the first pairing period exceeds the first time threshold, it is indicated that the controller 250 is not paired to a distribution network device having the same authentication code information within the first time threshold.

In some embodiments, since the controller 250 is also performing scanning on the network device and adding network device information during pairing, the first pairing period further includes a waiting period for the controller 250 to scan. For this, as shown in fig. 8, the controller 250 may also start recording the first pairing time period when the newly added network device information is paired, and re-perform timing of the first pairing time period when the network device information is newly added.

S400: and if the first scanning result is generated, establishing a second communication channel with the equipment to be distributed, and executing distribution network on the equipment to be distributed through the second communication channel.

When the controller 250 generates the first scan result, it is indicated that the network device information of the network device to be configured is obtained by scanning within the scan range of the electronic device 200, so the controller 250 may directly establish a second communication channel with the network device to be configured, where the wireless communication manner of the second communication channel and the first communication channel may be different, for example, the first communication channel is a wireless network connection, and the second communication channel is a bluetooth communication connection. After the controller 250 establishes the second communication channel with the to-be-configured network device, the to-be-configured network device may perform the network configuration through the second communication channel.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 200 may also acquire the authentication code information by inputting the authentication code, and the user may control the electronic device 200 to display an authentication code input box through the control apparatus 100 and input the authentication code information through a keyboard on the control apparatus 100 to cause the electronic device 200 to acquire the authentication code information.

When the controller 250 does not generate the first scan result, it indicates that the electronic device 200 fails to pair the network device to be configured, and at this time, the controller 250 generates the second scan result.

The second scan result is used to indicate that the electronic device 200 does not scan other network devices paired with the network device to be configured, and indicates that none of the other network devices located around the electronic device 200 are network devices to be configured. In some embodiments, to expand the scanning range of searching for the network device to be configured, after generating the second scanning result, the controller 250 may send the second scanning result to the terminal device 300, and after receiving the second scanning result, the terminal device 300 may start the wireless communication operation module of the terminal device 300, for example, start the bluetooth module of the terminal device 300, or the like.

When the terminal device 300 starts the bluetooth module, the terminal device 300 also has the capability of scanning the network distribution device, and at this time, the terminal device 300 can scan other network distribution devices in the second preset area through bluetooth communication, and acquire device information of the network distribution devices. The second preset area is the maximum wireless communication scanning coverage of the terminal device 300.

In some embodiments, the controller 250 may further generate a terminal scan instruction according to the second scan result, where the terminal scan instruction is used to instruct the terminal device 300 to start the wireless communication operation module, and the controller 250 may send the terminal scan instruction to the terminal device 300. The terminal device 300 starts the wireless communication operation module in response to the terminal scanning instruction, and starts to perform wireless communication scanning on the coverage area where the terminal device 300 is located.

Since the terminal device 300 is spaced from the electronic device 200 by a certain distance, the terminal device 300 can scan a range which is not scanned by the electronic device 200, so that a range of scanning the to-be-networked device is enlarged, and therefore, as shown in fig. 9, the terminal device 300 can acquire the networked device information outside the scanning range of the electronic device 200, and return the networked device information to the electronic device 200 as the networked feedback information corresponding to the terminal scanning instruction.

The controller 250, upon receiving the device information transmitted from the terminal device 300, may continue to add the device information transmitted from the terminal device 300 on the basis of the original device information table and continue to perform pairing on the device information.

In some embodiments, the first preset range and the second preset range may have overlapping scan areas, and when there is a network device in the overlapping scan areas, for convenience of description, the network device located in the overlapping scan areas is defined as an overlapping device in this embodiment. Both the electronic device 200 and the terminal device 300 can scan and acquire the network distribution device information of the overlapping device, thereby causing that the network distribution device information of the overlapping device is acquired for multiple times and reducing the network distribution efficiency.

For this purpose, as shown in fig. 10, after receiving the distribution network feedback information, the controller 250 may perform screening on the distribution network feedback information according to the distribution network device information in the device information table, where the distribution network feedback information may include one or more pieces of distribution network device information, and the controller 250 may acquire the distribution network device information in the current device information table and traverse the distribution network feedback information according to the distribution network device information in the current device information table. If the distribution network feedback information includes the existing distribution network device information in the device information table, it indicates that the distribution network device corresponding to the distribution network device information is a composite device, at this time, the controller 250 reserves the distribution network device information in the device information table, and deletes the distribution network device information of the composite device in the distribution network feedback information.

After screening, the controller 250 adds the distribution network equipment information which is not the overlapping equipment in the distribution network feedback information to the equipment information table, and meanwhile, the controller 250 performs pairing on the distribution network equipment information in the distribution network feedback information according to the identification code information, when the distribution network equipment information in the distribution network feedback information has the distribution network equipment information which is successfully paired, the controller 250 can mark the distribution network equipment corresponding to the distribution network equipment information which is successfully paired as the equipment to be distributed.

In some embodiments, the pairing may also be performed on the distribution network feedback information by the terminal device 300, and since the terminal device 300 has already performed scanning on the pairing code with the distribution network device, the terminal device 300 also includes the authentication code information, and for this purpose, the terminal device 300 may also perform the above-mentioned step of screening the distribution network feedback information for the overlapping device, and perform pairing on the distribution network device information in the distribution network feedback information by using the authentication code information.

After the terminal device 300 successfully pairs the network device information through the authentication code information, the controller 250 may send a network allocation instruction to the terminal device 300, so that the terminal device 300 establishes a wireless communication connection with the network device to be allocated, where the wireless communication connection may include a bluetooth communication connection. The terminal device 300 has already started the bluetooth communication module when scanning the network device information, and for this purpose, the terminal device 300 can directly send a bluetooth connection request to the network device to be configured, and wait for the network device to be configured to respond to the bluetooth connection request.

After receiving the bluetooth connection request, the network device to be configured can automatically determine the connection state of the network device to be configured, if the network device to be configured is establishing bluetooth communication connection with other devices, bluetooth communication connection cannot be established with the terminal device 300, at this time, the network device to be configured can feed back busy information to the terminal device 300, where the busy information is used to indicate that the network device to be configured is being connected with other devices, and the bluetooth communication connection is in a busy state. The busy information may further include device information of a device that is being connected to the device to be configured, a duration of establishing connection, etc., so that a user may obtain a current state of the device to be configured.

In some embodiments, since the volume of the terminal device 300 is small relative to the electronic device 200, the user may hold the terminal device 300 and move, and after the controller 250 generates the second scan result, the movement information may be sent to the terminal device 300 through the first communication channel, where the movement information may be displayed on the display of the terminal device 300, so as to prompt the user to move the terminal device 300 toward the network device to be paired with the network device to be paired.

In some embodiments, the controller 250 may further obtain, through the first communication channel, location information of the terminal device 300, and a distance between the terminal device 300 and the network device to be configured, where in the above process, the terminal device 300 may send a GPS location request to the server 400 to obtain location information of the terminal device 300 fed back by the server 400, and send the location information to the controller 250. The controller 250 may generate corresponding movement information according to the location information of the terminal device 300 and the location of the network device to be configured, so as to guide the user to move the terminal device 300 according to the corresponding movement information.

In some embodiments, the scanning range of the terminal device 300 may also change along with the movement of the terminal device 300 during the process of the mobile terminal device 300, so the controller 250 may generate a movement track of the terminal device 300 according to the positioning information of the terminal device 300 fed back by the server 400, and define a second preset range according to the movement track, where the second preset range is the maximum range scanned when the scanning coverage of the terminal device 300 moves according to the movement track. The controller 250 may control the terminal device 300 to obtain the distribution network device information within the second preset range according to the authentication code information.

In some embodiments, the controller 250 may also perform timing on the pairing time of the terminal device 300, record a second pairing time of the terminal device 300 through the first communication channel, and set a second time threshold to determine the pairing situation of the terminal device 300 because the device model of the terminal device 300 is different from the electronic device 200, when the second pairing time exceeds the second time threshold, it indicates that the terminal device 300 does not reach pairing with a network device within a second preset range, at this time, the terminal device 300 may generate a prompt message, where the prompt message is used to prompt that the terminal device 300 fails to pair within the second time threshold, and the content of the prompt message may be in a text or voice form, for example, "fails to pair, please retry later-! The terminal device 300 may send the prompt information to the electronic device 200 after generating the prompt information, and the electronic device 200 may re-execute pairing according to the prompt information after receiving the prompt information.
