Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 at the same time. FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a security device activation system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a device setting interface 112 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The security device activation system 100 includes an activation server 110 , a security host 120 and a security device 140 . Here, the number of security devices 140 is generally plural, but the present invention is not limited to this. The security host 120 is installed on the client by an operator, and after network setting, is connected to the activation server 110 . The activation server 110 stores the device configuration data about the security device 140 and provides the device setting interface 112 . The operator carries the activation operation device 130 , and the activation operation device 130 is connected to the activation server 110 via the network to display the device setting interface 112 . The operator can view the current setting status between the security host 120 and the security device 140 through the device setting interface 112 , and can edit the setting parameters of the security host 120 or the security device 140 by operating the device setting interface 112 (for example, adding, modification, deletion, etc.). The provisioning operation device 130 generates a configuration update in response to an operation of the device setting interface 112 . For example, the equipment setting interface 112 has an editable field, and the operator can operate the equipment setting interface 112 to input modification data in the editable field. The enabling operation device 130 generates configuration update data corresponding to the newly entered data in response to the operation of the device setting interface 112 . The provisioning server 110 updates the device configuration data according to the configuration update data.

After the operator confirms that all the data has been confirmed and edited, the device configuration data can be sent to the security host 120 by instructing the activation server 110 through the activation operation device 130 . The security host 120 receives device configuration data from the provisioning server 110 via the network, and can perform provisioning settings according to the device configuration data. The activation setting is, for example, but not limited to, parameter setting for the security host 120 or the security device 140 .

In some embodiments, the operator will pair the security host 120 with the security device 140 according to the device configuration data (such as the pairing sequence of the security device 140 ). The pairing may be wireless pairing, such as pairing through short-range wireless communication protocols, such as Bluetooth, Near-Field Communication (NFC), wireless hotspot (Wi-Fi), etc., so that the security host 120 can be connected and recognized Security device 140 .

For example, the operator operates and activates the equipment setting interface 112 displayed on the operation device 130 . For example, the operator edits the assembly position field (as shown in FIG. 2 ) according to the position of the security device 140 on the client, and edits the assembly position field in the assembly position field. Fill in the location information, that is, the location of the security device 140 on the client, such as the counter in the kitchen, the toilet in the bathroom, the upper right beam in the living room, and the window above the bedroom. The provisioning operation device 130 transmits the location information as configuration update data to the provisioning server 110 for the provisioning server 110 to update the device configuration data, so that the security host 120 can perform provisioning settings according to the updated device configuration data. For example, the location of the sprinkler recorded in the original equipment configuration data is set in the upper right corner of the living room. When it is difficult to install a sprinkler in a square corner, the operator will move the sprinkler to an appropriate position, for example, to the middle of the wall above the living room. At this time, the operator edits the assembly position field to fill in the position information in the assembly position field , such as filling in the middle of the wall above the living room. The activation operation device 130 sends the location information to the activation server 110, so that the activation server 110 can update the equipment configuration data, that is, for example, the position of the sprinkler recorded in the equipment configuration data is updated to be set in the middle of the wall above the living room, but Not limited to this.

For example, the device information to be configured can be the name of one or more security devices 140, such as camera 01, camera 02, sprinkler 01, sprinkler 02, etc. After the security host 120 is paired with the security device 140, it will The identifier of the security device 140 is bound to the corresponding information of the device to be configured, so that the name of each security device 140 corresponds to the identifier of a security device 140. For example, the device configuration data includes a comparison table, which records the information to be configured. Configure multiple security device names for device information and identifiers corresponding to these security device names. In some embodiments, the identifier may be parameters such as a factory serial number, a model, a Media Access Control (MAC) address, and the like.

In some embodiments, the security host 120 sends the identifier to the provisioning server 110 , and the provisioning server 110 updates the identifier to the device setting interface 112 for display on the provisioning operation device 130 . For example, the device setting interface 112 includes a new field (as shown in FIG. 2 ). When the security host 120 completes pairing with a security device 140 , it will send the identifier of the paired security device 140 to the activation server. 110. The activation server 110 updates the identifier to the newly added field of the equipment setting interface 112, so that the newly added field of the equipment setting interface 112 displayed by the operating device 130 can be activated to display the identifier, so that the operator can know that there are existing Which security device 140 has been paired with and the latest paired security device 140 is.

In some embodiments, the device configuration data defines a sequence of at least one to-be-configured device information, and the security host 120 associates the identifier of each security device 140 with each to-be-configured device according to the sequence and the pairing sequence of each security device 140 . Device information is associated one-to-one. In order to pair the security devices 140 with the security host 120 in sequence according to the device configuration data, the security host 120 will follow the order of the device information to be configured when the security host 120 performs the activation setting (for example, the information of the devices to be configured for the three cameras). The order is to start pairing from the smallest number, but not limited to this, and the pairing can be started from the largest number) and the pairing sequence of the security devices 140 (for example, the pairing sequence of the security device 140 and the security host 120 by the operator) ), and associate the identifier of the security device 140 with the information of each device to be configured one-to-one. Specifically, the security host 120 associates the identifier of the security device 140 with the information of each device to be configured in a one-to-one sequence. Binding, for example, taking three cameras as an example, the device information to be configured is camera 01, camera 02, and camera 03, respectively. The security host 120 will bind the identifier of the first paired camera to camera 01, and the second The identifier of the first paired camera is bound to the camera 02 and the identifier of the third paired camera is bound to the camera 03 , but not limited thereto.
