Preferred embodiment of the invention

The invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the features in the embodiments and the embodiments in the present application may be arbitrarily combined with each other.

Compared with the related art, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention performs unified management of the electronic lock by the network management server, and does not need to set a central control system for remotely controlling the electronic lock, which simplifies the management and maintenance process and saves management resources.

2 is a schematic flow chart of another method for controlling an electronic lock according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method of Figure 2 includes:

Step 201: The cloud terminal receives state switching information of the electronic lock sent by the network management server.

Step 202: The cloud terminal generates a state switching signal of the electronic lock according to the state switching information of the electronic lock.

Step 203: The cloud terminal sends a state switching signal of the electronic lock to the electronic lock.

The method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is further described below:

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a management system of an electronic lock according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 shows In the figure, the network management server, the cloud terminal, and the electronic lock are connected in sequence, wherein the network management server is connected to the cloud terminal through the gateway interface, and the cloud terminal is connected to the electronic lock through the network port.

In the above system, the state switching information of the electronic lock may be to open the electronic lock and close the electronic lock. The process for managing electronic locks is as follows:

The electronic lock is unlocked: the user specifies the cloud terminal on the display interface of the remote cloud terminal network management platform, clicks the unlock button, and then the network management server sends a command through the tr069 protocol to notify the cloud terminal device to perform the unlock operation; the cloud terminal device receives the network switch interface module. After the instruction, the network driver module is called to send the unlocked level signal to the network port through the physical layer network port protocol; the electronic lock receives the unlock level signal and then unlocks.

Electronic lockout: The user specifies the cloud terminal on the remote cloud terminal network management platform display interface, clicks the lock button, and then the network management server sends a command through the tr069 protocol to notify the cloud terminal device to perform the blocking operation; the cloud terminal device receives the network terminal interface module. After the instruction, the network driver module is called to send the blocked level signal to the network port through the physical layer network port protocol; the electronic lock receives the blocking level signal and then blocks.

Among them, the tr069 protocol is one of the technical specifications developed by the DSL (Digital Subscriber's Line) forum (www.dslforum.org), which is called "CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP)" where CPE is Customer Premise Equipment

Of course, the network management server can also interact with the cloud terminal to perform the state of the electronic lock, as described below:

The network management server receives the current state information of the electronic lock sent by the target cloud terminal; or receives the information that the state of the electronic lock sent by the target cloud terminal is successfully switched.

The cloud terminal sends the current state information of the electronic lock to the network management server; or, after receiving the information that the electronic lock feedback is successfully switched, the information about the successful state switching of the electronic lock is sent to the network management server.

Optionally, the electronic lock state feedback includes: the network management interface module of the cloud terminal periodically queries the current state of the electronic lock through the network port, and then reports the update to the network management server; and the cloud terminal device successfully sends the level signal to change the current state of the electronic lock. After the status, it will also report to the network management server to inform the electricity. The sublock state was successfully switched. After receiving the report message, the network management server updates the electronic lock status on the user interface.

It can be seen that, with the existing cloud terminal management platform, the control of the electronic lock can be completed by the user remotely operating the cloud terminal device, and the state of the electronic lock is also fed back to the user interface of the management platform through the cloud terminal device. Thereby, the cloud terminal is remotely controlled by the cloud terminal management system, and the switch of the electronic lock can be controlled and the state feedback of the electronic lock can be received through the RJ45 network port of the cloud terminal. The state of the electronic lock is sent through the cloud terminal, which facilitates the network management server to know the state of the electronic lock, facilitates remote control of the opening and closing of the electronic lock, and improves management efficiency.

Since the network management server itself occupies an IP address, the computer in the multimedia classroom also occupies an IP address. If the cloud terminal device and the network port connected to the electronic lock also occupy an IP address, the use of the IP address resource may be in short supply. In order to solve the above problem, the embodiment of the present invention provides a solution that the electronic lock is connected to the network port through a power line or a switch control line of the electronic lock.

For example, the power cable of the electronic lock is connected to the RJ45 network port of the cloud terminal. The network port is point-to-point communication. There is no need to configure an IP address. When the cloud terminal sends an unlock level signal through the RJ45 network port, the state of the electronic lock is controlled. On; when the blocking level signal is sent, the state of the electronic lock is controlled to be off. The current state of the electronic lock is also fed back to the cloud terminal through the RJ45 network port.

The network port mentioned here not only covers the RJ45 interface, but also includes the RJ45 compatible interface, and also includes the RJ11 interface.

It can be seen from the above that the electronic lock is connected to the network port through the power cable or the switch control line of the electronic lock, so that the electronic lock and the cloud terminal are point-to-point communication, and no IP address is required, which greatly reduces the occupation of the IP address and saves the number. Internet resources.

The cloud terminal involved in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to a dedicated cloud terminal device, but also includes a personal PC computer using cloud computing software technology and a device and system with local processing capability and remote management capability with dual network cards.
