Embodiment 2

This embodiment is based on the device connection method of the first embodiment, and further optimizes the device connection method of the first embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2, a flow chart of steps of a device connection method in Embodiment 2 of the present invention is shown.

In this embodiment, the device connection method of this embodiment is still described in the perspective of the server in the smart TV system architecture. The device connection method in this embodiment may specifically include the following steps:

Step 202: The server receives the request information reported by the client.

The request information is used to request to allocate a service providing device.

Step 204: The server determines, according to the request information, a service providing device that provides a service for the client.

In this embodiment, in order to ensure the security of the connection between the devices, the service providing device is not allocated to the malicious client. Preferably, the validity of the client may be determined before the step 204 is performed. If it is determined that the client is legal, the foregoing step 204 may be performed; if it is determined that the client is illegal (for example, a maliciously falsified client), the process may be directly ended, the risk connection is avoided, and the effective connection is effectively prevented. Leakage of user data (especially data related to user privacy).

The method for determining whether the client is legal is as follows: The server determines that the client is legal according to the client information of the client carried in the request information.

Preferably, the client information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following information: a random identifier (Key) for identifying the client, a random identification password (Secret) of the random identifier, and a device of the client. Address (Media Access Control address, MAC address, or physical address, hardware address) and timestamp (Time). Specifically, when it is determined that the client is legal, the client may be determined to be legal according to at least one of the random identifier, the random identifier password, the device address, and the timestamp; The at least one of the random identifier, the random identification password, the device address, and the timestamp respectively is consistent with the corresponding information stored locally, and then the client is determined to be legal.

For example, if the random identifier in the request information is consistent with the locally stored random identifier, the client may be determined to be legal; for example, if the random identifier password in the request information is consistent with the locally stored random identifier password, Then it can be determined that the client is legal. It should be noted that when the random identifier, the random identification password, the device address, and any information in the timestamp are inconsistent, the client is invalid.

Further preferably, the server may acquire the first verification information (Sign1) of the client, and then determine whether the obtained first verification information and the second verification information (Sign2) are consistent, and obtain a first determination result, and finally, according to the The first judgment result determines whether the client is legal. It should be noted that the first verification information may be verification information generated by the client according to at least one of the random identifier, the random identifier password, the device address, and the timestamp; The second verification information is verification information generated locally using the same generation manner as the first verification information.

For example, the first verification information Sign1 may be generated by the client according to a random identifier, a random identification password, a device address, and a timestamp stored in the client, such as: Sign1=MD5 (Key1+Mac1+Time1+Secret1), Key1, Secret1, Mac1, and Time1 respectively represent a random identifier, a random identification password, a device address, and a timestamp stored in the client. Then, correspondingly, the second verification information may be generated by the server according to the same rule according to the random identifier, the random identifier password, the device address, and the timestamp stored in the server, for example, Sign2=MD5(Key2+Mac2+Time2+Secret2), where , Key2, Secret2, Mac2, and Time2 can respectively represent a random identifier, a random identification password, a device address, and a timestamp stored locally on the server. If Sign1 = Sign2, it can be determined that the client is legal.

Step 206: The server sends the device information of the determined service providing device to the client, and notifies the determined service providing device to acquire user data that matches the client.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the connection between the client indicated by the device information and the determined service providing device according to the device information may be directly connected, that is, The determined service providing device can directly provide the client with the service based on the obtained user data.

In a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the connection between the determined service provider and the determined service providing device according to the device information may be a pre-connection and a determined service. The providing device has not served the client based on the obtained user data. In order to ensure the security of the smart television system, after the pre-connection is established, the determined service providing device may first determine the client and the service before providing the service to the client based on the obtained user data. Providing a connection request between the devices (the connection request may be used to request to establish a connection with the determined service providing device), and if the connection request is legal, the determined service providing device is based on the obtained User data is officially served to the client.

Among them, a feasible method for judging whether the connection request is legal may be as follows:

First, the server receives the verification request reported by the determined service providing device, where the verification request is used to request whether to verify whether the connection request between the client and the determined service providing device is legal.

Then, the server determines, according to the verification request, whether the connection request between the client and the determined service providing device is legal, and obtains a second determination result;

Finally, the server sends the second determination result to the determined service providing device.

In this embodiment, the verification request includes, but is not limited to, including at least one of the following: a uniquely unique identifier (UUID), a random token (Token) of the determined service providing device, And a random identifier of the client; wherein the unique identifier is used to uniquely identify the determined service providing device.

Further preferably, in this embodiment, the server may determine, according to the determined at least one of a unique identifier of the service providing device, a random token, and a random identifier of the client, the client and the The determined connection request between the service providing devices is legal, and the second judgment result is obtained.

For example, if UUID1=UUID2, it can be determined that the connection request is legal; if Token1=Token2, it can be determined that the connection is legal. The UUID1 and the UUID2 may respectively refer to a unique identifier (which may be, but is not limited to, carried in the verification request) and a unique identifier stored locally by the server; Token1 and Token2 may refer to the service providing device respectively. The reported random token (which may be, but is not limited to, carried in the verification request) and a random token stored locally by the server. It should be noted that when any of the unique identification code, the random token, and the random identifier are inconsistent, it may be determined that the connection request is invalid.

In a preferred solution of the embodiment, in order to ensure the stability of the smart television system, the device connection method may further include the following step 208:

Step 208: The server acquires the status information of the determined service providing device.

In this embodiment, the status information may be used to indicate the working status of the determined service providing device, thereby preventing the determined service providing device from being allocated to other clients by the server, and ensuring the smart television system. Reliability and stability.

It should be noted that the random identifier described in this embodiment and/or the random identifier password matching the random identifier may be generated by the server when the client requests registration from the server.

The method for generating the random identifier and/or the random identifier password matching the random identifier may be as follows: the server receives a registration request of the client; the server allocates one for the client to store the a user partition of the user data corresponding to the client, and generating, according to the registration request, the client A matching random identifier and/or a random identification password matching the random identifier; the server saves and sends the generated random identifier and/or random identification password to the client. Preferably, in order to ensure the reliability and security of the assigned random identifier and/or the random identification password, the server may generate the random identifier and/or the random identifier by using a random generation mode, so that even if the same is delivered The client information, the random identifier and/or the random identification password obtained each time is also different, and the random identification and/or the random identification password are prevented from being maliciously obtained, thereby providing the security of the smart television system. Of course, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the random identifier and/or the random identifier password can be generated in any suitable manner, which is not limited in this embodiment. Further preferably, the foregoing random token in the embodiment may be, but is not limited to, a server randomly receiving the request information reported by the client, determining that the service providing device that provides the service for the client is randomly generated, and generating the random order. The card is saved locally and the generated random token is sent to the client.

In summary, the device connection method according to the embodiment, when the client needs the service resource, the server allocates an appropriate service providing device to the client according to the request information reported by the client for requesting the distribution of the service providing device. The service providing device is located on the network side, and the service providing device can provide services for the client. Further, the server transmits the device information of the service providing device to the client, and notifies the service providing device to acquire the user data that matches the client. The device information is used to instruct the client to establish a connection with the service providing device according to the device information. After receiving the device information of the service providing device, the client can connect to the service providing device on the network side according to the device information. Because the service providing device has acquired the user data corresponding to the client, it can effectively provide services for the client. It can be seen that, by using the device connection method in this embodiment, the device that provides services for the terminal is implemented by the service providing device on the network side, and the terminal only needs to have basic decoding function, and can obtain the service from the network side, and no longer depends on or is subject to the system. In the digital video converter box. Further, in the device connection scheme of the present application, the client can connect to the service providing device according to the device information of the service providing device and accept the service provided by the service providing device, thereby realizing effective interaction between the client and the server, ie, the service providing device. In addition, the service providing device can provide services to the user according to the obtained user data matched with the client, thereby greatly improving the user experience.

Further, the method for connecting the device according to the embodiment may determine that the client is legal according to the request information reported by the client, and determine the distribution of the service providing device after determining that the client is legal, and determine a service providing device; further Before the client is formally connected with the determined service providing device, the validity of the connection request for requesting connection between the client and the determined service providing device may be determined. In this embodiment, Multiple judgments determine that the security of the connection between the client and the service providing device is ensured, the access of the illegal client is avoided, the security of the smart television system is improved, and the leakage of user data information is avoided.

Example 7

In this embodiment, a smart television system may be employed: the smart television system may include at least one client, at least one dispatch server, and at least one service providing device. The client is a terminal that can use the APP application provided by the service providing device, such as a set top box, a smart mobile terminal, a PAD (Portable Android Device tablet), a smart TV with a decoding function, and the like. The service providing device can be set as a server in the cloud to remotely provide services for the client. After receiving the request of the client to apply for the service providing device, the scheduling server may select one of the plurality of service providing devices in the cloud to allocate to the client according to the set allocation policy.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the service providing device can be set in the cloud as a hardware device, the software (application) can be installed in the service providing device, and the service providing device can be used in the cloud to set the user interface of various applications. (User Interface, UI) for compression coding, the client needs to have basic decoding capabilities to present the user interface of the application to the user, and to operate on various applications. In other words, unlike the conventional smart television system, in the embodiment, the software (application) may not be installed in the set top box, may be installed in the service providing device, and provide services to the user through the service providing device. . Since the software can no longer be installed in the set top box, the set top box can no longer be set separately. For example, if the client is a smart mobile terminal or a smart TV with a decoding function, the smart mobile terminal (or a smart TV with decoding function) can be directly connected to the service providing device, and the user does not need to Separate purchase/setting of set-top boxes, saving users At the same time, the intelligent mobile terminal (or the smart TV with decoding function) directly interacts with the service providing device, which improves the interaction efficiency, reduces the maintenance steps for the set top box, and reduces the occupation of resources. Of course, for existing set top boxes, which have basic decoding capabilities, the solution of the present invention still applies. Further, the scheduling server may refer to a server, or may refer to a server group composed of multiple servers equivalent to the scheduling server function.

And other functions. After the user selects an icon or menu of a certain function, the user can continue to enter the corresponding UI interface to perform operations, such as local or network resources when playing HD video.

For the UI interface displayed by the client, the user can control through the external device of the remote controller, such as selecting a certain function and entering the next level interface, and the UI interface is displayed based on the transport stream of the service providing device. Therefore, the control response to the UI interface is also performed by the service providing device. In this embodiment, after establishing a connection with the client, the service providing device virtualizes an input device in the user space, simulates a hardware input signal through the virtual input device, and injects an input signal of the user into the system to input an event and distribute the image, thereby realizing The service provides the device's response to user control.

In this embodiment, an architecture of a preferred smart television system is shown in FIG. 7. Referring to FIG. 7, an architecture diagram of a smart television system in Embodiment 7 of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, the smart television system may specifically include: at least one device server (such as the device server 701 shown in FIG. 7), at least one scheduling server (such as the scheduling server 702 shown in FIG. 7), and at least one client. End (client 703 shown in Figure 7). Each device server includes at least one service providing device (such as the service providing device 704 in the device server 701 shown in FIG. 7).

Moreover, preferably, the smart television system may further include: at least one management server (such as the management server 705 shown in FIG. 7) and at least one user data storage device (such as the user data storage device 706 shown in FIG. 7). It should be noted that the user data storage device is used to store user data, and one user may correspond to a dedicated user data storage device, and multiple users may share the same user data storage device, which is not limited in this embodiment. The user data storage device may be a physical device, a logical device, or a combination of physical and logical devices. For example, the user data storage device may include at least one user partition (such as the user partition 707 shown in FIG. 7), and each user partition corresponds to storing user data of one user.

In this embodiment, the client 703 may be a hardware device as described above, such as a set top box, a smart mobile terminal, a PAD, a smart TV with a decoding function, and the like. Preferably, the client 303 may also be in the form of a smart TV terminal, which may be presented in the form of an APP (Application) installed in the smart TV terminal. The smart TV terminal herein may specifically include: a set top box and a mobile terminal. , smart TV, etc. In one aspect, the client 703 can be used to play a user interface parsed by a transport stream (TS) sent by the service providing device 304, and play multimedia data (such as video signals, audio signals, etc.) acquired from other network servers. On the other hand, the client 703 can be used to listen to an input message generated by the user through an input device such as a remote controller, and send the input message to the service providing device 704 or the dispatch server 702. Thus, the user interface displayed by the client 703 is pushed by the service providing device 704, the client 703 only parses and displays, and the input message controlled by the client 703 to the user interface is also forwarded to the service providing device 704 to enable It adjusts the user interface accordingly.

The service providing device 704 is located at the network side, and each of the service providing devices may specifically include: a software module carried by the hardware board and the hardware board. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, various types of applications may be directly installed in the service providing device, and the user may perform the application in the service providing device 704 through the user interface corresponding to the application displayed by the client 703. In the operation, it is no longer necessary to separately install the application in the client 703, so that the technician can perform unified maintenance on the smart television system, thereby reducing the workload and improving the maintenance efficiency.

The user partition 707 is located on the network side. Generally, each user applies a user partition, and user data of each user is saved under the corresponding user partition. Further, each user partition has a unique address information, and the address information may indicate a specific address of the corresponding user partition, and the user information may be quickly found through the address information to complete the call of the user data. In other words, the dispatch server 702 (or the management server 705) can perform maintenance only on address information (small data amount) without maintaining the entire user data (large amount of data), reducing the amount of data maintained. , reducing the resource occupation, improving the system running speed, and the data is easy to find.

The scheduling server 702 is located on the network side, and is mainly configured to allocate an idle, good-quality service providing device 304 to the client 703 according to the request message sent by the client 703. At the same time, the user partition corresponding to the user ID can be mounted to The assigned service providing device 704, that is, each user partition may correspond to a unique user ID, such as user partition A corresponding to user A, etc., such that user A is at client 703 with the last assigned, After the service provider device with the number 001 is disconnected, even if the service provider device with the number 002 is connected next time, the user A can still use the user partition A, and can use data such as the previous history.

The management server 705 is located on the network side and can be used to manage all service providing devices. The body may include: status reporting, heartbeat management, setting attributes, obtaining attributes, network wake-up, soft restart, hard restart, etc.; it can be seen that the management server 705 can be used as a remote server to implement the service providing device in the wide area network by using the technical solution of the present invention. Wake on the network.

It should be noted that the device connection method described in this embodiment can be applied to the smart television system based on FIG. However, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that any system or server that requires a device connection may refer to the solution for implementing device connection in this embodiment, and is not limited to the application scenario in the foregoing architecture.

In this embodiment, in the smart television system, the service providing device adopts a reusable mechanism, that is, one service providing device serves to continue servicing another client after the client resets. That is, after the service providing device establishes a connection with the client, the two are the only corresponding interaction relationship, and when the completion of the service is disconnected, the service providing device does not have a direct correspondence with the client, but waits for the system to be It allocates other clients. Therefore, the service providing device can serve one client at a time, and if the service providing device is not used for a set length of time, it will enter a power-saving sleep state.

Based on the above characteristics of the service providing device, several states can be set for the service providing device for management allocation:

The Idle state, that is, the idle state, the service providing device system in this state can be directly allocated to the required client;

The Busy state, that is, the busy state, the service providing device in this state has been connected to the client and is in the service client, and can no longer be allocated;

The sleep state, that is, the sleep state, when the service providing device having no redundant idle state in the system can be allocated, the system can wake up the service providing device in the state to allocate it to the client;

The Exception state, that is, the exception state, in which the allocation cannot be made;

The management state, that is, the management state, indicates that the service providing device is in the server management state and cannot be allocated.

With reference to the foregoing embodiments, the present embodiment uses the interaction between the server, the client, and the service providing device in the smart TV system architecture as an example to describe the device connection method in this embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 8, a flow chart of steps of a device connection method in Embodiment 7 of the present invention is shown. The device connection method in this embodiment may specifically include the following steps:

Step 802: The server receives the registration request of the client, allocates a corresponding data partition (Userdata) to the client, and generates a random identifier (Key) and a random identification password (Secret) matching the Key.

In this embodiment, the registration request includes, but is not limited to, a device address of the client, model information of the client, and the like. The server may randomly assign the random identifier to the client according to the device address and/or model information. And a random identification password.

Step 804: The server sends the generated random identifier and the random identification password to the client.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, for convenience of description, the device address saved in the client may be recorded as Mac1, and the random identifier and the random identification password respectively sent by the server to the client and stored in the client respectively. Recorded as Key1 and Secret1.

The device address received by the server and stored locally on the server is recorded as Mac2, and the random identifier and random identification password generated by the server and stored locally on the server are recorded as Key2 and Secret2, respectively.

Step 806: The server receiving the client sends request information for requesting the distribution of the service providing device, and determining, according to the request information, whether the client is legal.

In this embodiment, Key1, Secret1, and Mac1 saved locally by the client may be sent to the server along with the request information.

Preferably, it can be determined whether the Key1 is consistent with the Key2 saved locally by the server. If not, the client is determined to be illegal, and the process ends; if they are consistent, the client can be determined to be legal.

Further, in order to provide the accuracy of the determination result, after determining that Key1 and Key2 are consistent, it may further continue to determine whether the first verification information is consistent with the second verification information: if the first verification information is consistent with the second verification information, Then, it can be determined that the client is legal; otherwise, it is determined that the client is illegal, and the process ends. The first verification information (Sign1) may be, but is not limited to, determined as follows: Sign1=MD5 (Key1+Secret1+Mac1+Time1); then, the second verification may be determined in the same manner: Sign2=MD5(Key2) +Secret2+Mac2+Time2). The Time can be the timestamp (current time) when the client sends the request information to the server. The time saved locally by the client is recorded as Time1, and the time stored in the server is recorded as Time2.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the comparison of the random identifier (the comparison between Key1 and Key2) and the comparison of the verification information (the comparison between Sign1 and Sign2) have no inevitable sequence, and may be any appropriate Execute sequentially.

In this embodiment, after the server determines that the client is legal, the following steps may be continued:

Step 808: The server selects a service providing device with service capability from the plurality of service providing devices in the smart television terminal to provide the client with the service according to the request information.

Step 810: The server acquires the device information of the determined service providing device, and generates a random token, and notifies the determined service providing device to acquire user data that matches the client.

It should be noted that the random token generated by the server each time is time-sensitive and can be used to determine the client and the client. Whether the determined connection of the service providing device is valid. Generally, each time the server receives the request information reported by the client, the random token can be dynamically generated. In other words, the random token generated by the server each time can be different.

Step 812: The server sends the obtained device information of the determined service providing device and the generated random token to the client.

In this embodiment, the determined device information of the service providing device may include: the determined service providing device's IP (Internet Protocol), port address, and unique identifier. Wait.

As described above, for convenience of description, in the present embodiment, the unique identification code and the random token to be transmitted and stored in the client are respectively recorded as UUID1 and Token1; the unique identification code and random token stored in the server locality. Recorded as UUID2 and Token2 respectively.

Step 814: The client generates a connection request according to the device information, to request to establish a connection with the determined service providing device.

Step 816: The determined service providing device generates an authentication request according to the connection request, and sends the verification request to the server, to request the server to verify whether the connection request is legal according to the verification request.

In this embodiment, the client may send the locally stored Key1, Token1, and UUID1 in the connection request to the service providing device, and the determined service providing device receives the client. After the connection request is sent, the corresponding information can be extracted from the connection request and saved. The various types of information stored in the determined service providing device may be respectively recorded as Key3, Token3, and UUID3.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the verification request generated by the determined service providing device may carry the foregoing information: Key3, Token3, and UUID3. The server may verify the validity of the connection request according to the verification request: if Key3=Key2, Token3=Token2, and UUID3=UUID2, it may be determined that the connection request is legal, and any one of the entries is inconsistent. It is determined that the connection request is illegal.

In a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, if the Token3 matches the Token2, the connection between the client and the determined service providing device may be effectively connected. In a feasible solution, after determining whether Token3 and Token2 match, after determining that Token3 matches Token2, that is, determining that the connection between the client and the determined service providing device is valid, further Determine whether Key3 and Key2 match, and whether UUID3 and UUID2 match.

In order to improve the accuracy of the verification, it can be verified based on the MD5 encryption algorithm. For example, a feasible method for verifying based on the MD5 encryption algorithm can be as follows:

The server may determine the first verification information Salt1 according to the data information in the service providing device, where Salt1 may be determined as follows: Salt1=MD5 (Secret3+UUID3+(Random_num+1)); correspondingly, the server may The locally saved data information determines the second verification information Salt2, wherein Salt2 can be determined as follows: Salt2 = MD5 (Secret2+UUID2+(Random_num+1)). If Salt1 matches Salt2, it is determined that the connection between the client and the determined service providing device is legal. The Secret3 may be a random identification password sent by the client to the determined service providing device. Random_num may be a random number randomly generated by the server, the generated random number may be saved in the server, and the server sends the generated random number to the client, and the client sends the determined number to the determined Service delivery equipment.

In this embodiment, after the server determines that the connection request is legal, the following steps may be continued:

Step 818: The server sends indication information to the determined service providing device, indicating that the connection request is legal.

Step 820: After determining the indication information, the determined service providing device establishes a connection with the client in response to the connection request sent by the client, and based on the acquired user data matching the client. Said client provides services.

In this embodiment, after determining the indication information indicating that the connection request is legal, the determined service providing device may establish a formal connection with the client, in response to the connection request sent by the client, with the client. The interaction is performed: for example, the determined service providing device may obtain a user interface cache from the local cache, encode the user interface buffer to generate a corresponding TS stream, and then send the TS stream to the client, so that the client displays The corresponding UI interface.

Step 822: The determined service providing device configures the state of the device as the working state, and generates state information indicating the working state, and reports the state information to the server.

Hereinafter, based on the above description in this embodiment, the device connection scheme of the present application will be described in the form of a specific example from the perspective of the overall process of data interaction. As shown in FIG. 9, a process of data interaction in a smart television system in this embodiment is shown. As can be seen from FIG. 9, the smart television system in this example includes at least a client, a service providing device, and a server (eg, Can be a scheduling server). The interaction process can include:

Step S10: The client sends a registration request to the server, where the registration request carries at least the MAC address information of the client.

Step S20: The server receives the registration request of the client, generates a pair of key/secret (that is, the random identifier and the random identification password of the client) for the client, and records the correspondence between the client information and the key/secret in the database. in.

Each time the client registers, it will generate different key/secret (even if the information carried in the registration request is the same), so that even if the hacker or illegal user simulates someone else's client to register, the client's key/secret is not obtained, which is convenient. The server determines that it is a different or illegal client.

Step S30: The server sends the key/secret to the client.

Step S40: The client saves the key/secret returned by the server, and saves it as key1/secret1.

Through the above steps S10-S40, the registration of the client to the server is realized.

Step S50: The client generates sign1 (for verifying whether the client is legal) according to key1, secret1, mac1 (that is, the locally saved mac address), and time1 (that is, the locally generated timestamp). When the client needs to request the service providing device from the server, the client generates request information according to key1, mac1, sign1, and time1.

Step S60: The client sends request information to the server, where the request information carries key1, mac1, sign1, and time1.

Step S70: The server receives the request information sent by the client, and verifies whether the key1 exists locally in the server.

If it does not exist, the request information is considered to be an illegal request.

If it exists, use the key1 to find the corresponding secret and mac saved in the server, and find the secret and mac as secret2 and mac2; verify whether sign1 and sign2 are consistent, where sign2 is determined by the server according to key1, mac2, secret2 and time1 , generated by the same algorithm as the client generates sign1. If sign1 and sign2 do not match, it is determined that the request information is an illegal request; if sign1 and sign2 are consistent, step S80 is performed.

Step S80: The server selects an idle service providing device for the client (the UUID of the service providing device is recorded as UUID1).

Step S90: The server allocates the selected service providing device to the client, and generates a token1, a random number random1, and a salt1 for the client. Among them, token1 is a string of random strings, which can be about 32 bits in length but not limited to 32 bits. A certain algorithm, such as md5, encrypts a string to generate a value of salt: such as salt=MD5(secret+uuid1+ Random1) is stored in the server and recorded as salt1; the server records the correspondence between key1, uuid1, token1, and salt1, and is not permanently saved (for example, it will expire after a certain period of time, such as more than 5 minutes).

Step S100: The server returns uuid1, token1, random1, and the IP address of the service providing device and the PORT to the client.

Through the above steps S50-S100, the server is configured to allocate a service providing device for the client.

Step S110: The client generates the salt2 by using the same algorithm as the server.

In addition, the client saves the received token1 locally and records it as token2.

Step S120: The client sends a connection request to the service providing device, where the connection request carries token2, key2, and salt2.

Key2 is the client's own key, key2=key1, and salt2=MD5(secret1+uuid1+random1). That is, the client locally generates the salt2 using the same algorithm as the server.

Step S130: The service providing device receives the connection request, obtains corresponding information therefrom, and determines whether to request the server to determine whether the connection requested by the connection request is legal.

Step S140: The service providing device sends a verification request to the server, where the verification request carries the token2, the key2, the salt2, and the uuid of the service providing device itself.

Step S150: The server verifies whether the connection requested by the connection request is legal.

Including: the server verifies the locally saved key1, uuid1, token1, and salt1, and is consistent with the key2, uuid, token2, and salt2; if not, the connection requested by the connection request is considered illegal; if they are consistent, the connection request is considered The requested connection is legal.

Step S160: The server returns the verification result to the service providing device.

Through the above steps S110-S160, the server verifies the validity of the connection between the client and the service providing device.

Step S170: If the service providing device determines that the connection requested by the connection request is legal according to the verification result, establish a connection with the client, and send a ts stream to the client; otherwise, disconnect the client.

In summary, the device connection method according to the embodiment, when the client needs the service resource, the server allocates an appropriate service providing device to the client according to the request information reported by the client for requesting the distribution of the service providing device. The service providing device is located on the network side, and the service providing device can provide services for the client. Further, the server transmits the device information of the service providing device to the client, and notifies the service providing device to acquire the user data that matches the client. The device information is used to instruct the client to establish a connection with the service providing device according to the device information. After receiving the device information of the service providing device, the client can connect to the service providing device on the network side according to the device information. Because the service providing device has acquired the user data corresponding to the client, it can effectively provide services for the client. It can be seen that, by using the device connection method in this embodiment, the device that provides services for the terminal is implemented by the service providing device on the network side, and the terminal only needs to have basic decoding function, and can obtain the service from the network side, and no longer depends on or is subject to the system. In the digital video converter box. Further, in the device connection scheme of the present application, the client can connect to the service providing device according to the device information of the service providing device and accept the service provided by the service providing device. Therefore, the effective interaction between the client and the server as the service providing device is realized. Further, the service providing device can provide services to the user according to the obtained user data matched with the client, thereby greatly improving the user experience.
