detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Some embodiments, rather than all of the embodiments, are invented. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

An embodiment of the present application provides a method for managing a router, where the method can be applied to a control device, that is, an execution body of each step in the method for managing a router in the embodiment of the present application may be The control device described. In a specific implementation process, the control device may include a mobile phone, a PAD (tablet), a PC, a notebook computer, and the like. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific device of the control device, as long as the control device can run the first. The application is fine.

Referring to FIG. 1, a flow of a method for managing a router in an embodiment of the present application is described as follows.

Step 101: Determine that the router that matches the control device is the first router. The first application is run in the control device, and the information used to control the first router is input through the application interface of the first application.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first application may be run in the control device, and the information used to control the first router may be input through the application interface of the first application, that is, the user may directly pass the first application. Remote control of the first router.

For example, the first application may be referred to as a router application, and the specific program name of the first application may be determined by the developer. For example, the open manufacturer produces a router (assumed to be router 1), in order to increase the adaptability of the product, The developer can develop a router application corresponding to Router 1, which can facilitate the matching management of Router 1 and increase the adaptability of the product.

In practice, different users may control different routers by using the first application. For example, user A can control router 1 through the first application, user B can control router 2 through the first application, and the like, so In the application embodiment, it is necessary to first determine which router the router matching the control device is, for example, determine that the matching router is the first router, that is, the router that performs remote control by the first application by the control device is the first router.

When using the first application, you need to enter the login user name to log in. The login user name is, for example, a mobile phone number, a nickname, a mailbox, etc., and the login user name is unique, so that each user can be distinguished differently.

In a specific implementation process, the router that is bound to the login user name that is used to log in to the first application may be determined as the first router, and the router that is bound to the login user name is determined as the router that the control device needs to remotely control. That is to say, before the first router is remotely controlled, the first router may be bound first, for example, the device number of the first router may be directly input, or the router may be configured with device information including the device label before leaving the factory. The QR code picture, the user can directly scan the two-dimensional code picture through the camera to realize the binding to the first router, and the like.

Step 102: Send request connection information to the first router to request to establish with the first router. a wireless communication connection; wherein, after receiving the request connection information, the first router establishes a wireless communication connection with the control device through the wireless communication module in the first router.

In order to facilitate remote control of the first router, a wireless communication connection needs to be established with the first router. Therefore, after the first router is determined, the control device may send connection request information to the first router, because the first router is provided with The wireless communication module, after receiving the connection request information sent by the control device, the first router can establish a wireless communication connection with the control device based on the built-in wireless communication module, so that the wireless communication between the control device and the first router is completed. The establishment of the connection.

Step 103: Acquire, according to the wireless communication connection, the running status information of the first router by using the first application.

Further, in order to facilitate the remote control of the first router by the control device directly through the first application, after the wireless communication connection is established, the control device may acquire the running status information of the first router based on the wireless communication connection, specifically, The running status information of the first router may be obtained by using the first application, that is, after the control device obtains the running status information of the first router, the display may be directly displayed on the application interface of the first application, so that the user can intuitively As shown, the application interface of the first application acts as a visual interface between the control device and the first router, and the user views the running status information of the first router through the application interface of the first application. And the control operation for controlling the first router is also received through the application interface of the first application.

That is, the control device may establish a communication connection with the first router based on the wireless communication connection to obtain data directly from the first router, or may directly control the first router to implement the first application pair The first router performs the purpose of remote control.

After establishing a wireless communication connection with the first router, it may be determined whether the login user name of the first application is a member account, and if it is determined to be a member account, the member level may be further determined, for example, determined as the first member level. Because different membership levels may have different membership rights, for example, for low-level members, you can only enjoy the preferential treatment of removing advertisements when watching videos. For a series, you can only watch the first 10 episodes, while for high-level members, for high-level members, When watching a video, you can not only enjoy the preferential treatment of removing advertisements, but also select a higher quality source to watch, and for the same series, you can watch the first 20 episodes, and so on.

Further, all terminal devices currently connected to the first router may be determined according to the running state information of the first router, and the corresponding terminal device identifier may be determined. For example, determine Currently, there are M terminal devices connected to the first router, so that M terminal devices can be determined, and M terminal devices are all located in the local area network provided by the first router, for example, a home is currently using the first router. Mobile phones 1, mobile phones 2, laptops and PADs provided by the WI-FI network.

After obtaining the M terminal device identifiers of the M terminal devices, the control device may send the M terminal device identifiers to the content distribution server, for example, to the video content distribution server, and the content distribution server may open to the M terminal devices. The membership authority corresponding to a membership level, that is, if there is only a member account in a family, and the member account is bound to the first router, then all terminal devices connected to the first router can enjoy the corresponding member rights. Equivalent to a member can be shared by the whole family, which can improve the user experience.

Optionally, after determining all the terminal devices connected to the first router, a ratio of traffic usage is also separately set for each terminal device. For example, in a family, the male owner is watching the live broadcast of the game, the hostess is playing the QQ game, and the child is looking for the tutorial materials. Since the live broadcast consumes the most traffic, the search for the tutorial data consumes the least amount of traffic, so it can be The PC that the male owner watches the video allocates 70% of the traffic consumption ratio, allocates 20% of the traffic consumption ratio for the PAD of the hostess to play the game, and allocates 10% of the traffic consumption ratio for the laptop for the child to find the data. Guarantee the actual consumption demand of each user for traffic, and also limit the flow of the child to prevent the child from playing games or watching movies during the operation, which plays a role of supervision and restriction.

In practice, there may be a situation where the user sets a relatively complicated password for the wireless network provided by the first router, for example, a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers, and if the guest comes inside the guest, if the guest If you need to connect to a wireless network, users may not be able to remember complex passwords at a time, resulting in the inability to use the wireless network, or in some cases, users may not want to disclose their own passwords to protect privacy as much as possible. In this case, the user can set at least two connection modes for the first wireless network through the control device, for example, setting 2 or 3, and the like. Each connection mode can have a corresponding wireless network name. Take two connection modes as an example. For example, the first connection mode and the second connection mode are set. The wireless network name of the first connection mode is, for example, Host. The wireless network name of the second connection mode is, for example, Guest, that is, a host mode, a guest mode, and the login passwords of the two connection modes are different, and optional, in order to facilitate the fast connection to the wireless network. Network, you can set the login password in the guest mode as simple as possible, for example, set to 123, or do not set a password.

No matter which connection mode is available, it can be turned off at any time according to the actual needs of the user, or it can be set to be automatically turned off according to the specific time and/or period of the shutdown, that is, the sleep mousse can be set. For example, when the guest leaves, in order to prevent strangers from smashing the net, the guest mode can be turned off at this time, and in order to maintain the network connection state in the home, the owner mode can be controlled to be in a normally open state, and the password set by the owner mode is relatively complicated. So you can also avoid the network, or, in order to prevent children in the home from watching the video to affect the next day of learning, you can automatically turn off all connection modes after 11 o'clock every night.

In addition, the user can also control the emission intensity of the wireless signal of the first router through the control device according to the location.

For example, the first router is placed in the user's bedroom. In the evening, the user generally stays in the bedroom, that is, the distance from the first router is relatively close, and the first router can be controlled to transmit a lower-intensity wireless signal. This can not only ensure the normal use of the user, but also avoid other people in the vicinity to smash the network. At the same time, it can also reduce the large heat generated by the first router due to the transmission of high-power signals, saving power consumption, and also starting from the first router. To a certain degree of protection.

For example, in the daytime, every room in the home has the need to use a wireless network. In this case, in order to enable each user to obtain a wireless network with a strong signal, the first router can be controlled by the control device. Wireless signals to meet the needs of multiple users.

In the specific implementation process, the first router can be controlled and managed by the control device. The examples are not illustrated here. Any method that can control and manage the first router through the control device is Within the scope of protection of the present invention.
