The character "/" generally indicates that the contextual object is an "or" relationship.

Embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

According to an aspect of the present invention, a method for switching a power saving mode of an Internet of Things terminal is provided. The method is applied to the object network architecture shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the object network architecture includes: a gateway 10, multiple access points 20, and an Internet of Things connected to the access point 20. Terminal 30 and medium The relay 40 is an Internet of Things terminal 50 connected to the repeater 40. The Internet of Things terminal 50 is connected to the repeater 40 in a wireless manner, and the repeater 40 and the Internet of Things terminal 30 are connected to the access point 20 in a wireless manner, and the access point 20 is connected to the gateway 10 through a wireless or wired manner. Internet, the above wireless methods include but are not limited to: Bluetooth, WIFI, ZigBee, GPRS, 3G, 4G, Wimax and other methods. In Fig. 1, the wired mode is taken as an example, and for convenience of representation, only one solid line is shown here.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method for switching a power saving mode of an Internet of Things terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, and an execution body of a method for switching a power saving mode of an Internet of Things terminal is the present invention. The switching device of the power saving mode of the Internet of Things terminal (the switching device of the power saving mode of the Internet of Things terminal may be an access point or a repeater), and the following is an example in which the execution subject is a repeater, including the following step:

S201: Whether the running state of the Internet of Things terminal carried by the repeater meets the power saving triggering condition.

S202. If it is detected that the operating state of the Internet of Things terminal i carried by the repeater meets the K power-saving triggering conditions corresponding to the Internet of Things terminal i, the repeater controls the switching of the Internet of Things terminal i Up to a power saving mode corresponding to one of the K power saving triggering conditions, the repeater is connected to the N sets of Internet of Things terminals, and the N sets of the Internet of Things terminal sets correspond to N types, each The set of IoT terminals respectively corresponds to at least one power saving trigger condition, the N being an integer greater than 1, and the K being a positive integer.

The N types are N types of data to be sent; or the N types are N function types; or the N types are N working property types, and so on.

The foregoing step S201 may be that the access point periodically detects whether the running state of the Internet of Things terminal connected to the access point meets the power saving triggering condition, for example, may be detected once every minute.

For example, suppose that there are 100 IoT terminals carried by the repeater, N=3, M=2, and there are 3 types in the networking range (such as the first type, the second type, and the third type), 3 Group IoT terminal set (such as IoT terminal set 1, IoT terminal set 2 and IoT terminal set 3), 3 sets of IoT terminal sets are based on these 3 types, and 3 sets of IoT terminal sets correspond to 2 The power-saving trigger condition (for example, the Internet of Things terminal set 1 corresponds to the first power-saving trigger condition and the second power-saving trigger condition, and the Internet of Things terminal set 2 corresponds to the third power-saving trigger condition and the fourth power-saving trigger condition, and the Internet of Things terminal set 3 corresponds to the fifth power-saving trigger condition and the sixth power-saving trigger condition), when the repeater detects the object link When the operating state of an IoT terminal in the network terminal set 1 satisfies the first power saving trigger condition and/or the second power saving trigger condition, the access point controls the switching of the certain IoT terminal to the first power saving trigger condition. The power saving mode corresponding to the power saving mode or the second power saving triggering condition. It can be seen that by setting the switching trigger condition of the power saving mode of each Internet of Things terminal in advance, when the operating state of the Internet of Things terminal satisfies the power saving trigger condition, the IoT terminal is controlled to switch the power saving mode, thereby improving the service life of the Internet of Things terminal. .

It should be noted that the operating state of the Internet of Things terminal usually has a data receiving state, a data sending state, a standby state, a sleep state, and the like. The above step S201 detects the running state of the Internet of Things terminal carried by the repeater, where the operation of the Internet of Things terminal is detected within a certain period of time (such as 23 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, or other values). status.

For example, it is assumed that the first power-saving trigger condition of the Internet of Things terminal set 1 is that the average standby time of the Internet of Things terminal is within a first preset duration, and the average receiving/transmitting duration of the Internet of Things terminal is within a second preset duration, such as The average waiting time of the IoT terminal is within 10 minutes, and the average receiving/sending time of the IoT terminal is within 3 minutes. The power saving mode corresponding to the first power saving trigger condition may be that the IoT terminal sleeps every 7 minutes, and the sleep time is 8 minutes, if the operating state of an IoT terminal in the IoT terminal set 1 satisfies the first power saving trigger condition, the repeater controls the IoT terminal to switch to sleep every 7 minutes, each sleep time It is an 8 minute power saving mode.

For example, it is assumed that the first power-saving trigger condition of the Internet of Things terminal set 1 is that the average standby duration of the Internet of Things terminal is within a first preset duration, and the average receiving/transmitting duration of the Internet of Things terminal is within a second preset duration. For example, the average standby time of the IoT terminal is within 10 minutes, and the average receiving/sending time of the IoT terminal is within 3 minutes. The power saving mode corresponding to the first power-saving trigger condition may be that the IoT terminal sleeps every 7 minutes, each sleep period For 8 minutes, it is assumed that the IoT terminal set 1 corresponds to the second power saving trigger condition that the IoT terminal standby time exceeds the third preset duration, and the IoT terminal receiving/transmitting time exceeds the fourth preset duration, such as the IoT terminal standby time If the IoT terminal receives/sends more than 3 minutes, the power-saving mode corresponding to the second power-saving trigger condition may be that the IoT terminal sleeps every 10 minutes, and each sleep time is 6 minutes, if the IoT terminal Repeater control when the operating state of an IoT terminal in set 1 satisfies the first power-saving trigger condition and the second power-saving trigger condition Things to switch to a terminal dormancy once every 7 minutes, each time the sleep period of 8 minutes the power saving mode, or a repeater for controlling the switching network terminal thereof to sleep once every 10 minutes, The power saving mode is 6 minutes each time it sleeps.

Optionally, the at least one power-saving trigger condition corresponding to each set of the Internet of Things terminals is set by the user through the human-machine interaction interface of the repeater for the N-group of Internet of Things terminals. That is to say, at least one power-saving trigger condition corresponding to each set of the Internet of Things terminal sets is user-defined.

Optionally, the N types are determined according to an average time difference and a first threshold of two uplink uplink data uploaded by each IoT terminal carried by the repeater in the first time period, where the same type is used. The difference between the average time difference of the uplink data of two adjacent IOT terminals is less than or equal to the first threshold.

The starting point of the first time period is the current system time, and the duration of the first time period may be, for example, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 10 hours, 1 day, or other values.

The first threshold may be, for example, 1 minute, 1 minute and a half, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or other values.

The average time difference between the uplink data of each IoT terminal is uploaded twice. For example, if an IoT terminal uploads 10 uplink data in the first time period, the time of uploading the uplink data is 10 times. There are: 10:32:00, 10:35:15, 10:38:15, 10:42:20, 10:43:15, 10:45:35, 10:49:45, 10:53:10, 10:55:50, 10:58:00, then the time difference between two uploading uplink data is: 3:15s, 3:00s, 4:05s, 0:55s, 2:20s, 4:10s, 2 : 25s, 2:40s, 2:10s, then the average time difference between two uplink uploads is 2:46s.

The difference between the average time difference of the uplink data of the two uplink IOTs of the same type is less than or equal to the first threshold, that is, the uplink data of two adjacent uploads in the same type. The IoT terminal with the smallest average time difference and the average time difference between the two uplink uploading data can not exceed the first threshold.

For example, suppose the first threshold = 2 minutes, and there are 10 IoT terminals carried by the repeater (such as the Internet of Things terminal 1, the Internet of Things terminal 2, the Internet of Things terminal 3, the Internet of Things terminal 10). The average time difference between two uplink IOTs uploading uplink data is: 1:00, 1:15, 2:15, 2:35, 3:10, 3:55, 4:00, 4:55, 6 : 15, 6:35. It can be seen that the types corresponding to the 10 Internet of Things terminals are: Internet of Things Terminal 1, Internet of Things Terminal 2, Internet of Things Terminal 3, and Internet of Things Terminal 4 belong to one The types, the Internet of Things terminal 5, the Internet of Things terminal 6, and the Internet of Things terminal 7 belong to one type, and the Internet of Things terminal 8, the Internet of Things terminal 9, and the Internet of Things terminal 10 belong to one type, as shown in FIG. A schematic diagram of type division provided by an embodiment of the invention.

Optionally, the N types are determined according to an important priority and a second threshold of uplink data uploaded by each IoT terminal carried by the repeater, where any two Internet of Things terminals of the same type are selected. The difference of the important priorities of the uploaded uplink data is less than or equal to the second threshold.

The second threshold may be, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or other values.

The difference between the important priorities of the uplink data uploaded by any two Internet of Things terminals of the same type is less than or equal to the second threshold, that is, the uploaded uplink data of the same type has the highest priority. The difference between the IoT terminal and the IOT terminal with the least important priority of the uploaded uplink data cannot exceed the second threshold.

For example, suppose the second threshold is 2, and there are 10 IoT terminals carried by the repeater (such as the Internet of Things terminal 1, the Internet of Things terminal 2, the Internet of Things terminal 3, the Internet of Things terminal 10), these 10 The important priorities of the uplink data uploaded by the IoT terminal are: important priority 1, important priority 1, important priority 2, important priority 3, important priority 4, important priority 4, important priority 5, important Priority 7, important priority 8, important priority 8. Since there is no important priority 0, it can be seen that the types corresponding to the 10 Internet of Things terminals are: Internet of Things terminal 1, Internet of Things terminal 2, Internet of Things terminal 3, and Internet of Things terminal 4 belong to one type, and the Internet of Things terminal 2 The networked terminal 3 and the Internet of Things terminal 4 belong to one type, and the Internet of Things terminal 5, the Internet of Things terminal 6, and the Internet of Things terminal 7 belong to one type, and the Internet of Things terminal 8, the Internet of Things terminal 9, and the Internet of Things terminal 10 belong to one type, such as FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a type division according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, the method further includes:

When detecting that the Internet of Things terminal j requests to access the repeater, the repeater determines the type of the Internet of Things terminal j, and divides the Internet of Things terminal j according to the type of the Internet of Things terminal j To the corresponding IoT terminal set, the N sets of IoT terminals do not include the IoT terminal j, and the type of the IoT terminal j is in the N type.

For example, the number of IoT terminals carried by the repeater will change continuously, such as increasing or decreasing. When the number of IoT terminals carried by the repeater increases, the repeater automatically determines the newly added IoT terminal. The type, then the repeater divides the newly added IoT terminal into the corresponding IoT terminal set according to the determined type of the newly added IoT terminal. For example, N=2, 2 types (such as the first type and the second type), the type of the new IoT terminal is in the first type, then the repeater divides the newly added IoT terminal into the first type. Corresponding IoT terminal collection.

Optionally, the specific implementation manner that the relay device controls the power-saving mode that the IoT terminal i switches to one of the K power-saving trigger conditions is:

The repeater sends a power saving instruction to the Internet of Things terminal i, the power saving instruction carries a power saving trigger condition k, and the K power saving trigger conditions include the power saving trigger condition k, and the power saving The instruction is used to instruct the IoT terminal i to switch to a power saving mode corresponding to the power saving trigger condition k.

Optionally, the method further includes:

The repeater periodically detects whether the number of new Internet of Things terminals carried by the repeater exceeds a third threshold; if the number of new Internet of Things terminals carried by the repeater exceeds the third a threshold, the repeater re-groups the IoT terminals connected to the repeater to obtain an H-group IoT terminal set, where the H-group IoT terminal set corresponds to H types, and the third threshold is greater than Or equal to Q*T, the T is a positive integer; the access point reports the H group of the Internet of Things terminal to the user, so that the user re-sets the power-saving trigger to the H-group IoT terminal set. Condition, the Q=the number of the Internet of Things terminals included in the N sets of Internet of Things terminals.

The above period may be, for example, 3 days, 10 days, 20 days, 1 month, 2 months, or other values.

For example, the IoT terminal carried by the repeater changes over time (such as increase/decrease), assuming that the number of new IoT terminals exceeds twice the number of previous IoT terminals. In order to facilitate management, the repeater needs to re-group these IoT terminals, and after the grouping is completed, report to the user to let the user reset the power-saving trigger conditions of these packets. Wherein, the determination of the above H value is the same as the determination of the N value described above, and will not be described here.

In addition, it should be noted that, if the user does not reset the power saving trigger condition for the new group (the H group of the Internet of Things terminal set), the repeater performs the above step S201 based on the power saving trigger corresponding to the previous group. The condition (the N sets of IoT terminal sets respectively correspond to M power control) is detected and determined. That is to say, the new packet is not activated, and the access point performs corresponding operations based on the previous packet.

For example, referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of switching between power saving modes of an Internet of Things terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the repeater 60 and the Internet of Things terminals connected to the repeater 60 have 10 For example, there are an Internet of Things terminal 70, an Internet of Things terminal 71, an Internet of Things terminal 72, an Internet of Things terminal 73, an Internet of Things terminal 74, an Internet of Things terminal 75, an Internet of Things terminal 76, an Internet of Things terminal 77, an Internet of Things terminal 78, and an Internet of Things. The terminal 79 has two sets of IoT terminals. For example, the IoT terminal set 1 includes an Internet of Things terminal 70, an Internet of Things terminal 71, an Internet of Things terminal 72, an Internet of Things terminal 73, and an Internet of Things terminal 74, and an Internet of Things terminal set 2 The Internet of Things terminal 75, the Internet of Things terminal 76, the Internet of Things terminal 77, the Internet of Things terminal 78, the Internet of Things terminal 79, and the IoT terminal set 1 correspond to the first power-saving trigger condition, and the first power-saving trigger condition corresponds to the first province. In the electrical mode, the IoT terminal set 2 corresponds to the second power saving trigger condition, and the second power saving trigger condition corresponds to the second power saving mode, if the repeater 60 detects that the operation state of the IoT terminal 75 satisfies the first power saving trigger bar. , The repeater 60 transmits an instruction to power things terminal 75, so that the things terminal 75 is switched to the first power saving mode.

The embodiment of the present invention further provides another more detailed method flow. As shown in FIG. 6, the execution body of the method for switching the power saving mode of the Internet of Things terminal is the power saving mode of the Internet of Things terminal according to the present invention. The switching device (the switching device of the power saving mode of the Internet of Things terminal may be an access point or a repeater), and the following is an example in which the executing entity is a repeater, including:
