Hereinafter, some of the terms in the present application will be explained to be understood by those skilled in the art.

1) The Internet of Things terminal is a device that connects the sensing network layer and the transmission network layer in the Internet of Things to collect data and send data to the network layer. It is responsible for data collection, preliminary processing, encryption, transmission and other functions. For example, the Internet of Things terminal can be a handheld device with wireless connectivity, an in-vehicle device, a mobile phone, a tablet, a laptop, a palmtop computer, a mobile internet device (MID), a wearable device, such as a smart watch, smart.

3), the gateway, the English name is: "Gateway", gateway (Gateway) is also known as the network connector, protocol converter. The gateway implements network interconnection above the network layer. It is the most complex network interconnection device and is only used for different network interconnections of two high-level protocols. Gateways can be used for both WAN and LAN interconnections. A gateway is a computer system or device that acts as a conversion.

6. "Multiple" means two or more. "and/or", describing the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there may be three relationships, for example, A and/or B, which may indicate that there are three cases where A exists separately, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists separately. 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 of controlling a power 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. The terminal 30 and the repeater 40 and the 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 controlling an electric quantity of an Internet of Things terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein an execution subject of a method for controlling an electric quantity of an Internet of Things terminal is an object of the Internet of Things (IoT) terminal of the present invention. The energy saving device (the energy saving device 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, and the repeater carries N sets of IoT terminals. The N sets of IoT terminal sets correspond to N sub-IP network segments, and each set of IoT terminal sets respectively corresponds to K energy saving trigger conditions, where K is greater than or equal to 1, and the N is an integer greater than 1, including the following steps:

S201. The relay device detects whether an operation state of the Internet of Things terminal carried by the repeater meets an energy saving trigger condition.

S202. If it is detected that the operating state of the Internet of Things terminal i carried by the repeater meets the object When the W energy-saving triggering conditions are met by the networked terminal i, the repeater controls the IoT terminal i to switch to a power-saving mode corresponding to one of the energy-saving triggering conditions of the W energy-saving triggering conditions. W is a positive integer.

The above step S201 may be that the repeater periodically detects whether the running state of the Internet of Things terminal carried by the repeater meets the energy 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, K=2, and there are 3 sub-IP network segments in the network range (for example, there are: 192.168.1.20~192.168.1.55, 192.168. 1.56~192.168.1.120, 192.168.1.121~192.168.1.210), 3 sets of IoT terminals (such as IoT terminal set 1, IoT terminal set 2 and IoT terminal set 3), 3 sets of IoT terminal sets are based on The three sub-IP network segments are divided, and the three sets of IoT terminals respectively correspond to two energy saving trigger conditions (for example, the IoT terminal set 1 corresponds to the first energy saving trigger condition and the second energy saving trigger condition, and the IoT terminal set 2 corresponds to a third energy saving trigger condition and a fourth energy saving trigger condition, and so on, when the repeater detects that an operation state of an IoT terminal in the IoT terminal set 1 satisfies a first energy saving trigger condition and/or a When the energy saving trigger condition is met, the repeater controls the power-saving mode corresponding to the first power-saving triggering condition or the power-saving mode corresponding to the second energy-saving triggering condition. It can be seen that by setting the energy saving trigger condition of each IoT terminal in advance, when the operating state of the IoT terminal satisfies the energy saving trigger condition, the IoT terminal is controlled to switch the power saving mode, thereby improving the service life of the IoT 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 connected to the access point, where the operation of the Internet of Things terminal is detected for a 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 energy 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 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 energy saving trigger condition may be that the IoT terminal sleeps every 7 minutes, and each sleep time is 8 minutes, if the operating state of an IoT terminal in the IoT terminal set 1 satisfies the first energy saving trigger condition, the repeater controls the An IoT terminal switches to a power-saving mode that sleeps every 7 minutes and sleeps for 8 minutes each time.

For example, it is assumed that the first energy saving trigger condition of the Internet of Things terminal set 1 is that the average standby time length 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 energy saving trigger condition may be that the IoT terminal sleeps every 7 minutes, each sleep time For 8 minutes, it is assumed that the IoT terminal set 1 corresponds to the second energy 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 second energy saving trigger condition corresponds to the power saving mode. The IoT terminal can sleep every 10 minutes, and each sleep time is 6 minutes, if the IoT terminal The operating state of an IoT terminal in the set 1 satisfies the first energy saving trigger condition and the second energy festival When the trigger condition is met, the repeater controls the IoT terminal to switch to sleep every 7 minutes, the power saving mode is 8 minutes each sleep time, or the access point controls the IoT terminal to switch to every 10 minutes. Sleep once, each sleep mode is 6 minutes of power saving mode.

Optionally, the N is determined according to the number P of IP addresses included in the total IP network segment in the network range and the number M of the Internet of Things terminals carried by the repeater, where the P and the M is an integer greater than one.

Optionally, when the P/M is greater than or equal to a first threshold, the N=the first threshold-the second threshold, the second threshold*R is less than the first threshold, R is an integer greater than 1; when the P/M is less than the first threshold, the N is the first threshold.

The first threshold may be, for example, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 or other values.

The second threshold may be, for example, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 or other values.

For example, a network segment has a total IP network segment, such as 192.168.1.20 to 192.168.1.210. A network segment includes multiple IP addresses. For example, the IP network segment includes 191 IP addresses. The more sets of corresponding IoT terminals, the more inconvenient the IoT terminal set is. In order to properly limit the number of IoT terminal sets, the solution restricts the above N to be the IP included in the total IP network segment within the networking scope. The number of addresses P and the number M of IoT terminals carried by the repeater are determined. Suppose P=150, M=30, first threshold=5, second threshold=2, visible, N=3. Also assume that P = 150, M = 60, the first threshold = 5, the second threshold = 2, visible, N = 5.

Optionally, the N is determined according to the number P of IP addresses included in the total IP network segment in the network scope, where P is an integer greater than 1.

Optionally, when the P is greater than or equal to a third threshold, the N is equal to a quotient of the P divided by a fourth threshold; when the P is less than the third threshold, the N is equal to the P In addition to the quotient of the fifth threshold, the fifth threshold is less than the fourth threshold, and the fourth threshold is less than the third threshold.

The third threshold may be, for example, 60, 100, 136, 200, 400, 560 or other values.

The fourth threshold may be, for example, 30, 50, 68, 100, 200, 280 or other values.

The fifth threshold may be, for example, 20, 30, 45, 65, 78, 100 or other values.

For example, assuming P=100, a third threshold=50, and a fourth threshold=25, it can be seen that P is greater than a third threshold, such as N=P/fourth threshold=4. Assuming P=90, third threshold=50, fourth threshold=25, M/third threshold=3...15, then N only takes quotient, ie N=3, and assumes P=60, third threshold=100 , fourth threshold = 20, N = P / fifth threshold = 3.

Optionally, the method further includes:

When detecting that the Internet of Things terminal j requests to access the repeater, assigning an IP address to the Internet of Things terminal j, and dividing the Internet of Things terminal j into a corresponding IoT terminal set according to the IP address The N sets of Internet of Things terminals do not include the Internet of Things terminal j, and the N sub IP network segments include the IP address.

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 according to the IP address of the newly added IoT terminal. The IP network segment in which it is located divides the newly added IoT terminals into the corresponding IoT terminal sets. For example, suppose N=2, 2 sub-IP network segments (for example, 192.168.1.56 to 192.168.1.120, 192.168.1.121 to 192.168.1.210), the IP address of the newly added IoT terminal is 192.168.1.66, which can be seen as new. The IP address of the IoT terminal is in the sub-IP segment 192.168.1.56 to 192.168.1.120, then the access point divides the newly added IoT terminal into the IoT corresponding to the sub-IP segment 192.168.1.56 to 192.168.1.120. In the terminal collection.

Optionally, the K energy saving triggering conditions respectively corresponding to each set of the Internet of Things terminal sets are that the user sets the N-type Internet of Things terminal sets separately through the human-machine interaction interface of the repeater. of. That is to say, the K energy saving trigger conditions corresponding to each set of IoT terminal sets are user-defined.

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 Threshold, the repeater re-groups the IoT terminals carried by the repeater to obtain an H-group IoT terminal set, where the H-group IoT terminal set corresponds to H sub-IP network segments, The third threshold is greater than or equal to M*T, and the T is an integer greater than 1. The repeater reports the H group of the Internet of Things terminal to the user, so that the user re-resets the H group of the Internet of Things terminal Set energy saving trigger conditions.

The 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, the user is reported to the user to reset the energy 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 energy saving trigger condition for the new group (the group H Internet of Things terminal set), the repeater performs the above step S201 is based on the energy saving trigger corresponding to the previous group. The condition (the N sets of IoT terminals is respectively corresponding to W 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.

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

The access point sends an energy saving instruction to the Internet of Things terminal i, the energy saving instruction carrying an energy saving trigger condition j, the W energy saving triggering conditions including the energy saving triggering condition j, the energy saving The instruction is used to instruct the IoT terminal i to switch to a power saving mode corresponding to the energy saving trigger condition j.

For example, refer to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of power control of an Internet of Things terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein there are 12 Internet of Things terminals connected to the repeater 60 and the repeater 60, for example, The Internet of Things terminal 70, the Internet of Things terminal 71, the Internet of Things terminal 72, the Internet of Things terminal 81, and the Internet of Things terminal set have two. For example, the Internet of Things terminal set 1 includes the Internet of Things terminal 70 to the Internet of Things terminal 75, and the Internet of Things. The terminal set 2 includes an Internet of Things terminal 76 to an Internet of Things terminal 81. The IoT terminal set 1 corresponds to a first energy saving trigger condition and a second energy saving trigger condition, and the first energy saving trigger condition corresponds to the first power saving mode, and the second The energy saving trigger condition corresponds to the second power saving mode, the IoT terminal set 2 corresponds to the third energy saving trigger condition, and the third energy saving trigger condition corresponds to the third power saving mode, if the repeater 60 detects the operation of the Internet of Things terminal 71 The state satisfies the first energy saving trigger condition and the second energy saving trigger condition, and the repeater 60 sends an energy saving instruction to the Internet of Things terminal 71, and the energy saving instruction specifies the object link. A first terminal 71 is switched to the power saving mode, so that the things terminal 71 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. 4, wherein the execution subject of the power control method for executing the Internet of Things terminal is the energy saving device of the Internet of Things terminal according to the present invention. The energy saving device of the networked terminal may be an access point or a repeater. The following takes the execution subject as a repeater as an example. The repeater carries N sets of IoT terminals, and the N group of Internet of Things The terminal set corresponds to the N sub-IP network segments, and each set of the IoT terminal sets respectively corresponds to K energy saving trigger conditions, where the K is greater than or equal to 1, and the N is an integer greater than 1, including:

S401. The repeater determines the number M of all the Internet of Things terminals carried by the repeater and the number P of IP addresses included in the total IP network segment in the network range, where the P and the M are both greater than An integer of 1.
