Description

多模IoT设备的通信模式选择方法、IoT设备及存储介质 技术领域
本发明涉及物联网(IoT)设备的网络接入技术，尤其涉及一种多模IoT设备的通信模式选择方法、IoT设备及计算机存储介质。
背景技术
目前，存在有多个可适用于2.4GHz IoT的通信标准或通信模式，如蓝牙低功耗(Bluetooth Low Energy，BLE)、蓝牙低功耗Mesh(自组网蓝牙)、Zigbee(紫蜂协议)、Thread、6LoWPAN等，这些通信模式在家庭、办公室和工业环境等应用领域中重叠或交叉覆盖。
现有IoT设备主要包括如下两类：1)仅工作在单模状态下的、即仅支持一种通信模式的IoT设备；2)工作在多模可切换状态下的可支持多种通信模式的多模IoT设备。
然而，在现有的多模IoT设备中，在同一套固件上支持多种通信模式，使得可以在该固件运行时实现在多种通信模式之间进行切换。例如在中国专利申请公开CN105610449A中公开了一种双模射频收发架构，其中在加载于同一硬件芯片上的固件中支持两种射频收发方式，而且可以在固件运行时在这两种射频收发方式之间进行切换。但是这种架构导致在这两种射频收发方式之间共享芯片资源，使得极容易引起每种射频收发方式下的网络时延，导致用户体验差。因此，需要实现在IoT设备支持多种通信模式的情况下，使各种通信模式能够单独充分使用硬件芯片资源，提高每种通信模式对硬件芯片资源的利用率，减少因IoT设备的硬件资源限制而引起的网络延时，提高IoT设备的用户体验。

根据本公开的一个实施方式，其中，所述触发操作包括：使所述多模IoT设备出厂后首次上电的触发操作；或者，使所述多模IoT设备被重置后首次上电的触发操作；或者，使所述多模IoT设备首次与所述网络设备连接的触发操作；或者，使所述多模IoT设备被重置后首次与所述网络设备连接的触发操作。

具体实施方式
下面将参考若干示例性实施方式来描述本发明的原理和精神。应当理解，给出这些实施方式仅仅是为了使本领域技术人员能够更好地理解进而实现本发明，而并非以任何方式限制本发明的范围。相反，提供这些实施方式是为了使本公开更加透彻和完整，并且能够将本公开的范围完整地传达给本领域的技术人员。
下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施方式进行详细描述。
图1示出了本发明实施例多模IoT设备的通信模式选择方法的实现流程示意图。
如图1所示，本发明实施例提供一种多模IoT设备的通信模式选择方法，该方法包括如下操作：操作101，接收并响应用于选择通信模式的触发操作，多模IoT设备进入多模广播状态；操作102，在多模广播状态下，多模IoT设备向网络设备发送与多模IoT设备自身所支持的通信模式对应的N个网络信标或者连接请求消息，其中N为大于或等于2的整数，N可以为多模IoT设备所支持的通信模式数量；操作103，从网络设 备接收网络连接响应消息；操作104，基于网络连接响应消息，加载多模IoT设备进入与网络连接响应消息对应的目标通信模式。
在操作101，用于选择通信模式的触发操作可以包括如下几种类型：
类型一，使多模IoT设备出厂后首次上电的触发操作。举例来说，即一台多模IoT设备出厂后被用户带到家庭、办公室或工业环境等应用领域后首次上电，多模IoT设备的SoC芯片(系统芯片)处于启动状态，以使多模IoT设备进入多模广播状态，从而尝试与存在于自身的无线广播覆盖范围内的网络设备进行无线通信连接。
类型二，使多模IoT设备被重置后首次上电的触发操作。举例来说，即一台多模IoT设备被用户触发恢复出厂设置后首次上电，多模IoT设备的SoC芯片(系统芯片)处于重启状态，以使多模IoT设备进入多模广播状态，从而尝试与存在于自身的无线广播覆盖范围内的网络设备进行无线通信连接。
类型三，使多模IoT设备首次与网络设备连接的触发操作。举例来说，即当用户关闭当前已经与多模IoT设备连接的Zigbee网关，开启智能手机的蓝牙功能时，该多模IoT设备自动检测到目前处于未进行网络连接的状态或与Zigbee网关的无线通信连接已中断，故通过自触发进入多模广播状态，从而尝试与存在于自身的无线广播覆盖范围内的网络设备(例如开启蓝牙功能的智能手机)进行无线通信连接。
类型四，使多模IoT设备被重置后首次与网络设备连接的触发操作。举例来说，当多模IoT设备被用户触发恢复出厂设置后首次带到家庭、办公室或工业环境等应用领域，该多模IoT设备自动检测到目前处于未进行网络连接的状态，故通过自触发进入多模广播状态，从而尝试与存在于自身的无线广播覆盖范围内的网络设备进行无线通信连接。
其中，多模IoT设备包括LED灯或各种传感设备。网络设备包括机顶盒、路由器、智能手机、PC机或平板电脑等可起到无线网关作用的设备。
在操作102，多模IoT设备分别采用不同的频率集合在时间上顺序发送与多模IoT设备自身所支持的通信模式对应的N个网络信标或者连接请求消息；或者采用共享的相同频率集合在时间上彼此交错发送与多模 IoT设备自身所支持的通信模式对应的N个网络信标或者连接请求消息中的至少两个。
其中，多模IoT设备自身所支持的通信模式包括以下至少两种的组合：BLE或BLE Mesh、Zigbee，Thread，HomeKit，ANT，以及私有通信协议；相应的，与多模IoT设备自身所支持的通信模式对应的N个网络信标或者连接请求消息包括以下至少两种的组合：BLE广播消息、Zigbee Beacon请求消息，Thread Beacon请求消息或MLE发现请求消息，以及私有信标。
在一示例中，多模IoT设备通过时分复用传输方式分别向网络设备发送与自身所支持的三种通信标准BLE，Zigbee和Thread对应的三个网络连接请求消息。
图2示出了本发明实施例多模IoT设备在多模广播状态下的传输时序图。
如图2所示，在第一个样本定时序列中，该多模IoT设备在一个T1周期内发送如下数据包进行侦听：
1)在采样间隔为T2的3个BLE广播信道fb1、fb2、fb3的集合上传输BLE广播数据包，如图2中的实线矩形脉冲所示；
2)在采样间隔为T3的n个802.15.4射频信道fz1、fz2、……、fzn的集合上传输Zigbee Beacon请求消息，如图2中的虚线矩形脉冲所示；
3)在采样间隔为T4的m个802.15.4射频信道ft1、ft2、……、ftm的集合上传输Thread Beacon请求消息或MLE发现请求消息，如图2中的斜线填充矩形脉冲所示。
在与上述第一个样本定时序列不同的第二个样本定时序列中，对应于通信模式Zigbee的Zigbee Beacon请求消息和对应于通信模式Thread的Thread Beacon请求消息或MLE发现请求消息两者共享相同集合的信道，故可以以采样间隔T5在n个802.15.4射频信道f1、f2、……、fn的集合上实现Zigbee Beacon请求消息和Thread Beacon请求消息或MLE发现请求消息的交替(即交错)传输，即在同一时间间隔T5内在相同频率信道f1上采交错传输Zigbee Beacon请求消息和Thread Beacon请求消息或MLE发现请求消息，然后切换到下一频率信道f2，在同一时间间隔T5内 在相同频率信道f2上采交错传输Zigbee Beacon请求消息和Thread Beacon请求消息或MLE发现请求消息；以此类推，直到在同一时间间隔T5内在相同频率信道fn上采交错传输Zigbee Beacon请求消息和Thread Beacon请求消息或MLE发现请求消息。
在操作103，在多模IoT设备的无线广播覆盖范围内，网络设备能够接收到与自身通信模式相匹配的来自多模IoT设备的网络信标或者连接请求消息；之后，网络设备会将携带有自身的网络配置信息的网络连接响应消息反馈至多模IoT设备。
其中，网络配置信息可以例如包括网络类型信息、分组信息及其加密信息等。
在操作104，由于本发明实施例的多模IoT设备包括有分别支持不同通信模式的多个固件(firmware)，故多模IoT设备可以触发自身的多个固件中与目标通信模式所对应的固件进入激活状态。此时，其余未激活的固件不会占用多模IoT设备的运行硬件资源。
图3示出了本发明实施例多模IoT设备中多个固件的状态显示图。
在一示例中，如图3所示，假定该多模IoT设备包括有分别支持BLE，Zigbee和Thread三种通信模式的固件A，固件B和固件C。当网络设备反馈的网络连接响应消息属于Zigbee无线网络时，则多模IoT设备自动触发自身的对应固件B进入激活状态，当然此时其他固件均处于休眠或关闭状态。
如此，多模IoT设备能够在不同的接入网络环境下，通过各自网络环境所对应的固件来实现与网络设备的无线网络连接，能够有效降低由于多模IoT设备的硬件运行资源有限而引起的网络时延，进而提升多模IoT设备的用户体验。
图4示出了本发明实施例的可选择通信模式的多模loT设备的组成结构示意图。
如图4所示，本发明实施例提供一种可选择通信模式的多模loT设备40，该设备40包括：第一接收装置401，用于接收并响应用于选择通信模式的触发操作，使多模IoT设备进入多模广播状态；发送装置402，用于在多模广播状态下向网络设备发送与多模IoT设备自身所支持的通信 模式对应的N个网络信标或者连接请求消息，其中N为大于或等于2的整数，例如，N可以为多模IoT设备所支持的通信模式数量；第二接收装置403，用于从网络设备接收网络连接响应消息；执行装置404，用于基于网络连接响应消息，加载多模IoT设备进入与网络连接响应消息对应的目标通信模式。
根据本公开的一个实施方式，其中，触发操作包括：使多模IoT设备出厂后首次上电的触发操作；或者，使多模IoT设备被重置后首次上电的触发操作；或者，使多模IoT设备首次与网络设备连接的触发操作；或者，使能多模IoT设备被重置后首次与网络设备连接的触发操作。
根据本公开的一个实施方式，其中，多模IoT设备自身所支持的通信模式包括以下至少两种的组合：BLE或BLE Mesh、Zigbee，Thread，HomeKit，ANT，以及私有通信协议；相应的，与多模IoT设备自身所支持的通信模式对应的N个网络信标或者连接请求消息包括以下至少两种的组合：BLE广播消息、Zigbee Beacon请求消息，Thread Beacon请求消息或MLE发现请求消息，以及私有信标。
根据本公开的一个实施方式，其中，发送装置402具体用于分别采用不同的频率集合在时间上顺序发送与多模IoT设备自身所支持的通信模式对应的N个网络连接请求消息N个网络信标或者连接请求消息；或者采用共享的相同频率集合在时间上彼此交错发送与多模IoT设备自身所支持的通信模式对应的N个网络信标或者连接请求消息中的至少两个。
根据本公开的一个实施方式，其中，执行装置404具体用于触发多模IoT设备的多个固件中与目标通信模式所对应的固件进入激活状态。
例如，在下面的示例中，所述多模IoT设备可以是用户从市场中购买的多模IoT灯泡，该多模IoT灯泡支持BLE、Zigbee以及Thread这三种通信模式。同时，在用户家中安装有Zigbee网关。当用户将购买的多模IoT灯泡拿回家中插入电源插座后，该多模IoT灯泡进入多模广播状态并开始发送BLE广播消息、Zigbee Beacon请求消息和Thread MLE发现请求消息。Zigbee网关在收到Zigbee Beacon请求消息后对多模IoT灯泡作出响应并提供Zigbee Beacon，从而使得多模IoT灯泡进入Zigbee通信模式，进而加入到用户的家庭网络中开始工作。
这里需要指出的是：以上设备实施例中的描述，与上述方法描述是类似的，能获得与方法相同的有益效果，对其不作赘述。对于本发明设备实施例中未披露的技术细节，请参照本发明方法实施例的描述。
