detailed description

Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for reporting information according to an exemplary embodiment. The method can be applied to a device, such as a smart device such as a smart home appliance. As shown in Fig. 1, the method includes:

In step 101, information about a device to be reported to a server is acquired;

In an implementable manner, the device may be connected to the user's home network through an intelligent terminal, such as an application on a mobile phone, to make the device networked. During the networked operation of the device, the device can report its own operating status information and the monitored surrounding environment parameters to the server through the network. After the user binds the device to the user account, it can be viewed through the application in the mobile phone. these messages. Among them, binding refers to establishing a one-to-one mapping relationship between a device and a user account, thereby identifying a subordinate relationship between the device and the user. The device bound to the user account can confirm the user to which it belongs, on the one hand, ensuring the private properties of the device; on the other hand, the user can also remotely operate the device bound to the user account through the application in the mobile phone.

In an implementable manner, the device may include smart home appliances, for example, air conditioners, water heaters, air purifiers, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, smoke alarms, and the like. The information to be reported to the server may include the operating status information of these devices, such as operating parameters, and event information monitored by these devices. Among them, the operating status information of the device, such as the air conditioner is currently in a cooling operation mode, and the target cooling temperature is It is 21 degrees Celsius, and the event information monitored by the device, for example, the current indoor temperature detected by the temperature sensor is 28 degrees Celsius, or the smoke alarm detects that the indoor smoke concentration exceeds the alarm threshold.

In step 102, the priority of the information to be reported to the server is determined;

In an implementable manner, the information to be reported to the server may have different priorities, and the priority may reflect the importance of the information. For example, information with high importance to the user may be set to have a high priority. When the device reports information to the server, it can report high-priority information to the server first. After the device reports high-priority information to the server or after the network becomes idle, it can report low-priority information to the server. Among them, the priority of the information may be set in advance, for example, the priority of the failure information of the equipment failure or the alarm information caused by the failure is set in advance, and the priority of the operating status information of the normal operation of the equipment is lower; The priority of different information is set by the user.

In step 103, it is determined whether the reporting time of the information has arrived according to the priority of the information;

In step 104, when the reporting time of the information arrives, the information is reported to the server.

In an implementable manner, the device may report information to the server periodically. During each period of reporting information, different priorities of information may correspond to different reporting timings. For example, high priority information needs to be reported to the server. Information is reported to the server immediately when the period of information arrives, and low-priority information can be reported to the server when the network is idle after the period arrives.

According to the method for reporting information provided in this embodiment, after obtaining information to be reported to a server in a device, the timing of reporting information is determined according to the priority of the information. On the basis of meeting the device's requirement for reporting information to the server, The priority reports information to the server at the corresponding time, avoiding the problem of reporting a large amount of information to the server at the same time, which causes a large amount of network resource occupation.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for reporting information according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, in this method, determining whether the reporting timing of the information arrives according to the priority of the information may include: Step 201 When the priority of the information to be reported to the server is not lower than the first preset level, it is determined that the reporting time of the information has arrived. For example, three different levels of priority can be set for the information to be reported by the device in advance, which are the first level, the second level, and the third level, among which the first level has the highest priority, the second level and the third level. The priority of the information is reduced in order. The information with the priority of the first level can be, for example, alarm information and fault information of the device. This type of information is more important and needs to be immediately known by the user. Therefore, the first preset level can be set in advance. First level priority. That is, when it is determined that the priority of the information to be reported by the device to the server is not lower than the highest priority, it can be determined that the reporting time of the information has arrived, and the information can be reported to the server immediately, ensuring that high-importance information is timely Escalation.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for reporting information according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, in the method, determining whether the reporting timing of the information arrives according to the priority of the information may include: Step 301 When the priority of the information is not higher than the second preset level and the data amount of the information is greater than the first preset value, it is determined that the reporting timing of the information has not arrived, the reporting timing of the information is delayed, and when the priority of the information is not higher than When the second preset level and the data amount of the information is not greater than the first preset value, it is determined that the report timing of the information arrives, where the first preset level is greater than or equal to the second preset level. When the priority of the information is not higher than the second preset level, it indicates that the priority of the information is not the highest level, the information may not be very important, and the data volume of the information is greater than the preset value, it can indicate the data volume of the information Larger, reporting the information may occupy more network resources. In this case, it is not necessary to report the information to the server immediately, so the timing of reporting the information may be delayed. In the case where the data amount of the information is not greater than the preset value, it indicates that the data amount of the information is not large, and reporting the information may not have a significant impact on the network. In this case, the information can be reported immediately, Therefore, it can be determined that the reporting time of the information has arrived, and the device can report the information. Based on this, it can be ensured that the more important information is reported to the server first, and the less important information can be reported to the server according to its impact on the network, which is the basis for ensuring that users know the important information on the device in time. This effectively prevents the reported information from occupying the network bandwidth and affecting the user's normal use of the network.

Fig. 4 is a flow chart showing a method for reporting information according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in Fig. 4, in this method, it is determined that the report timing of the information has not arrived, and the delay of reporting the information may include the following steps: In 400, when the priority of the information is not higher than the second preset level and the data amount of the information is greater than the first preset value, it is determined that the report timing of the information has not arrived; in step 401, according to the information sent by the router connected to the device, The information obtains the idle time period of the network accessed by the device. The information sent by the router may include: the number of terminals currently connected to the network, the historical idle time period of the network, and the bandwidth occupied by the currently connected device. At least one item; in step 402, it is determined that the idle time period of the network is a reporting opportunity of information to be reported. The device can request information about the current network status from the router connected to it. After the device receives the number of devices currently connected to the network from the router, if the number is greater than a preset number, the device is considered to be currently using the network. If there are many devices and the network is busy, it is not suitable to report the information to the server at present. You can continue to delay the report timing of the information, and then continue to ask the router for information about the network status until the network is idle. The device can also directly request the network idle period from the router. At this time, the router can determine the historical idle time period according to the historical usage habits of the devices in the network. For example, it can determine that the time from 11:00 to 12:00 in the morning is usually It is the network idle time period, which can be notified to the device. After the device learns the time period, the report timing of the information can be delayed to the time period, and the device can report the lower priority information to the server within the time period.

In an example application scenario, a device needs to report information to a server to obtain a list of all information to be reported on the current device. The list includes information types and priorities. Query the priority of the information to be reported from the list. A higher priority indicates that the information is more urgent and more important to the user, and immediately reports the information to the server through the network. If the importance of the information is low, the amount of data to obtain the information. If the information has a small amount of data, it is considered that the information will not have a significant impact on the user's home network, and the information can be reported immediately. If the priority of the information is low and the amount of data of the information is large, you can send a request to the home routing device to which the device is connected, query the time period when the user concentrated on the home network, and the home users who connect and use the network at the current time. The number of devices. If the current time does not belong to the time period in which the user uses the home network intensively and there are no user equipments connected or there are fewer user equipments, the current time can be considered as an idle time period, or the information can be reported immediately; otherwise, the device The information to be reported is temporarily stored, and the time period (idle time period) in which the user does not use the home network intensively is selected, and then the information is reported to the server. This can not only ensure the need for information reporting by the device, but also avoid the problem of occupying the home network bandwidth caused by the device reporting information during the period when the user is intensively using the home network, thereby ensuring the user's online experience to the greatest extent.
