S110. Receive a Web request, and establish a connection for the Web request; the Wi-Fi chip in the embodiment of the present invention, such as the ESP8266 chip, is divided into two operating modes, namely a configuration mode and a working mode, and the two modes are performed by a switch Switch. The device must enter the configuration mode when it is used for the first time. The operation method is to set the switch to the on state. The execution logic of the configuration mode is to initialize the Wi-Fi module of the device, set it to AP mode, and then turn on the WEB service, which can process HTTP requests. The client connects to the WI-FI network of the device and accesses the Web service through a browser. The web server listens to the http request and processes it, and returns the processed result to the client. The configuration mode supports the configuration of Wi-Fi information and cloud server information. After the configuration is complete, set the switch to off, and restart the device to enter the working mode. In the working mode, the device first connects to Wi-Fi, then performs time calibration on the device, and then connects to the cloud server. After the above tasks are completed, the device starts to transmit data. The workflow is shown in Figure 2.

S120. Remotely call the LUA script to select the processing function corresponding to the Web request for processing; analyze the Web request to obtain the corresponding processing function for data processing, such as data query, data calculation, data packaging, etc., to form a processing result .

S130: Return the processing result data; after the processing result is obtained, data is packaged and sent according to the adopted data protocol, for example, the HTTP protocol is used for sending.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a Wi-Fi chip is used to build the server function. Due to the limited new capabilities of the Wi-Fi chip, there is no mature Web service framework. In order to meet the requirement of providing Web services, a set of Web service framework is implemented based on the LUA basic library. LUA is a lightweight and compact scripting language. The Wi-Fi chip can carry such scripting language functions for operation, and realize server functions by remotely calling LUA scripts.

The key technologies of the Web server include creating a TCP server (Transmission Control Protocol Server), capturing http (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) requests and establishing a connection, parsing and processing the requested data, returning the result to the client in the form of http, and closing the connection. This embodiment mainly implements the analysis and processing of http request data. According to the selection, the features are as follows:

1) Support a variety of request methods, including get (get), post (post), put (place), etc., and analyze according to different web request methods.

2) Support http access authentication;

3) Realize remote calling of LUA scripts in http mode;

4) Support multiple request codes;

5) It can correctly handle scenarios where a single request returns a large amount of data.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the steps of remotely calling the LUA script and selecting the processing function corresponding to the Web request for processing include:

The receive event is triggered, the request data is parsed, the LUA file name is obtained, the file is loaded to obtain the LUA function, the LUA function is executed, the sent event is triggered, and the result obtained by executing the LUA function is sent.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the step of loading the file to obtain the LUA function includes:

Use dofile to load files to obtain the LUA function

In order to realize the scenario of processing a large amount of data on the Wi-Fi chip with limited performance, the method of processing Web requests in the implementation of the present invention adopts a cooperative program to process, which can reduce the requirements on the performance of the device without causing data transmission. mistake. Specifically, the step of selecting a processing function corresponding to the Web request for processing includes: creating a cooperative program corresponding to the Web request; specifying a processing function for the cooperative program; and processing using the processing function. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the step of using the processing function to perform processing includes:

S1231, wake up the cooperative program, execute the processing function to get the return data;

S1232, perform data slicing in response to the need to slice the returned data;

S1233, in response to acquiring the threshold number of slices, suspend the cooperative program, and send the threshold number of slices;

In S1234, in response to the data transmission is not completed, step S1231 to step S1233 are cyclically executed.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the return data is obtained by executing the processing function of the cooperative program. When the amount of data is large, the data is sliced correspondingly, and then sent. When sending, the cooperative program is suspended to reduce the performance requirements of the chip, and the data is sent cyclically until the data is sent. Sent. The aforementioned cooperative program and data transmission can be performed in a similar parallel manner. For example, the cooperative program is suspended when sending data, and the cooperative program is awakened to continue execution after the data of the slice is sent, and the returned data is obtained, and then the slice is adaptively selected and suspended. Start the collaborative program and send the data. The use of a collaborative program ensures that multiple processing requests can be executed, avoiding the situation that other requests are not processed due to a single request for obtaining more data. In order to reduce the requirements on the performance of the chip, in the embodiment of the present invention, one slice may be acquired and sent immediately.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the amount of returned data acquired is small, or when there is no other collaborative program to run, it can be sent directly. Specifically, the processing step of the processing function further includes:

S1235. In response to returning the data without slicing, directly send the data.

As shown in Figure 4, in the embodiment of the present invention, a cooperative program is used to solve the problem of insufficient device memory and ensure support for larger data access scenarios. The user sends a Web request, establishes a connection for the request, parses the requested data, and selects the corresponding The processing function processes the request, returns the processing result data and closes the connection. The data processing process uses a collaborative program to create a collaborative program and specify a processing function for each request. The processing flow is: first wake up the collaborative program, execute the processing function to get the return data; then, the return data is sliced in order, and each slice is obtained Send, suspend the cooperative program before sending, wake up after sending and continue the slicing operation until the data is sent; finally close the connection to complete a request process. The cooperative program ensures that the returned data of the same request can be sent continuously and correctly.

Further, the step of using the processing function for processing further includes: S1236. After the data is sent, when it is determined that the cooperative program is in a suspended state, the connection is closed. Clear the occupation of resources in time.

As shown in Figure 5, the embodiment of the present invention can remotely call the LUA script through the http method. After the request arrives, the receive callback function is triggered. The function parses the request data, obtains the LUA file name, and then loads the file in the dofile mode. The processing function defined by the script is obtained, and the requested parameters are passed to the function to complete the data processing work. This method requires the LUA script to follow the format definition: return function(connection,req,args).

The embodiment of the present invention provides a processing method for Web requests based on a Wi-Fi chip with configurable parameters. It can process large data requests based on limited memory resources, and can also realize remote calling of LUA scripts.
