As an aspect of the present disclosure, a networking method is provided. As shown in FIG. 1 , the IoT method includes steps S110 to S130.

In step S110, it is judged whether the device to be accessed has the networking authority according to the networking request sent by the device to be accessed through the first near field communication NFC module, wherein the networking request carries the identity of the device to be accessed information.

In step S120, when it is determined (in step S110) that the device to be accessed has the networking authority, the device to be accessed is connected to the host and connected to the network.

In step S130, when it is determined (in step S110) that the device to be accessed does not have the networking authority, a networking authentication request is sent to the host, and the networking authentication request carries the information of the device to be accessed. Identity Information.

It should be pointed out that the IoT method provided by the first aspect of the present disclosure is performed by a networked device (eg, a smart router, a networked device such as a CPE (Customer Premise Equipment)), and more specifically, by, for example, a main control module of the networked device implement. The networked device may have a second NFC module. The second NFC module can generate an electromagnetic field. After the first NFC module of the device to be connected enters the electromagnetic field, the first NFC module is activated, and the networking request can be sent to the networking device through near field communication. After receiving the networking request, the networking device firstly determines whether the device to be accessed has networking authority. When it is determined that the device to be accessed has the networking authority, the device to be accessed is directly connected to the host to realize sensorless networking; when it is determined that the device to be accessed does not have the networking authority, it directly The carried identity information is authenticated online, and the operator of the device to be accessed does not need to input identity information, which simplifies the operator's operation steps and improves the user experience.

In the present disclosure, there is no special limitation on how to determine whether the device to be accessed has the right to connect to the Internet. For example, whether the to-be-connected device has the right to connect to the Internet may be determined according to the Internet-connected whitelist or the Internet-connected blacklist.

When judging whether the device to be accessed has the right to connect to the Internet through the Internet-connected blacklist, the identity information of the device that refuses to be connected to the Internet can be set in the Internet-connected blacklist. When the networking request is received, the identity information of the device to be accessed carried in the networking request is compared with the networking blacklist. When the comparison result is that the identity information of the device to be accessed exists in the networking blacklist, it is determined that the device to be accessed does not have networking authority; when the comparison result is that the identity information of the device to be accessed does not exist in the network blacklist When it is in the networking blacklist, it is determined that the device to be accessed has networking authority.

When judging whether the device to be accessed has the right to connect to the Internet through the Internet whitelist, the identity information of the device that is allowed to connect to the Internet may be set in the Internet whitelist. When the networking request is received, the step of judging whether the device to be accessed has networking authority includes: judging whether the device to be accessed is in the networking whitelist according to the identity information of the device to be accessed.

When the device to be accessed is in the networking whitelist, it is determined that the device to be accessed has the networking authority; when the device to be accessed is not in the networking whitelist, it is determined that the device to be accessed is not in the networking whitelist The incoming device does not have the stated networking permission.

It is more beneficial to ensure the security of the host by judging whether the device to be connected has the permission to connect to the network through the networking whitelist.

In the present disclosure, the identity information of the device to be accessed is not particularly limited. For example, when the device to be accessed is a mobile device (eg, a mobile phone), the identity information of the device to be accessed may include an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI, International Mobile Equipment Identification) of the device to be accessed .

In the present disclosure, the networking whitelist may be pushed by the host to the networking device performing the networking method.

When the device to be accessed is not in the networking whitelist, the identity information of the device to be accessed is sent to the host, and the host authenticates it.

When the authentication is passed, the device to be accessed can be connected to the host to realize networking. And, in this case, the host pushes the information of non-whitelisted groups to the connected devices.

When the authentication fails, the device to be accessed is not allowed to access the host.

When the device to be accessed is in the networking whitelist, the networking device directly connects the device to be accessed to the host. And, in this case, the host pushes the information of the whitelist group to the connected devices.

In other words, as shown in FIG. 2, the networking method may further include step S140 performed after step S130.

In step S140, in response to an instruction of allowing networking returned by the host, the device to be accessed is connected to the host and connected to the network.

In the present disclosure, there is no special limitation on how to send the authentication information to the host. As an optional implementation manner, as shown in FIG. 2 , the step of sending an online authentication request to the host includes steps S131 to S133.

In step S131, it is determined whether the host is in the local area network.

When the host is in the local area network, in step S132, the network authentication request is sent to the host through the local area network.

When the host is not in the local area network, in step S133, the network authentication request is sent to the host through the WIFI network.

In the present disclosure, the network authentication request may be sent to the host through a communication module. As an example, the communication module in this embodiment is a narrow band (NB, Narrow Band), communication module. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the communication module may also be a communication module adopting communication methods such as Long Term Evolution (LTE, Long Term Evolution), 5G, etc., that is, a LET communication module, a 5G communication module, and the like.

In order to reduce energy consumption, as an optional implementation manner, after receiving the feedback from the host, the main control module and the NB communication module may enter a sleep state. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the networking method may include step S150 performed after step S140.

In step S150, a sleep control signal is sent to the power management module, so as to control the NB communication module and the main control module to enter a sleep state through the power management module.

Correspondingly, before receiving the networking request, both the main control module and the NB communication module are in a dormant state. This requires that modules that are in a dormant state, such as the main control module and the NB communication module, be activated after the networking request is received. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the networking method may further include steps S100 and S105 performed before step S110.

In step S100, the networking request is received.

In step S105, in response to the networking request, a power supply signal is sent to the power management module, so that the power management module supplies power to the current main control module to end the sleep state of the current main control module.

Further, in step S105, power can also be supplied to the NB communication module in the dormant state through the power management module to end the dormant state of the NB communication module.

In order to further ensure the security of the host, as an optional implementation manner, the host may set the networking duration of each slave device that accesses the host. When the slave device connected to the host exceeds the networking duration of the host, the host will disconnect from the slave device.

In other words, in the present disclosure, the main control module and the NB communication module need to be activated only after the networking request is received and the networking method is executed, while in other time periods, the main control module and the NB communication module are both dormant In the state, the energy consumption of the networked device including the main control module can be reduced.

As another aspect of the present disclosure, a networking method is provided, and the networking method can be performed by the device to be accessed (ie, the slave device) described above. As shown in FIG. 3 , the networking method includes step S210.

In step S210, when the first NFC module is excited by the electromagnetic field, a networking request is sent through the first NFC module, wherein the networking request carries the identity information of the current device to be accessed.

The networking method provided by the second aspect of the present disclosure is used in conjunction with the networking method provided by the first aspect of the present disclosure.

Specifically, the networked device has a second NFC module that provides an electromagnetic field. When the device to be accessed that is provided with the first NFC module enters the electromagnetic field provided by the second NFC module, the first NFC module is activated, and sends a networking request carrying the identity information of the device to be accessed currently to the networking device . After receiving the networking request, the main control module of the networking device executes the networking method provided by the first aspect of the present disclosure.

In the present disclosure, the identity information is sent to the networked device through the first NFC module, without the user's manual input, and sensorless networking can be realized.

As a third aspect of the present disclosure, a networking device is provided. As shown in FIG. 4 , the networking device includes a first storage module 310 , a first main control module 320 , a second NFC module 330 and an NB communication module 340 .

Specifically, the NB communication module 340 is configured to send the networking authentication request generated by the first main control module 320 to the host, and feed back the data sent by the host to the connected device.

The first main control module 320 of the networking device can execute the networking method provided by the first aspect of the present disclosure, and control the second NFC module 330 to receive the networking request sent by the first NFC module of the device to be connected, and firstly according to the The identity information carried in the networking request is used to determine whether the device to be accessed has networking authority. When the device to be accessed has the networking authority, the device to be accessed is connected to the host to implement networking of the device to be accessed. When the device to be accessed does not have the networking authority, the identity information of the device to be accessed is sent to the host for authentication by the host. When the authentication is passed, the device to be connected is connected to the host, and when the authentication is not passed, the device to be connected is not connected to the host.

In the process of executing the networking method by the networking device, the user of the device to be connected does not need to manually input data, so that true sensorless networking can be realized and user experience is improved.

Further, the networked device may further include a power management module 350, and the power management module 350 is configured to supply power to the first main control module 320 and the NB communication module 340 of the networked device. Specifically, when the power management module 350 receives the sleep signal sent by the first main control module 320, it controls the first main control module 320 and the NB communication module 340 to enter a sleep state with low power consumption. When the power management module 350 receives the power supply signal sent by the first main control module 320, it supplies power to the first main control module 320 and the NB communication module 340 normally to end the sleep of the first main control module 320 and the NB communication module 340. state.
