FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for network distribution provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method for network distribution is applied to a device to be distributed, and the method for network distribution can be performed by the device to be distributed, or by a server in a smart home system. With reference to Figure 1, the method for network distribution includes:

S101. When network configuration is required, enable a first hotspot whose name is a first preset name.

For example, when a new smart home device is added to the smart home system, the new smart home device needs to be networked, or, after a smart home device in the smart home system is restored to factory settings, the smart home The device needs to be networked. After the smart home device that needs to be networked is powered on, the smart home device opens the first hotspot whose name is the first preset name.

The first preset name is jointly agreed upon by the device to be configured and the device already configured. The device to be configured opens the first hotspot whose name is the first preset name, and the configured device scans the name of the hotspot. If the name of the hotspot is not the first preset name, the configured device continues the previous networking without switching connections. to the scanned hotspot; if the name of the hotspot scanned by the network-provisioned device is the first preset name, the network-provisioned device disconnects the current connection and connects to the first hotspot whose name is the first preset name.

For example, multiple preset names are stored in the databases of the device to be configured and the device that has been configured. When the device to be configured needs to open a hotspot, select a name from the preset names as the first preset name, and then Turn on the first hotspot whose name is the first preset name.

For devices that have been configured, the first hotspot can be connected. For example, in the databases of devices that have been configured and devices to be configured, the first preset password corresponding to the first preset name is stored; The device opens the first hotspot whose name is the first preset name and the password is the first preset password. After scanning the first hotspot whose name is the first preset The first preset password corresponding to the preset name, and then the device to be connected to the network through the first preset password; or, the first hotspot whose name is the first preset name has no access restriction.

In some specific applications, the number of devices to be distributed is multiple, and before the current device to be distributed opens the first hotspot, other devices to be distributed have already opened multiple hotspots.

In this case, the current device to be configured to open the first hotspot whose name is the first preset name includes: scanning to obtain the name of the third hotspot; if the name of the third hotspot is in the preset names, then in the preset A first preset name different from the name of the third hotspot is determined in the name; the first hotspot is opened according to the first preset name. The number of third hotspots here can be one or more. If the name of the third hotspot is in the preset name, it can be determined that the device that enables the third hotspot is compatible with the device currently to be configured, and the third hotspot is enabled. The device of the hotspot is also the device to be configured; if the name of the third hotspot is not in the preset name, the third hotspot and its name are ignored. By adopting the technical solution, the method for network distribution can simultaneously distribute the network to a plurality of devices to be distributed.

Further, determining a first preset name that is different from the name of the third hot spot in the preset names includes: determining that the priority of the first preset name is lower than or higher than the priority of the name of the third hot spot, so that the The network distribution device may determine the first hotspot whose name is the first preset name among the plurality of hotspots according to the priority of the name.

Here, the priority of the first preset name and the name of the third hotspot is different. In order to distinguish the order of opening the hotspots of the devices to be configured, it can be determined that the priority of the first preset name is higher than that of the third hotspot. , the higher the priority, the shorter the time for the device to be configured to open the hotspot; it can also be determined that the priority of the first preset name is lower than the priority of the name of the third hotspot, the lower the priority, the shorter the time to be configured. The shorter the time for the Internet device to turn on the hotspot.

When multiple devices to be distributed are simultaneously distributed, each device to be distributed has a different time to turn on the hotspot. For the device to be distributed that has the hotspot turned on at the current moment, the hotspot that is turned on at the current moment is the first hotspot. Before the current moment The hotspots opened by other network devices to be deployed are all third hotspots.

By adopting the technical solution, the names of the hotspots (including the third hotspot and the first hotspot) to be opened by a plurality of network devices to be distributed can be differentiated in priority.

In some specific applications, 3 devices to be configured are configured at the same time, the first device to be configured first creates a hotspot name and opens the hotspot, and when the second device to be configured creates a hotspot name, it is matched with the name of the first device to be configured. The name created by the network device has a priority difference. The hotspot name created by the third network device to be configured has a priority difference from the name created by the second network device to be configured. In this way, the three network devices to be configured are created All hotspot names have priority distinction: the priority increases in sequence, or the priority decreases in sequence.

In some specific applications, there is a specific order between the multiple preset names stored by the device to be configured and the device that has been configured. When creating a hotspot name, if the most advanced name among the preset names is not used, that is, If the hotspot whose name is the foremost name among the preset names is not scanned, the hotspot will be opened with the first name among the preset names; in this way, it is judged in a specific order whether multiple preset names are used, and the multiple preset names are used in turn. Set the first unused name in the name to turn on the hotspot.

S102. Receive second WiFi information of a second hotspot that can be networked and sent by a networked device connected to the first hotspot.

The second WiFi information includes the WiFi name and WiFi password of the second hotspot. The device to be distributed can access the Internet or the local area network in the smart home through the second hotspot that can be connected to the Internet.

In some specific applications, the number of network-configured devices is multiple, and multiple network-configured devices can scan the first hotspot whose name is the first preset name opened by the device to be configured, and can pass the first hotspot. The WiFi information of the hotspots that can be connected to the network is sent to the device to be configured, that is, the device to be configured can receive the WiFi information of multiple hotspots.

In this case, receiving the second WiFi information of the networkable second hotspot sent by the networked device connected to the first hotspot includes: obtaining the device type of the networked device corresponding to each hotspot; obtaining the device to be configured. determine the second device type associated with the first device type in the device types of the networked devices corresponding to the multiple hotspots; determine that the WiFi information of the hotspot corresponding to the second device type is that of the second hotspot Second WiFi information.

The second device type associated with the first device type means that the first device type and the second device type have the same function or have a cooperative relationship in function, for example, the first device type is an air purifier, and the second device type If the type is an air purifier, the first device type is associated with the second device type; if the first device type is an air purifier and the second device type is an oxygen generator, the first device type and the second device type are in the function or, if the first device type is a humidifier and the second device type is an air conditioner, the second device type and the second device type have a functional cooperation relationship and are associated.

In practical applications, one or more device types associated with the first device type may be stored in a database, and when the second device type needs to be determined, one or more device types associated with the first device type are obtained in the database determine whether the device types of the networked devices corresponding to multiple hotspots are the same as one or more device types associated with the first device type. If they are the same, the same one or more device types are the second device type. .

Optionally, determining the second device type associated with the first device type among the device types of the networked devices corresponding to the multiple hotspots includes: obtaining a first application scenario corresponding to the first device type, and, each time a second application scenario corresponding to the device type of the networked device corresponding to the hotspot; if one or more of the multiple second application scenarios are the same as or related to the first application scenario, then determine one or more application scenarios The device type of the networked device corresponding to the scenario is the second device type.

In an application scenario, multiple smart home devices work at the same time to jointly achieve a living state. For example, in the homecoming scene, the lights in the living room are turned on, and the air conditioner starts to work; in the falling asleep scene, the curtains are closed, and the air conditioner is set to a set temperature suitable for falling asleep.

Scenarios are associated, which means that two scenarios have a time sequence in the application sequence. For example, in the order of time, it can be a homecoming scene, a meal (which may include cooking) scene, a leisure scene, and a sleeping scene, wherein the homecoming scene includes turning on the living room lights and the air conditioner starts to work; the dining scene includes adjusting the oil absorption The hood and the smart stove are adjusted; the leisure scene includes adjusting the air conditioner in the living room, controlling the smart TV, etc.; the sleeping scene includes turning off the air conditioner in the living room and setting the temperature suitable for sleeping for the bedroom air conditioner.

For example, the first device type is a living room air conditioner, and the living room air conditioner can correspond to a homecoming scene and a leisure scene; if the device type corresponding to a hotspot is a living room lamp, the living room lamp can correspond to the second application scene, which can be a homecoming scene. The second application scenario is the same as the first application scenario, and it can be determined that the living room lamp is the second device type.

For another example, the first device type is a living room air conditioner, and the living room air conditioner can correspond to homecoming scenarios and leisure scenarios; if the device type corresponding to a hotspot is a range hood, the second application scenario corresponding to the range hood is a dining scenario, and In the user's living habits, the homecoming scene is followed by a dining scene, the first application scene and the second application scene are associated, and the range hood is determined as the second device type.

Select the networked device that matches the device to be configured among multiple networked devices, and connect the device to be configured to the hotspot connected to the matching networked device. During normal use, it can be better To make the network equipment to be distributed (during normal use, the equipment to be distributed has been connected to the Internet, the old name is used here to distinguish the equipment that has been distributed) and the equipment that has been distributed.

In some specific applications, after receiving the second WiFi hotspot information, the method for network configuration further includes: turning off the first hotspot.

S103. Connect to the second hotspot according to the second WiFi information.

In some practical applications, the device to be configured receives the identification information of the device that has been configured, and after connecting to the second hotspot according to the second WiFi information, is bound to the user identification information (Identity Information) associated with the identification information of the device that has been configured. Document, ID). Alternatively, the device to be distributed sends the identification information of the device to be distributed to the device that has been configured, so that the device that has been configured will send the identification information of the device to be distributed to the server after it is reconnected to the network, so that the server can bind the device to be distributed with the device. User ID bound to the configured network device. In this way, the operation of binding the device to be networked by the user can be reduced, and the user experience can be improved.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for network distribution provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method for network distribution is applied to a network-distributed device, and the method for network distribution can be executed by the network-distributed device, and can be executed by a server in a smart home system. With reference to Figure 2, the method for network distribution includes:

S201. Scan hotspot information, and if a first hotspot whose name is a first preset name is scanned, connect to the first hotspot.

The hotspot information here includes the hotspot name.

The first preset name is jointly agreed upon by the network-configured device and the network-to-be-configured device. When the networked device scans the hotspot information, the networked device can be connected to a hotspot, and can access the Internet or the local area network of the smart home through the hotspot; when the networked device can be connected to a hotspot, The networked device scans the hotspot information. If the scanned hotspot name is the first preset name, it will disconnect the currently connected hotspot and connect to the first hotspot with the first preset name; if the scanned hotspot name is the first preset name If the name is not the first preset name, keep the current connection.

For example, multiple preset names are stored in the databases of the networked device and the device to be configured. The networked device scans the hotspot information. If the hotspot name is scanned, it will compare whether the hotspot name is in the database. Among the stored preset names, if yes, then determine that the name of the hotspot is the first preset name, and the hotspot is the first hotspot; if the name of the hotspot is not among the preset names stored in the database, ignore the hotspot and its name.

For devices that have been configured, the first hotspot can be connected. For example, in the databases of devices that have been configured and devices to be configured, the first preset password corresponding to the first preset name is stored; The name of the device is the first preset name, and the password is the first hotspot of the first preset password. After scanning the first hotspot with the name of the first preset name, the network-configured device can obtain the first hotspot with the first preset name in the database. The first preset password corresponding to the preset name, and then the device to be connected to the network through the first preset password; or, the first hotspot whose name is the first preset name has no access restrictions.

In some specific applications, the number of devices to be configured is multiple, and one device that has been configured can scan the hotspots opened by multiple devices to be configured.

Optionally, determining that the first hotspot with the name of the first preset name is scanned, including: if multiple hotspots whose names are among the preset names are scanned, according to the priority of the names of the multiple hotspots, among the multiple hotspots Among the hotspots, the determined name is the first hotspot with the first preset name.

For example, the name with the highest priority is determined as the first preset name, and the hotspot corresponding to the name with the highest priority is determined as the first hotspot; or, the name with the lowest priority is determined as the first preset name, and the name with the lowest priority is determined The corresponding hot spot is the first hot spot.

In some specific applications, the priority of the first preset name determined by the device to be configured is higher than the priority of the name of the third hotspot, the name with the highest priority determined by the networked device is the first preset name, and the name with the highest priority is the first preset name. The hotspot corresponding to the name is the first hotspot. In this case, the device that enters the state to be deployed last is prioritized for network allocation.

In some specific applications, the priority of the first preset name determined by the network device to be configured is lower than the priority of the name of the third hotspot, the name with the lowest priority determined by the networked device is the first preset name, and the name with the lowest priority The hotspot corresponding to the name is the first hotspot. In this case, priority is given to the device that enters the network configuration state last.

In some specific applications, there is a specific order between the multiple preset names stored by the device to be configured and the device that has been configured. The last name among the plurality of names in the order of the preset names is the first preset name, and the hotspot corresponding to the first preset name is determined to be the first hotspot.

S202. Send the second WiFi information of the second hotspot that can be connected to the Internet to the device to be distributed through the first hotspot.

The device to be distributed can access the Internet or the local area network in the smart home through the second hotspot that can be connected to the Internet.

If the networked device is connected to the second hotspot before connecting to the first hotspot, after the networked device sends the second WiFi information of the second hotspot that can be connected to the network to the device to be networked, the networked device disconnects from the network. The connection to the first hotspot, reconnect to the second hotspot.

Optionally, the second WiFi information of the second hotspot that can be connected to the Internet is sent to the device to be networked through the first hotspot, including:

If multiple networked devices are connected to the first hotspot at the same time, each networked device sends the device type of each networked device and the WiFi information of the corresponding hotspot to the to-be-configured device through the first hotspot. Make the device to be configured network determine the second device type corresponding to the first device type from the device types of the networked devices corresponding to the multiple hotspots according to the first device type of the device to be configured to the network, and then determine the second device type The WiFi information of the corresponding hotspot is the second WiFi information of the second hotspot.

In some practical applications, the network-distributed device sends the identification information of the network-distributed device to the network-distributed device, so that the network-distributed device is bound to the network-distributed device after connecting to the second hotspot according to the second WiFi information. The user ID corresponding to the identification information of the device. Alternatively, the network-distributed device receives the identification information of the network-to-be-distributed device sent by the network-distributed device, and after the network-distributed device is reconnected to the network, sends the identification information of the to-be-distributed device to the server, so that the server binds the to-be-distributed device to the network. Set to the user ID bound to the configured network device.
