具体实施方式
图1示意性示出了可以应用本公开的一些实施例的技术方案的示 例应用场景100。
如图1所示,应用场景100包括客户端设备110。客户端设备110可以安装在产品的包装结构中,例如安装在诸如酒或其他饮料、化妆品等的瓶体或瓶盖(或者罐体或罐盖等)中、诸如服饰、珠宝或包袋等的防盗扣中等。客户端设备110可以以印刷电路板(PCB,Printed Circuit Board)、柔性电路板(FPC,Flexible Printed Circuit)、片上系统(SoC,System on Chip)、专用集成电路(ASIC,Application Specific Integrated Circuit)、现场可编程门阵列(FPGA,Field Programmable Gate Array)、可编程逻辑器件(PLD,Programmable Logic Device)或类似的硬件结构来实现,或者也可以以上述结构中的一种或几种的组合来实现。
在一些实施例中,客户端设备110可以包括芯片111、天线112和电源113中的一项或多项,以及可选地可以包括其他装置或结构。示例性地,芯片111可以独立地或与外围电路一起实现定时从休眠状态切换至通信状态、监测产品包装结构打开情况、发送设备信息、接收反馈信息等功能。例如,芯片111可以为小型化、低功耗的NB-IOT(Narrow Band-Internet of Things,窄带物联网)芯片等,比如XY1100芯片等。天线112可以用于收发信号(例如NB信号),可以被实现为例如定制的FPC天线等。电源113可以用于为芯片111、天线112和/或客户端设备110的其他装置或结构供电,可以被实现为一次性电池、可充电电池、太阳能电池等。例如,电源113可以为定制的锂亚硫酰氯高能量密度电池等。
在一些实施例中,客户端设备110上可以附有诸如二维码、条形码、RFID(Radio Frequency Identification,射频标签)、NFC(Near Field Communication,近场通信)标签等的标识码装置,用户120可以使用其终端设备122(例如智能电话、平板电脑、智能手表、智能眼镜等)扫描这些标识码装置以读取与客户端设备110或产品相关的信息,例如产品名称、生产商、生产时间、历史运输轨迹、开启状态等,或者也可以写入信息,例如与用户120相关的购买信息、个人信息等。可选地,这些可读取或写入的信息中的部分或全部可以存储在标识码装置本身中、存储在客户端设备110中或者被发送至服务器端设备(或简称为服务器)。
应用场景100还包括服务器130。示例性地,服务器130可以接收来自一个或多个客户端设备110的设备信息、定位该一个或多个客户端设备110、向其发送反馈信息等。服务器130可以是独立的物理服务器,也可以是多个物理服务器构成的服务器集群或者分布式系统,还可以是提供云服务、云数据库、云计算、云函数、云存储、网络服务、云通信、中间件服务、域名服务、安全服务、CDN、以及大数据和人工智能平台等基础云计算服务的云服务器。此外,应理解,服务器130仅作为示例被示出,实际上,也可以替代地或附加地使用其他具有计算能力及存储能力的设备或设备的组合来提供相应的服务。
在一些实施例中,应用场景100还可以包括管理平台设备140。管理平台设备140可以用于管理客户端设备110,例如从服务器130获取客户端设备110的位置信息并记录和分析这些位置信息、接收用户142的各种控制输入(比如查看位置数据、调整客户端设备的通信等待时间等)并基于控制输入向服务器130发送控制指令等。管理平台设备140可以根据具体应用需求被实现为各种计算设备,例如台式计算机、笔记本计算机、平板计算机、智能电话等。管理平台设备140可以经由有线或无线网络与服务器130相连接,例如经由电缆、光纤等有线网络,或者经由2G、3G、4G、5G、Wi-Fi、蓝牙、ZigBee、Li-Fi等的无线网络。
客户端设备110可以经由网络150与服务器130相连接。网络150可以是经由诸如电缆、光纤等连接的有线网络,也可以是诸如2G、3G、4G、5G、Wi-Fi、蓝牙、ZigBee、Li-Fi等的无线网络,还可以是上述网络中的一种或几种的组合。在客户端设备110包括NB-IOT芯片的实施例中,网络150可以为诸如2G、3G、4G、5G等的蜂窝通信网络。
图2示意性示出了根据本公开的一些实施例的用于客户端设备的产品追踪方法200的示例流程图,其中,客户端设备可以安装在产品的包装结构中。示例性地,产品追踪方法200可以部署于图1所示的场景100中的客户端设备110上。
具体地,在步骤210,响应于距上次触发达到预定时间间隔,使客户端设备由休眠状态切换至通信状态,并向服务器发送第一设备信息,第一设备信息包括客户端设备的设备标识。
示例性地,当客户端设备处于通信状态时,其可以支持数据传输 功能,例如,其可以与服务器或其他外部设备连接,并向服务器或其他外部设备发送数据或者从服务器或其他外部设备接收数据;当客户端设备处于休眠状态时,其可以不支持数据传输功能,而仅维持少量必要功能,比如计时功能、包装结构监测功能等。由此,相比于通信状态,当客户端设备处于休眠状态时,其功耗可以大幅降低,例如仅为通信状态功耗的约1/100、1/1000、1/2000、1/3000或更低。
示例性地,距上次触发是否达到预定时间间隔可以通过各种机械式或电子式的计时装置来确定。例如,计时装置可以借助晶振电路、RC(电阻电容)振荡器、MEMS(Micro-Electro-Mechanical System,微机电系统)时钟振荡器等来实现。可选地,预定时间间隔可以由客户端设备的生产厂商、产品管理人员、产品消费者等设定或修改。根据实际需求,预定时间间隔可以被设定为例如6小时、12小时、1天、2天或其他时间长度。或者,也可以通过设定频率等来间接设定该预定时间间隔。
示例性地,客户端设备的设备标识可以是预先设定的由数字、字母、符号或其他字符中的一种或多种构成的字符串,可以用于唯一地标识相应客户端设备,并从而唯一地标识相应产品。例如,设备标识可以为IMEI(International Mobile Equipment Identity,国际移动设备识别码)号、ICCID(Integrate Circuit Card Identity,集成电路卡识别码)号、IMIS(Internet Management Information System,互联网管理信息系统)号等中的一个或多个。可选地,除设备标识外,第一设备信息还可以包括其他信息,比如设备电量信息、所监测的产品包装开启状态、时间戳、当前信号强度信息等。示例性地,客户端设备可以预先存储有服务器的地址信息,例如URL(Uniform Resource Locator,统一资源定位符)地址、IP(Internet Protocol,网际互连协议)地址等,从而可以基于该地址信息接入服务器并发送第一设备信息。
在步骤220,响应于接收到来自所述服务器的定位反馈信息,使所述客户端设备由所述通信状态切换至所述休眠状态,其中,所述定位反馈信息包括指示已定位所述客户端设备的信息。示例性地,定位反馈信息可以包括指示是否成功定位该客户端设备的标识符,例如可以通过一个或多个字符来表示是否成功定位该客户端设备;或者,定位反馈信息本身可以表示已成功定位该客户端设备,例如服务器可以仅 在成功定位该客户端设备时才发送该定位反馈信息,在这种情况下,根据具体应用需求,该定位反馈信息可以包括任意字符内容,甚至不包括任何具体字符内容。示例性地,服务器在接收到客户端设备所发送的第一设备信息后,可以根据客户端设备连接服务器时所使用的基站、网关等来确定客户端设备的位置;或者,在第一设备信息包括诸如客户端设备的当前信号强度等信号特征信息的情况下,也可以基于信号指纹技术来确定客户端设备的位置;或者,在第一设备信息包括与定位相关的信息的情况下,也可以直接基于该定位相关信息来确定客户端设备的位置;等等。此外,根据实际应用需求,定位客户端设备可以指确定客户端设备的准确位置(例如经纬度坐标等)或所在区域范围(例如经纬度坐标范围、所在市、县、街道或小区等)。
在客户端设备恢复至休眠状态后,其可以在触发条件被满足时再次被触发。示例性地,在客户端设备因满足预定时间间隔条件而被触发时,其在恢复至休眠状态后,可以在预定时间间隔后再次被触发,或者也可能因包装结构被打开而被触发。
在步骤230,响应于监测到所述包装结构被打开,使所述客户端设备由所述休眠状态切换至所述通信状态和/或保持所述通信状态,并向服务器发送第二设备信息,所述第二设备信息包括所述客户端设备的设备标识和指示所述包装结构被打开的信息。
示例性地,监测包装结构是否被打开可以通过机械和/或电路结构来实现。例如,可以通过外部监测装置来监测包装结构是否被打开,该外部监测装置可以在包装结构被打开时发送触发信号来触发客户端设备的状态切换;或者,可以在包装结构的开启部位处布置与客户端设备相连的引线结构,使得当包装结构被开启时引线随之断开,从而触发客户端设备的状态切换;或者,可以在包装结构中布置与客户端设备相连的诸如光敏传感器等的传感装置,使得当包装被打开时,传感装置可以生成电信号以触发客户端设备的状态切换;等等。
示例性地,在客户端设备因包装结构被打开而被触发时,若客户端设备处于休眠状态,则客户端设备可以由休眠状态切换至通信状态;若客户端设备处于通信状态,则客户端设备可以保持该通信状态,以发送第二设备信息。当第二设备信息发送完毕后,在设备电量允许的情况下,其同样可以恢复至休眠状态,以在满足预定时间间隔条件时 被再次触发,或者,可选地,客户端设备也可以采取其他操作,例如自动关闭、自动销毁或继续保持通信状态直至电量耗尽等。应理解,在本公开的实施例中,包装结构被打开这一触发条件仅会发生一次,例如,如下文将详细描述的,包装结构是否被打开可以通过相关引线是否断开来监测,而这种断开是无法复原的。由此,本公开的实施例提供的产品追踪方法有助于避免回收包装结构来制造伪劣产品等现象。
示例性地,第二设备信息可以包括指示包装结构被打开的标识符,以及可选地包括表示当前时间的时间戳等。或者,第二设备信息可以不包括时间戳,而是由服务器基于接收到该第二设备信息的时间来确定包装结构被打开的时间。由此,可以实现实时监测产品包装开启状态及开启时间的功能。
通过本公开提供的产品追踪方法200,在满足定时条件时,可以令安装在产品包装结构中的客户端设备从休眠状态切换至通信状态,并向服务器发送第一设备信息,并且随后,在接收到来自服务器的定位反馈信息时,可以令客户端设备恢复至休眠状态。并且,在监测到产品包装被打开时,可以令客户端设备从休眠状态切换至通信状态和/或保持通信状态,并向服务器发送第二设备信息,相较于第一设备信息,第二设备信息可以额外包括指示包装结构被打开的信息。由此,可以实现定期监测设备位置的功能,并可以实时监测产品包装是否被打开(即,可以监测产品是否被使用)。同时,通过令客户端设备仅在需要发送设备信息时被触发以处于通信状态,并在未触发时处于休眠状态,可以有效降低客户端设备的功耗。在使用一次性电池的情况下,这有助于延长客户端设备的工作时长。此外,在由服务器对客户端设备进行定位的情况下,可以无需在客户端设备处部署较为复杂或功耗较高的定位装置,这有助于简化客户端设备的结构并进一步降低其功耗。
应理解,虽然产品追踪方法200中的步骤210-230被顺序示出和描述,但这并不意味着这些步骤必须按照所示出或描述的顺序来执行,并且,在顺序示出或描述的两个步骤之间也可以存在其他可选步骤。
示例性地,可以借助图3A-3B所示的结构来监测包装结构是否被打开。如图所示,图3A-3B以瓶盖(例如酒瓶盖)为例示出了一种监 测包装结构是否被打开的监测结构。
如图3A所示,瓶盖300A包括外盖310、内盖320和两者之间的可切断导体膜330。示例性地,外盖310和内盖320可以是由树脂、玻璃或其他非导电材料制成的,可切断导体膜330可以是铝膜,例如由铝或铝合金制成的薄膜,其厚度可以为例如0.5mm或其他厚度。可选地,除铝膜外,也可以使用其他电导体材料制成的薄膜。如图所示,内盖320可以包括围绕一腔体的内盖侧壁,外盖310可以包括在内盖320外侧围绕内盖侧壁的至少一部分的外盖侧壁,并且可切断导体膜330可以至少在所述外盖侧壁和所述内盖侧壁之间延伸。
内盖侧壁、外盖侧壁和可切断导体膜中的至少一个可以具有易破孔340。易破孔340可以构成环线,并将外盖310、内盖320和/或可切断导体膜330分为上下两部分。示例性地,易破孔340所构成的环线可以处于与盖300A的伸长方向相垂直的平面内,或者也可以处于不包括该伸长方向的其他平面或曲面内。易破孔340可以具有多种形式。示例性地,可以在附图标记340指示的位置处预先冲压出一圈孔结构,使得瓶盖300A容易在此处断裂,或者也可以在此位置做其他操作,例如将此位置附近的外盖和/或内盖处理为空心结构或薄壁结构,从而使得瓶盖300A易在此处断裂,等等。示例性地,可以通过旋转瓶盖300A使外盖310和/或内盖320在易破孔340处断裂来将其打开。随着外盖310和/或内盖320在易破孔340处断裂,可切断导体膜330可以随之被切断,从而使与之相连的触发引线被断开。客户端设备350可以通过胶接或其他方式固定在外盖310顶部内侧。外盖310与内盖320之间还可以具有至少一个引线槽360。触发引线可以被容纳在至少一个引线槽360中。可选地,引线槽360可以是如图3A所示的不对称的槽结构,一侧较长而另一侧较短,或者可以是对称的,或者也可以仅存在单个引线槽。
示例性地,客户端设备350中可以具有包括唤醒引脚的芯片,其唤醒引脚可以连接有唤醒电路,唤醒电路可以延伸出包括两根引线的触发引线,该两根引线可以通过引线槽360延伸,并通过导电胶被固定至可切断导体膜330,例如,一条引线可以在易破孔340上方固定至可切断导体膜330,而另一条引线可以在易破孔340下方固定至可切断导体膜330。唤醒电路可以被设计为:当瓶盖300A未打开时,两根引 线可以通过可切断导体膜330被短接,使得唤醒引脚处于高电平(或相反),从而使得客户端设备350处于休眠状态;而当瓶盖300A被打开时,瓶盖300A在易破孔340处断裂,可切断导体膜330破裂,两根引线之间的连接随之被断开,使得唤醒引脚电平被下拉电阻拉低(或相反),从而使得客户端设备350被唤醒至通信状态。此外,示例性地,客户端设备350可以包括天线(比如NB天线等),天线可以通过例如弹针接口连接到客户端设备350中的电路板上,并可以至少部分地容纳在例如引线槽360中。
可选地,客户端设备350可以包括外壳,该外壳可以通过粘性胶固定在外盖310上。示例性地,该外壳可以由诸如光敏树脂的材料制成,并可以具有开口,使得上述引线和/或天线可以通过该开口从该外壳延伸至例如引线槽360中。可选地,客户端设备350处还可以附有RFID、NFC标签等,使得用户可以使用诸如智能电话等的终端设备扫描这些标签,来获取设备信息(例如诸如IMEI号等的设备标识和/或其他信息)或写入其他信息。示例性地,RFID、NFC标签可以粘贴在客户端设备350的外壳上,例如粘贴在其顶部、侧面、底部等。
示例性地,外盖310可以包括外盖顶壁,该外盖顶壁在外盖侧壁的一端封闭腔体,并且产品追踪设备(例如产品追踪设备的外壳)可以附接至外盖顶壁的朝向该腔体的一侧。可选地,客户端设备350或其外壳下方可以具有隔离板370,其可以通过胶接或其他方式附接至产品追踪设备,并可以与外盖顶壁、外盖侧壁共同限定容纳该产品追踪设备的子腔体。隔离板370可以由与内盖320相同的材料制成,或者也可以由其他玻璃或树脂类材料制成,用以隔绝客户端设备350与瓶腔内的液体、粉末、膏体等物质,以便保护客户端设备350中的电路结构,同时确保瓶腔内物质不受污染。可选地,隔离板370可以避让引线槽360或者具有开口,以便引线可以延伸至引线槽360中。可选地,客户端设备350还可以包括检测产品使用量或剩余量的传感装置或与这种传感装置相连接,以便监测产品用量或剩余量;或者,客户端设备350还可以包括其他装置或与其他装置相连接,以便获取更多与产品相关的信息。可选地,这些相关信息均可以被包括在前述第一和/或第二设备信息中,并被发送至服务器。此外,可选地,外盖310上可以喷涂有诸如二维码或条形码的标识码,以便用户可以通过扫描 这些标识码来获取客户端设备或产品信息等。
示例性地,图3B示意性示出了瓶盖300B的示例尺寸。如图所示,外盖上侧的第一部分的直径D1可以为40mm,下侧的第二部分的直径D2可以为35mm,第一部分的高度L1可以为16mm,第二部分底侧至易破孔的高度L2可以为40mm,第二部分顶侧至易破孔的高度L3可以为5mm。在这种示例中,需要客户端设备具有较小的尺寸,以便被容纳在瓶盖300B中。通过简化客户端设备的操作并降低其功耗需求,根据本公开的一些实施例提供的客户端设备中的各种结构可以被定制为如下尺寸。示例性地,客户端设备中的芯片及外围电路可以被布置在圆形或接近圆形的PCB上,PCB厚度可以被制作为小于或等于2mm,直径可以为小于或等于25mm;用于为PCB供电的电源可以为定制的纽扣电池,其尺寸可以被设计为直径24mm,厚度3mm,输出电压可以为3.6V,电量可以高于或等于200mAH;外壳直径可以为27mm,厚度可以为6mm。应理解,上述尺寸仅仅是示例性的,实际上,可以根据具体应用设计不同尺寸的客户端设备及相关结构。
图4示意性示出了瓶盖400的开启过程。类似上文描述的,通过旋转瓶盖400的上侧部分,外盖410和/或内盖420可以在易破孔450处断裂,使得两条引线440可以由短接状态变为断开状态,从而触发客户端设备430由休眠状态切换至通信状态。
在一些实施例中,在步骤210中发送的第一设备信息可以包括第一设备连接信息和第一设备状态信息,并且步骤210可以包括:向服务器发送第一设备连接信息,第一设备连接信息可以包括设备标识;响应于接收到来自服务器的连接反馈信息,向服务器发送第一设备状态信息,其中,连接反馈信息可以包括指示连接成功的信息,第一设备状态信息可以包括以下中的至少一项:设备标识、网卡标识、设备电量、当前信号质量、当前时间、产品使用状态。在这些实施例中,当客户端设备从休眠状态切换至通信状态后,可以先向服务器发送第一设备连接信息,以便与服务器建立连接。可选地,除了诸如设备ID、IMEI、ICCID等设备标识之外,第一设备连接信息还可以包括服务器地址信息、设备验证信息等。服务器在接收到来自客户端设备的第一设备连接信息后,可以基于所存储的客户端设备列表或根据其他预设验证机制判断是否允许该客户端设备连接该服务器,若是允许的客户 端设备,则可以向该客户端设备发送连接反馈信息,以指示连接成功;若不是允许的客户端设备,则不发送上述连接反馈信息。客户端设备在接收到来自服务器的连接反馈信息后,可以向服务器发送第一设备状态信息,以向服务器报告客户端设备和/或产品的当前状态,例如电池剩余电量、当前网络信号质量、产品包装是否已被打开、产品使用量等中的一项或多项。在这种实施例中,通过先发送第一设备连接信息、后发送第一设备状态信息,可以确保第一设备状态信息被发送至正确的服务器,避免由于发送失败或发送错误导致的信息泄露问题或额外的能量消耗。
在前述第一设备信息包括第一设备连接信息和第一设备状态信息的实施例中,步骤210还可以包括:响应于在第一等待时间阈值内未接收到连接反馈信息并且第一设备连接信息发送次数未达到第一发送次数阈值,向服务器重新发送第一设备连接信息。以及,在这些实施例中,步骤210还可以包括:响应于在第一等待时间阈值内未接收到连接反馈信息并且第一设备连接信息发送次数已达到第一发送次数阈值,使客户端设备由通信状态切换至休眠状态。示例性地,第一等待时间阈值和第一发送次数阈值可以是由客户端设备的生产商或产品生产商预先设定的,以及可选地,可以由客户端设备或产品的管理人员根据需求调整,或者由消费者根据需求调整。例如,根据实际应用需求,第一等待时间阈值可以被设置为5秒、10秒、20秒、30秒等,第一发送次数阈值可以被设置为1次、2次、3次、5次等。通过设置第一等待时间阈值和第一发送次数阈值,可以进一步确保第一设备连接信息被成功发送至服务器,同时可以避免不必要的电力消耗。例如,在网络状况不佳时,第一设备连接信息可能难以成功发送至服务器或来自服务器的连接反馈信息可能无法被发送至客户端设备,此时,通过设置第一发送次数阈值,可以限制客户端设备对服务器的重连次数,从而避免多次反复重连导致的电力消耗。相反,在这种情况下,客户端设备可以先切换回休眠状态,待网络状况好转时再连接服务器并发送第一设备状态信息。
在前述第一设备信息包括第一设备连接信息和第一设备状态信息的实施例中,步骤210还可以包括:响应于在第二等待时间阈值内未接收到定位反馈信息并且第一设备状态信息发送次数未达到第二发送 次数阈值,向服务器重新发送第一设备状态信息。以及,在这些实施例中,步骤210还可以包括:响应于在第二等待时间阈值内未接收到定位反馈信息并且第一设备状态信息发送次数已达到第二发送次数阈值,使客户端设备由通信状态切换至休眠状态。示例性地,第二等待时间阈值和第二发送次数阈值可以是由客户端设备的生产商或产品生产商预先设定的,以及可选地,可以由客户端设备或产品的管理人员根据需求调整,或者由消费者根据需求调整。例如,根据实际应用需求,第二等待时间阈值可以被设置为5秒、10秒、20秒、30秒等,第二发送次数阈值可以被设置为1次、2次、3次、5次等。可选地,第二等待时间阈值与第一等待时间阈值可以相同或不同,第二发送次数阈值与第一发送次数阈值也可以相同或不同。类似地,通过设置第二等待时间阈值和第二发送次数阈值,可以进一步确保第一设备状态信息被成功发送至服务器,同时可以避免不必要的电力消耗。例如,在网络状况不佳时第一设备状态信息可能难以成功发送至服务器或来自服务器的定位反馈信息可能无法被发送至客户端设备,此时通过设置第二发送次数阈值可以限制客户端设备向服务器发送第一设备状态信息的次数,从而避免多次反复重发导致的电力消耗。相反,在这种情况下,客户端设备可以先切换回休眠状态,待网络状况好转时再重新连接服务器并发送第一设备状态信息。
在一些实施例中,在步骤220中接收的定位反馈信息还可以包括以下中的至少一项:指示修改前述预定时间间隔的信息、指示修改前述第一等待时间阈值的信息、指示修改前述第二等待时间阈值的信息、指示修改前述第一发送次数阈值的信息、指示修改前述第二发送次数阈值的信息。示例性地,上述各种涉及修改指示的信息可以是在服务器端设备处基于管理人员的管理输入生成的或者是服务器端设备根据客户端设备上传的历史设备信息及历史定位自动确定的,并在服务器端被添加至定位反馈信息中,以便被发送至客户端设备。在接收到这类信息后,客户端设备可以根据信息中的修改指示相应地修改预定时间间隔、第一等待时间阈值、第二等待时间阈值、第一发送次数阈值、第二发送次数阈值中的一个或多个。这些修改可以是即时生效的,即,客户端设备的下一次触发可以根据修改后的预定时间间隔来进行,以及可以根据修改后的时间和/或次数阈值来发送设备连接/状态信息。通 过该修改机制,可以允许根据实际需求调整预定时间间隔、第一/第二等待时间阈值及第一/第二发送次数阈值,从而增加客户端设备管理的灵活性。示例性地,可以根据客户端设备的剩余电量、客户端设备所处位置、产品开启状态等信息来调整这些时间和/或次数参数。例如,当剩余电量较低时、当客户端设备的位置在一段时间内无变化时或者当产品已被开启后,可以适当延长预定时间间隔、降低第一/第二发送次数阈值等,以便节约电量。
在一些实施例中,在步骤230中,向服务器发送第二设备信息的操作可以与前述发送第一设备信息的操作类似。示例性地,第二设备信息可以类似地包括第二设备连接信息和第二设备状态信息,并且向服务器发送第二设备信息可以包括:向服务器发送第二设备连接信息,第二设备连接信息包括设备标识;响应于接收到来自服务器的连接反馈信息,向服务器发送第二设备状态信息,其中,第二连接反馈信息包括指示连接成功的信息,第二设备状态信息包括指示包装结构被打开的信息和以下中的至少一项:设备标识、网卡标识、设备电量、当前信号质量、当前时间、产品使用状态。由此,可以确保第二设备状态信息被发送至正确的服务器,避免由于发送失败或发送错误导致的信息泄露问题或额外的能量消耗。以及,示例性地,第二设备连接信息和第二设备状态信息的发送过程也可以存在类似上文关于第一设备连接信息和第一设备状态信息描述的反馈机制,为简洁起见,在此不再赘述。或者,示例性地,向服务器发送第二设备信息的操作也可以与前述发送第一设备信息的操作有所不同,例如,客户端设备可以保持通信状态并持续向服务器发送第二设备信息,直至电量耗尽;或者,客户端设备可以以预设次数向服务器发送第二设备信息,随后采取关闭、休眠或销毁等操作;等等。
在一些实施例中,步骤210可以包括经由基站向服务器发送第一设备信息,基站可以被配置为将来自客户端设备的第一设备信息转发至服务器;以及步骤230可以包括经由基站向服务器发送第二设备信息,基站可以被配置为将来自客户端设备的第二设备信息转发至服务器。示例性地,基站可以指移动通信运营商搭建的公用移动通信基站,例如蜂窝网络中的基站。由此,可以利用现有基站实现无线通信,从而能够以较低的成本投入实现较广阔的通信范围。或者,基站也可以 是客户端设备的生产方或使用方自行搭建的。在这种实施例中,客户端设备可以支持与基站通信相关的通信协议,例如蜂窝网络中的相应通信协议,并可以通过诸如射频天线的天线结构向基站发送信号和/或从基站接收信号。本领域技术人员可以理解,在利用基站进行通信时,基站在接收到客户端设备的信号时,可以基于接收到的信号通过三角定位或其他定位算法来确定客户端设备的位置。由此,服务器可以从基站处获取相应客户端设备的位置信息,以便完成对客户端设备的定位。
在一些实施例中,方法200还可以包括:向服务器发送注册信息,注册信息可以包括设备标识;接收来自服务器的注册反馈信息,注册反馈信息可以包括设备标识和设备秘钥。在这些实施例中,在步骤210中发送的第一设备信息以及在步骤230中发送的第二设备信息还可以包括设备秘钥。示例性地,在第一设备信息包括第一设备连接信息和第一设备状态信息的实施例中,可以在第一设备连接信息中包括上述设备秘钥;在第二设备信息包括第二设备连接信息和第二设备状态信息的实施例中,可以在第二设备连接信息中包括上述设备秘钥。示例性地,设备秘钥可以是服务器为客户端设备随机生成的字符串,或者可以是根据预设机制确定的字符串,或者也可以是由管理人员预先指定的字符串,等等。在这种实施例中,客户端设备在首次开机后,可以通过预先存储的服务器地址信息自动连接至服务器,或者可以由管理人员手动连接至服务器。随后,客户端设备可以通过无线或有线方式向服务器发送设备标识(例如IMEI、ICCID等)等信息,服务器可以存储设备标识,生成并存储相应的设备秘钥,并向客户端设备发送该设备秘钥及其他可选信息,例如针对前述预定时间间隔、第一/第二等待时间阈值、第一/第二发送次数阈值的设置信息等。通过这种注册机制,可以确保仅成功注册的客户端设备才可以连接至服务器,从而避免恶意连接,以保证整个产品追踪系统的安全性。
图5示意性示出了根据本公开的一些实施例的用于服务器端设备的产品追踪方法500的示例流程图。示例性地,产品追踪方法500可以部署于图1所示的场景100中的服务器130上。
具体地,在步骤510,响应于接收到来自客户端设备的第一设备信息,可以基于第一设备信息对客户端设备进行定位。该客户端设备可 以安装在产品的包装结构中,并且第一设备信息可以包括客户端设备的设备标识。示例性地,如根据图2所描述的方法200,客户端设备可以在距上次触发达到预定时间间隔时从休眠状态切换至通信状态,并向服务器发送第一设备信息。在接收到第一设备信息后,服务器可以基于所接收的第一设备信息来对相应客户端设备进行定位,并可以在步骤520,向客户端设备发送定位反馈信息,该定位反馈信息可以包括指示已定位客户端设备的信息。在步骤530,响应于接收到来自客户端设备的第二设备信息,基于第二设备信息对所述客户端设备进行定位,并存储指示产品的包装结构在当前时刻被打开的信息,第二设备信息包括客户端设备的设备标识和指示包装结构被打开的信息。该过程已经在关于步骤210至230的描述中被详细介绍,为简洁起见,在此不再赘述。

类似地,在一些实施例中,第二设备信息可以包括第二设备连接信息和第二设备状态信息。在这些实施例中,步骤530可以包括:响应于接收到来自客户端设备的第二设备连接信息,发送连接反馈信息,其中,第二设备连接信息可以包括设备标识,并且连接反馈信息可以包括指示连接成功的信息;响应于接收到来自客户端设备的第二设备状态信息,存储第二设备状态信息,其中,第二设备状态信息可以包括以下中的至少一项:设备标识、网卡标识、设备电量、当前信号质量、当前时间、产品使用状态;以及,基于设备标识,对客户端设备进行定位。这些实施例及其优势已经在前文关于步骤230的相关实施例的描述中予以介绍,在此不再重复。另外,服务器在接收到来自客户端设备的第二设备状态信息后,可以存储所接收的第二设备状态信息,例如存储在该服务器的存储装置中或外部设备中。类似于前文所描述的,所存储的第二设备状态信息可以随后被客户端设备或产品的管理人员或者消费者查询。可选地,可以基于第二设备连接信息或第二设备状态信息中包含的设备标识以及可选的其他信息来定位客户端设备。
应理解,此处以及本文其他地方所描述的方法步骤不一定需要按照描述顺序来执行,其中一些步骤可以并行执行或以相反顺序执行。示例性地,本段描述的存储步骤和定位步骤可以并行执行或以与描述顺序相反的顺序执行。
在一些实施例中,步骤510可以包括:经由基站接收来自客户端设备的第一设备信息,基站被配置为将来自客户端设备的第一设备信息转发至服务器;基于客户端设备的设备标识,在基站处查询客户端设备的位置信息。在一些实施例中,步骤530可以包括:经由基站接收来自客户端设备的第二设备信息,基站被配置为将来自客户端设备的第二设备信息转发至服务器;基于客户端设备的设备标识,在基站 处查询客户端设备的位置信息。这些实施例及其优势已经在前文关于步骤210及230的相关实施例中予以描述,在此不再赘述。可以理解,在这种实施例中,其他信息的收发也可以基于基站来实施。

图6示意性示出了根据本公开的一些实施例的客户端设备管理方法600的示例流程图。示例性地,客户端设备管理方法600可以部署于图1所示的场景100中的管理平台设备140上,或者可以部署在服务器130或另外的服务器上并可通过管理平台设备140访问和使用。示例性地,可以通过类似图7A-7H所示的设备管理平台的界面图700A-700H来展示所存储的信息和/或接收各种管理输入。下文将结合图7A-7H来描述方法600的各种实施例。
具体地,方法600可以包括步骤610:记录由客户端设备发送至服务器的第一设备信息和第二设备信息以及由服务器确定的客户端设备的位置信息。客户端设备可以安装在产品的包装结构中,并可以被配置为执行参照图2描述的产品追踪方法200。示例性地,管理平台设备可以从服务器处获取上述第一/第二设备信息及位置信息。例如,可以实时从服务器处获取并存储新添加或发生更新的信息,或者周期性地从服务器处获取并存储新添加或发生更新的信息,或者基于管理人员的管理输入而从服务器处获取并存储新添加或发生更新的信息。
如图7A中的界面700A所示,在设备管理平台处,可以记录并通 过例如列表形式展示各个客户端设备的设备标识(比如序号、IMEI等),以及可选地可以展示相应的导入时间(例如注册到服务器的时间或从服务器导入设备管理平台的时间)。此外,可选地,还可以展示设置在各个客户端设备处的标志码装置的标识符,比如图中所示的RFID及NFC的编号。此外,如图7B、7C、7E、7F、7G中的界面700B、700C、700E、700F、700G所示,在设备管理平台处,还可以记录并展示更丰富的设备信息,例如位置信息、产品开启状态、当前信号质量、通信频次、电池电量、秘钥、所连接的服务器及端口、关于等待时间/发送次数等的阈值参数、客户端设备连接是否正常等。这些信息可以是由客户端设备基于前文所描述的各种实施例发送至服务器的,或者是服务器基于前文所描述的各种实施例生成和/或存储的。
在一些实施例中,方法600还可以包括:接收用户管理输入,用户管理输入可以包括以下中的至少一项:修改预定时间间隔、修改第一等待时间阈值、修改第二等待时间阈值、修改第一发送次数阈值、修改第二发送次数阈值;基于用户管理输入,向服务器发送管理指令,使得服务器在定位反馈信息中添加以下中的至少一项:指示修改预定时间间隔的信息、指示修改第一等待时间阈值的信息、指示修改第二等待时间阈值的信息、指示修改第一发送次数阈值的信息、指示修改第二发送次数阈值的信息。
示例性地,管理人员可以在图7B所示的界面700B中选择想要修改的一个或多个客户端设备,并在图7C所示的界面700C中录入用户管理输入。如图7B所示,可以通过各客户端设备序号前的选择框来选中一个或多个客户端设备,随后可以点击例如“批量修改”选项。然后,可以在所呈现的如图7C所示的对话框中设置修改后的预定时间间隔、第一等待时间阈值、第二等待时间阈值、第一发送次数阈值、第二发送次数阈值等中的一个或多个(即图7C中所示的通信频次、通信超时时间、重连次数等)。修改后的参数例如可以在相应的当前参数后方的括号中呈现。示例性地,当管理人员修改了某个参数后,该参数可以被传输至服务器处,若此时相应客户端设备刚好处于通信状态,则该修改参数可以通过定位反馈信息被发送至相应客户端设备;若此时相应客户端设备刚好处于休眠状态,则该修改参数可以被存储在服务器处,并在相应客户端设备切换至通信状态后通过定位反馈信息被 发送至该客户端设备。
在一些实施例中,方法600还可以包括:基于客户端设备的位置信息,在地图上标识客户端设备。
示例性地,管理人员可以在图7E所示的界面700E中查看各客户端设备的位置信息,并查看其历史轨迹。示例性地,当点击某个客户端设备的历史轨迹后,可以呈现如图7F所示的界面700F,其中呈现了相应客户端设备发送至服务器的所有历史位置数据。以及,可选地,可以在地图上呈现该客户端设备的当前位置或历史位置。另外,如图7H所示,在界面700H中,可以在地图中呈现多个甚至所有客户端设备的位置信息,例如呈现各位置区域中存在的客户端设备的数量等。由此,管理人员可以更直观地掌握客户端设备的分布情况,从而更直观、更全面地掌握相关产品的分布情况。
另外,可选地,如界面700A所示,可以允许通过“新增”或“导入”的选项来手动添加或导入特定客户端设备的信息,可以允许通过“数据下载”或“模板下载”的选项来以特定格式下载特定客户端设备的某些数据或全部数据。此外,如界面700A-700E及700G所示,可以允许通过筛选条件来对客户端设备的信息进行筛选,以查看所需要的客户端设备的信息。可选地,如界面700D所示,还可以展示各客户端设备的流量状况,例如已用流量、总流量、是否包年、开卡时间、到期时间等,以及可选地,可以允许修改这些信息,例如修改流量包大小、是否包年的选项、到期时间等。可选地,如界面700G所示,还可以获取并展示各客户端设备对应的产品信息以及消费者信息。示例性地,消费者信息可以是经消费者许可后从购物网站或经销商处获取的,或者可以是由消费者自行上传的。例如,消费者可以使用其终端设备扫描产品中的标识码装置并写入相关信息,或者使用其终端设备扫描标识码装置来访问服务器并直接向服务器发送相关信息。

在一些实施例中,上述电路板1500可以被固定在外壳中。外壳可以包括引线开口,使得上述触发引线可以通过该引线开口从电路板延伸至外壳外部,例如延伸至可切断导体。此外,外壳还可以包括天线开口,使得天线可以通过该开线开口被连接至外壳内的电路板。示例 性地,天线可以被附接在外壳的外部表面上,例如粘贴在外壳的外部表面上。此外,示例性地,产品追踪设备还可以包括电子标签,其也可以附接在外壳的外部表面上。例如,如前文所提到的,电子标签可以包括RFID标签和NFC标签中的至少一个,并可供扫描以获取与产品或产品追踪设备相关的信息。示例性地,外壳可以为圆柱形,天线可以贴合在外壳的一个圆形底面上,NFC标签可以贴合在外壳的另一圆形底面上,RFID标签可以贴合在外壳的侧曲面上。或者,也可以采取其他的方式布置天线和电子标签。
在一些实施例中,产品追踪设备1400还可以包括电池。电池可以被配置为为触发电路和通信电路中的至少一个供电,其可以类似于参考图1描述的电源113。示例性地,电池可以为前文提到的锂亚硫酰氯电池,这种电池具有高能量密度,能够以较小的尺寸存储较多的电量,从而有助于产品追踪设备1400的小型化。可选地,电池可以连接至电路板上的相应接口,并进而通过电路板上的引线结构被连接至通信电路和触发电路中的至少一个。此外,可选地,电池可以与电路板叠放在同一外壳中。
此外,在一些实施例中,产品追踪设备1400还可以包括时钟电路,其被连接至通信电路,并被配置为生成时钟信号。在这种实施例中,通信电路还可以被配置为,响应于时钟信号指示距上次触发达到预定时间间隔,传送设备信息。在一些实施例中,通信电路可以响应于时钟信号指示距上次触发达到预定时间间隔,从休眠状态切换至通信状态,这可以类似于前文参考图2描述的产品追踪方法200的各种实施例。时钟电路可以根据前文提到的计时装置的各种实施例来实现,在此不再赘述。
