Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Limited by the P2P protocol specification, a user needs to perceive GO and GC identities in a P2P network, and a device of the user can only directly connect with a GO device in the P2P network for networking, and if a target device of the user is a GC device in the P2P network, the device of the user cannot directly connect with a target device (GC device) in the P2P network for networking.

For example, fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating different requirements of a user using a mobile phone to project a screen in the prior art, and as shown in fig. 2, the scene may include a mobile phone 201 and a television 202. In normal operation, the handset 201 may request networking with the television 202, and the handset 201 is connected to the television 202 for screen projection. In order to meet specific requirements of users, two mobile phones can be connected to the same television at the same time for screen projection. Fig. 2a is a schematic diagram of a two-phone screen projection method for the same television in the prior art, as shown in fig. 2a, a mobile phone 201a (mobile phone a) and a mobile phone 201B (mobile phone B) may be networked with a television 202, the mobile phone 201a (mobile phone a) and the mobile phone 201B (mobile phone B) are simultaneously connected to the television 202 for screen projection, and the television 202 may simultaneously display screen projection images of the mobile phone 201a (mobile phone a) and the mobile phone 201B (mobile phone B).

In the current implementation, the application layer defines the identity of the television 202 as GO, and thus either one or both of the handsets are connected to the television 202 as a GC (GO). However, the user cannot perceive the identity information of the mobile phone and the television 202, i.e., cannot perceive which device is GO and which device is GC. In this case, the user cannot connect the mobile phone (GC) to the speaker 203 for voice delivery while the mobile phone (GC) is projected on the television 202.

To sum up, it can be determined that, in the existing technical solution, an upper layer service or a user needs to explicitly specify an equipment identity (GO identity, GC identity), and after the equipment identity is determined, switching of the equipment identity cannot be performed to meet a networking requirement of the user.

In order to overcome the foregoing technical problem, an embodiment of the present application provides an apparatus networking method, where when performing apparatus networking by using the apparatus networking method, a user does not need to specify an identity of an apparatus in a target network, and may directly request to perform networking with a target apparatus in the target network. When the GC device in the target network determines that the GC device is the target device requested to be directly connected with the network, the target device can be re-networked with the GO identity after the current network is deleted and the device identity is switched, so that the original GO device and the device of the user are respectively connected, and the requirement that the user is directly connected with the target device in the target network through the device of the user is met.

The device networking method provided by the embodiment of the application is that after a one-to-one network is formed, networking control of the one-to-one network is added to a third device. Fig. 3 is a one-to-one networking flow chart provided in an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 3, the one-to-one networking flow may include the following steps:

step 301: device a requests to connect to device B.

Step 302: device a creates a GO identity.

Step 303: device a sends an M2 message to device B in the GO identity.

Step 304: and the device B completes connection with the device A according to the M2 message, and the device A and the device B form a one-to-one networking.

In the initial state, there is no networking between the device a and the device B, that is, the device identities of the device a and the device B are initial identities (INIT identities). In the initial state, device a and device B broadcast M1 messages with INIT identities.

Wherein the M1 message is a status broadcast message of the device. After each device starts, an M1 message may be continuously broadcast and transmitted through BLE, where the M1 message may include the following information: the Device identification (Device ID), the Device identity (Role), the GO Device identification (PeerGO) connected with the Device, and the number (GCNum) of GC devices connected with the Device. Through the M1 message, the device state and the device capability can be exchanged and perceived among the devices. The device identity in the M1 message of the device may include GO, GC, or INIT, and it may be determined whether the device is already networked according to the device identity, and if the device identity is INIT, it is determined that the device is in an initial state and no networking is performed; if the device identity is not INIT, it is determined that the device is already networked, and it may be further determined whether the identity of the device in the network is GO or GC. If the device does not perform networking (Role = INIT), peerGO and GCNum in the M1 message broadcast by the device are null. If the device is already networked (Role = GO/GC), further, if the identity of the device in the network is GO, and PeerGO in the M1 message broadcast by the device is empty, the number of GC devices connected to the device (Role = GO) may be shown in GCNum, for example, GCNum =1, which indicates that the device is connected to 1 GC device, and GCNum =2, which indicates that the device is connected to 2 GC devices. If the identity of the device in the network is GC, and GCNum in the M1 message broadcast by the device is null, the device ID of the GO device connected to the device may be shown in PeerGO.

As shown in fig. 3, in the specific implementation of steps 301-304, device a may initiate networking and connect with device B. The device A can determine that the current device identity of the device B is INIT through the M1 message broadcasted by the device B, the device A firstly creates a GO and uses the GO as a GO device, and sends an M2 message request connection to the device B by the GO identity, the device B performs network connection with the device A after receiving the M2 message sent by the device A, and the GO is used as a GC device in a GO network created by the device A, and one-to-one device networking is completed.

The M2 message is a networking secret key message, and no matter the GO equipment initiates networking to actively connect with the GC equipment or the GC equipment actively initiates a networking request to connect with the GO equipment, finally the GO equipment sends the network secret key information of the equipment to the GC equipment to be connected through the M2 message. The M2 message may include the following information: service Set Identifier (SSID), GO network key. After receiving the M2 message sent by the GO device, the GC device may join the GO network according to the SSID and GO network key connection therein.

After the one-to-one network is formed, networking control may be performed when a third device requests to join the one-to-one network. In the one-to-one network, device a is a GO device, device B is a GC device, and a third device (device C) requests to join the one-to-one network.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a device networking requirement according to still another embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 4, when a device C in an initial state requests to join a one-to-one network (a target network) formed by a device a and a device B, the device C requests a target device of a direct connection networking to be a device a in the one-to-one network or a device B in the one-to-one network.

If the target device of the device C is the device a, the device C sends an M3 message to the device a to request to directly join the network with the device a. Since device a is a GO device in the network, device a (GO device) has the ability to connect multiple GC devices simultaneously, and device a can maintain the current one-to-one network. The M3 message is a networking request message, and the M3 message includes the following information: the device identification of the GC device which initiates the networking request, and the device identification of the target device. The device identifier of the target device may be obtained according to the M1 message broadcast by the target device.

Further, after receiving the M3 message sent by the device C, the device a determines that the device a itself is the GO device, and may reply an M2 message to the device C to notify the device C (formed by the device a and the device B) of the SSID of the one-to-one network and the GO network key. After receiving the M2 message replied by the device a, the device C may join the GO network according to the SSID therein and the GO network key connection, so as to form three device networking in which the device a is connected to the device B and the device C, respectively, as shown in fig. 5, so as to implement direct connection networking between the device C and a target device (device a).

As shown in fig. 4, if the target device of the device C is the device B, the device C sends an M3 message to the device B to request to directly join the network with the device B. Since the device B is a GC device in the network and the GC device can only be connected to one GO device, in order to meet the requirement of direct connection networking between the device C and the device B (currently, the GC device), direct connection networking between the device C and the target device (device B) can be realized through network recombination.

Fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a device requesting to join a P2P network (a one-to-one network formed by connecting a device a and a device B) according to yet another embodiment of the present application, where the device networking method provided in the embodiment illustrated in fig. 6 includes the following steps:

step 601: device C requests connection to device B (GC device).

Step 602: device C sends an M3 message to device B requesting to connect to device B.

Step 603: the device B judges that the device B is GC device and cannot be directly networked with the device C.

Step 604: device B sends an M4 message to device a (GO device) requesting a re-networking.

Step 605: after disconnecting the network connection with the device a, the device B creates a GO identity, and sends an M2 message to the device a and the device C, respectively, with the GO identity.

Step 606: device a and device C connect with device B, respectively, according to the M2 message to form a second network.

In a one-to-one network (first network) formed by connecting device a and device B, device a is a GO device in the first network, and device B is a GC device in the first network. And the equipment C is INIT equipment to be directly connected with the equipment B for networking.

After each device starts up, an M1 message (status broadcast message) may be continuously broadcast through BLE. Wherein, device B continuously broadcasts a first status broadcast message through BLE, and the first status broadcast message may include: device ID of device B, current device identity (GC) of device B, and device ID of GO device in first network (PeerGO), i.e., device ID of device a).

Device a continuously broadcasts a second status broadcast message over BLE, which may include: the device ID of device a, the current device identity (GO) of device a, and the number of GC devices (GCNum) to which the GO device has been connected in the first network, i.e., the number of GC devices to which device a is connected, the current device a (GO) is connected only to device B (GC), and thus GCNum =1 in the current second status broadcast message.

Device C continuously broadcasts a third status broadcast message over BLE, which may include: the device ID of device C and the current device identity (INIT) of device C.

In the specific implementation of step 601, the device C attempts to directly network with a target device (device B in the first network), the device C may generate a connection request event requesting to connect to the device B, after the connection request event is generated, the device C determines whether the number of GC devices (GCNum) in the first network is less than a set number N, and continues to execute step 602 after determining that GCNum is less than N, and if it is determined that GCNum is greater than or equal to N, the connection request event is ended.

Specifically, the device C may obtain the first status broadcast message broadcasted by the target device (device B), and since the target device (device B) is a GC device in the first network, the number of GC devices in the first network cannot be known according to the first status broadcast message, but the device ID of the GO device in the first network may be obtained. Further, a second status broadcast message broadcasted by the GO device (i.e., device a) may be acquired according to the device ID of the GO device in the first network, and it may be determined whether the number of GC devices (GCNum) in the first network is less than the set number N according to the second status broadcast message.

In a specific implementation of step 602, after determining that the GC devices in the first network are less than the set number N, the device C may send an M3 message to the target device (device B), where the M3 message may include the device ID of the device C and the device ID of the target device (device B).

In the specific implementation of step 603, after receiving the M3 message sent by the device C, the device B determines that the device C requests to perform direct connection networking with its own device, and determines that the device B cannot directly perform networking with the device C according to its own current identity (GC device), and needs to perform re-networking, and performs step 604.

In an implementation of step 604, device B (GC device) sends an M4 message to device a (GO device) requesting to reform the current network (first network). The message M4 is a network reorganization request message, and after two devices (GO device and GC device) successfully build a network, the GC device can inform the GO device of network reorganization and delete the current networking by sending the M4 message to the GO device. The M4 message may include: the device ID of the GC device (device B) that initiated the regrouping network request and the device ID of the GO device (device a) in the current network.

In one embodiment, after sending the M4 message to device a (GO device), device B may wait for device a (GO device) to complete the network disconnection with device B and the current network deletion, and then proceed to step 605.

In another embodiment, after sending the M4 message to device a (GO device), device B may actively disconnect the network connection with the first network (i.e., delete the GC) in order to quickly implement network reorganization, and then proceed to step 605.

It should be noted that during the network switching period, the original two devices (the GO device and the GC device in the first network) may have a certain time interruption (in some measurement experiments, the interruption time is generally about 500 ms), and during this time, the user experience is maintained through the cache and the user interaction. In addition, the IP address of the device inevitably changes, and the application needs to perform related sensing and processing.

In the specific implementation of step 605, after the device B disconnects the network connection with the device a, the device B may create a GO identity, and send M2 messages to the device a and the device C respectively by using the GO identity, and after receiving the M2 message sent by the device B, the device a and the device C respectively perform network connection with the device B, and then both the device a and the device C serve as GC devices in the GO network created by the device a, thereby completing networking (i.e., forming a second network).

The process of network reconfiguration provided in the embodiment shown in fig. 6 is as shown in fig. 6a, where device a and device B are deleted to form a one-to-one network, and device B is used as GO to create a second network, so that device a and device C are connected to device B respectively to form three devices, i.e., device B and device C, to form a pair of a and a pair of C network.

The device networking method provided by the embodiment shown in fig. 6 is specifically described below by taking a screen-casting scene as an example.

Fig. 7a is a schematic diagram of a direct connection networking for increasing screen projection of a mobile phone according to still another embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 7a, a mobile phone 701 and a television 702 have formed a one-to-one networking (a first network), where in the first network, the mobile phone 701 is a GO device and the television 702 is a GC device. When another mobile phone needs to screen the television 702, the mobile phone needs to directly connect with the television 702 for networking. In this scenario, two mobile phones exist at the same time, and are respectively labeled as a mobile phone 701a and a mobile phone 701b for distinguishing the two mobile phones, where the mobile phone 701a is a mobile phone that is networked with the television 702 in a one-to-one manner in the first network, and the mobile phone 701b is another mobile phone that requests to join a screen.

The handset 701b (INIT device) attempts to connect to the television 702 and acquires a first status broadcast message broadcast by the television 702 (GC device) to acquire the device ID of the handset 701 a. And a second status broadcast message broadcasted by the mobile phone 701a is obtained according to the device ID of the mobile phone 701a, so as to determine whether the number of GC devices in the target network (first network) is less than the set number N (N may be 2). That is, the handset 701b, when determining that there is only one GC device in the first network, transmits an M3 message to the television 702 requesting connection to the television 702. After receiving the M3 message sent by the cell phone 701b, the television 702 determines that the television 702 is a GC device and cannot directly network with the cell phone 701b, and the television 702 sends an M4 message to the cell phone 701a to request to network again. After receiving the M4 message, the handset 701a performs an operation of deleting the first network. To quickly implement the re-networking, the television 702 may actively disconnect the network connection with the handset 701a and create a GO identity. The television 702 sends M2 messages to the mobile phone 701a and the mobile phone 702b respectively by the GO identity, and requests the mobile phone 701a and the mobile phone 702b to perform networking, so that the television 702, the mobile phone 701a and the mobile phone 702b complete networking to form a second network.

Fig. 7b is a schematic diagram of a mobile phone directly connected to a television and a smart speaker respectively for networking, as shown in fig. 7b, a mobile phone 701 and a television 702 have already formed a one-to-one networking (a first network), where in the first network, the mobile phone 701 is a GO device, and the television 702 is a GC device. The mobile phone 701 wants to connect to the speaker 703 again, and transmits the sound to the speaker 703 for playing. Since the mobile phone 701 is a GO device in the first network, it can perform networking with the speaker 703. Further, the mobile phone 701 may actively send an M2 message to the speaker 703 to request networking with the speaker 703. The sound box 703 is connected to the mobile phone 701 according to the received M2 message, thereby completing the direct connection networking between the mobile phone 701 and the sound box 703, and further the mobile phone 701 can project a screen on the television 702, and transmit corresponding audio information to the sound box 703, so that the sound box 703 plays corresponding sound.
