Html page is stored in agent service program, and is requested and loaded when local application shell program is started, it provides interface for local application shell calling, and also includes authentication method for making identity authentication according to said login information, said authentication method includes method for requesting equipment authentication detection and authentication (login).

The local application shell program is a program which runs independently and can schedule a kernel of a system with a browser to finish rendering of a corresponding webpage. The local application shell program is responsible for receiving commands such as login information of a main program, and can be embedded with a kernel of a browser (used for requesting downloading, interpretation, execution and rendering of a webpage from an agent service program), and the kernel of the browser, namely a rendering engine adopted by the browser, determines how the browser displays the content of the webpage and the format information of the webpage. For example, a browser may be installed in the terminal system, and the kernel of the browser is embedded into the local application shell program, so that when the terminal starts the local application shell program, the local application shell program can directly load the kernel of the browser.

The proxy service program, i.e., HTTP (hypertext Transfer Protocol) proxy service program, is software that runs on a terminal and is responsible for processing HTTP requests and responses between the entire client and the electronic device. Html page is included in the proxy server. When the terminal using the proxy service program exchanges information with other devices in the network, the information is firstly sent to the proxy service program, the proxy service program forwards the information to the other devices, and the responses of the other devices are returned to the terminal.

HTTP request pass-through may be performed between the local application shell program and the proxy service program, for example, the local application shell program may initiate an HTTP request, and the proxy service program forwards the HTTP request to the corresponding device.

The electronic device 102 may be a device with a built-in web configuration function, such as a security industry device, such as NVR (network Video Recorder), IPC (IP Camera), DVR (Digital Video Recorder), and so on. The web configuration function is a function of implementing configuration through a web page, the web configuration function may be implemented by a web program built in the electronic device 102, the web program is an application program accessible through a web, the web program enables a user to easily access through a terminal, the terminal only needs to be installed with a browser to implement access to the web program, for example, data of a configuration page is acquired from the web program, and the configuration page of the device is rendered based on the data.

the login information of the target device is stored.

All the above-mentioned optional technical solutions can be combined arbitrarily to form the optional embodiments of the present invention, and are not described herein again.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a device configuration method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method is executed by a terminal, specifically by a client on the terminal, and referring to fig. 3, the method includes:

301. and after the main program is started, displaying a page of the main program, wherein the page comprises an equipment adding button.

The page may be the home page of the main program, or any page of the main program.

In the embodiment of the invention, the starting of the main program can be triggered by clicking the client icon by a user, when the terminal detects the clicking operation, the main program in the client can be started, the home page of the main program is displayed, and the button for adding equipment is displayed on the home page. Or, the user may click on the home page, for example, click on a function option, so that the terminal may jump from the home page of the main program to a corresponding page, where an add device button is displayed on the page.

302. And when the clicking operation on the button of the adding device is detected, the adding page of the display device is displayed.

In the embodiment of the invention, in the process of displaying the main program page by the terminal, a user can click the button of the added equipment in the page, and the terminal displays an equipment added page according to the click operation of the user. The device add page may provide input boxes for the user to enter login information, such as a username input box and a password input box. Of course, the device add page may also provide an input box for the user to input information of other devices, such as an IP address input box of the device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

303. When the login information of the target device input in the device addition page is received, the target device is added to the main program.

The target device refers to an electronic device which needs to be configured by a user.

In the embodiment of the invention, in the process of adding the page by the terminal display device, the user can input login information such as a user name, a password and the like in the device adding page, for example, the user name of the target device is input in a user name input box, and the password of the target device is input in a password input box, so that the terminal can acquire the login information of the target device from the device adding page. When the login information is successfully verified, the terminal can add the target device to the main program. The verification process of the login information may be implemented in a Software Development Kit (SDK) mode, where the SDK is an integrated library compiled by C + + and includes a private protocol and an interface for communicating with the device. Specifically, the terminal may send the login information to the target device based on a private protocol between the client and the target device, and the target device compares the received login information with the login information stored locally by the target device, and if the two are the same, the authentication is successful.

Of course, the user may also input other information of the target device in the device addition page, for example, input the IP address of the target device in the IP address input box, so that the terminal may acquire not only the login information of the target device from the device addition page but also the IP address of the target device.

It should be noted that the above steps 301 to 303 are one possible implementation manner of adding the target device through the main program. The mode is a case where the addition is successful, and in fact, a case where the addition is failed may also occur, such as that the target device does not currently access the network, or an input user name does not exist, or an input password is incorrect, and the like. In this case, the terminal may display a prompt message to prompt the user to perform input again.

304. The login information of the target device is stored.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the target equipment is successfully added, the terminal can store the login information of the target equipment, for example, the login information of the target equipment is recorded to a local database. Of course, the terminal may also store other device information of the target device, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that, the above steps 301 to 304 are one possible implementation manner for the terminal to access the target device through the client and store the login information of the target device. By storing the login information of the target device when accessing the target device for the first time, if the user wants to configure the target device, such as adjusting some parameters of the target device, during the use of the target device, the subsequent steps 305 to 317 can be directly performed without inputting login information such as a user name and a password.

305. Receiving a configuration instruction for a target device, wherein the configuration instruction is used for configuring the target device added in the main program.

The configuration instruction may be triggered by a click operation of a user on a configuration option, for example, the terminal may display a device page of the main program, where the device page is used to display all devices added to the main program and corresponding configuration options, where all the added devices correspond to one configuration option, or each added device corresponds to one configuration option.

If the user wants to configure any added device, one device can be selected as a target device, and a configuration option corresponding to the target device is clicked to trigger a configuration instruction for the target device, so that the terminal receives the configuration instruction for the target device.

306. And reading the configured agent port information.

Wherein the proxy port information may be HTTP proxy port information.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may determine the configured HTTP proxy port according to the configured HTTP proxy port information, where the HTTP proxy port is a port of a proxy service program, and is used to provide proxy services, such as forwarding an HTTP request and a response of the HTTP request. For example, the port of the proxy service may be 8080.

307. And when the port corresponding to the agent port information is not occupied, starting the agent service program.

Wherein the proxy server is configured to forward requests and responses between the client and the target device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the configured proxy port is not occupied, which indicates that the proxy service program can normally provide the proxy service, at this time, the terminal may start the proxy service program, and generate a target page, such as a dispatch. Html page can be written into the proxy root directory of the proxy service program by the main program of the terminal, for example. Html page may also be stored in the proxy server in a statically configured form, as will be appreciated.

It should be noted that, in this step 307, the configured port is not occupied, and actually, the configured proxy port may also be occupied, in this case, the terminal may display a prompt message for prompting the user to modify and store the proxy port information, and then execute the

above steps

306 and 307. For example, a user may attempt to select a different port within the port selection interval of the proxy server, and when any port is unoccupied, the proxy port information may be modified, such as modifying an occupied port to the unoccupied port.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal executes the above-mentioned step 306 to step 307 after executing the above-mentioned step 305, that is, after receiving the configuration instruction, the terminal detects or sets the proxy port, and starts the proxy service program. In fact, the terminal may also perform the above-mentioned steps 306 to 307 after performing the above-mentioned step 301, that is, after starting the main program, the terminal detects or sets the proxy port and starts the proxy service program.

308. And starting a local application shell program, and transmitting the stored login information of the target device to the local application shell program.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the terminal starts the local application shell program, the terminal may obtain the stored login information of the target device, for example, obtain the login information of the target device from the local database, and transmit the login information of the target device into the local application shell program.

It should be noted that, the above steps 305 to 308 are one possible implementation manner of starting the proxy service program and the local application shell program when the configuration instruction is received, and transferring the stored login information of the target device into the local application shell program. In this implementation manner, when the terminal receives the configuration instruction, the proxy service program is started, that is, when the user selects a certain device for configuration, the terminal is triggered to start the proxy service program and the local application shell program, and the forwarding address of the proxy service program is set in the subsequent step 309, so as to implement subsequent HTTP request transparent transmission. Therefore, after the configuration is completed, when the terminal closes the local application shell program, the proxy service program is also closed at the same time.

In fact, the terminal may start the proxy service program at other times, for example, the terminal may start the proxy service program after starting the main program, and then start the local application shell program when receiving the configuration instruction. That is, after the terminal starts the proxy service program, when the user selects a device to configure, the terminal is triggered to start the local application shell, so that the main program carries a corresponding device address in the HTTP request when transmitting the HTTP request of the local application shell program, and the HTTP request subsequently sent by the local application shell program carries a forwarding address (device address), so that the proxy service program forwards the request by identifying the address in the HTTP request. Therefore, after the configuration is completed, the proxy service program does not need to be closed when the terminal closes the local application shell.

309. And setting the forwarding address of the proxy service program as the address of the target device.

In the embodiment of the invention, as the user selects to configure the target equipment, the terminal can set the forwarding address of the proxy service program as the address of the target equipment, and if the proxy service program is already set with the forwarding address, the current forwarding address is modified into the forwarding address of the target equipment. Thus, in the configuration process, the proxy service program can forward the HTTP request initiated by the terminal to the target device and forward the HTTP response returned by the target device to the terminal.

It should be noted that the above steps 301 to 309 may actually be executed by a main program in the client of the terminal.

310. And loading a target page in the proxy service program through the local application shell program, and loading login information of the target equipment into the target page, wherein the target page is used for providing an authentication method for requesting identity authentication to the target equipment according to the login information.

Html page, wherein the target page may refer to dispatch.

In this embodiment of the present invention, after the local application shell program is started, the kernel of the browser may be loaded, and the kernel of the browser is used to load a dispatch.html page in the proxy service program and execute the dispatch.html page, that is, according to the method provided by the target page, an identity verification is requested from the target device, so as to obtain the configuration page of the target device, where the specific process includes calling an interface provided by the dispatch.html page to the local application shell program to load login information of the target device into the dispatch.html page, and subsequent steps 311 to 317.

311. And sending an authentication probe request to the target device, wherein the authentication probe request is used for acquiring the authentication types supported by the target device.

The device type may include Basic authentication and Digest authentication, among others. The Basic authentication is that a terminal encrypts login information such as a user name and a password in a Base64 encryption mode, an encrypted ciphertext is carried in an HTTP request, a target device decrypts the ciphertext after receiving the HTTP request, the decrypted user name and the decrypted password are compared with the locally stored user name and the locally stored password for verification, if the user name and the password are correct, the authentication is passed, namely the login is successful, and the target device sends requested data to the terminal according to the HTTP request. Digest authentication is to perform Digest operation on login information, such as MD5(Message-Digest Algorithm 5, information-Digest Algorithm 5) operation, to obtain a login Digest, then carry the login Digest in an HTTP request, and after receiving the HTTP request, perform Digest operation on locally stored login information of a target device, compare the operation result with the received login Digest, and if the operation result is the same as the received login Digest, the authentication is passed, that is, the login is successful.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the terminal wants to send a data request to a target device that needs to be authenticated, for example, request data of a configuration page, the terminal first needs to pass authentication of the target device, and wants to successfully authenticate, it needs to know an authentication type supported by the target device. For this purpose, the terminal may send an authentication probe request to the target device according to the device authentication probe method provided by the target page, and specifically, the local application shell program of the terminal may initiate the authentication probe request by using the kernel of the browser, and the authentication probe request is forwarded to the target device by the proxy service program.

312. Receiving authentication types supported by the target device.

The authentication types supported by the target device may only include Basic authentication, may also include Digest authentication, and may also include two authentication types, namely Basic authentication and Digest authentication. When the target device supports multiple authentication types, the terminal may select one authentication type with the highest security as the authentication type supported by the target device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the authentication probe request sent by the terminal, the target device may return the authentication type supported by the target device to the terminal according to the authentication probe request, for example, the target device may carry the authentication type in the authentication probe response and return the authentication type to the terminal. Specifically, the target device may send the authentication type to a proxy service program of the terminal, and the proxy service program forwards the authentication type to the local application shell program, so that a browser kernel in the local application shell program may receive the authentication type supported by the target device.

313. And sending an authentication request to the target equipment according to the login information of the target equipment and the authentication type supported by the target equipment.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the terminal acquires the authentication type supported by the target equipment, the authentication request can be assembled by combining the login information according to the authentication type. That is, the terminal may perform corresponding processing on the login information according to the authentication type, and then send an authentication request to the target device based on the processed login information.

In one possible implementation, the sending, by the terminal, the authentication request to the target device includes: processing the login information of the target equipment according to the authentication type supported by the target equipment to obtain the authentication information of the target equipment; and sending the authentication request to the target equipment, wherein the authentication request carries the authentication information.

Taking the authentication type as Basic authentication as an example, the terminal may encrypt the login information of the target device in a Base64 encryption manner to obtain a ciphertext, and the ciphertext is carried in the authentication request as the authentication information and sent to the target device. Taking the authentication type as Digest authentication as an example, the terminal may perform Digest operation on the login information of the target device to obtain a login Digest, and the login Digest is taken as authentication information and carried in the authentication request to be sent to the target device.

314. And receiving an authentication success message sent by the target equipment.

In the embodiment of the invention, after receiving the authentication request of the terminal, the target device can acquire the authentication information from the authentication request and perform authentication according to the authentication information. For example, the authentication type supported by the target device is Basic authentication, and the authentication information carried in the authentication request may be a ciphertext obtained by encrypting the login information. Correspondingly, after receiving the authentication request, the target device may obtain a ciphertext from the authentication request, decrypt the ciphertext, compare and verify the decrypted user name and password with the locally stored user name and password, if the user name and password are correct, the authentication is passed, and at this time, the target device may return an authentication success message to the terminal.

For example, the authentication type supported by the target device is Digest authentication, and the authentication information may be a login Digest obtained by performing Digest operation on login information. Accordingly, after receiving the authentication request, the target device may perform digest operation on the login information stored locally, compare the operation result with the received login digest, and if the operation result is the same as the received login digest, the authentication is passed, and at this time, the target device may return an authentication success message to the terminal.

After receiving the authentication success message, the terminal indicates that the login is successful, and the terminal may store the authentication information used in the authentication process, for example, a local application shell program of the terminal may store the authentication information by using a browser memory. The storage of the authentication information may be temporary storage, and after the configuration process is finished, the terminal may delete the authentication information.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, only two authentication manners, i.e., Basic authentication and Digest authentication, are taken as examples for description, and actually, the target device may further support other authentication manners, such as a session ID authentication manner, in this case, the terminal may obtain a session ID returned by the target device according to an authentication process corresponding to the authentication manner, store the session ID as authentication information, and send the session ID to the target device in a data request when subsequently requesting data from the target device.

It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention is described by taking the received authentication success message as an example, actually, if the authentication fails, the target device returns an authentication failure message to the terminal, so that the terminal receives the authentication failure message, or the terminal does not receive any return result due to network timeout, which indicates that the login fails, in this case, the terminal may display a prompt message to prompt the user that the login fails, and close the local application shell program, and at the same time, the terminal may also close the proxy service program.

It should be noted that, the above steps 311 to 314 are one possible implementation manner of successfully authenticating according to the authentication method provided by the target page. The above steps 310 to 314 are a flow of the terminal processing multiple authentications, where multiple authentications means that the target device may support multiple authentication types. The above steps 310 to 314 can be actually performed by the local application shell, specifically, the local application shell calls the browser kernel to perform the execution, and accordingly, the steps 310 to 314 are procedures of the local application shell calling the browser kernel to perform the login operation.

315. And sending a data request to the target device, wherein the data request is used for acquiring the page data of the configuration page.

The data request may carry authentication information of the target device, such as a ciphertext, a login digest, or a session ID.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the authentication is successful, namely the login is successful, the terminal can adopt a mode of sending a data request to request the target equipment for page data of the configuration page so as to render the configuration page of the target equipment.

316. And when receiving page data sent by the target device, rendering the configuration page based on the page data.

Wherein the page data is used to render a configuration page of the target device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving a data request of a target device, a terminal may send data of a configuration page to the terminal, and specifically, the target device may send the data to a proxy service program, and the proxy service program forwards the data to a local application shell program of the terminal.

317. Based on the page data, a configuration page of the target device is rendered.

The configuration page is used for configuring the target device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may render a configuration page of the target device based on the received page data, so that a user may configure the target device in the configuration page, for example, modify a certain configuration parameter of the target device.

It should be noted that, the above steps 315 to 318 are one possible implementation manner of displaying the configuration page of the target device after the authentication is successful according to the authentication method.

The above steps 310 to 317 may be actually performed by a local application shell in the client, specifically, by the local application shell calling the browser kernel, wherein the request and the response between the terminal and the target device are both forwarded through the proxy service. For example, this step 317 is actually the native application shell rendering the configuration page of the target device based on the configuration page data using the browser kernel.

In order to facilitate a more intuitive understanding of the technical solutions in steps 301 to 317, the following describes an overall flow of the technical solutions with reference to fig. 4. Referring to fig. 4, a flowchart of a device configuration method is provided, after a main program of a client is started, a user clicks an add device, and a device add page pops up. Then, the user can input login information (user name and password) to judge whether the main program is successfully added to the equipment, and if the addition fails, the main program can prompt the user to input again; if the addition is successful, the host program may record the device information (including the login information) to the database. When equipment needs to be configured, a user selects added equipment from a main program, clicks configuration options, then the main program can read configured HTTP proxy port information and detect whether an HTTP proxy port in the configuration is occupied locally, and if yes, the user is prompted to modify the HTTP proxy port information and save the HTTP proxy port information; if not, the host program may launch an HTTP proxy service (proxy root directory generates dispatch. html page). The main program may then launch the local application shell program, passing in the login information for the currently selected device. And then, the main program modifies the forwarding address of the HTTP proxy service program into the device address.

Furthermore, the local application shell program may load a dispatch.html page and call an interface provided by the dispatch.html page to import login information, then perform a login operation (send an authentication probe request and an authentication request) based on the dispatch.html page, and the HTTP proxy service program forwards the request to the target device and receives a result returned by the target device. The client can judge whether the authentication (or login) is successful according to the returned result, if not, the login is prompted to fail, and the local application shell program is closed; if so, storing authentication information such as a login abstract or a session ID by using a browser memory, and then attaching the authentication information to request the configuration page.

The execution of the login operation based on the dispatch.html page is to process a multi-authentication flow, and referring to fig. 5, a schematic diagram for processing the multi-authentication flow is provided, the dispatch.html page is loaded and executed (loading login information) by an application shell program, the local application shell program sends an authentication probe request and receives an authentication type supported by a device, after the authentication type is obtained, assembles an authentication request in combination with the login information, then sends the authentication request to the HTTP proxy service program and receives a return state.

Html page is stored in a client side, and an agent service program (with dispatch) and a local application shell program (with an embedded browser kernel) are combined to finish login-free of equipment, namely login information such as user name and password is avoided, a configuration page of the equipment can be entered, and finally a terminal uses data provided by the equipment to render the configuration page of the equipment, so that a user can configure the equipment on the configuration page, and the speed of configuring the equipment at the client side is improved.
