Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a device activation method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps:

s201, connection is established with the handheld terminal.

S202, receiving the personnel information sent by the handheld terminal, and verifying the personnel information.

S203, if the personnel information passes the verification, receiving the anti-counterfeiting information of the equipment sent by the handheld terminal, and verifying the anti-counterfeiting information. The anti-counterfeiting information of the equipment is acquired by the handheld terminal from a third party, and specifically, the anti-counterfeiting information of the equipment can be issued to the handheld terminal after a management center allocates tasks to personnel.

S204, if the anti-counterfeiting information passes the verification, the equipment is determined to be successfully activated.

In the embodiment, the communication module of the equipment is connected with the handheld terminal, the personnel information is verified in advance, the anti-counterfeiting information is verified after the personnel information is verified, the equipment is successfully activated after the anti-counterfeiting information is verified, the verification and activation of the equipment are automatically completed by combining the personnel information and the anti-counterfeiting information, the authorized legal installation and debugging personnel can be ensured to verify and activate the equipment, the verification of bad products can be avoided by the anti-counterfeiting information of the equipment, the verification is fast, and the confidentiality and the safety of the verification and activation process are improved. The whole verification and activation process does not need to manually input the password, and installation and debugging personnel can not see the password, so that the confidentiality is very high.

When the communication module of the equipment is powered on for the first time, the current position information of the equipment, the identification information (such as a bar code) of the equipment and other key information can be uploaded to a management center, so that tasks can be distributed and verification can be carried out according to the information subsequently. In addition, the management center can set two states of non-activated state and activated state for the equipment according to the actual condition of the equipment, and the two states are taken as one of the considered bases when tasks are distributed.

In one embodiment, the verifying the personnel information comprises: forwarding the personnel information to a management center so that the management center can verify the personnel information; receiving a first verification result sent by the management center, wherein if the first verification result is that personnel information passes verification, the handheld terminal is instructed to send the anti-counterfeiting information; the personnel information is the personnel information of the debugging application currently logged in the handheld terminal, and the personnel information at least comprises: personnel identification and regional rights.

Wherein, the management center verifies personnel information and includes: (1) whether the personnel information is legally registered installation and debugging personnel or not; (2) whether the regional authority of the person matches the location information of the device. If either of the two is not qualified, the personnel information verification is not passed. The personnel identification comprises: the name, the job number, the photo, the affiliated company and the like. After receiving the first verification result, the communication module can forward the first verification result to the handheld terminal, if the first verification result is that the personnel information verification passes, the handheld terminal sends anti-counterfeiting information to the communication module, and if the first verification result is that the personnel information verification fails, the handheld terminal can prompt that the verification fails and inform installation and debugging personnel of the failure of the verification so as to seek a solution. Preferably, the personnel information sent by the handheld terminal to the communication module for verification can also include current positioning information of personnel (namely the current positioning information of the handheld terminal), when the management center verifies the personnel information, whether the current positioning information of the personnel is matched with the position information of the equipment can be verified, and if the current positioning information of the personnel is matched with the position information of the equipment, the personnel is shown to be in an engineering site.

The embodiment can simply and reliably realize the verification of the validity and the matching of the personnel information.

In one embodiment, verifying the anti-counterfeiting information comprises: decrypting the anti-counterfeiting information by using a preset algorithm to obtain personnel information and an equipment authorization code; comparing the personnel information and the equipment authorization code obtained by decryption with corresponding locally stored information; and if the comparison results are consistent, determining that the anti-counterfeiting information passes the verification.

The anti-counterfeiting information is obtained by calculating the personnel information and the equipment authorization code by the management center by using a preset algorithm, namely, the same encryption and decryption algorithms are stored in the management center and the communication module, and the embodiment of the invention does not describe and limit the encryption and decryption algorithms in detail. Before the anti-counterfeiting information is received, the verification of the personnel information is completed, and at the moment, the personnel information after passing the verification can be stored as the basis for the subsequent verification of the anti-counterfeiting information. The device authorization code may be set when the device leaves a factory, for example, the device authorization code is divided according to regions, the device authorization code may be set according to a sales region when leaving a factory, and the device authorization codes of devices installed in the same region are all the same, such as the device authorization code 01 of a device installed in a beijing region, which is only an example, and the actual authorization code may be set more complicatedly, which increases the difficulty of cracking. Preferably, in order to further improve the security and avoid the leakage of the device authorization code, the device authorization code may be set to be updated periodically according to a preset rule, specifically, the device authorization code stored in the management center is updated according to the preset rule, the communication module is automatically connected to the management center to update the locally stored device authorization code, and the device anti-counterfeiting information calculated by the management center using the preset algorithm may also use the latest device authorization code, so that the handheld terminal may receive the anti-counterfeiting information including the latest device authorization code after being connected to the management center. After the communication module verifies the anti-counterfeiting information, the anti-counterfeiting information verification result can be sent to the handheld terminal to inform installation and debugging personnel of the verification condition.

According to the embodiment, after the personnel information passes the verification, the anti-counterfeiting information from the third party is decrypted and verified by using the preset algorithm, so that the safety is further ensured, and the intervention of bad products or illegal personnel is avoided. By the aid of the dynamic device authorization code, a lawbreaker can be prevented from unlocking the device arbitrarily after acquiring a group of correct device authorization codes by using a special device.

In this embodiment, establishing a connection with a handheld terminal includes: detecting that a terminal is connected, and sending a preset message to the currently connected terminal; receiving a verification code replied by the currently connected terminal; if the verification code format is correct, judging whether the verification code belongs to a preset supported list or not; if yes, determining the terminal connected currently as a supported terminal, and keeping the current connection; and if the verification code format is incorrect or the reply of the currently connected terminal is not received within the preset time, disconnecting the current connection and continuing to wait for establishing connection with other terminals. A preset supported list is stored in the communication module, and the subsequent operation can be carried out only if the verification code replied by the terminal belongs to the list.

By the judgment of the verification code, whether the current connection is effective or not can be determined, the interference of other equipment is eliminated, and the terminal capable of correctly replying the verification code is the target terminal which can be connected and execute the verification activation process and is authorized by the communication module.

And if the verification fails, for example, the personnel information verification fails or the anti-counterfeiting information verification fails, disconnecting the handheld terminal. Specifically, after the relevant verification result is sent to the handheld terminal, the connection with the handheld terminal is disconnected, so that the handheld terminal can prompt the verification progress and the verification result relevant to the installation and debugging personnel. If the installation and debugging personnel is legal, the situation that the verification is not passed occurs, after all possible reasons are eliminated (such as networking incapability, information input error of login application and the like), activation failure information can be registered, the situation is explained, and the information is reported to a management center or other backgrounds so as to seek remote help of equipment manufacturers. If the product is illegally installed and debugged or the product is not good, the connection is disconnected after the verification fails, the verification is not continued, the intervention of the good product or the illegal person is avoided, and the product installation and debugging quality is ensured.

In the verification process, information, verification progress and verification results related to verification can be stored in real time. The information related to verification refers to information interacted between the communication module and the handheld terminal, such as personnel information, anti-counterfeiting information, equipment information, designated data and the like. If the power failure condition suddenly occurs in the process of verification activation, after power is on, whether activation is successful or not and the related progress can be determined according to the stored information, the related steps do not need to be executed repeatedly, and one-time activation success is guaranteed to the greatest extent. If the network is disconnected in the verification and activation process, the communication module can send the stored information to the handheld terminal after the networking is restored, so that a backup effect is realized.

The condition of an early engineering installation field of the equipment is generally severe, and the condition that the equipment cannot be connected with the Internet can exist, so that the equipment information and the engineering information cannot be transmitted to a management center through a network, and the risk of data errors exists when the information is manually input. In an optional embodiment of the present invention, after determining that the device activation is successful, the method further comprises: sending a starting instruction to a controller of the equipment to start the equipment and debug the equipment through the handheld terminal; the method comprises the steps that in the process of debugging of the handheld terminal, if the handheld terminal detects that a network is abnormal and cannot communicate with a management center, collected designated data are sent to the handheld terminal, so that the handheld terminal stores the designated data, and the handheld terminal automatically sends the stored designated data to the management center when being in a normal network environment.

The verification activation process is an interactive verification process of the handheld terminal, the communication module and the management center, and in the process, the handheld terminal is only connected with and interacts with the communication module in the equipment, so that the equipment cannot be controlled. After the activation is successful, in order to debug, the device needs to be started, so that the handheld terminal can control the device to perform related debugging items.

Under the condition that the communication module of the equipment can be normally networked, after debugging is finished, the communication module automatically uploads designated data to a management center. If the communication module network is abnormal and cannot communicate with the management center, through the steps, when the handheld terminal is in a good network environment, the stored designated data can be forwarded to the management center, the problems that the management center cannot collect information and manual statistical data is low in reliability due to the fact that the engineering site cannot be networked are solved, and smooth and accurate collection of related data is guaranteed through multiple collection modes.

In addition, the embodiment further provides an emergency activation scheme, and specifically, the method further includes: if the network abnormity is detected and the communication with the management center cannot be realized, an emergency activation scheme is started, the emergency password sent by the handheld terminal is received and compared with the locally stored emergency password, if the comparison result is consistent, the verification is passed, and the successful activation of the equipment is determined. Above-mentioned emergent activation scheme under the unable networking's the circumstances, can sacrifice the emergent use of security to a certain extent, can verify the activation after also can accomplishing under the unable networking's the circumstances of assurance. But as long as the condition that networking can be realized is detected, the communication module and the handheld terminal cannot use an emergency activation scheme.

And S303, if the personnel information passes the verification, sending the anti-counterfeiting information of the equipment to the communication module so that the communication module verifies the anti-counterfeiting information. The anti-counterfeiting information of the equipment is acquired by the handheld terminal from a third party, and specifically, the anti-counterfeiting information of the equipment can be issued to the handheld terminal after a management center allocates tasks to personnel.

S304, if the anti-counterfeiting information passes the verification, the equipment is determined to be successfully activated.

In the embodiment, the handheld terminal is connected with the communication module of the equipment, the personnel information is firstly sent to the communication module for verification, the anti-counterfeiting information of the equipment is sent to the communication module for verification after the personnel information is verified to be passed, the equipment is successfully activated after the anti-counterfeiting information is verified to be passed, the verification and activation of the equipment are automatically completed by combining the personnel information and the anti-counterfeiting information, the authorized legal installation and debugging personnel can be ensured to verify and activate the equipment, the verification and activation of the equipment can be avoided by the anti-counterfeiting information of the equipment from being passed, the verification is fast, and the confidentiality and the safety of the verification and activation process are improved.
