Detailed ways

In order to make the purpose, 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 in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments It is a part of embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The present invention manages home gateways in a unified manner, realizes resource sharing between home gateways by adopting a method of network authentication users (such as a way of network friends), satisfies the service experience of more users, and also promotes the sharing of services of home gateways promote.

In this embodiment, the functions of user authentication and shared data management are added to the remote management platform of the home gateway, so that the home gateway user can obtain the shared data of other home gateways by viewing the list of authenticated users. In this way, users on the external network only need to perform authentication once. After passing the authentication, they can easily view the shared data without querying the IP address, user name and password of the home gateway, so that the data sharing of the home gateway can be more efficient. Good results.

First, the user inserts USB and other peripherals into the USB port of the home gateway. After the home gateway recognizes the USB peripherals, a shared folder is generated, and the user can put the data to be shared into the shared folder for sharing.

The remote management platform adds the authentication user and shared data management functions of the home gateway. The remote management platform is connected with the Dynamic Domain Name Server (DDNS) system to store the user name and address information of each home gateway at any time. Such as IP address; record the list of authenticated users of each home gateway and the address of each home gateway to share data.

In order to realize the authentication of external network users, the user needs to send the authentication password set by himself to the remote management platform in advance through the home gateway, and the remote management platform records the authentication password. The authentication password authenticates the user.

After the home gateway and the remote management platform have been pre-set above, as shown in Figure 1, the method for home gateway data sharing in this embodiment includes:

Step 11, the remote management platform records the user name, address information, shared data information, authentication user information and authentication password of each home gateway.

Among them, the user name of the home gateway can be set by the user; the address information of the home gateway can be an IP address; the shared data information is the information of the data shared by the home gateway, such as the name, size and storage address of the shared data and other information. The information of the authenticated user is the information of all users who have authenticated the family and passed the authentication, which is embodied in the list of authenticated users, and the authentication password is the password used by the home gateway to authenticate the user. For example, in the mode of authenticating that the user is a friend, the information of the authenticating user may be information of all friends, and the authentication password may be the confirmation password of the friend.

For example, after user A inserts the USB peripheral device into the USB port of the home gateway, the home gateway recognizes the USB peripheral device and automatically generates a shared folder. The gateway shared storage service interface sets the user name and authentication password, and the home gateway sends its own user name, IP address information, shared folder information, and authentication password to the remote management platform. If user A has the user name and authentication password, Or if the shared data is updated, the home gateway will send update information to the remote management platform after each update, and notify the remote management platform to update the relevant information of the home gateway.

Step 12, receiving an access request sent by the user to access the shared data of the home gateway.

In this embodiment, when the user wants to access the shared data of a certain home gateway, he needs to first send an access request to the remote management platform, and can only access the shared data of the home gateway after the remote management platform allows it.

Step 13. If it is determined that the user has passed the authentication of the home gateway, allow the user to access the shared data of the home gateway.

In this embodiment, when user B visits user A's home gateway for the first time, user A tells user B the address, user name and authentication password of his own home gateway. Thus, user B can send an authentication request to the remote management platform according to the address of user A's home gateway, and the authentication request includes user A's username and authentication password; after the remote management platform receives user B's authentication request , obtain the username and authentication password in the authentication request, if the username and authentication password match the pre-stored username and authentication password of user A’s home gateway, the authentication of user B will be passed, and the password of user B will be refreshed. The authentication user list of the home gateway. The refreshed authentication user list includes user A. Later, when user B sends an access request to the remote management platform to access user A’s home gateway, the remote management platform can learn from user B’s authentication user list. If user A is found in the authorized user list, it is known that user A has authenticated user B and passed, and user B is allowed to access user A's home gateway.

In this embodiment, an access password may be further set in the home gateway. The access password is different from the authentication password, and the authentication password must be set to authenticate the accessing user. The access password is used to limit the user's access authority. In the home gateway, the shared data name and the access password can be set for the shared data, or not; Set by the user himself.

When the access password is set in the home gateway, the remote management platform receives the access request sent by the user to visit the home gateway, and the access request includes the access password of the home gateway; if the access password is the same as the pre-stored If the access password of the home gateway matches, the user is allowed to access the shared data of the home gateway.

For example, after user B enters his gateway shared storage service interface, he refreshes and checks his authentication user list, which includes information of all users who have authenticated user B and passed the authentication. If user A has passed the authentication of user B, user A is included in user B's authentication user list, user B can log in to the shared folder of user A's home gateway, and enter user A's access password to request access Shared data, such as viewing and playing shared multimedia files.

In this embodiment, the home gateway can add and manage authenticated users in the following ways:

(1) The user of each home gateway first sets a user name and authentication password, and uploads them to the remote management platform.

Take user B's access to user A's home gateway as an example for illustration, the method is as follows:

(2) User B chooses to add user A's home gateway in the gateway shared storage service interface, and sends an authentication request, which includes user A's username and authentication password.

(3) The remote management platform obtains the authentication request sent by user B, obtains the user name and authentication password of user A, and then obtains the user name and authentication password of user A stored locally. If the two match, update the user B's authentication user list, add user A to user B's authentication user list, and allow user B to access user A's shared data.

Optionally, after the remote management platform determines that user B has passed the authentication for the first time, it may further send authentication pass information to user A's home gateway to ask whether user A has passed the authentication of user B. User A can conduct another audit, and if allowed, send a message to the remote management platform confirming that user B has passed the authentication, and the remote management platform refreshes user B's authentication user list after receiving the confirmation message. If it is not allowed, then user A sends the information that does not allow joining to the remote management platform, and the remote management platform will refuse user B to add user A as an authentication user after receiving the information.

The home gateway needs to be configured as follows:

(1) Shared storage and access mechanism of the home gateway USB peripherals. When the USB peripherals are plugged into the gateway’s USB port, the peripherals should be identified and a dedicated shared folder should be generated.

(2) Add a shared storage service interface to complete the addition of home gateways and query the shared information of home gateways.

(3) After reacquiring the address every time and when the shared data is updated, update information will be automatically sent to the remote management module to update information such as the address and directory of the shared file.

In this embodiment, home gateways are managed in a unified manner, and resource sharing between home gateways is realized by adding network authentication users, which satisfies the service experience of more users and promotes the promotion of home gateway shared services.

The home gateway 22 is used to send its own user name, address information, shared data information and authentication password to the remote management platform 21 .

The home gateway 22 is configured to generate a shared folder to store shared data when the external storage is recognized.

The remote management platform 21 is docked with the DDNS system, and stores the user name and address information of each home gateway 22, records the authentication user list of each home gateway 22, and the authentication password and the address of the shared data of each home gateway 22 .

When the user accesses the shared data for the first time, the remote management platform 21 receives the user's authentication request, and obtains the user name and authentication password in the authentication request; If the username and authentication password match, the authentication of the user is passed, and the authentication user list of the user is refreshed. According to the list of authenticated users, it can be judged whether the user has passed the authentication, and the remote management platform 21 is used to judge whether the home gateway is included in the list of authenticated users of the user; The user has passed the authentication of the home gateway.

In this embodiment, the user can also set an access password to limit the user's access to the shared data. At this time, the remote management platform 21 is also used to receive the access request sent by the user to access the home gateway 22. The access request includes The access password of the home gateway 22; if the access password matches the pre-stored access password of the home gateway 22, the user is allowed to access the shared data of the home gateway 22.

When the user is authenticated, the home gateway 22 can also confirm whether to add the authenticated user, and the remote management platform 21 is also used to send authentication passing information to the home gateway 22 when the user passes the authentication , to ask whether the home gateway 22 has passed the authentication of the user; after receiving the information sent by the home gateway 22 confirming that the user has passed the authentication, refresh the user's authentication user list . For example, when user B accesses user A's home gateway, the remote management platform passes the authentication of user B, and then sends authentication passing information to user A's home gateway to ask whether user A has passed the authentication of user B; After receiving the information confirming that the user B has passed the authentication sent by the home gateway of the user A, the authentication user list of the user B is refreshed.

When the user updates the shared data in the home gateway 22, the update information will be sent to the remote management platform 21, and the remote management platform 21 receives the update information sent by the home gateway; Shared data information of the gateway 22.

In this embodiment, home gateways are managed in a unified manner, and resource sharing between home gateways is realized by adding network authentication users, which satisfies the service experience of more users and promotes the promotion of home gateway shared services.
