Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, the system configuration of the connection management system of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the management system includes: a plurality of connection power sources 100, a server 101, and a smart terminal 102. The server 101 is connected to the splicing power source 100 and the smart terminal 102 through a network, and can perform data communication with the splicing power source 100 and the smart terminal 102, respectively. The smart terminal 102 is provided with an obtaining device 103 for acquiring the user identification. Although a plurality of splicing power sources 100 are shown in Fig. 1, the present invention is not limited thereto, and even if only one splicing power source is used, the splicing management system of the present invention can be used for management.

As an example of the server 101, a computer can usually be employed, and a home PC or a commercial server can be employed depending on system performance requirements. As an example of a network, it can be a wired network (eg Ethernet) or wireless network (eg WLAN).

As an example of the smart terminal 102, a smartphone, a computer, a tablet, or the like can be placed on the docking site. Here, the smart phone refers to a mobile phone having a mobile communication function, capable of connecting to a wireless network and having an internal operating system built therein, and the user or the developer can implement the expansion of the mobile phone function by installing third-party software on the operating system. The current common operating systems include: Windows Phone, Android, and iOS.

As the acquisition means 103 of the smart terminal 102, it can be flexibly set as needed. In the case where the smart terminal 102 is a computer, the obtaining means 103 can be a mouse and a keyboard. In the case where the smart terminal 102 is a mobile phone or tablet, the acquisition device 103 can be a touch screen and a handwriting pen or can be a camera.

In addition, when the user is identified as a one-dimensional or two-dimensional code, the smart terminal 102 can configure a laser bar code module (for example, a scanner) or a camera module as the obtaining means 103 for collecting bar code information. If the user identification is an RFID electronic tag, the smart terminal 102 can configure the RFID sensor module as the acquisition device 103. If the user identification uses an IC card, the smart terminal 102 can configure the IC card reader module as the acquisition means 103. For example, connect the computer to the appropriate module (such as a scanner, camera, card reader, etc.) via the USB interface.

In addition, in addition to smart phones, computers, and tablets, the smart terminal 102 can also customize hardware as needed, such as a hospital-like inquiry machine terminal and a subway recharge terminal.

The hardware structures of the smartphones, computers, tablets, scanners, cameras, RFID sensors, IC card readers, various terminals, etc. mentioned in the above structures are well known and will not be described in detail herein.

In the following embodiments, the smart terminal 102 and the server 101 are both computers. First embodiment

Next, the management flow of the connection management system of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs.

The management method of the present invention can be connected to a power source, a server, and a smart terminal. The CPU implements the program corresponding to the management flow from the memory (for example, hard disk, ROM, FLASH, etc.) into the RAM for execution.

First, describe the terms "disabled" and "activated." In the present invention, the state in which the main control program can be operated by the splicing power supply is referred to as an active state; the state in which the main control program cannot be operated by the splicing power supply is referred to as a disabled state. In the disabled state, the user cannot operate the power supply.

Next, the workflow of the splicing power supply will be described with reference to FIG.

First, in step S200, power is supplied to the power supply, and initialization of various resources is performed. Next, in step S201, the CPU connected to the power supply periodically queries whether there is a main control program running identifier change command in the receiving buffer that communicates with the server, that is, whether the activation command is received. When it is found that there is a main control program operation identifier change instruction (activation instruction) (step S201: YES), the processing proceeds to step S202. Otherwise, the process returns to step S201 to wait for the next query. In step S202, the CPU connected to the power supply changes the main control program operation identifier loaded into the memory to 1, and the processing proceeds to step S203.

In step S203, the CPU connected to the power supply runs the main control program, and notifies the server that the activation is completed.

In the present embodiment, in the splicing power supply, the main control program operation identifier, for example, 1 or 0, is set. In the case where the main control program running identifier is 1, the splicing power supply can run the main control program and is in the active state; and in the case where the main control program running identifier is 0, the splicing power supply cannot run the main control program. , this is disabled. In the disabled state, you can prompt by displaying the information on the display connected to the power supply, such as displaying the disable message "The machine is disabled" or displaying the LOGO screen for power-on or the display unit flashing.

According to the embodiment, in order to realize the dedicated machine, in the initial state of the power supply, the main control program running identifier in the memory is 0, and the power supply is disabled.

Next, referring to FIG. 3, the workflow of the smart terminal and the server will be described.

In step S301, the user identifier is obtained by the obtaining device 103 of the smart terminal 102. For example, the user identifier can be input through the keyboard of the smart terminal 102 (computer), or the user identifier is a one-dimensional or two-dimensional code, and the smart terminal is used. (computer) connected to the scanner code.

Then, the process proceeds to step S302. In step S302, the intelligent terminal sends the obtained user identifier to the server.

Thereafter, in step S303, the server compares the received user identifier with a pre-stored user identifier and a corresponding relationship (hereinafter referred to as a "first correspondence") that the user can use to determine the user. A splicing power supply that can be used. The correspondence can be stored in a database or a custom file.

Specifically, it is determined whether there is a splicing power source corresponding to the received user identifier according to the first correspondence stored in advance. In the case where it is determined that there is a power supply corresponding to the received user identification (step S303: YES), the processing proceeds to step S304.

In the case where it is determined that there is no splicing power supply corresponding to the received user identification (step S303: NO), the processing proceeds to step S305. In step S305, the server notifies the smart terminal of the user authentication failure. In step S306, the smart terminal displays a message that the verification has failed through the display device (CRT display or LED display, etc.). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S301, where it is waited for the user identification to be acquired again.

In step S304, the server transmits an activation command to the splicing power source determined in step S303. Specifically, the server instructs to change the main control program run flag in the determined power supply to 1, and sends the command to the receive buffer of the power supply through the communication port.

In the first embodiment, in the initial state, the power connection is disabled, then the user identifier is obtained through the smart terminal, and the user identifier is sent to the server for verification to determine the power supply that the user can use, and The power is activated by the server.

Therefore, it is only necessary to obtain the identification information of different users through one intelligent terminal, which effectively reduces the cost. And by disabling the splicing power supply first, and then activating the corresponding splicing power supply according to the user identification, the special machine is used exclusively, thereby improving management standardization. Second embodiment

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the second embodiment, on the basis of the first embodiment, the step of scanning the quilting mark is added to verify whether the user can lick Pick up the quilting.

The workflow for splicing the power supply in the second embodiment is the same as that of the splicing power supply in the first embodiment, and thus the description is omitted. The workflow portion of the intelligent terminal and the server is also basically the same as the first embodiment. Therefore, the same steps are given to the same steps, and the corresponding description is omitted. Below, we will focus on the differences between the two.

As shown in Fig. 4, after step S303, the processing proceeds to step S401. In step S401, the server requests the smart terminal to input the quilting identifier. Next, in step S402, the quilting mark is acquired by the acquiring means of the smart terminal.

In step S403, the smart terminal sends the obtained quilting identifier to the server. In step S404, the server compares the received quilting identifier, the user identifier with a pre-stored user identifier and a quilting identifier (hereinafter referred to as a "second correspondence") to determine whether the user can The quilting is spliced.

Specifically, in a case where the received user identifier has a second correspondence with the received quilting identifier, it is determined that the user can splicing the quilting. On the other hand, it is determined that the user does not have the right to pick up the quilting (step S404: NO), and the process proceeds to step S405, and the server notifies the smart terminal that the quilting verification has failed.

Next, in step S406, the smart terminal displays a message that the verification has failed through the display device (CRT display or LED display, etc.). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S402, waiting for the quilting mark to be acquired again.

In the case where it is determined that there is the second correspondence (step S404: YES), the processing proceeds to step S304.

Compared with the first embodiment, the second embodiment realizes the special quilting of the specific quilting by increasing the correspondence between the user and the quilting, thereby ensuring the splicing quality through more standardized management. Third embodiment

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

First, describe the workflow of smart terminals and servers. For the workflow of the smart terminal and the server, the flow of the third embodiment is substantially the same as the flow of the second embodiment. Cause Therefore, the same steps are given to the same steps, and the corresponding description is omitted. Below, we will focus on the differences between the two.

The difference between the two is: In the case where it is determined that there is a second correspondence (step

S404: YES), the processing proceeds to step S407. In step S407, the server according to the pre-stored quilting identifier and the connection specification (usually a set of splicing parameters, for example, including gas, wire diameter, splicing current, splicing voltage, etc.) (hereinafter, referred to as The third correspondence relationship determines (matches) the splicing specification corresponding to the quilting, that is, determines the splicing parameters that should be used when splicing the quilting.

In step S408, the server transmits an activation command (instruction activation) to the splicing power source determined in step S303, and the splicing specification.

Next, the power supply receives the splicing specification and controls so that only the splicing parameters of the splicing specification are available. For the splicing power supply, the third embodiment has the same workflow as the first embodiment in the activation, and will not be repeated here.

According to the third embodiment, on the basis of the specific quilting of the special quilting, the special splicing parameters for splicing the specific quilting are adopted, thereby further ensuring the splicing quality. Fourth embodiment

Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 6.

The fourth embodiment is a modification of the second embodiment, and therefore, the same reference numerals are used for the same steps, and the corresponding description is omitted. Below, we will focus on the differences between the two.

As shown in Fig. 6, steps S301 and S302 are first performed, followed by steps S401-S406. In the case where it is determined that there is the second correspondence (step S404: YES), the processing proceeds to step S303. Then, steps S304-S306 are performed.

Similar to the second embodiment, by the workflow of the fourth embodiment, it is also possible to realize the special splicing of the specific quilting, thereby ensuring the quality of the splicing through more standardized management. Fifth embodiment

Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The fifth embodiment is a further optimization of the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, the server automatically activates all of the splicing power sources determined according to the first correspondence. However, in practice, although one user can use multiple power supplies, only one power supply is generally used in the field operation. Therefore, the fifth embodiment provides a scheme in which the user can select the splicing power source (one or several) to be activated from a plurality of splicing power sources as needed.

In the fifth embodiment, the same steps as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the corresponding description will be omitted. Below, we will focus on the differences between the two.

In the case where it is determined that there is a power supply corresponding to the received user identification (step

S303: YES), the processing proceeds to step S601. In step S601, the server sends the information of the connected power (for example, the power supply identification, model, location, icon, etc.) to the smart terminal.

3⁄4.

Next, in step S602, the smart terminal notifies the user of the received information of the connected power source. For example, a list of the power supply identifications is displayed by the display device.

In step S603, the user selects the power source to be activated through the operating device of the smart terminal. That is, the smart terminal receives the user's selection of the splicing power source to be activated through the operating device. In this embodiment, the operating device is a mouse and a keyboard. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, the operating device may be a touch screen.

It should be noted that in the case where the smart terminal is a computer, the operating device and the acquiring device are both a mouse and a keyboard. However, the two can also be different. For example, for a smartphone, the acquisition device can be a camera for taking a QR code or a barcode, and the operating device is a touch screen or a keyboard or a mouse.

In step S604, the smart terminal transmits the information of the connected power source selected by the user to the server. After that, the server sends an activation command to the user-selected power source.

Next, the splicing power supply that received the activation command is activated. The working process of the power supply is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the description will not be repeated here.

By the solution of the fifth embodiment, the user can select any splicing power source that is desired to be activated from among the plurality of splicing power sources that are allowed to be used, thereby further improving the flexibility of operation and avoiding unnecessary activation. According to the solution of the fifth embodiment, when only one of the splicing power sources that the user can use is used, the information of the splicable power supply that can be activated can also be displayed by the display device of the smart terminal, and the user's selection is received by the operating device.
