Description

This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2018/10085739.5, titled "Device Networking Activation Method, Apparatus, and Cloud Network Device," filed on 29 January 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. This invention relates to the field of the Internet of Things, and more particularly to a device network connection activation method, apparatus, and cloud network device. With the rapid development of internet technology, Internet of Things (IoT) technology is becoming widely used in people's work and daily lives. For example, people now use their mobile phones to remotely control rice cookers and complete the food cooking process. In order for a user terminal to remotely control an IoT device, the IoT device must be connected to the network and activated , and the legitimacy and access rights of the user terminal must be determined. In existing technologies, the network connectivity process and activation process for network-connected devices (i.e., the aforementioned Internet of Things devices) are not separated. That is, the network connectivity process and activation process are integrated, and consequently, the security and convenience of the activation process are not improved. Much of this work is aimed at personal improvements and specific adjustments to the network connectivity process. Furthermore, the user needs to trigger a network connectivity command from the network-connected device through the user terminal, enabling the network-connected device to enter the network connectivity process, and then determine the relationship between the network-connected device and the user terminal. The above solution, which integrates the network connection process and activation process, has the following problems: (1) The same network connection command is used for different network-connected devices, resulting in low security for network-connected devices. (2) The activation process is performed first, followed by the network connection process, which increases the complexity of the network connection process and reduces the success rate of network connection for network-connected devices. (3) Because there is no time window for network connection commands, the network connection security of network-connected devices may be reduced. Given the problem described above—that the security and reliability of network-connected device activation are low due to the fact that network connectivity and activation of network-connected devices are not separated in existing technologies—no effective solution has yet been proposed. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide a device network connection activation method, apparatus, and cloud network device that at least solve the technical problem of low security and reliability of activation of network-connected devices due to the reality that network connectivity and activation of network-connected devices are not separated in existing technologies. According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a device network connection activation method is provided, the method comprising: connecting a network connection device to a network; pushing an activation strategy for activating the network connection device to the successfully networked network connection device when the network connection device has been successfully networked; and activating the successfully networked network connection device in accordance with the pushed activation strategy. According to another aspect of exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a device network connection activation method is provided, the method comprising: connecting a network connection device to a network; receiving an activation strategy for activating the network connection device when the network connection device has been successfully connected to a network; and activating the network connection device in accordance with the received activation strategy. According to another aspect of exemplary embodiments of the present invention, an apparatus for device network connection activation is provided, the apparatus comprising: a first network connection module used to connect a network connection device to a network; a push module used to push an activation strategy for activating the network connection device to the successfully networked network connection device when the network connection device is successfully networked; and a first activation module used to activate the successfully networked network connection device according to the pushed activation strategy. According to another aspect of exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a cloud network device is provided, which comprises the device for activating the device network connection described above. According to another aspect of exemplary embodiments of the present invention, an apparatus for device network connection activation is provided, the apparatus comprising: a second net
