Abstract

A device management method and apparatus are described. The method includes the following steps: a terminal detects an access of a device (S 102 ); and the terminal generates a WEB User Interface (WEB UI) corresponding to the device according to a configuration file corresponding to the device (S 104 ). According to the disclosure, the problem of incompatibility of the WEB UI of the terminal with multiple devices is solved, and the WEB UI of the terminal can be adapted to the multiple devices.

Claims (33)

1. A device management method, comprising:

detecting, by a terminal, an access of a device;

acquiring, by the terminal, a type of the device;

judging, by the terminal according to the type of the device, whether a user device management application WEB User Interface (WEB UI) of the terminal supports the device or not;

searching, by the terminal, an existing resource of the terminal for a configuration file corresponding to the device under the condition that the WEB UI of the terminal supports the device;

downloading, by the terminal, a resource supporting the device from the device and searching the downloaded resource for the configuration file corresponding to the device under the condition that the WEB UI of the terminal does not support the device; and

generating, by the terminal, the WEB UI corresponding to the device according to the configuration file corresponding to the device.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the downloading the resource supporting the device from the device comprises:

sending, by the terminal, an acquiring resource request to the device; and

receiving, by the terminal, the resource sent in response to the request by the device, and storing the resource in its Web Server.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

after the terminal generates the user device management application WEB UI corresponding to the device according to the configuration file corresponding to the device,

when a user sets a parameter of the device in the WEB UI of the terminal, sending, by the terminal, a synchronization request to the device to notify the device to set the corresponding parameter.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: after the terminal generates the user device management application WEB UI corresponding to the device according to the configuration file corresponding to the device,

dynamically loading, by the terminal, a required resource on a page and a logic processing part according to an operation of a user and the configuration file, and generating a corresponding page menu.

5. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising: after the terminal generates the user device management application WEB UI corresponding to the device according to the configuration file corresponding to the device,

when a user sets a parameter of the device in the WEB UI of the terminal, sending, by the terminal, a synchronization request to the device to notify the device to set the corresponding parameter.

6. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising: after the terminal generates the user device management application WEB UI corresponding to the device according to the configuration file corresponding to the device,

dynamically loading, by the terminal, a required resource on a page and a logic processing part according to an operation of a user and the configuration file, and generating a corresponding page menu.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration file comprises at least one of menu configuration information and theme configuration information.

8. A device management apparatus, which is implemented in a terminal, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

detect an access of a device;

acquire a type of the device;

judging, according to the type of the device, whether a user device management application WEB User Interface (WEB UI) of the terminal supports the device or not;

search an existing resource of the terminal for a configuration file corresponding to the device under the condition that the WEB UI of the terminal supports the device;

download a resource supporting the device from the device and search the downloaded resource for the configuration file corresponding to the device under the condition that the WEB UI of a terminal does not support the device

generate the WEB UI corresponding to the device according to the configuration file corresponding to the device.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , the processor is further configured to:

send an acquiring resource request to the device, and to store a resource in its Web Server when receiving the resource sent in response to the request by the device.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the configuration file comprises at least one of menu configuration information and theme configuration information.
