上述各录像装置，如DVR、NVR或其它影像服务器，于一较佳实施例中，可利用HTTP/HTTPS通讯协议向信息服务器31回报相关信息，再通过网络或其它联机供应使用者监控。于较佳实施例中，使用者可通过安全联机存取信息服务器31，再利用各录像装置进行其它终端设备的监看，或除了监看影像，亦可进行其它录像设定，如背光补强、画面更新速度和其它设定，甚至如PTZ摄影机，可以控制左右、上下或远近变焦的控制。Each of the above video recording devices, such as DVR, NVR or other image servers, in a preferred embodiment, can use the HTTP/HTTPS communication protocol to report relevant information to the information server 31, and then provide user monitoring through the network or other connections. In a preferred embodiment, the user can access the information server 31 through a secure connection, and then use each video recording device to monitor other terminal equipment, or in addition to monitoring images, other video settings can also be performed, such as backlight enhancement , screen update speed and other settings, even for PTZ cameras, you can control left and right, up and down or far and near zoom control.
在此实施例中，网络30为一广义定义的网络，包括以各式缆线连接而成的线路，如数字录像装置(DVR)需有各自拥有的缆线，而网络录像装置(NVR)则在网络在线架设多台摄影机(依据画面更新速度和可用宽带决定)。另外，若已有一般的模拟式摄影机，亦可以通过有线或无线网络，搭配影像服务器(video server)使用，取代此数字录像装置(DVR)进行影像数字化。In this embodiment, the network 30 is a broadly defined network, including lines connected by various cables. For example, a digital video recorder (DVR) needs its own cable, while a network video recorder (NVR) has its own cable. Set up multiple cameras online on the network (determined according to the screen update speed and available broadband). In addition, if there is a general analog camera, it can also be used with a video server (video server) through a wired or wireless network to replace the digital video device (DVR) for image digitization.
本发明主要通过网络达成的终端设备的信息服务系统，特别是使用者可使用各种可联机网络的个人化装置来联机信息服务器，如利用电脑、个人数字助理(PDA)或具有网络联机功能的移动电话存取本发明所提供的信息服务器，以有线或无线手段监控各终端设备，故各终端设备亦须直接或间接方式联机至网络，再连结至信息服务器。本发明可应用于具有联机网络功能与没有联机网络功能的终端设备。若是具有联机网络功能，信息服务器则可直接连结该终端设备；若是终端设备没有联机网络功能，则需要另一网络设备耦接该终端设备，通过此网络设备连结至信息服务器。借此，使用者可借由信息服务器撷取各处于远程的终端设备的信息、事件与其运作状态等。The present invention mainly achieves the information service system of the terminal equipment through the network, especially the user can use various personal devices that can be connected to the network to connect to the information server, such as using a computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA) or a device with a network connection function. The mobile phone accesses the information server provided by the present invention, and monitors each terminal device by wired or wireless means, so each terminal device must also be connected to the network directly or indirectly, and then connected to the information server. The present invention is applicable to terminal devices with and without online network functions. If it has the function of connecting to the network, the information server can directly connect to the terminal device; if the terminal device does not have the function of connecting to the network, another network device is needed to couple the terminal device, and connect to the information server through this network device. In this way, the user can retrieve the information, events and operating status of each remote terminal device through the information server.
并且，上述的信息服务器可通过连结其它的信息服务器扩张此信息服务系统。Moreover, the above-mentioned information server can expand the information service system by connecting other information servers.
图4则显示本发明实施例的一的信息服务器与其连接外围的关系示意图。如上所述，本发明所揭露的终端设备的信息服务系统由一或多个使用者端(43，47)、一或多个信息服务器(41)、一或多个设备端(45，49)所组成，图4所示的实施例以因特网40的联机为例，各端皆有网络的联机能力，如信息服务器41通过TCP/IP等网络通讯协议联机至因特网40；使用者47利用电脑43联机至因特网40，并能借一安全联机存取该信息服务器41内的数据；各种并无网络联机功能的终端设备，如图式中的摄影机401、进出入管制403、收款机405等，通过一具有网络联机功能的网络设备45联机至因特网40，并与信息服务器41达成联机，借以提供各终端设备的信息；具有网络联机的终端设备，如图中的网络摄影机49，则能直接联机因特网40，再与信息服务器41达成联机。FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the information server and its connected peripherals according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As mentioned above, the information service system of terminal equipment disclosed in the present invention consists of one or more user terminals (43, 47), one or more information servers (41), one or more equipment terminals (45, 49) Formed, the embodiment shown in Fig. 4 takes the connection of Internet 40 as an example, each end all has the connection capability of network, as information server 41 is connected to Internet 40 by network communication protocols such as TCP/IP; User 47 utilizes computer 43 Connect to the Internet 40, and can access the data in the information server 41 through a secure connection; various terminal devices without network connection functions, such as the camera 401, access control 403, cash register 405, etc. in the figure , connect to the Internet 40 through a network device 45 with a network connection function, and reach an online connection with the information server 41, so as to provide information on each terminal device; a terminal device with a network connection, such as a network camera 49 among the figures, can directly Connect to the Internet 40, and then reach an online connection with the information server 41.
于图4所示的实施例中，各连接网络的设备或服务器皆须有各自唯一的识别方法，其中较佳实施例可使用网络上唯一的媒体存取控制地址(MAC address)做为网络上的识别数据，或是各设备网络地址(IPaddress)，借以识别网络上的各设备，因为网络地址可能经过NAT(Network address translation)、VPN转换而改变，故此较佳实施例以MAC地址为主。如信息服务器41有自己唯一识别的MAC地址、电脑43亦有唯一识别的MAC地址、网络设备45亦有唯一的MAC地址、而网络摄影机49有自己唯一的MAC地址，故各设备能通过此地址进行无误的信息传递。In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, each device or server connected to the network must have its own unique identification method, and a preferred embodiment can use the unique media access control address (MAC address) on the network as the address on the network. The identification data, or the network address (IP address) of each device, in order to identify each device on the network, because the network address may change through NAT (Network address translation) and VPN conversion, so the preferred embodiment is based on the MAC address. For example, the information server 41 has its own uniquely identified MAC address, the computer 43 also has its own uniquely identified MAC address, the network device 45 also has its own unique MAC address, and the network camera 49 has its own unique MAC address, so each device can pass through this address. Make unerring messaging.
信息服务器41通过驱动程序撷取各终端设备的信息的方法，除了一些已经由网络规范的各种标准信息之外，有下列两种驱动模式：The method for the information server 41 to retrieve the information of each terminal device through the driver program has the following two driving modes except for some various standard information that has been regulated by the network:
(1)在信息服务器41中安装各终端设备的相关驱动模块(或程序)其能够提供更细节与有用的信息，举例来说，设备厂商提供规格，信息服务器载有该设备的驱动模块(或程序)；(1) Install the relevant driver modules (or programs) of each terminal device in the information server 41, which can provide more detailed and useful information. For example, the equipment manufacturer provides specifications, and the information server is loaded with the driver modules (or programs) of the equipment program);
(2)在各终端设备中加入此信息服务器41所需要信息的驱动程序或相关模块，由各终端设备主动产生此信息服务器41所需的信息，以期能够产生更多有用得信息，举例来说，信息服务器41提供控制接口规格给设备厂商，使设备中亦载有符合该控制接口规格的的驱动模块(或程序)。(2) Add the driver or related module of information required by the information server 41 in each terminal equipment, and generate the information required by the information server 41 actively by each terminal equipment, in order to be able to produce more useful information, for example , the information server 41 provides the control interface specification to the device manufacturer, so that the device also carries a driver module (or program) that meets the control interface specification.
上述各种没有网络联机功能的摄影机401、进出入管制403、收款机405等设备可能没有唯一的MAC地址，但仍可通过一具有网络联机功能的网络设备45联机至因特网40，而此网络设备45可通过其它识别方法辨识所连接终端设备，如利用各专有驱动程序来辨识或是硬件识别码等。若网络设备45需各终端设备进一步的信息，亦可设置有各设备的驱动程序或相关模块，信息服务器41能通过此网络设备45撷取更多有用的信息。The camera 401, access control 403, cash register 405 and other devices without network connection function mentioned above may not have a unique MAC address, but they can still be connected to the Internet 40 through a network device 45 with network connection function, and this network The device 45 can identify the connected terminal equipment through other identification methods, such as using various proprietary drivers to identify or hardware identification codes. If the network device 45 needs further information on each terminal device, it can also be provided with a driver or a related module for each device, and the information server 41 can retrieve more useful information through the network device 45 .
针对已具有网络联机的网络摄影机49(并不在此限)，信息服务器41能直接通过网络撷取此网络摄影机49中更多有用的信息，或进行该设备的控制与设定。For the network camera 49 (not limited to) that already has a network connection, the information server 41 can directly retrieve more useful information from the network camera 49 through the network, or perform control and setting of the device.
此终端设备的信息服务系统中除了标准可传递的网络封包外，更能通过额外安装的专有的驱动程序产生更多的信息，更甚者，当使用者47通过电脑43、因特网40登入信息服务器41时，能通过其中控制接口控制各终端设备的行为，如控制摄影机的拍摄、进行各设备的电源控制、远程修复等。在较佳实施例中，信息服务器41可提供各种图形接口产生报表、分析、控制接口，以达成更容易与方便的监控环境。In addition to the standard transferable network packets, the information service system of this terminal device can generate more information through additionally installed proprietary drivers. What's more, when the user 47 logs in the information through the computer 43 and the Internet 40 The server 41 can control the behavior of each terminal device through the control interface, such as controlling the shooting of the camera, controlling the power supply of each device, and remote repairing. In a preferred embodiment, the information server 41 can provide various graphical interfaces to generate reports, analysis, and control interfaces to achieve an easier and more convenient monitoring environment.
本发明所提供的信息服务器为一收集各终端设备信息的服务器，经其中各信号的分析后，可提供使用者一个图形或文字的监测环境，如利用图式接口显示各类分析数据，包括各终端设备的运作状态、监测影像画面，更能执行远程储存各终端设备所记录的内容。The information server provided by the present invention is a server that collects the information of each terminal equipment. After analyzing each signal, it can provide the user with a graphic or text monitoring environment, such as using a graphical interface to display various analysis data, including various The operating status of the terminal equipment, monitor the image screen, and perform remote storage of the recorded content of each terminal equipment.
本发明更于此信息服务器内所撷取的信息分类，亦可将各终端设备所撷取的内容也加以分类，再定时传送至信息服务器。各信息的分类依其重要性可分为多种，较佳实施例依据信息封包内的信息(如依据其中事件代码的值)来区分各信息封包为：The present invention further classifies the information captured in the information server, and can also classify the content captured by each terminal device, and then transmits it to the information server at regular intervals. The classification of each information can be divided into many kinds according to its importance, and the preferred embodiment distinguishes each information packet according to the information in the information packet (such as according to the value of the event code therein):
(1)实时(real-time)信息；(1) real-time information;
(2)近实时(nearly real-time)信息；(2) near real-time (nearly real-time) information;
(3)紧急(critical)信息；与(3) Emergency (critical) information; and
(4)一般纪录(log)等。(4) General records (log), etc.
且在信息服务器与各终端设备都可规划此多种分类，最后依据各信息的优先级排序，再循序传递。各信息封包依据上述事件代码所传达的信息区分为实时、近实时、紧急或一般纪录。而较佳实施例如下：In addition, the various classifications can be planned on the information server and each terminal device, and finally sorted according to the priority of each information, and then delivered sequentially. Each information packet is divided into real-time, near-real-time, urgent or general records according to the information conveyed by the above-mentioned event codes. And the preferred embodiment is as follows:
(1)若其中信息归类为实时信息，当状态改变、事件发生，终端设备立即传送信息，并要求只要撷取到信息即传送至信息服务器，或是实时显示给使用者看；(1) If the information is classified as real-time information, when the status changes or an event occurs, the terminal device immediately transmits the information, and requests that as long as the information is retrieved, it will be transmitted to the information server, or displayed to the user in real time;
(2)若其中信息归类为近实时信息，当状态改变、事件发生，将暂存信息，周期性地传送信息至信息服务器，即定时地由终端设备传送至信息服务器，或是定时显示给使用者看；(2) If the information is classified as near-real-time information, when the state changes or an event occurs, the information will be temporarily stored and periodically sent to the information server, that is, it will be sent to the information server by the terminal device regularly, or displayed to the information server regularly. users see;
(3)若其中信息归类为紧急信息，即发生重要或错误(error)等信息，立即提升优先级，传送信息，比如系统错误信息、运作状态错误或是运作环境出现异常等可能损及设备的信息，则除了实时传递此类信息外，可配合系统上的警告画面、灯号、声音传递此类信息；(3) If the information is classified as emergency information, that is, if important or error information occurs, immediately increase the priority and transmit information, such as system error information, operating status error, or abnormal operating environment, which may damage the equipment In addition to transmitting such information in real time, it can cooperate with the warning screen, light signal and sound on the system to transmit such information;
(4)若其中信息归类为一般纪录，则由信息服务器中的数据库记载此类信息即可，以供以后查询。(4) If the information is classified as a general record, then the database in the information server can record such information for future inquiries.
值得一提的是，上述实时信息(1)与紧急信息(3)当指定发生的事件发生的时候，立即将事件信息传给信息服务器，如果当次传送失败，所传送的信息内容自动重送特定几次，若重送仍旧失败的话，则放弃该笔事件信息通知，但在查询设备事件时，仍是可以查到完整的事件信息内容，如成为一般纪录；而上述近实时的信息(2)并非需要实时传送信息，如果当次传送失败，所传送的信息内容自动延迟到下一次传送再传送出去，同一笔信息在重送特定几次后若仍无法成功，则放弃该笔事件信息通知，但在查询设备事件时，仍是可以查到完整的事件信息内容(如记录为一般纪录)。It is worth mentioning that when the specified event occurs, the above real-time information (1) and emergency information (3) will immediately send the event information to the information server. If the current transmission fails, the transmitted information content will be automatically resent For a specific number of times, if the retransmission still fails, the event information notification will be discarded, but the complete event information content can still be found when querying the device event, if it becomes a general record; and the above-mentioned near real-time information (2 ) does not require real-time transmission of information. If the current transmission fails, the content of the transmitted information will be automatically delayed until the next transmission. If the same information cannot be successfully resent after a certain number of times, the event information notification will be discarded. , but when querying device events, you can still find the complete event information content (for example, the record is a general record).
如上所述，依重要性分类的信息将由网络上的封包传递，即由各终端设备所传递的封包中记载各信息的内容与其时间戳记(timestamp)，如图5所示的封包格式示意图，其中主要包括有标头500的部分与信息数据511的部份，而标头500中字段至少包括有：As mentioned above, the information classified according to the importance will be transmitted by the packet on the network, that is, the content of each information and its timestamp (timestamp) are recorded in the packet transmitted by each terminal device, as shown in the schematic diagram of the packet format in Figure 5, wherein It mainly includes the part of the header 500 and the part of the information data 511, and the fields in the header 500 include at least:
(1)主机地址501，如在终端设备上所设定信息服务器的地址；(1) host address 501, such as the address of the information server set on the terminal equipment;
(2)终端设备或网络设备的识别码(ID)502，如各终端设备的型号(model number)；(2) Identification code (ID) 502 of terminal equipment or network equipment, such as the model number (model number) of each terminal equipment;
(3)网络地址503，如各终端设备的IP地址；(3) Network address 503, such as the IP address of each terminal device;

(6)MAC地址506，记载终端设备的MAC地址；(6) MAC address 506, which records the MAC address of the terminal device;
(7)时间戳记507，配合时间，纪录在终端设备上所设定信息服务器的管理者账号经过杂凑运算的结果；(7) Time stamp 507, in conjunction with the time, records the result of the hash operation of the manager account of the information server set on the terminal device;
(8)另外有事件代码508，以多个位的组合指示此封包为何种信息；(8) In addition, there is an event code 508, which indicates what kind of information this packet is with a combination of multiple bits;
(9)其它信息509则记载其它可能的信息，包括此封包的通讯协议种类、解加密方式、埠号(port number)、警报信号、设定信息等。(9) Other information 509 records other possible information, including the type of communication protocol, decryption method, port number, alarm signal, setting information, etc. of the packet.
信息服务器除了撷取各终端设备的信息外，更能将各信息进行分类或是群组化(grouping)，以不同的方式呈现给使用者，如图6显示本发明所提供的图形接口示意图，当使用者通过网络远程联机至信息服务器，或是近端直接使用该服务器时，信息服务器将提供各式图形接口显示各种终端设备的信息，如图6显示为利用录像装置所录制的画面，且一次显示多个经过分类或是群组化的画面(601，602，603，604)，分别显示来自多个录像装置的拍摄内容，且可利用不同的灯号或是显示图形呈现各录像装置的状态，包括监控该录像装置的影像、各群组监控影像、其它使用者对该设备的联机数量、运作状态、联机状况、各设备硬件状态等。In addition to retrieving the information of each terminal device, the information server can classify or group the information and present it to the user in different ways. Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of the graphical interface provided by the present invention. When the user remotely connects to the information server through the network, or uses the server directly at the near end, the information server will provide various graphical interfaces to display the information of various terminal equipment, as shown in Figure 6 as a picture recorded by a video recording device. And a plurality of classified or grouped pictures (601, 602, 603, 604) are displayed at one time, and shooting contents from multiple video recording devices are respectively displayed, and different lights or display graphics can be used to present each video recording device The status of the device, including monitoring the image of the video recording device, the monitoring images of each group, the number of connections of other users to the device, the operating status, the connection status, the hardware status of each device, etc.
借终端设备与信息服务器的单行道式(one-way)的安全联机方式(两端仅认得对方，而不会受其它信息干扰)，产生防止第三者侵入的网络信号传递模式。另外，设备与信息服务器间的认证信息/封包为单向不可反解的加密方法，即使被第三者撷取到封包，亦无法反解得出原来信息，此部分可利用杂凑(hash)算法(如MD5)将数据(如设备识别码、使用者账号、时间戳记等)加入数字演算，产生不可反解的杂凑值，如方程式一：With the one-way secure connection between the terminal device and the information server (the two ends can only recognize each other without being disturbed by other information), a network signal transmission mode that prevents third-party intrusion is generated. In addition, the authentication information/packet between the device and the information server is a one-way non-reversible encryption method. Even if the packet is captured by a third party, the original information cannot be reversed. This part can use the hash (hash) algorithm (such as MD5) adding data (such as device identification code, user account, time stamp, etc.) to digital calculations to generate irreversible hash values, such as equation 1:
杂凑值＝hash(“MAC地址”+“使用者账号”)+时间戳记Hash value = hash("MAC address" + "user account") + timestamp
---------(1)---------(1)
此杂凑值需要大量的时间与计算才能反解，而加密方式亦将定时变换，使数据传输得到最安全的保障。This hash value requires a lot of time and calculations to decipher, and the encryption method will also be changed regularly to ensure the most secure data transmission.
接着，请参阅图7所示本发明终端设备的信息服务系统的架构示意图，此图显示使用者对终端设备执行控制指令时的状态，此信息服务系统至少包括三方面的连结关系，使用者端75使用电脑或是其它个人装置通过网络70连结至服务器端73、设备端71(包括具有连网能力的设备，与通过网络设备连结网络的不具有连网能力的设备)等端点。Next, please refer to the schematic diagram of the structure of the information service system of the terminal equipment of the present invention shown in Figure 7. This figure shows the state when the user executes the control command on the terminal equipment. 75 uses a computer or other personal device to connect to endpoints such as the server end 73 and the device end 71 (including devices with network connection capabilities and devices without network connection capabilities connected to the network through network devices) through the network 70.
图7所示的实施例中，除了开始时各端点利用各种联机方式(如三方交握程序)相互连结的初始化过程外，更需由设备端的终端设备对信息服务器进行认证(如图中设备端71与服务器端73的来往信号705，706)，通过认证程序后，信息服务器则能识别并撷取由该设备端所传递的信息。In the embodiment shown in Figure 7, in addition to the initialization process that each endpoint utilizes various online methods (such as a three-way handshake program) to connect to each other at the beginning, the terminal device at the device side needs to authenticate the information server (such as the device in the figure) The communication signal 705, 706) between the terminal 71 and the server terminal 73, after passing the authentication procedure, the information server can identify and retrieve the information transmitted by the equipment terminal.
之后，可由使用者端75产生对设备端71的控制信号(如第一信号701)将通过服务器端73反馈对应此设备端71相对的控制指令(command，如第二信号702)，此时，使用者端75则能利用此控制指令对设备端71进行控制(如传递第三信号703)，而设备端71即能响应使用者端75(如传递第四信号704)。Afterwards, the control signal (such as the first signal 701) to the equipment terminal 71 can be generated by the user terminal 75, and the corresponding control instruction (command, such as the second signal 702) corresponding to the equipment terminal 71 will be fed back by the server terminal 73. At this time, The user end 75 can use the control command to control the device end 71 (for example, transmit the third signal 703 ), and the device end 71 can respond to the user end 75 (for example, transmit the fourth signal 704 ).
本发明借由服务器端73安装各终端设备的相关驱动程序或模块，或是由设备端71来安装兼容于服务器端73的驱动程序或模块，在此系统初始状态即已达成由服务器端73与设备端71联机的网络架构，因为服务器端73与设备端71已达成相互支持与信息传递的作业，故使用者端75不必直接对设备端71进行连结或是设定，而是通过登入服务器端73，利用其中提供的监控环境对设备端71进行监控。在此例中，使用者端75欲对设备端71执行控制，因为服务器端73通过驱动程序已对设备端71能够执行完整的控制，此控制封包将先经由服务器端73进行转换，产生设备端71可以接受的指令，最后由使用者端75直接利用此指令对设备端71执行控制。值得一提的是，全部过程中，使用者端75不用需要设备端71的任何信息，只要通过服务器端73的接口即可达成任务。The present invention installs the relevant driver program or the module of each terminal equipment by the server end 73, or installs the driver program or the module compatible with the server end 73 by the device end 71; The network structure of the device end 71 connection, because the server end 73 and the device end 71 have achieved mutual support and information transmission, so the user end 75 does not need to directly connect or set the device end 71, but can log in to the server end 73. Use the monitoring environment provided therein to monitor the device end 71. In this example, the user terminal 75 intends to control the device terminal 71, because the server terminal 73 has been able to perform complete control of the device terminal 71 through the driver program, and the control packet will first be converted by the server terminal 73 to generate a device terminal Finally, the user terminal 75 directly uses the command to control the device terminal 71. It is worth mentioning that during the whole process, the user end 75 does not need any information from the device end 71 , and the task can be accomplished only through the interface of the server end 73 .
上述详细流程请参阅图8所示的流程图，开始时，信息服务系统中整合各端联机，接着使用者通过网络浏览器或是支持服务器端的应用软件联机至信息服务器上，利用其中的使用者接口(UI)登入服务器(步骤S801)；Please refer to the flow chart shown in Figure 8 for the above detailed process. At the beginning, the information service system integrates the connection of each end, and then the user connects to the information server through a web browser or an application software that supports the server, and utilizes the user's Interface (UI) login server (step S801);
使用者端可借其中图形或文字接口监控终端设备，并可接着针对特定对象产生控制信号(步骤S803)，如控制录像装置的拍摄角度、远近变焦等的状态，对其产生控制信号；The user terminal can monitor the terminal equipment through the graphical or text interface, and then generate a control signal for a specific object (step S803), such as controlling the shooting angle of the video device, zooming in and out, etc., and generating a control signal for it;
接着，信息服务器接收此控制信号(步骤S805)；Next, the information server receives the control signal (step S805);
并将此控制信号转换为支持设备的控制指令(步骤S807)，此控制指令可通过一般标准对设备的控制指令，亦或通过信息服务器所加载的设备驱动程序或模块，或是信息服务器所设置由设备端所提供的驱动程序或模块所产生的控制指令；And convert this control signal into a control command supporting the device (step S807). Control commands generated by drivers or modules provided by the device;
再将此控制指令通过网络反馈至使用者端(步骤S809)；Feedback the control command to the user terminal through the network (step S809);
接着，使用者端直接将所接收的控制指令传递至设备端(步骤S811)，此步骤并非需要通过信息服务器对终端设备下指令，而由使用者端直接下指令；Next, the user side directly transmits the received control command to the device side (step S811), this step does not need to issue commands to the terminal device through the information server, but the user side directly issues commands;
最后，设备端执行此控制指令(步骤S813)，并将结果反馈至使用者端(步骤S815)。Finally, the device side executes the control command (step S813), and feeds back the result to the user side (step S815).
图9则显示本发明信息服务系统启动后的初始化流程，在此系统启动以前，已设定好网络联机、终端设备的驱动程序、各终端设备的信息都已经记载在信息服务器中。之后，在信息服务器与终端设备开启后(步骤S901)，因网络联机已预备好，该设备端不论是终端设备直接联机或是通过其它网络设备联机，都能即刻产生认证信息(步骤S903)；Fig. 9 then shows the initialization process after the information service system of the present invention is started. Before the system is started, the network connection, the driver program of the terminal equipment, and the information of each terminal equipment have all been recorded in the information server. Afterwards, after the information server and the terminal device are turned on (step S901), because the network connection is ready, the device can immediately generate authentication information whether the terminal device is connected directly or through other network devices (step S903);
接着，信息服务器将收到来自各方、各终端设备的认证请求(步骤S905)，各认证请求信号将承载各种需要认证的信息，如该终端设备或网络设备的识别码(ID)、各设备端的IP地址、终端设备的MAC地址等，借此信息进行认证程序；Next, the information server will receive authentication requests from all parties and terminal devices (step S905), and each authentication request signal will carry various information that needs to be authenticated, such as the identification code (ID) of the terminal device or network device, each The IP address of the device, the MAC address of the terminal device, etc., use this information to carry out the authentication procedure;
之后判断认证是否成功？(步骤S907)Then judge whether the authentication is successful? (step S907)
