Abstract

The present invention relates to the computer field, and specifically, to a method and an apparatus for managing a body device. The method includes: obtaining, by a mobile personal station, an identifier of a body device; obtaining, by the mobile personal station according to the identifier of the body device, a communication mode supported by the body device; obtaining, by the mobile personal station, a body parameter and a location parameter that are of a user that carries the body device; and setting, by the mobile personal station, the body device according to the body parameter, the location parameter, and the communication mode supported by the body device. In this way, the body device can be set quickly, which facilitates management of the body device and improves user experience.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for managing a body device, wherein the method comprises:
obtaining, by a mobile personal station, an identifier of a body device; obtaining, by the mobile personal station according to the identifier of the body device, a communication mode supported by the body device; obtaining, by the mobile personal station, a body parameter and a location parameter that are of a user that carries the body device; and setting, by the mobile personal station, the body device according to the body parameter, the location parameter, and the communication mode supported by the body device.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , before the setting, by the mobile personal station, the body device according to the body parameter, the location parameter, and the communication mode supported by the body device, further comprising:
determining, by the mobile personal station, a communication priority of the body device according to the communication mode supported by the body device; obtaining, by the mobile personal station, an ambient parameter of the user that carries the body device; and the setting, by the mobile personal station, the body device according to the body parameter, the location parameter, and the communication mode supported by the body device specifically comprises: setting, by the mobile personal station, the body device according to the body parameter, the location parameter, the ambient parameter, and the communication priority.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , after the setting, by the mobile personal station, the body device according to the body parameter, the location parameter, and the communication mode supported by the body device, further comprising:
obtaining, by the mobile personal station, data sent by the body device; identifying, by the mobile personal station, an event type of the data; performing, by the mobile personal station, matching between the event type of the data and a preset event; and processing, by the mobile personal station, the data and sending an alert in a preset manner according to a processing result when the event type of the data successfully matches a preset event.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the method further comprises:
obtaining, by the mobile personal station, a data reporting solution, wherein the data reporting solution is used to indicate whether to report after-preprocessing data or report before-preprocessing data to an information center when the event type of the data does not match a preset event; and sending, by the mobile personal station, the before-preprocessing data to the information center when the data reporting solution indicates reporting the before-preprocessing data to the information center, so that the information center processes the reported before-preprocessing data; or when the data reporting solution indicates reporting the after-preprocessing data to the information center, preprocessing, by the mobile personal station, the data and sending the after-preprocessing data to the information center, so that the information center processes the reported after-preprocessing data further.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , after the obtaining a data reporting solution, further comprising:
obtaining, by the mobile personal station, a network status of a network on which the mobile personal station is located; and the sending, by the mobile personal station, the before-preprocessing data to the information center when the data reporting solution indicates reporting the before-preprocessing data to the information center, so that the information center processes the reported before-processing data specifically comprises: sending, by the mobile personal station, the before-preprocessing data to the information center when the data reporting solution indicates reporting the before-preprocessing data to the information center and when the status of the network meets a preset network status requirement, so that the information center processes the data.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , after the setting, by the mobile personal station, the body device according to the body parameter, the location parameter, and the communication mode supported by the body device, further comprising:
obtaining, by the mobile personal station, a network topology of the network on which the mobile personal station is located; and optimizing the network on which the mobile personal station is located, according to communication modes supported by body devices on the network on which the mobile personal station is located, a preset optimization algorithm, and the network topology.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , after the setting, by the mobile personal station, the body device according to the body parameter, the location parameter, and the communication mode supported by the body device, further comprising:
detecting, by the mobile personal station, whether there is another mobile personal station within a preset range; and establishing a connection to the another mobile personal station, and sending data received by the mobile personal station to the another mobile personal station when another mobile personal station is detected, so that the another mobile personal station manages, when the mobile personal station runs out of power, the body device according to the data sent by the mobile personal station.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , after the setting, by the mobile personal station, the body device according to the body parameter, the location parameter, and the communication mode supported by the body device, further comprising:
determining, by the mobile personal station according to the body parameter, a unique recognizable characteristic of the user that carries the mobile personal station; establishing, by the mobile personal station, a security authentication manner with a gateway according to the unique recognizable characteristic of the user; collecting, by the mobile personal station, a physiological characteristic of the user within a preset time by using the body device, and obtaining a collection result; and interacting, by the mobile personal station, with the gateway according to the collection result and the security authentication manner, for identity authentication on the user.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , after the setting, by the mobile personal station, the body device according to the body parameter, the location parameter, and the communication mode supported by the body device, further comprising:
detecting, by the mobile personal station, strength of a radio signal of the body device; determining, by the mobile personal station, a distance between the body device and the mobile personal station according to the strength of the radio signal of the body device; and sending, by the mobile personal station, in a preset manner, an alert to the user that carries the mobile personal station when the distance is greater than a preset value.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , before the obtaining, by a mobile personal station, an identifier of a body device, further comprising:
receiving, by the mobile personal station, a connection request sent by the body device, wherein the connection request comprises the identifier of the body device; detecting, by the mobile personal station, whether the identifier of the body device has already been stored; and establishing, by the mobile personal station, a connection to the body device when the identifier of the body device has already been stored; and the obtaining, by a mobile personal station, an identifier of a body device specifically comprises: obtaining, by the mob
