Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for accessing a smart camera. The method includes detecting access media for accessing the smart camera. The method also includes generating an access request corresponding to the access media when detecting that the access media is a local area network. The access request carries an access password. The method further includes sending the access request to the smart camera, such that the smart camera allows access after successfully verifying the access password in the access request.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for accessing a smart camera, comprising:
detecting access media for accessing the smart camera; generating an access request corresponding to the access media when detecting that the access media is a local area network, wherein the access request carries an access password; and sending the access request to the smart camera, such that the smart camera allows access after successfully verifying the access password in the access request.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein generating an access request corresponding to the access media comprises:
acquiring the access password; and adding the access password into the access request.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the access password is an access password input by a user, and acquiring the access password comprises:
displaying an access password input interface; and receiving the access password input by the user through the access password input interface.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:
configuring an appointed password with the smart camera before accessing the smart camera; and sending the appointed password to the smart camera, such that the smart camera stores the appointed password, and allows the access after determining that the appointed password is the same as the access password input by the user and included in the access request.

5 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the access password is a token issued by a server, and acquiring the access password comprises:
acquiring the token issued by the server; and determining the token as the access password.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
receiving the token and a validity period of the token issued by the server, wherein
the token is randomly generated by the server after the server receives a password acquiring request sent by the smart camera, and is sent by the server to each of a terminal and the smart camera simultaneously, or
the token is periodically generated by the server, and is sent by the server to each of the terminal and the smart camera simultaneously.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein determining the token as the access password comprises:
determining whether the validity period of the token has lapsed; and determining the token as the access password if the validity period of the token has not lapsed.

8 . A method for accessing a smart camera, comprising:
receiving an access request sent by a terminal through a local area network, wherein the access request carries an access password; verifying the access password; and allowing access by the terminal if the access password is successfully verified.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein verifying the access password comprises:
determining whether the access password is the same as an appointed password stored locally; and determining that the access password is successfully verified if the access password is the same as the appointed password.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , further comprising:
receiving the appointed password sent by the terminal, wherein the appointed password is a password appointed by the terminal and the smart camera.

11 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein verifying the access password comprises:
determining whether the access password is the same as a token stored locally, wherein the token is a password issued by a server; and determining that the access password is successfully verified if the access password is the same as the token.

12 . The method according to claim 11 , further comprising:
sending a password acquiring request to the server, such that the server randomly generates the token according to the password acquiring request and sends the token to each of the terminal and the smart camera simultaneously; and receiving the token and a validity period of the token issued by the server.

13 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein determining that the access password is successfully verified if the access password is the same as the token comprises:
determining whether the validity period of the token has lapsed if the access password is the same as the token; and determining that the access password is successfully verified if the validity period of the token has not lapsed.

14 . A device for accessing a smart camera, comprising:
a processor; and a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor; wherein the processor is configured to:
detect access media for accessing the smart camera;
generate an access request corresponding to the access media when detecting that the access media is a local area network, wherein the access request carries an access password; and
send the access request to the smart camera, such that the smart camera allows access after successfully verifying the access password in the access request.

15 . The device according to claim 14 , wherein the processor is configured to:
acquire the access password; and add the access password into the access request.

16 . The device according to claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to:
display an access password input interface; and receive the access password input by the user through the access password input interface.

17 . The device according to claim 16 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
configure an appointed password with the smart camera before accessing the smart camera; and send the appointed password to the smart camera, such that the smart camera stores the appointed password, and allows the access after determining that the appointed password is the same as the access password input by the user and included in the access request.

18 . The device according to claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to:
acquire the token issued by the server; and determine the token as the access password.

19 . The device according to claim 18 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
receive the token and a validity period of the token issued by the server, wherein
the token is randomly generated by the server after the server receives a password acquiring request sent by the smart camera, and wherein the token is sent by the server to each of a terminal and the smart camera simultaneously; or
the token is periodically generated by the server, and is sent by the server to each of the terminal and the smart camera simultaneously.

20 . The device according to claim 19 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine whether the validity period of the token has lapsed; and determine the token as the access password if the validity period of the token has not lapsed.
