Abstract: Device discovery methods, a first device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided. The method is performed by the first device and includes: interacting with a second device by means of n management frames, at least one of the n management frames including a customized field, and n being a positive integer; and acquiring device information of the second device based on a customized field in a first management frame. The first management frame is a management frame transmitted by the second device to the first device among the at least one of the n management frames.

Abstract: A device network configuration method and a first device are provided. The method is performed by the first device. The first device interacts with a second device through n management frames, at least one of the n management frames includes a vendor specific field, and the n is a positive integer. The method includes: broadcasting a first management frame without disconnecting a current communication connection, a vendor specific field of the first management frame carrying networking information of a first network, the networking information of the first network being configured to configure the second device to access the first network.

Abstract: An account binding method, a control device, and a smart device are provided. The method includes the following. A request message is received from a control device, where the request message is for requesting a first string. The first string is generated according to a preset rule, where the first string and a master account logged in the control device have a mapping relationship. The first string is sent to the control device, where the first string is transferred by the control device to a smart device in a preset manner, and the first string is for the server to verify, according to the mapping relationship, validity of establishing a binding relationship between the smart device and the master account.
