1. A control method for performing rapid connection and data transmission between devices, comprising:

  • writing, by a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader and writer module, relevant information about a wireless short-range communication module in a slave device into an RFID label, the relevant information comprising address information and slave device type information, or printing, by a bar code printer, the relevant information into a bar code label; and

    fixing the RFID label or the bar code label onto the slave device; and

    reading, by the RFID reader and writer module or a bar code reader in the master device, information from the RFID label or from the bar code label;

    starting a function of the wireless short-range communication module according to the read information;

    automatically matching relevant information, and popping up a corresponding user interface according to the obtained slave device type information to display collected data;

    wherein when the slave device has a wireless short-range communication function, for performing rapid connection and then rapid data transmission by using a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) label, the method comprises;

    Step 1;

    writing, by a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader and writer module, relevant information about a wireless short-range communication module into an RFID label, writing a serial number and type information of the slave device into the RFID label, the relevant information about the wireless short-range communication module comprising a Media Access Control (MAC) address of a Bluetooth or a WIFI wireless network Service Set Identifier (SSID) and a secret key, and fixing the RFID label onto the slave device;

    Step 2;

    when it is necessary to acquire data information about the slave device, reading information from the RFID label by using an RFID function of a terminal device, to acquire information about the wireless short-range communication module and slave device type information;

    judging a used communication mode from the read information;

    when a Bluetooth function is used, automatically starting, by the terminal device, a Bluetooth module, searching for a Bluetooth module with the corresponding name;

    after the Bluetooth module is found, performing Bluetooth pairing by automatically inputting the read secret key information; and

    after pairing is successful, sending a command to establish a connection; and

    when the read information indicates that the slave device is connected through WIFI, automatically connecting the terminal device to an SSID of the corresponding wireless local area network and inputting the read secret key information; and

    after the connection to the SSID of the wireless local area network is successful, automatically connecting client software on the terminal device to the slave device to acquire data from the slave device; and

    Step 3;

    after the connection is established, automatically selecting and entering, by the terminal device, an application interface for the slave device according to the slave device type information acquired from the RFID label;

    when the slave device acquires sensing data, automatically uploading the sensing data to the application interface for the slave device of the terminal device through the wireless short-range communication connection that is already established; and

    if necessary, uploading the sensing data to a remote background server through a wireless local-area or wide-area module of the terminal device.
