Imaging method, imaging device and imaging system for verifying mobile terminal identification and selecting appropriate imaging device

An imaging device, comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and, when executing the instructions, configured to:
• in responding to receiving a terminal identification sent by a mobile terminal and directed to the mobile terminal, send an imaging request message to a cloud server, wherein:
• the imaging request message sent by the imaging device includes the terminal identification and a communication parameter for communicating with the mobile terminal, used for the cloud server to verify identity of the mobile terminal according to the terminal identification and,
• after the identity verification of the mobile terminal, performed by the cloud server, is successfully passed and according to the communication parameter, the cloud server automatically determines one imaging device, among all imaging devices that send imaging request messages, to perform an imaging task, and to send an imaging job to the one imaging device;
• and
• in responding to receiving the imaging job sent by the cloud server, perform the imaging task according to the imaging job.

An imaging method for controlling an external device, comprising:

• receiving, by a cloud server, a request message, wherein the request message includes a device identification of the external device;
• or a terminal identification of a mobile terminal and a communication parameter for communicating with the mobile terminal;
• in responding to receiving, by the cloud server, the device identification of the external device from the mobile terminal, verifying, by the cloud server, the external device corresponding to the device identification according to the received device identification, and using, by the cloud server, authenticated the external device as one imaging device to perform an imaging task;
• in responding to receiving, by the cloud server, the terminal identification of the mobile terminal and the communication parameter for communicating with the mobile terminal from the external device, verifying, by the cloud server, identity of the mobile terminal according to the terminal identification and, after the identity verification is successfully passed and according to the communication parameter, automatically determining, by the cloud server, the one imaging device, among all imaging devices that send request messages, to perform the imaging task;
• and
• sending, by the cloud server, the imaging job to the one imaging device to perform the imaging task, for the one imaging device to perform the imaging task according to the imaging job.
