Fig. 8 shows the method according to one embodiment of the invention.At 801, IoT devices are positioned/configured On or near equipment to be controlled.As described above, in one embodiment, IoT devices are equipped with two-sided tape, so that user Easily IoT devices can be attached in various types of equipment.Alternatively or additionally, each IoT Device may include one or more mounting holes, small nail or screw can be inserted in mounting hole with by IoT devices be attached to wall or On other surfaces.In addition, some IoT devices may include magnetic material to allow IoT devices being attached on metal surface.
, can be at 802 via user's set 135 and IoT centers 110 once IoT devices are attached to appropriate position It is programmed.For example, user can by the application on user's set 135 or browser (directly or through 120) IoT services are connected to IoT centers 110.Using or the executable code of browser may include to allow user to each IoT The user interface that device is identified and programmed.Once IoT devices are have selected, for example, can provide a user alternative The list (for example, remote controlled air-conditioning/heater, audio-visual equipment of different model etc.) of different types of equipment.Once Correct equipment is have selected, remote-control code is stored on IoT centers as described above, and the IR/RF being sent on IoT devices Booster, so as to the control device at 803.In addition, as described above, various automatic control functions can be realized by IoT centers.
In one embodiment of the invention, IoT services 120 can reach an agreement with multiple cell operators 901, with Connectivity with the IoT centers 110 of different geographic regions is provided.For example, in the U.S., IoT services 120 can with Verizon and AT＆T reaches an agreement, to provide IoT centers connectivity.Therefore, IoT centers 110 can be located at by two or more supports Cell operator is provided in the position of service.
As shown in figure 9, in one embodiment of the invention, IoT centers 901 include being used for can at two or more Logical block 901 is selected with the cellular carrier that selection is carried out between cell operator 915-916.In one embodiment, Cell operator selection logical block is programmed with one group of rule 918, in two or more cell operators 915- Selected between 916.Once have selected specific cell operator, cell operator selection logical block 901 will indicate IoT Radio/the network stack 902 at center 110 is connected with the cell operator.
Various types of selection rule 918 can be achieved.For example, if compared with second community operator 916, IoT services 120 reach more favourable agreement (for example, relatively low decides through consultation speed/cost 912) with first community operator 915, then Assume that every other variable it is equal or in specified threshold range (for example, it is assumed that the signal of second community operator is strong Degree is enough) simple in rule connect first community operator 915 by one.
In one embodiment, the selection rule 918 for selecting logical block 901 to realize by cell operator can be by Other variables relevant with cost with cell operator connectivity are counted, including for example measured at IoT centers 110 it is every Current or historical signal intensity 911 at individual cell operator 915-916.Even if for example, IoT services 120 are as described above with the One cell operator 915 reaches more favourable agreement, but if the signal intensity of the first operator is less than specified threshold, cell fortune Battalion business selection logical block 901 still may be coupled to second community operator 916.
Similarly, cell operator selection logical block 901 can assess each cell operator when making decisions 915-916 reliability/performance data 913.For example, if it is known that first community operator 915 is unreliable in a particular area And/or provide lower performance (for example, data rate of reduction) more notable than second community operator 916, then cell Operator's selection logical block 901 can select second community operator (although reaching more favourable with first community operator Agreement).In one embodiment, reliability/performance data 913 and cell serves signal strength data 911 can be in IoT The heart 110 is collected with the time.For example, IoT centers 110 can continuously monitor each cell operator 915-916 signal intensity, Connection status, bandwidth and other link variables, and connection decision-making can be made based on the record data (at least in part).
In one embodiment, IoT services 120 can provide renewal to IoT centers, and the renewal includes and existing cell New/selection rule 918 for updating related operator 915-916 and/or its set up the new cell operator of agreement.For example, If the agreement between IoT services 120 and second community operator 916 has updated so that pass through second community operator 916 The cost of connection is relatively low, then the new selection rule 918 comprising the data and/or new cell serves speed 912 can be serviced from IoT 120 are sent to IoT centers 110.Then, when cell operator trade-off decision is presented, cell operator selection logical block 901 Can by including these new rule/rate calculations (if for example, having more cost effect with the connection of second community operator 916 Benefit, then tend to preference and so do).
In one embodiment, IoT centers 110 can be pre-configured with to transport with all available cells by IoT services 120 Battalion's business 915-916 connections (that is, are provided with subscriber identity module (SIM) 903 or connect its needed for cell operator 915-916 His authentication data).In one embodiment, can be configured for multiple cell operator 915-916 single SIM 903 (or its His authentication device).Therefore, after selection first community operator 915 (for example, based on selection rule 918 and its dependent variable), If first community operator 915 is unavailable, IoT centers 110 still may can roll back second community operator 916.Class As, IoT centers 110 can in response to conditions present change (for example, signal intensity is reduced to first community operator 915 And/or the cost reduction of second community operator 916) and/or from the new selections rule 918 that IoT services 120 are sent from first Cell operator 915 is switched to second community operator 916.
Once being configured with IoT centers 110 for multiple operator 915-916, then it can be according to the parameter of change in whole day Dynamically switch between these inherent operators.For example, the cost related to each cellular carrier 915-916 can be in whole day Interior change (for example, the first operator 915 during use may be more expensive in the height of such as peak period, and the second operator 916 at night may be more expensive).Similarly, special time of the cell tower of an operator in day or night may become Overload, causes connectivity to reduce.Using the techniques described herein, cell operator selection logical block 901 can be commented continuously Estimate these conditions, and as condition change dynamically switches between operators.
Figure 10 shows the method according to one embodiment of the invention.This method can framework shown in Fig. 9 environment It is interior to implement, but it is not limited to any specific system architecture.
At 1001, IoT centers are configured for multiple cell operators, and with the cell operator different from being connected to Related rule is programmed to IoT centers.For example, a rule may cause IoT centers to be connected to first service provider, Without connected to second service provider (every other variable equal or threshold value in definition in).At 1002, collect with it is small The related data of operator of area connectivity, cost and/or other correlated variables.For example, as described above, each cell operator Signal intensity can be used for connection decision-making is presented.
At 1003, using the data executing rule of collection to determine to connect the main plot operator at IoT centers.For example, In the case of every other variable equal (or in the range of specified threshold), the cell that IoT centers initially can be with lower cost Operator connects.As described above, initial main districts operator then can be in response to servicing the condition that sends from IoT and/or new / update regular change and change.At 1004, IoT centers are connected with main plot operator, may use assisted cell Operator connects as retracting.Then IoT centers can at 1005 etc. the period to be specified (for example, one hour, one day, one Week etc.), during this period, IoT centers can be collected and the relevant additional data such as connectivity, cost.After a delay, the process Repeat, and if significant changes have occurred for rule/data, then IoT centers can at 1004 with new main plot operator Connection.
As shown in figure 11, in one embodiment, various types of event 1101,1102-N can be filled by IoT Put and generate and send IoT centers 110.With mode for example and not limitation, event 1101,1102-N may include security incident, Door or window in such as user family are opened in the case of no safety code or other necessary certifications, temperature reaches what is specified Threshold value (for example, indicate stove burner have turned on or indicate potential fire), when the household of user and user stay out Triggering motion detector, triggering smoke detector, the sensor on sprinkler systems indicate that the run time of water jet has exceeded Specify period, refrigerator sensor or dresser sensor instruction user relatively low, etc. for the utilization rate of certain food.
In one embodiment, IoT service 120 and/or one or more external service 1120-1122 can be via API is interacted with IoT centers 110 to receive the event 1101,1102-N generated by various IoT devices, and can be responded In including to user 1115 send notify (for example, via mobile device of user) event and take various actions.For example, outer The service of grocery store of portion can receive the event related from the use level of the different foods in user's refrigerator or dresser, and automatically Update online grocery store's list or the scheduling order of user.External security service can receive related to the security in user family Event, and attempt user is notified in response to alarm.If temperature sensor is increased to more than specific threshold, another Service can notify fire department and/or send to user to notify.It may be noted that these specific examples are just for the sake of illustration Purpose and provide.The general principle of the present invention is not limited to any certain types of event or event response.
In some cases, the event generated by IoT devices can be harmless, and can need not be sent to IoT Service 120 and/or external service 1120-1122.For example, the IoT thermostat apparatus of user can periodically report user house In Current Temperatures, and other IoT devices can periodically report the measured value only indicated in the range of acceptable thresholds Event.Therefore, the event sent for the network (or being connected via the internet of user) reduced by cellular carrier Quantity a, embodiment at IoT centers 110 includes certain form of event forwarding to IoT will not being serviced to 120 and/or outer Portion services 1120-1122 event filter 1110.In one embodiment, it is each event 1101,1102-N, which is distributed, to be referred to Show the cognizance code of event type.Based on the one group of filtering rule 1111 provided by IoT services 120 and/or end user 1115 (for example, being configured via application/browser), by event filter filter out some event types (for example, abandon or only It is not forward), and other event types are stored on IoT centers 110 and are forwarded to IoT services 120 and/or other outside clothes Be engaged in 1120-1122.
As described above, external service 1120-1122 and/or IoT service 120 can be configured as by that will notify via interconnection Net 220 is sent to user's set and notifies certain form of event to end user.If for example, temperature sensor is higher than specified Threshold value, IoT services 120 can send a notification to end user's device, to inform the relevant potential problems of user.In addition, at certain In the case of a little, IoT centers 110 can will notify to be transmitted directly to end user (except event is transmitted directly into IoT services Outside 120 and/or external service 1120-1122).
In one embodiment, external service 1120-1122 and IoT services 120 utilize what is exposed by IoT centers 110 API (API).For example, special services can receive one group of particular event via API registration.Due to IoT services 120 know that each external service 1120-1122 is configured as which API (and which event therefore received) received, therefore it can Dynamically to send filtering Policy Updates 1111 to cause the forwarding of event filter 1110 by itself and various external services Those events that 1120-1122 is subscribed to.According to configuration, IoT centers 110 can safeguard that all events (including are not forwarded to outer Those events of portion's service) daily record, or can only abandon the event not forwarded.
In one embodiment, IoT services 120 include filtering thing according to one group of filtering rule for as described herein The event filter (in addition to the event filter 1110 on IoT centers 110 or be used as the replacement of the event filter) of part. In this embodiment, each external service 1120-1122 can be by receiving certain by IoT services 120 API exposed to subscribe to The event of a little types.Event is generated and (can filtered by local event filter 1110) by IoT centers 110, is sent to IoT services 120 (can be filtered by IoT service filters) are simultaneously forwarded to external service 1120-1122 and/or end user's device.IoT is serviced Filter (that is, can be advised by being configured with IoT central filters similar mode as described herein according only to one group of filtering Then forward certain types of event/notice).
Technology for filtering the event in IoT centers 110 and/or IoT services 120 as described above is favourable, because It reduces a large amount of unnecessary flows in the network of cell operator and/or the internet connection of user/service.These realities It is probably particularly advantageous for the family fully achieved with a large amount of IoT devices (and being therefore usually a large amount of events) to apply scheme 's.
