Background

In an Internet of Things (IoT) environment, various IoT devices are deployed in a network and form a so-called ad hoc IoT network. The Narrow-Band Internet of things (NBIoT) belongs to a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN), and the Network can be directly deployed in the existing 2G/3G/4G Network, only consumes about 180KHz of bandwidth, and has the characteristics of Wide coverage, more connections, Low rate, Low cost, Low Power consumption, excellent architecture … and the like.

However, the NBIoT issues are currently focused on transmission methods and NBIoT applications in a small range, and there is no systematic integration.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

It should be noted that the description relating to "first", "second", etc. in the present invention is for descriptive purposes only and is not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the feature. In addition, technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but must be realized by a person skilled in the art, and when the technical solutions are contradictory or cannot be realized, the combination of the technical solutions should not be considered to exist, and is not within the protection scope of the present invention.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating steps of an auto-detection and broadcast method according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to an electronic device (e.g., a small base station). The order of the steps in the flow chart may be changed and some steps may be omitted according to different needs.

In step S1, it is determined whether IoT information is detected.

Step S2, if the IoT information is detected, matching the default policy with the IoT type, and determining whether the policy matches the IoT type.

In step S3, if the predetermined policy matches the IoT type, the IoT execution module is notified to execute an operation, such as broadcasting a Short Message Service (SMS) Message in the base station.

Step S4, after the IoT execution module executes the operation, or if the preset policy does not match the IoT type, the IoT information is forwarded to a Cloud Server (Cloud Server) based on Quality of service (QoS), and the IoT execution module is notified to execute the operation according to the policy issued by the Cloud Server.

In step S5, if the predetermined policy does not match the IoT type, it is determined whether policy update information is detected.

In step S6, if the policy update information is detected, the policy table is updated.

And step S7, judging whether corresponding operation needs to be executed.

In step S8, the IoT execution module is notified to perform an operation when a corresponding operation needs to be performed, such as broadcasting an SMS message in the base station.

Fig. 2 is a diagram of an application environment of auto-detection and broadcast according to an embodiment of the present invention. A Narrow-Band internet of things (NBIoT) device NI1.. NI5 in the IoT network reports IoT information to a cloud server (management system) 120 of the IoT cloud via a small base station 110 (conforming to the 2G/3G/LTE protocol), and the small base station 110 simultaneously establishes a Secure communication channel (ST) with the cloud server (management system) 120.

An external user (e.g., government) 130 can configure the policy of the management system in IoT state Information management (IoT Status Information Handling) through interface a, for example, to notify the small base station 110 or not notify the small base station 110. The external user 130 can choose to use interface b to adjust the strategy of the small base station 110.

The Local Gateway (L-GW) 115 may be applied to the small base station 110 or the cloud server (management system) 120.

The format of the policy is represented as follows:

IoT classes

Critical value

Operation of

IoT categories: IoT message classes, e.g., smoke detection;

critical value: triggering a critical value of operation, wherein if the value is 0, the triggering is not performed; and

the operation is as follows: no action, notification of the small base station to broadcast SMS, notification of the small base station to turn off Radio Frequency (RF).

Based on the IoT category, the small base station 110 may also include policies for QoS and processing operations, which are expressed in the following policy format:

IoT classes

Policy

Local operation

IoT categories: IoT message classes, e.g., smoke detection;

critical value: the value range is 0-10, and 10 is the highest priority; and

the operation is as follows: bypass (Bypass), local processing (L-GW).

When the cloud server (management system) 120 detects an IoT status update, it checks if there are any policies that are met. If no relevant information exists, no operation is executed. If the policy is satisfied, the small base station 110 is notified to perform the operation via a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

When the small base station 110 detects a status update, the local IoT processing operation is checked. If the status indicates Bypass, the femtocell 110 sends the IoT information to the cloud server (management system) 120 and does not perform any operation. If the status indicates a matching policy, the small base station 110 performs corresponding operations, such as sending an SMS to the

mobile device

141 or 143 in another network (e.g., a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network).

It should be noted that the present invention is described by taking NBIOT as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any type of network topology or network using other communication protocols can be applied to the method of the present invention.

The electronic device 200, but not limited to, may be communicatively coupled to the processor 210, the memory 220, and the auto-detect and broadcast system 230 via a system bus, and fig. 3 only illustrates the electronic device 200 with the

components

210 and 230, but it is understood that not all illustrated components are required to be implemented, and that more or fewer components may be implemented instead.

The memory 220 includes at least one type of readable storage medium including a flash memory, a hard disk, a multimedia card, a card type memory (e.g., SD or DX memory, etc.), a Random Access Memory (RAM), a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), a Read Only Memory (ROM), an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM), a Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM), a magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, etc. In some embodiments, the memory 220 may be an internal storage unit of the electronic device 10, such as a hard disk or a memory of the electronic device 200. In other embodiments, the memory may also be an external storage device of the electronic apparatus 200, such as a plug-in hard disk, a Smart Media Card (SMC), a Secure Digital (SD) Card, a Flash memory Card (Flash Card), or the like, provided on the electronic apparatus 200. Of course, the memory 220 may also include both an internal storage unit and an external storage device of the electronic apparatus 200.

After the IoT executing module 330 executes the operation, or if the preset policy is not matched with the IoT type, the IoT executing module 330 forwards the IoT information to a Cloud Server (Cloud Server) based on Quality of service (QoS), and notifies the IoT executing module to execute the operation according to the policy issued by the Cloud Server.

If the predetermined policy does not match the IoT type, the update module 340 then determines whether policy update information is detected. If the policy update information is detected, the update module 340 updates the policy table.

The update module 340 determines whether there is a corresponding operation to be performed. The update module 340 notifies the IoT execution module 330 to perform an operation when a corresponding operation needs to be performed, such as broadcasting an SMS message in a base station.
