Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for providing services for a plurality of connected IoT devices and a computer program product comprising a code device.
- objects are given a unique identity and can communicate with one another or receive commands.
- WO 2019/057330 A1 discloses a method for using a computer unit of an autonomously movable vehicle and a vehicle designed to carry out such a method. Provision is made for computing power of the computer unit to be made available to at least one external computer network and/or a computer network during a charging process of an electrical energy store in the vehicle.
- the "Ocean Protocol” offers a two-way marketplace for data based on distributed ledger technology (DLT). Thereby, the unsolved problem remains how data provisioning for millions of consumer-owned connected IoT devices, such as connected vehicles, can be handled in advance on the data provider side.
- DLT distributed ledger technology
- the object of the present invention is to provide a concept with a holistic approach to the management and monetization of any type of service that a connected loT device can provide for any decentralized marketplace, to monetize its service offering on this marketplace in a secure and trusted manner.
- this object is achieved by a method for providing services for a plurality of connected loT devices, wherein a loT device as a service provider entity or as a service provider entity (SPI) is configured and the loT device provides a plurality of services, and wherein the services are based on data generated by the loT device, on computing resources of the loT device, on space and/or transport capacities of the loT device, on energy resources of the loT device and/or or on the electrical energy storage capacity of the loT device.
- a loT device as a service provider entity or as a service provider entity (SPI) is configured and the loT device provides a plurality of services
- the services are based on data generated by the loT device, on computing resources of the loT device, on space and/or transport capacities of the loT device, on energy resources of the loT device and/or or on the electrical energy storage capacity of the loT device.
- Some non-limiting examples of this could be the provision of computing power or storage capacity.
- the transport of people and goods e.g. by a robotaxi, can also be offered, as well as the provision of lounges of any kind for people (e.g. as sleeping, relaxing or seating) or for goods.
- the interior of vehicles could be used, e.g. the interior of a van as an interim storage room during the distribution or delivery of goods.
- Provision of a platform e.g. in the form of energy supply and transport from A to B, for modules that transport people or goods, for example, can also be considered.
- a management layer for service provision campaigns is provided in order to record service provisioning properties of the individual service provider entities (SPI) and combine them in a service provider entity-specific service provisioning profile (SPP).
- the management layer for service provision campaigns advantageously causes the decoupling of the service provider entities (SPI) from the marketplaces and thus from the service users.
- the service provisioning profile (SPP) includes technical capabilities of the service provider instances (SPI), user settings of the owner and/or the user of the service provider instance and usage patterns that an artificial intelligence service automatically derives from the use of the Service Provider Instance (SPI) derives.
- the service provider entity is coupled to the available marketplaces and a monetization service is provided to customers who operate the service provider entities.
- an automated process is carried out, after which a user accepts an offer from the service provider entity.
- service providers and service users negotiate a smart contract or an intelligent contract.
- the idea according to the invention is thus advantageously flexible and expandable.
- the identities of the persons involved or of service providers and service users are preferably known and trustworthy.
- the customer identification process is carried out using biometric and/or other characteristics of the person or user in order to identify him. This clearly identifies the customer for this use case of assigning the correct customer role.
- the object is achieved by a computer program product comprising code means suitable for carrying out the steps of a method according to the first aspect of the invention when run on a computer.
- An idea of the present invention is based on designing a connected IoT device, for example a connected vehicle, as a service provider entity capable of providing various services that can be monetized. These services are preferably based on data that the IoT device generates, on the computing resources and/or on the electrical energy storage capacity that the IoT device is equipped with.
- any kind of service based on the resources and capabilities of the connected IoT devices can be managed and monetized by the inventive idea.
- the handling of the services is independent of the type of service and is designed for a maximum of automation while maintaining a maximum of reliability and trust for the respective owners or operators of the service provider entities as well as for the users of the service.
- the idea according to the invention is based on the application of the "economy of things" in connection with a connected loT device that interacts with end customers, such as passenger vehicles or other transport systems.
- machines will be able to carry out business transactions automatically, autonomously and without direct human intervention.
- this also works in the opposite direction, for example if the vehicle itself uses external services, such as in particular: when receiving energy; when using infrastructure, such as road tolls; when loading and unloading cargo; for cleaning services and for repair and maintenance services.
- these services can be operated through the same marketplaces, but with the opposite role of consumer and not service provider.
- Fig. 1 shows the concept of the ocean protocol marketplace according to the prior art
- FIG. 3 shows an onboard context management system with multiple aggregation levels (rows) and multiple domain perspectives (columns) in another possible embodiment
- FIG. 4 shows a holistic concept for monetizing the provision of services for IoT devices with identity management in another possible embodiment.
- 2 shows an IoT device, such as a road vehicle, which is designed as a service provider entity 7 (SPI1) in a first preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention.
- SPI1 service provider entity 7
- the service monetization management system 16 and the customer management system 15 are located in the backend 14 of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
- OEM original equipment manufacturer
- parts of the service management systems or modules mentioned are also located in the cloud.
- a centralized service monetization management system 16 (Service Monetization Management System, SMMS) integrates the service provider instance 7 with the corresponding customers from the customer management system 15.
- SMMS 16 integrates several decentralized marketplaces that can develop independently of each other, as they are different types of services or even completely different industries and market characteristics.
- these decentralized marketplaces are based on distributed ledger technology (DLT).
- DLT distributed ledger technology
- the data 20, energy 21 and computing marketplace 22 are all decentralized and based on DLT 17, 18, 19.
- Two data consumers 23, 24 are on the decentralized data marketplace 20
- one energy storage consumer 25 is on the decentralized energy marketplace 21
- two computing resource consumers 26 are on the decentralized computing marketplace 22.
- these marketplaces will be permissioned and private networks on the one hand, while others are designed to be permissionless and public networks at the same time. Even the chosen variant of the DLT could differ significantly, with all of these variants being encapsulated in the SMMS.
- the service management functions for the service provider entity SPI1 are located in the "digital twin" of the service provider entity SPI1 in the backend or in the cloud of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). In such an architecture, these management functions have interfaces to the "physical twin", the real loT instance, in order to exchange the relevant data.
- API stands for an "Application Programming Interface”.
- a service campaign management system should be established that is able to orchestrate between the service product offerings in the service marketplaces, the service provider entities (SPIs), and the service customers. This is a function contained within the SMMS.
- the service operation process will preferably be performed as follows:
- the OEM defines the service product, establishes a service campaign, and communicates the service offering to the appropriate marketplace.
- the service provider entities create, maintain and communicate their service procurement profiles or service provisioning profiles (SPP) to the SMMS on a regular basis.
- SPP service provisioning profiles
- all details are described in a generic and semantically correct manner, which services are offered by the specific service provider instances under all relevant aspects.
- the SPP contains the hard technical parameters and capabilities of the service provider instances, such as available data points, quality and update details, energy storage capacities, computing capacities, etc.
- the owner or operator of the service provider instance SPI defines which services and to what extent and in what time frame are available.
- the SPPs are analyzed and filtered by the SMMS that match the service campaign criteria.
- the SMMS sends the request to a service provider entity that is able and available to provide the requested service.
- the service is delivered by a service provider entity and paid for by the corresponding service consumer at the end of the delivery phase.
- the service provider entity receives the money itself, and the relevant owner or operator will benefit from this additional revenue stream.
- tokens could also be exchanged as a currency substitute, which then can be exchanged back into real currencies in the corresponding amount. This means that micropayments can also be easily made possible.
- FIG. 3 shows an onboard context management system with multiple aggregation levels (rows) and multiple domain perspectives (columns) in a second preferred embodiment of the invention.
- the onboard context management system 28 as part of the service provider entity SPI is extended in such a way that it offers a data source for any type of data service product.
- the "data recorder" element 37 in this diagram serves as an interface to the onboard context data that is the source for a data service product monetized by the owner/operator of the service provider entity SPI.
- the onboard context management system 28 has in its respective rows applications 29, context 30, meaning 31 and raw sensor data 32, the raw sensor data 32 transforming the data into "information” before transforming it into “knowledge”. and “wisdom” are transformed.
- Other objects, individuals and their behavior 33, weather conditions and trends 34, traffic conditions and trends 35, personal behavior 36 and the already mentioned data recorder 37 are listed in the columns.
- the owner financed the purchase of the vehicle and is the investor of this asset; the lessee signed a contract with the owner to own the vehicle for a period of time; the driver holds the keys and thus defines where the vehicle is going and who gets into the vehicle as a passenger; and the passenger to whom the driver allows access to a specific seat or location in the vehicle.
- the passenger determines where the vehicle is going, e.g. in a taxi, whereas in other preferred embodiments the route is predetermined, e.g. in a bus. Every vehicle needs at least the role of owner, while some vehicles do not need the role of driver when it comes to fully autonomous robo-cars or robo-buses. Often, some of these roles are combined into a single person.
- a clear definition of who gets which part of the revenue generated by the vehicle is preferably helpful for the monetization of the vehicle data, especially if the roles are distributed among different parties.
- This definition of the revenue share should preferably be defined in advance and made transparent for all participants in the "customer vs. OEM" ecosystem. These definitions should preferably be defined within each data campaign by the OEM and should preferably be implemented in the corresponding smart contracts.
- a definition of the term revenue share is: OEM: 30%, the owner: 30%, the tenant: 20%, the driver: 10%, and all passengers together: 10%.
- a definition of the term revenue share is: A hired taxi driver who has no passengers on board: 20%, a private customer who buys a vehicle and drives alone: 70%, and a private customer who leases a vehicle and drives alone drives: 40%.
- FIG. 4 shows a holistic concept for monetizing the provision of services for IoT devices with identity management in a third preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 4 differs from FIG. 2 by the use of self-determined identity technology, which is implemented in the on-board identity management system 12 and communicates with an application in the person's or user's personal smartphone 13 . As soon as the person moves into the appropriate role, for example when entering the vehicle "Checked In”, role and identity are matched and revenue sharing management is done.
