The IoT DIY manufacturer simulator 100 is a computing device in which a simulator is run to simulate the IoT system / service constructed by the sensors selected in the sensor set module 200 and the actuators selected in the actuator set module 300.

The IoT DIY maker simulator 100 includes a sensor interface 110, a sensor function mapper 120, a sensor function set 130, a monitor agent 140, an actuator function set 150, and an actuator interface 160.

The sensor function set 130 is a set of sensor functions for processing data generated in the sensors provided in the sensor set module 200.

The sensor function mapper 120 selects the most appropriate sensor function in the sensor function set 130 in processing the data of the sensor selected by the user and maps the selected sensor function to the sensor interface 110 to which the sensor selected by the user is connected.

The sensor function selected by the sensor function mapper 120 collects data transmitted from the sensor selected by the user through the sensor interface 110 and transmits the collected data to the monitor agent 140.

The actuator interface 160 is a communication interface for transmitting driving signals to the actuators of the actuator set module 300. The actuator interface 160 communicates with the actuator selected by the user of the actuators of the actuator set module 300.

2, one of the sensors provided in the sensor set module 200 is selected by the user (S210), and one of the actuators included in the actuator set module 300 is selected (step S210) S220).

The sensor interface 110 establishes a communication connection with the sensor selected by the user in step S230, and the actuator interface 160 establishes a communication connection with the actuator selected by the user in step S240.

Then, the sensor function mapper 120 selects a sensor function for processing data generated in the sensor connected to the communication, and maps the selected sensor function to the sensor interface 110 (S250).

In addition, the monitor agent 140 generates an IoT system / service control algorithm (S260). The algorithm generation in step S260 is performed by the user or automatically.
