The attribute is the basic element of the object, and is required in the packet interpretation and transformation induction steps. The collocation object displays the information stored in the model storage device 20, and the universal access interface 16 converts the packet translated by the object model into an object instruction, which will be described in detail later. The external object is at least one device 22 or at least one controller 24, which transmits a packet to the adapter 10 via a communication interface 222 or 242. In group 12, the communication command translation module 12 in the adapter 10 also transmits the object command to the device 22 or the controller 24 via the communication interface 222 or 242.

Please refer to Figure 2, which is a block diagram of the creation of the application model management system for the Internet of Things. The communication command translation module 12 further includes a communication result 121, a communication command package 122, a command queue 123, a channel 124, a command queue 125, and a channel 126. The object model translation module 14 further includes data. The steps of interpreting 142, transformation and induction 144 and object instruction 146; the universal access interface 16 includes steps of command reply 162 and object instruction 164, and the adapter 10 is used for bridging various communication connection modes and functional modules of the communication protocol. Between the object and the data source, it is responsible for parsing and transmitting data, operating instructions and communication commands.

In addition, the adapter 10 is further connected to a channel setting module 18, wherein objects for storing external objects (ie, device 22 or controller 24) are set with reference to 182 and channel parameters 184, such as TCP/IP, such as IPv4 and serial ports. There are different settings, you need to specify which connection channel to go, if it is a communication protocol, such as HTTP, in addition to the channel parameter 184, even the object reference 182 must be set to special specifications of HTTP, such as Schneider's device, one channel 11 routers can be set, and each router can be connected to several other small routers. The setting of the house number is recorded in the channel parameter 184; the object reference 182 provides the object model translation module 14 for data interpretation of the packet. The channel parameter 184 is used to set parameters that can correspond to different communication protocols or channels. The object presentation model storage device 20 includes the attribute reference 202 of the external object itself and the communication parameter 204. The attribute reference 202 also provides the object model translation module 14 for data interpretation of the packet, and the communication parameter 204 is used to set different communication. The parameters of the agreement or channel.

Please refer to Figure 3, which is a block flow diagram of the translation part of the object model in Figure 2. The device 22 or the controller 24 sends at least one packet to the adapter 10. After receiving the packet, the communication command translation module 12 displays the communication result 121 of the packet, which is to display the communication result 121 related to the packet; then, the packet is displayed. Transfer to the object model translation module 14 for data interpretation 142, this step At the same time, the information in the channel setting module 18 (including the object reference 182 and the channel parameter 184) and the information in the object presentation model storage device 20 (including the attribute reference 202 and the communication parameter 204) are used to perform data interpretation on the packet 142; Then, according to the information in the object presentation model storage device 20 (including the attribute reference 202 and the communication parameter 204), the transformation and induction 144 are performed, and the data in the packet is converted into a data type and summarized into an attribute corresponding to the external object. The packet is standardized. In this step, the purpose of the data type conversion is that many communication protocols define what type of value is currently captured, so the conversion is performed according to the setting data type of the communication parameter 204; finally, the packet is at this time. The data in the data is already standardized entity data, which is transferred to the universal access interface 16 and converted into object instructions for command reply 162, for example, to the cloud system or the user's mobile device. Since the external object itself is a logic, the translation of the object model can make the entity data logically standardized.

Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a block flow diagram of the communication command translation part in FIG. When an upper layer (such as a cloud system or a user's mobile device, computer, etc.) issues an object instruction 164 to the adapter 10, the universal access interface 16 transmits the object instruction 164 to the object model translation module 14; the object model translation module 14 retransmits the object instruction 164 to the communication command translation module 12; in the communication command translation module 12, according to the communication command, the communication command package 122 is performed on the object instruction, for example, if the communication method of the external object is Bluetooth, Bluetooth It has its profile, which is defined by the International Bureau of Standards. Therefore, when the communication command is packaged 122, the setting format of the Bluetooth communication is tied, which is provided by the communication parameter 204 in the object presentation model storage device 20, and then In addition, what services and parameters are required for the external object are encapsulated together, and the services, parameters, and the like are provided by the attribute reference 202 in the object presentation model storage device 20; then, according to the channel setting module 18 The stored object reference channel 182 and channel parameter 184 establish channels 124, 126, each of which requires a channel, but The object with the communication parameter 204 must share a channel, and then the command queue 123 or 125 according to the characteristics of the connection behavior of each external object. For example, the sequence is mostly a single command access, and the command queue is required. Sequential processing. Therefore, the object instruction 164 is not directly sent to the device 22 or the controller 24, but is sent to the adapter 10, and the logic 10 is converted into physical data to the device 22 or the controller 24 via the adapter 10, and the upper layer does not need to manage the data of the physical layer at all. However, how to access, and not write code about how the connection behavior of the physical device is done, but all are handled by the adapter 10.

The command queues 123, 125 and the setup channels 124, 126 are established according to the channel parameters 184 when the adapter 10 is generated. This is the current design rule of the adapter 10. As described above, the sequence is mostly a single command access and requires a command. Column sequential processing, but many TCP/IP services can be multiplexed, you can change the design rules of the adapter 10 to the communication command package 122 for TCP/IP, as shown in Figure 5, without using the command queue. It is necessary to command the upper command of the queue to create the channel 124 program, and the channel 126 is directly established without the command queue.
