Collaborative Enhanced System for Heterogeneous IoT Devices

摘要

With the pace by which IoT devices are created nowadays, there will be numerous IoT devices in any environment, be it home or industry or anywhere else. With this rapid pace, it has become more and more difficult for device manufactures to expect that their end users have a unified homogeneous ecosystem (where every device comes from the same manufacture and are carefully developed to work in harmony so that they work with each other without any hassle) which is not in most of the cases. Thus, a solution is being proposed which allows devices from different manufactures which are meant to perform different tasks, to collaborate and use each other's knowledge to give a unified experience to the end-user, even if the actual network doesn't consist of homogeneous devices. In our proposed system, there exists a central node (central server) in every local network which communicates with each IoT device present in that network. Here the central node acts as a mediator for IoT devices to communicate with each other and share their data. Plus, any IoT device connected to the central server can also utilize its power to perform certain high-end tasks which they can't perform on their own in real-time.
