Interoperability mechanisms for an Internet of things integration platform

摘要

A method for maintaining interoperability between Internet of Things (IoT) devices connected through a loT integration platform, comprising: receiving a user selection of a semantic tag associated with a loT device in a management interface of rules, where the rule management interface is generated by a consolidation interface generation module as part of a consolidation interface, the consolidation interface can access and / or manage loT devices connected to the integration platform, each being loT device capable of communicating with a server or a mobile application through a network; determine a recommendation of an interoperable rule based on the semantic tag of the loT device, the interoperable rule that has a condition trigger and an action policy to be executed when the condition trigger is detected in a network of connected loT devices, in where the interoperable rule action policy is executed by a rule execution module to control one or more of the connected loT devices, and where one or more of the connected loT devices to be controlled by the action policy includes the loT device associated with the selected semantic tag; presenting the recommendation on the rules management interface; receive a confirmation from a user through the rule management interface to activate the interoperable rule, in response to the user's confirmation to activate the interoperable rule; monitor to detect the activation of the condition between the loT devices connected to the loT integration platform, and execute the action policy controlling one or more of the loT devices when the activation of the condition is detected.
