Blockchain gateway facing application of Internet of Things and method for managing Internet of Things using the gateway

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of computers, in particular to a blockchain gateway facing application of Internet of Things and a method for managing Internet of Things using the gateway. The method is characterized in providing blockchain accessing capability for a device of Internet of Things. The gateway comprises a local area network interaction module, an internet interaction module, a gateway management module and a blockchain functional module. The local area network interaction module is used for realizing communication between the blockchain gateway and the device of Internet of Things located in the same local area network. The internet interaction module enables the blockchain gateway to access the Internet and communicate with remote hosts, servers, other blockchain gateways or other communicable devices through the Internet to realize a direct communication or a P2P communication, so as to complete a data interaction. The gateway management module is used forrealizing functions of fault reporting, remote diagnosis and recovery, and online software upgrading of the blockchain gateway. The blockchain functional module is used for realizing functions of theblockchain gateway as a blockchain node, wherein the functions comprise that initiating credibility verification, transaction initiating, transaction check executing, transaction verification and transaction packaging of the device of Internet of Things on the blockchain.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of Internet of Things and block chain, in particular to a block chain gateway oriented to the application of Internet of Things. Background technique [0002] The Internet of Things technology connects items and items together for information exchange and communication, which is a further expansion and extension of the existing Internet. The Internet of Things can improve the utilization efficiency of item resources and save people's time. However, the traditional Internet of Things model relies on a centralized server to collect data from each connected device and manage IoT devices. This method will increase with the increase of IoT devices. A large amount of communication information is generated, which leads to a significant increase in the operating cost of the IoT system. In addition, due to the deep integration of IoT devices with people's daily life, once the central server is invaded, people's life a...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the existing blockchain consensus protocols generally require blockchain nodes to have high computing or storage capabilities. Even some lightweight blockchain consensus algorithms are still not suitable for applications where most resources are limited. on the Internet of Things nodes

Therefore, under the existing Internet of Things and blockchain technology framework, there is a lack of a means to effectively apply blockchain technology to the Internet of Things scenario
