Internet of Things gateway and method for accessing Internet of Things equipment to gateway

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides an Internet of Things gateway and a method for accessing Internet of Things equipment to the gateway. The Internet of Things gateway comprises at least one communication module, a memory and a processor, and each communication module and each memory are respectively connected with the processor; the memory is used for storing one or more computer instructions, and when the one or more computer instructions are executed by the processor, the following steps are implemented: establishing wireless network connection between the Internet of Things equipmentand the corresponding communication module, carrying out adaptation operation of a wireless communication protocol in a mode of packaging a corresponding protocol gateway software model on the basisof the communication module, and accessing the Internet of Things equipment supporting the wireless communication protocol to the Internet of Things gateway. The Internet of Things equipment adoptingdifferent communication protocols can be accessed to the same Internet of Things gateway; the control of the Internet of Things equipment is not influenced by the communication protocol adopted by theInternet of Things equipment, so that the use of the Internet of Things equipment is not limited.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of the Internet of Things, and in particular to an Internet of Things gateway and a method for connecting an Internet of Things device to the gateway. Background technique [0002] The Internet of Things (English: Internet of Things, referred to as: IoT) is an information carrier such as the Internet and traditional telecommunication networks, which enables all ordinary objects that can perform independent functions to realize interconnection and intercommunication. The application fields of the Internet of Things mainly include transportation and logistics, health and medical fields, smart homes, smart offices, smart factories, smart buildings, and personal and social fields. Among them, the Internet of Things in the field of smart home mainly uses Internet of Things technology to connect various devices in the home (such as audio and video equipment, lighting systems, curtain control, air conditi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] When using IoT technology to connect various IoT devices together, an IoT gateway is required, and the current IoT gateway can only access IoT devices with a single protocol, such as the IoT gateway of the ZigBee protocol can only access IoT devices that support the ZigBee protocol, and the IoT devices actually accessed by users may be suitable for different protocol types, and the IoT devices actually accessed by users are diverse, and the devices of a certain manufacturer cannot cover user devices Type requirements, resulting in users needing to use multiple gateways to access various types of IoT devices; existing IoT gateways as a device access point have weak computing and storage capabilities, which cannot meet the needs of users to access a large number of IoT devices ; Existing IoT gateways often need to be connected to the cloud in real time to meet user usage scenarios such as voice control, smart scene usage, etc. User usage is limited by communication with the cloud. Once there is a problem in the cloud, such as physical damage caused by the cable being cut off, etc. appears, the entire system will be completely paralyzed; therefore, the problems existing in the current Internet of Things gateway make the use of Internet of Things devices have greater limitations
