SENSING DEVICE AND GROUPING METHOD

摘要

A grouping method for a sensing device is provided. The sensing device includes a sensor, a processor, storage and a communication device controlled by the processor. The method includes: inquiring the sensing device's sensing function, supported network types; exchanging the inquired information with other sensing devices having a same sensing function and in networks of same supported network types; forming a function group based on a pre-defined first rule, and exchanging first configuration parameters within the function group; designating one of the sensing devices of the group a master sensing device, and rest of the group slave sensing device(s) based on the exchanged first configuration parameters and a pre-defined second rule; and controlling the master sensing device's the communication device to receive operation parameters and commands from a device outside the function group and relaying the operation parameters and commands to the rest of the function group.

1. A sensing device comprising:
at least one central processing unit (CPU); at least one storage unit coupled to the CPU configured to store the sensing device's sensing function, supported network types; a sensor coupled to the CPU; a communication device controlled by the CPU; and a grouping system stored in the storage unit, the grouping system comprising a plurality of modules executable by the CPU to cause the CPU to:
inquire the sensing device's sensing function, supported network types stored in the storage;interact with one or more sensing devices in networks of the supported network types, share the sensing function with the one or more sensing devices, and acquire the one or more sensing devices' sensing functions;form a function group by grouping the sensing device with at least one of the one or more sensing devices that have the same sensing function as the sensing device's sensing function based on a pre-defined first rule and through interaction with the one or more sensing devices, and exchange first configuration parameters of the sensing device with other sensing devices within the function group;designate one of the sensing devices of the function group a master sensing device, and rest of the group slave sensing device(s), based on the exchanged first configuration parameters and a pre-defined second rule; andcontrol the communication device to receive operation parameters and commands from a device outside the function group and relay the operation parameters and commands to the rest of the function group, upon a condition that the sensing device is the master sensing device.
