Methods for monitoring and control of electronic devices

摘要

The present invention relates to telemetry methods and systems and more particularly, to telemetry network connectivity systems, devices and methods. In accordance with various embodiments, a suite of software components configured to provide machine-to-machine network connectivity includes a configurable device translation server module, a complex message constructor and at least one database. In some embodiments the suite of software components, specifically the complex message constructor, may be configured to authenticate commands between an interface and the device translation server. Additionally, the suite of software components, specifically the complex message constructor, may be configured to manage messages between the interface and the device translation server. Managing messages may include initiating alerts and notifications based on a comparison of programming and substantially synchronous and stored information.

主权项

1. A method of machine-to-machine communication comprising:
authenticating a source of an issued command; performing device discovery according to the authenticated source of the issued command; reviewing a content of the issued command and comparing the content of the issued command with a preset programming; generating notifications based on a comparison of the preset programming and both stored device reporting information and synchronous device reporting information, wherein the preset programming comprises at least one of a determination of reported data trends, device status, device communication failure, device operating in an unauthorized manner, reported level deviating from an expected range, and reported data exceeding a safety condition; querying, storing and retrieving information from a database based on the comparison; translating a common telemetry interface to a device specific protocol; executing a device method instance in real-time, wherein the device method instance comprises at least one of a device specific protocol information, device specific location information, device identifier, and device specific network information; executing a method in simulated synchronously if real-time data is unavailable; translating from the device specific protocol to the common telemetry interface; and storing and replying to the source of the issued command.
