System and Method for Managing Applications as IoT Objects

摘要

A system, apparatus, and method for managing applications as Internet of Things (IoT) objects includes an IoT server, a computing device, and an IoT application. The IoT server and the computing device communicate via a network. The computing device has an IoT interface and an IoT-enabled application with an RPC interface. The IoT interface uses the RPC interface to communicate with the IoT-enabled application. The IoT interface communicates with the IoT server or the IoT application using an IoT protocol. The IoT interface operates the IoT-enabled application as an IoT device in the system.
