Providing near real-time device representation to applications and services

摘要

Systems and methods are described comprising receiving at a platform device data of a client device and storing the device data in a data block allocated to the client device. A control command for the client device is received from a service application, and the control command is accepted at a device controller. The device controller accepts the control command on behalf of the client device. The device controller, in response to the control command, retrieves the device data from the data block instead of receiving the device data directly from the client device, and provides the device data to the service application. Subsequent to provision of the device data to the service application, the device controller relays the control command to the client device, and the client device executes the command.

1. A method comprising:
enrolling a client device with a platform by:
receiving at the platform an enrollment request from a client application of the client device, wherein the enrollment request comprises a request key and device data of the client device;storing the device data in a data block allocated to the client device;generating a device identification, issuing the device identification to the client device, and generating a response to the client device that is a response to the enrollment request and includes the device identification; andcontrolling sessions between the client device and the platform using the device identification, wherein the sessions each use an address convention comprising the device identification, a service identification component that represents a logical active session between the client device and the platform, and a service domain identification component, the address convention comprising a form including device identification@service domain/service identification; receiving from a service application a control command for the client device; accepting the control command on behalf of the client device; in response to the control command, retrieving the device data from the data block instead of receiving the device data directly from the client device, and providing the device data to the service application; and relaying the control command to the client device for execution by the client device.
