摘要

A method of providing context-aware services using Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, the method comprising obtaining data from an M2M device; creating an M2M resource; storing the data as content in the M2M resource; storing, in the M2M resource, a semantic description attribute of the content stored in the M2M resource and a reference attribute to a semantic description of the M2M resource; and providing the M2M resource for use by at least one of a service capability layer (SCL) and an application to perform content-based semantic functionalities based on the semantic description included in the M2M resource.
