Location assistance in a machine to machine instant messaging system

摘要

A cloud computing messaging system for location-based searching for Internet of Things (IoT) devices includes data processors, a receiver, and a transmitter. The system includes a storage medium containing instructions for the processors to receive a communication from a first IoT device connected with the system using a first protocol. The communication includes a location query and is received using the first protocol. The processors determine a second IoT device having a location that matches the location query. The second IoT device is connectable using a second protocol. The processors transmit information to the first IoT device related to the second IoT device and is transmitted using the first protocol. The processors receive a transmission from the first IoT device for the second IoT device using the first protocol, translate the transmission to the second protocol, and transmit the translated transmission to the second IoT device using the second protocol.

主权项

1. A cloud computing network messaging system for facilitating a location-based search for an Internet of Things (IoT) device, the cloud computing network messaging system comprising:
one or more data processors; a receiver; a transmitter; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions which when executed on the one or more data processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
receiving, using the receiver, a communication from a first IoT device, wherein the first IoT device is communicatively connected with the cloud computing network messaging system using a first connection protocol, wherein the communication comprises a location query and a function query, and wherein the communication is received using the first connection protocol;providing a list of a plurality of IoT devices, wherein plurality of IoT devices includes only IoT devices having both a location matching the location query and a function matching the function query;determining a second IoT device from the list of the plurality of IoT devices with which to communicate, the second IoT device having a location and a function, wherein the location matches the location query and the function matches the function query, and wherein the second IoT device is connectable using a second connection protocol;transmitting, using the transmitter, information to the first IoT device, wherein the information is related to the second IoT device, and wherein the information is transmitted using the first connection protocol;receiving a transmission from the first IoT device for the second IoT device using the first connection protocol;translating the transmission from the first connection protocol to the second connection protocol; andtransmitting the translated transmission to the second IoT device using the second connection protocol.
