DISCOVERING CLOUD-BASED SERVICES FOR IOT DEVICES IN AN IOT NETWORK ASSOCIATED WITH A USER

摘要

The disclosure relates to discovering and offering cloud-based services for Internet of Things (IoT) devices in an IoT network. In particular, an IoT gateway or other suitable device can discover information (e.g., device classes) about the IoT devices in the IoT network, discover cloud-based services tagged with the discovered information about the IoT devices, and offer the discovered cloud-based services in the IoT network. Accordingly, in response to receiving a request to invoke a discovered cloud-based service from an IoT device and/or a user associated with the IoT network, the IoT gateway may connect to the appropriate IoT devices to fetch any required data associated with the requested cloud-based services, pass the fetched data to publishers or providers associated with the requested cloud-based services, and return a result from the invoked cloud-based services to the IoT devices in the IoT network.
