MACHINE TO MACHINE SYSTEM, METHOD AND SERVER USING SOCIAL NETWORK SERVICE

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a machine to machine (M2M) system, method and server using a Social Network Service (SNS). The M2M communication server receives control information of a first M2M apparatus from a second M2M apparatus that receives the control information through an SNS interface, converts the control information into a command that is recognizable by the first M2M apparatus, and transmits the command to the first M2M apparatus such that the second M2M apparatus receives information corresponding to the command. Accordingly, a human, as a user, communicates with an M2M apparatus, easily controls the M2M apparatus, and acquires information by use of a Social Network Service (SNS) interface that is familiar to the human.
