Method and device for group management in machine communication

Abstract

The present invention provides a method and device for group management in machine communication, so as to improve the flexibility for users to create and use M2M groups. The method for group management in machine-to-machine communication includes: receiving a group creation request sent by a requesting device, wherein the group creation request includes a group type for requesting to create a group; checking whether the member type of the members in the group matches the group type consistency, setting the consistency check flag of the group according to the consistency check result; and returning a group creation response containing the consistency check result to the requesting device. By setting the consistency check identifier of the group and notifying the requesting device of the one-time identifier in the group creation response, the creation of the group will not fail due to type checking, etc., which greatly improves the flexibility of the user to use the M2M technology sex.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of information technology, in particular to a method and device for group management in machine communication. Background technique [0002] Machine-to-Machine Communications (M2M) is a networked application and service centered on machine intelligent interaction. By embedding wireless or wired communication modules and application processing logic inside the machine, it realizes the user's information requirements for monitoring, command and dispatch, data collection and measurement. In the M2M system, various M2M devices, such as various sensors, are directly connected to the M2M service platform through the M2M gateway. So as to realize various M2M services, such as electricity meter reading, intelligent transportation and so on. Through the service capabilities provided by the M2M service platform, data collected by M2M devices can be obtained, or M2M devices can be controlled and managed. [0003] There are m...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the prior art, M2M services often need to perform group operations on a group of devices of the same type at the same time, and do not want other types of members to be included in the group. The group server receives a group creation request or an update group request , check the type of members in the group accordingly, if the check fails, it will directly cause the failure of creating or updating the group

Since there are many conditions that can cause the check to fail, for example a device that is a member of the group may be dormant and cannot be checked

Therefore, the possibility of creating or updating a group is very high, which seriously restricts the flexibility of users
