[0073] The inventor found that the value of data of the Internet of Things devices is not only reflected in its direct economic benefits, but sometimes also often reflected in its indirect impact on the enterprise's innovation ability, market competitiveness, and the practicality of the Internet of Things devices.

[0074] Therefore, in order to more accurately evaluate the value of data of the Internet of Things devices, the technical solution of this application is proposed.

[0101] Medical Internet of Things devices include:

[0102] Smart cardiac pacemaker: It can monitor the heart condition in real time.

[0103] Remote healthcare devices: Such as smart mattresses, which can monitor the vital signs of patients.

[0104] In this application, multiple Internet of Things devices can form an Internet of Things device cluster, and subsequently, Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster can be updated according to actual situations. For example, adding Internet of Things devices, replacing Internet of Things devices, or reducing Internet of Things devices, etc.

[0105] The time periods in this application can be divided by natural days. One natural day is one time period, or two natural days are one time period, etc. The time period where the current moment is located is the current time period, and the future time period is after the current time period.

[0106] The future time period can be a manually specified time period, etc.

[0107] In this application, the estimated number of Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period can be estimated based on a device growth model. Specifically, the future time period is input into a pre-fitted device growth model so that the device growth model obtains the estimated number of Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster in the future time period and outputs the estimated number of Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster in the future time period; the electronic device can obtain the estimated number of Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster in the future time period output by the device growth model.

[0108] Among them, the device growth model is obtained by fitting through a loss function based on a historical data set, and the historical data set includes each historical time period and the historical number of Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster at each historical time period.

[0109] The data fitting method can adopt the existing data fitting methods, and this application does not limit this. The loss function can include loss functions such as mean squared error, and this application does not limit this.

[0110] Among them, estimating the estimated number of Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period based on the device growth model includes:

[0111] The estimated number of Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period can be estimated based on the following formula.

[0112]

[0113] Among them, the above formula is the device growth model, and N t is the estimated number of Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster within a future time period. Both m, q, and p are parameters obtained by fitting in the device growth model, and t is the second sum value between the numerical value 1 and the number of intervals; the number of intervals is the number of intervals of the time period between the current time period where the current moment is located and the future time period.

[0114] Further, when the current moment reaches the future time period, obtain the actual number of Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster within the future time period.

[0115] When the actual number is different from the estimated number, optimize the device growth model according to the future time period, the estimated number, and the actual number through a loss function.

[0116] Alternatively, when the actual number is the same as the estimated number, there is no need to optimize the device growth model.

[0117] In step S102, obtain the online rate of the Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster within the future time period.

[0118] In this application, the online rate of the Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster can be an empirical value, which is related to the expected lifespan of each Internet of Things device in the Internet of Things device cluster. The starting moments when each Internet of Things device starts working in the Internet of Things device cluster are different, and the expected lifespans (the duration that can work continuously) of each Internet of Things device in the Internet of Things device cluster are different. Therefore, the ending moments when each Internet of Things device ends working in the Internet of Things device cluster are different. Thus, in any time period, some Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster may have stopped working.

[0119] Among them, the ratio between the number of still working Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster within the future time period and the total number of Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster within the future time period can be regarded as the online rate of the Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster within the future time period.

[0120] In step S103, obtain the data revenue of a single Internet of Things device in the Internet of Things device cluster within the future time period.

[0121] In an embodiment of this application, the data revenue of a single Internet of Things device within a time period can be approximately regarded as a constant (obtained according to historical statistical analysis).

[0122] Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present application, or, in advance, a revenue model can also be fitted according to the historical data revenue of a single Internet of Things device in different historical time periods. The data fitting method can refer to the existing methods, and the present application does not limit this. Moreover, the structure of the revenue model can be an existing model, and the present application does not limit the parameters in the revenue model and the calculation method between the parameters.

[0123] In this way, the data revenue of a single Internet of Things device in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period can be obtained based on the revenue model. Specifically, the future time period is input into the pre-fitted revenue model, so that the revenue model obtains the data revenue of a single Internet of Things device in the Internet of Things device cluster in the future time period, and outputs the data revenue of a single Internet of Things device in the Internet of Things device cluster in the future time period; the electronic device can obtain the data revenue of a single Internet of Things device in the Internet of Things device cluster in the future time period output by the revenue model.

[0124] In step S104, obtain the device cost of a single Internet of Things device in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period.

[0125] In one embodiment of the present application, the device cost of a single Internet of Things device in a time period can be approximately regarded as a constant (obtained according to historical statistical analysis).

[0126] Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present application, or, in advance, a cost model can also be fitted according to the historical device costs of a single Internet of Things device in different historical time periods. The data fitting method can refer to the existing methods, and the present application does not limit this. Moreover, the structure of the cost model can be an existing model, and the present application does not limit the parameters in the cost model and the calculation method between the parameters.

[0127] In this way, the device cost of a single Internet of Things device in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period can be obtained based on the cost model. Specifically, the future time period is input into the pre-fitted cost model, so that the cost model obtains the device cost of a single Internet of Things device in the Internet of Things device cluster in the future time period, and outputs the device cost of a single Internet of Things device in the Internet of Things device cluster in the future time period; the electronic device can obtain the device cost of a single Internet of Things device in the Internet of Things device cluster in the future time period output by the cost model.

[0128] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the execution order among step S101, step S102, step S103, and step S104.

[0129] In step S105, estimate the value of the data of the Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period based on at least the estimated quantity, the online rate, the data revenue, and the device cost.

[0130] In an embodiment of the present application, the difference between the data revenue and the device cost may be calculated, the first product between the difference and the estimated quantity may be calculated, the second product between the product and the online rate may be calculated, and then the value of the data of the Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period is obtained based on at least the second product.

[0131] Wherein, when obtaining the value of the data of the Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period based on at least the second product, the number of intervals of the time period between the current time period where the current moment is located and the future time period may be obtained. For example, assuming that the time period in the present application is distinguished by natural days, that is, a time period is a natural day, assuming that the current time period where the current location is located is January 1st and the future time period is January 5th, then there are 4 natural days between January 1st and January 5th. Calculate the first sum value between the numerical value 1 and the capital interest rate (such as the bank deposit interest rate, etc., which may be the current interest rate or the fixed interest rate, etc.). Calculate the second sum value between the numerical value 1 and the number of intervals. Calculate the power of the second sum value of the first sum value. Calculate the ratio between the second product and the power of the second sum value of the first sum value, and obtain the value of the data of the Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period according to the ratio. For example, determine the ratio as the value of the data of the Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period.

[0132] In an example, the value evaluation model may be reflected by the following formula:

[0133]

[0134] Wherein, V is the value of the data of the Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period, R t is the data revenue of a single Internet of Things device in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period, C t is the device cost of a single Internet of Things device in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period, N t is the estimated quantity of the Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period, d is the capital interest rate, t is the second sum value between the numerical value 1 and the number of intervals; the number of intervals is the number of intervals of the time period between the current time period where the current moment is located and the future time period, r t is the online rate of the Internet of Things devices in the Internet of Things device cluster in a future time period.

[0135] In this application, estimate the estimated number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the IoT device cluster within a future time period. Obtain the online rate of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster within the future time period. Obtain the data revenue of a single IoT device in the IoT device cluster within the future time period. Obtain the device cost of a single IoT device in the IoT device cluster within the future time period. Estimate the value of the data of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster within the future time period based at least on the estimated number, the online rate, the data revenue, and the device cost.

[0136] The method for evaluating the value of the data of the IoT devices in this application is applicable to the field of the Internet of Things and related fields. The value of the data of the IoT devices evaluated based on the method for evaluating the value of the data of the IoT devices in this application is objective and accurate, which helps to standardize the standards and guidelines for the industry of evaluating the value of the data of the IoT devices, and further helps to standardize the standards and guidelines for the industry of evaluating the value of data assets.

[0137] Secondly, this application uses a growth evaluation model that combines a device growth model and a value evaluation model to evaluate the value of the data of the IoT devices, fully considering the particularity of the data of the IoT devices, so as to evaluate the value of the data of the IoT devices more comprehensively and accurately, enhance the objectivity of the evaluation results, and provide new ideas and methods for the theory of evaluating the value of the data of the IoT devices.

[0138] In another embodiment of this application, there are multiple future time periods, and the multiple future time periods can be consecutive time periods in sequence. Then, the value of the data of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster within each future time period can be estimated respectively in the above manner, and then the values of the data of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster within each future time period are summed to obtain the total value of the data of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster within the multiple future time periods.

[0139] Furthermore, in another embodiment of this application, after obtaining the value of the data of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster within the future time period, it is next necessary to strip out the value of the combined intangible assets therefrom.

[0140] For example, the value of the data of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster within the future time period is: the sum of the tangible assets of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster and the value of the combined intangible assets of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster. The tangible assets account for a certain proportion in the overall value of the enterprise, and this proportion can be determined by financial experts according to the actual situation of the enterprise, and is often relatively accurate. The product of this proportion and the value of the data of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster within the future time period can be calculated to obtain the tangible assets of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster.

[0141] After that, further, the difference between the value of the data of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster and the tangible assets of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster within a future time period can be calculated, and the combined intangible asset value of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster can be obtained.

[0142] Further, in another embodiment of the present application, the asset discount rate of the value of the data of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster within a future time period can be measured by using the analytic hierarchy process.

[0143] For example, first, a structural model is constructed according to the combined intangible asset value of the IoT devices in the IoT device cluster calculated as described above. The structural model includes: decision-making purpose - goal layer, judgment criteria - criterion layer, and solution - solution layer.

[0144] Secondly, a questionnaire is designed according to the constructed structural model, and experts in the field of asset value assessment are invited to assign relative weights to the factors. The introduction of expert scoring and sensitivity analysis reduces subjectivity in the process and makes the results more objective.

[0145] In addition, the questionnaire results are integrated, a matrix is constructed, and a consistency test is carried out.
