[0001] This invention relates to the field of software technology, and in particular to a cloud monitoring method and apparatus for devices. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of intelligence and information technology, the number and types of related equipment are also constantly increasing. In order to better supervise these devices, cloud computing has become an inevitable trend.

[0003] In existing technologies, the primary approach is to provide SDKs (Software Development Kits) from mainstream cloud vendors that are compatible with cloud services, allowing users to integrate these SDKs through secondary development to complete device cloud operations. However, this method requires users to integrate the SDKs themselves, resulting in poor compatibility. Furthermore, for private cloud users, in addition to development work, they also need to maintain two separate technical approaches: cloud-native and device access monitoring, increasing R&D costs. Therefore, proposing a method that allows devices to access the cloud independently of cloud vendor SDKs and improves the compatibility of device monitoring is particularly important.

[0114] Calculate the variance of the operating parameters between the first operating parameter and the second operating parameter, and the variance of the environmental parameters between the first environmental parameter and the second environmental parameter, respectively.

[0115] Based on the variance of working parameters, the variance of environmental parameters, and the node ranking of the equipment control point, analyze the impact of changes in the working state of the equipment control point on the control of other equipment control nodes, and determine whether the control impact is greater than or equal to the preset control impact threshold. If so, determine that the current state of the equipment control point needs to be changed to the target state.

[0116] In this optional embodiment, the operating parameters and environmental parameters can be a single parameter or a set of parameters. The control influence can include the influence on the status of other device control points or the influence on the parameters of other device control points.

[0132] The acquisition module 301 is used to acquire basic information of the device to be monitored, including static and dynamic information of the device to be monitored.

[0133] Abstract module 302 is used to abstract the device to be monitored into a virtual device based on the basic information of the device to be monitored, and store the virtual device in the cloud storage.

[0134] The generation module 303 is used to generate device control instructions based on the status information of the virtual device, and to monitor and control the virtual device according to the device control instructions.

[0135] It is evident that implementation Figure 3 The cloud monitoring device described can acquire basic information about the device to be monitored, abstract the device into a virtual device based on the basic information, store the virtual device in the cloud storage, generate device control instructions based on the status information of the virtual device, and monitor and control the virtual device according to the device control instructions. It can realize the device to the cloud without relying on the cloud vendor's SDK, and improve the efficiency and reliability of unified device management, while reducing the investment in device management.

[0136] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the abstraction module abstracts the device to be monitored into a virtual device based on the basic information of the device to be monitored in the following specific ways:

[0137] The static information of the equipment to be regulated is described to obtain static information resources. The static information includes the name information and / or attribute information and / or model information and / or protocol information of the equipment to be regulated.

[0138] The dynamic information of the equipment to be monitored is described to obtain dynamic information resources, which include the status information of the equipment to be monitored.

[0139] Static and dynamic information resources are organized into resources with a preset data format, and the equipment to be monitored is abstracted into virtual devices based on the resources organized into the preset data format.

[0140] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The cloud-based monitoring device described above can perform resource description on the static information of the monitored device to obtain static information resources, and perform resource description on the dynamic information of the monitored device to obtain dynamic information resources. It then organizes the static and dynamic information resources into resources in a preset data format. Based on the resources organized into the preset data format, it abstracts the monitored device into a virtual device. It can refine the basic information of the monitored device before performing resource description, which improves the accuracy and reliability of the obtained virtual device, thereby improving the precision and efficiency of monitoring and controlling the monitored device.

[0141] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the generation module generates device control commands based on the virtual device's status information, and the specific methods for monitoring and controlling the virtual device based on these commands include:

[0142] Obtain the device control points of the virtual device, which include the function control points of the virtual device;

[0143] Monitor the status information of the equipment control points, including the desired status and the current status;

[0144] When the current state of the device control point is detected to be inconsistent with the expected state, a device control command is generated based on the state information.

[0145] Adjust the current state of the equipment control point according to the equipment control command until the current state of the equipment control point matches the desired state.

Based on this information, it abstracts the device into a virtual device and stores it in a cloud storage system. This improves the accuracy of controlling the monitored device. It acquires the device control points of the virtual device, monitors their status, and when a mismatch is detected between the current and desired states, it generates control commands based on the status information. The device then adjusts the current state of the control points according to these commands until they match the desired state. This ensures that the current and desired states of the virtual device match, and it adjusts controls to address any mismatches, improving the accuracy and reliability of virtual device control while maintaining flexibility.

[0147] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cloud monitoring device for this equipment may also include:

[0153] The calculation module 305 is used to calculate the working parameter variance between the first working parameter and the second working parameter, and the environmental parameter variance between the first environmental parameter and the second environmental parameter, respectively.

[0154] The analysis module 306 is used to analyze the impact of changes in the working state of the equipment control point on the control of other equipment control nodes based on the variance of the working parameters, the variance of the environmental parameters, and the node ranking of the equipment control point. It also determines whether the control impact is greater than or equal to the preset control impact threshold. If so, it determines that the current state of the equipment control point needs to be changed to the target state.

[0155] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The cloud monitoring device for the described equipment can acquire the first operating parameters, the first environmental parameters, and the node ranking of the equipment control point when it is in the target state, as well as the second operating parameters and the second environmental parameters when it is in the current state. It calculates the variance of the operating parameters between the first and second operating parameters, and the variance of the environmental parameters between the first and second environmental parameters. Based on the variances of the operating parameters, the environmental parameters, and the node ranking of the equipment control point, it analyzes the control impact of the change in the operating state of the equipment control point on other equipment control nodes.

The processing operation includes update operation and / or deletion operation.

[0159] It is evident that implementation Figure 4The cloud monitoring device described can add device tags to virtual devices. When it detects that a processing operation is performed on a virtual device, it changes the status information of other virtual devices connected to the virtual device and the corresponding processing operation through the device tag and the processing operation. This ensures that when a virtual device is changed, the associated virtual devices are changed accordingly, improving the overall control of the controlled device and the efficiency of controlling the controlled device.

[0160] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the module 308 detects a processing operation being performed on a virtual device, the specific methods by which it changes the status information of other virtual devices connected to the virtual device and the corresponding processing operation through tags and processing operations include:

[0161] Determine the first device sub-label and the second device sub-label of the virtual device. The first device sub-label includes the connection relationship between the device control point of the virtual device and the device control point of other virtual devices. The second device sub-label includes the connection relationship between multiple device control points of the virtual device.

[0162] When a specified device control point in a virtual device is detected to be updated, the status information of the device control points of other virtual devices is updated according to the first device sub-tag, and the status information of the device control points in the virtual device connected to the specified device control point is updated according to the second device sub-tag.

[0163] When the deletion of a specified device control point in a virtual device is detected, the connection between the device control points of other virtual devices and the specified device control point is deleted according to the first device sub-tag, and the connection between the device control points in the virtual device and the specified device control point is deleted according to the second device sub-tag.

[0164] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The cloud monitoring device described can perform corresponding processing operations on other virtual devices or other device control points based on the first and second sub-tags of the virtual device when processing virtual devices. This improves the overall control of the controlled device and also increases the efficiency of controlling the controlled device.
