[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] The present application first proposes a distribution method of multiple Internet of Things gateways, as shown in Figure 1 Figure 1 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a dynamic distribution method of an Internet of Things gateway of the present application. The dynamic distribution method of the present embodiment specifically comprises the following steps:

[0027] Step S11: Obtain device information of terminal devices detected by each Internet of Things gateway; wherein the device information comprises a communication connection mode between the Internet of Things gateways connectable by the terminal device.

[0028] The same terminal device can have multiple communication connection modes at the same time, and the same terminal device can be detected by different Internet of Things gateways. Each Internet of Things gateway detects terminal devices through various wired or wireless modes, broadcast or multicast modes, and obtains terminal device information, which comprises a communication connection mode between the terminal device and the Internet of Things gateway that detects the terminal device, i.e., the Internet of Things gateways connectable by the terminal device.

[0029] An Internet of Things platform, such as a server, obtains device information of terminal devices detected by each Internet of Things gateway from each Internet of Things gateway. The Internet of Things platform records and updates device information of each terminal device and information of the Internet of Things gateways connectable by the terminal device according to the device information of the terminal devices reported by each Internet of Things gateway (including detection and acquisition and terminal devices already connected by itself).

[0030] Step S12: Obtain a communication rate of the communication connection mode of each terminal device.

[0031] The Internet of Things platform obtains a communication rate of the communication connection mode of each terminal device.

[0032] Figure 2 ​​The method shown in the embodiment achieves step S12, and the method in the embodiment includes step S21 and step S22.

[0033] Step S21: For each terminal device, obtain the connection signal strength of the communication connection mode.

[0034] Further, the device information can also include the identification information of the terminal device and the connection signal strength of various communication connection modes thereof.

[0035] The identification information is used to uniquely identify the terminal device. For each terminal device with different identification information, the connection signal strength of the communication connection mode between the terminal device and all connectable Internet of Things gateways is obtained.

[0036] It should be noted that the communication connection mode corresponding to the terminal device includes the communication connection mode between the terminal device and each connectable Internet of Things gateway, which can be the same or different.

[0037] Step S22: Based on the communication connection mode and the connection signal strength, the communication rate of the corresponding communication connection mode is preset.

[0038] The Internet of Things platform grades the signal connection strength of various communication connection modes, and presets or estimates the communication rate under the signal connection strength grading of each communication connection mode (the preset can be based on the simulation test value).

[0039] Step S13: The communication rate is summarized in the corresponding rate interval.

[0040] The speed interval can include a high-speed interval, a medium-speed interval, and a low-speed interval. The Internet of Things platform summarizes the communication rate into three intervals, a high-speed interval higher than a first preset rate, a low-speed interval lower than a second preset rate, and a medium-speed interval in between. Of course, in other embodiments, the speed interval is divided into more intervals.

[0041] Step S14: Based on the rate interval corresponding to the terminal device, an allocated Internet of Things gateway is obtained from the corresponding connectable Internet of Things gateway.

[0042] For each terminal device with different identification information, the Internet of Things platform obtains an allocated Internet of Things gateway from the corresponding connectable Internet of Things gateway based on the rate interval of the communication rate of each communication connection mode corresponding to the terminal device, that is, an Internet of Things gateway is obtained from the connectable Internet of Things gateway based on the speed interval corresponding to the terminal device to allocate the terminal device.

[0043] The embodiment dynamically obtains the actually connectable Internet of Things gateway of the terminal device and the communication rate of the communication connection mode with each connectable Internet of Things gateway, divides the communication rate into intervals, dynamically selects the Internet of Things gateway from the connectable Internet of Things gateway based on the rate interval corresponding to the communication connection mode of the connectable Internet of Things gateway, and allocates the Internet of Things gateway to the terminal device, so as to complete the gateway allocation of the terminal device, balance the gateway allocation of each terminal device, reasonably utilize each Internet of Things gateway, dynamically allocate and adjust the Internet of Things gateway when some or some Internet of Things gateways are abnormal, and improve the stability of the deployment environment of the terminal device and the Internet of Things gateway.

[0044] In other embodiments, the Internet of Things gateway allocated from the connectable Internet of Things gateway corresponding to the terminal device can also be directly obtained based on the communication rate of each communication connection mode corresponding to the terminal device and the plurality of preset rates.

[0045] Optionally, the embodiment can implement step S14 by the method as shown in Figure 3 The method of the embodiment includes steps S41 to S43.

[0046] Step S41: Based on the gateway allocation history record of the terminal device, it is determined whether the connectable Internet of Things gateway of the terminal device has an allocation history record.

[0047] Step S42: If yes, it is determined that the terminal device has been allocated a gateway, and the Internet of Things gateway allocated from the connectable Internet of Things gateway based on the rate interval according to the first allocation strategy is obtained.

[0048] Step S43: If no, it is determined that the terminal device has not been allocated a gateway, and the Internet of Things gateway allocated from the connectable Internet of Things gateway based on the rate interval according to the second allocation strategy is obtained.

[0049] The steps S41 to S43 are introduced together: For each terminal device without different identification information, the Internet of Things platform judges whether the connectable Internet of Things gateway of the terminal device in the current terminal device detection result is included in the allocation history record of the terminal device, that is, whether the connectable Internet of Things gateway has been allocated to the terminal device before; if yes, it is determined that the terminal device has been allocated a gateway, and the Internet of Things gateway allocated from the connectable Internet of Things gateway based on the rate interval according to the first allocation strategy is obtained; if no, it is determined that the terminal device has not been allocated a gateway, and the Internet of Things gateway allocated from the connectable Internet of Things gateway based on the rate interval according to the second allocation strategy is obtained.

[0050] The Internet of Things gateway allocated from the connectable Internet of Things gateway based on the rate interval according to the first allocation strategy can be implemented by the following method:

[0051] If there exists an IoT gateway in the connectable IoT gateways whose speed interval corresponding to the IoT gateway in the allocation history record is greater than the speed interval corresponding to at least one of the other IoT gateways in the connectable IoT gateways, the IoT gateway allocated from the other IoT gateways is obtained based on the speed interval corresponding to the other IoT gateways.

[0052] If there exists an IoT gateway in the connectable IoT gateways whose speed interval corresponding to the IoT gateway in the allocation history record is greater than the speed interval corresponding to at least one of the other IoT gateways in the connectable IoT gateways, the IoT gateway allocated from the other IoT gateways is obtained based on the speed interval corresponding to the other IoT gateways.

[0053] Specifically, if the speed interval corresponding to the other IoT gateways contains only one high-speed interval, the IoT gateway corresponding to the high-speed interval is allocated to the terminal device; if the speed interval corresponding to the other IoT gateways contains at least a plurality of high-speed intervals, the gateway allocation of the terminal device is determined in a balanced allocation manner based on the number of terminal devices currently allocated and the communication rate of the IoT gateway connected to the high-speed interval corresponding to the IoT gateway; if the speed interval corresponding to the other IoT gateways does not contain a high-speed interval, and contains a plurality of medium-speed intervals, that is, the speed interval corresponding to the IoT gateway with a higher communication rate than the previously allocated IoT gateway is a medium-speed interval, the gateway allocation of the terminal device is determined in a balanced allocation manner based on the number of terminal devices currently allocated and the communication rate of the IoT gateway connected to the medium-speed interval corresponding to the IoT gateway.

[0054] The IoT gateway allocated from the connectable IoT gateways based on the speed interval according to the second allocation strategy can be implemented by the following method:

[0055] If the number of connectable IoT gateways is 1, the connectable IoT gateway is allocated to the terminal device.

[0056] If the number of connectable IoT gateways is greater than or equal to 2, it is determined whether the speed intervals corresponding to the connectable IoT gateways are the same; if they are the same, and the speed intervals corresponding to the connectable IoT gateways are all high-speed intervals, the connectable IoT gateways are marked; if they are the same, and the speed intervals corresponding to the connectable IoT gateways are all low-speed intervals, the gateway allocation of the terminal device is based on the communication rate of the low-speed interval; if they are the same, and the speed intervals corresponding to the connectable IoT gateways are all medium-speed intervals, the gateway allocation of the terminal device is determined in a balanced allocation manner based on the number of terminal devices currently allocated and the communication rate of the IoT gateway connected to the medium-speed interval corresponding to the IoT gateway.

[0057] If not, the IoT gateway corresponding to the medium-speed area and the high-speed area is acquired. Specifically, if not, and the number of high-speed areas is 1, the IoT gateway corresponding to the high-speed area is allocated to the terminal device; if not, and the number of high-speed areas is greater than 1, the IoT gateways corresponding to the high-speed areas are marked.

[0058] Further, after marking the IoT gateways corresponding to the high-speed areas, the IoT platform determines the gateway allocation of the terminal device in a balanced allocation manner based on the number of connected terminal devices and the communication rate of the IoT gateways corresponding to the high-speed areas.

[0059] In the above manner, the dynamic allocation of the IoT gateway of the terminal device can be realized, and the communication rate, balanced allocation and other parameters are considered, so that the stability of the deployment environment of the terminal device and the IoT gateway can be improved.

[0060] The application further proposes a dynamic allocation method of the IoT gateway of another embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 Figure 4 is a flowchart of the dynamic allocation method of the IoT gateway of another embodiment of the application. The dynamic allocation method of the embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0061] Step S51: periodically issuing control signaling to the IoT gateway to enable the IoT gateway to periodically probe the mobile terminal.

[0062] The IoT platform periodically issues control signaling to the IoT gateway to enable the IoT gateway to periodically probe the mobile terminal. Each IoT gateway reports the device information of the terminal device acquired and the information of the terminal device currently connected to itself to the IoT platform.

[0063] Step S52: acquiring the device information of the terminal device probed by each IoT gateway; wherein the device information includes the communication connection mode between the IoT gateways connectable by the terminal device.

[0064] The specific implementation can refer to the above embodiment.

[0065] Step S53: acquiring the communication rate of the communication connection mode of each terminal device.

[0066] The specific implementation can refer to the above embodiment.

[0067] Step S54: classifying the communication rate into corresponding rate intervals.

[0068] The specific implementation can refer to the above embodiment.

[0069] Step S55: acquiring the allocated IoT gateway from the corresponding connectable IoT gateways based on the rate interval corresponding to the terminal device.​

[0070] The specific implementation can refer to the above examples.

[0071] Step S56: The assigned Internet of Things gateway distribution information is issued to the corresponding Internet of Things gateway, so that the Internet of Things gateway connects the corresponding terminal device based on the gateway distribution information.

[0072] The Internet of Things platform issues the terminal device distribution information to each Internet of Things gateway, and each Internet of Things gateway connects the corresponding terminal device according to the distribution information.

[0073] The application further provides a communication system, as shown in Figure 5 Figure 5 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the communication system of the application. The communication system of the embodiment comprises a plurality of terminal devices 61, a plurality of Internet of Things gateways 62 and a server 63; wherein the Internet of Things gateway 62 is connected with the server 63.

[0074] The server 63, as an Internet of Things platform, acquires the device information of the terminal devices detected by each Internet of Things gateway; wherein the device information comprises the communication connection mode between the Internet of Things gateways connectable by the terminal device; and acquires the communication rate of the communication connection mode of each terminal device, and acquires the assigned Internet of Things gateway from the corresponding connectable Internet of Things gateways based on the corresponding communication rate of the terminal device.

[0075] The communication system of the embodiment is also used to realize the gateway distribution of the terminal device by using the above-mentioned dynamic distribution method.

[0076] The terminal device can comprise a temperature and humidity sensor, a network camera, a smart socket, an infrared remote controller and a smart switch, etc.

[0077] As shown in Figure 6 ​As shown in the figure, the Internet of Things platform determines whether all the connectable Internet of Things gateways discovered by the detection are included in the previously allocated Internet of Things gateways. If not, the unallocated Internet of Things gateways are allocated to the terminal devices according to the above-mentioned embodiments. If yes, it is determined whether the rate intervals are all less than or equal to the rate intervals corresponding to the previously allocated Internet of Things gateways. If yes, the original allocated gateways are maintained without adjustment. If not, it is determined that there is a higher rate interval than the rate interval corresponding to the previously allocated Internet of Things gateways, and it is determined whether there is a high-speed zone. If there is no high-speed zone, it is determined that the rate intervals corresponding to the Internet of Things gateways higher than the rate interval corresponding to the previously allocated Internet of Things gateways are all medium-speed zones, and the gateway allocation of the terminal devices is determined according to the balanced allocation mode based on the number of connected terminal devices and the communication rate of the medium-speed zone corresponding Internet of Things gateways. If there is more than one high-speed zone, corresponding marks are made, and the gateway allocation of the terminal devices is determined according to the balanced allocation mode based on the number of connected terminal devices and the communication rate of the medium-speed zone corresponding Internet of Things gateways. If there is only one high-speed zone, the Internet of Things gateway corresponding to the high-speed zone is allocated to the terminal device.

[0078] As shown in the figure, Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the Internet of Things platform determines whether all the connectable Internet of Things gateways discovered by the detection are included in the previously allocated Internet of Things gateways. If not, the unallocated Internet of Things gateways are allocated to the terminal devices according to the above-mentioned embodiments. If yes, it is determined whether the rate intervals are all less than or equal to the rate intervals corresponding to the previously allocated Internet of Things gateways. If yes, the original allocated gateways are maintained without adjustment. If not, it is determined that there is a higher rate interval than the rate interval corresponding to the previously allocated Internet of Things gateways, and it is determined whether there is a high-speed zone. If there is no high-speed zone, it is determined that the rate intervals corresponding to the Internet of Things gateways higher than the rate interval corresponding to the previously allocated Internet of Things gateways are all medium-speed zones, and the gateway allocation of the terminal devices is determined according to the balanced allocation mode based on the number of connected terminal devices and the communication rate of the medium-speed zone corresponding Internet of Things gateways. If there is more than one high-speed zone, corresponding marks are made, and the gateway allocation of the terminal devices is determined according to the balanced allocation mode based on the number of connected terminal devices and the communication rate of the medium-speed zone corresponding Internet of Things gateways. If there is only one high-speed zone, the Internet of Things gateway corresponding to the high-speed zone is allocated to the terminal device.
