[0064] According to the specific structure of the target product, the target product unit and its internal target device sub-unit are adaptively generated in the Internet of Things platform, thereby correspondingly reflecting the specific structure of the target product.

[0065] Step S102, describing the functions of the target product to complete the function definition.

[0066] Preferably, based on the specific structure of the target product, the functions realized by the target product itself and the functions realized by all target devices included in the target product are described to complete the functional definition of each part of the target product.

[0067] Step S103: Develop an interface protocol extension plug-in based on the function definition, extend the first interface protocol template, and generate a second interface protocol template.

[0068] Preferably, the first interface protocol template and the second interface protocol template are both based on the Internet of Things MQTT protocol.

[0069] Step S104, connecting the target product to the corresponding gateway.

[0070] Step S105: Based on the second interface protocol template, the target product is connected to the Internet of Things platform.

[0071] Specifically, the method of connecting the target product to the Internet of Things platform based on the second interface protocol template further includes:

[0072] Get the connection parameters of the target product;

[0073] Generate a protocol instance of the target product based on the second interface protocol template and in combination with the connection parameters of the target product;

[0074] Use the protocol instance of the target product to complete the connection between the target product and the IoT platform.

[0075] According to the unified access configuration method for IoT devices provided in this embodiment, in response to the user's target product addition application, a corresponding target product unit is generated on the IoT platform; based on the target product, a gateway corresponding to the target product is added on the IoT platform; the functions of the target product are described to complete the function definition; based on the function definition, an interface protocol extension plug-in is developed to extend the first interface protocol template and generate a second interface protocol template; the target product is connected to the corresponding gateway; based on the second interface protocol template, the target product is docked with the IoT platform. Through the unified access configuration method for IoT devices provided in this embodiment, by responding to the target product addition application, a corresponding target product unit and a corresponding gateway are generated on the IoT platform, the functions of the target product are defined, and an interface protocol extension plug-in is developed to extend the existing interface protocol template, and the target product is docked with the IoT platform using the updated interface protocol template.

When new products or devices are added to the IoT platform, the gateway connection sequence table is updated. In this way, the network signals of each product and device are guaranteed to be in good condition, and the gateway performance is also well utilized, avoiding the situation where some gateways are overloaded while others are idle, effectively improving the network transmission efficiency, and further improving the user experience.

[0076] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for extending an Internet of Things platform interface protocol according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0077] Step S201, analyzing the function definition of the target product to determine the protocol content that needs to be expanded.

[0078] Step S202, using the Internet of Things MQTT protocol to define the Internet of Things platform interface events, attributes and service specifications, and generate an interface protocol extension plug-in.

[0079] Preferably, the target product is added to the protocol product list of the interface extension protocol;

[0080] Get the protocol plugin template;

[0081] Call the initialization function from the protocol product list, edit the protocol plug-in template based on the function definition of the target product and its corresponding extended protocol content, and generate an interface protocol extension plug-in.

[0082] Preferably, adding the target product to the protocol product list of the interface extension protocol includes: adding the target product to the protocol product list based on the protocol entry function in the product information of the target product; wherein the protocol entry function is used to initialize the protocol plug-in template.

[0083] Preferably, the functional function is used to provide external call function definition.

[0084] Step S203: using the interface protocol extension plug-in, the first interface protocol template is extended to generate a second interface protocol template.

[0085] Preferably, the first interface protocol template is the interface protocol template before the Internet of Things platform adds the target product unit corresponding to the target product; the second interface protocol template is the interface protocol template that is updated accordingly based on the interface protocol extension plug-in after the Internet of Things platform adds the target product unit corresponding to the target product.

[0086] According to the above method, by defining the functions of the target product, a protocol plug-in corresponding to the various functions of the target product is developed based on the MQTT protocol, wherein the function definition of the target product is obtained by using the function function, and then the protocol plug-in template is edited to generate an interface protocol extension plug-in, and finally the content of the relevant product functions is adaptively added to the interface protocol template through the plug-in, thereby completing the update of the protocol in a targeted manner, which is conducive to quickly completing the preparation work for the docking between the product and the platform and improving the efficiency and accuracy of the docking.

[0087] Figure 3 A schematic diagram showing a flow chart of a gateway determination method for an Internet of Things device according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0088] like Figure 3 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0089] Step S301, connecting the target product to the local network.

[0090] Step S302, obtain product information of all products that are already in the IoT platform and connected to the local network, and upload it to the server. The product information includes at least the quantity of products, device status, network signal strength, and connection time.

[0091] Step S303, establishing communication connections between all gateways within a preset range and each product in turn according to a preset time sequence.

[0092] Preferably, taking turns according to a preset time sequence further includes:

[0093] When the network is being configured, that is, when each product is connected to the local network, a sorting time is assigned to it;

[0094] The timing is performed according to the sorting time corresponding to the product. When the sorting time of the current product ends, a verification message is sent to other products connected to the local network. After the other products receive this verification message, the timing is stopped.

[0095] Furthermore, after the timing is stopped, communication connections are established in sequence between the current product and all gateways within a preset range to obtain the current network signal strength and connection time, and update the corresponding product information.

[0096] Preferably, the preset range may be a physical range defined based on the location of the target product, or a logical range defined based on a logical distance of the target product.

[0097] Step S304, the server determines a gateway device and a backup gateway device corresponding to each product based on the updated product information of each product; wherein, the two gateways with the shortest connection time for each product are selected for network signal strength comparison, wherein the gateway with stronger network signal strength is set as the gateway device, and the gateway with weaker network signal strength is set as the backup gateway device.

[0098] Step S305: The server generates a gateway connection sequence table based on the gateway devices and alternative gateway devices corresponding to each product; and based on the gateway connection sequence table, selects the two gateways with the strongest network signal strength among all the current gateways, and uses them as the gateway devices and alternative gateway devices corresponding to the target product in the order of network signal strength.

[0099] Step S306: updating the gateway connection sequence table according to the gateway device and the backup gateway device corresponding to the target product.

[0100] Preferably, the gateway device and the backup gateway device corresponding to the target product are added to the gateway connection sequence table.

[0101] According to the above method, when each product joins the Internet of Things platform, the connection information of each product currently connected to the local network and each gateway can be collected to generate a gateway connection sequence table. According to the network status of the gateways in the table, the gateways with better current network status can be scientifically selected as the gateway devices and backup gateway devices corresponding to the products, thereby ensuring the network status of the target product when it is connected and effectively improving the user experience.

[0102] Figure 4 A schematic diagram showing a process flow of a method for configuring unified access of IoT devices according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown;

[0103] like Figure 4 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0104] Step S401, in response to the user's application for adding a target device, a corresponding new target device sub-unit is generated in the target product unit of the Internet of Things platform.

[0105] Specifically, after the target product has been connected to the Internet of Things platform, if a new target device is set in the target product, a corresponding target device subunit is generated in the target product unit of the Internet of Things platform through a target device addition application.

[0106] Step S402, describing the functions of the target device to complete the function definition.

[0107] Preferably, since the target product has already been connected to the Internet of Things platform, there is no need to build the interface protocol extension plug-in again. It is only necessary to call the function definition of the target device through the function function to update the second interface protocol template.

[0108] Step S403: Connect the target product to the corresponding gateway.

[0109] Step S404: Based on the second interface protocol template, the target product is connected to the Internet of Things platform.

[0110] The connection method between the target product and the gateway, and the docking method with the IoT platform are the same as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0111] According to the above method, when adding a new device to the existing (connected) products on the Internet of Things platform, the new functions implemented by the device can be determined, and by updating the interface protocol template, the structure and function of the product unit in the Internet of Things platform can be quickly updated, which ensures both the update speed and the update accuracy.

[0112] based on Figure 1 and Figure 4 The unified access configuration method for IoT devices shown here shows how to access new products that have not yet been connected to the IoT platform, as well as how to access new devices in products that have already been connected to the IoT platform.
