DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of one or more embodiments of this specification clearer, the technical solutions of one or more embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of this specification and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this specification, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this description, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of one or more embodiments of this specification.

[0013] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this specification are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0014] In the prior art, the management of IoT devices is usually done by each service provider managing its own business. For example, the manufacturer of IoT devices manages the production information of IoT devices; the operator who operates and manages IoT devices manages the operation information of IoT devices. The information of IoT devices is scattered among various service providers, making it impossible to effectively process IoT devices.

[0015] In order to solve the defects in the prior art, this solution provides the following embodiments: Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an application scenario of an information processing method for an Internet of Things device in an embodiment of this specification. Figure 1 As shown, the scheme may include a service provider 1, a server 2, and a blockchain system 3. Among them, the service provider 1 may be various service providers related to the IoT device, such as manufacturers that produce IoT devices, service providers that operate IoT devices, merchants that use IoT devices, and the like. In the embodiment of this specification, the server 2 may obtain the device status information of the IoT device provided by the service provider 1, such as the device usage status information, the device deployment status information, and the like, and save the device status information provided by the service provider to the blockchain system 3. The blockchain system 3 may save the device status information provided by the service provider. The server 2 may also obtain the actual status information of the IoT device, such as the actual location information of the IoT device, the actual processing business type information, and the like, and may process the IoT device based on the actual status information and the device status information saved in the blockchain system. Next, an information processing method for an Internet of Things device provided in an embodiment of the specification will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings: Figure 2 The following is a flow chart of an information processing method for an IoT device provided in an embodiment of the present specification. From a program perspective, the execution subject of the process can be a program installed on an application server or an application client.

[0016] like Figure 2 As shown, the process may include the following steps: Step 202: Obtain device status information of the IoT device provided by the service provider.

[0017] The Internet of Things is the combination of objects and the Internet, forming an Internet where objects are connected to each other. Through some sensing devices, such as positioning systems, sensors, etc., objects are connected to the Internet of Things according to certain service agreements. Common IoT devices can include identification with functions such as sensors, device identification, and communication, which can connect to the network and transmit data. For example, smart TVs, smart speakers, smart toys, wearable devices, smart appliances, etc., smart locks, smart thermostats, smart lighting equipment, monitoring equipment, etc., and payment terminals, business self-service terminals, etc.

[0018] The service provider may be a service provider related to the IoT device, for example, a manufacturer of the IoT device, a transporter of the IoT device, a user of the IoT device, etc. The device status information may be information related to the device status of the IoT, such as production status information, transportation status information, operation status information, and other information related to the entire life cycle of the IoT device.

[0019] Step 204: Save the device status information to the blockchain system.

[0020] In the embodiments of this specification, the device status information of the IoT device provided by the service provider can be saved to the blockchain system, and the blockchain system can be used to ensure the credibility and traceability of the information.

[0021] Step 206: After the device status information is saved in the blockchain system, the actual status information of the IoT device is obtained.

[0022] The actual status information of the IoT device may be the actual status information of the IoT obtained by a method other than the service provider providing the device status information after the device status information provided by the service provider is saved in the blockchain system. For example, for the transportation information of the IoT device, the actual transportation information of the IoT device may be further determined by receiving the delivery information provided by the operator of the IoT device; the server may send some instructions for detecting the status of the IoT device to the IoT device to determine whether the IoT device is in use, and so on.

[0023] Step 208: Process the IoT device based on the actual status information and the device status information stored in the blockchain system.

[0024] In the embodiments of this specification, it is possible to determine whether the device status information provided by the service provider is incorrect based on the actual status information of the IoT device, and then process the IoT device.

[0025] It should be understood that the order of some steps in the methods described in one or more embodiments of this specification can be interchanged according to actual needs, or some steps can be omitted or deleted.

[0026] Figure 2 The method in the method can save the device status information of the IoT device provided by the service provider related to the IoT device to the blockchain system, and can also obtain the actual status information of the IoT device, and then process the IoT device based on the actual status information and the device status information saved in the blockchain system. Among them, the blockchain system can uniformly save the device status information provided by the service provider, realize the unified control and standardized management of the IoT devices, and can also ensure the asset security of the IoT devices based on the actual status information of the IoT devices obtained.

[0027] based on Figure 2 The method, the examples of this specification also provide some specific implementation plans of the method, which are described below.

[0028] Optionally, the processing of the IoT device based on the actual status information and the device status information stored in the blockchain system in the embodiments of this specification may specifically include: Determine whether the actual status information is consistent with the device status information stored in the blockchain system, and obtain a determination result; Based on the judgment result, the Internet of Things device is processed.

[0029] In actual applications, the device status information of the IoT device provided by the service provider may be incorrect, or the service provider may not provide updated status information in a timely manner after the status of the IoT device changes. As a result, the actual status information of the IoT device may be inconsistent with the device status information stored in the blockchain system. In the embodiments of this specification, the IoT device can be processed by determining whether the actual status information of the IoT device is consistent with the device status information provided by the service provider in the blockchain system.

[0030] In actual applications, the service provider can send the device status information of the IoT device to the server through the service terminal. The service terminal can be equipped with terminal applications such as applications and applets that can send the device status information of the IoT device to the server. The terminal application can be a terminal application managed by the server, such as a applet installed in the application corresponding to the server; it can also be a terminal application managed by the service provider itself, and the terminal application can interact with the server through an agreed program interface. For example, the manufacturer's production management platform can communicate with the server, and the manufacturer can send the device production information of the IoT device to the server through the production management platform, or send the device production information of the IoT device to the server through the application corresponding to the server. The IoT device can also be equipped with an application that can provide device status information to the server, and the service provider can also provide device status information to the server through the IoT device. The specific method can be set according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited here.

[0031] The processing of IoT devices in the embodiments of this specification may include processing of the IoT devices themselves, such as permission management of IoT devices, management of system, business and other device software installed in the devices, etc.; it may also include processing of the service providers corresponding to the IoT devices, such as identifying the risks of the service providers, limiting the service providers' use of IoT devices, etc.

[0032] In the embodiment of this specification, the device status information of the Internet of Things device provided by the service provider may include device status information of multiple Internet of Things devices; wherein, the processing of the Internet of Things device based on the judgment result may specifically include: Determine the number of IoT devices whose actual status information in each IoT device is inconsistent with the device status information in the blockchain system; Based on the quantity, determine the abnormality rate of the IoT device corresponding to the service provider; When the abnormal rate of the Internet of Things device is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the Internet of Things device is processed.

[0033] In actual applications, the same service provider can correspond to multiple IoT devices, and the server can save the device status information of multiple IoT devices provided by the service provider to the blockchain system. Among them, the IoT device whose actual status information is inconsistent with the device status information stored in the blockchain system can be determined as an abnormal device, and the abnormal rate of the IoT device corresponding to the service provider can be determined based on the data of the abnormal device and the number of multiple IoT devices corresponding to the service provider. For example, the number of abnormal devices in the IoT devices related to the service provider is a, and the number of IoT devices related to the service provider is b. The abnormal rate of the IoT device can be determined based on the ratio of a to b. Among them, when the abnormal rate of the IoT device is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the IoT device can be processed, for example, the operating authority of the IoT device is re-determined, the risk assessment of the service provider corresponding to the IoT device is performed, and the business relationship with the service provider corresponding to the IoT device is terminated, etc.

[0034] In practical applications, abnormal IoT devices may be processed, wherein the processing of the IoT devices may specifically include: Determine an IoT device whose actual standby status information in the IoT device is inconsistent with the device status information in the blockchain system as an abnormal device; The service provider's service authority for the abnormal device is revoked.

[0035] In the embodiments of this specification, the service provider may include an operator with the right to operate the IoT device, for example, an operator of the IoT device in a certain area, which can distribute the IoT device to various users in the area under its jurisdiction; it may also include a user with the right to use the IoT device, for example, a shopping mall or business place that uses the IoT device. The service provider may send information such as the distribution and usage of the IoT device to the server, and the blockchain system may store various information provided by the service provider.

[0036] Among them, if it is determined that the actual status information of the IoT device is inconsistent with the device status information provided by the service provider, the IoT device can be determined as an abnormal device, that is, the information of the IoT device provided by the service provider is incorrect, and the service provider's rights to use, govern, and benefit from the abnormal device can be revoked. For example, the operator has placed payment devices in three stores respectively. Assume that the location information of the stores provided by the operator is c, d, and e, but through the business information processed by the payment device or the positioning information of the payment device itself, it is determined that the actual location of the payment device at c is in the store at f. It can be determined that the operator did not actually place the payment device in the store at c, and the information provided by the operator is incorrect, and the operator's jurisdiction over the payment device at f can be revoked.

[0037] In actual applications, there may be situations where the user of the IoT device changes the location of the IoT device or stops using the IoT device on his own, and the operator cannot be informed of the user's situation in a timely manner. In the embodiments of this specification, after an abnormal device is identified, a prompt message indicating that the IoT device information is abnormal can be sent to the service provider so that the service provider can promptly check the actual status of the IoT device under its jurisdiction. When there is a problem, the service provider can promptly discover the problem and correct it, and can also promptly update the device status information stored in the blockchain system.

[0038] Optionally, the method in the embodiments of this specification may further include: If the judgment result indicates that the actual status information of the IoT device is inconsistent with the device status information stored in the blockchain system, a prompt message is sent to the service provider to prompt the service provider to provide the latest status information of the IoT device.

[0039] Among them, the prompt information may include the device identification of the IoT device, such as the device name, device ID, etc., and may also include an information identification indicating status information that needs to be updated, which is used to prompt the service provider which status information of the IoT device needs to be updated, so that the service provider can complete the information update in a targeted manner and improve the efficiency of information updating.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present specification, the device status information of the abnormal device is obtained from the blockchain system within a preset time period after the prompt information is sent, and it is determined whether the service party has completed the information update within the preset time according to the prompt information. If the service party has not completed the update or the update is incorrect, a second reminder can be given, or the service party's service authority for the Internet of Things device can be revoked.

[0041] In order to provide the service quality of the service provider and enable the IoT device to better serve the user, the method in the embodiment of this specification may also include: Based on the actual status information and the device status information stored in the blockchain system, a risk assessment is performed on the service provider; and / or, Based on the actual status information and the device status information stored in the blockchain system, the reward resources of the service provider are determined.

[0042] In actual applications, the actual status information of the IoT device and the device status information of the IoT device provided by the service provider can reflect the service capability of the service provider. For example, if there is or there is a lot of information inconsistent with the actual status information in the device status information of the IoT device provided by the service provider, it can be determined that the service capability of the service provider is limited and there may be risks. For example, for a manufacturer of IoT devices, if the device status information provided by the manufacturer is that the production of the IoT device has been completed and the physical device has been delivered to the transporter for transportation, but the information obtained from the transporter is that the manufacturer did not deliver the IoT device to the transporter as agreed, it can be determined that the manufacturer did not complete the production of the device as agreed, and the production capacity of the manufacturer may be at risk; for another example, assuming that the IoT device is a device with payment capabilities, an operator in a certain area will lay the IoT device in multiple consumer places, and provide the information of the consumer places where the IoT device is located to the server so that the information can be saved in the blockchain system. Assuming that the actual location information of the IoT device determined by the payment business processed by the IoT device is different from the location information of the IoT device saved in the blockchain system, it can be determined that the information provided by the operator is incorrect, the operator may not accurately manage the use of the device, and the operator may not be able to accurately manage the risk of the device.

[0043] In the embodiments of this specification, different risk assessment strategies can be used for different service providers based on the actual status information of the IoT device and the device status information stored in the blockchain system. The specific risk assessment strategy can be set according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited here.

[0044] In actual applications, if the actual status information of the IoT device is consistent or mostly consistent with the device status information provided by the service provider in the blockchain system, it can be determined that the service provider has good service capabilities and reward resources can be issued to the service provider. Among them, reward resources can be preferential rewards, monetary rewards, device permission rewards, etc. For example, for a payment device, the actual location information, business processing information, etc. of the payment device are consistent with the location information and business processing information of the payment device provided by the operator in the blockchain system, and reward resources can be fed back to the operator.

[0045] Among them, the amount of reward resources can be positively correlated with the number of IoT devices corresponding to the service provider, and the reward resources of the service provider can also be determined according to the device abnormality rate corresponding to the service provider, etc. The specific calculation method of the reward resources can be set according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0046] In the embodiments of this specification, the service provider can provide the device status information of the IoT device in a preset format, and then the server can save the device status information to the blockchain system in a unified preset format, which is also convenient for subsequent query of the saved device status information. Optionally, the device status information of the IoT device provided by the service provider in the embodiments of this specification specifically includes: Obtain device status information of IoT devices provided by the service provider in a preset format.

[0047] Among them, the preset format may include at least one element information of the device identification of the Internet of Things device, the service provider information corresponding to the Internet of Things device, the device address information corresponding to the Internet of Things device, the status information of the Internet of Things device, and the time information corresponding to the status information of the Internet of Things device.

[0048] In the embodiments of this specification, the device identification of the Internet of Things device can be the name, device number, device ID, etc. of the Internet of Things device; the service provider can be the device manufacturer, equipment transporter, equipment operation and management party, equipment user, etc., and the service provider information can be the name of each service provider, business license information, and other information that can represent the service provider; the address information of the device can be the operating address information of the Internet of Things device, such as the location information of the Internet of Things device installed, the store information where the Internet of Things device is located, the address information, the address where the Internet of Things device collects information, etc.; the status information of the Internet of Things device can include the status information of each process in the entire life cycle of the Internet of Things device, such as the generation, supply, sale, operation, maintenance and return of the Internet of Things device, such as production status information, transportation status information, operation and management status information, usage status information, maintenance, repair and other status information; among which, the time corresponding to the status in each process of the Internet of Things device can also be used as an element in the device status information.

[0049] For example, a manufacturer receives a production order for IoT devices on March 1. The manufacturer can arrange factory production according to the delivery time requirements. Assuming that the production of 50 IoT devices was completed on March 3 and the production of 40 IoT devices was completed on March 4, the manufacturer can fill in the device status information of these 90 IoT devices in the production platform. For each IoT device, the manufacturer can fill in the device identification, manufacturer identification, device location, production time, production status and other information of each device. The server can obtain the device status information provided by the manufacturer.

[0050] For another example, for a store that uses IoT devices, after installing IoT devices in the store, the device ID, store ID, store address, time the device is in the store, device usage status, and other information can be sent to the server through the IoT device or the store terminal device. If a problem occurs with the IoT device during subsequent use, maintenance information can also be sent to the server, which may include the device ID that needs to be repaired, the store ID where the device needs to be repaired is located, the address where the device needs to be repaired is located, the time when the repair is reported, the equipment maintenance status, and other information provided to the server; after the repair is completed, the server can also obtain information indicating the repair results provided in a preset format.

[0051] In actual applications, if the device status information provided by the service provider does not meet the preset format, the server may also adjust the format of the device status information provided by the service provider to obtain device status information that meets the preset format.

[0052] In the embodiments of this specification, the timestamp corresponding to each device status information can be set according to the time when each service provider provides the device status information, and the blockchain system can store the preset format device status information provided by each service provider in order according to the timestamp.

[0053] The Internet of Things device is an operating device provided offline by the ecological service provider to the merchant store. In the embodiment of this specification, the information of the Internet of Things devices in various industry lines can be uniformly saved in the blockchain system, which can realize the information exchange of various industry lines, and the blockchain system can store detailed information of each action of the device.

[0054] Among them, the blockchain system can store information about the entire life cycle of IoT devices provided by various service providers. When the device status information needs to be queried, the required information can be obtained from the blockchain system, and the information query can be avoided from disturbing the various service providers.

[0055] In addition, the blockchain system stores the device status information of IoT devices in a preset format. When querying, you can query based on any element information contained in the preset format. For example, you can check which devices are in maintenance based on maintenance information; you can also check which IoT devices the store is using during the time period based on store information and time information. Among them, the storage method in the preset format can meet the user's various query needs, and can realize multi-dimensional distributed query of IoT devices' generation of production plans, logistics supply, sales operations, maintenance and clearance, and other process data throughout the life cycle, and can also better realize the management of IoT devices.

[0056] In the embodiments of this specification, due to the natural trust mechanism of blockchain, the authenticity of the identity of the reported data can be guaranteed, and the subsequent traceability and responsibility can also be supported. In addition, the dual capabilities of standardized records and trust mechanisms enable users who need to query data to query historical data from multiple perspectives in a distributed manner.

[0057] In the embodiments of this specification, the device status information of the IoT device may be information about the entire life cycle of the IoT device, wherein the service provider may be the device manufacturer, device transporter, device operation manager, device user, etc. involved in the entire life cycle of the IoT device. The device status information and actual status information may include at least one of information indicating the device production status, information indicating the device transportation status, information indicating the device operation status, and information indicating the device maintenance and clearance status.

[0058] Among them, the processing of the Internet of Things device may include at least one of the following processing: ownership management of the Internet of Things device, data query of the Internet of Things device, and data correction of the Internet of Things device.

[0059] In actual applications, in order to improve the utilization rate of IoT devices and allow more users to use IoT devices for business processing, for example, IoT devices may include payment terminal devices, business self-service terminal devices, etc. Users can use IoT devices to complete payment, business processing and other matters. The IoT devices in the embodiments of this specification can be provided to service providers who operate and use IoT devices by leasing, selling, or using in cooperation.

[0060] The ownership management of IoT devices may include the management of the leasing rights, usage rights, and production rights of the IoT. For example, multiple payment devices are allocated to an operator, but the device status information or actual status information stored in the blockchain system determines that some of the operator's multiple devices are not turned on or used, or some devices have not processed any business. It can be determined that the operator has not fully operated each device, and the operator's operating rights to operate multiple devices or some of the devices that have not been fully operated can be revoked. The operator cannot obtain the reward resources corresponding to the some devices that have not been fully operated.

[0061] Data query for IoT devices can be a query for the process data of the entire life cycle of IoT devices, such as production planning, logistics supply, sales operation, maintenance and clearance, and the query results can be obtained from the blockchain system. Among them, the device status information in the blockchain system can also be updated according to the actual status information, and the query results can be provided according to the latest device status information.

[0062] For data correction of IoT devices, when the actual status information is inconsistent with the device status information stored in the blockchain system, the device status information stored in the blockchain system can be corrected, so that the blockchain system can store the latest device status information of the IoT device.

[0063] The actual status information in the embodiments of this specification may include planned actual status information agreed upon in advance with the service provider before submitting the IoT device to the service provider, such as planned delivery time and quantity information, planned transportation delivery information, and information such as the number, use location, purpose, and time of planned operation of IoT devices.

[0064] The actual status information may also be determined based on the business information processed by the IoT device. Optionally, in the embodiment of this specification, obtaining the actual status information of the IoT device may specifically include: Obtaining business processing information of the IoT device; Based on the business processing information, actual status information of the Internet of Things device is determined.

[0065] In actual applications, the server can obtain the business processing information of the IoT device, such as the time information of the business processing, the type information of the business processed, the content information of the business processed, etc. Among them, it is also possible to determine whether the physical network device is in use based on the time information of the business processing; the location of the physical network device can also be determined based on the business content information; and the terminal applications included in the IoT device and the business types that the IoT device can process can also be determined based on the business type information.

[0066] For example, for a payment device, when a consumer pays through the payment device, the server can obtain payment information, which may include information of both parties to the transaction. Assuming that the user pays in a store, the payment information may include the store's logo, thereby determining the operating location of the device.

[0067] In the embodiments of this specification, the IoT devices can also be managed in a targeted manner based on the device status information of the IoT stored in the blockchain system. For example, the IoT devices in a certain area can be selected to perform system upgrades on the devices in that area; functional upgrades can also be performed on some IoT devices that do not have certain functions, and so on.

[0068] In order to more clearly illustrate an information processing method of an Internet of Things device provided in an embodiment of this specification, Figure 3 This is a swim lane diagram of an information processing method for an Internet of Things device provided in an embodiment of this specification, and the method may include an information acquisition phase and an information processing phase. Figure 3 As shown, the method may also include: Step 302: The service provider sends the device status information of the IoT device to the server through the terminal.

[0069] The terminal may be the IoT device itself, or other terminals that can be used by the service provider, such as the service provider's operating platform, operating terminal, etc. The device status information may be information related to the entire life cycle of the IoT device, such as information related to the production, transportation, operation, use, maintenance and clearance processes.

[0070] Step 304: The server obtains the device status information of the IoT device provided by the service provider.

[0071] Step 306: The server sends the device status information to the blockchain system.

[0072] The server may be a block node in the blockchain system or a server outside the blockchain system. When the server is not included in the blockchain system, the server may send the device status information to a node server corresponding to a node in the blockchain system that can upload information to the blockchain, so that the node server can save the information to the blockchain system.

[0073] Step 308: The blockchain system saves the device status information of the IoT device provided by the service provider.

[0074] Among them, the encrypted device status information can be saved to the blockchain system based on the smart contract.

[0075] Step 310: The server may also obtain actual status information of the IoT device.

[0076] In actual applications, the server can analyze and determine the actual status information of the IoT device based on the business information processed by the IoT device. The server can also send a request to the IoT device to obtain device information. If the IoT device responds, it can be determined that the IoT device is in a usable state. The IoT device can also send the current status information to the server.

[0077] Step 312: The server may process the IoT device based on the actual status information and the device status information stored in the blockchain system, wherein it may be determined whether the actual status information is consistent with the device status information stored in the blockchain system.

[0078] Step 314: If the actual status information is consistent with the device status information stored in the blockchain system, the reward resources corresponding to the service provider can be determined, and the reward resources can be sent to the service provider.

[0079] Step 316: The service provider obtains reward resources.

[0088] Based on the same idea, the embodiment of this specification also provides a computer-readable medium corresponding to the above method. The computer-readable medium stores computer-readable instructions, which can be executed by a processor to implement the above information processing method of the Internet of Things device.

[0089] Each embodiment in this specification is described in a progressive manner. The same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. Figure 5 As for the device shown, since it is basically similar to the method embodiment, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the partial description of the method embodiment.

[0090] In the 1990s, it was very clear whether the improvement of a technology was hardware improvement (for example, improvement of the circuit structure of diodes, transistors, switches, etc.) or software improvement (improvement of the method flow). However, with the development of technology, many improvements of the method flow today can be regarded as direct improvements of the hardware circuit structure. Designers almost always obtain the corresponding hardware circuit structure by programming the improved method flow into the hardware circuit. Therefore, it cannot be said that the improvement of a method flow cannot be implemented with a hardware entity module. For example, a programmable logic device (PLD) (such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA)) is such an integrated circuit whose logical function is determined by the user's programming of the device. Designers can "integrate" a digital system on a PLD by programming themselves, without having to ask chip manufacturers to design and make dedicated integrated circuit chips. Moreover, nowadays, instead of manually making integrated circuit chips, this kind of programming is mostly implemented by "logic compiler" software, which is similar to the software compiler used when developing and writing programs, and the original code before compilation must also be written in a specific programming language, which is called hardware description language (HDL). There is not only one kind of HDL, but many kinds, such as ABEL (Advanced Boolean Expression Language), AHDL (Altera Hardware Description Language), Confluence, CUPL (Cornell University Programming Language), HDCal, JHDL (Java Hardware Description Language), Lava, Lola, MyHDL, PALASM, RHDL (Ruby Hardware Description Language), etc. The most commonly used ones are VHDL (Very-High-Speed ​​Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) and Verilog. Those skilled in the art should also know that it is only necessary to program the method flow slightly in the above-mentioned hardware description languages ​​and program it into the integrated circuit, and then it is easy to obtain the hardware circuit that implements the logic method flow.

[0091] The controller may be implemented in any suitable manner, for example, the controller may take the form of a microprocessor or processor and a computer-readable medium storing a computer-readable program code (e.g., software or firmware) executable by the (micro)processor, a logic gate, a switch, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic controller, and an embedded microcontroller, examples of which include but are not limited to the following microcontrollers: ARC 625D, Atmel AT91SAM, Microchip PIC18F26K20, and Silicone Labs C8051F320, and the memory controller may also be implemented as part of the control logic of the memory. It is also known to those skilled in the art that, in addition to implementing the controller in a purely computer-readable program code manner, the controller may be implemented in the form of a logic gate, a switch, an application-specific integrated circuit, a programmable logic controller, and an embedded microcontroller by logically programming the method steps. Therefore, such a controller may be considered as a hardware component, and the devices for implementing various functions included therein may also be considered as structures within the hardware component. Or even, the devices for implementing various functions may be considered as both software modules for implementing the method and structures within the hardware component.
