Description

Technical Field

[0002] Multi-time zone scenarios may occur in IoT systems. For example, terminal devices used by users in different time zones are connected to the same cloud platform, or terminal devices providing services to users in different time zones are connected to the same cloud platform. Regardless of the multi-time zone scenario, data management requirements will arise in multi-time zone scenarios.

[0003] At present, in related technologies, cloud platforms use a unified fixed time zone (for example, the zero time zone (GMT+0)), and the terminal devices providing services are in the same time zone as the cloud platform. When the terminal devices used by users in different time zones interact with the cloud platform, it is necessary to convert the time information involved in each data based on the user's time zone and the fixed time zone of the cloud platform. This will reduce the efficiency of data management for users and increase the error rate of data management (for example, business anomalies caused by time conversion errors). Therefore, this method cannot meet the data management needs of users in different time zones.

[0031] Multi-time zone scenarios may occur in IoT systems. For example, terminal devices used by users in different time zones are connected to the same cloud platform, or terminal devices providing services to users in different time zones are connected to the same cloud platform. Regardless of the multi-time zone scenario, data management requirements will arise in multi-time zone scenarios.

[0032] At present, in related technologies, cloud platforms use a unified fixed time zone (for example, the zero time zone (GMT+0)), and the terminal devices providing services are in the same time zone as the cloud platform. When the terminal devices used by users in different time zones interact with the cloud platform, it is necessary to convert the time information involved in each data based on the user's time zone and the fixed time zone of the cloud platform. This will reduce the efficiency of data management for users and increase the error rate of data management (for example, business anomalies caused by time conversion errors).

[0034] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a data management method, in which a cloud platform can receive a first request from a first device and, based on the first time zone configuration contained in the first request and the platform time zone of the cloud platform, convert the first time information contained in the first request into the first platform time information to obtain a second request; then, the cloud platform can parse the second request, determine the second device to which the second request points, and obtain the second time zone configuration of the second device from the time zone database of the cloud platform; the cloud platform can convert the first platform time information into the second time information based on the second time zone configuration and the platform time zone to obtain a third request; finally, the cloud platform sends the third request to the second device. The cloud platform uses a fixed platform time zone, which can distinguish the time zone of the first device and the time zone of the second device, and uniformly convert the time information involved in the interaction data of each device, so that users in different time zones can use the same cloud platform to manage devices in different time zones, thereby improving the data management efficiency of users in different time zones. Through this application, the problem that the related art cannot meet the data management needs of users in different time zones is solved, the data management needs of users in different time zones are met, and the technical effect of improving the efficiency of data management is achieved.

[0035] The technical solution in this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, such as wireless fidelity (WiFi) systems, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication systems, device-to-device (D2D) communication systems, Internet of Vehicles communication systems, 4th generation (4G) mobile communication systems, such as long term evolution (LTE) systems, world-wide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) communication systems, 5th generation (5G) mobile communication systems, such as new radio (NR) systems, and future communication systems, such as 6th generation (6G) mobile communication systems.

[0037] The data management method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 The communication system shown. Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication system 10 according to an embodiment of the present application, wherein the communication system 10 includes a first device 100, a second device 110, and a cloud platform 120. The first device 100, the second device 110, and the cloud platform 120 can communicate with each other via a wired network or a wireless network.

[0038] The cloud platform 120 may include a server cluster, which may be a single server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers (or microservers). For example, the multiple servers may include a data management server, a data acquisition plan management server, an access server, and a storage server. The server may also be a server in a cloud storage system. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific implementation of the cloud platform 120.

[0039] The cloud platform 120 can be divided into multiple layers. For example, the cloud platform 120 may include a view layer, a service layer, and an access layer. A user can use the first device 100 to interact with the view layer. The access layer of the cloud platform 120 is used to interact with the second device 110, which may be a terminal device providing various services to the user. The service layer of the cloud platform 120 is used to analyze and process service requests or responses generated by the first device 100 or the second device 110.

[0040] The first device 100 may be a terminal device with a data management function. For example, the first device 100 may be a mobile phone, tablet computer, desktop computer, laptop computer, handheld computer, notebook computer, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), netbook computer, wearable device, personal digital assistant (PDA), augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) device, and other devices capable of installing application software.

For example, the second device 110 can be an IP camera (IP Camera, IPC), a sensor or other device with a data acquisition function. The embodiment of the present application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific form of the second device 110.

[0042] The user can use the first device 100 to interact with the cloud platform 120 for data management of the second device 110 connected to the cloud platform 120. The cloud platform 120 can receive a first request from the first device 100, wherein the first request includes first time information and a first time zone configuration; based on the first time zone configuration and the platform time zone of the cloud platform 120, convert the first time information in the first request into first platform time information to obtain a second request; parse the second request, determine the second device 110 to which the second request points, and obtain the second time zone configuration corresponding to the second device 110 from the time zone database; based on the second time zone configuration and the platform time zone, convert the first platform time information in the second request into second time information to obtain a third request; and send the third request to the second device 110.

[0043] The second device 110 may generate a first response in response to the third request sent by the cloud platform 120. The cloud platform 120 may receive the first response from the second device 110, wherein the first response includes the third time information; obtain the second time zone configuration corresponding to the second device 110 from the time zone database; convert the third time information in the first response into second platform time information based on the second time zone configuration and the platform time zone to obtain a second response; parse the second response to determine the first device 100 to which the second response is directed; convert the second platform time information in the second response into fourth time information based on the first time zone configuration and the platform time zone to obtain a third response; and send the third response to the first device 100.

[0044] In addition, the user may also use the first device 100 to directly manage data on the cloud platform 120. The cloud platform 120 may receive a fourth request from the first device 100, wherein the fourth request includes the first time information and the first time zone configuration; based on the first time zone configuration and the platform time zone, convert the fifth time information in the fourth request into the third platform time information to obtain a fifth request; parse the fifth request to generate a fourth response corresponding to the fifth request; based on the first time zone configuration and the platform time zone, convert the third platform time information in the fourth response into the fifth time information to obtain a fifth response; and send the fifth response to the first device 100.

[0045] In specific implementation, the first device 100, the second device 110 and the cloud platform 120 can all adopt Figure 6 The composition results shown or include Figure 6 Parts shown. Figure 6It is a structural diagram of a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present application. When the terminal device 6 has the function of the first device 100 described in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device 6 can be the first device 100 or the chip or system on chip in the first device 100; when the terminal device 6 has the function of the second device 110 described in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device 6 can be the second device 110 or the chip or system on chip in the second device 110; when the terminal device 6 has the function of the cloud platform 120 described in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device 6 can be the cloud platform 120 or the chip or system on chip in the cloud platform 120.

[0046] In some embodiments, the cloud platform 120 provided in the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in a software manner. For example, it can be installed on Figure 6 In the memory 61 of the terminal device 6 shown, the cloud platform 120 can be software in the form of a program or plug-in, including a receiving module 50, a first conversion module 51, a parsing module 52, a second conversion module 53, and a sending module 54. These modules are logical and can be arbitrarily combined or further divided according to the functions implemented.

[0047] The functions of each module will be described below.

[0048] The data management method provided in the embodiment of the present application will be described in conjunction with the exemplary application architecture of the communication system 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0049] The following will be combined Figure 2 For an explanation of the data management method provided by one embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a data management method according to an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to a cloud platform, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0050] Step S201: Receive a first request from a first device, where the first request includes first time information and a first time zone configuration.

[0051] The user can use the first device to interact with the cloud platform's view layer. The cloud platform can convert the time information in the data sent by the first device into the platform's time zone at the view layer. The cloud platform can also convert the time information in the data to be sent to the first device into the time zone of the first device at the view layer.

[0052] The platform time zone is the time zone where the server where the cloud platform is deployed is located. Generally, the time zone where the server is located is selected as the platform time zone. Before the cloud platform is deployed, the platform time zone can be any time zone, such as the zero time zone; alternatively, the proportion of time zones where the devices (including the first device and the second device) that will be connected to the cloud platform are located can be counted, and the time zone with the highest proportion can be used as the platform time zone. Due to the existence of winter and summer time systems in some areas, this will cause the platform time zone to jump twice a year, causing server program time confusion. For example, in the Chicago area of the United States (America / Chicago), there are two time zones in a year: GMT-6 (non-daylight saving time) and GMT-5 (daylight saving time). Therefore, the cloud platform needs to turn off the daylight saving time function and uniformly adopt a fixed time zone in the GMT format (for example, the zero time zone (GMT+0)).

[0053] Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a system of artificially set local time to conserve energy. Generally, during the early summer months, the clocks are set forward one hour. This allows people to wake up earlier and go to bed earlier, reducing the amount of light used, thereby making full use of sunlight and saving electricity. The specific regulations vary among countries that adopt DST. Nearly 110 countries worldwide implement DST annually. For example, the Chicago time zone in the United States (America / Chicago) observes DST from 2:00 AM on the second Sunday in March to 2:00 AM on the first Sunday in November. During this time, the standard time zone for the region is GMT-5. All other times are not DST, and the standard time zone is GMT-6.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first time zone configuration includes the first time zone of the first device and the first daylight saving time configuration of the first device, wherein the first daylight saving time configuration includes the activation of daylight saving time by the first device and the first time period when the first device enters daylight saving time.

[0055] Since the area where the first device is located or the geographical location of the second device may also be in an area that adopts the winter and summer time systems, in order to avoid the problem of server program time confusion caused by daylight saving time jumps in the cloud platform, the daylight saving time activation status of the first device or the second device also needs to be configured.

[0056] In one embodiment, before receiving the first request from the first device, the method also includes: after the first device is connected to the cloud platform, obtaining the time zone configuration of the region where the first device is located, and using the time zone configuration of the region where the first device is located as the first time zone configuration; or after the first device is connected to the cloud platform, obtaining the first time zone configuration reported by the first device.

[0057] In this embodiment, the cloud platform can directly obtain the time zone configuration of the region where the first device is located. Taking the time zone of the Chicago area of the United States as an example, if the region where the first device is located is the Chicago area of the United States, the first time zone configuration of the first device can be directly determined based on the first time information. For example, if the first time information is 11:00:00 on May 16, 2025, the time zone configuration of the Chicago area of the United States is GMT-5, and the first time zone configuration of the first device can include the first time zone of the first device - GMT-5; if the timestamp corresponding to the first time information is 11:00:00 on January 16, 2025, the time zone configuration of the Chicago area of the United States is GMT-6, and the first time zone configuration of the first device can include the first time zone of the first device - GMT-6.

[0058] It should be noted that the above embodiment only introduces that the cloud platform obtains the time zone configuration of the region where the first device is located, and directly determines the time zone corresponding to the first device based on the time zone configuration of the region where the first device is located. However, the first time zone configuration of the first device can also be configured by the user.

[0059] Specifically, the first device can display a time zone configuration interface, wherein the time zone configuration interface includes multiple time zone options, a daylight saving time enable option, and a daylight saving time period option; the first device can generate a first time zone configuration in response to the user's selection operation of the first time zone option among the multiple time zone options, the selection operation of the daylight saving time enable option, and the selection operation of the daylight saving time period option on the first device; and the first device can report the first time zone configuration to the cloud platform.

[0060] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a time zone configuration interface according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, after the first device is initialized, the time zone configuration interface can be displayed.

[0061] The user can use the first device to select the first time zone option from multiple time zone options by clicking the mouse, touching or pressing, or in other forms; the user can also select the daylight saving time activation option to determine whether to enable daylight saving time; when the user enables daylight saving time, the user can also select the daylight saving time period option, wherein the daylight saving time period option includes a start time and an end time, and the start time and the end time include "month", "week", "day", "hour" and "minute" respectively.

[0062] The first device can generate a first time zone configuration in response to the user's selection operation of the first time zone option among multiple time zone options, the selection operation of the daylight saving time enable option, and the selection operation of the daylight saving time period option on the first device, and report the first time zone configuration to the cloud platform.

[0063] Each time the first device interacts with the cloud platform for data (for example, requests data in the cloud platform or interacts with data in the cloud platform), it needs to carry the configured first time zone configuration in the request.

[0064] Step S202: Based on the first time zone configuration and the platform time zone of the cloud platform, the first time information in the first request is converted into first platform time information to obtain a second request.

[0065] Because the cloud platform uses a fixed platform time zone, which may be different from the time zone of the first device, the cloud platform can convert the first time information in the first request sent by the first device into the first platform time information in the platform time zone. In this way, the cloud platform can simultaneously access first devices in different time zones, thereby meeting the data management needs of users in different time zones.

[0066] In one embodiment, based on the first time zone configuration and the platform time zone of the cloud platform, the first time information in the first request is converted into the first platform time information to obtain the second request, including: when the first device has enabled daylight saving time and the first time information falls within the first time period, the first time zone is corrected according to the daylight saving time to obtain the third time zone; based on the third time zone and the platform time zone, the first time information is converted into the first platform time information to obtain the second request; when the first device has not enabled daylight saving time, or the first device has enabled daylight saving time but the first time information does not fall within the first time period, based on the first time zone and the platform time zone, the first time information is converted into the first platform time information to obtain the second request.

[0067] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the user can enable daylight saving time through the time zone configuration interface displayed by the first device. In this case, in order to avoid server program time confusion on the cloud platform, the cloud platform needs to correct the first time zone of the first device that enables daylight saving time.

[0068] Specifically, if the first device has daylight saving time enabled and the first time information of the first device falls within the first time period, the first time zone configured by the user can be processed as -1. For example, if the first time zone configured by the user is GMT-6, and the first device has daylight saving time enabled, the first time period is from 2:00 on March 1 to 2:00 on November 1, and the timestamp corresponding to the first time information of the first device is 11:00:00 on May 1, 2025, because the first device has daylight saving time enabled and the first time information of the first device falls within the first time period, the cloud platform needs to process the first time zone configured by the user, GMT-6, as -1, to obtain the third time zone, GMT-5. Then, the cloud platform can convert the first time information into the first platform time information based on the third time zone, GMT-5, and the platform time zone.

[0069] It should be noted that in the above scenario, the timestamp corresponding to the first time information of the first device is equivalent to the local time of the first device. However, in some scenarios, the local time of the first device may not be the same as the first time information. In this case, it is also necessary to obtain the local time of the first device and use the local time of the first device as the basis for determining whether to perform daylight saving time correction. For example, when the second device connected to the cloud platform is a terminal device with a data acquisition function (for example, a network camera), the user can send a first request to the cloud platform through the first device. The first request is used to request the second device (for example, a network camera) to collect the target video during the target time period, and the first time information included in the first request corresponds to the target time period under the first time zone. However, the local time of the user (that is, the local time of the first device) is not necessarily the same as the first time information. Therefore, it is also necessary to obtain the local time of the first device and use the local time of the first device as the basis for determining whether to perform daylight saving time correction.

[0070] Step S203: parse the second request, determine the second device to which the second request points, and obtain a second time zone configuration corresponding to the second device from a time zone database.

[0071] In this embodiment, the cloud platform's business layer can be used to parse the first request sent by the first device. Within the cloud platform's business layer, all time-related data is uniformly transferred using the platform's time zone, shielding against time differences caused by the different time zones in which the first and second devices are located, and normalizing the time data. Thus, the same cloud platform supports access from both first and second devices in different time zones, thus meeting the data management needs of users in different time zones.

[0072] In one embodiment, before receiving the first request from the first device, the method further includes: after the second device connects to the cloud platform, receiving a second time zone configuration reported by the second device, and storing the second time zone configuration in the time zone database.

[0073] In this embodiment, the cloud platform can connect to one or more second devices, and the time zone of each second device can be different from the platform time zone of the cloud platform. The time zones of multiple second devices can also be different. Therefore, the second device can support users (e.g., operation and maintenance personnel) to configure the time zone of the second device. Users can customize the second time zone configuration of the second device through web pages, commands, programs, or other methods.

[0074] After the second time zone configuration is completed on the second device, the global time of the second device is automatically adjusted to correspond to the second time zone configuration, and all data generated or received by the second device is also uniformly adjusted to correspond to the second time zone configuration. Each time the second device connects to the cloud platform, it can automatically report the second time zone configuration of the second device. After receiving the second time zone configuration, the cloud platform stores the second time zone configuration in the time zone database.

[0075] Step S204: Based on the second time zone configuration and the platform time zone, the first platform time information in the second request is converted into second time information to obtain a third request.

[0076] For similar reasons as the first device, the second time zone configuration may also include the second time zone of the second device and the second daylight saving time configuration of the second device, wherein the second daylight saving time configuration includes the activation of daylight saving time by the second device and the second period during which the second device enters daylight saving time.

[0077] In one embodiment, the second time zone configuration may include a time offset (in seconds) for converting the second time zone to the platform time zone. For example, if the second time zone is GMT+8 and the platform time zone is GMT+0, the time offset is 8*60*60=28800 seconds. The cloud platform can convert the first platform time information in the second request into the second time information based on the time offset.

[0078] The access layer of the cloud platform may be responsible for the time conversion of the data related to the second device.

[0079] In one embodiment, based on the second time zone configuration and the platform time zone, converting the first platform time information in the second request into the second time information to obtain the third request includes the following steps:

[0080] Step 1: Convert the first platform time information into the second time information based on the second time zone configuration and the platform time zone.

[0081] Step 2: When daylight saving time is enabled on the second device and the second time information falls within the second time period, the second time information is corrected according to daylight saving time to obtain corrected time information; and based on the corrected time information, a third request is generated; when daylight saving time is not enabled on the second device, or when daylight saving time is enabled on the second device but the second time information does not fall within the second time period, a third request is generated based on the second time information.

[0082] In this embodiment, the data sent down by the cloud platform to the second device (downlink data or signaling, such as the second request in the above step S204) involves time data (for example, first platform time information) that can be converted by the access layer of the cloud platform. The access layer converts the first platform time information into second time information through the second time zone configuration (for example, time offset) stored in the time zone database, and then forwards it to the corresponding second device.

[0083] In addition, when the cloud platform sends data to the second device, if the second device has enabled daylight saving time and the second time information falls within the daylight saving time period (i.e., the second time period), the second time information needs to be corrected according to daylight saving time. For example, if the second device has enabled daylight saving time and the second time period is from 2:00 on March 1 to 2:00 on November 1, if the timestamp corresponding to the second time information is 11:00:00 on May 1, 2025, then since the second time information has fallen into the second time period, the second time information needs to be corrected according to daylight saving time, and the corrected time information is -12:00:00 on May 1, 2025. Then, the cloud platform can generate a third request based on the corrected time information.

[0084] It should be noted that in the above scenario, the timestamp corresponding to the second time information is equivalent to the local time of the second device. However, in some scenarios, the local time of the second device may not be the same as the second time information. In this case, it is also necessary to obtain the local time of the second device and use the local time of the second device as the basis for determining whether to perform daylight saving time correction on the second time information.

[0085] Step S205: Send the third request to the second device.

[0086] In this embodiment, through the above steps S201 to S205, the relevant data of the first device or the second device in different time zones can be correctly stored on the same cloud platform; at the same time, the user can manage the data of the second device in a different time zone by switching their own time zone configuration. In this way, the cloud platform can access the first device and the second device in different time zones, and users in different time zones can view and operate the second device in different time zones by switching their own time zone configuration, thereby enabling users in different time zones to manage the data of the second device in different time zones, which can improve the accuracy and efficiency of data management.

[0087] In one embodiment, after sending the third request to the second device, the method further includes the following steps:

[0088] Step 1: Receive a first response from the second device, where the first response includes third time information.

[0089] Step 2: Obtain a second time zone configuration corresponding to the second device from a time zone database.

[0090] Step 3: Based on the second time zone configuration and the platform time zone, convert the third time information in the first response into the second platform time information to obtain a second response.

[0091] Step 4: parse the second response to determine the first device to which the second response points.

[0092] Step 5: Based on the first time zone configuration and the platform time zone, convert the second platform time information in the second response into fourth time information to obtain a third response.

[0093] Step 6: Send the third response to the first device.

[0094] In this embodiment, the cloud platform's access layer can uniformly perform time conversion on the uplink data (i.e., the first response) reported by the second device to the cloud platform. The cloud platform's access layer uses the stored second time zone configuration to convert the third time information in the first response into the second platform time information for storage.

[0095] Through the above processing, the cloud platform can realize the time conversion of relevant data of the first device and the second device in different time zones, that is, the relevant data of the first device or the second device in different time zones can be correctly stored in the cloud platform, and users accessing the cloud platform can manage the data of the second device in different time zones by switching their own time zone configuration.

[0096] In one embodiment, in addition to initiating a request to the second device connected to the cloud platform, the first device may also directly send a request to the cloud platform (for example, requesting data interaction, etc.). Specifically, the method further includes the following steps:

[0097] Step 1: Receive a fourth request from a first device, where the fourth request includes first time information and a first time zone configuration.

[0098] Step 2: Based on the first time zone configuration and the platform time zone, convert the fifth time information in the fourth request into the third platform time information to obtain the fifth request.

[0099] Step 3: parse the fifth request and generate a fourth response corresponding to the fifth request.

[0100] Step 4: Based on the first time zone configuration and the platform time zone, convert the third platform time information in the fourth response into fifth time information to obtain a fifth response.

[0101] Step 5: Send a fifth response to the first device.

[0102] In this embodiment, the steps of receiving requests and time conversion can be completed by the view layer of the cloud platform, the steps of request parsing and response generation can be completed by the business layer of the cloud platform, and then the steps of time conversion and response sending can be completed by the view layer of the cloud platform.

[0103] As an example, the cloud platform can receive data from the second device, convert the time information involved in the data of the second device into platform time information, and then store it in the storage server of the cloud platform. The user can send a fourth request directly to the cloud platform through the first device, and the fourth request is used to request the data of the second device. The cloud platform converts the fifth time information in the fifth request into the third platform time information to obtain the fifth request; then, the cloud platform parses the fifth request and generates a fourth response. For example, the cloud platform can search the storage server for the data uploaded by the second device corresponding to the third platform time information (i.e., the fourth response), and then convert the third platform time information in the fourth response into the fifth time information to obtain the fifth response, and finally, send the fifth response to the first device.

[0104] In this way, the first device not only interacts with the second device connected to the cloud platform, but can also interact with the cloud platform directly, thereby enabling users in different time zones to manage the data of the second device in different time zones, and enabling users in different time zones to manage the data of the cloud platform.

[0105] Figure 4 is a flow chart of a data management method according to another embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0106] Step S401: The first device sends a first request to the cloud platform.

[0107] In step S402 , the cloud platform converts the first time information in the first request into first platform time information to obtain a second request.

[0108] In step S403 , the cloud platform analyzes the second request and determines the second device to which the second request points.

[0109] In step S404, the cloud platform converts the first platform time information in the second request into second time information to obtain a third request.

[0110] Step S405: The cloud platform sends a third request to the second device.

[0111] Step S406: The second device sends a first response to the cloud platform.

[0112] In step S407, the cloud platform converts the third time information in the first response into second platform time information to obtain a second response.

[0113] In step S408 , the cloud platform parses the second response and determines the first device to which the second response points.

[0114] In step S409, the cloud platform converts the second platform time information in the second response into fourth time information to obtain a third response.

[0115] Step S410: The cloud platform sends a third response to the first device.

[0116] Through the above steps S401 to S410, the cloud platform can receive the first request from the first device and, based on the first time zone configuration contained in the first request and the platform time zone of the cloud platform, convert the first time information contained in the first request into the first platform time information to obtain the second request; then, the cloud platform can parse the second request, determine the second device to which the second request points, and obtain the second time zone configuration of the second device from the time zone database of the cloud platform; the cloud platform can convert the first platform time information into the second time information based on the second time zone configuration and the platform time zone to obtain the third request; finally, the cloud platform sends the third request to the second device. The cloud platform uses a fixed platform time zone, which can distinguish the time zone of the first device and the time zone of the second device, and uniformly convert the time information involved in the interaction data of each device. This allows users in different time zones to use the same cloud platform to manage devices in different time zones, thereby improving the data management efficiency of users in different time zones. Through this application, the problem that the related art cannot meet the data management needs of users in different time zones is solved, the data management needs of users in different time zones are met, and the technical effect of improving the efficiency of data management is achieved.
