IoT Action Calls for Single-Step Property Value Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current IoT control methods require multiple interactions between control devices and IoT devices, leading to inefficiencies when adjusting property values, especially when the target property value is not explicitly indicated, resulting in high interaction costs and low control efficiency.
Innovation Solution
The proposed method involves sending an action call with a target service instance identification, target instance identification, and property parameter to the IoT device, allowing it to adjust property values based on the provided parameters, reducing the need for explicit property value settings and simplifying the control process by enabling single instruction interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the control device interacts with the IoT device to obtain current device state and determine target device state before sending action call, then the control precision is improved, but the interaction cost increases and control efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the IoT device pre-generate and store action scripts that contain complete control instructions including target device states. When a control request is received, the control device directly sends the pre-prepared action call without needing to interact with the IoT device to determine the target state, thus reducing interaction cost while maintaining control precision
Solution Approach 2:
The IoT device performs self-service by autonomously generating action scripts and storing them locally. The device can independently determine its own target state based on control calls received in the past, eliminating the need for real-time interaction with the control device to obtain current state and determine target state
2Reliability
If multiple interactions are required to adjust property values when target property value is not explicitly indicated, then the control reliability is improved, but the productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-generating action scripts that contain complete control instructions with target device states embedded. These scripts are stored and can be directly executed without requiring multiple interactions to determine the target property value, thus improving productivity while maintaining control reliability through the structured script format
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary element - the action script - that mediates between the control call and the device state adjustment. The action script serves as a pre-computed instruction set that contains the target device state, eliminating the need for multiple interactions to determine the target property value while ensuring reliable control execution
