IoT Reference Resource Validation via Server Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In Internet of Things (IoT) systems, when a resource is added to a collection resource, there is no mechanism to verify the validity of the reference resource, leading to potential invalidation due to issues like insecure sessions or lack of access rights, especially when resources are located on different devices.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves a method where a first server receives a resource addition request from a client, performs communication with the reference resource based on its access location and identification, and only adds the reference resource's identification to the collection resource if the communication is successful.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a resource is added to a collection resource without verification, then the resource addition process is simple and fast, but the reference resource may be invalid due to insecure sessions or lack of access rights
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs communication verification with the reference resource before adding it to the collection resource. The server establishes a communication connection, verifies access rights and session security in advance, and only then proceeds to add the resource identifier. This preliminary verification action ensures resource validity while maintaining a relatively simple addition process.
2Reliability
If communication verification is performed before adding reference resource, then the reliability of resource addition is improved, but the time required for resource addition increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs a minimal necessary communication verification - establishing a connection and verifying basic access rights - rather than exhaustive validation. This partial verification approach provides sufficient reliability to prevent invalid resource addition while minimizing the time overhead compared to more comprehensive verification methods.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides an Internet of Things communication method and apparatus. The method includes: receiving a resource addition request transmitted by a client, where the resource addition request is used to indicate addition of an identification of a reference resource into a collection resource on the first server; performing communication with the reference resource according to an access location of the reference resource and the identification of the reference resource; adding the identification of the reference resource into the collection resource if the communication between the first server and the reference resource is successful. In this way, before adding the reference resource, the first server first performs communication with the reference resource, and adds the identification of the reference resource into the collection resource after determining that the communication between the first server and the reference resource is successful, thereby ensuring the validity of the reference resource.
