IoT Resource Subscription via Associated Object Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing IoT subscription methods often fail to effectively subscribe to associated resources, leading to insufficient resource access and inefficient operations in smart applications like smart home and smart transportation, as they typically only subscribe to target resources specified in the request, not meeting application needs.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for subscribing to resources in IoT systems, where a service entity receives a subscription request, determines associated objects, generates subscriptions to these objects based on their states, and sends subscription responses, enabling enriched resource access and diverse subscription modes according to object states.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a service entity only subscribes to target resources specified in the subscription request, then the subscription process is simple and direct, but the resource access is insufficient and fails to meet application needs
Solution Approach 1:
The service entity performs preliminary action by automatically determining associated objects before the subscription is completed. When a third entity subscribes to a first object, the service entity proactively identifies and subscribes to associated second objects (such as event notification objects or related data objects) before the subscription process ends, ensuring comprehensive resource access without requiring explicit requests from the third entity
Solution Approach 2:
The service entity acts as an intermediary between the third entity and the resource system. It receives the subscription request for a first object, determines associated objects, and automatically establishes subscriptions to these associated objects. This intermediary role enables automatic resource enrichment without directly exposing the complexity of association determination to the third entity
2Productivity
If the system automatically determines and subscribes to associated objects, then resource access is enriched and operational efficiency is improved, but the subscription management becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The service entity performs self-service by autonomously determining associated objects and establishing subscriptions without requiring manual intervention from the third entity. The system automatically queries association relationships, selects appropriate associated objects, and creates subscriptions based on pre-defined rules, thereby improving operational efficiency while containing complexity within the service entity itself

AI summary
A method, apparatus, and device used for subscribing resources in the field of the Internet of Things, and a storage medium, the method used for subscribing resources including: a service entity receiving a subscription request of a third entity for a first object; determining a second object associated with the first object; generating at least a subscription for the second object; and sending a subscription response, the subscription response being used to indicate the result of the subscription. The described method may enable subscribed resources to be more plentiful.
