IoT Resource Subscription for Efficient Multi-Device Notifications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Internet of Things (IoT) management systems require multiple subscription messages for a mobile phone to receive information from multiple IoT devices, leading to cumbersome and inefficient information notification processes.
Innovation Solution
An information notification method that determines a first resource feature and transmits a notification message only when the structure of resources satisfies this feature, eliminating the need for multiple subscription messages by creating a subscribed resource that indicates this feature.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the mobile phone transmits multiple subscription messages to subscribe to information of multiple devices, then the information notification function is achieved, but the information notification steps become cumbersome and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual subscription messages into a single group subscription message. The mobile phone sends one group subscription message that includes identifiers of multiple target devices, and the server creates a group subscription relationship that consolidates notifications from all these devices. This combining approach reduces the number of communication steps and improves notification efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The group subscription message serves multiple functions simultaneously: it subscribes to information from multiple different devices in one message, creates a consolidated notification channel, and establishes a many-to-many relationship between the mobile phone and multiple IoT devices. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate subscription procedures for each device.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the mobile phone transmits multiple subscription messages to the Internet of Things management device, then information from multiple devices can be subscribed, but the number of messages increases leading to inefficient notification
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple subscription requests are merged into a single group subscription message transmission. The mobile phone includes identifiers of multiple target devices within one message, and the server processes this single message to create subscription relationships with all specified devices simultaneously, reducing transmission time and processing overhead.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile phone prepares a group subscription message in advance that contains all necessary device identifiers and subscription parameters before transmission. This preliminary preparation allows the server to immediately create multiple subscription relationships upon receiving the single message, eliminating sequential processing delays.

AI summary
The present application discloses an information notification method and apparatus. The method is used for a first entity, and includes: determining a first resource feature; determining whether a structure of resources satisfies the first resource feature; and transmitting a notification message to a second entity if the structure of the resources satisfies the first resource feature.
