Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is no effective mechanism for group management of terminal peripherals by an M2M gateway in existing M2M communication systems, which hinders efficient network control and resource management.
Innovation Solution
The M2M gateway pre-allocates and manages terminal peripheral group identifiers, sending them to the M2M service platform for group configuration updates, enabling effective group management and resource optimization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If group-based M2M characteristic is activated to control terminal nodes in groups, then network resource usage is reduced and signaling overhead is minimized, but there is no effective mechanism for performing group management over terminal peripherals by an M2M gateway
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the M2M terminal nodes into groups using group identifiers (Group ID), allowing the M2M gateway to manage multiple terminals collectively rather than individually. This segmentation enables efficient group-based control, updating, and charging operations, reducing network signaling overhead while maintaining manageable group structures through hierarchical organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring group identifiers and group management policies in the M2M gateway before actual group operations occur. The gateway maintains pre-established group configuration information including Group ID, terminal lists, and management parameters, enabling immediate group-based operations without requiring complex real-time negotiation or setup procedures.
2Ease of operation
If individual terminal management is performed without group-based mechanism, then detailed control over each terminal is maintained, but network congestion occurs and signaling overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual terminal management operations into unified group-based operations. The M2M gateway can send single control messages to groups of terminals identified by Group ID, combining what would otherwise require multiple individual communications. This merging approach maintains operational control while dramatically reducing network signaling overhead and preventing congestion.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by designing the group management mechanism to handle multiple functions through a single group identifier system. The same Group ID structure and gateway mechanisms support diverse operations including control, updating, charging, and monitoring across different terminal groups, providing versatile management capability without requiring separate specialized systems for each function.

AI summary
Provided are registering, deregistering and standby processing methods and systems for a terminal peripheral. The registering method includes that: a Machine-to-Machine/Man (M2M) gateway pre-allocates a terminal peripheral group identifier of a terminal peripheral group to a terminal peripheral configured into the terminal peripheral group by an M2M user, and sets an initial state of the terminal peripheral, the terminal peripheral group identifier being used for identifying the terminal peripheral group to which the terminal peripheral belongs; the M2M gateway acquires a terminal peripheral identifier of the terminal peripheral initiating a registering request, and determines the terminal peripheral group identifier pre-allocated to the terminal peripheral according to the terminal peripheral identifier; and the M2M gateway sends the terminal peripheral identifier and the terminal peripheral group identifier to an M2M application through an M2M service platform, wherein the terminal peripheral identifier and the terminal peripheral group identifier is used for the M2M application to locally create or update group configuration information corresponding to the terminal peripheral group after the M2M application certificates and authorizes the terminal peripheral. Therefore, a network can implement effective group management over terminal peripherals through the M2M gateway.
