The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of this disclosure, which may be implemented according to the contents of the specification in order to understand the technical means of this disclosure more clearly, and in order to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of this disclosure more obvious and understandable, a detailed description of this disclosure will be given below.
Various other advantages and benefits of the invention will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading the following detailed description of preferred embodiments. The drawings are only for the purpose of illustrating preferred embodiments, and are not to be considered as limiting the disclosure. Furthermore, throughout the drawing, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. In the drawings:
Exemplary embodiments of the disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to gain a more thorough understanding of the disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
Step 101, receiving first underlying data sent by the IoT terminal.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the IoT server is an electronic apparatus with data transmission, storage and processing functions, may be a server for collecting, analyzing and processing underlying data collected by the IoT terminal, and may also remotely control the IoT terminal. The IoT terminal refers to a terminal apparatus directly or indirectly connected with the IoT server to access the IoT, such as a Bluetooth speaker, an air conditioner, and a piece of intelligent furniture. It should be noted that the embodiment of this disclosure is mainly about the IoT terminal indirectly connected with the IoT server to solve its problem of low data transmission efficiency to the IoT server. The gateway apparatus is intermediate forwarding apparatus for forwarding the underlying data collected by the IoT terminal to the IoT server. Generally, gateway apparatus connected to a specific IoT terminal needs to be provided or configured by a provider of the specific IoT terminal so as to adapt to the specific IoT terminal. The first underlying data refer to the underlying data originally collected by the IoT terminal, which will be directly provided for the gateway apparatus and forwarded to the IoT server by the gateway apparatus.
The gateway apparatus may be provided with a format conversion script including the parameter correspondence between the parameter position information and the format requirement, It may be understood that because different IoT terminals adopt different data transmission formats, in order to make a data format of the provided IoT server uniform, the first underlying data provided by the IoT terminal may be subjected to data format conversion through the gateway apparatus. However, converting all the first underlying data into a data format such as JSON will increase the data size of the converted underlying data which is not conducive to data transmission. Therefore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, part of data in the first underlying data are converted based on the parameter correspondence to reduce the data size of the underlying data to be transmitted, and specific implementation will he described in detail below. The parameter correspondence may be preset in the gateway apparatus or provided by the IoT server for the gateway apparatus.
Step 102, extracting part of data from the first underlying data as second underlying data according to the parameter position information.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the parameter position information is explanatory information for querying the second underlying data needed in the first underlying data, which may be a field location of the second underlying data in the first underlying data, or a query logic for querying the second underlying data in the first underlying data, such as the location information of a specific field in each frame of the underlying data, which may be set according to actual needs, and is not limited here. It should be noted that the second underlying data are only part of the first underlying data, so the data size of the second underlying data is smaller than that of the first underlying data. It may be understood that the first underlying data provided by the IoT terminal not only contain the values of collected parameters, but also contain information such as the apparatus label, collection time, accuracy, unit and range of the IoT terminal, but in fact, the IoT server may only need some of the values, even only the parameter values, so the data needed in the first underlying data may he located through the parameter position information, so that the data are extracted from the first underlying data and the data size in subsequent data format conversion is reduced.
Step 103, converting the second underlying data into a target data format according to the format requirement corresponding to the parameter position information, so as to obtain third underlying data.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the format requirement is to convert a data transmission format used by the IoT terminal into a target data format used by the IoT server, and the format requirement may be generated based on a difference between the data transmission format of the IoT terminal and the target data format and provided for the gateway apparatus. By establishing the parameter correspondence between the parameter position information and the format requirement, part of data. required in the underlying data provided by the IoT terminal may be converted into the target data format required by the IoT server, thus ensuring a uniform format of the data received by the IoT server.
Step 104, sending the third underlying data to the IoT server.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, since the third underlying data are already in the target data format compatible with the IoT server, the gateway apparatus may directly send the obtained third underlying data to the IoT server. As the third underlying data are obtained by format conversion of only part of the first underlying data. provided by the IoT terminal, compared with the way of directly converting the first underlying data into the target data format, the size of data to be transmitted is greatly reduced, and the efficiency of collecting the underlying data in the IoT terminal by the IoT server is improved.
Specifically, a script may be generated and stored on the IoT server (e.g., cloud server, and background server) in advance, the script is a program for executing the steps of the data transmission method described in the embodiment of the disclosure, and the script may be automatically generated by the IoT server according to a transmission protocol between the gateway apparatus and a terminal apparatus and a transmission protocol adopted by the IoT server. The gateway apparatus may download the script from the cloud server, or the IoT server may issue the script to the gateway apparatus, so that the gateway apparatus may obtain and run the script, and setting the gateway apparatus on site by staff is not needed, which may reduce the workload required for configuring the gateway apparatus, and further reduce the workload required for indirectly connecting the IoT terminal with the IoT server through the gateway apparatus.
For example, when the IoT server adopts the JSON format, the IoT server may obtain the parameter position information of required parameter values according to the data. transmission protocol between the gateway apparatus and the IoT terminal, then establish a correspondence between the format requirement and the parameter position information corresponding to the parameter values according to the format requirement required by different parameter values in the JSON format to obtain the parameter correspondence, and finally update the parameter correspondence to a configuration file storing the parameter correspondence in the script, so that the script which needs to be deployed to the gateway apparatus connected with the IoT terminal is easily generated for downloading by the gateway apparatus or issuing by the IoT server. Of course, the data transmission protocols and data formats used by the IoT terminal, the gateway apparatus and the IoT server may be flexibly set according to actual needs. The script may be easily generated in the manner provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, so that the gateway apparatus may execute the steps in the data transmission solution described in the embodiment of the disclosure, allowing the IoT terminal to conveniently and efficiently upload the underlying parameters to the IoT server.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, by storing the parameter correspondence between the parameter position information and the format requirement in the gateway apparatus, the required part of data extracted from the underlying data provided by the IoT terminal according to the parameter position information are converted into the target data format according to the format requirement corresponding to the parameter position information, so as to be provided for the IoT server, thereby reducing the size of underlying data. that the gateway apparatus needs to send to the IoT server, and improving the efficiency of collecting the underlying data from the IoT terminal by the IoT server.
Step 201, receiving first underlying data sent by the IoT terminal.
This step can be implemented with reference to the detailed description of step 101, which will not be repeated here.
Optionally, the parameter position information includes a parameter identifier and a parameter length.
Step 202, querying a data field including the parameter identifier in the first underlying data.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the parameter identifier is a parameter code, a parameter name, etc. used to describe the content of a parameter, for example, the parameter identifier of time may he time, and the parameter identifier of distance may be distance, as long as the contents of the parameters can be distinguished by the parameter identifiers. In the first underlying data, all the data are arranged according to an underlying data format used, parameter markers marking data contents of the underlying data are generally contained, and data fields where the parameter markers are located contain the parameter values corresponding to the parameter markers, so the data field where each parameter marker is located may be queried first to determine the approximate location of the data to be extracted.
Step 203, extracting part of data of the parameter length from a designated position in the data field to obtain the second underlying data.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the designated position refers to a field location of the parameter value corresponding to the parameter identifier in the data field. Generally, the designated position and the parameter length may be set based on the format rules of the underlying data protocol used by the IoT terminal. Because the position of the parameter value with respect to the parameter identifier and the parameter length in general underlying data formats are fixed or follow certain setting rules, the data required by the IoT server may be obtained by extracting the data of the parameter length at the designated position of the data field.
Optionally, step 203 may comprise: extracting part of data of the parameter length from the parameter identifier in the data field to obtain the second underlying data.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, since the parameter value corresponding to the parameter identifier is usually set after the parameter identifier, the required second underlying data may be efficiently extracted from the first underlying data by extracting part of the data of the parameter length after the parameter identifier.
Optionally, the format requirement at least includes a parameter type.
Step 204, converting the second underlying data into the parameter type to obtain a parameter value.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, because different data formats have different requirements for parameter types, in order to convert the second underlying data into the target data format, the second underlying data need to be converted according to the parameter type specified in the format requirement as parameter values of subsequently generated underlying data in the target data format.
Step 205, combining the parameter identifier with the parameter value to obtain the third underlying data in the target data format.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, in order to reduce the size of data to be transmitted as much as possible, the size of data contained in the third underlying data needs to be reduced. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the third underlying data in the target data format are obtained by combining only the parameter markers for marking parameter contents and the parameter values, so that the size of data transmitted from the gateway apparatus to the IoT server is greatly reduced.
Optionally, step 205 may comprise: replacing the second underlying data in the data to field including the parameter identifier with the parameter value to obtain the third underlying data in the target data format.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, if the data in the second underlying data have already been arranged according to the parameter identifier and the second underlying data, the data in the target data format do not need to be generated through recombination, and the third underlying data in the target data format may be efficiently obtained simply by changing the second underlying data in the extracted data field into the parameter values after parameter type conversion.
Step 206, sending the third underlying data to the IoT server.
This step can be implemented with reference to the detailed description of step 104, which will not be repeated here.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, by storing the parameter correspondence between the parameter position information and the format requirement in the gateway apparatus, the required part of data extracted from the underlying data provided by the IoT terminal according to the parameter position information are converted into the target data format according. to the format requirement corresponding to the parameter position information, so as to be provided for the IoT server, thereby reducing the size of underlying data that the gateway apparatus needs to send to the IoT server, and improving the efficiency of collecting the underlying data from the IoT terminal by the IoT server.
Step 301, acquiring a parameter requirement in a target data format and acquiring parameter position information in a transmission protocol used by the IoT terminal.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the IoT server takes a data structure and a. parameter requirement of the target data format as the parameter requirement, and acquires the parameter position information of a parameter value in the data structure in the data transmission protocol used by the IoT terminal. Of course, the parameter position information may be determined by configuring the underlying data transmission protocol used by the IoT terminal, or may be determined based on the original configuration of the underlying data transmission protocol.
