IoT Device
Each IoT device is integrated with at least one actuator or sensor, forming the core components that interact with the physical world. These devices are equipped with a processor and memory enabling them to identifies various attributes of the connected sensors or actuators. It then receives raw data from these components and categorizes it into defined data types which helps in managing the data efficiently. By analyzing the attributes, the device optimizes the size of the data before transmission. This optimization is achieved through a tailored communication protocol that drastically minimizes data transmission size, ensuring faster and more reliable transmission.
IoT Server
The IoT server (also IoT gateway) is designed to receive the optimized data sent from IoT devices, handling large volumes of incoming information effectively. Once the server receives the data, it transcodes it into standardized formats such as XML, XMPP, or JSON - where it can be integrated with industry standard protocols. This process ensures compatibility and ease of use for various applications and systems. After transcoding, the server relays the processed data to a management console. This relay facilitates smooth and efficient communication between the IoT devices and the user interfaces or applications that utilize the data.
Management Console
The management console serves as an interface that connects user devices with the IoT server. It displays real-time data and historical sensor data, providing users with comprehensive insights into the system's operation. Users can send control commands via the console to change the operating state of the actuators. This functionality allows for direct adjustment and management of the IoT system, enabling users to respond promptly to any changes or requirements.
Firmware Updates
The system includes a feature where the IoT server can notify IoT devices about available firmware updates. This ensures that devices are always up-to-date with the latest improvements and security patches. Firmware updates can be applied automatically, reducing the need for manual intervention and ensuring that the devices maintain optimal performance and security.
Wireless Network
The entire system is designed to operate over a wireless network. This wireless capability offers flexibility in installation and deployment, making it suitable for a wide range of environments and applications without the need for extensive wiring.
This innovative system promises to make IoT deployments more efficient by reducing data transmission sizes, ensuring data integrity, and facilitating easy management and control of connected devices.
