Internet of Things (IoT) communication method, communication end, and user end

An Internet of Things (IoT) communication method, comprising:

• sending by a user end, access information and control information via an instant messaging (IM) account of the user end to an IM account of a wireless Access Point (AP) which is a communication end, wherein the wireless AP communicates wirelessly through an Intelligent Grouping and Resource Sharing (IGRS) protocol with a plurality of source terminals without any intervention of additional equipment wherein:
• the access information sent from the IM account of the user end includes an identifier of the source terminal and an access command which enables the wireless AP to directly access wirelessly through the IGRS protocol, the status information of the source terminal,
• the control information sent from the IM account of the user end includes the identifier of the source terminal and a control command which enables the wireless AP to directly control wirelessly through the IGRS protocol, the source terminal, and
• the IM account of the user end and the IM account of the wireless AP are bound to each other in instant messaging software, such that the IM account of the user end is the only account holder authorized to send the access command and the control command to the IM account of the wireless AP;
• and
• receiving and displaying via the IM account of the user end, source information sent from the communication end, wherein the source information is returned to the communication end only in response to the source terminal directly receiving wirelessly the access command and the control command from the communication end through the IGRS protocol.

An Internet of Things (IoT) wireless access point (AP), which is a communication end, that comprises at least a processor with circuitry operating in conjunction with at least a memory which stores instruction codes operable as a plurality of modules, wherein the plurality of modules comprise:

• a receiving module, which is enabled to receive via an instant messaging (IM) account of the communication end, access information and control information sent from an IM account of a user end, wherein the wireless Access Point communicates wirelessly through an Intelligent Grouping and Resource Sharing (IGRS) protocol with a plurality of source terminals without any intervention of additional equipment, wherein:
• the access information sent from the IM account of the user end includes an identifier of a source terminal and an access command which enables the wireless AP to directly access wirelessly through the IGRS protocol, status information of the source terminal,
• the control information sent from the IM account of the user end includes the identifier of the source terminal and a control command which enables the wireless AP to directly access wirelessly through the IGRS protocol, status information of the source terminal, and
• the IM account of the wireless AP and the IM account of the user end are bound to each other in instant messaging software, such that the IM account of the user end is the only account holder authorized to send the access command and the control command to the IM account of the wireless AP;
• a sending module, which is enabled to send the access command and the control command to the source terminal which is specified by the identifier of the source terminal;
• an acquisition module, which is enabled to obtain source information from the source terminal which the source terminal returns in response to receiving the access command and the control command directly from the wireless AP through the IGRS protocol;
• and
• a forwarding module, which is enabled to directly send wirelessly through the IGRS protocol via the IM account of the wireless AP, the source information to the IM account of the user end.

An Internet of Things (IoT) user end that comprises at least a processor with circuitry operating in conjunction with at least a memory which stores instruction codes operable as a plurality of modules, wherein the plurality of modules comprise:

• a command sending module, which is enabled to send access information and control information via an instant messaging (IM) account of the user end to an IM account of a wireless Access Point (AP) which is a communication end, wherein the wireless Access Point communicates wirelessly through an Intelligent Grouping and Resource Sharing (IGRS) protocol with a plurality of source terminals without any intervention of additional equipment wherein:
• the access information sent from the IM account of the user end includes an identifier of the source terminal and an access command which enables the wireless AP to wirelessly directly access the status information of the source terminal through the IGRS protocol,
• the control information sent from the IM account of the user end includes the identifier of the source terminal and a control command which enables the wireless AP to wirelessly directly control the source terminal through the IGRS protocol, and
• the account of the user end and the IM account of the wireless AP are bound to each other in instant messaging software, such that the IM account of the user end is the only account holder authorized to send the access command and the control command to the IM account of the wireless AP;
• and
• a receiving and displaying module, which is enabled to receive and display, via the IM account of the user end, source information by the wireless AP, wherein the source information is returned to the wireless AP in response to the source terminal directly receiving the access command and the control command from the wireless AP wirelessly through the IGRS protocol.
