Abstract
An Internet of Things, IoT, structure including application layers with a 3D Adaption Matrix, a server for an IoT structure, a device for an IoT application and a method for manipulating dependencies between the application layers is provided. The 3D Adaption Matrix includes adaption rules, which adaption rules are specified once and which adaption rules enable specifying dependencies between the application layers. A module of the IoT structure is configured to employ the adaption rules for an IoT application.
Claims12
A system comprising:
- a server for an Internet of Things, IoT, structure, wherein the server includes a memory and a processor,
- wherein the IoT structure includes application layers including an IoT Data Structure layer, an IoT Storage layer, and an IoT Interface layer,
- wherein the memory stores a 3D Adaption Matrix including adaption rules, which adaption rules are specified once, wherein the adaption rules enable specifying dependencies between the application layers, wherein the dependencies link interface properties of the IoT Interface Layer to a data structure of the IoT Data Structure and a storage system of the IoT Storage Layer for each possible combination of the interface properties, the data structure, and the storage system, such that the server and each IoT application can communicate using the storage system and all interface properties of the IoT Interface Layer, and
- wherein the processor is configured to employ the adaption rules for an IoT application.
A method for manipulating dependencies between application layers of an Internet of Things, IoT, structure wherein the application layers include an IoT Data Structure layer, an IoT Storage layer, and an IoT Interface layer, the method comprising the following steps:
- specifying adaption rules of a 3D Adaption Matrix of the IoT structure, which adaption rules enable specifying the dependencies between the application layers;
- employing the adaption rules for an IoT application,
- wherein the dependencies link interface properties of the IoT Interface Layer to a data structure of the IoT Data Structure and a storage system of the IoT Storage Layer for each possible combination of the interface properties, the data structure, and the storage system, such that the storage system and all interface properties of the IoT Interface Layer are usable for communication with each IoT application.
