Abstract
Example implementations described herein are directed to an embedded edge device and edge/cloud system configured to facilitate seamless connectivity between multi-domain assets for system of system and internet of everything applications. Through the use of a novel horizontally scalable embedded architecture for embedded edge device that can be connected to multi-domain assets to enable seamless connectivity between them, the example implementations can facilitate wireless connections across multi-domain assets to allow overall system of systems and internet of everything applications to improve quality of life.
Claims10
An apparatus configured to be hardwire connected to an asset, the apparatus comprising:
- a hardwire interface configured to connect to the asset, wherein the asset is an asset of an application domain independent of the apparatus;
- a cellular interface (I/F);
- a microcontroller, configured to:
- after boot-up of the apparatus:
- retrieve asset identification information from the asset through the hardwire interface connection;
- determine a type of the asset from the retrieved asset identification information;
- register the retrieved asset identification information with a server over the cellular I/F;
- load an application corresponding to the determined type of asset;
- and
- communicate to another asset through the cellular I/F connection with server to establish bi-directional communication between the asset and the another asset.
