Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an access method to implement access of an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway. A method includes: a user equipment (UE) obtains an address of a to-be-connected IoT gateway. An IoT cloud platform allocates, to a mobile application (MAPP) installed on the UE, a unique access identifier corresponding to the MAPP. The UE provides an address of the IoT cloud platform and the allocated access identifier for the IoT gateway whose address is already learned. The IoT gateway adds the access identifier to a registration message, and sends the registration message to the IoT cloud platform. The IoT cloud platform binds the IoT gateway to the MAPP corresponding to the access identifier included in the registration message, so as to complete access of the IoT gateway.

Claims20

Dependent claims

An access method, comprising:

accessing, by a communication apparatus having a mobile application (MAPP) installed thereon, a local area network according to an operation of a user of the communication apparatus, wherein the local area network is of a gateway that includes a routing function;
sending, by the communication apparatus, a multicast probe message in the local area network for searching for the gateway;
receiving, by the communication apparatus, a multicast response message from the gateway, wherein the multicast response comprises an address of the gateway;
after the communication apparatus has been logged into a platform device using the MAPP, obtaining, by the communication apparatus from the platform device, an address of the platform device and an access identifier allocated by the platform device to the MAPP;
and
sending, by the communication apparatus to the gateway, the address of the platform device and the access identifier allocated by the platform device to the MAPP based on the address of the gateway to enable the gateway to send a registration message to the platform device based on the address of the platform device, wherein the registration message carries the access identifier allocated by the platform device to the MAPP, wherein the access identifier is used to enable the platform device to bind the gateway to the MAPP and to complete access of the gateway to the platform device.

3 more elements

An access method, the method comprising:

receiving, by a gateway in a local area network, a multicast probe message from a communication apparatus having a mobile application (MAPP) installed thereon, wherein the multicast probe message is used to search for a gateway, wherein the local area network is accessed according to an operation of a user of the communication apparatus, and wherein the gateway includes a routing function;
in response to receiving the multicast probe message, sending, by the gateway to the communication apparatus, a multicast response message comprising an address of the gateway to cause the communication apparatus to obtain, from a platform device, an address of the platform device and an access identifier allocated by the platform device to the MAPP after the communication apparatus has been logged into the platform device using the MAPP;
receiving, by the gateway from the communication apparatus, the address of the platform device and the access identifier allocated by the platform device to the MAPP based on the address of the gateway;
and
sending, by the gateway, a registration message to the platform device based on the address of the platform device, wherein the registration message carries the access identifier allocated by the platform device to the MAPP, wherein the access identifier is used to enable the platform device to bind the gateway to the MAPP and to complete access of the gateway to the platform device.

2 more elements

A system, comprising:

a gateway;
and
a platform device,
wherein the gateway is configured to:
receive, in a local area network, a multicast probe message from a communication apparatus having a mobile application (MAPP) installed thereon, wherein the multicast probe message is used to search for a gateway, wherein the local area network is accessed according to an operation of a user of the communication apparatus, and wherein the gateway includes a routing function;
in response to receiving the multicast probe message, send a multicast response message comprising an address of the gateway to the communication apparatus;
after the communication apparatus has been logged into a platform device using the MAPP installed on the communication apparatus, receive, from the communication apparatus, an address of the platform device and an access identifier allocated by the platform device to the MAPP installed on the communication apparatus;
send, to the platform device based on the address of the platform device, a registration message carrying the access identifier allocated by the platform device to the MAPP;
and
receive a registration response message from the platform device, wherein the registration response message indicates that the gateway successfully accesses the platform device;
and
wherein the platform device is configured to:
receive the registration message from the gateway;
bind the gateway to the MAPP to complete access of the gateway to the platform device;
and
send the registration response message to the gateway.
