Process control method performed by a common service entity

A method performed by an Internet of Things IoT terminal, comprising:

• displaying a plurality of states in a set IoT process and actions associated with the plurality of states;
• acquiring information for adjusting IoT process, wherein the information for adjusting IoT process instructs the IoT process to advance into one of the plurality of states for skipping at least one state of the plurality of states;
• and
• instructing the IoT device associated with the state to execute an action associated with the state based on the information for adjusting IoT process.

A process control method for Internet of Things IoT, comprising:

• transmitting, by an application entity to a common service entity, a request to create a process management resource;
• receiving, by the common service entity, the request to create a process management resource, and creating the process management resource according to the request to create a process management resource;
• transmitting, by the application entity to the common service entity, a request to create a plurality of state resources;
• receiving, by the common service entity, the request to create a plurality of state resources, and creating the plurality of state resources as sub-resources of the process management resource according to the request to create a plurality of state resources;
• transmitting, by the application entity to the common service entity, a request to create at least one action resource, wherein the at least one action resource corresponds to one of the plurality of state resources;
• receiving, by the common service entity, the request to create at least one action resource, and linking the at least one action resource to its corresponding state resource according to the request to create at least one action resource;
• transmitting, by the application entity to the common service entity, a request to create an advanced state resource, wherein the advanced state resource is associated with a state resource of a plurality of state resources in a process management resource, and the advanced state resource is used to simulate that the condition for triggering an operation of an action resource has been satisfied in advance;
• receiving, by the common service entity, the request to create an advanced state resource, and creating the advanced state resource as a sub-resource of the process management resource according to the request to create an advanced state resource;
• and
• processing, by the common service entity, the process management resource, and setting a value of a current state attribute in the process management resource as an identifier of a state resource associated with the advanced state resource.
