Device Control Method and Apparatus, Server, and Storage Medium

A server comprising:

• a memory configured to store instructions;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the server to:
• receive, from a control device, a first control command carrying a first device identifier of a first network device and carrying a first control entity, wherein the first control command instructs the first network device to perform a first operation corresponding to the first control entity, wherein the first control entity complies with a standard data format, and wherein the standard data format is described by a standard model corresponding to a first upper device type of the first network device;
• determine, based on the first device identifier, a first digital twin model corresponding to the first network device, wherein the first digital twin model describes a first data format supported by the first network device and records a first correspondence between the standard data format and the first data format;
• convert, based on the first correspondence, the first control entity into the first data format to obtain a converted first control entity;
• and
• send, to the first network device, the converted first control entity.

A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions that are stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium and that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a server to:

• receive, from a control device, a first control command carrying a first device identifier of a first network device and carrying a first control entity, wherein the first control command instructs the first network device to perform a first operation corresponding to the first control entity, wherein the first control entity complies with a standard data format, and wherein the standard data format is described by a standard model corresponding to a first upper device type of the first network device;
• determine, based on the first device identifier, a first digital twin model corresponding to the first network device, wherein the first digital twin model describes a first data format supported by the first network device and records a first correspondence between the standard data format and the first data format;
• convert, based on the first correspondence, the first control entity into the first data format to obtain a converted first control entity;
• and
• send, to the first network device, the converted first control entity.
