Abstract
The present disclosure, in various embodiments, provides a system, method, and device for selective filtering of advertising messages in networks of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The method can include determining whether an advertising message received at a first gateway meets a preset filtering criteria, and transmission of a coordination signal to the first gateway. The coordination signal can be configured to establish a connection between the first gateway and the IoT device if the advertising message meets the preset filtering criteria.
Claims20
A sitewide controller device configured to:
- determine whether an advertising message received at a first gateway from an IoT device meets a preset filtering criteria;
- transmit a coordination signal to the first gateway, the coordination signal configured to establish a connection between the first gateway and the IoT device if the advertising message meets the a preset filtering criteria;
- and
- transmit a preset processing protocol to the first gateway, the preset processing protocol executable on the first gateway when the connection between the first gateway and the IoT device is established, wherein the preset processing protocol includes a plurality of operational actions directed to the IoT device.
A method for selective filtering of IoT devices connected to a plurality of gateways, the method comprising:
- determining, whether an advertising message received at a first gateway from an IoT device meets a preset filtering criteria;
- transmitting a coordination signal to the first gateway, the coordination signal configured to establish a connection between the first gateway and the IoT device if the advertising message meets the preset filtering criteria;
- and
- transmitting a preset processing protocol to the first gateway, the preset processing protocol executable on the first gateway when the connection between the first gateway and the IoT device is established, wherein the preset processing protocol includes a plurality of operational actions directed to the IoT device.
A first gateway device connected to a sitewide controller, the first gateway device configured to:
- receive, from the sitewide controller, a preset filtering criteria;
- determine whether an advertising message received at the first gateway from an IoT device meets the preset filtering criteria;
- receive, from the sitewide controller, the coordination signal configured to establish a connection between the first gateway and the IoT device if the advertising message meets the preset filtering criteria;
- and
- receive, from the sitewide controller, a preset processing protocol executable on the first gateway when the connection between the first gateway and the IoT device is established, wherein the preset processing protocol includes a plurality of operational actions directed to the IoT device.
