The present disclosure discloses a method and an apparatus for configuring an alarm rule for an IoT device, and a device and a storage medium thereof, which are applied to the field of IoT. The method includes: configuring at least two groups of alarm rules for a plurality of IoT devices of the same type in an IoT; obtaining n usage categories of the plurality of IoT devices by categorizing the plurality of IoT devices according to usage characteristics of the plurality of IoT devices; calculating a correlation between the at least two groups of the alarm rules and the n usage categories, and storing a corresponding relationship between a target usage category and a target alarm rule whose correlation is higher than a condition; and when an IoT device belonging to the target usage category is newly added, configuring an alarm rule of the newly added IoT device as the target alarm rule.

The present invention relates to a Zigbee or other multi-hop network that can become a bottleneck for certain applications, e.g. entertainment streaming to (multiple) areas in the areas (e.g. at home) where hopping is needed. By locally utilizing an temporary gateway (50) being present right in a data-hungry area, the overall performance across the network can be improved. Using this temporary gateway (50), (part of) the data can be routed 5 directly to/from the destination/source nodes (10, 40) thus freeing up capacity in the remainder of the network.

A user terminal sends out an interest including text data and an image file for matching to an information centric network. When a server receives the interest from the user terminal, the server separates the image file for matching from the interest and sends out a simple interest that includes the text data and does not include the image file for matching and a complex interest that includes the image file for matching to the information centric network. A camera associates the text data included in the simple interest with the image file for matching included in the complex interest, executes a matching process for verifying whether any of the image files accumulated in the own device matches the image file for matching based on the criteria stipulated in the text data, and transmits a matching result report to the user terminal.

Disclosed are methods, electronic devices and systems for transmitting cross-resource event notifications. A method for transmitting cross-resource event notifications includes: receiving a cross-resource subscription request from a resource subscription entity, wherein the cross-resource subscription request is used to subscribe to a plurality of resources, and the cross-resource subscription request includes a plurality of single-resource event notification criteria and a cross-resource event notification criterion; determining that n resources of m resources satisfy the single-resource event notification criteria and satisfy the cross-resource event notification criterion, and transmitting a cross-resource event notification to the resource subscription entity, wherein m and n are positive integers greater than or equal to 2.

Each of a plurality of assets within a building are configured to access a cellular network in order to ascertain its specific location, to perform self-diagnostics on itself, and to transmit an assistance request when the self-diagnostics indicates a potential problem. The assistance request may include the specific location of the asset and an indication of the potential problem. A server is operably couplable to the cellular network and is configured to receive the assistance requests from the assets, formulate a service request for responding to at least some of the received assistance requests, assign each of the service requests to a corresponding one of one or more automated asset maintenance assistants, and transmit each of the service requests to the assigned automated asset maintenance assistant instructing the assigned automated asset maintenance assistant to respond to the corresponding assistance request.

A method of adjusting pool or spa equipment parameters in a multi-vendor pool or spa equipment system is provided. The method includes providing a pool or spa equipment system including a plurality of different pool or spa equipment provided by a plurality of different pool or spa equipment suppliers with each of the plurality of different pool or spa equipment having its own adjustable parameters. The method includes connecting the plurality of different pool or spa equipment to a software application via a local network and receiving and displaying current parameter data of the connected plurality of different pool or spa equipment on the software application. The method further includes adjusting, via the software application, the parameters of any one of the connected plurality of different pool or spa equipment.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a data transmission method and associated devices. In the method, data collected by at least one monitoring device in a substation is received at a gateway. Further, a status of a connection between the gateway and a first network is detected, where the first network enables communication between the gateway and a server. Further, in response to detecting a disconnection between the gateway and the first network, the data is sent to a user device via a second network hosted by the gateway to enable the user device to forward the data to the server.

Disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure are a method for notifying a message of a smart home based on a smart screen, an apparatus, and a smart screen. The method includes: receiving a notification message sent by a smart home device waiting to be processed by a user; determining, by means of a communication component of a smart screen, a first smart home device closest to the smart screen, so as to determine a location of the smart screen by means of the first smart home device; and starting infrared detectors installed in respective rooms, determining, according to a location of the user acquired by an infrared detector, a second smart home device closest to the user, and then using the second smart home device to send the notification message and the location of the smart screen to the user.
