Abstract

Disclosed is a method for managing data of a terminal peripheral, the method includes: a Machine to Machine/Man (M2M) gateway collects, stores, processes and forwards data of the terminal peripheral and/or a group of terminal peripherals according to a strategy; wherein the strategy is issued by an M2M application or an M2M service platform or is configured locally at the M2M gateway; the strategy includes at least a data collection strategy, a data storage strategy, a data processing strategy and a data forward strategy. Further disclosed is an M2M gateway for managing data of a terminal peripheral, configured to collect, store, process and forward data of the terminal peripheral and/or a group of terminal peripherals according to a strategy. By means of embodiments of the disclosure, managerial functions of the M2M gateway are perfected, thereby performing efficient management of data of the terminal peripheral.

Claims

1. A method for managing data of a terminal peripheral, comprising:

collecting, storing, processing and forwarding, by a Machine to Machine/Man (M2M) gateway, data of the terminal peripheral and/or a group of terminal peripherals according to a strategy;

wherein the strategy is issued by an M2M application or an M2M service platform or is configured locally at the M2M gateway;

the strategy includes at least a data collection strategy, a data storage strategy, a data processing strategy and a data forward strategy.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the collecting data comprises:

upon receiving data transmitted by the terminal peripheral and/or the group of terminal peripheral, screening, by the M2M gateway, the received data according to the data collection strategy, or acquiring data from different functional modules of the M2M gateway according to the data collection strategy.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the storing data comprises:

storing, according to the data storage strategy, data collected by the M2M gateway in a specified storage manner including storage by category.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the processing data comprises:

performing, on the data, at least one operation of retrieval, data query, data modification, data deletion and data backup.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the performing retrieval on the data comprises:

performing ranked retrieval, by the M2M gateway according to the data processing strategy, on data stored by category.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the forwarding data comprises:

forwarding, by the M2M gateway according to the data forward strategy, data from the ranked retrieval to a network and/or different functional modules of the M2M gateway.

12. The method according to claim 2, wherein the storing data comprises:

storing, according to the data storage strategy, data collected by the M2M gateway in a specified storage manner including storage by category.

13. The method according to claim 2, wherein the processing data comprises:

performing, on the data, at least one operation of retrieval, data query, data modification, data deletion and data backup.

14. The method according to claim 2, wherein the forwarding data comprises:

forwarding, by the M2M gateway according to the data forward strategy, data from the ranked retrieval to a network and/or different functional modules of the M2M gateway.

7. A Machine to Machine/Man (M2M) gateway for managing data of a terminal peripheral, configured to collect, store, process and forward data of the terminal peripheral and/or a group of terminal peripherals according to a strategy;

wherein the strategy is issued by an M2M application or an M2M service platform or is configured locally at the M2M gateway;

the strategy includes at least a data collection strategy, a data storage strategy, a data processing strategy and a data forward strategy.

8. The M2M gateway according to claim 7, comprising a data collection unit configured to, upon receiving data transmitted by the terminal peripheral and/or the group of terminal peripheral, screen the received data according to the data collection strategy, or acquire data from different functional modules of the M2M gateway according to the data collection strategy.

9. The M2M gateway according to claim 7, further comprising a data storage unit configured to store, according to the data storage strategy, collected data in a specified storage manner including storage by category.

10. The M2M gateway according to claim 7, further comprising a data processing unit configured to perform according to the data processing strategy, on the data, at least one operation of retrieval, data query, data modification, data deletion and data backup.

11. The M2M gateway according to claim 7, further comprising a data forward unit configured to forward, according to the data forward strategy, data from the ranked retrieval to a network and/or different functional modules of the M2M gateway.

15. The M2M gateway according to claim 8, further comprising a data storage unit configured to store, according to the data storage strategy, collected data in a specified storage manner including storage by category.

16. The M2M gateway according to claim 8, further comprising a data processing unit configured to perform according to the data processing strategy, on the data, at least one operation of retrieval, data query, data modification, data deletion and data backup.

17. The M2M gateway according to claim 8, further comprising a data forward unit configured to forward, according to the data forward strategy, data from the ranked retrieval to a network and/or different functional modules of the M2M gateway.
