First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a server configured toassign a namespace to a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, with the plurality of IoT devices being at different locations, and with each IoT device having a universal unique identifier (UUID) associated therewith,assign at least one sub-namespace to each IoT device based on its location, andmap the UUID associated with each IoT device to both the namespace and the at least one sub-namespace assigned thereto; and
a device cooperating with said server to generate commands for controlling said plurality of IoT devices based on the namespaces and the at least one sub-namespaces mapped to the respective UUIDs.

Abstract
A system includes a server to assign a namespace to Internet of Things (IoT) devices, with the IoT devices being at different locations, and with each IoT device having a universal unique identifier (UUID) associated therewith. The server assigns at least one sub-namespace to each IoT device based on its location, and maps the UUID associated with each IoT device to both the namespace and the at least one sub-namespace assigned thereto. A device cooperates with the server to generate commands for controlling the IoT devices based on the namespaces and the at least one sub-namespaces mapped to the respective UUIDs.

15. A method for operating a system comprising a server and a device cooperating with the server, the method comprising:
-
operating the server to assign a namespace to a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, with the plurality of IoT devices being at different locations, and with each IoT device having a universal unique identifier (UUID) associated therewith, assign at least one sub-namespace to each IoT device based on its location, and map the UUID associated with each IoT device to both the namespace and the at least one sub-namespace assigned thereto; and operating the device to generate commands for controlling the plurality of IoT devices based on the namespaces and the at least one sub-namespaces mapped to the respective UUIDs. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
