Method and system of binding sensors and actuators automatically
First Claim
1. A method of binding sensors and actuators automatically, comprising:
- acquiring event description data of a sensor to be bound;
acquiring action description data of an actuator to be bound; and
matching the event description data and the action description data in order to determine whether to bind an event in the sensor and an action in the actuator, the step of matching comprising;
determining whether an application field of the event description data is the same as an application field of the action description data;
determining whether a measurement field of the event description data is the same as a measurement field of the action description data; and
determining whether context information of the event description data is the same as context information of the action description data.

Abstract
The method for binding a sensor and an actuator can be categorized into three types: manual binding, automatic binding and semi-automatic binding. Manual binding methods increase users'"'"' operational burden when a great number of sensors and actuators are to be bound. The current hard-coded automatic binding method suffers from lack of versatility. The template-based semi-automatic binding method still requires users to input some information manually. The disclosure provides an automatic binding method, which can automatically and reasonably bind the functions of a sensor and an actuator without user input, in a sensor network comprising a plurality of sensors and actuators.

9. A system of binding sensors and actuators automatically, comprising:
-
a device database, configured to store data of sensors and actuators; a binding generator, configured to compare the data of the sensors and the data of the actuators in order to generate binding rules between the sensors and the actuators automatically; and a binding rule database, configured to store the binding rules between the sensors and the actuators, wherein the device database comprises; a device function database, configured to store event description data of the sensors and action description data of the actuators, wherein the event description data of the sensors comprises an application field, a measurement field, context information, and event filters;
the action description data of the actuators comprises an application field, a measurement field, context information, and action parameters; and
the binding generator compares the event description data of the sensors and the action description data of the actuators to generate the binding rules between the sensors and the actuators automatically. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
