Main Functions of the Intelligent Gateway
1. Realizar a interconexão e a intercomunicação dos equipamentos
Intelligent gateway achieves interconnection between devices by connecting various devices with different protocols and communication methods, integrating various hardware devices and software systems. In this way, it achieves the purpose of connecting devices to the network and the cloud, and allowing different devices to interact with each other.
2. Conversão de protocolos e processamento de dados
Each device has its own data format and communication protocol. In order for them to work better together, intelligent gateway protocol conversion and data encoding and decoding capabilities are needed. The gateway is able to convert devices with different protocols into a unified protocol, so that they can submit data to the backend device smoothly, which is convenient for management and maintenance. Intelligent gateway can interface with various Internet technologies and support the conversion of various communication protocols, including ZigBee, Wi-Fi, LoRA, BLE, etc.
3. Gestão da segurança
O security issues faced by intelligent gateways are extremely important, especially in uncontrolled networks such as the Internet of Things. Intelligent gateways have security management capabilities to safeguard the security and integrity of the network and data, such as authentication, encryption and decryption methods. Through the gateway, encryption and authentication are performed during data transmission to avoid hacking or data theft.
4. Realizar a monitorização remota e o controlo inteligente
Intelligent gateway can realise remote monitoring and intelligent control of equipment, such as remotely checking whether the windows are closed or not, checking the switching status of the TV set and so on. At the same time, when sensing certain special circumstances, the gateway can automatically control and adjust the equipment, such as taking measures to protect the health of the occupants by turning off the air purifier and starting the lights.
5. Análise de dados em tempo real e análise preditiva
Intelligent gateway can also understand the use of each device through real-time data analysis, and then differentiated and targeted data analysis for the use of each device and performance level, and can be machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence and other technologies for predictive analysis of the data, to provide a reference basis for the subsequent optimisation and improvement of the product.
Em suma, o gateway inteligente não é apenas um dispositivo central fundamental para as aplicações IoT, mas também tem uma variedade de funções, como ligar dispositivos com diferentes protocolos e métodos de comunicação, fornecer conversão de protocolos e capacidades de processamento de dados e gestão de segurança. Compreender estas funções é importante para nos ajudar a compreender melhor o papel da porta de ligação inteligente e a sua vasta aplicação nas aplicações IoT.
