Nowadays, with more and more application scenarios of artificial intelligence, many hardware companies are developing IoT applications for their own products, providing customers with integrated software and hardware solutions. Hardware companies focus on hardware research and development, and software generally finds external Cooperation with companies, such as smart parking, smart water, smart buildings, smart communities and other industries of the Internet of Things.
Today I will introduce how to do IoT application development:
1.Understand communication patterns
Mainstream IoT applications are based on the TCP protocol. Reported data is analyzed and control commands are issued according to hardware private protocols. There are also some public protocols, such as PLC devices, which need to use OPC servers for communication and docking. Essentially, they are all based on the TCP protocol. There are also some communications that need to use the Bluetooth protocol to communicate, and need to report data and issue control commands according to the Bluetooth data protocol.
2. Communication system
The development and hardware communication system is mainly to establish a socket link for the hardware based on the TCP protocol, software and hardware to transmit data to each other, and provide an interface to the management platform for the management platform to call.
3. Management platform
The management platform is a system used by users with a visual interface. Users can operate the hardware on it. During the operation, the interface of the communication system will be called, and the communication system will form instructions and send them to the hardware according to the call.
The above is the basic process of developing an IoT application, and I hope it will be helpful to you.
