COMMON INTERFACE SYSTEM FOR MESH NETWORKING AND FOG COMPUTING SYSTEMS

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and storage media are described for Internet of Things (IoT) hubs and IoT cradles in mesh networks and/or fog computing systems while providing interoperability among IoT devices provided by various manufacturers, vendors, and service providers. IoT devices may be connected or attached to IoT cradles, and the IoT cradles may communicate data among themselves over a cradle network. The IoT cradles may also communicate IoT data with the IoT hub over a hub network. The IoT hub may communicate the IoT data with clients and/or servers over a wide area network using wired or wireless communication protocols. Clients may access resources and/or services provided by the IoT devices by accessing the IoT hub via a dedicated application. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
