A method of message adaptation in the Internet of Things (IoT) including a data center having a plurality of applications, an application gateway, a wide area network, a network of access appliances and a plurality of sensing devices. The method includes receiving at the application gateway a message containing data collected by the plurality of sensors, the message having a message descriptor; generating at the application gateway a message template based on the message descriptor; integrating context information into the generated message template; and outputting the message with the generated message template from the application gateway to a corresponding application in the data center for content-based processing.

Method and apparatus for unified message adaptation

A method of message adaptation in the Internet of Things (IoT) including a data center having a plurality of applications, an application gateway, a wide area network, a network of access appliances and a plurality of sensing devices. The method includes receiving at the application gateway a message containing data collected by the plurality of sensors, the message having a message descriptor; parsing at the application gateway the message according to the message descriptor; generating at the application gateway a message template based on the parsed message descriptor; storing at the application gateway the generated message template in memory; integrating context information into the generated message template; and outputting the message with the generated message template from the application gateway to a corresponding application in the data center for content-based processing.

A method of message adaptation in the Internet of Things (IoT) includes receiving a message containing data collected by the plurality of sensors, identifying a message type, looking up a message descriptor according to the message type, looking up a message template matching the message type and outputting the message with the matched message template for content-based processing. In one embodiment, the method includes identifying the message is a text message, parsing the message according to message type and message descriptor, and creating a sequence of key-value pairs for the text message. In one embodiment the method includes determining that there is no matched or valid matched message template and parsing the message according to the message descriptor to generate and store a message template including the message type, a message item list and a message item position list and attaching the message template to the message.
