Abstract
An apparatus for transmitting and receiving data to/from an IoT device to accelerate the spread of IoT. The IoT devicegenerates a message to be transmitted, and transmits, via SMS, the message to the phone number of a first server, which is stored in the IoT device. The first servernotifies the IoT terminal, as needed, of having received SMS data including the message, and thereafter delivers the SMS data to a second server. The second serverspecifies a destination with reference to associations between destination identifiers includable in the SMS data and destinations. The second servertransmits, to a third external server, a portion obtained by excluding the destination identifier from the message or the whole message including the destination identifier.
