Platform
Four Major Characteristics of
Object Management Platform
Unitary device
management interface
A unitary backstage
manages all devices within
a given physical domain.
Manage devices with the
concept of “domain”
Through the concept of business
district, massive amount of
devices are categorized and
managed accordingly.
Connecting smart,
connected devices
through API
Able to connect IoT objects such
as digital billboard, Beacon,
temperature and humidity
sensor, infrared people sensor.
Automatic reporting
mechanism when
the device
abnormality occurs
Ensure the service’s usability
by keeping track of front-end
devices in real time.
Create a ”Monitoring Mechanism for
Real-Time IoT Objects and Services”

Object Management Platform: Scenarios of
Usage1. Retailers in the new
domain joins the platform
Our party will evaluate shops on
retail environment, types of
products sold, and business
models, etc., and give them
feedbacks on their services.
2. Registration for objects in
the domain
Through simple instruction on
platform operation, the retailers
in the domain can follow the steps
to register and log into the
platform.
3. Obtain API and the monitor
program on the billboard-end
Retailers can obtain corresponding
API and the monitor program on the
billboard-end based on their needs
and our suggestions.
4. Bury in API and the monitor
program on the billboard-end
Retailers can bury the obtained
API into the APP or backstage
host, and embed the monitor
program into the billboard host
and setup.
5. Domain service begins
the operation
Domain service begins the
operation, and pass the data
back to our host through
API.
6. Backstage smart analysis
Through smart analysis at the back-
end management platform, we
provide the suggestions for
deployment revision as a reference,
or evaluate the effectiveness of the
object usage.
