Abstract

Implementations relating to service information communication methods and electronic devices are provided. One method includes: communicating, by a terminal device based on token information, first service information of a first service with an Internet of things (IoT) server corresponding to the first service, wherein the token information is obtained from the IoT server by the terminal device after performing authentication with the IoT server based on user information of the terminal device, and wherein the token information is used by the terminal device to communicate with the IoT server, and communicating, by the terminal device, second service information of the first service with an IoT terminal device corresponding to the first service, wherein the second service information is associated with the first service information, and wherein the user information of the terminal device is same as user information of the IoT terminal device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A service information communication method, comprising:
communicating, by a terminal device based on token information, first service information of a first service with an Internet of things (IoT) server corresponding to the first service, wherein the token information is obtained from the IoT server by the terminal device after performing authentication with the IoT server based on only user information of the terminal device, and wherein the token information is used by the terminal device to communicate with the IoT server without transmitting device information of the IoT terminal device to the IoT server; and communicating, by the terminal device, second service information of the first service with an IoT terminal device corresponding to the first service, wherein the second service information is associated with the first service information, and wherein the user information of the terminal device is same as user information of the IoT terminal device.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second service information of the first service is communicated with the IoT terminal device through a soft bus channel established by the terminal device with the IoT terminal device.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:
sending, by the terminal device to the IoT terminal device through the soft bus channel, a first query message to query the IoT terminal device for information about the IoT terminal device; and receiving, by the terminal device through the soft bus channel, the information about the IoT terminal device sent by the IoT terminal device based on the first query message.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first service is received by the terminal device from the IoT server based on the token information, and wherein the second service information is sent by the terminal device to a first service port address of the IoT terminal device comprised in the information about the IoT terminal device through the soft bus channel.

5 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the information about the IoT terminal device comprises service information and address request information for requesting, from the terminal device, a service port address for the IoT terminal device to report the first service indicated by the service information, and the method further comprises:
sending, by the terminal device, a service request message to the IoT terminal device based on the address request information and the service information, wherein the service request message is used to request the IoT terminal device to report the service information of the first service, and the service request message comprises a second service port address for the IoT terminal device to report the first service, wherein the second service information is received by the terminal device through the soft bus channel based on the second service port address, and wherein the first service information is sent by the terminal device to the IoT server based on the token information.

6 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the information about the IoT terminal device comprises at least one of a device type, vendor information, or a device name of the IoT terminal device.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the terminal device obtains the token information from the IoT server, the method further comprises:
receiving, by the terminal device based on the token information, subscription information of the first service from the IoT server, wherein the first service information is communicated with the IoT server based on the subscription information and the token information.

8 . An electronic device, comprising:
one or more processors; a memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing programming instructions for execution by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
communicating, based on token information, first service information of a first service with an Internet of things (IoT) server corresponding to the first service, wherein the token information is obtained from the IoT server by the electronic device after performing authentication with the IoT server based on only user information of the electronic device, and wherein the token information is used by the electronic device to communicate with the IoT server without transmitting device information of the IoT terminal device to the IoT server; and
communicating second service information of the first service with an IoT terminal device corresponding to the first service, wherein the second service information is associated with the first service information, and wherein the user information of the electronic device is same as user information of the IoT terminal device.

9 . The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the second service information of the first service is communicated with the IoT terminal device through a soft bus channel established by the electronic device with the IoT terminal device.

10 . The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprises:
sending, to the IoT terminal device through the soft bus channel, a first query message to query the IoT terminal device for information about the IoT terminal device; and receiving, through the soft bus channel, the information about the IoT terminal device sent by the IoT terminal device based on the first query message.

11 . The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the first service is received by the electronic device from the IoT server based on the token information, and wherein the second service information is sent by the electronic device to a first service port address of the IoT terminal device comprised in the information about the IoT terminal device through the soft bus channel.

12 . The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the information about the IoT terminal device comprises service information and address request information for requesting, from the electronic device, a service port address for the IoT terminal device to report the first service indicated by the service information, and the operations further comprises:
sending a service request message to the IoT terminal device based on the address request information and the service information, wherein the service request message is used to request the IoT terminal device to report the service information of the first service, and the service request message comprises a second service port address for the IoT terminal device to report the first service, wherein the second service information is received by the electronic device through the soft buss channel based on the second service port address, and wherein the first service information is sent by the electronic device to the IoT server based on the token information.

13 . The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the information about the IoT terminal device comprises at least one of a device type, vendor information, or a device name of the IoT terminal device.

14 . The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein after the electronic device obtains the token information from the IoT server, the operations further comprises:
receiving, by the electronic device based on the token information, subscription information of the first service from the IoT server, wherein the first service information is communicated with the IoT server based on the subscription information and the token information.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing pr
