Abstract

An intermediate device, an IoT terminal and a method of the IoT terminal accessing the IoT platform are disclosed. The method comprises: acquiring feature information of at least one of the IoT terminal or the intermediate device; determining whether the acquired feature information satisfies a preset condition; deciding, according to the determination, whether the IoT terminal accesses the IoT platform through the intermediate device.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein acquiring the feature information of at least one of the IoT terminal or the intermediate device and determining whether the acquired feature information satisfies the preset condition comprises:

acquiring, by the IoT terminal, the feature information of the IoT terminal; and

determining, by the IoT terminal, whether the feature information of the IoT terminal satisfies the preset condition related to the IoT terminal.

6. The method according to claim 3 , wherein, in response to determining that the acquired feature information satisfies the preset condition, allowing the IoT terminal to access the IoT platform through the intermediate device comprises:

sending, by the IoT terminal, a connection establishment request to the intermediate device; and

accessing, by the IoT terminal, the IoT platform through the intermediate device after the IoT terminal receives a connection establishment response returned from the intermediate device.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein acquiring the feature information of at least one of the IoT terminal or the intermediate device and determining whether the acquired feature information satisfies the preset condition comprises:

acquiring, by the intermediate device, the feature information of the intermediate device; and
