Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for an Internet of Things (IoT) device registry are provided. An apparatus for an IoT device registry includes a property-monitoring circuit structured to generate a query for device property data for an IoT device to an IoT device registrar server; interpret the device property data received from the IoT device registrar server to determine whether there is a change in the device property data; if the property-monitoring circuit determines that there is a change in the device property data, generate a notification of the change; and transmit the notification of the change to the IoT device registrar server.

Claims (35)

1 . An apparatus, comprising:

a property-monitoring circuit structured to:

generate a query for device property data for an Internet of Things (IoT) device to an IoT device registrar server;

interpret the device property data received from the IoT device registrar server to determine whether there is a change in the device property data;

if the property-monitoring circuit determines that there is a change in the device property data, generate a notification of the change; and

transmit the notification of the change to the IoT device registrar server.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the query is initiated by at least one of: the device, a user of the device, a seller of the device, a purchaser of the device, a manufacturer of the device, or the IoT device registrar server.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the change is determined by analyzing historical device property data.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the determining that the device has reached end-of-life comprises receiving a user input indicating that the device has reached end-of-life.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the determining that the device has reached end-of-life comprises receiving a security notification indicating a device decommissioning.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the determining that the device has reached end-of-life comprises receiving a decommission notification indicating a device decommissioning.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a display circuit structured to display the notification of the change.

8 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the display circuit comprises a Single Pane of Glass (SPG) display circuit included in an SPG system.

9 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the SPG system comprises a graphical user interface.

10 . A method, comprising:

generating a query for device property data for an Internet of Things (IoT) device to an IoT device registrar server;

interpreting the device property data received from the IoT device registrar server to determine whether there is a change in the device property data;

if it is determined that there is a change in the device property data, generating a notification of the change; and

transmitting the notification of the change to the IoT device registrar server.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the query is initiated by at least one of: the device, a user of the device, a seller of the device, a purchaser of the device, a manufacturer of the device, or the IoT device registrar server.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the change is determined by analyzing historical device property data.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the change comprises a security event.

14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the determining that the device has reached end-of-life comprises receiving a user input indicating that the device has reached end-of-life.

15 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising generating a quarantine value indicating that a device should be quarantined.

16 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising generating a security value indicating that a device may be subject to a security event.

17 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising generating an ownership notification indicating that an ownership value corresponding to the device has changed.

18 . A method, comprising:

determining that a device has reached end-of-life;

generating a query for Internet of Things Universal Identification (IoT UID) data corresponding to the device to an IoT device registrar server;

interpreting IoT UID data received from the IoT device registrar server to identify a set of IoT UIDs corresponding to the device;

identifying a first UID list comprising a first subset of the set of IoT UIDs to be reused;

identifying a second UID list comprising a second subset of the set of IoT UIDs, different from the first subset, to be retired; and

transmitting the first UID list and the second UID list to the IoT device registrar server.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein either of the first subset or the second subset of the set of IoT UIDs is an empty subset.

20 . The method of claim 18 , further comprising storing the second UID list, comprising the second subset of the set of IoT UIDs to be retired in a global retired UID registry, in the IoT device registrar server.
