Abstract

Under the banner of Internet of Things (IOT), mobile service is an important hot research topic. As a part of IOT, embedded systems can offer access to the devices on Internet. For supporting mobile service, one design and implementation solution of embedded Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) system is brought forward for long-distance monitoring and controlling UPS based on IOT. The key insight of our development is that we adopt new idea to realize new application based on new technology of IOT. The target is for mobile service to support pervasive computing paradigm. Our new idea is involved in the developed system which is based on new Arm chips, a set of new ATmega products (such as ATmega 161, ATmega 162), new Network Interface Controller, TCP/IP protocol suite and other software components. In our designed UPS system, an enhanced embedded file system is designed and implemented which saves the data and index information on the chip (such as a serial EEPROM) in structured way and communicates with MCU through I^2C bus. The new file system is embedded in the UPS system. Mobile users can access and manipulate local or remote data on the client side based on IOT. Embedded file system on the chips plays a major role in the growth of IP networking. Based on our experiments, mobile users can easily monitor and control UPS in different places of long-distance. By our experiments and applications, the performance of this kind of new embedded UPS system is satisfied the requirements of all kinds of IOT-based mobile services.
