A Hybrid Search Engine Framework for the Internet of Things

Abstract

Efficient retrieval of dynamically generated, spatial-temporal, and heterogeneous sampling data in the Internet of Things is a key challenge in recent years. However, current search engine techniques are not suitable for such kind of data. To solve this problem, we propose a Hybrid Search Engine Technique for the Internet of Things based on Spatial-Temporal, Value-based, and Keyword-based Conditions ("IoT-SVK Search Engine"), in this paper. The IoT-SVK search engine has satisfactory performances in supporting multi-modal retrieval conditions, and thus provides a good solution for real-time searching of massive sampling data in the Internet of Things.
