Abstract
A cloud computing messaging system for location-based searching for Internet of Things (IoT) devices includes data processors, a receiver, and a transmitter. The system includes a storage medium containing instructions for the processors to receive a communication from a first IoT device connected with the system using a first protocol. The communication includes a location query and is received using the first protocol. The processors determine a second IoT device having a location that matches the location query. The second IoT device is connectable using a second protocol. The processors transmit information to the first IoT device related to the second IoT device and is transmitted using the first protocol. The processors receive a transmission from the first IoT device for the second IoT device using the first protocol, translate the transmission to the second protocol, and transmit the translated transmission to the second IoT device using the second protocol.
