The IoT monitoring module 6 turns on the alarm mode and continuously detects the state of the IoT devices 7a to 7n in the home. At this time, it is found that the IoT device 7a (gas detector) detects that the gas flow is abnormal. Next, the IoT monitoring module 6 sends the push notification message about the alarm (abnormality) of the IoT device 7a to the IoT message notification module 9 via the call ringing IoT control module 5, and the IoT message notification module 9 pushes the message Notification message receiving device 8.

The system described in item 1 of the patent application scope further includes a message receiving device and an IoT message notification module, and the IoT message notification module provides a push broadcast message about the status of the IoT device to the message receiving end Device. The system as described in item 1 of the patent application scope, wherein the incoming call ringing IoT control module has a flow control module, a database processing module and a text-to-speech module, and the flow control module is used to control the data The processing flow of the library processing module or the text to speech module. The system as described in item 1 of the patent application scope, wherein the IoT monitoring module has a flow control module, a database processing module and a correspondence table of IoT devices, and the flow control module is used to control the database processing module Or the processing flow of the IoT device correspondence table. The system as described in item 1 of the patent application scope, wherein the telecommunications network includes a Voice Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) network, a public switched telephone network (PSTN), a public land mobile network (PLMN), or the Internet. A method for monitoring the status of an Internet of Things (IoT) device based on incoming call ringing includes the following steps: the status of at least one IoT device is monitored by an IoT monitoring module; the incoming ringing IoT control module passes the IoT monitoring module through a telecommunications network The group queries the state of the IoT device to convert the state of the IoT device from text to a sound source file; and the call answering module retrieves the sound source file from the call answering IoT control module based on the sound source file The incoming call ringing provides the status of the IoT device. The method as described in item 9 of the patent application scope further includes that the originating device dials the representative number of the IoT device to retrieve the sound source file from the call ringing module, and then plays the call ringing of the sound source file to Provide the status of the IoT device. The method described in item 9 of the patent application scope further includes the IoT device actively responding to the status of the IoT device to the IoT monitoring module, so that the IoT monitoring module notifies the caller to answer the call and the IoT control module actively updates The status of the IoT device. The method as described in item 9 of the patent application scope further includes pressing the physical or virtual dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) button on the spontaneous end device, so that the incoming call ringing IoT control module is based on the dual tone multi-frequency The message of the button confirms the authority of the originator, and then sets the parameters of the IoT device according to the authority of the originator. The method as described in item 12 of the patent application scope, wherein the incoming call ringing IoT control module sets a plurality of parameters of the same IoT device according to the authority of the originator. The method described in item 9 of the patent application scope further includes that when the IoT monitoring module queries the status of the IoT device as abnormal, the incoming call ringing IoT control module issues an alarm of the status of the IoT device, and then The alarm of the status of the IoT device notifies the message receiving device with a push broadcast message. The method described in item 9 of the patent application scope further includes enabling the passcode receiving management mode of the IoT device, so that the IoT monitoring module responds to the passcode to the IoT device.
