1. A method for obtaining a map of an Internet of Things (IoT) device, performed by a first device with a camera and being moveable, the method comprising:
determining a map of an area; and
transmitting the map to a control system for controlling one or more IoT devices;
wherein the method further comprises:
determining one or more objects with each having a first identification in the area as the one or more IoT devices, wherein the first identification indicates that an object provided with the first identification is an IoT device;
determining attribute information of each of the one or more IoT devices according to a second identification on each of the one or more IoT devices, wherein the second identification indicates attribute information of an object provided with the second identification; and
determining location information of each of the one or more IoT devices in the map,
wherein transmitting the map to the control system for controlling the one or more IoT devices comprises:
generating location identifications in the map according to the location information;
establishing an association relationship between the location identifications and the attribute information; and
transmitting the map comprising the location identifications to the control system for controlling the one or more IoT devices, so that the control system for controlling the one or more IoT devices determines the location information and the attribute information of the IoT devices in the map according to the location identifications.
