A policy control method for one or more terminal peripherals, comprising: a Machine-to-Machine/Man, M2M, gateway executing one or more terminal peripheral control operations for one or more terminal peripherals according to a transaction trigger condition of policy definition; wherein executing the one or more terminal peripheral control operations for the one or more terminal peripherals comprises: the M2M gateway determining whether the M2M gateway currently has one or more operations belonging to a same type as the one or more operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals; if the M2M gateway currently has not any operation belonging to the same type, then the M2M gateway storing the one or more terminal peripheral control operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals, and transmitting to the one or more terminal peripherals the one or more terminal peripheral control operations, for the one or more terminal peripherals to parse operation information contained in received one or more terminal peripheral control operations and execute operations indicated by the operation information; and if the M2M gateway currently has one or more operations belonging to the same type, then the M2M gateway processing the one or more terminal peripheral control operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals according to priorities among operations; wherein the M2M gateway processing the one or more terminal peripheral control operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals according to the priorities among operations comprises: in the case that the priority of the one or more operations belonging to the same type as the one or more terminal peripheral control operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals is not higher than the priority of the one or more terminal peripheral control operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals, the M2M gateway using the one or more terminal peripheral control operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals to replace the one or more operations belonging to the same type, otherwise discarding the one or more terminal peripheral control operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals. a Machine-to-Machine/Man, M2M, gateway executing one or more terminal peripheral control operations for one or more terminal peripherals according to a transaction trigger condition of policy definition; wherein executing the one or more terminal peripheral control operations for the one or more terminal peripherals comprises: the M2M gateway determining whether the M2M gateway currently has one or more operations belonging to a same type as the one or more operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals; if the M2M gateway currently has not any operation belonging to the same type, then the M2M gateway storing the one or more terminal peripheral control operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals, and transmitting to the one or more terminal peripherals the one or more terminal peripheral control operations, for the one or more terminal peripherals to parse operation information contained in received one or more terminal peripheral control operations and execute operations indicated by the operation information; and if the M2M gateway currently has one or more operations belonging to the same type, then the M2M gateway processing the one or more terminal peripheral control operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals according to priorities among operations; wherein the M2M gateway processing the one or more terminal peripheral control operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals according to the priorities among operations comprises: in the case that the priority of the one or more operations belonging to the same type as the one or more terminal peripheral control operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals is not higher than the priority of the one or more terminal peripheral control operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals, the M2M gateway using the one or more terminal peripheral control operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals to replace the one or more operations belonging to the same type, otherwise discarding the one or more terminal peripheral control operations to be executed for the one or more terminal peripherals.
