Abstract
A method for controlling a repair of at least one non-autonomic extrinsic self-healing material in an object, the method including: triggering, by a server, at least one sensor element embedded in the at least one non-autonomic extrinsic self-healing material to initiate a testing procedure, receiving a result of the testing procedure, analyzing the result, determining capability information of the sensor element with an inquiry, receiving the capability information, determining a triggering instruction to the sensor element on the basis of the capability information, delivering the triggering instruction to utilize an applicable capability of the sensor element to the sensor element. A server implementing the method and a system are also described.
Claims11
A method for controlling a repair of at least one non-autonomic extrinsic self-healing material in an object, the method comprising:
- triggering, by a server, at least one sensor element embedded in the at least one non-autonomic extrinsic self-healing material to initiate a testing procedure for the at least one non-autonomic extrinsic self-healing material;
- receiving a result of the testing procedure in the server;
- analyzing the result of the testing procedure, in the server;
- determining capability information of the sensor element with an inquiry;
- receiving the capability information in the server;
- determining a triggering instruction to the sensor element in the server based on the capability information;
- and
- delivering, from the server, the triggering instruction to utilize an applicable capability of the sensor element to the sensor element, the triggering instruction delivered to the sensor element triggering a repair process of the self-healing material.
A server for controlling a repair of at least one non-autonomic extrinsic self-healing material in an object, the server comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing at least one portion of computer program code,
- wherein the processor is configured to cause the server at least to:
- trigger at least one sensor element embedded in the at least one non-autonomic extrinsic self-healing material to initiate a testing procedure for the at least one non-autonomic extrinsic self-healing material,
- receive a result of the testing procedure,
- analyze the result of the testing procedure,
- determine capability information of the sensor element with an inquiry,
- receive the capability information,
- determine a triggering instruction to the sensor element based on the capability information, and
- deliver the triggering instruction to utilize an applicable capability of the sensor element to the sensor element, the triggering instruction delivered to the sensor element triggering a repair process of the self-healing material.
A system for controlling a repair of at least one non-autonomic extrinsic self-healing material in an object, the system comprising:
- at least one sensor element embedded in at least one non-autonomic extrinsic self-healing material in an object;
- and
- a server configured at least to:
- trigger the at least one sensor element embedded in the at least one non-autonomic extrinsic self-healing material to initiate a testing procedure, by the at least one sensor element, for the at least one non-autonomic extrinsic self-healing material,
- receive a result of the testing procedure from the at least one sensor element,
- analyze the result of the testing procedure,
- determine capability information of the sensor element with an inquiry,
- receive the capability information,
- determine a triggering instruction to the sensor element based on the capability information, and
- deliver the triggering instruction to utilize an applicable capability of the sensor element to the sensor element, the triggering instruction delivered to the sensor element triggering a repair process of the self-healing material.
