Abstract

A target device executes a target application programming interface (API), and a client device executes a client API that generates and/or collects data. The client device determines that at least a portion of the data collected by the client API is to be sent from the client API to the target API. In response to this determination, target configuration information is received. The target configuration information includes one or both of software properties of software executed on the target device and hardware properties of the target device. The client device determines that a data transfer change is needed for receipt of the portion of the data by the target API. In response to determining that the data transfer change is needed, the data transfer change is automatically implemented. The portion of the data is then sent to the target API.

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

a target device comprising a processor configured to execute a target application programming interface (API);
and
a client device comprising a processor configured to:
execute a first client API, wherein the first client API is configured to collect data from a data source;
determine that at least a portion of the data collected by the first client API is to be sent from the first client API to the target API;
in response to determining that the portion of the collected data is to be sent from the first client API to the target API:
receive target configuration information comprising one or both of software properties of software executed on the target device and hardware properties of the target device, wherein the software properties are associated with one or more tasks to be performed by the target API, wherein the hardware properties include a measure of computational resources allocated to the target API;
determine, based on the target configuration information, that a data transfer change is needed for receipt of the portion of the data by the target API, wherein the data transfer change comprises one or more of a change to the portion of data to be transferred, a configuration of the first client API, and a configuration of the target API;
and
in response to determining that the data transfer change is needed for receipt of the portion of the data by the target API, automatically implement the data transfer change;
and
following implementation of the data transfer change, send the portion of the data to the target API.

A method comprising:

executing a first client application programming interface (API), wherein the first client API is configured to collect data from a data source;
determining that at least a portion of the data collected by the first client API is to be sent from the first client API to a target API executed on a target device;
in response to determining that the portion of the collected data is to be sent from the first client API to the target API:
receiving target configuration information comprising one or both of software properties of software executed on the target device and hardware properties of the target device, wherein the software properties are associated with one or more tasks to be performed by the target API, wherein the hardware properties include a measure of computational resources allocated to the target API;
determining, based on the target configuration information, that a data transfer change is needed for receipt of the portion of the data by the target API, wherein the data transfer change comprises one or more of a change to the portion of data to be transferred, a configuration of the first client API, and a configuration of the target API;
and
in response to determining that the data transfer change is needed for receipt of the portion of the data by the target API, automatically implementing the data transfer change;
and
following implementation of the data transfer change, sending the portion of the data to the target API.
