Abstract
First sensor data generated by a first of a plurality of sensors and at least second sensor data generated by at least a second of the plurality of sensors can be received by a sensor data broker executed by a processor. The sensor data broker can publish to at least a first virtual sensor the first sensor data as first published sensor data. The sensor data broker can publish to at least a second virtual sensor the second sensor data as second published sensor data.
Claims9
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a sensor data broker, first sensor data generated by a first plurality of sensors and second sensor data generated by a second plurality of sensors;
- publishing, by the sensor data broker and to a first virtual sensor, the first sensor data as first published sensor data;
- and
- publishing, by the sensor data broker and to a second virtual sensor, the second sensor data as second published sensor data, wherein
- each of the virtual sensors are a data structure that
- receives sensor data generated by one or more sensors,
- converts or combines the sensor data, and
- provides a corresponding output;
- and
- the first virtual sensor merges at least a portion of the first published sensor data and at least a portion of the second published sensor data and publishes merged published sensor data as fourth published sensor data in a manner that makes the fourth published sensor data appear to be generated by a single sensor that senses absolute value or a change in quantity.
A computer hardware system, comprising:
- a hardware processor configured to initiate the following executable operations:
- receiving, by a sensor data broker, first sensor data generated by a first plurality of sensors and second sensor data generated by a second plurality of sensors;
- publishing, by the sensor data broker and to a first virtual sensor, the first sensor data as first published sensor data;
- and
- publishing, by the sensor data broker and to a second virtual sensor, the second sensor data as second published sensor data, wherein
- each of the virtual sensors are a data structure that
- receives sensor data generated by one or more sensors,
- converts or combines the sensor data, and
- provides a corresponding output;
- and
- the first virtual sensor merges at least a portion of the first published sensor data and at least a portion of the second published sensor data and publishes merged published sensor data as fourth published sensor data in a manner that makes the fourth published sensor data appear to be generated by a single sensor that senses absolute value or a change in quantity.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having program code stored therein,
- the program code, which when executed by a computer hardware system, causes the computer hardware system to perform:
- receiving, by a sensor data broker, first sensor data generated by a first plurality of sensors and second sensor data generated by a second plurality of sensors;
- publishing, by the sensor data broker and to a first virtual sensor, the first sensor data as first published sensor data;
- and
- publishing, by the sensor data broker and to a second virtual sensor, the second sensor data as second published sensor data, wherein
- each of the virtual sensors are a data structure that
- receives sensor data generated by one or more sensors,
- converts or combines the sensor data, and
- provides a corresponding output;
- and
- the first virtual sensor merges at least a portion of the first published sensor data and at least a portion of the second published sensor data and publishes merged published sensor data as fourth published sensor data in a manner that makes the fourth published sensor data appear to be generated by a single sensor that senses absolute value or a change in quantity.
