Abstract
A method, computer system, and a computer program product for mapping is provided. The present invention may include locating an asset using an unmanned vehicle (UV), where the asset include a sensor device that is not mapped to the asset. The present invention may also include recording, using the UV, a sensor identifier of the sensor device. The present invention may include recording a location of the sensor device based on determining a location of the UV when the sensor device is detected. The present invention may further include registering the recorded sensor identifier of the sensor device with the asset to map the sensor device to the asset.
Claims18
A computer implemented method, comprising:
- locating an asset using an unmanned vehicle (UV), wherein the located asset includes a sensor device having a specific device location in proximity of the located asset;
- recording, using the UV, a sensor identifier of the sensor device at a first timestamp;
- in response to querying a device registry using the recorded sensor identifier, determining that the sensor device is not mapped to the located asset;
- determining the specific device location of the determined sensor device that is not mapped to the asset based on a location of the UV at the first timestamp;
- and
- registering the recorded sensor identifier of the determined sensor device with the located asset to map the determined sensor device to the determined specific device location in proximity of the located asset.
A computer system for mapping, comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage media, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
- locating an asset using an unmanned vehicle (UV), wherein the located asset includes a sensor device having a specific device location in proximity of the located asset;
- recording, using the UV, a sensor identifier of the sensor device at a first timestamp;
- in response to querying a device registry using the recorded sensor identifier, determining that the sensor device is not mapped to the located asset;
- determining the specific device location of the determined sensor device that is not mapped to the asset based on a location of the UV at the first timestamp;
- and
- registering the recorded sensor identifier of the determined sensor device with the located asset to map the determined sensor device to the determined specific device location in proximity of the located asset.
A computer program product for mapping, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to locate an asset using an unmanned vehicle (UV), wherein the located asset includes a sensor device having a specific device location in proximity of the located asset;
- program instructions to record, using the UV, a sensor identifier of the sensor device at a first timestamp;
- program instructions to in response to querying a device registry using the recorded sensor identifier, determine that the sensor device is not mapped to the located asset;
- program instructions to determine the specific device location of the determined sensor device that is not mapped to the asset based on a location of the UV at the first timestamp;
- and
- program instructions to register the recorded sensor identifier of the determined sensor device with the located asset to map the determined sensor device to the determined specific device location in proximity of the located asset.
