Abstract
Data includes key-value pairs that include numerical keys and numerical values. Each key represents a level of service associated with a data source and client terminals. The respective value represents availability or demand for the level of service. Data from different data sources is consolidated into consolidated data by summing values for each key. A consolidated indicator is determined for the consolidated data by computing an average key and an aggregate duration of keys of the consolidated data. The consolidated indicator is outputted for access to the client terminals via a wide-area computer network to allow the client terminals to use the consolidated indicator to configure respective data communications with different data sources.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- establishing data connections to a plurality of different data sources via a wide-area computer network, wherein the plurality of different data sources serves a plurality of client terminals via the wide-area computer network;
- requesting respective data from each of the plurality of different data sources via the wide-area computer network, wherein the respective data includes key-value pairs that include numerical keys and numerical values, wherein each key represents a level of service associated with a data source and the plurality of client terminals, and the respective value represents availability or demand for the level of service;
- receiving the respective data from each of the plurality of different data sources via the wide-area computer network;
- consolidating the respective data into consolidated data by summing values for each key;
- determining a consolidated indicator for the consolidated data by computing an average key and an aggregate duration of keys of the consolidated data;
- and
- outputting the consolidated indicator for access to the plurality of client terminals via the wide-area computer network to allow the plurality of client terminals to use the consolidated indicator to configure respective data communications with the plurality of different data sources.
A device comprising:
- a network interface configured to provide data connections to a plurality of different data sources via a wide-area computer network, wherein the plurality of different data sources serves a plurality of client terminals via the wide-area computer network;
- a processor connected to the network interface, the processor configured to:
- request respective data from each of the plurality of different data sources via the wide-area computer network, wherein the respective data includes key-value pairs that include numerical keys and numerical values, wherein each key represents a level of service associated with a data source and the plurality of client terminals, and the respective value represents availability or demand for the level of service;
- receive the respective data from each of the plurality of different data sources via the wide-area computer network;
- consolidate the respective data into consolidated data by summing values for each key;
- determine a consolidated indicator for the consolidated data by computing an average key and an aggregate duration of keys of the consolidated data;
- and
- output the consolidated indicator for access to the plurality of client terminals via the wide-area computer network to allow the plurality of client terminals to use the consolidated indicator to configure respective data communications with the plurality of different data sources.
