Abstract
An interfacing device is configured to process one or more rules, based on sensor data, to perform a predetermined action. During operation, the device can receive a device configuration that includes a rule for the interfacing device. The rule can include an action description for performing an action, and can include a condition that takes sensor data as input and indicates criteria for performing the action. The device can store the rule in a rule repository, and determines a remote interfacing device that generates data associated with the rule's condition. The device can also subscribe to the data from the remote interfacing device.
Claims30
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by an interfacing device, a device configuration that includes a rule for the interfacing device, wherein the rule includes an action description for performing an action, and includes a condition that indicates criteria for performing the action;
- storing the rule in a rule repository;
- determining a remote interfacing device that generates data associated with the rule's condition;
- and
- subscribing to the data from the remote interfacing device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving a device configuration that includes a rule for a local interfacing device, wherein the rule includes an action description for performing an action, and includes a condition that indicates criteria for performing the action;
- determining a remote interfacing device that generates data associated with the rule's condition;
- and
- subscribing to the data from the remote interfacing device.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a communication module to receive a device configuration that includes a rule for a local interfacing device, wherein the rule includes an action description for performing an action, and includes a condition that indicates criteria for performing the action;
- a source-determining module to determine a remote interfacing device that generates data associated with the rule's condition;
- and
- a data-subscription module to subscribe to the data from the remote interfacing device.
