Aggregating and filtering data from mobile devices

An apparatus for aggregating data from movable devices, wherein each of the movable devices comprises at least one sensor, wherein each of the movable devices is capable of performing filtering processing, and wherein the apparatus comprises:

• a hardware receiver for receiving data from multiple movable devices, wherein each datum from the data is generated by at least one sensor within a movable device from the multiple movable devices;
• a first hardware determining device for determining, based on received data from the multiple movable devices, whether at least two movable devices from the multiple movable devices are mutually related;
• a second hardware determining device for determining, based on received data from the multiple movable devices, whether the received data from different sensors are mutually related;
• and
• a filtering hardware device for filtering at least a part of the data from the multiple movable devices judged to be mutually related and that was generated by sensors that are mutually related according to shared attributes of the multiple movable devices and the sensors in the multiple movable devices.

A computer program product for aggregating data from multiple movable devices, wherein each of the multiple movable devices comprises at least one sensor, wherein each of the multiple movable devices is capable of performing filtering processing, wherein the computer program product comprises a computer readable medium having program code embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, and wherein the program code is readable and executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:

• receiving data from the multiple movable devices, wherein each datum from the data is generated by at least one sensor within a movable device from the multiple movable devices;
• determining, based on received data from the multiple movable devices, whether at least two movable devices from the multiple movable devices are mutually related;
• determining, based on received data from the multiple movable devices, whether the received data from different sensors are mutually related;
• and
• filtering at least a part of the data from the multiple movable devices judged to be mutually related and that was generated by sensors that are mutually related according to shared attributes of the multiple movable devices and the sensors in the multiple movable devices.
