Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems are disclosed for an M2M Interest Function. An M2M Interest Function may receive requests from users to publish the users' personal interests in particular data identify relationships and patterns in the data. Associated data may then be stored in a single best location for such data based on various criteria rather than on separate M2M Gateways or M2M Servers. This location may be provided to users interested in such data. Relationship and association data may be provided to M2M gateways.
Claims20
A method for use by a server connected to a network, wherein the server comprises a processor and memory, and wherein the server further includes computer-executable instructions stored in the memory which, when executed by the processor, perform functions of an interest server in the network, the method comprising:
- receiving, via the network, indications of interest for data from devices operatively connected to the network, and
- determining, using the received indications, a location in the network at which to store data for more than one application.
A method for use by a server connected to a network, wherein the server comprises a processor and memory, and wherein the server further includes computer-executable instructions stored in the memory which, when executed by the processor, perform functions of an interest server in the network, the method comprising:
- determining a preferred location for data from multiple applications, the data currently stored at multiple locations;
- and
- requesting to at least one of the multiple locations that the data be stored on the preferred location.
A method for use by a device connected to a network, wherein the device comprises a processor and memory, and wherein the device further includes computer-executable instructions stored in the memory which, when executed by the processor, perform functions of the device, the method comprising:
- requesting from an interest server an indication of a storage location of data;
- receiving the indication of the storage location from the interest server.
- requesting data from the storage location;
- and
- receiving the data from the storage location.
A server comprising a processor, a memory, and communication circuitry, the server being connected to a communications network via its communication circuitry, the server further including computer-executable instructions stored in the memory of the server which, when executed by the processor of the server, cause the server to:
- receive, via the network, indications of interest for data from devices operatively connected to the network, and
- determine, using the received indications, a location in the network at which to store data for more than one application.
A server comprising a processor, a memory, and communication circuitry, the server being connected to a communications network via its communication circuitry, the server further including computer-executable instructions stored in the memory of the server which, when executed by the processor of the server, cause the server to:
- determine a preferred location for data from multiple applications, the data currently stored at multiple locations;
- and
- request to at least one of the multiple locations that the data be stored on the preferred location.
A device comprising a processor, a memory, and communication circuitry, the server being connected to a communications network via its communication circuitry, the device further including computer-executable instructions stored in the memory of the device which, when executed by the processor of the device, cause the device to:
- request from an interest server an indication of a storage location of data;
- receive the indication of the storage location from the interest server.
- request data from the storage location;
- and
- receive the data from the storage location.
