Abstract
For aggregating items in a collaborative item database, an apparatus includes one or more servers. Each server includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code generates first item data that includes a first item identifier and a first item location from environment data received from a first ubiquitous computer. The code further aggregates the first item data in the collaborative item database. The collaborative item database includes item data from a plurality of ubiquitous computers.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more servers hosting a collaborative database, each server comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory that stores code executable by the processor, the code comprising:
- code that generates first item data comprising a first item identifier and a first item location from environment data received from a first ubiquitous computer;
- and
- code that aggregates the first item data in the collaborative database, wherein the collaborative database comprises item data from a plurality of ubiquitous computers.
A method comprising:
- generating, by use of a processor, first item data comprising a first item identifier and a first item location from environment data received from a first ubiquitous computer;
- and
- aggregating the first item data in a collaborative database, wherein the collaborative database comprises item data from a plurality of ubiquitous computers.
A program product comprising a computer readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to perform:
- generating first item data comprising a first item identifier and a first item location from environment data received from a first ubiquitous computer;
- and
- aggregating the first item data in a collaborative database, wherein the collaborative database comprises item data from a plurality of ubiquitous computers.
