Abstract
In a network of mobile agents, data integrity can be improved by providing an agent server that can migrate between devices operating in the region of interest (ROI). The agent server distributes agent clients onto devices in the ROI and provides agent server services to the agent clients, including receiving and storing data from the agents. When the agent server device is to leave the ROI, the agent server can migrate to any device executing an agent client and continue to provide the agent server services, including data collection and aggregation, from the device to which the agent server has migrated.
Claims18
An agent server device configured to collect measurements from different geographic locations within a Region Of Interest (ROI) and derive data based on content of the measurements, the agent server device comprising:
- a memory device configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processing device configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory device to:
- identify a candidate remote mobile device near a boundary of the ROI, wherein the candidate remote mobile device is configured to run an instance of a client agent distributed by the agent server that facilitates one or more sensors of the remote mobile device to collect at least one of the measurements;
- and
- receive data collected by the instance of the client agent using the one or more sensors of the remote mobile device;
- and derive the data based at least in part on the received data.
A method of collecting measurements from different geographic locations within a Region Of Interest (ROI) and deriving data based on content of the measurements, the method including:
- identifying, by a management device, a candidate remote mobile device near a boundary of the ROI, wherein the candidate remote mobile device is configured to run an instance of a client agent distributed by the agent server that facilitates one or more sensors of the remote mobile device to collect at least one of the measurements;
- and
- receiving data collected by the instance of the client agent using the one or more sensors of the remote mobile device and deriving the data based at least in part on the received data.
