Abstract

An information processing apparatus operates as an IoTSP 1 (corresponding to an example of “first IoTSP”) that provides a service for causing a user to acquire sensor data. The information processing apparatus includes a communication unit that executes communication with another IoTSP (corresponding to an example of “second IoTSP other than the first IoTSP”) and a control unit that searches the sensor data corresponding to an acquisition request of the user via an application and responds to the user with the searched sensor data. The control unit searches the sensor data from the other IoTSP via the communication unit based on an identifier of the other IoTSP included in the acquisition request and policy information indicating propriety of information sharing between the IoTSPs and uses a protocol interface including the same procedure as a procedure between the application and IoTSP1 when searching the sensor data.

Dependent claims

An information processing apparatus that operates as a first Service Provider (SP), the information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory;
and
a processor configured to
search for subject data corresponding to an acquisition request of a user via an application;
and
respond to the user with the subject data, wherein
the processor searches for the subject data from a second SP other than the first SP based on:
an identifier of the second SP included in the acquisition request;
and
policy information indicating propriety of information sharing between the first SP and the second SP,
when searching for the subject data, the processor uses a protocol interface including a same procedure as a procedure between the application and the first SP,
the processor executes the same procedure in accordance with a query language,
each of the first SP and the second SP includes:
a first database that stores configuration information of the SP;
and
a second database that stores the subject data managed by each of the first SP and the second SP, and
the processor is further configured to:
inquire the first database and the second database in accordance with the query language, and
acquire the subject data from the second SP via a third SP other than the first SP and the second SP, the third SP being connected between the first SP and the second SP.
