Abstract
Techniques for integrating device functionality into a composition of telecommunication service are provided. The techniques include using a service specification to generate a composition, wherein the composition comprises one or more telecommunication network blocks, one or more non-telecommunication blocks, and one or more place holders for device functionality, and integrating device functionality into the composition based on a target device.
Claims20
A method for integrating device functionality into a composition of telecommunication service, comprising the steps of:
- using a service specification to generate a composition, wherein the composition comprises one or more telecommunication network blocks, one or more non-telecommunication blocks, and one or more place holders for device functionality;
- integrating device functionality into the composition based on a target device;
- and
- exposing device functionality, carried out by a device proxy model module executing on a hardware processor, wherein the device proxy model module:
- hides device heterogeneity by exposing a consistent interface across one or more device platforms;
- and
- enables integration into one or more existing application development environments.
A computer program product comprising a tangible computer readable recordable storage medium including computer useable program code for integrating device functionality into a composition of telecommunication service which, when implemented, cause a computer to carry out a plurality of method steps comprising:
- using a service specification to generate a composition, wherein the composition comprises one or more telecommunication network blocks, one or more non-telecommunication blocks, and one or more place holders for device functionality;
- integrating device functionality into the composition based on a target device;
- and
- exposing device functionality, carried out by a device proxy model module executing on a hardware processor, wherein the device proxy model module:
- hides device heterogeneity by exposing a consistent interface across one or more device platforms;
- and
- enables integration into one or more existing application development environments.
A system for integrating device functionality into a composition of telecommunication service, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and operative to:
- use a service specification to generate a composition, wherein the composition comprises one or more telecommunication network blocks, one or more non-telecommunication blocks, and one or more place holders for device functionality;
- integrate device functionality into the composition based on a target device;
- and
- expose device functionality, carried out by a device proxy model module executing on a hardware processor, wherein the device proxy model module:
- hides device heterogeneity by exposing a consistent interface across one or more device platforms;
- and
- enables integration into one or more existing application development environments.
