Sensor information management system, sensor information management method, and computer-readable storage medium

A sensor information management method executed by a computer communicating with another computer including a plurality of sensors and that provides services using data presented by at least one of the plurality of sensors, comprising:

• recording in a first memory the information about each of the plurality of sensors as sensor profile information representing each of items;
• recording in a second memory the information about data requested from the another computer to the sensor, as sensor request information representing each of the items, to offer the service;
• recording in a third memory the scenario data indicating the operation of at least a part of the plurality of sensors;
• extracting data indicating a set of a service and a sensor for providing data requested to provide the service by comparing at least a part of items of the sensor profile information with a corresponding item in the sensor request information;
• determining an operation of the sensor providing data requested to offer the service with respect to the set of the service and the sensor indicated by the extracted data based on the sensor profile information and the sensor request information;
• recording in the third memory the determined operation of the sensor included in the scenario data;
• generating a control signal for allowing each of the sensors to perform an operation of each sensor indicated by the scenario data recorded in the third memory, and transmitting the control signal to each sensor;
• and
• converting data provided by the sensor into data requested by the service with respect to the set of the service and the sensor.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an information management program for causing a computer to communicate with another computer including a plurality of sensors and that provides services using data presented by at least one of the plurality of sensors, the program causing the computer to perform the process comprising:

• recording in a first memory the information about each of the plurality of sensors as sensor profile information representing each of the items;
• recording in a second memory the information about data requested from the another computer to the sensor, as sensor request information representing each of the items, to offer the service;
• recording in a third memory the scenario data indicating the operation of at least a part of the plurality of sensors;
• extracting data indicating a set of a service and a sensor for providing data requested to provide the service by comparing at least a part of items of the sensor profile information with a corresponding item in the sensor request information;
• determining an operation of the sensor providing data requested to offer the service with respect to the set of the service and the sensor indicated by the extracted data based on the sensor profile information and the sensor request information, and recording in the third memory the determined operation of the sensor included in the scenario data;
• generating a control signal for allowing each of the sensors to perform an operation of each sensor indicated by the scenario data recorded in the third memory, and transmitting the control signal to each sensor;
• and
• converting data provided by the sensor into data requested by the service with respect to the set of the service.
