Utilizing a profile to prevent recurring events from being transmitted to the event processing device that are not necessary to be processed by event processing device

摘要

A method, system and computer program product for efficiently utilizing resources in processing recurring events. Recurring events from one or more event type sources (heart rate monitor) sensed by various sensors are detected. An event type (e.g., heart rate data) for each detected recurring event is identified. A user profile associated with the identified event type is then analyzed to determine whether the associated sensed recurring event is to be transmitted to the event processing device. The user profile contains a set of conditions which need to be satisfied before the recurring event is transmitted to the event processing device. If the set of conditions in the user profile is not satisfied, then the recurring event is not transmitted to the event processing device. In this manner, by not transmitting the recurring event, power and consumption utilization are reduced for both the event emitting device and the event processing device.

1. A method for efficiently utilizing resources in processing recurring events, the method comprising:
detecting recurring events from one or more event type sources sensed by a plurality of sensors, wherein said recurring events are events that occur again after an interval of time has elapsed; identifying, by a processor, an event type for each detected recurring event; analyzing, by said processor, a user profile associated with said identified event type to determine whether associated sensed recurring event is to be transmitted to an event processing device, wherein said user profile comprises a set of conditions which need to be satisfied before a recurring event is transmitted to said event processing device; and transmitting said recurring event to said event processing device in response to satisfying said set of conditions.
