Instantiating an application based on connection with a device via a universal serial bus

摘要

An apparatus for managing telemetry sensor controllers identified by their communication port identifiers is disclosed. The apparatus may include a memory that stores telemetry sensor controller mappings, where a telemetry sensor controller mapping associates an equipment identifier for a telemetry sensor controller with a communication port identifier, and equipment identifier mappings, where an equipment identifier mapping associates an equipment identifier with a telemetry monitoring application. The apparatus may detect a connection with a telemetry sensor controller and receive an equipment identifier. The apparatus may then instantiate a telemetry monitoring application for managing the connected telemetry sensor controller by accessing the plurality of equipment identifier mappings with the received equipment identifier, where the telemetry monitoring application may instruct the connected telemetry sensor controller to perform a requestable operation.

1. An apparatus for managing telemetry sensor controllers, the apparatus comprising:
a memory operative to store:
an equipment identifier mapping that associates a first equipment identifier with a first telemetry monitoring application, andan operation mapping that comprises an association between at least one requestable operation and at least one telemetry monitoring application; and a processor in communication with the memory and configured to:
detect a connection with a first telemetry sensor controller;receive the first equipment identifier from the first telemetry sensor controller;establish a first telemetry sensor controller mapping in the memory for the first telemetry sensor controller, wherein the first telemetry sensor controller mapping is based on the first equipment identifier and a first communication port identifier for a communication port to which the first telemetry sensor controller is connected;instantiate the first telemetry monitoring application for managing the first telemetry sensor controller based on an association of the first telemetry monitoring application with the first equipment identifier, wherein the first telemetry monitoring application is operable to instruct the first telemetry sensor controller to perform a first requestable operation;receive a request from a client device to perform a second requestable operation;instantiate the second telemetry monitoring application associated with the second requestable operation in the operation mapping; andperform the second requestable operation with a second connected telemetry sensor controller managed by the second telemetry monitoring application.
