ALERT-DRIVEN DYNAMIC SENSOR-DATA SUB-CONTRACTING

摘要

An interface mechanism in a system receives an alert associated with an environment. In response to the alert, a control mechanism in the system identifies an environmental monitoring device within the environment, where the environmental monitoring device provides sensor data that represents an environmental condition in the environment. Moreover, the control mechanism: provides, via the interface mechanism, a service offer to an electronic device associated with an entity associated with the environment, where the service offer includes information associated with the environmental condition. After receiving a response from the electronic device that authorizes the service, the control mechanism provides, via the interface mechanism, a data request for the sensor data to the environmental monitoring device. Furthermore, after receiving the sensor data from the environmental monitoring device, the control mechanism provides the service to the entity based on the environmental condition.

1. A system, comprising:
an interface mechanism configured to communicate with electronic devices; a control mechanism, coupled to the interface mechanism, configured to:
receive, via the interface mechanism, an alert associated with an environment;identify an environmental monitoring device within the environment in response to the alert, wherein the environmental monitoring device provides sensor data that represents an environmental condition in the environment, and wherein the environmental monitoring device is associated with an entity that is different from a second entity associated with the system;provide, via the interface mechanism, a service offer to an electronic device associated with a third entity associated with the environment, wherein the service offer includes information associated with the environmental condition, and where the third entity is different from the entity and the second entity;receive, via the interface mechanism, a response to the service offer from the electronic device, wherein the response authorizes a service;provide, via the interface mechanism, a data request for the sensor data to the environmental monitoring device;receive, via the interface mechanism, the sensor data from the environmental monitoring device in response to the data request; andprovide the service to the third entity based on the environmental condition.
