INTELLIGENT MACHINE-TO-MACHINE (IM2M) RESERVE

摘要

An intelligent machine-to-machine (iM2M) device may collaborate with other reserve devices to perform functions. An iM2M device may determine if it has the necessary resources to respond to a request. Upon determining that the resources needed to provide a response to the request are not available in the iM2M device, the iM2M device may send a help request to other devices, such as a reserve, farm, and/or network (collectively referred to as a farm) of M2M, iM2M devices, and/or other appropriate devices. The iM2M device may negotiate with farm devices so that the farm devices may generate, at least in part, a response to the request, or provide the needed resources, at least in part, to the iM2M device. The farm devices may send respective responses back to the originating iM2M device. The originating iM2M device may, in turn, respond to the original request.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a processor; and memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
receiving a first request;providing a second request, wherein intended recipients of the second request are a plurality of members of a group, the second request comprising a request for an indication of an ability to determine, at least a partial response to the first request;receiving a first response to the second request, wherein:
the first response is indicative of being provided by a member of the plurality of members; andthe first response comprises an indication of an ability to determine at least a partial response to the first request; andproviding at least one of:
a second response comprising instructions to provide, to a provider of the first request, at least a partial response to the first request, wherein, an intended recipient of the second response is a member of the plurality of members; ora third response comprising a request for at least a partial response to the first request, wherein an intended recipient of the third response is a provider of the first response.
