PERCEPTORS AND METHODS PERTAINING THERETO

摘要

A distributed system in a data network for processing real time data streams from multiple data sources includes perceptors accessible over the data network each being configured to perform a specific task. Each perceptor receives one or more of the real time data streams and provides an output data stream indicative of the results of performing the specific task. In addition, the distributed system includes also multiple applications accessible over the data network. Each application is configured to receive one or more of the output data streams of the perceptors and each application is configured to provide a response based on analyzing the received output data streams of the perceptors. The distributed system also includes a stream server accessible over the data network. The stream server receives the real time data streams and is configured to provide any of the received real time data streams to any of the perceptors.

1. A distributed system in a data network for processing real time data streams from a plurality of data sources, comprising:
a plurality of perceptors accessible over the data network each being configured to perform a specific task, each perceptor receiving one or more of the real time data streams and providing an output data stream indicative of the results of performing the specific task; a plurality of applications accessible over the data network each being configured to receive one or more of the output data streams of the perceptors and each being configured to provide a response based on analyzing the received output data streams of the perceptors; and a stream server accessible over the data network, the stream server receiving the real time data streams and being configured to provide any of the received real time data streams to any of the perceptors.
