METHOD FOR COORDINATING A PLURALITY OF SENSORS

摘要

Method for coordinating a plurality of sensors, wherein a plurality of ne tworked computers control the sensors for the purpose of executing one or mo re services requested through the network. In order to coordinate with one a nother, the computers exchange information over the network in a manner such that each networked computer knows the characteristics of and the services executed by the other computers. Subsequently, the computers providing the s ame service execute the same configuration algorithm that defines the tasks to be carried out by each computer as a function of the characteristics of t he computers providing said same service. Thus, the computers get to the sam e conclusions as to the tasks to be carried out, and control the sensors bas ed on the tasks defined by the configuration algorithm.
