<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sensor network operating method with which various applications adaptable to system changes or performance enhancement can be easily supported at a low cost. <P>SOLUTION: The method of the present invention comprises a plurality of nodes 20-24 and at least one resource 26, 27, where a resource can be a sensing device (e.g., a camera or microphone) or other peripheral devices (e.g., a storage or recording system). At least one node in a network determines at least one resource available to it and the type of the resource or its capabilities. On the basis of the type of the resource, the node is associated with one or more logical node names and acquires instructions for performing at least one function. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
