Active intervention in service-to-device mapping for smart items
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- initiating a deployment of a service onto a device of a sensor network on which a plurality of services are deployed;
determining that a deployment condition associated with the deployment does not meet an allowable deployment condition for the deployment;
altering the deployment condition to obtain a modified deployment condition; and
deploying the service onto the device, based on the modified deployment condition.

Abstract
Systems and methods allow service-to-device mapping by which services are mapped onto best-suited smart items selected from a plurality of smart items of a sensor network. As part of the mapping, and/or subsequent thereto, a deployment of the service(s) onto the smart items is initiated. However, in some cases, the deployment may fail, or may only partially succeed. In such cases, one or more conditions of the deployment may be altered to obtain a modified, allowable deployment condition, so that the deployment may then proceed. As a result, users may achieve a desired result in a fast, convenient, and reliable manner, even when executing the deployment remotely or automatically.

13. A system comprising:
-
a system monitor operable to monitor a plurality of devices of a sensor network, and operable to determine device metadata associated with at least one of the plurality of devices; and
a service mapper operable to initiate a deployment of a service onto the at least one device, based on the device metadata and on service metadata associated with the service, and operable to alter a deployment condition associated with the deployment to obtain a modified deployment condition, based on a determination that the deployment condition does not meet an allowable deployment condition. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A service mapper for a sensor network, the service mapper comprising:
-
a mapping system that is operable to initiate a deployment of a service onto at least one device of the sensor network, based on a deployment condition, the mapping system being further operable to determine that the deployment condition does not meet an allowable deployment condition; and
one or more of requirement reduction logic, network reconfiguration logic, or component removal logic that is operable to provide the mapping system with criteria for altering the deployment condition to obtain a modified deployment condition that satisfies the allowable deployment condition. - View Dependent Claims (20)
