Context information collection system, processing method thereof, and program storage medium storing program thereof
First Claim
1. A system for collecting context information, said system being capable of communicating with a sensor which receives a target identifier transmitted from a target device identified by the target identifier, said system comprising:
- an originator for collecting the target identifier received by the sensor and for transmitting a first information related to the collected target identifiers;
a subscriber for searching for a first desired target identifier; and
a concentrator for finding, upon receiving an order from the subscriber, the first desired target identifier among from the target identifiers collected by the originator and for notifying the subscriber of a specific originator which collected the first desired target identifier;
whereinthe subscriber orders the specific originator to find a second desired target identifier.

Abstract
A subscriber notifies a concentrator of a desired target identifier. An originator collects target identifiers received by a sensor which receives a target identifier transmitted from a target device. The originator transmits the collected target identifiers to the concentrator. The concentrator notifies the subscriber of the originator when the target identifiers transmitted from the originator includes the desired target identifier. The subscriber notifies the originator of a specification. The originator transmits a message to the subscriber in accordance with the specification, the message including the desired target identifier and other target identifiers received at about the same time as the desired target identifier.

9. A method for collecting context information, said method being executed by a system comprising a subscriber, a concentrator, and an originator, said system being capable of communicating with a sensor which receives a target identifier transmitted from a target device identified by the target identifier, said method comprising:
-
a first ordering step in which the subscriber transmits a first condition prescribing a first desired target identifier to the concentrator; a collecting step in which the originator collects the target identifier received by the sensor; an informing step in which the originator transmits a first target identifier included in the collected target identifiers to the concentrator; and a checking step in which the concentrator determines whether the first target identifier satisfies the first condition. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A program storage medium readable by a computer system, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the computer system to perform method steps of a method for collecting context information, said computer system comprising a subscriber, a concentrator, and an originator, said computer system being capable of communicating with a sensor which receives a target identifier transmitted from a target device identified by the target identifier, said method comprising:
-
a first ordering step in which the subscriber transmits a first condition prescribing a first desired target identifier to the concentrator; a collecting step in which the originator collects the target identifier received by the sensor; an informing step in which the originator transmits a first target identifier included in the collected target identifiers to the concentrator; and a checking step in which the concentrator determines whether the first target identifier satisfies the first condition. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
