Methods and systems for providing sensor data using a sensor web
First Claim
1. A method for providing sensor data, comprising:
- receiving a request for sensor data, the request including a triggering parameter, wherein the triggering parameter comprises an environmental condition;
searching for information identifying devices that meet the triggering parameter, wherein the devices that meet the triggering parameter are selected from a plurality of item tracking devices;
retrieving the requested sensor data, the requested sensor data corresponding to the devices that meet the triggering parameter; and
returning the requested sensor data.

Abstract
A system and method for providing sensor data may comprise receiving a request for sensor data, the request including a triggering parameter. Furthermore, the system and method for providing sensor data may comprise searching for information identifying devices that meet the triggering parameter. Devices are selected from a plurality of item tracking devices, where the plurality of item tracking devices correspond to a plurality of items. Moreover, the system and method for providing sensor data may retrieve the requested sensor data that corresponds to the devices that meet the triggering parameter, and return the requested sensor data.
