First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of prioritizing alerts on end points, comprising:
- receiving at an aggregator agent that monitors a plurality of end point agents, a signal indicating an out of band operating tolerance from an end point;
determining locally at the aggregator agent a priority of said signal based on a rules engine local to the aggregator agent; and
transmitting said priority of said signal and information associated with said signal to a remote host computer for appropriate handling.

Abstract
A method and system for prioritizing alerts on end points include an aggregator agent that monitors a plurality of end point agents and receives a signal indicating an out of band operating tolerance from an end point. The aggregator agent locally determines the priority of the received signal based on a rules engine local to the aggregator agent. The aggregator agent transmits the priority of said signal and information associated with said signal to a remote host computer for appropriate handling.

8. A method of prioritizing alerts on end points, comprising:
-
establishing an aggregator agent on a mobile object, said aggregator agent enabled to monitor a plurality of end point agents each associated with an asset carried on the mobile object, said aggregator agent further enabled to receive signals indicating out of band operating tolerance from said plurality of end point agents, said aggregator agent further enabled to determine locally priorities of said signals based on a rules engine local to the aggregator agent; and receiving at a host computer said priorities of said signals and information associated with said signals from said aggregator agent; and handling at said host computer said signals based on said priorities. - View Dependent Claims (9)

10. A system for prioritizing alerts on end points, comprising:
-
an aggregator agent located in a local environment and monitoring a plurality of end point agents each attached to an asset located in said local environment, said aggregator agent operable to receive signals from said end point agents; a rules engine comprising a plurality of rules for handling signals from said end point agents, said rules engine located in said local environment; and said aggregator agent prioritizing said signals received from said end point agents based on said plurality of rules and information associated with said local environment and said asset. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
