METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTEGRATING HETEROGENEOUS SENSOR DATA IN UBIQUITOUS SENSOR NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for integrating heterogeneous sensor data in a ubiquitous sensor network, the method comprising:
- receiving an integrated query for heterogeneous sensor networks from a sensor network management system;
disintegrating the received integrated query into each of queries to be suitable for each sensor network;
transmitting the disintegrated queries to each corresponding sensor network;
generating and storing integrated sensor data into an integrated database, upon receiving responses to the respective queries from each of the sensor networks; and
converting the integrated sensor data stored in the integrated database into a preset data format and transmitting the converted sensor data to the sensor network management system.

Abstract
Provided is an apparatus and method for integrating heterogeneous sensor data in a ubiquitous sensor network. The method includes steps of receiving an integrated query for heterogeneous sensor networks from a sensor network management system, disintegrating the received integrated query to be suitable for each sensor network and transmitting the disintegrated queries to each corresponding sensor network. The method further includes steps of generating responses as integrated sensor data and storing the integrated sensor data into an integrated database, when receiving responses to respective queries from each of the sensor networks, and converting the integrated sensor data stored in the integrated database into a preset data format and transmitting the converted sensor data to the sensor network management system.
