First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of dynamically authorizing access to network sensor data, the method comprising:
- collecting sensor data in real-time from a plurality of sensing devices configured in a network arrangement, wherein the sensor data includes attributes of the plurality of sensing devices;
dynamically creating subsets of the sensor data, wherein a subset of the sensor data comprises a portion of the sensor data that is authorized for access by an application remote from the plurality of sensing devices; and
providing the application with authorized access to the subset of the sensor data.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for dynamically licensing access to wireless network information provides multiple third parties with selective access to network device information in real-time. Information is collected in real-time from a plurality of sensing and control devices configured in a network arrangement. Information may be collected from each of the sensing and control devices regardless of the communication protocol associated with the device. The collected information is stored and aggregated by a service broker, which selectively licenses access to the information, or subsets of the information, to one or more third parties.
