SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR COLLECTING AND REPORTING SENSOR DATA IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for reporting sensor data associated with a communication network to a trust mediator, the method comprising:
- receiving sensor data from a plurality of sensors;
storing the sensor data for each sensor in an electronic storage device;
receiving at least one data reporting instruction via the communication network, the data reporting instruction defining a data reporting technique corresponding to the sensor data associated with at least one of the plurality of sensors;
storing the data reporting instruction in the electronic storage device; and
transmitting, to the trust mediator over the communication network, at least a portion of the sensor data based on the data reporting instruction.

Abstract
A system for collecting and reporting sensor data in a communication network includes a microprocessor coupled to a memory and an electronic storage device. The microprocessor receives sensor data from sensors, and stores the sensor data for each sensor in the electronic storage device. The microprocessor also receives, via the communication network, a data reporting instruction defining a data reporting technique corresponding to the sensor data associated with one or more of the sensors. The data reporting instruction is stored in the electronic storage device, and the microprocessor transmits, to a trust mediator over the communication network, at least a portion of the sensor data based on the data reporting instruction. The trust mediator maintains an acceptable level of security for data throughout the communication network by adjusting security safeguards based on the sensor data.
