METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING CONTEXT-AWARE CONTROL OF SENSORS AND SENSOR DATA
First Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- context information based, at least in part, on one or more sensors;
resource consumption information associated with one or more other sensors one or more functions of the one or more other sensors, or a combination thereof; and
a processing of the context information and the resource consumption information to determine at least one operational state associated with the one or more other sensors, the one or more functions of the one or more other sensors, or a combination thereof.

Abstract
An approach is provided for context-aware control of sensors and sensor data. A sensor manager determines context information based, at least in part, on one or more sensors. The sensor manager also determines resource consumption information associated with a one or more other sensors, one or more functions of the one or more other sensors, or a combination thereof. The sensor manager then processes and/or facilitates a processing of the context information and the resource consumption information to determine at least one operational state associated with the one or more other sensors, the one or more functions of the one or more other sensors, or a combination thereof.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, determine context information based, at least in part, on one or more sensors; determine resource consumption information associated with a one or more other sensors, one or more functions of the one or more other sensors, or a combination thereof; and process and/or facilitate a processing of the context information and the resource consumption information to determine at least one operational state associated with the one or more other sensors, the one or more functions of the one or more other sensors, or a combination thereof. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform at least:
-
determining context information based, at least in part, on one or more sensors; determining resource consumption information associated with a one or more other sensors, one or more functions of the one or more other sensors, or a combination thereof; and processing and/or facilitating a processing of the context information and the resource consumption information to determine at least one operational state associated with the one or more other sensors, the one or more functions of the one or more other sensors, or a combination thereof. - View Dependent Claims (20)
