Acquiring and transmitting tasks and subtasks to interface devices
First Claim
1. A computationally-implemented method comprising:
- receiving request data including a request to carry out a task of acquiring data;
acquiring one or more subtasks related to the task of acquiring data;
selecting two or more discrete interface devices based on at least one of a status of the two or more discrete interface devices and a characteristic of the two or more discrete interface devices;
transmitting at least one of the one or more subtasks to at least two of the two or more discrete interface devices; and
receiving result data corresponding to a result of at least one subtask of the one or more subtasks executed by at least one of the two or more discrete interface devices.

Abstract
A computationally implemented method includes receiving request data including a request to carry out a task of acquiring data, acquiring one or more subtasks related to the task of acquiring data, selecting two or more discrete interface devices based on at least one of a status of the two or more discrete interface devices and a characteristic of the two or more discrete interface devices, transmitting at least one of the one or more subtasks to at least two of the two or more discrete interface devices, and receiving result data corresponding to a result of at least one subtask of the one or more subtasks executed by at least one of the two or more discrete interface devices. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.
