AUTOMATIC, ADAPTIVE AND OPTIMIZED SENSOR SELECTION AND VIRTUALIZATION
First Claim
1. A system for managing sensors, the system comprising:
- a data reader to receive sensor measurements from physical sensors;
a user value collector to receive user values from users representing a user'"'"'s measurement of an abstract concept; and
a data store to store the sensor measurements and the user values; and
a virtual sensor generator to;
determine a mapping function based on the stored sensor measurements and user values; and
generate a virtual sensor using the mapping function and the sensor measurements from the sensors.

Abstract
A system, method and computer program product for managing sensors. One example of embodiment includes a data reader to receive sensor measurements from sensors. A user value collector receives user values from users representing a user'"'"'s measurement of an abstract concept. A data store saves the sensor measurements and the user values in computer readable memory. The system further includes a virtual sensor generator. The virtual sensor generator determines a mapping function based on the stored sensor measurements and user values. Furthermore, given a new set of sensor measurements from the sensors, the virtual sensor generator employs the mapping function to generate a new virtual sensor value.
