Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by an interfacing device, sensor data from a physical device coupled to the interfacing device, wherein the physical device measures one or more physical attributes;
selecting a rule to process based on the obtained sensor data, wherein the rule includes an action description for performing an action, and includes a condition that takes the sensor data as input and indicates criteria for performing the action;
determining that the rule'"'"'s condition is satisfied; and
processing the rule'"'"'s action description to perform the action.

Abstract
A sensor-monitoring interfacing device is coupled to one or more physical devices that include sensors for measuring physical attributes. During operation, the interfacing device obtains and processes sensor data from the physical devices. When the interfacing device obtains sensor data from a physical device, the interfacing device selects a rule to process based on the obtained sensor data. If the interfacing device determines that the rule'"'"'s condition is satisfied, the interfacing device can process the rule'"'"'s action description to perform a corresponding action.
