METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING RESOURCE LOAD DISTRIBUTION FOR EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining resource availability information, resource capability information, or a combination thereof associated with at least one embedded system, at least one device with connectivity to the at least one embedded system, or a combination thereof;
causing, at least in part, a transfer of one or more services of the at least one embedded system to the at least one device based, at least in part, on the resource availability information, resource capability information, or a combination thereof; and
causing, at least in part, a transmission of one or more service information updates to the at least one embedded system following the transfer,wherein the one or more service information updates are used by the at least one embedded system to resume the one or more services when the one or more services are no longer provided by the at least one device.

Abstract
An approach is provided for determining resource availability information, resource capability information, or a combination thereof associated with at least one embedded system, at least one device with connectivity to the at least one embedded system, or a combination thereof. The approach involves causing, at least in part, a transfer of one or more services of the at least one embedded system to the at least one device based, at least in part, on the resource availability information, resource capability information, or a combination thereof. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, a transmission of one or more service information updates to the at least one embedded system following the transfer. The one or more service information updates are used by the at least one embedded system to resume the one or more services when the one or more services are no longer provided by the at least one device.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, 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 resource availability information, resource capability information, or a combination thereof associated with at least one embedded system, at least one device with connectivity to the at least one embedded system, or a combination thereof; cause, at least in part, a transfer of one or more services of the at least one embedded system to the at least one device based, at least in part, on the resource availability information, resource capability information, or a combination thereof and cause, at least in part, a transmission of one or more service information updates to the at least one embedded system following the transfer, wherein the one or more service information updates are used by the at least one embedded system to resume the one or more services when the one or more services are no longer provided by the at least one device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory 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 at least perform the following steps:
-
determine resource availability information, resource capability information, or a combination thereof associated with at least one embedded system, at least one device with connectivity to the at least one embedded system, or a combination thereof; cause, at least in part, a transfer of one or more services of the at least one embedded system to the at least one device based, at least in part, on the resource availability information, resource capability information, or a combination thereof; and cause, at least in part, a transmission of one or more service information updates to the at least one embedded system following the transfer, wherein the one or more service information updates are used by the at least one embedded system to resume the one or more services when the one or more services are no longer provided by the at least one device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
