Apparatus and method for creating and managing personalized services in communication system
First Claim
1. A processor-executed method for creating and managing personalized services in a communication system, comprising:
- performing pre-processing for converting vendor- and device-specific sensor data into a normalized form to produce normalized sensor data;
the processor analyzing the normalized sensor data, determining a current state of entities being managed, and producing state-related context data to thereby determine whether current services and resources that have been allocated to a user are being satisfied or not; and
the processor examining the state-related context data to determine what action to take to ensure that the context-specific services and/or resources required by the user are being supplied,wherein the processor checks whether the state-related context data indicates a change in context, and if there exists a change in context, the processor analyzes whether existing policy rules are still relevant for a changed context.

Abstract
An apparatus for creating and managing personalized services includes: a pre-processing unit for converting vendor- and device-specific sensor data into a normalized form; an analysis unit for determining a current state of entities being managed based on the normalized sensor data to thereby determine whether current services and/or resources that have been allocated to a user are being satisfied or not; and a personalization unit for examining state-related context data to determine what action to take. The personalization of the services and/or resources provided to a user or set of users is managed by context-sensitive policy rules. In addition, a set of abstractions, in the form of preferences, profiles, and subscriptions, are collectively used to determine the set of services and/or resources, as a function of context, that a user or set of users are entitled to receive.
