Hierarchical service management
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A service system managing services comprising:
- a storage device to store a hierarchy of a network including devices in the network for each level of a plurality of levels of the hierarchy,wherein the levels of hierarchy of the network divide the network based on categories of devices;
a service manager computer system to;
receive a selection of a level of the hierarchy of the network,determine functions of a devise in the level and present the functions via a user interface;
receive a selection of one of the functions;
generate a service profile for a service based on the select function and the device in the level, wherein the service profile for the service includes a trigger condition, and the trigger condition specifies a condition to satisfy to trigger the service including the selected function; and
store the service profile in the storage device, wherein the storage device stores a plurality of service profiles for devices in the hierarchy of the network.

Abstract
A service management system may include a data storage device storing a hierarchy of a network in a user premises. The hierarchy may include virtual network layers and devices in each layer. The devices may be connected to the network in the user premises. The storage device may also store service profiles for services associated with the virtual network layers and the devices. The system can create services for the devices and identify services to trigger based on data received from the devices and the hierarchy.

9. A system managing services, the system comprising:
-
a storage device to store a hierarchy of a computer network, the hierarchy including devices in the network for each layer, store service profiles for services associated with the devices in a plurality of levels in the hierarchy, and store a user hierarchy, wherein levels of the user hierarchy include at least one user for each level; and at least one processor to; aggregate the hierarchy of the network and the user hierarchy, and determine whether to trigger a service for one of the stored service profiles to a user of the user premises based on the aggregated hierarchy. - View Dependent Claims (10, 12)

11. The system 10, comprising:
a network interface to receive data from the devices in the network, and the at least one processor is to determine whether at least one of the conditions is satisfied based on the received data.

13. A method of creating service profiles, the method comprising:
-
storing, in a data storage device, a hierarchy of a network including devices in the network for each level of plurality of levels of the hierarchy, wherein the levels of the hierarchy of the network divide the network based on categories of devices; receiving a selection of a level of the hierarchy of the network; determining functions of a device in the level; receiving a selection of one of the functions; generating, by a processor, a service profile for a service based on the selected function and the device in the level, wherein the service profile for the service includes a trigger condition, and the trigger condition specifies a condition to satisfy to trigger the service including the selected function; and storing the service profile in the data storage device, wherein the data storage device stores a plurality of service profiles for the devices in the hierarchy of the network. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
