Abstract

Domain agnostic systems and methods for the capture, storage, and analysis of sensor readings including: collecting gauge readings from a plurality of gauges; storing the gauge readings in a database; normalizing select gauge readings in near-real time at the server from the database of the server in response to a user query; and generating a relationship among the select gauge readings in response to the user query; generating information for configuring an entity that provides feedback in a domain agnostic system, based on said relationship among the select gauge readings; and generating an alert in response to the select gauge readings satisfying a certain condition.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising executing on a device the steps of:

collecting gauge readings from a plurality of gauges;

storing the gauge readings in a database of a server comprising a processor and addressable memory;

normalizing select gauge readings in near-real time at the server from the database of the server in response to a user query;

generating a relationship among the select gauge readings in response to the user query, wherein each gauge reading comprises a time stamp, a field name, and a field value, and wherein the gauge readings are normalized to a common resolution based on the time stamp and a value grouping based on the field value;

generating information, using an alerting mechanism, for configuring an entity that provides feedback in a domain agnostic system, based on said relationship among the select gauge readings; and

generating an alert in response to the select gauge readings satisfying a certain condition.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the value grouping is based on at least one of:

sum, average minimum, maximum, first, and last field values.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the relationship measures changing radiation levels.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the relationship measures at least one of:

changing temperature levels and changing luminosity levels.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the condition is a user-defined condition.

6. A computer-implemented method comprising executing on a device the steps of:

storing gauge readings from a plurality of gauges in a database of a server comprising a processor and addressable memory;

normalizing select gauge readings in near-real time at the server from the database of the server in response to a user query;

generating a relationship among the select gauge readings in response to the user query, wherein each gauge reading comprises a time stamp, a field name, and a field value, and wherein the gauge readings are normalized to a common resolution based on the time stamp and a value grouping based on the field value;

generating information, using an alerting mechanism, for configuring an entity that provides feedback in a domain agnostic system, based on said relationship among the select gauge readings; and

generating an alert in response to the select gauge readings satisfying a certain condition.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the value grouping is based on at least one of:

sum, average minimum, maximum, first, and last field values.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the relationship measures changing radiation levels.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the relationship measures at least one of:

changing temperature levels and changing luminosity levels.

10. The method of claim 6 further comprising:

generating an alert in response to the select gauge readings satisfying a user-defined condition.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein, computer executable instructions that, if executed by a device, cause the device to perform a method comprising:

storing gauge readings from a plurality of gauges in a database of a server comprising a processor and addressable memory associated with the device;

normalizing select gauge readings in near-real time at the server from the database of the server in response to a user query;

generating a relationship among the select gauge readings in response to the user query, wherein each gauge reading comprises a time stamp, a field name, and a field value, and wherein the gauge readings are normalized to a common resolution based on the time stamp and a value grouping based on the field value;

generating information, using an alerting mechanism, for configuring an entity that provides feedback in a domain agnostic system, based on said relationship among the select gauge readings; and

generating an alert in response to the select gauge readings satisfying a certain condition.

12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein the value grouping is based on at least one of:

sum, average minimum, maximum, first, and last field values.

13. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein the relationship measures at least one of:

changing radiation levels, changing temperature levels, and changing luminosity levels.
