Abstract

Disclosed is an optimized asset management apparatus and an operation method thereof, the method including transmitting a request for state information of distributed resources to resource aggregators, receiving the state information of the distributed resources from the resource aggregators, analyzing the state information of the distributed resources, and registering at least one distributed resource among the distributed resources as an optimized asset based on a result of the analyzing.

Claims

1. A method of operating an optimized asset management apparatus, the method comprising:

transmitting, by the optimized asset management apparatus, a request for state information of distributed resources to resource aggregators;

receiving, by the optimized asset management apparatus, the state information of the distributed resources from the resource aggregators;

analyzing, by the optimized asset management apparatus, the state information of the distributed resources; and

registering, by the optimized asset management apparatus, at least one distributed resource among the distributed resources as an optimized asset based on a result of the analyzing,

wherein the at least one distributed resource is optimized for an immediate response among the distributed resources and satisfies the following equation;

2. The method of claim 1, wherein a resource state of the distributed resources corresponds to at least one of an environment setting, modeling information, network information, attribute information, or logic node information of the distributed resources.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the analyzing includes:

analyzing, by the optimized asset management apparatus, the state information of the distributed resources and verifying a location, a degree of response, and an availability of each of the distributed resources.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the registering includes:

calculating, by the optimized asset management apparatus, a distributed resource that is optimized based on the location, the degree of response, and the availability among the distributed resources; and

registering, by the optimized asset management apparatus, the calculated distributed resource as the optimized asset.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the calculating program code includes:

calculating, by the optimized asset management apparatus, a distance from a supply-and-demand region with respect to the distributed resources; and

verifying, by the optimized asset management apparatus, whether the availability is greater than zero with respect to the distributed resources.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting, by the optimized asset management apparatus, the request for the state information of the distributed resources to the resource aggregators; and

receiving, by the optimized asset management apparatus, when the distributed resources include a distributed resource of which state information is changed, the changed state information of the distributed resource.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the resource aggregators inquire about a resource state of each of the distributed resources and receive the resource state.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

sending, by the optimized asset management apparatus, a responding request to the optimized asset; and

receiving, by the optimized asset management apparatus, a response to the responding request from the optimized asset.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

managing, by the optimized asset management apparatus, history information including whether an immediate response is available and a location of the optimized asset.

10. An apparatus for managing an optimized asset, the apparatus comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable storage media storing computer executable program code; and

one or more processors that process the computer executable program code comprising;

communicator program code that communicates history a request for state information of distributed resources to resource aggregators and receives the state information of the distributed resources from the resource aggregators;

analyzer program code that analyzes history the state information of the distributed resources; and

registerer program code that registers history at least one distributed resource among the distributed resources as an optimized asset based on a result of the analyzing,

wherein the at least one distributed resource is optimized for an immediate response among the distributed resources and satisfies the following equation;

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the analyzer program code analyzes the state information of the distributed resources and verifies a location, a degree of response, and an availability of each of the distributed resources.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the computer executable program code further comprises program code that calculates a distance from a supply-and-demand region with respect to the distributed resources, and that verifies whether the availability is greater than zero with respect to the distributed resources.

13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the registerer program code calculates a distributed resource that is optimized based on the location, the degree of response, and the availability among the distributed resources, and registers the calculated distributed resource as the optimized asset.

14. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the resource aggregators comprise program code that inquires about a resource state of each of the distributed resources and that receives the resource state.
