Abstract

A personalized data monitoring service is provided to users. Data from a user'"'"'s devices is collected and compared to user-defined rules and to ranges. Notification messages may be sent to notify of the data. Data labels may be added to explain the data and any abnormal condition.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

determining, by a server, devices associated with a user;

sending, by the server, queries to the devices associated with the user, the queries requesting data from the devices;

receiving, by the server, responses from the devices associated with the user, the responses comprising the data requested by the queries;

determining, by the server, a combination of the data;

determining, by the server, an action that is associated with the combination of the data; and

executing, by the server, the action that is associated with the combination of the data.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining addresses associated with the devices.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating an alert based on at least one of the responses from the devices.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating an alert based on all the responses from the devices.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising comparing at least one of the responses to a range of values.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising determining an abnormal condition in response to the at least one of the responses lying outside the range of values.

7. The method of claim 5, further comprising determining a normal condition in response to the at least one of the responses lying within the range of values.

8. A system, comprising:

a hardware processor; and

a memory device, the memory device storing instructions, the instructions when executed causing the hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising;

determining devices associated with a user;

sending queries to the devices associated with the user, the queries requesting data from the devices;

receiving responses from the devices associated with the user, the responses comprising the data requested by the queries;

determining a combination of the data requested by the queries;

determining an action specified by the user; and

executing the action based on the combination of the data.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise determining addresses associated with the devices associated with the user.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise generating an alert based on at least one of the responses from the devices.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise generating an alert based on the responses from the devices.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise comparing at least one of the responses from the devices to a range of values.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the operations further comprise determining an abnormal condition in response to the at least one of the responses lying outside the range of values.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the operations further comprise determining a normal condition in response to the at least one of the responses lying within the range of values.

15. A memory device storing instructions that when executed cause a hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

determining devices associated with a user;

sending queries to the devices associated with the user, the queries requesting data from the devices;

receiving responses from the devices associated with the user, the responses comprising the data requested by the queries;

determining a combination of the data requested by the queries;

determining an action specified by the user; and

executing the action based on the combination of the data.

16. The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise determining addresses associated with the devices associated with the user.

17. The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise generating an alert based on at least one of the responses from the devices.

18. The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise generating an alert based on the responses from the devices.

19. The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise comparing at least one of the responses from the devices to a range of values.

20. The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise determining at least one of an abnormal condition and a normal condition, the abnormal condition in response to the at least one of the responses lying outside the range of values, and the normal condition in response to the at least one of the responses lying within the range of values.
