Abstract:
An embodiment includes a prediction system for initiating a data transfer to a decision system. The prediction system is configured to identify a decision, the decision being a result of a computation of the decision system according to a set of predefined rules and input data. The prediction system is further configured to identify predicted input data representing a portion of the input data and to initiate a transfer of the predicted input data to the decision system prior to the computation of the decision.
Abstract:
A sales information architecture detects user interaction with a tagged item and in response displays product information about the item to the user. The architecture can process a sales transaction involving the item and report the sale in real-time to other enterprises such as manufacturers using a publish subscribe messaging service.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are described that provide a system monitor component, e.g., for a sensor network, which may include, e.g., a server component that is continuously running and monitoring zero or more networks consisting of (possibly wireless) devices, where each network may be executing a different communications protocol, such as a proprietary, platform-dependent protocol. The system monitor may maintain a system model of the networks. The system monitor may be connected with the networks through a message transport system that routes any occurring messages in a common or standard communications protocol, as well as message handlers that access either platform-abstracting gateways or the proprietary messages that the devices of one or more of the networks may use.

Abstract:
Computer-assisted procedure (501/502) to communicate data in a transportation system (90) that physically transports objects (800) from first to second locations (10, 20). The objects (800) have write/read memory tags (300). Prior to communicating data is separated into meta-data M and content-data C. Communicated are: C on the tags (300), M through a computer network, and type-data T (representing M) on the tags. System computers (901, 902, 900) perform complementary methods for forwarding (501) and retrieving (502). To forward (501) data from the first location (10), a first computer (901) queries (510) an exchange computer (901) with M for T according to a predefined T-to-M table, writes T to the tags (300), and writes C to the tags (300). To retrieve (502) data at the second location (20) where the objects arrive, a second computer (902) reads T from the (300), queries (550) the exchange computer (900) with T for M according to the same table, and reads (560) C from the tags (300).
Abstract:
Implementations are disclosed for operating a multi-sensor system. A plurality of sensors each output data, via a common interface, to a resolver that is also communicating with the interface. The resolver groups the output data with respect to a particular object, and aggregates the output data according to rules and information stored about the object in a database. In this way, the multi-sensor system may obtain information about the object, such as its identity, status, or location. The multi-sensor system is extremely accurate and reliable, since it can infer accuracy from a plurality of independent sensors, and is operable even when one or more sensors fails or malfunctions. Moreover, the multi-sensor system is flexible, and can activate, de-activate, or adjust any one of the sensors depending on, for example, a need for or cost of the sensor. Additional sensors can easily be added on an as-needed basis, due to the common interface and the flexible nature of the resolver and the database.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer program products, implementing techniques for aggregating sensor data. In one aspect, the techniques include receiving sensor data values emitted by a sensor device, identifying the occurrence of a business event based on the sensor data values, and notifying an enterprise application of the occurrence of the business event. The business event being at a higher-level than the sensor data values.
