Abstract:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided low energy sensor data collection. In some example embodiments, there may be provided a method including sending an advertisement including a payload and an indicator identifying a server, the payload including data collected, generated, and/or measured by a sensor; receiving, from a gateway and the server, a reply including server data; and inhibiting, based on the received reply, the advertisement including the payload from being resent. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for matching vital sign information to a concurrently recorded data set according to a time domain. The approach involves determining sensor information collected from one or more sensors configured to monitor one or more vital signs of one or more objects within a monitored area. The approach also involves processing and/or facilitating a processing of the sensor information to detect the one or more objects and to track the one or more vital signs of the one or more objects over a time domain. The approach further involves matching the one or more vital signs of the one or more objects to a concurrently recorded data set based on the time domain. The approach further involves storing at least one record of the one or more vital signs matched to the concurrently recorded data set.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for recording, at a recording device, a media feed relating to a scene; receiving a series of wireless synchronisation messages at the recording device; recording a time stamp value with respect to each of the received messages indicating a time of receipt, and storing the time stamp values and the media feed. A method and apparatus are also disclosed for receiving, from each of a first and second recording device, a media feed recorded by the respective recording device and a series of time stamp values, wherein each time stamp value indicates a time of receipt of one of a series of wireless synchronisation messages at the respective recording device, and aligning the set of time stamp values received from a first recording device with the set of time stamp values received from a second recording device to synchronise the media feed received from the first recording device with the media feed received from the second recording device.
Abstract:
In an example embodiment, a method includes receiving, by an apparatus, an identifier associated with a device; transmitting a message to a remote server, requesting a user interface corresponding to a user function to be performed, the request message containing information including at least one of a user identifier, an indication of characteristics of the apparatus and an indication relating to the received identifier of the device; receiving from the server, information composed by the server based on the information transmitted to the server, the information received from the server including at least information suitable for compiling a user interface including parameters enabling controlling of the device; and providing a user interface compiled based on the received information, to enable a user of the apparatus to perform the user function of at least one of monitoring and controlling the device.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for facilitating efficient device discovery. In regards to a method implemented by a master device, a first identifier is received from a remote source. The method also receives one or more wireless device discovery packets comprising a second identifier from a proximate device, wherein the wireless device discovery packet comprises information compliant with a short-range communication technology to advertise presence of the proximate device or information compliant with a short-range communication technology to scan for proximate devices according to proximity-based communication technology. The method then, causes, in an instance in which at least the portion of the first identifier matches at least the portion of the second identifier, a wireless short-range communication connection procedure to be initiated between the apparatus and the proximate device, wherein the wireless short-range communication connection procedure complies with the proximity-based communication technology.
Abstract:
A technique for service discovery is provided. According to an example embodiment, the technique comprises creating in a wireless communication device and in dependence of a service authentication key associated with a service available in the wireless communication device, a concealed service identifier for identification of said service, constructing a service information message comprising a device identifier assigned for said wireless communication device and said concealed service identifier, and transmitting said service information message from the wireless communication device over a wireless link to one or more further wireless communication devices.
Abstract:
An example embodiment includes an apparatus receiving a message from a proximate device via a short-range communication connection, including ID information associated with the device; compiling a request message including the ID and information identifying the apparatus; transmitting the request message to a remote server for accessing control to the device; receiving information associated with a user interface or control interface for interacting with the device based on remote server access control, the received interface being based on the information included in the transmitted request message; compiling an interface for enabling a user of said apparatus to interact with the device based on the received information, the compiled interface including access rights for interacting with the device via remote server access control, depending on the information included in the transmitted request message; and interacting with the device via the remote server access control using the compiled interface.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for configuring one or more mobile devices to one or more services associated with at least one structure based on various contexts, access criteria, and/or security levels. The access platform determines proximity information of one or more devices with respect to at least a first access point, a second access point, or a combination thereof associated with at least one structure. The access platform next processes and/or facilitates a processing of the proximity information to determine one or more roles, one or more accesses, one or more rights, or a combination thereof. The access platform then determines one or more services to make available based, at least in part, on the one or more roles, the one or more accesses, the one or more rights, or a combination thereof.
Abstract:
In an example embodiment, a method includes determining, by an apparatus, whether the apparatus provides data for other wireless devices to request from the apparatus in response to wireless device discovery messages transmitted by the apparatus; and transmitting, by the apparatus, wireless device discovery messages including an indication that additional information should not be requested from the apparatus in response to the wireless device discovery messages, without establishing a connection with the apparatus, the indication being in response to the determination that the apparatus does not provide data for other wireless devices to request from the apparatus in response to the wireless device discovery messages.
Abstract:
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processing core, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to provide to a storage entity information relating to pairing an accessory with the apparatus, and determine an event and at least partly responsive to the event, notify the storage entity, the apparatus and/or the accessory of the event.
