Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for generating an index and creating a network of devices based on the index. Information and data may be provided via the network. In one example, a request may be received from a user at a service. The service may maintain an index containing characteristics of devices. Any number or type of devices may be selected to participate in the network. Also, the network may be subsequently modified by the addition or removal of any device from the network. Information or data received from the network devices may be returned to the user requesting the information via the service.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for managing or controlling a network of federated devices. In one example, the devices in the network capture data corresponding to an object or entity of interest. The captured data is sent to a server component such as a hub or backend processor which further processes the data. Based on the received data, the hub or backend processor generates commands or instructions for the network or devices in the network. The commands/instructions are sent to the network to modify network behavior or to controlling device behavior.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for managing a plurality of devices in a federated network and a sub-network within the federated network. The devices in the sub-network may have a functional capability of performing a function associated with the federated network. For example, the federated network may include devices for providing data content such as media content and the sub-network may include devices for controlling the presentation of the data content. In addition, a constellation of devices is provided that may share data content such as media data. At least some of the devices in the constellation may form a sub-network.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for collecting data and generating synthesized data from the collected data. For example, a request for an image may be received from a requestor and at least one data capture device may be identified as capable of providing at least a portion of the requested image. A request may be sent to identified data capture devices to obtain an image corresponding to the requested image. Multiple images may be received from the data capture devices and may further be connected or stitched together to provide a panoramic, 3-dimensional image of requested subject matter.

Abstract: The present invention includes entity tracking, privacy assurance, and zone policy administration technologies allowing for the creation of zone policies, including the definition of zones and managed entities, the zone policies including rules that apply to the managed entities within or in relation to the zones, and privacy policies assuring privacy of sensitive data. The technologies also provide for the definition of sensors, rule event objects, and default event objects, and for the establishment of associations between rules and managed entities, sensors, and rule event objects so as to create zone policies. Event objects may generate zone policy events or actions upon compliance with or violation of various rules of zone policy. Managed entities are defined as entities associated with mobile devices capable of location tracking and communication with zone policy servers. Entities may be persons, vehicles, animals, or any other object for which tracking and zone policy administration is of value. Zone policy may include privacy policy that may restrict access to or set access conditions for data or information. Privacy policies may be used to ensure individual managed entities and their data remain anonymous to a desired degree and that sensitive data is appropriately protected.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for management of medical data from a network of devices. The network of devices may include federated sensors that collect and forward medical data pertaining to an individual or biological specimen. The federated sensors or a central or remote device may further process the medical data and assign a priority value to the medical data. Processing can also include the analysis of the data for sensor error, local fusion of multiple sensors into higher-level interpretations, and the summarization or abstraction of the data into information that people are more comfortable with sharing than they might be with transmittal of the base data. The medical data may be transported to a healthcare provider or other endpoints based on the priority value and the authorization of recipient.
