Abstract: Embodiments of a method and system for automatically installing and managing consumer devices in a home network environment are described. A system implements automated configuration and maintenance of devices and their peripherals that connect to the home network, in particular the establishment of a distributed system that serves as a service platform which facilitates automated discovery and initial and ongoing deployment of a home networks and the devices that may interact with or connect to their network automatically or through manual means. An embodiment is directed to a distributed system and method for facilitated automatic configuration, maintenance, and diagnostics of a local area network that in parallel provides for the interoperability of connected intelligent independent computing devices using physical layer, network layer and application layer programmatic interfaces.

Abstract: A system for automatically installing and managing devices in a home network implements automated configuration and maintenance of devices and peripherals. A service platform facilitates automated discovery and deployment of home networks and devices that interact with the network. The system includes a monitoring and learning processes for automatic issue detection and alerting. Activity of users and devices within the home are monitored, usage patterns are learned and applied back to the system to improve the digital performance of the home. This system leverages data center, service node, and agent software in the devices to access a knowledge base storing data regarding home entities. A hierarchical index model is used to assign intelligence levels to these entities based on certain parameters. The indices are used to direct alert messages, take an action, and implement a targeted facility for providing communications from network managers or service providers.

Abstract: A concurrent graph DBMS allows for representation of graph data structures in memory, using familiar Java object navigation, while at the same time providing atomicity, consistently, and transaction isolation properties of a DBMS, including concurrent access and modification of the data structure from multiple application threads. The concurrent graph DBMS serves as a “traffic cop” between application threads to prevent them from seeing unfinished and inconsistent changes made by other threads, and atomicity of changes. The concurrent graph DBMS provides automatic detection of deadlocks and correct rollback of a thread's incomplete transaction when exceptions or deadlocks occur. The concurrent graph DBMS may be generated from a schema description specifying objects and relationships between objects, for the concurrent graph DBMS.
