  • Patent number: 10270875
    Abstract: A technology is described for managing dynamic groups of devices using device representations. An example method may include receiving a request for a dynamic group of device representations. In response to the request, a membership parameter used to identify member device representations included in the dynamic group of device representations may be obtained. Device representations may be queried using the membership parameter to identify member device representations that have a state that corresponds to the membership parameter, and the dynamic group of device representations may be generated to include identifiers for the member device representations.

  • Publication number: 20190097989
    Abstract: A computing environment is disclosed that receives from devices requests directed toward services accessible in the environment, and that forwards communications from services in the environment to devices registered with the environment. During a registration process at the environment, devices are assigned a device identifier that is used to identify and authenticate each particular device and requests communicated from and to the device via the environment. The computing environment maintains state information for each device that has been registered with the system. As the device interacts with the system, the state information is updated to reflect the changes in the device. When requests to perform functions are received from devices, the computing environment determines for the particular device and the particular function requested what processing needs to be performed by the environment in response to the request.

  • Patent number: 10216540
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for configuring a coordinator within a coordinated environment, which environment includes set of coordinated devices managed by the coordinator. The coordinated devices may include devices configured to be managed remotely, such as thin devices, devices with alternative primary functions (e.g., appliances, household objects, etc.), or devices with limited localized user interfaces. To manage the set of coordinated devices, the coordinator can execute tasks, each task corresponding to a set of portable code executable by the coordinator to implement a desired functionality. A user may generate one or more tasks, and submit them to a service provider environment for deployment to the coordinator. The service provider environment can utilize a device shadow to notify the coordinator of the obtained tasks, and thereafter deliver the tasks to the coordinator, thus modifying a configuration of the coordinator.

  • Publication number: 20190037638
    Abstract: A hub device of a network receives data from edge devices and generates a local result. The hub device also sends the data to a remote provider network and receives a result from the remote provider network, wherein the result is based on the data received from the edge devices. The hub device then generates a response based on the local result or the received result. The hub device may determine to correct the local result based on the result received from the remote provider network, and generate the response based on the corrected result. The hub device may generate an initial response before receiving the result from the provider network. For example, the hub device may determine that the confidence level for the local result is above the threshold level and in response, generate the initial response based on the local result.

  • Publication number: 20190037040
    Abstract: Edge devices of a network collect data. An edge device may determine whether to process the data using a local data processing model or to send the data to a tier device. The tier device may receive the data from the edge device and determine whether to process the data using a higher tier data processing model of the tier device. If the tier device determines to process the data, then the tier device processes the data using the higher tier data processing model, generates a result based on the processing, and sends the result to an endpoint (e.g., back to the edge device, to another tier device, or to a control device). If the tier device determines not to process the data, then the tier device may send the data on to another tier device for processing by another higher tier model.

  • Publication number: 20190036716
    Abstract: A model training service of a provider network receives data from edge devices of a remote network. The model training service analyzes the received data. The model training service may also analyze global data from other edge devices of other remote networks. The model training service may then generate updates to local data processing models based on the analysis. The updates are configured to update the local data processing models at the edge devices of the remote network. The provider network deploys the updates to the remote network. The updates are then applied to the data processing models of the edge devices.

  • Publication number: 20180150341
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for implementing a coordinator within a coordinated environment, which environment includes set of coordinated devices managed by the coordinator. The coordinator can be provisioned with a set of tasks, each task corresponding to a segment of code that can be executed by the coordinator, such as to manage the coordinated devices. To assist in execution of the tasks, the coordinator can include a remote interface that enables retrieval of task calls from an external system, such as an external on-demand code execution environment. The remote interface may periodically retrieve calls from the external system, and generate corresponding call messages on the coordinator to cause executions of called tasks. The remote interface can further obtain outputs of such executions, and report those outputs to the external system.
