  • Patent number: 7710258
    Abstract: Emergent information is created and utilized by an array of sensors. Each sensor is programmed with a trigger rule, which describes a local condition that must be met for the sensor to trigger an event signal, and a relationship rule, which describes a hierarchy of communication control among sensors in the array of sensors. When a predetermined percentage or weighting of the sensors trigger event signals, emergent information that describes conditions at the array location is generated.

  • Patent number: 7710259
    Abstract: A method for recreating known emergent information comprises initially storing data in a database. Multiple data patterns, which are based on known emergent information, are developed. These multiple data patterns are ranked according to each data pattern's historic accuracy in creating the known emergent information. The data is applied to a highest-ranked data pattern to recreate the known emergent information.

  • Patent number: 7693589
    Abstract: A method is presented for representing anomalies to a process. These anomalies are represented in an anti-pattern, which depicts non-productive emergent information that describes activities that are detrimental to the progress of the process. The anti-pattern includes visually-coded areas that describe how severe the detrimental activities are to the process when combined. After the anti-pattern is created for the process, new non-productive emergent information for a current process is mapped onto the anti-pattern in the form of data patterns represented as visual fences. Appropriate steps are then taken to address the new non-productive emergent information, depending on the visually-coded area to which the new non-productive emergent information is mapped.

  • Publication number: 20090309712
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for communicating pattern data is presented. A graphical event pattern is sent to an interconnected array of intelligent sensors. When intelligent sensors in the interconnected array determine that an event has occurred, the graphical event pattern is sent to a user. Thereafter, any data that supports the graphical event pattern is sent to the user. Thus, this supporting data is transmitted according to the graphical event pattern, rather than a header address.

  • Publication number: 20090313187
    Abstract: A plurality of pattern components is presented to a user. Each of the pattern components describe events and/or sub-events that, when combined, create emergent information that indicates the occurrence of a primary event. The user builds and then transmits a customized graphical event pattern, composed of one or more pattern components, rules and other emergent information artifacts to a server, which generates an underlying database file that describes the customized graphical event pattern and/or data pattern. The data pattern is then transmitted to an intelligent sensor, server, or other detection device. If a set of event data inputs, from an interlinked array of intelligent sensors or other detection devices, meet a predetermined threshold requirement of one or more of the pattern components, the data patterns then intercommunicate and vote as to the degree to which they have collectively each detected a primary event, using the sub-events as criteria.

  • Publication number: 20090281861
    Abstract: A Consolidated Business Service (CBS) manages an interface between Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) services and resources used by at least one enterprise customer. The CBS utilizes an Enterprise Systems Management (ESM) layer that includes: a bi-directional portal between Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) services and enterprise resources used by at least one enterprise customer; an aggregating logic for aggregating incoming and outgoing messages from the SOA services and the enterprise resources; a strategy set of rules that define pre-set responses to an event described by one or more of the incoming messages from the enterprise resources, wherein the pre-set responses are provided by a SOA response service from the SOA services; and a delegation logic for delegating the pre-set responses to agents in the affected resources, wherein the agents are software logic that have been pre-deployed, from the ESM layer to the affected resources, for executing the pre-set responses.
